Merge tag 'mm-stable-2023-04-27-15-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of switching from a user process to a kernel thread. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj Raghav. - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky. - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the alteration of memcg userspace tunables. - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig: - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page() - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap backing. Use `mount -o noswap'. - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing some scalability benefits. - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its operations O(1) rather than O(n). - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd, permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes. - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were caused by its unintuitive meaning. - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature, which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte. - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge(): cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test harness. - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes. - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c. - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more. - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases. - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge(). - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code. - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping locks in ->map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults. - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to per-VMA locking. - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads. - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig logic. - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a chunk of memory if zswap is not being used. - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics flushing. - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged, userfaultfd and shmem. - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related code paths. - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's testing of our pte state changing. - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it. - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd selftests. - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim accounting. - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the selftests/mm code. - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned pages. - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time. - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a per-process and per-cgroup basis. * tag 'mm-stable-2023-04-27-15-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (369 commits) mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible shmem: restrict noswap option to initial user namespace mm/khugepaged: fix conflicting mods to collapse_file() sparse: remove unnecessary 0 values from rc mm: move 'mmap_min_addr' logic from callers into vm_unmapped_area() hugetlb: pte_alloc_huge() to replace huge pte_alloc_map() maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area() mm: do not increment pgfault stats when page fault handler retries zsmalloc: allow only one active pool compaction context selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs mm: add new api to enable ksm per process mm: shrinkers: fix debugfs file permissions mm: don't check VMA write permissions if the PTE/PMD indicates write permissions migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry userfaultfd: use helper function range_in_vma() lib/show_mem.c: use for_each_populated_zone() simplify code mm: correct arg in reclaim_pages()/reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() fs/buffer: convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper ...

For printing flags bitfields as a collection of symbolic constants that
would construct the value. The type of flags is given by the third
-character. Currently supported are [p]age flags, [v]ma_flags (both
-expect ``unsigned long *``) and [g]fp_flags (expects ``gfp_t *``). The flag
-names and print order depends on the particular type.
