Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-01-08-15-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are included in this merge do the following: - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series 'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers' 'Some cleanups of maple tree' - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem' Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily have its memmap placed within that newly added memory. - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes) in the patch series 'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()' 'Make folio_start_writeback return void' 'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages' 'Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio' 'Finish two folio conversions' 'More swap folio conversions' - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series 'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault' - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series 'tweak kmemleak report format'. - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction of no longer needed stack traces. - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm: page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'. - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series 'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'. - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series 'maple_tree: iterator state changes'. - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series 'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'. - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the series 'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS' 'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests' 'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8' - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'. - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during anonymous page faults. - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head cleanups'. - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series 'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free. - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm: Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs. - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'. - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the writeback paths'. - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan: save mempool stack traces'. - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series 'kasan: assorted clean-ups'. - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap: interface overhaul'. - Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code in the series 'mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup'. - Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code cleanups in the series 'Remove some lruvec page accounting functions'" * tag 'mm-stable-2024-01-08-15-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (361 commits) mm, treewide: rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER mm, treewide: introduce NR_PAGE_ORDERS selftests/mm: add separate UFFDIO_MOVE test for PMD splitting selftests/mm: skip test if application doesn't has root privileges selftests/mm: conform test to TAP format output selftests: mm: hugepage-mmap: conform to TAP format output selftests/mm: gup_test: conform test to TAP format output mm/selftests: hugepage-mremap: conform test to TAP format output mm/vmstat: move pgdemote_* out of CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING mm: zsmalloc: return -ENOSPC rather than -EINVAL in zs_malloc while size is too large mm/memcontrol: remove __mod_lruvec_page_state() mm/khugepaged: use a folio more in collapse_file() slub: use a folio in __kmalloc_large_node slub: use folio APIs in free_large_kmalloc() slub: use alloc_pages_node() in alloc_slab_page() mm: remove inc/dec lruvec page state functions mm: ratelimit stat flush from workingset shrinker kasan: stop leaking stack trace handles mm/mglru: remove CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE mm/mglru: add dummy pmd_dirty() ...
