Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
(SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
non-fatal manner
- Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ
- Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests
Loongarch:
- Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register
- Add AVEC basic support
- Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC
- Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests
RISC/V:
- SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest
- Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores
s390:
- Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
(and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
introduced by z114/z196 in 2010
- VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support
- Operation exception forwarding support
- Cleanups
x86:
- Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
zap
- Relocate a misplaced export
- Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM
- Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down
- Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()
- Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host
- Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections
- Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS
- Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
fixed
- Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
large multi-byte instructions
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs
- Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation
- Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode
- Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
on VMRUN and #VMEXIT
- Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3
- Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
don't require any actual support from KVM
x86 (Intel):
- Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of
the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to
pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT
flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous
flush
- Add a few missing nested consistency checks
- Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware
as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer
useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param
to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's
SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter
- Misc cleanups
- Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting
on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention
in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird,
ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's
devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host
kernel)
- Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a
TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through
- Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL)
- Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace
- Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR
values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber
host MSRs as expected
Selftests:
- Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU
system/VM
- Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with
specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line
- Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well
- Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test
to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using
5-level paging, but L2 is not
- Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core
logic for nested EPT and nested NPT
guest_memfd:
- Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety
of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way
- Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a
guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references
- Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug
selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where
test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU
workqueue for irqfd cleanup
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation
- Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search"

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:
- Move libvfio selftest artifacts in preparation of more tightly
coupled integration with KVM selftests (David Matlack)
- Fix comment typo in mtty driver (Chu Guangqing)
- Support for new hardware revision in the hisi_acc vfio-pci variant
driver where the migration registers can now be accessed via the PF.
When enabled for this support, the full BAR can be exposed to the
user (Longfang Liu)
- Fix vfio cdev support for VF token passing, using the correct size
for the kernel structure, thereby actually allowing userspace to
provide a non-zero UUID token. Also set the match token callback for
the hisi_acc, fixing VF token support for this this vfio-pci variant
driver (Raghavendra Rao Ananta)
- Introduce internal callbacks on vfio devices to simplify and
consolidate duplicate code for generating VFIO_DEVICE_GET_REGION_INFO
data, removing various ioctl intercepts with a more structured
solution (Jason Gunthorpe)
- Introduce dma-buf support for vfio-pci devices, allowing MMIO regions
to be exposed through dma-buf objects with lifecycle managed through
move operations. This enables low-level interactions such as a
vfio-pci based SPDK drivers interacting directly with dma-buf capable
RDMA devices to enable peer-to-peer operations. IOMMUFD is also now
able to build upon this support to fill a long standing feature gap
versus the legacy vfio type1 IOMMU backend with an implementation of
P2P support for VM use cases that better manages the lifecycle of the
P2P mapping (Leon Romanovsky, Jason Gunthorpe, Vivek Kasireddy)
- Convert eventfd triggering for error and request signals to use RCU
mechanisms in order to avoid a 3-way lockdep reported deadlock issue
(Alex Williamson)
- Fix a 32-bit overflow introduced via dma-buf support manifesting with
large DMA buffers (Alex Mastro)
- Convert nvgrace-gpu vfio-pci variant driver to insert mappings on
fault rather than at mmap time. This conversion serves both to make
use of huge PFNMAPs but also to both avoid corrected RAS events
during reset by now being subject to vfio-pci-core's use of
unmap_mapping_range(), and to enable a device readiness test after
reset (Ankit Agrawal)

code to provide better separation between IOMMU and device objects.
This work also enables a new test suite addition to measure parallel
device initialization latency (David Matlack)

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux
Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Improve the granularity of SELinux labeling for memfd files
Currently when creating a memfd file, SELinux treats it the same as
any other tmpfs, or hugetlbfs, file. While simple, the drawback is
that it is not possible to differentiate between memfd and tmpfs
files.
This adds a call to the security_inode_init_security_anon() LSM hook
and wires up SELinux to provide a set of memfd specific access
controls, including the ability to control the execution of memfds.
As usual, the commit message has more information.
- Improve the SELinux AVC lookup performance
Adopt MurmurHash3 for the SELinux AVC hash function instead of the
custom hash function currently used. MurmurHash3 is already used for
the SELinux access vector table so the impact to the code is minimal,
and performance tests have shown improvements in both hash
distribution and latency.
See the commit message for the performance measurments.
- Introduce a Kconfig option for the SELinux AVC bucket/slot size
While we have the ability to grow the number of AVC hash buckets
today, the size of the buckets (slot size) is fixed at 512. This pull
request makes that slot size configurable at build time through a new
Kconfig knob, CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_HASH_BITS.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.
The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
(similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
several cleanups/typos.
Summary:
Core features:
- Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API
Perf and PMU:
- Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs
- Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
for NVIDIA implementations
- Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect
- Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs
- Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver
- Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver
Memory managemennt:
- Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault
- Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid
- Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros
- Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()
- Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()
ACPI and EFI:
- Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption
- Remove unused ACPI function
Miscellaneous:

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
- Provide a new interface for dynamic configuration and deconfiguration
of hotplug memory, allowing with and without memmap_on_memory
support. This makes the way memory hotplug is handled on s390 much
more similar to other architectures
- Remove compat support. There shouldn't be any compat user space
around anymore, therefore get rid of a lot of code which also doesn't
need to be tested anymore
- Add stackprotector support. GCC 16 will get new compiler options,
which allow to generate code required for kernel stackprotector
support
- Merge pai_crypto and pai_ext PMU drivers into a new driver. This
removes a lot of duplicated code. The new driver is also extendable
and allows to support new PMUs
- Add driver override support for AP queues
- Rework and extend zcrypt and AP trace events to allow for tracing of
crypto requests
- Support block sizes larger than 65535 bytes for CCW tape devices
- Since the rework of the virtual kernel address space the module area
and the kernel image are within the same 4GB area. This eliminates
the need of weak per cpu variables. Get rid of

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
cumbersome cleanup paths.
FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:
fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
if (fd < 0)
vfio_device_put_registration(device);
return fd;
FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
additional work before publishing:
FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
if (fdf.err) {
fput(sync_file->file);
return fdf.err;
}
data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
return -EFAULT;
return fd_publish(fdf);
The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.
I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file
position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common
operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current
folio.
The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and
is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems:
- btrfs
- buffer
- ext4
- f2fs
- gfs2
- iomap
- netfs
- xfs
- mm
This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files
larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but
the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs,
they were just mildly inefficient.
This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent
commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on
64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit
systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures.
Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in
places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it
is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are
always unsigned regardless of architecture"

Pull writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Allow file systems to increase the minimum writeback chunk size.
The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that
written back inodes on rotational media are switched a lot. Besides
introducing additional seeks, this also can lead to extreme file
fragmentation on zoned devices when a lot of files are cached
relative to the available writeback bandwidth.
This adds a superblock field that allows the file system to
override the default size, and sets it to the zone size for zoned
XFS.
- Add logging for slow writeback when it exceeds
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs. This helps identify tasks waiting
for a long time and pinpoint potential issues. Recording the
starting jiffies is also useful when debugging a crashed vmcore.
- Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk
Cleanups:
- filemap_* writeback interface cleanups.
Adding filemap_fdatawrite_wbc ended up being a mistake, as all but
the original btrfs caller should be using better high level
interfaces instead.
This series removes all these low-level interfaces, switches btrfs
to a more specific interface, and cleans up other too low-level
interfaces. With this the writeback_control that is passed to the
writeback code is only initialized in three places.

"Features:
- Hide inode->i_state behind accessors. Open-coded accesses prevent
asserting they are done correctly. One obvious aspect is locking,

"FUSE iomap Support for Buffered Reads:
This adds iomap support for FUSE buffered reads and readahead. This
enables granular uptodate tracking with large folios so only

with large folios + writeback cache that could cause data corruption
on partial writes followed by reads.
- Refactored iomap read/readahead bio logic into helpers

Add folio batch support for iomap_zero_range() to handle dirty
folios over unwritten mappings. Fix raciness issues where dirty data
could be lost during zero range operations.

Restore pre-iomap behavior where pure overwrite completions run
inline rather than being deferred to workqueue. Reduces context
switches for high-performance workloads like ScyllaDB.
- Removed unused IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP code
- Error completions always run in user context (fixes zonefs)

If we get a signal, we need to restore the vm_refcnt. We don't think that
the refcount can actually be decremented to zero here as it requires the
VMA to be detached, and the vma_mark_detached() uses TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.
However, that's a bit subtle, so handle it as if the refcount was zero at
the start of this function.

Patch series "mm/swapfile: fix and cleanup swap list iterations", v2.
This series fixes a potential list iteration issue in swap_sync_discard()
when devices are removed, and includes a cleanup for
__folio_throttle_swaprate().
This patch (of 2):
When the next node is removed from the plist (e.g. by swapoff),
plist_del() makes the node point to itself, causing the iteration to loop
on the same entry indefinitely.
Add a plist_node_empty() check to detect this case and restart iteration,
allowing swap_sync_discard() to continue processing remaining swap devices
that still have pending discard entries.
Additionally, switch from swap_avail_lock/swap_avail_head to
swap_lock/swap_active_head so that iteration is only affected by swapoff
operations rather than frequent availability changes, reducing exceptional
condition checks and lock contention.

During system shutdown, KFENCE can cause IPI synchronization issues if it
remains active through the reboot process. To prevent this, register a
reboot notifier that disables KFENCE and cancels any pending timer work
early in the shutdown sequence.
This is only necessary when CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS is enabled, as this
configuration sends IPIs that can interfere with shutdown. Without static
keys, no IPIs are generated and KFENCE can safely remain active.
The notifier uses maximum priority (INT_MAX) to ensure KFENCE shuts down
before other subsystems that might still depend on stable memory
allocation behavior.
This fixes a late kexec CSD lockup[1] when kfence is trying to IPI a CPU
that is busy in a IRQ-disabled context printing characters to the console.

Patch series "initial work on making VMA flags a bitmap", v3.
We are in the rather silly situation that we are running out of VMA flags
as they are currently limited to a system word in size.
This leads to absurd situations where we limit features to 64-bit
architectures only because we simply do not have the ability to add a flag
for 32-bit ones.
This is very constraining and leads to hacks or, in the worst case, simply
an inability to implement features we want for entirely arbitrary reasons.
This also of course gives us something of a Y2K type situation in mm where
we might eventually exhaust all of the VMA flags even on 64-bit systems.
This series lays the groundwork for getting away from this limitation by
establishing VMA flags as a bitmap whose size we can increase in future
beyond 64 bits if required.
This is necessarily a highly iterative process given the extensive use of
VMA flags throughout the kernel, so we start by performing basic steps.
Firstly, we declare VMA flags by bit number rather than by value,
retaining the VM_xxx fields but in terms of these newly introduced
VMA_xxx_BIT fields.
While we are here, we use sparse annotations to ensure that, when dealing
with VMA bit number parameters, we cannot be passed values which are not
declared as such - providing some useful type safety.
We then introduce an opaque VMA flag type, much like the opaque mm_struct
flag type introduced in commit bb6525f2f8c4 ("mm: add bitmap mm->flags
field"), which we establish in union with vma->vm_flags (but still set at
system word size meaning there is no functional or data type size change).
We update the vm_flags_xxx() helpers to use this new bitmap, introducing
sensible helpers to do so.
This series lays the foundation for further work to expand the use of
bitmap VMA flags and eventually eliminate these arbitrary restrictions.
This patch (of 4):
In order to lay the groundwork for VMA flags being a bitmap rather than a
system word in size, we need to be able to consistently refer to VMA flags
by bit number rather than value.
Take this opportunity to do so in an enum which we which is additionally
useful for tooling to extract metadata from.
This additionally makes it very clear which bits are being used for what
at a glance.
We use the VMA_ prefix for the bit values as it is logical to do so since
these reference VMAs. We consistently suffix with _BIT to make it clear
what the values refer to.
We declare bit values even when the flags that use them would not be
enabled by config options as this is simply clearer and clearly defines
what bit numbers are used for what, at no additional cost.
We declare a sparse-bitwise type vma_flag_t which ensures that users can't
pass around invalid VMA flags by accident and prepares for future work
towards VMA flags being a bitmap where we want to ensure bit values are
type safe.
To make life easier, we declare some macro helpers - DECLARE_VMA_BIT()
allows us to avoid duplication in the enum bit number declarations (and
maintaining the sparse __bitwise attribute), and INIT_VM_FLAG() is used to
assist with declaration of flags.
Unfortunately we can't declare both in the enum, as we run into issue with
logic in the kernel requiring that flags are preprocessor definitions, and
additionally we cannot have a macro which declares another macro so we
must define each flag macro directly.
Additionally, update the VMA userland testing vma_internal.h header to
include these changes.
We also have to fix the parameters to the vma_flag_*_atomic() functions
since VMA_MAYBE_GUARD_BIT is now of type vma_flag_t and sparse will
complain otherwise.
We have to update some rather silly if-deffery found in mm/task_mmu.c
which would otherwise break.
Finally, we update the rust binding helper as now it cannot auto-detect
the flags at all.

monotonicity
calculate_totalreserve_pages() currently finds the maximum
lowmem_reserve[j] for a zone by scanning the full forward range [j =
zone_idx .. MAX_NR_ZONES). However, for a given zone i, the
lowmem_reserve[j] array (for j > i) is naturally expected to form a
monotonically non-decreasing sequence in j, not as an implementation
detail, but as a consequence that naturally arises from the semantics of
lowmem_reserve[].
For zone "i", lowmem_reserve[j] expresses how many pages in zone i must
effectively be kept in reserve when deciding whether an allocation class
that may allocate from zones up to j is allowed to fall back into i. It
protects less flexible allocation classes (which cannot use higher zones)
from being starved by more flexible ones.
Viewed from this semantics, it is natural to expect a partial ordering in
j: as j increases, the allocation class gains access to a strictly larger
set of fallback zones. Therefore lowmem_reserve[j] is expected to be
monotonically non-decreasing in j: more flexible allocation classes must
not be allowed to deplete low zones more aggressively than less flexible
ones.
In other words, if lowmem_reserve[j] were ever observed to *decrease* as j
grows, that would be unexpected from the reserve semantics' point of view
and would likely indicate a semantic change or a misconfiguration.
The current implementation in setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() reflects
this policy by accumulating managed pages from higher zones and applying
the configured ratio, which results in a non-decreasing sequence. This
patch makes calculate_totalreserve_pages() rely on that monotonicity
explicitly and finds the maximum reserve value by scanning backward and
stopping at the first non-zero entry. This avoids unnecessary iteration
and reflects the conceptual model more directly. No functional behavior
changes.
To maintain this assumption explicitly, a comment is added next to
setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve() documenting the monotonicity expectation
and noting that calculate_totalreserve_pages() relies on it.

We have a colocation cluster used for deploying both offline and online
services simultaneously. In this environment, we encountered a
scenario where direct memory reclamation was triggered due to kswapd
not running.
1. When applications start up, rapidly consume memory, or experience
network traffic bursts, the kernel reaches steal_suitable_fallback(),
which sets watermark_boost and subsequently wakes kswapd.
2. In the core logic of kswapd thread (balance_pgdat()), when reclaim is
triggered by watermark_boost, the maximum priority is 10. Higher
priority values mean less aggressive LRU scanning, which can result in
no pages being reclaimed during a single scan cycle:
if (nr_boost_reclaim && sc.priority == DEF_PRIORITY - 2)
raise_priority = false;
3. Additionally, many of our pods are configured with memory.low, which
prevents memory reclamation in certain cgroups, further increasing the
chance of failing to reclaim memory.
4. This eventually causes pgdat->kswapd_failures to continuously
accumulate, exceeding MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES, and consequently kswapd
stops working. At this point, the system's available memory is still
significantly above the high watermark -- it's inappropriate for kswapd
to stop under these conditions.
The final observable issue is that a brief period of rapid memory
allocation causes kswapd to stop running, ultimately triggering direct
reclaim and making the applications unresponsive.
This problem leading to direct memory reclamation has been a
long-standing issue in our production environment. We initially held
the simple assumption that it was caused by applications allocating
memory too rapidly for kswapd to keep up with reclamation. However,
after we began monitoring kswapd's runtime behavior, we discovered a
different pattern:
kswapd initially exhibits very aggressive activity even when there is
still considerable free memory, but it subsequently stops running
entirely, even as memory levels approach the low watermark.
In summary, both boosted watermarks and memory.low increase the
probability of kswapd operation failures.
This patch specifically addresses the scenario involving boosted
watermarks by not incrementing kswapd_failures when reclamation fails.
A more general solution, potentially addressing memory.low or other
cases, requires further discussion.

KVM guest_memfd changes for 6.19:
- Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety of
rough edges in guest_memfd along the way.
- Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a guest_memfd
from a memslot to make it harder to leak references.
- Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug selftests like
those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where test and/or KVM bugs
often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors.
- Misc cleanups.

freelist_counters as it doesn't meet any criteria for being a typedef,

Merge series "Prepare slab for memdescs" by Matthew Wilcox.
From the cover letter [1]:
When we separate struct folio, struct page and struct slab from each
other, converting to folios then to slabs will be nonsense. It made
sense under the 'folio is just a head page' interpretation, but with
full separation, page_folio() will return NULL for a page which belongs
to a slab.
This patch series removes almost all mentions of folio from slab.
There are a few folio_test_slab() invocations left around the tree that
I haven't decided how to handle yet. We're not yet quite at the point
of separately allocating struct slab, but that's what I'll be working
on next.

In a recent commit, I inadvertently changed a comparison from being an
unsigned comparison (on 64-bit systems) to being a signed comparison
(which it had always been on 32-bit systems). This led to a sporadic
fstests failure.
To make sure this comparison is always unsigned, introduce a new type,
uoff_t which is the unsigned version of loff_t. Generally file sizes
are restricted to being a signed integer, but in these two places it is
convenient to pass -1 to indicate "up to the end of the file".

Patch series "mm: swap: small fixes and comment cleanups", v2.
This series provides a few small fixes and cleanups for the swap code.
The first patch fixes a memory leak in an error path that was recently
introduced. The subsequent patches include minor logic adjustments and
the removal of redundant comments.
This patch (of 5):
setup_clusters() could leak 'cluster_info' memory if an error occurred on
a path that did not jump to the 'err_free' label.
This patch simplifies the error handling by removing the goto label and
instead calling free_cluster_info() on all error exit paths.
The new logic is safe, as free_cluster_info() already handles NULL pointer
inputs.

unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource. This patch
adds a macro API pgtable_supports_uffd_wp() that allows architectures to

Also this patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and
"ifdef CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of pgtable_supports_uffd_wp()
and uffd_supports_wp_marker() checks respectively that default to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP) and
"IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP) &&
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP)" if not overridden by the
architecture, no change in behavior is expected.

CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of checks which if not overridden by
the architecture, no change in behavior is expected.
This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty,
madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass, and
no regressions are observed in any of the other tests.
This patch (of 6):
Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it
unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource.
Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations
to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is
running.
This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of
pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by the architecture,
no change in behavior is expected.
We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(),
so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.

The only caller, vb_alloc(), passes GFP_KERNEL into new_vmap_block() which
is a subset of GFP_RECLAIM_MASK. Since there's no reason to use this mask
here, remove it.

Now that we have already checked for unsupported flags, we can use the
helper function to set the necessary gfp flags for the large order
allocation optimization.

vm_area_alloc_pages() attempts to use different gfp flags as a way to
optimize allocations. This has been done inline which makes things harder
to read.
Add a helper function to make the code more readable.

Patch series "make vmalloc gfp flags usage more apparent", v4.
We should do a better job at enforcing gfp flags for vmalloc. Right now,
we have a kernel-doc for __vmalloc_node_range(), and hope callers pass in
supported flags. If a caller were to pass in an unsupported flag, we may
BUG, silently clear it, or completely ignore it.
If we are more proactive about enforcing gfp flags, we can making sure
callers know when they may be asking for unsupported behavior.
This patchset lets vmalloc control the incoming gfp flags, and cleans up
some hard to read gfp code.
This patch (of 4):
Vmalloc explicitly supports a list of flags, but we never enforce them.
vmalloc has been trying to handle unsupported flags by clearing and
setting flags wherever necessary. This is messy and makes the code harder
to understand, when we could simply check for a supported input
immediately instead.
Define a helper mask and function telling callers they have passed in
invalid flags, and clear those unsupported vmalloc flags.

__lruvec_stat_mod_folio() is already safe against irqs, so there is no
need to have a separate interface (i.e. lruvec_stat_mod_folio) which
wraps calls to it with irq disabling and reenabling. Let's rename
__lruvec_stat_mod_folio() to lruvec_stat_mod_folio().
