The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments.

"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer.

"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core & protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

   - Don't require rtnl_lock when fetching an IPv6 neighbor over Netlink

   - Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid"), which cedes refresh
     responsibilities to userspace. This is needed for EVPN multi-homing
     where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed host needs to be synced
     across all the VTEPs among which the host is multi-homed

   - Support NUD_PERMANENT for proxy neighbor entries

   - Add a new queuing discipline for IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM

   - Add sequence numbers to netconsole messages. Unregister
     netconsole's console when all net targets are removed. Code
     refactoring. Add a number of selftests

   - Align IPSec inbound SA lookup to RFC 4301. Only SPI and protocol
     should be used for an inbound SA lookup

   - Support inspecting ref_tracker state via DebugFS

   - Don't force bonding advertisement frames tx to ~333 ms boundaries.
     Add broadcast_neighbor option to send ARP/ND on all bonded links

   - Allow providing upcall pid for the 'execute' command in openvswitch

   - Remove DCCP support from Netfilter's conntrack

   - Disallow multiple packet duplications in the queuing layer

   - Prevent use of deprecated iptables code on PREEMPT_RT

  Driver API:

   - Support RSS and hashing configuration over ethtool Netlink

   - Add dedicated ethtool callbacks for getting and setting hashing
     fields

   - Add support for power budget evaluation strategy in PSE /
     Power-over-Ethernet. Generate Netlink events for overcurrent etc

   - Support DPLL phase offset monitoring across all device inputs.
     Support providing clock reference and SYNC over separate DPLL
     inputs

   - Support traffic classes in devlink rate API for bandwidth
     management

   - Remove rtnl_lock dependency from UDP tunnel port configuration

ibmveth: Add multi buffers rx replenishment hcall support 2025-07-22T13:08:23+00:00 Mingming Cao mmc@linux.ibm.com 2025-07-19T09:13:56+00:00 2094200b5f77e6710f9594571889f64f31966de1 This patch enables batched RX buffer replenishment in ibmveth by using the new firmware-supported h_add_logical_lan_buffers() hcall to submit up to 8 RX buffers in a single call, instead of repeatedly calling the single-buffer h_add_logical_lan_buffer() hcall. During the probe, with the patch, the driver queries ILLAN attributes to detect IBMVETH_ILLAN_RX_MULTI_BUFF_SUPPORT bit. If the attribute is present, rx_buffers_per_hcall is set to 8, enabling batched replenishment. Otherwise, it defaults to 1, preserving the original upstream behavior with no change in code flow for unsupported systems. The core rx replenish logic remains the same. But when batching is enabled, the driver aggregates up to 8 fully prepared descriptors into a single h_add_logical_lan_buffers() hypercall. If any allocation or DMA mapping fails while preparing a batch, only the successfully prepared buffers are submitted, and the remaining are deferred for the next replenish cycle. If at runtime the firmware stops accepting the batched hcall—e,g, after a Live Partition Migration (LPM) to a host that does not support h_add_logical_lan_buffers(), the hypercall returns H_FUNCTION. In that case, the driver transparently disables batching, resets rx_buffers_per_hcall to 1, and falls back to the single-buffer hcall in next future replenishments to take care of these and future buffers. Test were done on systems with firmware that both supports and does not support the new h_add_logical_lan_buffers hcall. On supported firmware, this reduces hypercall overhead significantly over multiple buffers. SAR measurements showed about a 15% improvement in packet processing rate under moderate RX load, with heavier traffic seeing gains more than 30% Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <mmc@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Brian King <bjking1@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Haren Myneni <haren@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Dave Marquardt <davemarq@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250719091356.57252-1-mmc@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

calling the single-buffer h_add_logical_lan_buffer() hcall.

During the probe, with the patch, the driver queries ILLAN attributes
to detect IBMVETH_ILLAN_RX_MULTI_BUFF_SUPPORT bit. If the attribute is
present, rx_buffers_per_hcall is set to 8, enabling batched replenishment.
Otherwise, it defaults to 1, preserving the original upstream behavior
 with no change in code flow for unsupported systems.

The core rx replenish logic remains the same. But when batching
is enabled, the driver aggregates up to 8 fully prepared descriptors
into a single h_add_logical_lan_buffers() hypercall. If any allocation
or DMA mapping fails while preparing a batch, only the successfully
prepared buffers are submitted, and the remaining are deferred for
the next replenish cycle.

If at runtime the firmware stops accepting the batched hcall—e,g,
after a Live Partition Migration (LPM) to a host that does not
support h_add_logical_lan_buffers(), the hypercall returns H_FUNCTION.
In that case, the driver transparently disables batching, resets
rx_buffers_per_hcall to 1, and falls back to the single-buffer hcall
in next future replenishments to take care of these and future buffers.

Test were done on systems with firmware that both supports and
does not support the new h_add_logical_lan_buffers hcall.

On supported firmware, this reduces hypercall overhead significantly
over multiple buffers. SAR measurements showed about a 15% improvement
in packet processing rate under moderate RX load, with heavier traffic
seeing gains more than 30%
