Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
   (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
   to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
   file-backed memory.

   Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
   conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
   improvements.

 - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
   (Baolin Wang)

   Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
   reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
   executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
   code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
   performance.

 - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
   Chen)

   Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
   parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
   sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
   proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.

 - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
   scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)

   Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
   scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
   producer updates.

   Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
   dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
   60% without impacting scan throughput.

 - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.

 - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
   memcg" (Zi Yan)

   Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
   splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
   node memory accounting.

 - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)

   Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
   generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
   files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.

 - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
   mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.

 - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
   Huang)

   Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
   cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
   algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
   reinitialization.

 - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)

   Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
   moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
   writeback_store() and read_block_state().

 - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)

   Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
   and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.

 - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
   (Muhammad Usama Anjum)

   Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
   required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
   retry logic for transient page migration errors.

 - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)

   Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
   and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
   writeback efficiency.

 - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
   profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
   aggregation.

   This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
   provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
   data to userspace.

 - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
   (Christoph Hellwig)

   Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
   single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
   faster swap throughput during kernel builds.

 - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
   (Catalin Marinas)

   Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
   enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
   minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.

 - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
   (Breno Leitao)

   Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
   on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
   CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
   confirming scan.

 - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)

   Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
   regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
   overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
   writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
   export their own swap_ops.

 - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)

   khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
   comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
   PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
   documentation.

 - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)

   Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
   locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
   without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.

   Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation
   edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to
   GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL.

<title>shmem: provide a shmem_write_folio wrapper</title>

Patch series "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops
v5".

This series makes use of the swap_iocb for block as well so that it
doesn't do inefficient single-bio I/O, and then rebases the swap_ops from
Baoquan on top of the now very different method structure.

When running doing kernels builds, which is a workload that doesn't really
do much THP anonymous memory it still gets 2x clustering for writeout and
1.2x for reading back swap in.  The overall times do not actually change,
though.


This patch (of 7):

Provide a wrapper for the shmem abuses in drm to prepare for swap I/O
refactoring by keeping swap_iocb handling entirely contained in mm/.

<title>mm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()</title>

<id>51943a18ad4bd6ff8baea2da7b8cce2f86f1a959</id>
<content type='text'>
All remaining callers of is_cow_mapping() are invoking it in the form of
is_cow_mapping(vma-&gt;vm_flags) or an indirected version of this.

Therefore, provide a helper - vma_is_cow_mapping() to directly test the
VMA.

Additionally provide a new helper vma_flags_is_cow_mapping() which
performs the check using the new vma_flags_t type, and share this logic
between vma_is_cow_mapping() and vma_desc_is_cow_mapping().

With these changes, no callers of is_cow_mapping() remain, so remove it.

Also update the userland VMA tests to reflect the change.

No functional change intended.

<title>drm/ttm: Hook up a cgroup-aware reclaim callback for the dmem controller</title>

<content type='text'>
Add ttm_bo_evict_cgroup() to evict buffer objects charged to a specific
dmem cgroup pool from a resource manager's LRU until a byte target is
met.  Add ttm_resource_manager_set_dmem_region() to associate a dmem
cgroup region with a resource manager; drivers supply their own
dmem_cgroup_ops with ttm_resource_manager_dmem_reclaim as the reclaim
function and the manager pointer as reclaim_priv in the dmem_cgroup_init
to wire up TTM eviction as the reclaim callback.

The eviction context is interruptible; signals abort the operation and
propagate back through the write() syscall.

Introduce a new mode for the bo LRU walker so that sleeping locks
can be taken. This can be used when the caller doesn't hold any
previous dma_resv locks, and where it intends to hold at most
one lock at a time.

Like the rest of the TTM eviction this should sooner than later
be converted to full WW transactions.

v3:
- Fix ttm_resource_manager_set_dmem_region() storing an error pointer
  in man-&gt;cg unconditionally. (Sashiko-bot)
- Fix kernel-doc function name format for ttm_bo_evict_cgroup() and
  ttm_resource_manager_set_dmem_region().

v5:
- Rebased on the introduction of struct dmem_cgroup_init.
- Handle NULL region in ttm_resource_manager_set_dmem_region() to clear
  the reclaim callback, preventing use-after-free when the manager is
  torn down while the dmem region outlives it. (Sashiko-bot)
- Return 0 on any progress (even partial eviction), -ENOSPC only when
  nothing was freed; fixes callers that expected 0 on partial success.
- Document that the reclaim callback should return 0 if some progress
  was made, -ENOSPC if no progress at all, or another error for fatal
  failures.

v8:
- Fix ttm_resource_manager_set_dmem_region() using IS_ERR_OR_NULL(),
  which skipped the assignment for a NULL region and thus never
  cleared man-&gt;cg. Use IS_ERR() so that a NULL region detaches the
  region as the kernel-doc and the v5 changelog intended. (Sashiko-bot)

v9:
- Don't leak cgroup charges for bos that may have survived dmemcg
  region fini.
- Drop the misleading "Capture size before eviction in case res is
  cleared" comment in ttm_bo_evict_cb(). (Maarten Lankhorst)

<title>drm/ttm: Use common ancestor of evictor and evictee as limit pool</title>

<content type='text'>
When checking whether to skip certain buffers because they're protected
by dmem.low, we're checking the effective protection of the evictee's
cgroup, but depending on how the evictor's cgroup relates to the
evictee's, the semantics of effective protection values change.

When testing against cgroups from different subtrees, page_counter's
recursive protection propagates memory protection afforded to a parent
down to the child cgroups, even if the children were not explicitly
protected. This prevents cgroups whose parents were afforded no
protection from stealing memory from cgroups whose parents were afforded
more protection, without users having to explicitly propagate this
protection.

However, if we always calculate protection from the root cgroup, this
breaks prioritization of sibling cgroups: If one cgroup was explicitly
protected and its siblings were not, the protected cgroup should get
higher priority, i.e. the protected cgroup should be able to steal from
unprotected siblings. This only works if we restrict the protection
calculation to the subtree shared by evictor and evictee.

When the cgroup's memory usage is below the low/min limit and allocation
fails, try evicting some unprotected buffers to make space. Otherwise,
application buffers may be forced to go into GTT even though usage is
below the corresponding low/min limit, if other applications filled VRAM
with their allocations first.

<title>drm/ttm: Split cgroup charge and resource allocation</title>

<content type='text'>
Coupling resource allocation and cgroup charging is racy when charging
succeeds, but subsequent resource allocation fails. Certain eviction
decisions are made on the basis of whether the allocating cgroup is
protected, i.e. within its min/low limits, but with the charge being
tied to resource allocation (and uncharged when the resource allocation
fails), this check is done at a point where the allocation is not actually
charged to the cgroup.

This is subtly wrong if the allocation were to cause the cgroup to exceed
the min/low protection, but it's even more wrong if the same cgroup tries
allocating multiple buffers concurrently: In this case, the min/low
protection may pass for all allocation attempts when the real min/low
protection covers only some, or potentially none of the allocated
buffers.

Instead, charge the allocation to the cgroup once and keep the charge
for as long as we try to allocate a ttm_resource, and only undo the charge
if allocating the resource is ultimately unsuccessful and we move on to
a different ttm_place.

<title>drm/ttm: Extract code for attempting allocation in a place</title>

<content type='text'>
Move all code for attempting allocation for a specific place to
ttm_bo_alloc_place. With subsequent patches, this logic is going to get
more complicated, so it helps readability to have this separate.

ttm_bo_alloc_at_place takes a pointer to a struct ttm_bo_alloc_state.
This struct holds various state produced by the allocation (e.g. cgroup
resource associated with the allocation) that the caller needs to keep
track of (and potentially dispose of). This is just the limiting cgroup
pool for now, but future patches will add more state needing to be tracked.

ttm_bo_alloc_at_place also communicates via return codes if eviction
using ttm_bo_evict_alloc should be attempted. This is preparation for
attempting eviction in more cases than just force_space being set.

No functional change intended.
