Commit 6e9f05dc66f9 ("libnvdimm/pfn_dev: increase MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE")

...updated MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE to account for sizeof(struct page)
potentially doubling in the case of CONFIG_KMSAN=y. Unfortunately this
doubles the amount of capacity stolen from user addressable capacity for
everyone, regardless of whether they are using the debug option. Revert
that change, mandate that MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE never exceed 64, but
allow for debug scenarios to proceed with creating debug sized page maps
with a compile option to support debug scenarios.

Note that this only applies to cases where the page map is permanent,
i.e. stored in a reservation of the pmem itself ("--map=dev" in "ndctl
create-namespace" terms). For the "--map=mem" case, since the allocation
is ephemeral for the lifespan of the namespace, there are no explicit
restriction. However, the implicit restriction, of having enough
available "System RAM" to store the page map for the typically large
pmem, still applies.

<title>nvdimm/region: Move cache management to the region driver</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() is generically available, use
it to centralize CPU cache management in the nvdimm region driver.

This trades off removing redundant per-dimm CPU cache flushing with an
opportunistic flush on every region disable event to cover the case of
sensitive dirty data in the cache being written back to media after a
secure erase / overwrite event.

<title>libnvdimm: Introduce CONFIG_NVDIMM_SECURITY_TEST flag</title>

nfit_test overrode the security_show() sysfs attribute function in nvdimm
dimm_devs in order to allow testing of security unlock. With the
introduction of CXL security commands, the trick to override
security_show() becomes significantly more complicated. By introdcing a
security flag CONFIG_NVDIMM_SECURITY_TEST, libnvdimm can just toggle the
check via a compile option. In addition the original override can can be
removed from tools/testing/nvdimm/.

The flag will also be used to bypass cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() when
set in a different commit. This allows testing on QEMU with nfit_test or
cxl_test since cpu_cache_has_invalidate_memregion() checks whether
X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR cpu feature flag is set on x86.

The original nvdimm_security_ops -&gt;disable() only supports user passphrase
for security disable. The CXL spec introduced the disabling of master
passphrase. Add a -&gt;disable_master() callback to support this new operation
and leaving the old -&gt;disable() mechanism alone. A "disable_master" command
is added for the sysfs attribute in order to allow command to be issued
from userspace. ndctl will need enabling in order to utilize this new
operation.

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

KMSAN adds extra metadata fields to struct page, so it does not fit into
64 bytes anymore.

This change leads to increased memory consumption of the nvdimm driver,
regardless of whether the kernel is built with KMSAN or not.

KMSAN adds extra metadata fields to struct page, so it does not fit into
64 bytes anymore.

This change leads to increased memory consumption of the nvdimm driver,
regardless of whether the kernel is built with KMSAN or not.

<title>libnvdimm/region: Allow setting align attribute on regions without mappings</title>

The alignment constraint for namespace creation in a region was
increased, from 2M to 16M, for non-PowerPC architectures in v5.7 with
commit 2522afb86a8c ("libnvdimm/region: Introduce an 'align'
attribute"). The thought behind the change was that region alignment
should be uniform across all architectures and, since PowerPC had the
largest alignment constraint of 16M, all architectures should conform to
that alignment.

The change regressed namespace creation in pre-defined regions that
relied on 2M alignment but a workaround was provided in the form of a
sysfs attribute, named 'align', that could be adjusted to a non-default
alignment value.

However, the sysfs attribute's store function returned an error (-ENXIO)
when userspace attempted to change the alignment of a region that had no
mappings. This affected 2M aligned regions of volatile memory that were
defined in a device tree using "pmem-region" and created by the
of_pmem_region_driver, since those regions do not contain mappings
(ndr_mappings is 0).

Allow userspace to set the align attribute on pre-existing regions that
do not have mappings so that namespaces can still be within those
regions, despite not being aligned to 16M.
