<title>mm/ksm: fix ksm_zero_pages accounting</title>

We normally ksm_zero_pages++ in ksmd when page is merged with zero page,
but ksm_zero_pages-- is done from page tables side, where there is no any
accessing protection of ksm_zero_pages.

So we can read very exceptional value of ksm_zero_pages in rare cases,
such as -1, which is very confusing to users.

Fix it by changing to use atomic_long_t, and the same case with the
mm-&gt;ksm_zero_pages.

After switching smaps_rollup to use VMA iterator, searching for next entry
is part of the condition expression of the do-while loop.  So the current
VMA needs to be addressed before the continue statement.

Otherwise, with some VMAs skipped, userspace observed memory
consumption from /proc/pid/smaps_rollup will be smaller than the sum of
the corresponding fields from /proc/pid/smaps.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

   - Vlastimil Babka has contributed maintainability improvements in the
     series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring".

   - More folio conversions and cleanups in Matthew Wilcox's series:
	"Convert huge_zero_page to huge_zero_folio"
	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

   - Cleanups to vma handling helper functions from Matthew Wilcox in
     the series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address".

   - Some selftests maintenance work from Dev Jain in the series
     "selftests/mm: mremap_test: Optimizations and style fixes".

   - Improvements to the swapping of multi-size THPs from Ryan Roberts
     in the series "Swap-out mTHP without splitting".

   - Kefeng Wang has significantly optimized the handling of arm64's
     permission page faults in the series
	"arch/mm/fault: accelerate pagefault when badaccess"
	"mm: remove arch's private VM_FAULT_BADMAP/BADACCESS"

   - GUP cleanups from David Hildenbrand in "mm/gup: consistently call
     it GUP-fast".

   - hugetlb fault code cleanups from Vishal Moola in "Hugetlb fault
     path to use struct vm_fault".

   - selftests build fixes from John Hubbard in the series "Fix
     selftests/mm build without requiring "make headers"".

   - Memory tiering fixes/improvements from Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang in the
     series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes".
     Fixes the initialization code so that migration between different
     memory types works as intended.

   - David Hildenbrand has improved follow_pte() and fixed an errant
     driver in the series "mm: follow_pte() improvements and acrn
     follow_pte() fixes".

   - David also did some cleanup work on large folio mapcounts in his
     series "mm: mapcount for large folios + page_mapcount() cleanups".

   - Folio conversions in KSM in Alex Shi's series "transfer page to
     folio in KSM".

   - Barry Song has added some sysfs stats for monitoring multi-size
     THP's in the series "mm: add per-order mTHP alloc and swpout
     counters".

   - Some zswap cleanups from Yosry Ahmed in the series "zswap
     same-filled and limit checking cleanups".

   - Matthew Wilcox has been looking at buffer_head code and found the
     documentation to be lacking. The series is "Improve buffer head
     documentation".

   - Multi-size THPs get more work, this time from Lance Yang. His
     series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free"
     optimizes the freeing of these things.

   - Kemeng Shi has added more userspace-visible writeback
     instrumentation in the series "Improve visibility of writeback".

   - Kemeng Shi then sent some maintenance work on top in the series
     "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback".

   - Matthew Wilcox reduces mmap_lock traffic in the anon vma code in
     the series "Improve anon_vma scalability for anon VMAs". Intel's
     test bot reported an improbable 3x improvement in one test.

   - SeongJae Park adds some DAMON feature work in the series
	"mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck"
	"selftests/damon: add DAMOS quota goal test"

   - Also some maintenance work in the series
	"mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for pageout"
	"mm/damon: misc fixes and improvements"

   - David Hildenbrand has disabled some known-to-fail selftests ni the
     series "selftests: mm: cow: flag vmsplice() hugetlb tests as
     XFAIL".

   - memcg metadata storage optimizations from Shakeel Butt in "memcg:
     reduce memory consumption by memcg stats".

   - DAX fixes and maintenance work from Vishal Verma in the series
     "dax/bus.c: Fixups for dax-bus locking""

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

   - Baoquan has also redone some MM initializatio code in the series
     "mm/init: minor clean up and improvement".

   - MM helper cleanups from Christoph Hellwig in his series "remove
     follow_pfn".

   - More cleanups from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Various
     page-&gt;flags cleanups".

	"khugepaged folio conversions"
	"Remove page_idle and page_young wrappers"
	"Use folio APIs in procfs"
	"Clean up __folio_put()"
	"Some cleanups for memory-failure"
	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:

 - Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*

   Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
   and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
   net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
   through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
   likely place where the final series that removes the check for
   proc_name == NULL will land.

   This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.

 - Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
     - Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
     - Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
     - Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure

   Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
   keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
   ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
   that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
   Weißschuh.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual fses.

  Features:

   - Free up FMODE_* bits. I've freed up bits 6, 7, 8, and 24. That
     means we now have six free FMODE_* bits in total (but bit #6
     already got used for FMODE_WRITE_RESTRICTED)

   - Add FOP_HUGE_PAGES flag (follow-up to FMODE_* cleanup)

   - Add fd_raw cleanup class so we can make use of automatic cleanup
     provided by CLASS(fd_raw, f)(fd) for O_PATH fds as well

   - Optimize seq_puts()

   - Simplify __seq_puts()

   - Add new anon_inode_getfile_fmode() api to allow specifying f_mode
     instead of open-coding it in multiple places

   - Annotate struct file_handle with __counted_by() and use
     struct_size()

   - Warn in get_file() whether f_count resurrection from zero is
     attempted (epoll/drm discussion)

   - Folio-sophize aio

   - Export the subvolume id in statx() for both btrfs and bcachefs

   - Relax linkat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) requirements

   - Add F_DUPFD_QUERY fcntl() allowing to compare two file descriptors
     for dup*() equality replacing kcmp()

  Cleanups:

   - Compile out swapfile inode checks when swap isn't enabled

   - Use (1 &lt;&lt; n) notation for FMODE_* bitshifts for clarity

   - Remove redundant variable assignment in fs/direct-io

   - Cleanup uses of strncpy in orangefs

   - Speed up and cleanup writeback

   - Move fsparam_string_empty() helper into header since it's currently
     open-coded in multiple places

   - Add kernel-doc comments to proc_create_net_data_write()

   - Don't needlessly read dentry-&gt;d_flags twice

  Fixes:

   - Fix out-of-range warning in nilfs2

   - Fix ecryptfs overflow due to wrong encryption packet size
     calculation

   - Fix overly long line in xfs file_operations (follow-up to FMODE_*
     cleanup)

   - Don't raise FOP_BUFFER_{R,W}ASYNC for directories in xfs (follow-up
     to FMODE_* cleanup)

   - Don't call xfs_file_open from xfs_dir_open (follow-up to FMODE_*
     cleanup)

   - Fix stable offset api to prevent endless loops

   - Fix afs file server rotations

   - Prevent xattr node from overflowing the eraseblock in jffs2

While taking a kernel core dump with makedumpfile on a larger system,
softlockup messages often appear.

While softlockup warnings can be harmless, they can also interfere with
things like RCU freeing memory, which can be problematic when the kdump
kexec image is configured with as little memory as possible.

Avoid the softlockup, and give things like work items and RCU a chance to
do their thing during __read_vmcore by adding a cond_resched.
