<title>include/linux/mm.h: move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h</title>

<content type='text'>
nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h.
The advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete
includes.  For example, net/ipv4/tcp.c wouldn't need swap.h any more
since it has already included mm.h.  Similarly, after checking all the
other files, it comes that tcp.c, udp.c meter.c ,...  follow the same
rule, so these files can have swap.h removed too.

Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use
nr_free_buffer_pages, it turns out that those files have already
included mm.h.Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h
safely.  This change will not affect the compilation of other files.

<title>memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node()</title>

<content type='text'>
We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory.  Let's prepare to pass
flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users.

Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running
and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're
hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory
regions to place kexec images.  It's important to add the memory
directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of
adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent
memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong
flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a
new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

When initializing transparent huge pages, min_free_kbytes would be
calculated according to what khugepaged expected.

So when transparent huge pages get disabled, min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated instead of the higher value set by khugepaged.

<title>mm: add zap_skip_check_mapping() helper</title>

<id>91b61ef333cf43f96b3522a086c9ac925763d6e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Use the helper for the checks.  Rename "check_mapping" into
"zap_mapping" because "check_mapping" looks like a bool but in fact it
stores the mapping itself.  When it's set, we check the mapping (it must
be non-NULL).  When it's cleared we skip the check, which works like the
old way.

Move the duplicated comments to the helper too.

The first_index/last_index parameters in zap_details are actually only
used in unmap_mapping_range_tree().  At the meantime, this function is
only called by unmap_mapping_pages() once.

Instead of passing these two variables through the whole stack of page
zapping code, remove them from zap_details and let them simply be
parameters of unmap_mapping_range_tree(), which is inlined.

<title>mm: move kvmalloc-related functions to slab.h</title>

<content type='text'>
Not all files in the kernel should include mm.h.  Migrating callers from
kmalloc to kvmalloc is easier if the kvmalloc functions are in slab.h.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: move the new kvrealloc() also]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: drivers/hwmon/occ/p9_sbe.c needs slab.h]

Not all files in the kernel should include mm.h.  Migrating callers from
kmalloc to kvmalloc is easier if the kvmalloc functions are in slab.h.

Pull gfs2 mmap + page fault deadlocks fixes from Andreas Gruenbacher:
 "Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
  accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
  inode glock.

  In the most basic deadlock scenario, that buffer will not be resident
  and it will be mapped to the same file. Accessing the buffer will
  trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the same
  inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.

  Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
  while accessing user buffers. To make this work, introduce a small
  amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
  far, with page faults enabled"

Introduce a new FOLL_NOFAULT flag that causes get_user_pages to return
-EFAULT when it would otherwise trigger a page fault.  This is roughly
similar to FOLL_FAST_ONLY but available on all architectures, and less
fragile.

Transform write_one_page() into folio_write_one() and add a compatibility
wrapper.  Also move the declaration to pagemap.h as this is page cache
functionality that doesn't need to be used by the rest of the kernel.

Saves 58 bytes of kernel text.  While folio_write_one() is 101 bytes
smaller than write_one_page(), the inlined call to page_folio() expands
each caller.  There are fewer than ten callers so it doesn't seem worth
putting a wrapper in the core.
