In s390, the page-&gt;index field is used for gmap (see gmap_shadow_pgt()),
so add the corresponding pt_index to struct ptdesc and add a comment to
clarify this.

Patch series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc".

In this series, the [PATCH 1/3] and [PATCH 2/3] are fixes for some issues
discovered during code inspection.

The [PATCH 3/3] is a supplement to ptdesc conversion in s390, I don't know
why this is not done in the commit 6326c26c1514 ("s390: convert various
pgalloc functions to use ptdescs"), maybe I missed something.  And since I
don't have an s390 environment, I hope kernel test robot can help compile
and test, and this is why I did not fold [PATCH 2/3] and [PATCH 3/3] into
one patch.


This patch (of 3):

The commit 32cc0b7c9d50 ("powerpc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables
sharing page") introduced the use of PageActive flag to page table
fragments tracking, so the ptdesc-&gt;__page_flags is not unused, so correct
the wrong comment.

<title>mm/mmu_gather: add __tlb_remove_folio_pages()</title>

<id>d7f861b9c43aadbe384ab1382d2e76750bedc91e</id>
<content type='text'>
Add __tlb_remove_folio_pages(), which will remove multiple consecutive
pages that belong to the same large folio, instead of only a single page. 
We'll be using this function when optimizing unmapping/zapping of large
folios that are mapped by PTEs.

We're using the remaining spare bit in an encoded_page to indicate that
the next enoced page in an array contains actually shifted "nr_pages". 
Teach swap/freeing code about putting multiple folio references, and
delayed rmap handling to remove page ranges of a folio.

This extension allows for still gathering almost as many small folios as
we used to (-1, because we have to prepare for a possibly bigger next
entry), but still allows for gathering consecutive pages that belong to
the same large folio.

Note that we don't pass the folio pointer, because it is not required for
now.  Further, we don't support page_size != PAGE_SIZE, it won't be
required for simple PTE batching.

We have to provide a separate s390 implementation, but it's fairly
straight forward.

Another, more invasive and likely more expensive, approach would be to use
folio+range or a PFN range instead of page+nr_pages.  But, we should do
that consistently for the whole mmu_gather.  For now, let's keep it simple
and add "nr_pages" only.

Note that it is now possible to gather significantly more pages: In the
past, we were able to gather ~10000 pages, now we can also gather ~5000
folio fragments that span multiple pages.  A folio fragment on x86-64 can
span up to 512 pages (2 MiB THP) and on arm64 with 64k in theory 8192
pages (512 MiB THP).  Gathering more memory is not considered something we
should worry about, especially because these are already corner cases.

While we can gather more total memory, we won't free more folio fragments.
As long as page freeing time primarily only depends on the number of
involved folios, there is no effective change for !preempt configurations.
However, we'll adjust tlb_batch_pages_flush() separately to handle corner
cases where page freeing time grows proportionally with the actual memory
size.

<title>mm/mmu_gather: define ENCODED_PAGE_FLAG_DELAY_RMAP</title>

Nowadays, encoded pages are only used in mmu_gather handling.  Let's
update the documentation, and define ENCODED_PAGE_BIT_DELAY_RMAP.  While
at it, rename ENCODE_PAGE_BITS to ENCODED_PAGE_BITS.

If encoded page pointers would ever be used in other context again, we'd
likely want to change the defines to reflect their context (e.g.,
ENCODED_PAGE_FLAG_MMU_GATHER_DELAY_RMAP).  For now, let's keep it simple.

This is a preparation for using the remaining spare bit to indicate that
the next item in an array of encoded pages is a "nr_pages" argument and
not an encoded page.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
  reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
  self-tests.

  Core &amp; protocols:

   - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
     netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
     time warnings to safeguard against future header changes

     This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
     to 40%

   - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
     usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
     possible leaks

   - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
     source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
     lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
     connections to the same destination

   - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
     structs

   - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
     arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF

   - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
     128KB and namespecifying it

   - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
     RX performances with some common configurations

   - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time

   - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
     request the deletion of matching entries

   - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
     datapath first

   - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
     multicast-like behavior at the TC layer

   - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
     classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)

   - More data-race annotations

   - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets

   - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions

   - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
     a sub-network using a specific PAN ID

   - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support

   - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type

  BPF:

   - Tons of verifier improvements:
       - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
         test suite
       - log improvements
       - complete precision tracking support for register spills
       - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
         This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
         single digit to 50-60% for some programs
       - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
         commonly requested annotations for a better developer
         experience
       - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
         transforms (unsigned) "a &gt; 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
         like
       - several fixes

   - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
     mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
     now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload

   - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
     kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
     BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y

   - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
     instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
     guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques

   - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs

   - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
     within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
     identified by its id

   - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
     field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
     sched_ext

   - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
     integration for the latter

   - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints

   - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
     developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)

  Misc:

   - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution

   - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage

   - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
     undocumented features

   - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
     random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs

   - Add TCP-AO self-tests

   - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211

   - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec

   - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
     can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
     which we have specs

   - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes

   - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool

  Driver API:

   - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
     full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
     in rust

   - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
     allowing complete access to the device &lt;&gt; NAPIs &lt;&gt; queues
     relationship

   - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
     application scale to thousands of instances

   - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for
     each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host

   - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash

   - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD
     platform

     netlink attribute

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series

	'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
	'Some cleanups of maple tree'

   - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
     Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
     and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
     have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
     in the patch series

	'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
	'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
	'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
	'Convert aops-&gt;error_remove_page to -&gt;error_remove_folio'
	'Finish two folio conversions'
	'More swap folio conversions'

   - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series

	'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'

   - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
     'tweak kmemleak report format'.

   - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
     Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
     of no longer needed stack traces.

   - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
     allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
     page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.

   - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
     for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
     'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.

   - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
     'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.

   - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
     'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.

   - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
     series

	'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
	'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
	'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'

   - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
     memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.

   - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
     has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
     improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
     anonymous page faults.

   - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
     work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
     cleanups'.

   - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
     'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
     compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
     UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.

   - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
     Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
     aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.

   - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
     in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback
     code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the
     writeback paths'.

   - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free
     stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan:
     save mempool stack traces'.

   - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
     'kasan: assorted clean-ups'.

   - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more
     pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap:
     interface overhaul'.

   - Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code
     in the series 'mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code cleanups
     in the series 'Remove some lruvec page accounting functions'"

Add CONFIG_LRU_GEN_WALKS_MMU such that if disabled, the code that
walks page tables to promote pages into the youngest generation will
not be built.

Also improves code readability by adding two helper functions
get_mm_state() and get_next_mm().

<title>page_pool: transition to reference count management after page draining</title>

<content type='text'>
To support multiple users referencing the same fragment,
'pp_frag_count' is renamed to 'pp_ref_count', transitioning pp pages
from fragment management to reference count management after draining
based on the suggestion from [1].

The idea is that the concept of fragmenting exists before the page is
drained, and all related functions retain their current names.
However, once the page is drained, its management shifts to being
governed by 'pp_ref_count'. Therefore, all functions associated with
that lifecycle stage of a pp page are renamed.
