Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:

 - Subvolume children btree; this is needed for providing a userspace
   interface for walking subvolumes, which will come later

 - Lots of improvements to directory structure checking

 - Improved journal pipelining, significantly improving performance on
   high iodepth write workloads

 - Discard path improvements: the discard path is more efficient, and no
   longer flushes the journal unnecessarily

 - Buffered write path can now avoid taking the inode lock

 - new mm helper: memalloc_flags_{save|restore}

 - mempool now does kvmalloc mempools

Our proliferation of memalloc_*_{save,restore} APIs is getting a bit
silly, this adds a generic version and converts the existing
save/restore functions to wrappers.

<title>mm: document memalloc_noreclaim_save() and memalloc_pin_save()</title>

<id>cfb837e8433179995709578ca5b4741adcd54ec7</id>
<content type='text'>
The memalloc_noreclaim_save() function currently has no documentation
comment, so the implications of its usage are not obvious.  Namely that it
not only prevents entering reclaim (as the name suggests), but also allows
using all memory reserves and thus should be only used in contexts that
are allocating memory to free memory.  This may lead to new improper
usages being added.

Thus add a documenting comment, based on the description of
__GFP_MEMALLOC.  While at it, also document memalloc_pin_save() so that
all the memalloc_ scopes are documented.  For those already documented,
add missing Return: descriptions, and mark Context: description per
kernel-docs style guide.

In the comments describing the relevant PF_MEMALLOC flags, refer to their
scope setting functions.

<title>mm: kmem: scoped objcg protection</title>

<id>e86828e5446d95676835679837d995dec188d2be</id>
<content type='text'>
Switch to a scope-based protection of the objcg pointer on slab/kmem
allocation paths.  Instead of using the get_() semantics in the
pre-allocation hook and put the reference afterwards, let's rely on the
fact that objcg is pinned by the scope.

It's possible because:
1) if the objcg is received from the current task struct, the task is
   keeping a reference to the objcg.
2) if the objcg is received from an active memcg (remote charging),
   the memcg is pinned by the scope and has a reference to the
   corresponding objcg.

Pull x86 LAM (Linear Address Masking) support from Dave Hansen:
 "Add support for the new Linear Address Masking CPU feature.

  This is similar to ARM's Top Byte Ignore and allows userspace to store
  metadata in some bits of pointers without masking it out before use"

<title>sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid</title>

Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL
sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu.

Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than
freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic
operations when context switching back and forth between threads
belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many
processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are
serialized by their respective runqueue locks.

Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to
sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in
activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is
unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then
the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration.

Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work,
which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of
time.

Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task
work clear them when they are observed to be older than
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all
mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm
cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact.

Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller
values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when
context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed,
because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue
mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior
optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced
per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.
