 - "mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp" (SJ Park)

   Replace the error-prone, continuously updated nr_accesses_bp field in
   damon_region with an on-demand moving sum function, reducing
   structure memory overhead and avoiding state corruption bugs

 - "Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic use" (Ackerley Tng)

   Decouple HugeTLB folio allocation from VMA dependencies by
   introducing hugetlb_alloc_folio(), enabling subsystems like
   guest_memfd to allocate HugeTLB folios without standard VMA
   reservations or pseudo-VMAs

 - "mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits" (SJ Park)

   Integrate DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter into the pseudo moving
   sum infrastructure, enabling real-time, online monitoring without
   waiting for full aggregation intervals

   checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve
   maintenance efficiency

 - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and cleanup issues" (Yichong
   Chen)

   Rename is_need() to filter_record() for clearer return semantics, fix
   per-record allocation memory leaks and bound output copies in
   search_pattern() to address an existing buffer issue

 - "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" (Jiayuan Chen)

   Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed
   while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim

 - "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
   Leitao)

   Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl
   that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in
   kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,
   silent data corruption

 - "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
   handling" (SJ Park)

   Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
   are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
   fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
   cleanup code

 - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)

   Add checks to ensure tail_page-&gt;private is zero when freeing compound
   or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
   splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
   the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
   prep_compound_tail()

 - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
   Song)

   Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
   wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
   contention and system overhead

   By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
   and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
   30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads

 - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

   Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
   to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
   MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.

 - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
   Shutsemau)

   Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest
   memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
   tiered or remote storage

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
   pages on the way.

 - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)

   Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
   when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
   behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
   existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
   maintain measurement accuracy.

 - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)

   Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
   thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
   contention.

   By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
   reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
   under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
   memory pressure.

 - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)

   Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
   into new headers

 - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)

   Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
   collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
   KSM memory error handling.

   It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
   anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
   reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.

 - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
   Patil)

   Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
   report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
   satisfied

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)

   Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
   users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
   cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.

   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
   disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
   weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
   attribute-focused workloads.

 - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
   (Stanislav Kinsburskii)

   Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
   allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.

   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
   regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.

 - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Clean up and standardize how vma-&gt;vm_pgoff is accessed and
   manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel

   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
   renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
   functionality.

   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
   folios.

 - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)

   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
   created during HMM migrations

   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
   properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
   THP or a standard migration entry.

 - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)

   Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
   anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
   functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
   large folio unmapping.

 - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)

   Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
   document

 - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)

   Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
   infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
   entire memory regions

   By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
   enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
   compatibility.

 - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
   to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.

   It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
   unmapped area allocation, mm-&gt;def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
   mlock, mprotect, and mremap.

 - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)

   Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
   slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
   documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.

 - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)

   Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
   fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
   from outer layers.

   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
   members.

 - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
   (SJ Park)

   Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
   conditions identified in DAMON

   It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.

 - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
   on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
   via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.

   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
   hotplug or large allocation frees.

 - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
   debug assertions.

   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
   VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.

 - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.

   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
   eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
   to current-&gt;mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
   functional changes intended.

 - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
   reclaim" (Ridong Chen)

   Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
   memory reclaim paths

   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
   of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
   gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().

 - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)

   Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
   removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
   pages as non-resident.

 - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API

 - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
   bugs" (SJ Park)

   Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
   Sashiko. It initializes the damos-&gt;last_applied field to prevent
   occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
   in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.

 - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)

   Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
   without altering functionality.

   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.

 - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)

   Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
   capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().

   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
   flow and complexity.

 - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
   (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
   early_ioremap_reset()

   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.

 - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)

   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
   production

   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.

 - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)

   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances

   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

 - "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" (Jiayuan Chen)

   Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed
   while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim

 - "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
   Leitao)

   Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl
   that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in
   kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,
   silent data corruption

 - "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
   handling" (SJ Park)

   Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
   are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
   fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
   cleanup code

 - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)

   Add checks to ensure tail_page-&gt;private is zero when freeing compound
   or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
   splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
   the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
   prep_compound_tail()

 - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
   Song)

   Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
   wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
   contention and system overhead

   By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
   and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
   30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads

 - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

   Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
   to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
   MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.

 - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
   Shutsemau)

   Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest
   memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
   tiered or remote storage

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
   pages on the way.

 - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)

   Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
   when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
   behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
   existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
   maintain measurement accuracy.

 - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)

   Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
   thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
   contention.

   By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
   reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
   under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
   memory pressure.

 - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)

   Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
   into new headers

 - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)

   Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
   collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
   KSM memory error handling.

   It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
   anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
   reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.

 - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
   Patil)

   Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
   report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
   satisfied

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)

   Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
   users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
   cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.

   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
   disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
   weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
   attribute-focused workloads.

 - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
   (Stanislav Kinsburskii)

   Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
   allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.

   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
   regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.

 - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Clean up and standardize how vma-&gt;vm_pgoff is accessed and
   manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel

   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
   renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
   functionality.

   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
   folios.

 - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)

   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
   created during HMM migrations

   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
   properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
   THP or a standard migration entry.

 - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)

   Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
   anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
   functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
   large folio unmapping.

 - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)

   Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
   document

 - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)

   Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
   infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
   entire memory regions

   By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
   enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
   compatibility.

 - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
   to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.

   It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
   unmapped area allocation, mm-&gt;def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
   mlock, mprotect, and mremap.

 - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)

   Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
   slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
   documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.

 - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)

   Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
   fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
   from outer layers.

   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
   members.

 - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
   (SJ Park)

   Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
   conditions identified in DAMON

   It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.

 - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
   on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
   via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.

   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
   hotplug or large allocation frees.

 - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
   Jackman)

   Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
   debug assertions.

   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
   VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.

 - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.

   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
   eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
   to current-&gt;mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
   functional changes intended.

 - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
   reclaim" (Ridong Chen)

   Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
   memory reclaim paths

   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
   of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
   gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().

 - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)

   Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
   removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
   pages as non-resident.

 - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API

 - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
   bugs" (SJ Park)

   Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
   Sashiko. It initializes the damos-&gt;last_applied field to prevent
   occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
   in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.

 - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)

   Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
   without altering functionality.

   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.

 - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)

   Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
   capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().

   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
   flow and complexity.

 - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
   (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
   early_ioremap_reset()

   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.

 - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)

   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
   production

   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
   than spinning unproductively.

 - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)

   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances

   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "container_of:

   - Apply typeof_member(), remove the local __mptr variable to
     eliminate variable shadowing warnings on nested container_of()
     calls, and remove unnecessary parentheses

  core:

   - Add driver name to probe debug print for initcall_debug

   - Avoid repeatedly printing the same 'Fixed dependency cycle' log

   - Unwind device_add() on attribute creation failure in
     attribute_container_add_class_device()

   - Remove statistics group if encryption group creation fails in
     transport_add_class_device()

  debugfs:

   - Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare()

   - Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs

  device property:

   - Implement fw_devlink support for software nodes by adding
     software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
     DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
     kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage

   - Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the
     secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases

   - Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when
     called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)

   - Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()

   - Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer

  firmware loader:

   - Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
     queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
     request

   - Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
     firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE

  kobject:

   - Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
     and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
     to reside in read-only memory

  platform:

   - Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
     and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
     firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
     devices

     Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
     dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
     to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
     nodes

   - Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
     by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter
     API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add
     KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device
     unregistration

  Rust:

   - Auxiliary:
       - Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant
         ForLt types

   - Debugfs:
       - Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements
         from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits

   - Device:
       - Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait
         for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound
         device.
       - Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent
         coercion to shorter lifetimes

   - Devres:
       - Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker
         could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the
         inner data, causing use-after-free.
       - Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes
         unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional.
       - Add DevresLt&lt;F: ForLt&gt;, a wrapper around Devres that shortens
         'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and
         CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem

   - Driver:
       - Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup,
         storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID
         handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF
         matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs

   - I/O:
       - Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type
         for the existing untyped case), create view types representing
         subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for
         safely creating subviews.
       - Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io)
         with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from
         overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on.
       - Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile
         access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type.
         Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying
         methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for
         typed access.
       - Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!()
         for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old
         macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection.
       - Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro,
         remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias
         destinations

   - IRQ:
       - Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers
         by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and
         replacing Devres&lt;RegistrationInner&gt; with direct
         request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own
         lifetime-bound device resources

   - PCI:
       - Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning
         type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation
         lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the
         conversion infallible. Remove the redundant
         request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device.
       - Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on
         IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX,
         PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX.
       - Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline

   - Serdev:
       - Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including
         serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct
         serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing
         RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes
         over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code

   - Misc:
       - Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of&lt;'a&gt; GAT) and an
         unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance,
         enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex&lt;&amp;'bound T&gt;)
         to participate in the ForLt abstraction.
       - Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero.
       - Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef

  misc:
   - Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using
     kernfs_iattrs_noalloc().
   - Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure.
   - Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol.
   - Fix /sys/module path in comment.
   - Refactor ISA bus init to remove nested blocks.
   - Remove redundant nodemask clears in numa_init().
   - Add kernel-doc for fwnode_operations and sys_soc.h, mark
     internal property data as private for kernel-doc, and add
     property.h/fwnode.h to driver-api infrastructure docs.
   - Add MAINTAINERS entry for sys_soc.h"

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "container_of:

   - Apply typeof_member(), remove the local __mptr variable to
     eliminate variable shadowing warnings on nested container_of()
     calls, and remove unnecessary parentheses

  core:

   - Add driver name to probe debug print for initcall_debug

   - Avoid repeatedly printing the same 'Fixed dependency cycle' log

   - Unwind device_add() on attribute creation failure in
     attribute_container_add_class_device()

   - Remove statistics group if encryption group creation fails in
     transport_add_class_device()

  debugfs:

   - Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare()

   - Warn if file creation failed due to uninitialized debugfs

  device property:

   - Implement fw_devlink support for software nodes by adding
     software_node_add_links(), which creates fwnode links from
     DEV_PROP_REF properties to enable automatic probe ordering. Add
     kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage

   - Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the
     secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases

   - Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when
     called with index -1 (UINT_MAX)

   - Refactor to use RAII approach with __free()

   - Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer

  firmware loader:

   - Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being
     queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback
     request

   - Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty
     firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE

  kobject:

   - Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros
     and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them
     to reside in read-only memory

  platform:

   - Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(),
     and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate
     firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform
     devices

     Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or
     dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch
     to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF
     nodes

   - Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices
     by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter
     API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add
     KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device
     unregistration

  Rust:

   - Auxiliary:
       - Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant
         ForLt types

   - Debugfs:
       - Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements
         from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits

   - Device:
       - Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait
         for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound
         device.
       - Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent
         coercion to shorter lifetimes

   - Devres:
       - Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker
         could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the
         inner data, causing use-after-free.
       - Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes
         unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional.
       - Add DevresLt&lt;F: ForLt&gt;, a wrapper around Devres that shortens
         'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and
         CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem

   - Driver:
       - Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup,
         storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID
         handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF
         matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs

   - I/O:
       - Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type
         for the existing untyped case), create view types representing
         subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for
         safely creating subviews.
       - Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io)
         with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from
         overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on.
       - Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile
         access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type.
         Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying
         methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for
         typed access.
       - Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!()
         for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old
         macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection.
       - Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro,
         remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias
         destinations

   - IRQ:
       - Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers
         by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and
         replacing Devres&lt;RegistrationInner&gt; with direct
         request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own

<content type='text'>
In PowerPC (pseries) a non-virtualized adapter will have 2 DMA windows -
2GB default and a larger Dynamic DMA Window (DDW). DDW is large enough to
map total RAM to a device.

During normal functioning of OS, since RAM is pre-mapped, 2GB default
window is not used. The only scenario it might get used is when buffers in
pmemory are mapped to the device for DMA.

As of today, during kdump, during early device discovery, pci_dma_find()
finds that the device has 2 DMA windows. It selects to use DDW. This is a
kdump path and DMA window is needed for IO to the device.

Although commit 09a3c1e46142 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not
initialized for kdump over SR-IOV") fixed an issue during kdump with SR-IOV
case, but this also made the kdump prefer DDW over the default DMA window
when both are present (dedicated adapter case). Since the DDW is fully
mapped by the previous kernel, iommu_table_clear() can free only
KDUMP_MIN_TCE_ENTRIES (2048) TCEs for use by kdump kernel.

This is not enough when the dump device is NVMe over Fibre Channel.
Because nvme-fc driver DMA-maps the cmds and resp IUs of every
pre-allocated request and each such mapping consumes roughly:

    32 (IO queues, one per cpus = nr_cpus) *
    64 (queue_depth, blk-mq kdump limit) *
    2 (cmd+resp) = 4096

This is already double of what we have without counting admin queues and
lpfc driver's own allocations / mapping requirement. Hence this results
into iommu_alloc failures like -

lpfc 0153:70:00.0: iommu_alloc failed,
tbl 0000000034ebcf5e vaddr 00000000d814df0b npages 1

Increasing the number of free TCE entries in iommu_table_clear() will
increase the probability of hitting EEH since there could still be some
active IOs from the previous life of the kernel.

Hence this patch partially reverts the previous fixes commit and
switches the kdump's default back to 2GB default DMA window instead of
DDW window. This window will mostly be empty. Or, could be slightly used
if buffers in pmemory were mapped for IO.

In PowerPC (pseries) a non-virtualized adapter will have 2 DMA windows -
2GB default and a larger Dynamic DMA Window (DDW). DDW is large enough to
map total RAM to a device.

During normal functioning of OS, since RAM is pre-mapped, 2GB default
window is not used. The only scenario it might get used is when buffers in
pmemory are mapped to the device for DMA.

As of today, during kdump, during early device discovery, pci_dma_find()
finds that the device has 2 DMA windows. It selects to use DDW. This is a
kdump path and DMA window is needed for IO to the device.

Although commit 09a3c1e46142 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not

<title>gpio: move ppc4xx gpio driver from arch/powerpc to drivers/gpio</title>

Move the ppc4xx gpio driver out of arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ into
drivers/gpio/gpio-ppc44x.c. The driver has no architecture-specific
dependencies and follows the same pattern as other PowerPC GPIO
drivers already in drivers/gpio/ (e.g. gpio-mpc8xxx, gpio-mpc5200).

- Renamed Kconfig symbol from PPC4xx_GPIO to GPIO_PPC44X
- Updated ppc44x_defconfig and warp_defconfig to use the new symbol
- Marked the new option as tristate (was bool) since the driver
  supports module build via module_platform_driver()
