Add Makefile and Kconfig for fs/resctrl. Add ARCH_HAS_CPU_RESCTRL
for the common parts of the resctrl interface and make X86_CPU_RESCTRL
select this.

Adding an include of asm/resctrl.h to linux/resctrl.h allows the
/fs/resctrl files to switch over to using this header instead.

nfs.ko, nfsd.ko, and lockd.ko all use crc32_le(), which is available
only when CONFIG_CRC32 is enabled.  But the only NFS kconfig option that
selected CONFIG_CRC32 was CONFIG_NFS_DEBUG, which is client-specific and
did not actually guard the use of crc32_le() even on the client.

The code worked around this bug by only actually calling crc32_le() when
CONFIG_CRC32 is built-in, instead hard-coding '0' in other cases.  This
avoided randconfig build errors, and in real kernels the fallback code
was unlikely to be reached since CONFIG_CRC32 is 'default y'.  But, this
really needs to just be done properly, especially now that I'm planning
to update CONFIG_CRC32 to not be 'default y'.

Therefore, make CONFIG_NFS_FS, CONFIG_NFSD, and CONFIG_LOCKD select
CONFIG_CRC32.  Then remove the fallback code that becomes unnecessary,
as well as the selection of CONFIG_CRC32 from CONFIG_NFS_DEBUG.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
   Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
   compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

   This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
   reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

 - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
   relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

 - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
   Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
   device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
   needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
   succeed.

 - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
   remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
   for half a year and nobody has complained.

 - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
   effects are anticipated.

 - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
   process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
   madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
   in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

 - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
   Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
   noticed when working on the swap code.

 - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
   Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
   user-visible output.

 - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
   handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
   handling of large folios.

 - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
   behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
   kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

 - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
   core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
   work for the future removal of page structure fields.

 - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
   from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
   huge page sizes.

 - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
   present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
   file-backed mappings.

 - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
   reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
   for pte-mapped large folios.

 - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
   pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
   messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
   microbenchmark.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
   improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
   docs.

 - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
   van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
   when using CMA on large machines.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
   from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
   page's mapped/unmapped status.

 - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
   Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
   operations preemptibly.

 - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
   Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
   encountered while runnimg our selftests.

 - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
   determine whether a particular page is a guard page.

 - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
   removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
   wasn't being effective.

 - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
   David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
   code.

 - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
   implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
   Kconfig logic.

 - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
   Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
   DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

 - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
   powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
   preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
   vmalloc.

 - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
   fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
   code easier to follow.

 - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
   Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
   we accidentally added late last year.

 - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
   many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
   Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
   reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
   initialization.

 - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
   from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
   balancing code.

 - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
   and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
   reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
   is updated accordingly.

 - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
   updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
   removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

 - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
   it claims.

 - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
   Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
   handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
   checks.

 - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
   preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.

 - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
   CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
   which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
   on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
   directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

 - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from
   Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
   mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.

 - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
   damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
   access to DAMON internal data.

 - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz
   Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
   crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
   cmdline options.

 - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
   Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
   main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
   are generated.

 - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
   Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
   an xarray split.

 - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
   performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.

 - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and
   totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the
   page allocator code.

 - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and
   classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which
   SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work.

 - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling"
   from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai
   has observed in the memory-failure implementation.

 - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner
   makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing
   fragmentation.

 - The series "Minor memcg cleanups &amp; prep for memdescs" from Matthew
   Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs.

 - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache
   introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages"
   from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages,
   separately for file and anon pages.

 - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia
   separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim
   statistics.

 - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from
   Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim
   code.

   is updated accordingly.

 - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
   updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
   removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

 - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
   it claims.

 - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
   Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
   handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
   checks.

 - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
   preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.

 - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
   CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
   which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
   on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
   directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.

 - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from
   Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
   mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.

 - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
   damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
   access to DAMON internal data.

 - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz
   Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
   crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
   cmdline options.

 - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
   Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
   main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
   are generated.

 - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
   Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
   an xarray split.

 - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
   performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.

 - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and
   totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the
   page allocator code.

 - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and
   classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which
   SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work.

 - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling"
   from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai
   has observed in the memory-failure implementation.

 - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner
   makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing
   fragmentation.

 - The series "Minor memcg cleanups &amp; prep for memdescs" from Matthew
   Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs.

 - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache
   introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages"
   from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages,
   separately for file and anon pages.

 - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia
   separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim
   statistics.

 - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from
   Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim
   code.

<title>mm/sparse: allow for alternate vmemmap section init at boot</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=d65917c42373f70159a3fc453f8f028fd665e04f'/>
<id>d65917c42373f70159a3fc453f8f028fd665e04f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add functions that are called just before the per-section memmap is
initialized and just before the memmap page structures are initialized. 
They are called sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early and
sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late, respectively.

This allows for mm subsystems to add calls to initialize memmap and page
structures in a specific way, if using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.  Specifically,
hugetlb can pre-HVO bootmem allocated pages that way, so that no time and
resources are wasted on allocating vmemmap pages, only to free them later
(and possibly unnecessarily running the system out of memory in the
process).

Refactor some code and export a few convenience functions for external
use.

In sparse_init_nid, skip any sections that are already initialized, e.g. 
they have been initialized by sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early already.

The hugetlb code to use these functions will be added in a later commit.

Export section_map_size, as any alternate memmap init code will want to
use it.

The internal config option to enable this is SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT,
which is selected if an architecture-specific option,
ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, is set.  In the future, if other
subsystems want to do preinit too, they can do it in a similar fashion.

The internal config option is there because a section flag is used, and
the number of flags available is architecture-dependent (see mmzone.h). 
Architecures can decide if there is room for the flag when enabling
options that select SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT.

Fortunately, as of right now, all sparse vmemmap using architectures do
have room.

<content type='text'>
Since 2002 (change "Replace BKL for chain locking with sysvfs-private
rwlock") the sysv filesystem was doing IO under a rwlock in its
get_block() function (yes, a non-sleepable lock hold over a function
used to read inode metadata for all reads and writes).  Nobody noticed
until syzbot in 2023 [1]. This shows nobody is using the filesystem.
Just drop it.

<title>nfs_common: fix Kconfig for NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT</title>

<id>009b15b5748549fec4f40f1142ce644a27ddc265</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'default n' that was in NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT caused these
extra defaults to be missed:
        default y if NFSD=y || NFS_FS=y
	default m if NFSD=m &amp;&amp; NFS_FS=m

Remove the 'default n' for NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT so that the
correct tristate is selected based on how NFSD and NFS_FS are
configured.  This fixes the reported case where NFS_FS=y but
NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT=m, it is now correctly set to =y.

In addition, add extra 'depends on NFS_LOCALIO' to
NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT so that if NFS_LOCALIO isn't set then
NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT will not be either.

fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c provides interfaces that enable an NFS
client to generate a nonce (single-use UUID) and associated nfs_uuid_t
struct, register it with nfs_common for subsequent lookup and
verification by the NFS server and if matched the NFS server populates
members in the nfs_uuid_t struct.

nfs_common's nfs_uuids list is the basis for localio enablement, as
such it has members that point to nfsd memory for direct use by the
client (e.g. 'net' is the server's network namespace, through it the
client can access nn-&gt;nfsd_serv).

This commit also provides the base nfs_uuid_t interfaces to allow
proper net namespace refcounting for the LOCALIO use case.

CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO controls the nfs_common, NFS server and NFS client
enablement for LOCALIO. If both NFS_FS=m and NFSD=m then
NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT=m and nfs_localio.ko is built (and provides
nfs_common's LOCALIO support).

fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c provides interfaces that enable an NFS
client to generate a nonce (single-use UUID) and associated nfs_uuid_t
struct, register it with nfs_common for subsequent lookup and
verification by the NFS server and if matched the NFS server populates
members in the nfs_uuid_t struct.

nfs_common's nfs_uuids list is the basis for localio enablement, as
such it has members that point to nfsd memory for direct use by the
client (e.g. 'net' is the server's network namespace, through it the
client can access nn-&gt;nfsd_serv).

This commit also provides the base nfs_uuid_t interfaces to allow
proper net namespace refcounting for the LOCALIO use case.

CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO controls the nfs_common, NFS server and NFS client
enablement for LOCALIO. If both NFS_FS=m and NFSD=m then
NFS_COMMON_LOCALIO_SUPPORT=m and nfs_localio.ko is built (and provides
nfs_common's LOCALIO support).
