Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from
   Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection
   algorithm. This leads to improved memory savings.

 - Wei Yang has gone to town on the mapletree code, contributing several
   series which clean up the implementation:
	- "refine mas_mab_cp()"
	- "Reduce the space to be cleared for maple_big_node"
	- "maple_tree: simplify mas_push_node()"
	- "Following cleanup after introduce mas_wr_store_type()"
	- "refine storing null"

 - The series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements" from
   David Hildenbrand fixes this selftest for s390.

 - The series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()" from Qi Zheng
   implements some rationaizations and cleanups in the page mapping
   code.

 - The series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal" from Shakeel Butt
   optimizes the file truncation code by speeding up the handling of
   shadow entries.

 - The series "Remove PageKsm()" from Matthew Wilcox completes the
   migration of this flag over to being a folio-based flag.

 - The series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions" from
   Oscar Salvador implements a bunch of consolidations and cleanups in
   the hugetlb code.

 - The series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault" from Dev Jain
   takes away the wp-fault time practice of turning a huge zero page
   into small pages. Instead we replace the whole thing with a THP. More
   consistent cleaner and potentiall saves a large number of pagefaults.

 - The series "percpu: Add a test case and fix for clang" from Andy
   Shevchenko enhances and fixes the kernel's built in percpu test code.

 - The series "mm/mremap: Remove extra vma tree walk" from Liam Howlett
   optimizes mremap() by avoiding doing things which we didn't need to
   do.

 - The series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance" from
   Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to copy data into userspace at the folio
   size rather than as individual pages. A 20% speedup was observed.

 - The series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
   damon_va_evenly_split_region()" fro Zheng Yejian fixes DAMON
   splitting.

 - The series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving" from Shakeel
   Butt removes the long-deprecated memcgv2 charge moving feature.

   improves zswap's batching of compression and decompression. It is a
   step along the way towards using Intel IAA hardware acceleration for
   this zswap operation.

   this. Improved efficiencies for userspace memory allocators are
   expected.

 - The series "memcg: tracepoint for flushing stats" from JP Kobryn uses
   tracepoints to provide increased visibility into memcg stats flushing
   activity.

When a request to evict an inode comes in over the network, we are
trying to grab an inode reference via the iopen glock's gl_object
pointer.  There is a very small probability that by the time such a
request comes in, inode creation hasn't completed and the I_NEW flag is
still set.  To deal with that, wait for the inode and then check if
inode creation was successful.

The mechanism to defer deleting unlinked inodes is tied to
delete_work_func(), which is tied to iopen glocks.  When we don't have
an iopen glock, we must carry out deletes immediately instead.

Fixes a NULL pointer dereference in gfs2_evict_inode().

Fixes: 8c21c2c71e66 ("gfs2: Call gfs2_queue_verify_delete from gfs2_evict_inode")

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains changes the changes for files for this cycle:

   - Introduce a new reference counting mechanism for files.

     As atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a try_cmpxchg() loop
     it has O(N^2) behaviour under contention with N concurrent
     operations and it is in a hot path in __fget_files_rcu().

     The rcuref infrastructures remedies this problem by using an
     unconditional increment relying on safe- and dead zones to make
     this work and requiring rcu protection for the data structure in
     question. This not just scales better it also introduces overflow
     protection.

     However, in contrast to generic rcuref, files require a memory
     barrier and thus cannot rely on *_relaxed() atomic operations and
     also require to be built on atomic_long_t as having massive amounts
     of reference isn't unheard of even if it is just an attack.

     This adds a file specific variant instead of making this a generic
     library.

     This has been tested by various people and it gives consistent
     improvement up to 3-5% on workloads with loads of threads.

   - Add a fastpath for find_next_zero_bit(). Skip 2-levels searching
     via find_next_zero_bit() when there is a free slot in the word that
     contains the next fd. This improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read by 8%
     and write by 4% on Intel ICX 160.

   - Conditionally clear full_fds_bits since it's very likely that a bit
     in full_fds_bits has been cleared during __clear_open_fds(). This
     improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read up to 13%, and write up to 5% on
     Intel ICX 160.

   - Get rid of all lookup_*_fdget_rcu() variants. They were used to
     lookup files without taking a reference count. That became invalid
     once files were switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and now we're
     always taking a reference count. Switch to an already existing
     helper and remove the legacy variants.

   - Remove pointless includes of &lt;linux/fdtable.h&gt;.

   - Avoid cmpxchg() in close_files() as nobody else has a reference to
     the files_struct at that point.

   - Move close_range() into fs/file.c and fold __close_range() into it.

   - Cleanup calling conventions of alloc_fdtable() and expand_files().

   - Merge __{set,clear}_close_on_exec() into one.

   - Make __set_open_fd() set cloexec as well instead of doing it in two
     separate steps"

* tag 'vfs-6.13.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:

  fs: protect backing files with rcu
  file.c: merge __{set,clear}_close_on_exec()

     via find_next_zero_bit() when there is a free slot in the word that
     contains the next fd. This improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read by 8%
     and write by 4% on Intel ICX 160.

   - Conditionally clear full_fds_bits since it's very likely that a bit
     in full_fds_bits has been cleared during __clear_open_fds(). This
     improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read up to 13%, and write up to 5% on
     Intel ICX 160.

   - Get rid of all lookup_*_fdget_rcu() variants. They were used to
     lookup files without taking a reference count. That became invalid
     once files were switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and now we're
     always taking a reference count. Switch to an already existing
     helper and remove the legacy variants.

   - Remove pointless includes of &lt;linux/fdtable.h&gt;.

   - Avoid cmpxchg() in close_files() as nobody else has a reference to
     the files_struct at that point.

   - Move close_range() into fs/file.c and fold __close_range() into it.

   - Cleanup calling conventions of alloc_fdtable() and expand_files().

   - Merge __{set,clear}_close_on_exec() into one.

   - Make __set_open_fd() set cloexec as well instead of doing it in two
     separate steps"

<title>mm/list_lru: simplify the list_lru walk callback function</title>

Now isolation no longer takes the list_lru global node lock, only use the
per-cgroup lock instead.  And this lock is inside the list_lru_one being
walked, no longer needed to pass the lock explicitly.

<title>gfs2: Simplify DLM_LKF_QUECVT use</title>

The DLM_LKF_QUECVT flag needs to be set for "upward" lock conversions to
ensure fairness, but setting it for "downward" lock conversions will
lead to a failure.  The flag is currently set based on the GLF_BLOCKING
flag and it's not immediately obvious why this is correct.  Simplify
things by figuring out if a lock conversion is "upward" by looking at
the before and after locking modes instead of relying on the
GLF_BLOCKING flag.

When function evict_should_delete() returns SHOULD_DEFER_EVICTION, gh is
never initialized, but that isn't obvious; if it did initialize gh and
then return SHOULD_DEFER_EVICTION, gfs2_evict_inode() would fail to
release it.  To clarify the code, change gfs2_evict_inode() to always
check if gh needs to be released, no matter what evict_should_delete()
returns.
