Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity" (Li Wang)

   Remove some noise from the MM selftests build

 - "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently" (Ryan Roberts)

   Speed up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by first scanning
   them for coalescing opportunities. This is applicable to vfree() and
   to the releasing of frozen pages

 - "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota charge ratio"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Address a DAMOS usability issue: The DAMOS quota often exhausts
   prematurely because it charges for all memory attempted, causing slow
   and inconsistent performance when actions fail on unreclaimable
   memory.

   To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
   charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
   Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
   ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing

 - "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness and support large
   page sizes" (Li Wang)

   Fix various spurious failures and improves the overall robustness of
   the cgroup zswap selftests

 - "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno" (Anthony Yznaga)

   Fix an issue in the mlock selftests on arm32

 - "mm: huge_memory: clean up defrag sysfs with shared" (Breno Leitao)

   Some maintenance work in the huge_memory code

 - "treewide: fixup gfp_t printks" (Brendan Jackman)

   Use the special vprintf() gfp_t conversion in various places

 - "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and initialization" (Muchun
   Song)

   Fix several bugs in the vmemmap optimization, mainly around incorrect
   page accounting and memmap initialization in the DAX and memory
   hotplug paths. It also fixes pageblock migratetype initialization and
   struct page initialization for ZONE_DEVICE compound pages

 - "mm/damon: repost non-hotfix reviewed patches in damon/next tree"

   A sprinkle of unrelated minor bugfixes for DAMON

 - "mm: remove page_mapped()" (David Hildenbrand)

   Remove this function from the tree, replacing it with folio_mapped()

 - "mm/damon: let DAMON be paused and resumed" (SeongJae Park)

   Allow DAMON to be paused and resumed without losing its current state

 - "kasan: hw_tags: Disable tagging for stack and page-tables" (Muhammad
   Usama Anjum)

   Simplify and speed up kasan by removing its ineffective tagging of
   stacks and page tables

 - "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: monitor all system rams by default"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Simplify deployment on diverse hardware like NUMA systems by updating
   DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to automatically monitor the
   physical address range covering all System RAM areas by default,
   replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only targeted the
   single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead

 - "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as deprecated" (SeongJae
   Park)

   Update some DAMON docs

 - "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" (Dmitry Ilvokhin)

   Switch zone-&gt;lock handling over to using the guard() mechanisms

 - "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting" (fujunjie)

   Fix a flaw where the mmap_miss counter over-credited page cache hits
   during fault-arounds and page-fault retries. This results in
   significant reduction of redundant synchronous mmap readahead I/O,
   drastically cutting down execution time and gigabytes read for sparse
   random or strided memory access workloads

 - "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in test_percpu_basic"
   (Li Wang)

   Fix a couple of false-positives in the cgroup kmem selftests

 - "mm/damon/reclaim: support monitoring intervals auto-tuning"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Add a new parameter to DAMON permitting DAMON_RECLAIM to
   automatically tune DAMON's sampling and aggregation intervals

 - "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter" (SeongJae Park)

   Change DAMON_STAT to provide the pid of its kdamond

 - "mm/kmemleak: dedupe verbose scan output" (Breno Leitao)

   Remove large amounts of duplicated backtraces from the verbose-mode
   kmemleak output

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Reduce our use of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, with a view to
   removing it entirely in a later series

 - "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of 2" (Liew Rui Yan)

   Prevent users from passing a non-power-of-2 value of `addr_unit', as
   this later results in undesirable behavior

 - "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" (Frederick Mayle)

 - "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" (Ye Liu)

   Fix three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c

 - "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" (Brendan Jackman)

   Implement several cleanups in the page allocator and related code

 - "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation" (Kairui Song)

   Unify the allocation and charging of anon and shmem swap in folios,
   provides better synchronization, consolidates the metadata
   management, hence dropping the static array and map, and improves
   performance

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring" (SeongJae Park(

   Extend DAMON to monitor general data attributes other than accesses

 - "mm/vmalloc: free unused pages on vrealloc() shrink" (Shivam Kalra)

   Implement the TODO in vrealloc() to unmap and free unused pages when
   shrinking across a page boundary

 - "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" (niecheng)

 - "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Eliminate custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the problematic
   success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access uninitialized
   VMAs. It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code field and
   updates the memory char driver accordingly

 - "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability and tests"
   (SeongJae Park)

 - "mm/damon: fix macro arguments and clarify quota goals doc" (Maksym
   Shcherba)

 - "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c" (Mike
   Rapoport)

 - "mm/mglru: improve reclaim loop and dirty folio" (Kairui Song and
   others)

   Clean up and slightly improves MGLRU's reclaim loop and dirty
   writeback handling. Large performance improvements are measured

 - "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} reads" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Use per-vma locks when reading /proc/pid/smaps and numa_maps similar
   to reduce contention on central mmap_lock

 - "refactors thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() and thpsize_shmem_enabled_show()"
   (Ran Xiaokai)

   Fix a few build glitches in the memfd selftest code.

 - "memcg: shrink obj_stock_pcp and cache multiple objcgs" (Shakeel
   Butt)

   Resolve a 68% performance regression caused by NUMA-node cache
   thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking its existing
   fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches up to
   five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of the
   same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.

 - "zram: writeback fixes" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   address a couple of unrelated zram writeback issues

 - "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" (Johannes Weiner)

   Resolve NUMA-awareness issues and streamlines callsite interaction by
   refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely replace the
   complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent Huge Pages

 - "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory" (Usama Arif)

   Improve large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page arm64 by
   preventing the mmap_miss check from permanently disabling
   target-oriented VM_EXEC readahead, and by generalizing the
   force_thp_readahead gate to support mappings with any usefully large
   maximum folio order under the cache cap.

 - "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Fix a bunch of minor issues in the userfaultfd/pagemap, all of which
   were flagged by Sashiko review of proposed new material

 - "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Provide generic vmemmap_set_pmd() and
   vmemmap_check_pmd()" (Muchun Song)

   Provide generic versions of these two functions so the four
   arch-specific implementations can be removed.

 - "mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in uswsusp by pinning swap
   device" (Youngjun Park)

   Address a uswsusp-vs-swapoff race and reduces the swap device
   reference taking/releasing frequency.

 - "mm/hmm: A fix and a selftest" (Dev Jain)

<content type='text'>
The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk return value is weird.  It returns the number
of allocated objects, but that must always be 0 or the requested number
based on the implementations and the handling in the callers, but that
assumption is not actually documented anywhere, which confuses automated
review tools.

Fix this by returning a bool if the allocation succeeded and adding a
kerneldoc comment explaining the API.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS defines the number of page orders supported by the page
allocator, ranging from 0 to MAX_ORDER, MAX_ORDER + 1 in total.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS assists in defining arrays of page orders and allows for
more natural iteration over them.

<title>lib/test_meminit: allocate pages up to order MAX_ORDER</title>

test_pages() tests the page allocator by calling alloc_pages() with
different orders up to order 10.

However, different architectures and platforms support different maximum
contiguous allocation sizes.  The default maximum allocation order
(MAX_ORDER) is 10, but architectures can use CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER
to override this.  On platforms where this is less than 10, test_meminit()
will blow up with a WARN().  This is expected, so let's not do that.

Replace the hardcoded "10" with the MAX_ORDER macro so that we test
allocations up to the expected platform limit.

alloc_pages(), kmalloc() and vmalloc() are all memory allocation functions
which can return NULL when some internal memory failures happen.  So it is
better to check the return of them to catch the failure in time for better
test them.

To make the test more robust, there are the following changes:
1. add a check for the return value of kmem_cache_alloc().
2. properly release the object `buf` on several error paths.
3. release the objects of `used_objects` if we never hit `saved_ptr`.
4. destroy the created cache by default.

kmem_cache_alloc_bulk/kmem_cache_free_bulk are used to make multiple
allocations of the same size to avoid the overhead of multiple
