Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"

<title>mm/sl[au]b: use own bulk free function when bulk alloc failed</title>

There is no benefit to call generic bulk free function when
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() failed. Use own kmem_cache_free_bulk()
instead of generic function.

Note that if kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() fails to allocate first object in
SLUB, size is zero. So allow passing size == 0 to kmem_cache_free_bulk()
like SLAB's.

<title>mm: slab: optimize memcg_slab_free_hook()</title>

Most callers of memcg_slab_free_hook() already know the slab,  which could
be passed to memcg_slab_free_hook() directly to reduce the overhead of an
another call of virt_to_slab().  For bulk freeing of objects, the call of
slab_objcgs() in the loop in memcg_slab_free_hook() is redundant as well.
Rework memcg_slab_free_hook() and build_detached_freelist() to reduce
those unnecessary overhead and make memcg_slab_free_hook() can handle bulk
freeing in slab_free().

Move the calling site of memcg_slab_free_hook() from do_slab_free() to
slab_free() for slub to make the code clearer since the logic is weird
(e.g. the caller need to judge whether it needs to call
memcg_slab_free_hook()). It is easy to make mistakes like missing calling
of memcg_slab_free_hook() like fixes of:

  commit d1b2cf6cb84a ("mm: memcg/slab: uncharge during kmem_cache_free_bulk()")
  commit ae085d7f9365 ("mm: kfence: fix missing objcg housekeeping for SLAB")

This optimization is mainly for bulk objects freeing.  The following numbers
is shown for 16-object freeing.

                           before      after
  kmem_cache_free_bulk:   ~430 ns     ~400 ns

The overhead is reduced by about 7% for 16-object freeing.

Slab caches marked with SLAB_ACCOUNT force accounting for every
allocation from this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT flag is not passed.
Unfortunately, at the moment this flag is not visible in ftrace output,
and this makes it difficult to analyze the accounted allocations.

This patch adds boolean "accounted" entry into trace output,
and set it to 'true' for calls used __GFP_ACCOUNT flag and
for allocations from caches marked with SLAB_ACCOUNT.
Set it to 'false' if accounting is disabled in configs.

It only does a might_sleep_if(GFP_RECLAIM) check, which is already covered
by the might_alloc() in slab_pre_alloc_hook().  And all callers of
cache_alloc_debugcheck_before() call that beforehand already.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Almost all of MM here. A few things are still getting finished off,
  reviewed, etc.

   - Yang Shi has improved the behaviour of khugepaged collapsing of
     readonly file-backed transparent hugepages.

   - Johannes Weiner has arranged for zswap memory use to be tracked and
     managed on a per-cgroup basis.

   - Munchun Song adds a /proc knob ("hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap") for
     runtime enablement of the recent huge page vmemmap optimization
     feature.

   - Baolin Wang contributes a series to fix some issues around hugetlb
     pagetable invalidation.

   - Zhenwei Pi has fixed some interactions between hwpoisoned pages and
     virtualization.

   - Tong Tiangen has enabled the use of the presently x86-only
     page_table_check debugging feature on arm64 and riscv.

   - David Vernet has done some fixup work on the memcg selftests.

   - Peter Xu has taught userfaultfd to handle write protection faults
     against shmem- and hugetlbfs-backed files.

   - More DAMON development from SeongJae Park - adding online tuning of
     the feature and support for monitoring of fixed virtual address
     ranges. Also easier discovery of which monitoring operations are
     available.

   - Nadav Amit has done some optimization of TLB flushing during
     mprotect().

   - Neil Brown continues to labor away at improving our swap-over-NFS
     support.

   - David Hildenbrand has some fixes to anon page COWing versus
     get_user_pages().

   - Peng Liu fixed some errors in the core hugetlb code.

   - Joao Martins has reduced the amount of memory consumed by
     device-dax's compound devmaps.

   - Some cleanups of the arch-specific pagemap code from Anshuman
     Khandual.

   - Muchun Song has found and fixed some errors in the TLB flushing of
     transparent hugepages.

   - Roman Gushchin has done more work on the memcg selftests.

  ... and, of course, many smaller fixes and cleanups. Notably, the
  customary million cleanup serieses from Miaohe Lin"

   - David Vernet has done some fixup work on the memcg selftests.

   - Peter Xu has taught userfaultfd to handle write protection faults
     against shmem- and hugetlbfs-backed files.

   - More DAMON development from SeongJae Park - adding online tuning of
     the feature and support for monitoring of fixed virtual address
     ranges. Also easier discovery of which monitoring operations are
     available.

   - Nadav Amit has done some optimization of TLB flushing during
     mprotect().

   - Neil Brown continues to labor away at improving our swap-over-NFS
     support.

   - David Hildenbrand has some fixes to anon page COWing versus
     get_user_pages().

   - Peng Liu fixed some errors in the core hugetlb code.

   - Joao Martins has reduced the amount of memory consumed by
     device-dax's compound devmaps.

   - Some cleanups of the arch-specific pagemap code from Anshuman
     Khandual.

   - Muchun Song has found and fixed some errors in the TLB flushing of
     transparent hugepages.

   - Roman Gushchin has done more work on the memcg selftests.

  ... and, of course, many smaller fixes and cleanups. Notably, the
  customary million cleanup serieses from Miaohe Lin"

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Conversion of slub_debug stack traces to stackdepot, allowing more
   useful debugfs-based inspection for e.g. memory leak debugging.
   Allocation and free debugfs info now includes full traces and is
   sorted by the unique trace frequency.

   The stackdepot conversion was already attempted last year but
   reverted by ae14c63a9f20. The memory overhead (while not actually
   enabled on boot) has been meanwhile solved by making the large
   stackdepot allocation dynamic. The xfstest issues haven't been
   reproduced on current kernel locally nor in -next, so the slab cache
   layout changes that originally made that bug manifest were probably
   not the root cause.

 - Refactoring of dma-kmalloc caches creation.

 - Trivial cleanups such as removal of unused parameters, fixes and
   clarifications of comments.

 - Hyeonggon Yoo joins as a reviewer.

<title>mm: make minimum slab alignment a runtime property</title>

When CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled we currently increase the minimum
slab alignment to 16.  This happens even if MTE is not supported in
hardware or disabled via kasan=off, which creates an unnecessary memory
overhead in those cases.  Eliminate this overhead by making the minimum
slab alignment a runtime property and only aligning to 16 if KASAN is
enabled at runtime.

On a DragonBoard 845c (non-MTE hardware) with a kernel built with
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, waiting for quiescence after a full Android boot I

<title>mm, kfence: support kmem_dump_obj() for KFENCE objects</title>

<content type='text'>
Calling kmem_obj_info() via kmem_dump_obj() on KFENCE objects has been
producing garbage data due to the object not actually being maintained
by SLAB or SLUB.

Fix this by implementing __kfence_obj_info() that copies relevant
information to struct kmem_obj_info when the object was allocated by
KFENCE; this is called by a common kmem_obj_info(), which also calls the
slab/slub/slob specific variant now called __kmem_obj_info().

For completeness, kmem_dump_obj() now displays if the object was
allocated by KFENCE.
