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.

 - The series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes cleanup up some of the mmap() error handling and
   addresses some potential performance issues.

 - The series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations"
   from Mike Rapoport teaches x86 to use large pages for
   read-only-execute module text.

 - The series "page allocation tag compression" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   is followon maintenance work for the new page allocation profiling
   feature.

 - The series "page-&gt;index removals in mm" from Matthew Wilcox remove
   most references to page-&gt;index in mm/. A slow march towards shrinking
   struct page.

 - The series "damon/{self,kunit}tests: minor fixups for DAMON debugfs
   interface tests" from Andrew Paniakin performs maintenance work for
   DAMON's self testing code.

 - The series "mm: zswap swap-out of large folios" from Kanchana Sridhar
   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.

 - The series "kasan: migrate the last module test to kunit" from
   Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov completes the migration of the KASAN built-in
   tests over to the KUnit framework.

 - The series "implement lightweight guard pages" from Lorenzo Stoakes
   permits userapace to place fault-generating guard pages within a
   single VMA, rather than requiring that multiple VMAs be created for
   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.

 - The series "zram: IDLE flag handling fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   fixes a zram buglet which potentially affected performance.

 - The series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP" from
   Maíra Canal enhances our ability to control/configuremultisize THP
   from the kernel boot command line.

 - The series "kasan: few improvements on kunit tests" from Sabyrzhan
   Tasbolatov has a couple of fixups for the KASAN KUnit tests.

 - The series "mm/list_lru: Split list_lru lock into per-cgroup scope"
   from Kairui Song optimizes list_lru memory utilization when lockdep
   is enabled.

<title>tools/mm: fix slabinfo crash when MAX_SLABS is exceeded</title>

<id>e3d37a6f62953962102607fe4491129271510990</id>
<content type='text'>
The number of slabs can easily exceed the hard coded MAX_SLABS in the
slabinfo tool, causing it to overwrite memory and crash.

Increase the value of MAX_SLABS, and check if that has been exceeded for
each new slab, instead of at the end when it's already too late.  Also
move the check for MAX_ALIASES into the loop body.

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches - please see the various changelogs for
  details.

  Quite a lot of nilfs2 work this time around.

  Notable patch series in this pull request are:

   - "mul_u64_u64_div_u64: new implementation" by Nicolas Pitre, with
     assistance from Uwe Kleine-König. Reimplement mul_u64_u64_div_u64()
     to provide (much) more accurate results. The current implementation
     was causing Uwe some issues in the PWM drivers.

   - "xz: Updates to license, filters, and compression options" from
     Lasse Collin. Miscellaneous maintenance and kinor feature work to
     the xz decompressor.

   - "Fix some GDB command error and add some GDB commands" from
     Kuan-Ying Lee. Fixes and enhancements to the gdb scripts.

   - "treewide: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros" from Jeff
     Johnson. Adds lots of MODULE_DESCRIPTIONs, thus fixing lots of
     warnings about this.

   - "nilfs2: add support for some common ioctls" from Ryusuke Konishi.
     Adds various commonly-available ioctls to nilfs2.

   - "This series fixes a number of formatting issues in kernel doc
     comments" from Ryusuke Konishi does that.

   - "nilfs2: prevent unexpected ENOENT propagation" from Ryusuke
     Konishi. Fix issues where -ENOENT was being unintentionally and
     inappropriately returned to userspace.

   - "nilfs2: assorted cleanups" from Huang Xiaojia.

   - "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes" from Ryusuke
     Konishi fixes some issues which can occur on corrupted nilfs2

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches - please see the various changelogs for
  details.

  Quite a lot of nilfs2 work this time around.

  Notable patch series in this pull request are:

   - "mul_u64_u64_div_u64: new implementation" by Nicolas Pitre, with
     assistance from Uwe Kleine-König. Reimplement mul_u64_u64_div_u64()
     to provide (much) more accurate results. The current implementation
     was causing Uwe some issues in the PWM drivers.

   - "xz: Updates to license, filters, and compression options" from
     Lasse Collin. Miscellaneous maintenance and kinor feature work to
     the xz decompressor.

   - "Fix some GDB command error and add some GDB commands" from
     Kuan-Ying Lee. Fixes and enhancements to the gdb scripts.

   - "treewide: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros" from Jeff
     Johnson. Adds lots of MODULE_DESCRIPTIONs, thus fixing lots of
     warnings about this.

   - "nilfs2: add support for some common ioctls" from Ryusuke Konishi.
     Adds various commonly-available ioctls to nilfs2.

   - "This series fixes a number of formatting issues in kernel doc
     comments" from Ryusuke Konishi does that.

   - "nilfs2: prevent unexpected ENOENT propagation" from Ryusuke
     Konishi. Fix issues where -ENOENT was being unintentionally and
     inappropriately returned to userspace.

   - "nilfs2: assorted cleanups" from Huang Xiaojia.

   - "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes" from Ryusuke
     Konishi fixes some issues which can occur on corrupted nilfs2
     filesystems.

   - "scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: improve error reporting and
     usability" from Luca Ceresoli does those things"

This flag has similar constraints to PG_owner_priv_1 -- it is ignored by
core code, and is entirely for the use of the code which allocated the
folio.  Since the pagecache does not use it, individual filesystems can
use it.  The bufferhead code does use it, so filesystems which use the
buffer cache must not use it for another purpose.

<title>tools/mm: introduce a tool to assess swap entry allocation for thp_swapout</title>
<updated>2024-07-10T19:14:51+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=95139d9408453df05dc4dfde37a0eb70afae0f81'/>
<id>95139d9408453df05dc4dfde37a0eb70afae0f81</id>

Both Ryan and Chris have been utilizing the small test program to aid in
debugging and identifying issues with swap entry allocation.  While a real
or intricate workload might be more suitable for assessing the correctness
and effectiveness of the swap allocation policy, a small test program
presents a simpler means of understanding the problem and initially
verifying the improvements being made.

Let's endeavor to integrate it into tools/mm.  Although it presently only
accommodates 64KB and 4KB, I'm optimistic that we can expand its
capabilities to support multiple sizes and simulate more complex systems
in the future as required.

Basically, we have

1. Use MADV_PAGEPUT for rapid swap-out, putting the swap allocation
   code under high exercise in a short time.

2. Use MADV_DONTNEED to simulate the behavior of libc and Java heap in
   freeing memory, as well as for munmap, app exits, or OOM killer
   scenarios.  This ensures new mTHP is always generated, released or
   swapped out, similar to the behavior on a PC or Android phone where
   many applications are frequently started and terminated.

3. Swap in with or without the "-a" option to observe how fragments
   due to swap-in and the incoming swap-in of large folios will impact
   swap-out fallback.

Due to 2, we ensure a certain proportion of mTHP.  Similarly, because of
3, we maintain a certain proportion of small folios, as we don't support
large folios swap-in, meaning any swap-in will immediately result in small
folios.  Therefore, with both 2 and 3, we automatically achieve a system
containing both mTHP and small folios.  Additionally, 1 provides the
ability to continuously swap them out.

We can also use "-s" to add a dedicated small folios memory area.
