Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-01-08-15-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
- Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series
'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
'Some cleanups of maple tree'
- In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.
- Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
in the patch series
'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
'Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio'
'Finish two folio conversions'
'More swap folio conversions'
- Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'
- Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
'tweak kmemleak report format'.
- In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
of no longer needed stack traces.
- Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.
- Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.
- Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.
- Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.
- DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
series
'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'
- Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.
- In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
anonymous page faults.
- Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
cleanups'.
- Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.
- Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.
- Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback
code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the
writeback paths'.
- Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free
stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan:
save mempool stack traces'.
- Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
'kasan: assorted clean-ups'.
- David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more
pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap:
interface overhaul'.
- Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code
in the series 'mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup'.
- Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code cleanups
in the series 'Remove some lruvec page accounting functions'"
