Merge tag 'mm-stable-2022-05-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
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" * tag 'mm-stable-2022-05-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (381 commits) mm: kfence: use PAGE_ALIGNED helper selftests: vm: add the "settings" file with timeout variable selftests: vm: add "test_hmm.sh" to TEST_FILES selftests: vm: check numa_available() before operating "merge_across_nodes" in ksm_tests selftests: vm: add migration to the .gitignore selftests/vm/pkeys: fix typo in comment ksm: fix typo in comment selftests: vm: add process_mrelease tests Revert "mm/vmscan: never demote for memcg reclaim" mm/kfence: print disabling or re-enabling message include/trace/events/percpu.h: cleanup for "percpu: improve percpu_alloc_percpu event trace" include/trace/events/mmflags.h: cleanup for "tracing: incorrect gfp_t conversion" mm: fix a potential infinite loop in start_isolate_page_range() MAINTAINERS: add Muchun as co-maintainer for HugeTLB zram: fix Kconfig dependency warning mm/shmem: fix shmem folio swapoff hang cgroup: fix an error handling path in alloc_pagecache_max_30M() mm: damon: use HPAGE_PMD_SIZE tracing: incorrect isolate_mote_t cast in mm_vmscan_lru_isolate nodemask.h: fix compilation error with GCC12 ...
