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->index removals in mm" from Matthew Wilcox remove most references to page->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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZzwFqgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jkeuAQCkl+BmeYHE6uG0hi3pRxkupseR6DEOAYIiTv0/l8/GggD/Z3jmEeqnZaNq xyyenpibWgUoShU2wZ/Ha8FE5WDINwg= =JfWR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-11-18-19-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "zram: optimal post-processing target selection" from Sergey Senozhatsky improves zram's post-processing selection algorithm.
