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>memcg-v1: no need for memcg locking for dirty tracking</title>

During the era of memcg charge migration, the kernel has to be make
sure that the dirty stat updates do not race with the charge migration.
Otherwise it might update the dirty stats of the wrong memcg.  Now
with the memcg charge migration gone, there is no more race for dirty
stat updates and the previous locking can be removed.

<title>fs/writeback: convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner to take a folio</title>

<content type='text'>
Most of the callers of wbc_account_cgroup_owner() are converting a folio
to page before calling the function. wbc_account_cgroup_owner() is
converting the page back to a folio to call mem_cgroup_css_from_folio().

Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio instead of a page,
and convert all callers to pass a folio directly except f2fs.

Convert the page to folio for all the callers from f2fs as they were the
only callers calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a page. As f2fs is
already in the process of converting to folios, these call sites might
also soon be calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a folio directly in
the future.

No functional changes. Only compile tested.

The mappedtodisk flag is only meaningful for buffer head based
filesystems.  It should not be cleared for other filesystems.  This allows
us to reuse the mappedtodisk flag to have other meanings in filesystems
that do not use buffer heads.
