sysctl: clarify register_sysctl_init() base directory order

2023-05-17T09:53:46Z

commit 228b09de936395ddd740df3522ea35ae934830d8 upstream. Relatively new docs which I added which hinted the base directories needed to be created before is wrong, remove that incorrect comment. This has been hinted before by Eric twice already [0] [1], I had just not verified that until now. Now that I've verified that updates the docs to relax the context described.

proc_sysctl: enhance documentation

2023-05-17T09:53:45Z

commit 1dc8689e4cc651e21566e10206a84c4006e81fb1 upstream. Expand documentation to clarify: o that paths don't need to exist for the new API callers o clarify that we *require* callers to keep the memory of the table around during the lifetime of the sysctls o annotate routines we are trying to deprecate and later remove Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.17 Cc: Christian Brauner Cc: Kefeng Wang Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

proc_sysctl: update docs for __register_sysctl_table()

2023-05-17T09:53:45Z

commit 67ff32289acad9ed338cd9f2351b44939e55163e upstream. Update the docs for __register_sysctl_table() to make it clear no child entries can be passed. When the child is true these are non-leaf entries on the ctl table and sysctl treats these as directories. The point to __register_sysctl_table() is to deal only with directories not part of the ctl table where thay may riside, to be simple and avoid recursion. While at it, hint towards using long on extra1 and extra2 later.

mm: hugetlb: proc: check for hugetlb shared PMD in /proc/PID/smaps

2023-02-09T10:28:20Z

commit 3489dbb696d25602aea8c3e669a6d43b76bd5358 upstream. Patch series "Fixes for hugetlb mapcount at most 1 for shared PMDs". This issue of mapcount in hugetlb pages referenced by shared PMDs was discussed in [1]. The following two patches address user visible behavior caused by this issue. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Y9BF+OCdWnCSilEu@monkey/ This patch (of 2): A hugetlb page will have a mapcount of 1 if mapped by multiple processes via a shared PMD. This is because only the first process increases the map count, and subsequent processes just add the shared PMD page to their page table. page_mapcount is being used to decide if a hugetlb page is shared or private in /proc/PID/smaps. Pages referenced via a shared PMD were incorrectly being counted as private. To fix, check for a shared PMD if mapcount is 1. If a shared PMD is found count the hugetlb page as shared. A new helper to check for a shared PMD is added.

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

2023-02-09T10:28:04Z

[ Upstream commit de4eda9de2d957ef2d6a8365a01e26a435e958cb ] READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way. Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder to misinterpret...

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.
