treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.

- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.

- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.

- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.

- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.

- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.

user-visible output.

- The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes

behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.

- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.

- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.

- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.

- The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
for pte-mapped large folios.

- The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for

microbenchmark.

code.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Mount notifications

   The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
   mount topology changes outside of /proc//mountinfo. A mount
   namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
   fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.

   Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
   generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
   mount id of the mount.

   The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
   information about the mount using the received unique mount id.

   This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
   changed without having to generating diffs of /proc//mountinfo
   in userspace.

 - Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
   api

 - Support detached mounts in overlayfs

   Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
   descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
   userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
   open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
   attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.

   This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
   Allow them to directly use detached mounts.

 - Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount

   Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
   attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
   allows to read the idmapping from the mount.

 - Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped

   So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
   from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
   implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
   pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
   allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
   way.

   The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
   mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
   for userspace.

 - Add a way to query statmount() for supported options

   Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
   through statmount().

 - Allow superblock owners to force unmount

tty: srmcons: fix retval from srmcons_init()

2025-03-20T15:00:51+00:00

The value returned from srmcons_init() was -ENODEV for over 2 decades.
But it does not matter, given device_initcall() ignores retvals.

But to be honest, return 0 in case the tty driver was registered
properly.

To do that, the condition is inverted and a short path taken in case of
error.

err_free_drv is introduced as it will be used from more places later.

arch, mm: make releasing of memory to page allocator more explicit

2025-03-18T05:06:53+00:00

The point where the memory is released from memblock to the buddy
allocator is hidden inside arch-specific mem_init()s and the call to
memblock_free_all() is needlessly duplicated in every artiste cure and
after introduction of arch_mm_preinit() hook, mem_init() implementation on
many architecture only contains the call to memblock_free_all().

Pull memblock_free_all() call into mm_core_init() and drop mem_init() on
relevant architectures to make it more explicit where the free memory is
released from memblock to the buddy allocator and to reduce code
duplication in architecture specific code.

arch, mm: set high_memory in free_area_init()

2025-03-18T05:06:52+00:00

high_memory defines upper bound on the directly mapped memory.  This bound
is defined by the beginning of ZONE_HIGHMEM when a system has high memory
and by the end of memory otherwise.

All this is known to generic memory management initialization code that
can set high_memory while initializing core mm structures.

Add a generic calculation of high_memory to free_area_init() and remove
per-architecture calculation except for the architectures that set and use
high_memory earlier than that.

arch, mm: set max_mapnr when allocating memory map for FLATMEM

2025-03-18T05:06:52+00:00

max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use
FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture
when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map().

Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in
alloc_node_mem_map().

While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so
there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.
