<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Clean up the IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED and submitter task checking,
   mostly just in preparation for relaxing the locking for SINGLE_ISSUER
   in the future.

 - Improve IOPOLL by using a doubly linked list to manage completions.

   Previously it was singly listed, which meant that to complete request
   N in the chain 0..N-1 had to have completed first. With a doubly
   linked list we can complete whatever request completes in that order,
   rather than need to wait for a consecutive range to be available.
   This reduces latencies.

 - Improve the restriction setup and checking. Mostly in preparation for
   adding further features on top of that. Coming in a separate pull
   request.

 - Split out task_work and wait handling into separate files. These are
   mostly nicely abstracted already, but still remained in the
   io_uring.c file which is on the larger side.

 - Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT in a few more spots, where appropriate.

 - Ensure even the idle io-wq worker exits if a task no longer has any
   rings open.

 - Add support for a non-circular submission queue.

   By default, the SQ ring keeps moving around, even if only a few
   entries are used for each submission. This can be wasteful in terms
   of cachelines.

   If IORING_SETUP_SQ_REWIND is set for the ring when created, each
   submission will start at offset 0 instead of where we last left off
   doing submissions.

 - Various little cleanups

 - Removed dead argument length for io_uring_validate_mmap_request()

 - Use GFP_NOWAIT for overflow CQEs on legacy ring setups rather than
   GFP_ATOMIC, which makes it play nicer with memcg limits

 - Fix a potential circular locking issue with tctx node removal and
   exec based cancelations

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

  "__vmalloc()/kvmalloc() and no-block support" (Uladzislau Rezki)
     Rework the vmalloc() code to support non-blocking allocations
     (GFP_ATOIC, GFP_NOWAIT)

  "ksm: fix exec/fork inheritance" (xu xin)
     Fix a rare case where the KSM MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY prctl state is not
     inherited across fork/exec

     Some light maintenance work on the zswap code

  "mm/page_owner: add debugfs files 'show_handles' and 'show_stacks_handles'" (Mauricio Faria de Oliveira)

     unique identifiers to differentiate the various stack traces so
     that userspace monitoring tools can better match stack traces over
     time

  "mm/page_alloc: pcp-&gt;batch cleanups" (Joshua Hahn)
     Minor alterations to the page allocator's per-cpu-pages feature

  "Improve UFFDIO_MOVE scalability by removing anon_vma lock" (Lokesh Gidra)

     Remove some now-unnecessary work from page reclaim

  "mm/damon: allow DAMOS auto-tuned for per-memcg per-node memory usage" (SeongJae Park)

  "Fix stale IOTLB entries for kernel address space" (Lu Baolu)
     Fix a bug (and possible security issue on non-x86) in the IOMMU
     code. In some situations the IOMMU could be left hanging onto a

     Clean up and optimize the folio splitting code

  "mm, swap: misc cleanup and bugfix" (Kairui Song)

     improve the selection of swap devices for NUMA machines

  "mm: Convert memory block states (MEM_*) macros to enums" (Israel Batista)
     Change the memory block labels from macros to enums so they will

     Fix leaks and unhandled malloc() failures in DAMON userspace unit
     tests

     Make the VMA guard regions available in /proc/pid/smaps and
     improves the mergeability of guarded VMAs

  "mm: perform guard region install/remove under VMA lock" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     Reduce mmap lock contention for callers performing VMA guard region
     operations

  "vma_start_write_killable" (Matthew Wilcox)
     Start work on permitting applications to be killed when they are
     waiting on a read_lock on the VMA lock

     concept of 'software leaf entries', of type softleaf_t

     Reparent the THP split queue to its parent memcg. This is in
     preparation for addressing the long-standing "dying memcg" problem,

  "make vmalloc gfp flags usage more apparent" (Vishal Moola)
     Clean up vmalloc's handling of incoming GFP flags

  "mm: Add soft-dirty and uffd-wp support for RISC-V" (Chunyan Zhang)
     Teach soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking to use
     RISC-V's Svrsw60t59b extension

  "mm: swap: small fixes and comment cleanups" (Youngjun Park)
     Fix a small bug and clean up some of the swap code

     stop running out of them, especially on 32-bit

  "mm/swapfile: fix and cleanup swap list iterations" (Youngjun Park)
     Address a possible bug in the swap discard code and clean things
     up a little

<title>mm: consistently use current-&gt;mm in mm_get_unmapped_area()</title>

<id>9ac09bb9feaccc2f45e5606dc48a3f748d478dc4</id>
<content type='text'>
mm_get_unmapped_area() is a wrapper around arch_get_unmapped_area() /
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), both of which search current-&gt;mm for
some free space.  Neither take an mm_struct - they implicitly operate on
current-&gt;mm.

But the wrapper takes an mm_struct and uses it to decide whether to search
bottom up or top down.  All callers pass in current-&gt;mm for this, so
everything is working consistently.  But it feels like an accident waiting
to happen; eventually someone will call that function with a different mm,
expecting to find free space in it, but what gets returned is free space
in the current mm.

So let's simplify by removing the parameter and have the wrapper use
current-&gt;mm to decide which end to start at.  Now everything is consistent
and self-documenting.

utility helper function that returns the size and handles type
conversions right.
