Pull hotfixes from Andrew Morton:
 "19 hotfixes.  8 of these are cc:stable.

  This includes a wholesale reversion of the post-6.4 series 'make slab
  shrink lockless'. After input from Dave Chinner it has been decided
  that we should go a different way [1]"

This reverts commit f95bdb700bc6bb74e1199b1f5f90c613e152cfa7.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless").  The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly.  That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.

After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink.  So
revert the shrinker_srcu related changes first.

This reverts commit b3cabea3c9153fd42fe5cb851ac58b51ea2b32b8.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be careful
to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits. Therefore,
even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical section,
synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why unregister_shrinker()
has become slower.

We will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed by Dave Chinner
to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. Because there will
be other readers after reverting the shrinker_srcu related changes, so
it is better to restore to hold read lock to reparent shrinker nr_deferred.

This reverts commit b3cabea3c9153fd42fe5cb851ac58b51ea2b32b8.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be careful
to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits. Therefore,
even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical section,
synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why unregister_shrinker()
has become slower.

We will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed by Dave Chinner
to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. Because there will
be other readers after reverting the shrinker_srcu related changes, so
it is better to restore to hold read lock to reparent shrinker nr_deferred.

<title>mm/khugepaged: fix iteration in collapse_file</title>

<id>c8a8f3b4a95ace7683b615ad9c9aa0eac59013ae</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove an unnecessary call to xas_set(index) when iterating over the
target range in collapse_file.  The extra call to xas_set reset the xas
cursor to the top of the tree, causing the xas_next call on the next
iteration to walk the tree to index instead of advancing to index+1.  This
returned the same page again, which would cause collapse_file to fail
because the page is already locked.

This bug was hidden when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was set.  When that config was
used, the xas_load in a subsequent VM_BUG_ON assert would walk xas from
the top of the tree to index, causing the xas_next call on the next loop
iteration to advance the cursor as expected.
