[ Upstream commit 30176bf7c871681df506f3165ffe76ec462db991 ]

Phase-adjust values are currently limited by a min-max range. Some
hardware requires, for certain pin types, that values be multiples of
a specific granularity, as in the zl3073x driver.

Add a `phase-adjust-gran` pin attribute and an appropriate field in
dpll_pin_properties. If set by the driver, use its value to validate
user-provided phase-adjust values.

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration:

   - Add PCI_FIND_NEXT_CAP() and PCI_FIND_NEXT_EXT_CAP() macros that
     take config space accessor functions.

     Implement pci_find_capability(), pci_find_ext_capability(), and
     dwc, dwc endpoint, and cadence capability search interfaces with
     them (Hans Zhang)

   - Leave parent unit address 0 in 'interrupt-map' so that when we
     build devicetree nodes to describe PCI functions that contain
     multiple peripherals, we can build this property even when
     interrupt controllers lack 'reg' properties (Lorenzo Pieralisi)

   - Add a Xeon 6 quirk to disable Extended Tags and limit Max Read
     Request Size to 128B to avoid a performance issue (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Add sysfs 'serial_number' file to expose the Device Serial Number
     (Matthew Wood)

   - Fix pci_acpi_preserve_config() memory leak (Nirmoy Das)

  Resource management:

   - Align m68k pcibios_enable_device() with other arches (Ilpo
     Järvinen)

   - Remove sparc pcibios_enable_device() implementations that don't do
     anything beyond what pci_enable_resources() does (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Remove mips pcibios_enable_resources() and use
     pci_enable_resources() instead (Ilpo Järvinen)

   - Clean up bridge window sizing and assignment (Ilpo Järvinen),
     including:

       - Leave non-claimed bridge windows disabled

       - Enable bridges even if a window wasn't assigned because not all
         windows are required by downstream devices

       - Preserve bridge window type when releasing the resource, since
         the type is needed for reassignment

       - Consolidate selection of bridge windows into two new
         interfaces, pbus_select_window() and
         pbus_select_window_for_type(), so this is done consistently

       - Compute bridge window start and end earlier to avoid logging
         stale information

  MSI:

   - Add quirk to disable MSI on RDC PCI to PCIe bridges (Marcos Del Sol
     Vives)

  Error handling:

   - Align AER with EEH by allowing drivers to request a Bus Reset on
     Non-Fatal Errors (in addition to the reset on Fatal Errors that we
     already do) (Lukas Wunner)

   - If error recovery fails, emit FAILED_RECOVERY uevents for the
     devices, not for the bridge leading to them.

     This makes them correspond to BEGIN_RECOVERY uevents (Lukas Wunner)

   - Align AER with EEH by calling err_handler.error_detected()
     callbacks to notify drivers if error recovery fails (Lukas Wunner)

   - Align AER with EEH by restoring device error_state to
     pci_channel_io_normal before the err_handler.slot_reset() callback.

     This is earlier than before the err_handler.resume() callback
     (Lukas Wunner)

   - Emit a BEGIN_RECOVERY uevent when driver's
     err_handler.error_detected() requests a reset, as well as when it
     says recovery is complete or can be done without a reset (Niklas
     Schnelle)

   - Align s390 with AER and EEH by emitting uevents during error
     recovery (Niklas Schnelle)

   - Align EEH with AER and s390 by emitting BEGIN_RECOVERY,
     SUCCESSFUL_RECOVERY, or FAILED_RECOVERY uevents depending on the
     result of err_handler.error_detected() (Niklas Schnelle)

   - Fix a NULL pointer dereference in aer_ratelimit() when ACPI GHES
     error information identifies a device without an AER Capability
     (Breno Leitao)

   - Update error decoding and TLP Log printing for new errors in
     current PCIe base spec (Lukas Wunner)

   - Update error recovery documentation to match the current code
     and use consistent nomenclature (Lukas Wunner)

  ASPM:

   - Enable all ClockPM and ASPM states for devicetree platforms, since
     there's typically no firmware that enables ASPM

     This is a risky change that may uncover hardware or configuration
     defects at boot-time rather than when users enable ASPM via sysfs
     later. Booting with "pcie_aspm=off" prevents this enabling
     (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Remove the qcom code that enabled ASPM (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

  Power management:

   - If a device has already been disconnected, e.g., by a hotplug
     removal, don't bother trying to resume it to D0 when detaching the
     driver.

     This avoids annoying "Unable to change power state from D3cold to
     D0" messages (Mario Limonciello)

   - Ensure devices are powered up before config reads for
     'max_link_width', 'current_link_speed', 'current_link_width',
     'secondary_bus_number', and 'subordinate_bus_number' sysfs files.

     This prevents using invalid data (~0) in drivers or lspci and,
     depending on how the PCIe controller reports errors, may avoid
     error interrupts or crashes (Brian Norris)

  Virtualization:

   - Add rescan/remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV, which
     avoids list corruption on s390, where disabling SR-IOV also
     generates hotplug events (Niklas Schnelle)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Free struct p2p_pgmap, not a member within it, in the
     pci_p2pdma_add_resource() error path (Sungho Kim)

  Endpoint framework:

   - Document sysfs interface for BAR assignment of vNTB endpoint
     functions (Jerome Brunet)

   - Fix array underflow in endpoint BAR test case (Dan Carpenter)

   - Skip endpoint IRQ test if the IRQ is out of range to avoid false
     errors (Christian Bruel)

   - Fix endpoint test case for controllers with fixed-size BARs smaller
     than requested by the test (Marek Vasut)

   - Restore inbound translation when disabling doorbell so the endpoint
     doorbell test case can be run more than once (Niklas Cassel)

   - Avoid a NULL pointer dereference when releasing DMA channels in
     endpoint DMA test case (Shin'ichiro Kawasaki)

   - Convert tegra194 interrupt number to MSI vector to fix endpoint
     Kselftest MSI_TEST test case (Niklas Cassel)

   - Reset tegra194 BARs when running in endpoint mode so the BAR tests
     don't overwrite the ATU settings in BAR4 (Niklas Cassel)

   - Handle errors in tegra194 BPMP transactions so we don't mistakenly
     skip future PERST# assertion (Vidya Sagar)

  AMD MDB PCIe controller driver:

   - Update DT binding example to separate PERST# to a Root Port stanza
     to make multiple Root Ports possible in the future (Sai Krishna
     Musham)

   - Add driver support for PERST# being described in a Root Port
     stanza, falling back to the host bridge if not found there (Sai
     Krishna Musham)

  Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:

   - Enable the 3.3V Vaux supply if available so devices can request
     wakeup with either Beacon or WAKE# (Richard Zhu)

  MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:

   - Add optional sys clock ready time setting to avoid sys_clk_rdy
     signal glitching in MT6991 and MT8196 (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)

   - Add DT binding and driver support for MT6991 and MT8196
     (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno)

  NVIDIA Tegra PCIe controller driver:

   - When asserting PERST#, disable the controller instead of mistakenly
     disabling the PLL twice (Nagarjuna Kristam)

   - Convert struct tegra_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
     nesting error (Marek Vasut)

  Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

   - Select PCI Power Control Slot driver so slot voltage rails can be
     turned on/off if described in Root Port devicetree node (Qiang Yu)

   - Parse only PCI bridge child nodes in devicetree, skipping unrelated
     nodes such as OPP (Operating Performance Points), which caused
     probe failures (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Add 8.0 GT/s and 32.0 GT/s equalization settings (Ziyue Zhang)

   - Consolidate Root Port 'phy' and 'reset' properties in struct
     qcom_pcie_port, regardless of whether we got them from the Root
     Port node or the host bridge node (Manivannan Sadhasivam)

   - Fetch and map the ELBI register space in the DWC core rather than
     in each driver individually (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)

   - Enable ECAM mechanism in DWC core by setting up iATU with 'CFG
     Shift Feature' and use this in the qcom driver (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Add SM8750 compatible to qcom,pcie-sm8550.yaml (Krishna Chaitanya
     Chundru)

   - Update qcom,pcie-x1e80100.yaml to allow fifth PCIe host on Qualcomm
     Glymur, which is compatible with X1E80100 but doesn't have the
     cnoc_sf_axi clock (Qiang Yu)

  Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver:

   - Fix a typo that prevented correct PHY initialization (Marek Vasut)

   - Add a missing 1ms delay after PWR reset assertion as required by
     the V4H manual (Marek Vasut)

   - Assure reset has completed before DBI access to avoid SError (Marek
     Vasut)

   - Fix inverted PHY initialization check, which sometimes led to
     timeouts and failure to start the controller (Marek Vasut)

   - Pass the correct IRQ domain to generic_handle_domain_irq() to fix a
     regression when converting to msi_create_parent_irq_domain()
     (Claudiu Beznea)

   - Drop the spinlock protecting the PMSR register - it's no longer
     required since pci_lock already serializes accesses (Marek Vasut)

   - Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
     nesting error (Marek Vasut)

  SOPHGO PCIe controller driver:

   - Check for existence of struct cdns_pcie.ops before using it to
     allow Cadence drivers that don't need to supply ops (Chen Wang)

   - Add DT binding and driver for the SOPHGO SG2042 PCIe controller
     (Chen Wang)

  STMicroelectronics STM32MP25 PCIe controller driver:

   - Update pinctrl documentation of initial states and use in runtime
     suspend/resume (Christian Bruel)

   - Add pinctrl_pm_select_init_state() for use by stm32 driver, which
     needs it during resume (Christian Bruel)

   - Add devicetree bindings and drivers for the STMicroelectronics
     STM32MP25 in host and endpoint modes (Christian Bruel)

  Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:

   - Add support for x16 in devicetree 'num-lanes' property (Konrad
     Dybcio)

   - Verify that if DT specifies a single IRQ for all eDMA channels, it
     is named 'dma' (Niklas Cassel)

  TI J721E PCIe driver:

   - Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() so driver can be autoloaded (Siddharth
     Vadapalli)

   - Power controller off before configuring the glue layer so the
     controller latches the correct values on power-on (Siddharth
     Vadapalli)

  TI Keystone PCIe controller driver:

   - Use devm_request_irq() so 'ks-pcie-error-irq' is freed when driver
     exits with error (Siddharth Vadapalli)

   - Add Peripheral Virtualization Unit (PVU), which restricts DMA from
     PCIe devices to specific regions of host memory, to the ti,am65
     binding (Jan Kiszka)

  Xilinx NWL PCIe controller driver:

   - Clear bootloader E_ECAM_CONTROL before merging in the new driver
     value to avoid writing invalid values (Jani Nurminen)"

     the V4H manual (Marek Vasut)

   - Assure reset has completed before DBI access to avoid SError (Marek
     Vasut)

   - Fix inverted PHY initialization check, which sometimes led to
     timeouts and failure to start the controller (Marek Vasut)

     regression when converting to msi_create_parent_irq_domain()
     (Claudiu Beznea)

   - Drop the spinlock protecting the PMSR register - it's no longer
     required since pci_lock already serializes accesses (Marek Vasut)

   - Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock
     nesting error (Marek Vasut)

  SOPHGO PCIe controller driver:

   - Check for existence of struct cdns_pcie.ops before using it to

     Dybcio)

   - Verify that if DT specifies a single IRQ for all eDMA channels, it
     is named 'dma' (Niklas Cassel)

  TI J721E PCIe driver:

   - Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() so driver can be autoloaded (Siddharth
     Vadapalli)

   - Power controller off before configuring the glue layer so the
     controller latches the correct values on power-on (Siddharth
     Vadapalli)

  TI Keystone PCIe controller driver:

   - Use devm_request_irq() so 'ks-pcie-error-irq' is freed when driver
     exits with error (Siddharth Vadapalli)

 "It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all

   - Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
     kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
     converted to Python and updated for current systems.

   - A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate

     hosting the rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.

   - Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm, swap: improve cluster scan strategy" from Kairui Song improves
   performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation

 - "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool
   permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when

   DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual
   address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters

 - "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of
   /proc/pid/maps

 - "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song
   performs some cleanup in the swap code

 - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides
   code cleanup in the pagemap code

 - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides
   a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
   huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
   falls to zero

 - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to
   the recently added Kexec Handover feature

 - "mm: make mm-&gt;flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant
   struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's
   needs

 - "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap
   code

 - "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from
   Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code

 - "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised"
   from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
   THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
   system".

   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

 - "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
   the memdesc project. Please see

      https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
      https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

 - "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling
   improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path

 - "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our
   folio splitting selftest code

 - "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap
   selftests

 - "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that
   function and converts its two remaining callers

 - "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD
   selftests issues

 - "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces
   the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to
   account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the
   cgroups of random inappropriate tasks

 - "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from
   Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator
   code

 - "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON
   to understand arm32 highmem

 - "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from
   Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under
   tools/testing/

 - "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes
   a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c

 - "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
   implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific
   initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation

 - "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an
   indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
   (zsmalloc)

 - "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a
   couple of cleanups in the fork code

 - "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
   adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
   the removal of that undesirable helper function

 - "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
   creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
   memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
   suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

 - "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does
   some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

 - "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
   Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
   about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
   of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
   their own const/non-const accuracy

 - "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
   code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
   __free_pages()

 - "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
   mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
   forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver

 - "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
   improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to
   the thp selftesting code

 - "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris
   Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing
   "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking
   which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This
   patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations

 - "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc
   layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little

 - "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some
   issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code

 - "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
   allocation profiling feature

 - "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
   preparation for more memdesc work

 - "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
   Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
   arm highmem

 - "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
   Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
   fallout, by removing dead code

 - "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
   Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
   killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
   they can release resources

 - "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
   is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON

 - "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from
   SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements
   to a recently-added bug fix

 - "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from
   SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients
   of the DAMON_STAT information

 - "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes
   some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
   increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma

 - "mm: do not assume file == vma-&gt;vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
   file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
   the treatment of stacked filesystems

 - "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
   provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
   folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

 - "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from
   Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across
   forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters

 - "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei Yang addresses
   some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's mm_slot handling

 - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides
   code cleanup in the pagemap code

 - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides
   a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
   huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
   falls to zero

 - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to
   the recently added Kexec Handover feature

 - "mm: make mm-&gt;flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant
   struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's
   needs

 - "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap
   code

 - "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from
   Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code

 - "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised"
   from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
   THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
   system".

   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

 - "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
   the memdesc project. Please see

      https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
      https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

 - "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling
   improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path

 - "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD
   selftests issues

 - "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces
   the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to
   account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the
   cgroups of random inappropriate tasks

 - "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from
   Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator
   code

 - "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON
   to understand arm32 highmem

   implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific
   initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation

 - "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an
   indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
   (zsmalloc)

 - "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a
   couple of cleanups in the fork code

 - "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
   adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
   the removal of that undesirable helper function

 - "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
   creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
   memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
   suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

 - "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does
   some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

 - "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
   Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
   about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
   of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
   their own const/non-const accuracy

 - "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
   code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
   __free_pages()

 - "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
   mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
   forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver

   Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing
   "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking
   which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This
   patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations

 - "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc
   layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little

 - "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some
   issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code

 - "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
   allocation profiling feature

 - "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
   preparation for more memdesc work

 - "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
   Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
   arm highmem

 - "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
   Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
   fallout, by removing dead code

 - "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
   Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
   killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
   they can release resources

 - "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
   is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON

 - "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from
   SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements

   some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
   increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma

 - "mm: do not assume file == vma-&gt;vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
   file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
   the treatment of stacked filesystems

 - "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
   provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
   folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

 - "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from
   Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Improve drop account scalability on NUMA hosts for RAW and UDP
     sockets and the backlog, almost doubling the Pps capacity under DoS

   - Optimize the UDP RX performance under stress, reducing contention,
     revisiting the binary layout of the involved data structs and
     implementing NUMA-aware locking. This improves UDP RX performance
     by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions

   - Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism
     has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW
     offloads capabilities

   - Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more
     than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building
     block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S)

   - Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing
     the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath

   - Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA
     hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on
     such HW

   - Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to
     better fit modern link speeds

   - Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making
     dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded
     synchronize_rcu() on delete

   - Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per
     bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of
     magnitude faster on large switches

   - Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO
     segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios

   - Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets

   - Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently
     introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting
     recent TCP autotuning changes

   - Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is
     administratively down

   - Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per
     connection and simplify common MPTCP setups

   - Add RCU safety to dst-&gt;dev, closing a lot of possible races

   - A significant crypto library API for SCTP, MPTCP and IPv6 SR,
     reducing code duplication

   - Supports pulling data from an skb frag into the linear area of an
     XDP buffer

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Generate netlink documentation from YAML using an integrated YAML
     parser

  Driver API:

   - Support using IPv6 Flow Label in Rx hash computation and RSS queue
     selection

   - Introduce API for fetching the DMA device for a given queue,
     allowing TCP zerocopy RX on more H/W setups

   - Make XDP helpers compatible with unreadable memory, allowing more
     easily building DevMem-enabled drivers with a unified XDP/skbs
     datapath

   - Add a new dedicated ethtool callback enabling drivers to provide
     the number of RX rings directly, improving efficiency and clarity
     in RX ring queries and RSS configuration

   - Introduce a burst period for the health reporter, allowing better
     handling of multiple errors due to the same root cause

   - Support for DPLL phase offset exponential moving average,
     controlling the average smoothing factor

  Device drivers:

   - Add a new Huawei driver for 3rd gen NIC (hinic3)

   - Add a new SpacemiT driver for K1 ethernet MAC

   - Add a generic abstraction for shared memory communication
     devices (dibps)

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - nVidia/Mellanox:
         - Use multiple per-queue doorbell, to avoid MMIO contention
           issues
         - support adjacent functions, allowing them to delegate their
           SR-IOV VFs to sibling PFs
         - support RSS for IPSec offload
         - support exposing raw cycle counters in PTP and mlx5
         - support for disabling host PFs.
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - ice: support for SRIOV VFs over an Active-Active link
           aggregate
         - ice: support for firmware logging via debugfs
         - ice: support for Earliest TxTime First (ETF) hardware offload
         - idpf: support basic XDP functionalities and XSk
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
         - support Hyper-V VF ID
         - dynamic SRIOV resource allocations for RoCE
      - Meta (fbnic):
         - support queue API, zero-copy Rx and Tx
         - support basic XDP functionalities
