Pull remaining MM updates from Andrew Morton: "Three patch series - two that perform cleanups and one feature: - hugetlb_vmemmap cleanups from Muchun Song - hardware poisoning support for 1GB hugepages, from Naoya Horiguchi - highmem documentation fixups from Fabio De Francesco" * tag 'mm-stable-2022-08-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (23 commits) Documentation/mm: add details about kmap_local_page() and preemption highmem: delete a sentence from kmap_local_page() kdocs Documentation/mm: rrefer kmap_local_page() and avoid kmap() Documentation/mm: avoid invalid use of addresses from kmap_local_page() Documentation/mm: don't kmap*() pages which can't come from HIGHMEM highmem: specify that kmap_local_page() is callable from interrupts highmem: remove unneeded spaces in kmap_local_page() kdocs mm, hwpoison: enable memory error handling on 1GB hugepage mm, hwpoison: skip raw hwpoison page in freeing 1GB hugepage mm, hwpoison: make __page_handle_poison returns int mm, hwpoison: set PG_hwpoison for busy hugetlb pages mm, hwpoison: make unpoison aware of raw error info in hwpoisoned hugepage mm, hwpoison, hugetlb: support saving mechanism of raw error pages mm/hugetlb: make pud_huge() and follow_huge_pud() aware of non-present pud entry mm/hugetlb: check gigantic_page_runtime_supported() in return_unused_surplus_pages() mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: use PTRS_PER_PTE instead of PMD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: move code comments to vmemmap_dedup.rst mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: improve hugetlb_vmemmap code readability mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: replace early_param() with core_param() mm: hugetlb_vmemmap: move vmemmap code related to HugeTLB to hugetlb_vmemmap.c ...
