Patch series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".
Computers are bad at division. We currently decide the best zspage chain
size (max number of physical pages per-zspage) by looking at a `used
percentage` value. This is not enough as we lose precision during usage
percentage calculations For example, let's look at size class 208:
pages per zspage wasted bytes used%
1 144 96
2 80 99
3 16 99
4 160 99
Current algorithm will select 2 page per zspage configuration, as it's the
first one to reach 99%. However, 3 pages per zspage waste less memory.
Change algorithm and select zspage configuration that has lowest wasted
value.

page_ext must be initialized after all struct pages are initialized.
Therefore, page_ext is initialized after page_alloc_init_late(), and can
optionally be initialized earlier via early_page_ext kernel parameter
which as a side effect also disables deferred struct pages.
Allow to automatically init page_ext early when there are no deferred
struct pages in order to be able to use page_ext during kernel boot and
track for example page allocations early.

Sometimes there is no scheme in damon's context, for example just use damo
record to monitor workload's data access pattern.
If current damon context doesn't have any scheme in the list, kdamond has
no need to iterate over list of all targets and regions but do nothing.
So, skip apply schemes when ctx->schemes is empty.

Patch series "Some more filemap folio conversions".
Three more places which could easily be converted to folios. The third
one fixes a minor bug in readahead_expand(), but it's only a performance
bug and there are few users of readahead_expand(), so I don't think it's
worth backporting.
This patch (of 3):
Save a few calls to compound_head(). We specify exactly which page from
the folio to use by passing in start_pgoff, which means this will work for
a folio which is larger than PMD size. The rest of the VM isn't prepared
for that yet, but now this function is.

Convert function to use folios throughout. This is in preparation for the
removal of find_get_pages_range_tag(). This change removes 5 calls to
compound_head().
Initially the function was checking if the previous page index is truly
the previous page i.e. 1 index behind the current page. To convert to
folios and maintain this check we need to make the check folio->index !=
prev + folio_nr_pages(previous folio) since we don't know how many pages
are in a folio.
At index i == 0 the check is guaranteed to succeed, so to workaround
indexing bounds we can simply ignore the check for that specific index.
This makes the initial assignment of prev trivial, so I removed that as
well.
Also modify a comment in commit_checkpoint for consistency.

One noteable difference is filemap_get_folios_tag() does not take in a

The new function supports large folios, the initial function did not since

Pass vm_flags as a parameter to shmem_is_huge, rather than reading the

from hugepage_madvise to be passed to the check, which is necessary
because madvise does not update the vm_area_struct's flags until after
hugepage_madvise returns.
This fixes an issue when shmem_enabled=madvise, where MADV_HUGEPAGE on
shmem was not able to register the mm_struct with khugepaged. Prior to
cd89fb0650, the mm_struct was registered by MADV_HUGEPAGE regardless of

__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set
ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an
allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it
will succeed.
It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also
adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH
should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets.
__GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.
There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set.
__GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is
probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here.
__GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might
sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead.
This patch:
- removes __GFP_ATOMIC
- allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well
as GFP_ATOMIC requests.
- makes other adjustments as suggested by the above.
The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other
allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra
privileges. This affects:
xen, dm, md, ntfs3
the vermillion frame buffer
hibernation
ksm
swap
all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected
allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

GFP_ATOMIC allocations get flagged ALLOC_HARDER which is a vague
description. In preparation for the removal of GFP_ATOMIC redefine
__GFP_ATOMIC to simply mean non-blocking and renaming ALLOC_HARDER to
ALLOC_NON_BLOCK accordingly. __GFP_HIGH is required for access to
reserves but non-blocking is granted more access. For example, GFP_NOWAIT
is non-blocking but has no special access to reserves. A __GFP_NOFAIL
blocking allocation is granted access similar to __GFP_HIGH if the only
alternative is an OOM kill.

As there are more ALLOC_ flags that affect reserves, define what flags
affect reserves and clarify the effect of each flag.

A high-order ALLOC_HARDER allocation is assumed to be atomic. While that
is accurate, it changes later in the series. In preparation, explicitly
record high-order atomic allocations in gfp_to_alloc_flags().

RT tasks are allowed to dip below the min reserve but ALLOC_HARDER is
typically combined with ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE so RT tasks are a little
unusual. While there is some justification for allowing RT tasks access
to memory reserves, there is a strong chance that a RT task that is also
under memory pressure is at risk of missing deadlines anyway. Relax how
much reserves an RT task can access by treating it the same as __GFP_HIGH
allocations.
Note that in a future kernel release that the RT special casing will be
removed. Hard realtime tasks should be locking down resources in advance
and ensuring enough memory is available. Even a soft-realtime task like
audio or video live decoding which cannot jitter should be allocating both
memory and any disk space required up-front before the recording starts
instead of relying on reserves. At best, reserve access will only delay
the problem by a very short interval.

Patch series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC", v3.
Neil's patch has been residing in mm-unstable as commit 2fafb4fe8f7a ("mm:
discard __GFP_ATOMIC") for a long time and recently brought up again.
Most recently, I was worried that __GFP_HIGH allocations could use
high-order atomic reserves which is unintentional but there was no
response so lets revisit -- this series reworks how min reserves are used,
protects highorder reserves and then finishes with Neil's patch with very
minor modifications so it fits on top.
There was a review discussion on renaming __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM to
__GFP_ALLOW_BLOCKING but I didn't think it was that big an issue and is
orthogonal to the removal of __GFP_ATOMIC.
There were some concerns about how the gfp flags affect the min reserves
but it never reached a solid conclusion so I made my own attempt.
The series tries to iron out some of the details on how reserves are used.
ALLOC_HIGH becomes ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE and ALLOC_HARDER becomes
ALLOC_NON_BLOCK and documents how the reserves are affected. For example,
ALLOC_NON_BLOCK (no direct reclaim) on its own allows 25% of the min
reserve. ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE (__GFP_HIGH) allows 50% and both combined
allows deeper access again. ALLOC_OOM allows access to 75%.
High-order atomic allocations are explicitly handled with the caveat that
no __GFP_ATOMIC flag means that any high-order allocation that specifies
GFP_HIGH and cannot enter direct reclaim will be treated as if it was
GFP_ATOMIC.
This patch (of 6):
__GFP_HIGH aliases to ALLOC_HIGH but the name does not really hint what it
means. As ALLOC_HIGH is internal to the allocator, rename it to
ALLOC_MIN_RESERVE to document that the min reserves can be depleted.
