pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements
to the page allocator code.

Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code.
- The 37 patch series "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.
- The 2 patch series "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from

split_pte_mapped_thp improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and
some cleanups to the thp selftesting code.
- The 14 patch series "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.
- The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.
- The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from

warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.
- The 10 patch series "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.

userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
- The 2 patch series "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.
- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->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.
- The 6 patch series "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.
- The 2 patch series "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.

Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
mm_slot handling.

- Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
- Target lockdep assertions (Max)
- Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
- Suspend quirk (Georg)
- MD pull request via Yu:
- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.
- A few s390 dasd block fixes
- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.
We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
only the request as a whole needs to.
- Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
payloads
- Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate
- Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections
- Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs
- Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device

Merge tag 'for-6.18/io_uring-20250929' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux
Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Store ring provided buffers locally for the users, rather than stuff
them into struct io_kiocb.
These types of buffers must always be fully consumed or recycled in
the current context, and leaving them in struct io_kiocb is hence not
a good ideas as that struct has a vastly different life time.
Basically just an architecture cleanup that can help prevent issues
with ring provided buffers in the future.
- Support for mixed CQE sizes in the same ring.
Before this change, a CQ ring either used the default 16b CQEs, or it
was setup with 32b CQE using IORING_SETUP_CQE32. For use cases where
a few 32b CQEs were needed, this caused everything else to use big
CQEs. This is wasteful both in terms of memory usage, but also memory
bandwidth for the posted CQEs.
With IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED, applications may use request types that
post both normal 16b and big 32b CQEs on the same ring.
- Add helpers for async data management, to make it harder for opcode
handlers to mess it up.
- Add support for multishot for uring_cmd, which ublk can use. This
helps improve efficiency, by providing a persistent request type that
can trigger multiple CQEs.
- Add initial support for ring feature querying.
We had basic support for probe operations, but the API isn't great.
Rather than expand that, add support for QUERY which is easily
expandable and can cover a lot more cases than the existing probe
support. This will help applications get a better idea of what
operations are supported on a given host.
- zcrx improvements from Pavel:
- Improve refill entry alignment for better caching
- Various cleanups, especially around deduplicating normal
memory vs dmabuf setup.
- Generalisation of the niov size (Patch 12). It's still hard
coded to PAGE_SIZE on init, but will let the user to specify
the rx buffer length on setup.
- Syscall / synchronous bufer return. It'll be used as a slow
fallback path for returning buffers when the refill queue is
full. Useful for tolerating slight queue size misconfiguration
or with inconsistent load.
- Accounting more memory to cgroups.
- Additional independent cleanups that will also be useful for
mutli-area support.
- Various fixes and cleanups

where possible and corresponding cleanups. To do so, add the
'pin-init' crate as a dependency to 'bindings' and 'uapi'.
It also includes its first use in the 'cpufreq' module, with more to

the 'rusttest' target. Tests should generally run within KUnit.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'ptr' module with a new 'Alignment' type, which is always a power
of two and is used to validate that a given value is a valid
alignment and to perform masking and alignment operations:
// Checked at build time.
assert_eq!(Alignment:🆕:<16>().as_usize(), 16);

ublk_setup_iod() checks first whether the request is a zoned operation
issued to a device without zoned support and returns BLK_STS_IOERR if
so. However, such a request would already hit the default case in the
subsequent switch statement and fail the ublk_queue_is_zoned() check,
which also results in a return of BLK_STS_IOERR. So remove the redundant
early check for unsupported zone ops.

Commit 79525b51ac ("io_uring: fix nvme's 32b cqes on mixed cq") split
out a separate io_uring_cmd_done32() helper for ->uring_cmd()
implementations that return 32-byte CQEs. The res2 value passed to
io_uring_cmd_done() is now unused because __io_uring_cmd_done() ignores
it when is_cqe32 is passed as false. So drop the parameter from
io_uring_cmd_done() to simplify the callers and clarify that it's not
possible to return an extra value beyond the 32-bit CQE result.

Merge tag 'block-6.17-20250918' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux
Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A set of fixes for an issue with md array assembly and drbd for
devices supporting write zeros"
* tag 'block-6.17-20250918' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux:
drbd: init queue_limits->max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors parameter
md: init queue_limits->max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors parameter
The parameter max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors in queue_limits should be
equal to max_write_zeroes_sectors if it is set to a non-zero value.
However, when the backend bdev is specified, this parameter is
initialized to UINT_MAX during the call to blk_set_stacking_limits(),
while only max_write_zeroes_sectors is adjusted. Therefore, this
discrepancy triggers a value check failure in blk_validate_limits().
Since the drvd driver doesn't yet support unmap write zeroes, so fix
this failure by explicitly setting max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors to
zero.

Parallel concurrent writes to the same zram index result in leaked
zsmalloc handles. Schematically we can have something like this:
CPU0 CPU1
zram_slot_lock()
zs_free(handle)
zram_slot_lock()
zram_slot_lock()
zs_free(handle)
zram_slot_lock()
compress compress
handle = zs_malloc() handle = zs_malloc()
zram_slot_lock
zram_set_handle(handle)
zram_slot_lock
zram_slot_lock
zram_set_handle(handle)
zram_slot_lock
Either CPU0 or CPU1 zsmalloc handle will leak because zs_free() is done
too early. In fact, we need to reset zram entry right before we set its
new handle, all under the same slot lock scope.

sysfs handlers should be called under ->init_lock and are not supposed to
unlock it until return, otherwise e.g. a concurrent reset() can occur.
There is one handler that breaks that rule: recomp_algorithm_show().
Move ->init_lock handling outside of __comp_algorithm_show() (also drop it
and call zcomp_available_show() directly) so that the entire
recomp_algorithm_show() loop is protected by the lock, as opposed to
protecting individual iterations.
The patch does not need to go to -stable, as it does not fix any
runtime errors (at least I can't think of any). It makes
recomp_algorithm_show() "atomic" w.r.t. zram reset() (just like the
rest of zram sysfs show() handlers), that's a pretty minor change.

ublk_mark_io_ready() tracks whether all the ublk_device's I/Os have been
fetched by incrementing ublk_queue's nr_io_ready count and incrementing
ublk_device's nr_queues_ready count if the whole queue is ready.
Simplify the logic by just tracking the total number of fetched I/Os on
each ublk_device. When this count reaches nr_hw_queues * queue_depth,
the ublk_device is ready to receive I/O.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of
the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow
callers to transition their calls.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
All existing users have been updated accordingly.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce
locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required.
Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used.
queue_work() / queue_delayed_work() / mod_delayed_work() will now use the
new unbound wq: whether the user still use the old wq a warn will be
printed along with a wq redirect to the new one.
The old system_unbound_wq will be kept for a few release cycles.

ublk_ch_uring_cmd_local() is a thin wrapper around __ublk_ch_uring_cmd()
that copies the ublksrv_io_cmd from user-mapped memory to the stack
using READ_ONCE(). This ublksrv_io_cmd is passed by pointer to
__ublk_ch_uring_cmd() and __ublk_ch_uring_cmd() is a large function
unlikely to be inlined, so __ublk_ch_uring_cmd() will have to load the
ublksrv_io_cmd fields back from the stack. Inline __ublk_ch_uring_cmd()
into ublk_ch_uring_cmd_local() and load the ublksrv_io_cmd fields into
local variables with READ_ONCE(). This allows the compiler to delay
loading the fields until they are needed and choose whether to store
them in registers or on the stack.

When running test_stress_04.sh, the following warning is triggered:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 135 at drivers/block/ublk_drv.c:1933 ublk_ch_release+0x423/0x4b0 [ublk_drv]
This happens when the daemon is abruptly killed:
- some references may still be held, because registering IO buffer
doesn't grab ublk char device reference
OR
- io->task_registered_buffers won't be cleared because io buffer is
released from non-daemon context
For zero-copy and auto buffer register modes, I/O reference crosses
syscalls, so IO reference may not be dropped naturally when ublk server is
killed abruptly. However, when releasing io_uring context, it is guaranteed
that the reference is dropped finally, see io_sqe_buffers_unregister() from
io_ring_ctx_free().
Fix this by adding ublk_drain_io_references() that:
- Waits for active I/O references dropped in async way by scheduling
work function, for avoiding ublk dev and io_uring file's release
dependency
- Reinitializes io->ref and io->task_registered_buffers to clean state
This ensures the reference count state is clean when ublk_queue_reinit()
is called, preventing the warning and potential use-after-free.

By default, /dev/sda is block special file from devtmpfs, getattr will
return file size as zero, causing loop failed for raw block device.
We can add bdev_statx() to return device size, however this may
introduce changes that are not acknowledged by user. Fix this problem by
reverting changes for block special file, file mapping host is set to
bdev inode while opening, and use i_size_read() directly to get device
size.

Use vfs_getattr_nosec() in lo_calculate_size() for getting the file
size, rather than just read the cached inode size via i_size_read().
This provides better results than cached inode data, particularly for
