[first readahead: ra_size = 32, req_count = 15, async_size = 17]
When reading 64k data (same for 61-63k range, where last_index is
page-aligned in filemap_get_pages()), 128k readahead is triggered via
page_cache_sync_ra() and the PG_readahead flag is set on the next folio
(the one containing 0x10 page).
When reading 60k data, 128k readahead is also triggered via
page_cache_sync_ra(). However, in this case the readahead flag is set on
the 0xf page. Although the requested read size (req_count) is 60k, the
actual read will be aligned to folio size (64k), which triggers the
readahead flag and initiates asynchronous readahead via
page_cache_async_ra(). This results in two readahead operations totaling
256k.
The root cause is that when the requested size is smaller than the actual
read size (due to folio alignment), it triggers asynchronous readahead.
By changing last_index alignment from page size to folio size, we ensure
the requested size matches the actual read size, preventing the case where
a single read operation triggers two readahead operations.
After applying the patch:

# ./page-types -r -L -f /mnt/xfs/test

[ra_size = 32, req_count = 16, async_size = 16]
The same phenomenon will occur when reading from 49k to 64k. Set the
readahead flag to the next folio.
Because the minimum order of folio in address_space equals the block size
(at least in xfs and bcachefs that already support bs > ps), having
request_count aligned to block size will not cause overread.

Patch series "introduce kernel file mapped folios", v4.
Btrfs currently tracks its metadata pages in the page cache, using a fake
inode (fs_info->btree_inode) with offsets corresponding to where the
metadata is stored in the filesystem's full logical address space.
A consequence of this is that when btrfs uses filemap_add_folio(), this
usage is charged to the cgroup of whichever task happens to be running at
the time. These folios don't belong to any particular user cgroup, so I
don't think it makes much sense for them to be charged in that way. Some
negative consequences as a result:
- A task can be holding some important btrfs locks, then need to lookup
some metadata and go into reclaim, extending the duration it holds
that lock for, and unfairly pushing its own reclaim pain onto other
cgroups.
- If that cgroup goes into reclaim, it might reclaim these folios a
different non-reclaiming cgroup might need soon. This is naturally
offset by LRU reclaim, but still.
We have two options for how to manage such file pages:
1. charge them to the root cgroup.
2. don't charge them to any cgroup at all.
2. breaks the invariant that every mapped page has a cgroup. This is
workable, but unnecessarily risky. Therefore, go with 1.
A very similar proposal to use the root cgroup was previously made by Qu,
where he eventually proposed the idea of setting it per address_space.
This makes good sense for the btrfs use case, as the behavior should apply
to all use of the address_space, not select allocations. I.e., if someone
adds another filemap_add_folio() call using btrfs's btree_inode, we would
almost certainly want to account that to the root cgroup as well.
This patch (of 3):
Add the flag AS_KERNEL_FILE to the address_space to indicate that this
mapping's memory is exempt from the usual memcg accounting.

- Remove tmp page copying in writeback path (Joanne).
This removes ~300 lines and with that a lot of complexity related to
avoiding reclaim related deadlock. The old mechanism is replaced with
a mapping flag that tells the MM not to block reclaim waiting for
writeback to complete. The MM parts have been reviewed/acked by
respective maintainers.
- Convert more code to handle large folios (Joanne). This still just
adds the code to deal with large folios and does not enable them yet.
- Allow invalidating all cached lookups atomically (Luis Henriques).
This feature is useful for CernVMFS, which currently does this
iteratively.
- Align write prefaulting in fuse with generic one (Dave Hansen)

different nodes of a distributed fs (Guang Yuan Wu)
- Update documentation for passthrough (Chen Linxuan)
- Add fdinfo about the device number associated with an opened

Currently, none of the folio_contains callers should encounter swap cache
folios.
For fs/ callers, swap cache folios are never part of their workflow.
For filemap and truncate, folio_contains is only used for sanity checks to
verify the folio index matches the expected lookup / invalidation target.
The swap cache does not utilize filemap or truncate helpers in ways that
would trigger these checks, as it mostly implements its own cache
management.
Shmem won't trigger these sanity checks either unless thing went wrong, as
it would directly trigger a BUG because swap cache index are unrelated and
almost never matches shmem index. Shmem have to handle mixed values of
folios, shadows, and swap entries, so it has its own way of handling the
mapping.
While some filemap helpers works for swap cache space, the swap cache is
different from the page cache in many ways. So this particular helper
will unlikely to work in a helpful way for swap cache folios.
So make it explicit here that folio_contains should not be used for swap
cache folios. This helps to avoid misuse, make swap cache less exposed
and remove the folio_index usage here.

Currently in shrink_folio_list(), reclaim for folios under writeback
falls into 3 different cases:
1) Reclaim is encountering an excessive number of folios under
writeback and this folio has both the writeback and reclaim flags
set
2) Dirty throttling is enabled (this happens if reclaim through cgroup
is not enabled, if reclaim through cgroupv2 memcg is enabled, or
if reclaim is on the root cgroup), or if the folio is not marked for
immediate reclaim, or if the caller does not have __GFP_FS (or
__GFP_IO if it's going to swap) set
3) Legacy cgroupv1 encounters a folio that already has the reclaim flag
set and the caller did not have __GFP_FS (or __GFP_IO if swap) set
In cases 1) and 2), we activate the folio and skip reclaiming it while
in case 3), we wait for writeback to finish on the folio and then try
to reclaim the folio again. In case 3, we wait on writeback because
cgroupv1 does not have dirty folio throttling, as such this is a
mitigation against the case where there are too many folios in writeback
with nothing else to reclaim.
If a filesystem (eg fuse) may deadlock due to reclaim waiting on
writeback, then the filesystem needs to add inefficient messy workarounds
to prevent this. To improve the performance of these filesystems, this
commit adds two things:
a) a AS_WRITEBACK_MAY_DEADLOCK_ON_RECLAIM mapping flag that filesystems
may set to indicate that reclaim should not wait on writeback
b) if legacy memcg encounters a folio with this
AS_WRITEBACK_MAY_DEADLOCK_ON_RECLAIM flag set (eg case 3), the folio
will be activated and skip reclaim (eg default to behavior in case 2)
instead.

Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect.
- The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then
using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed.
- The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry
Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been
deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from

runtime effects are anticipated.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations
from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in
the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code"

This is far less efficient for the lagging filesystems which still
use page_offset(), but it removes an access to page->index. It also
fixes a bug -- if any filesystem passed a tail page to page_offset(),
it would return garbage which might result in the filesystem choosing
to not writeback a dirty page. There probably aren't any examples
of this, but I can't be certain.

Callers can pass this in for uncached folio creation, in which case if a

If an !uncached lookup finds a cached folio, clear the flag. For that
case, there are competeting uncached and cached users of the folio, and it

Patch series "Support large folios for tmpfs", v3.
Traditionally, tmpfs only supported PMD-sized large folios. However
nowadays with other file systems supporting any sized large folios, and
extending anonymous to support mTHP, we should not restrict tmpfs to
allocating only PMD-sized large folios, making it more special. Instead,
we should allow tmpfs can allocate any sized large folios.
Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the
PMD-sized large folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to
allow any sized large folios. The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option
are:
huge=never: no any sized large folios
huge=always: any sized large folios
huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size
huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with madvise()
Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still
allocate the PMD-sized large folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is
set.
Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by
'/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same
semantics. The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while
the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs.
This patch (of 6):
Factor out the order calculation into a new helper, which can be reused by
shmem in the following patch.

Patch series "page->index removals in mm", v2.
As part of shrinking struct page, we need to stop using page->index. This
patchset gets rid of most of the remaining references to page->index in
mm, as well as increasing the number of functions which take a const
folio/page pointer. It shrinks the text segment of mm by a few hundred
bytes in my test config, probably mostly from removing calls to
compound_head() in page_to_pgoff().
This patch (of 7):
Change the function signature to pass in the folio as all three callers
have it. This removes a reference to page->index, which we're trying to
get rid of. And add kernel-doc.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.blocksize' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs blocksize updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the vfs infrastructure as well as the xfs bits to enable
support for block sizes (bs) larger than page sizes (ps) plus a few
fixes to related infrastructure.
There has been efforts over the last 16 years to enable enable Large
Block Sizes (LBS), that is block sizes in filesystems where bs > page
size. Through these efforts we have learned that one of the main
blockers to supporting bs > ps in filesystems has been a way to
allocate pages that are at least the filesystem block size on the page
cache where bs > ps.
Thanks to various previous efforts it is possible to support bs > ps
in XFS with only a few changes in XFS itself. Most changes are to the
page cache to support minimum order folio support for the target block
size on the filesystem.
A motivation for Large Block Sizes today is to support high-capacity
(large amount of Terabytes) QLC SSDs where the internal Indirection
Unit (IU) are typically greater than 4k to help reduce DRAM and so in
turn cost and space. In practice this then allows different
architectures to use a base page size of 4k while still enabling
support for block sizes aligned to the larger IUs by relying on high
order folios on the page cache when needed.
It also allows to take advantage of the drive's support for atomics
larger than 4k with buffered IO support in Linux. As described this
year at LSFMM, supporting large atomics greater than 4k enables
databases to remove the need to rely on their own journaling, so they
can disable double buffered writes, which is a feature different cloud
providers are already enabling through custom storage solutions"

xfs: make the calculation generic in xfs_sb_validate_fsb_count()
xfs: expose block size in stat
xfs: use kvmalloc for xattr buffers
iomap: fix iomap_dio_zero() for fs bs > system page size
filemap: cap PTE range to be created to allowed zero fill in folio_map_range()
mm: split a folio in minimum folio order chunks
readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in readahead
...
kiocb_invalidate_pages() is useful for the write path, however not
everything is backed by kiocb and we want to reuse the function for bio
based discard implementation. Extract and and reuse a new helper called
filemap_invalidate_pages(), which takes a argument indicating whether it
should be non-blocking and might return -EAGAIN.

Fixes: ab95d23bab ("filemap: allocate mapping_min_order folios in the page cache")
Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
filemap_create_folio() and do_read_cache_folio() were always allocating
folio of order 0. __filemap_get_folio was trying to allocate higher
order folios when fgp_flags had higher order hint set but it will default
to order 0 folio if higher order memory allocation fails.
Supporting mapping_min_order implies that we guarantee each folio in the
page cache has at least an order of mapping_min_order. When adding new
folios to the page cache we must also ensure the index used is aligned to
the mapping_min_order as the page cache requires the index to be aligned
to the order of the folio.

Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch.
- In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.
- Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad.
- More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
folio_alloc_mpol()"
- Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
"Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of
cgroup writeback"
- Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index".
- In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the
zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here -
more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.
- Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of
higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
"Restructure va_high_addr_switch".
- The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
simplify code".
- Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the
series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".
- Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.
- In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has
simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.
- Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
zswap: trivial folio conversions".
- In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.
- In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.
- In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
improvements in pagefault latency are realized.
- David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
fs/proc/internal.h".
- David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
"mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".
- Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
"cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".
- Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
and utilize them".
- Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.
It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
all CPUs are pegged.
- hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
"mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".
- Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
thing.
- Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me!
- Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.
- DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
function".
- In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
modernizing its use of pageframe fields.
- Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".
- More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
"mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
!ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.
- Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
__folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio
userspace copying.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.
- A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
that.
- David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
folio isolation + checks under PTL".
- Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
readahead quirks".
- SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self
testing code.
- Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.
- Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.
- Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
Kconfigurable) are
"mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config
option" and
"mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"
- Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.
- The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive
correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and
handle this situation.
- Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate
folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from
poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.
- SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
does those things.
- In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization.
- Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare
refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they
reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.
- Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps
for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs
from /proc/<pid>/maps".
- In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang
improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to
multisize THP splitting.
- Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
userspace to use all available huge page sizes.
- In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not
very useful feature from slab fault injection.

...
* Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested
virtualization enablement
* Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling
(in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware
* Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1 of
the protocol
* FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
and exception routing
* New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under KVM
* Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor
* Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX
* Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates
LoongArch:
* Add paravirt steal time support.
* Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET.
* Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch.
RISC-V:
* Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest
* perf kvm stat support
* Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available
ONE_REG support for the Zimop, Zcmop, Zca, Zcf, Zcd, Zcb and Zawrs ISA
extensions is coming through the RISC-V tree.
s390:
* Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical
x86:
* Fixes for Xen emulation.
* Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g. EFER
* Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the effective APIC
bus frequency, because TDX.
* Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant tracepoint.
* Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to consistently act on
"compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking for a specific vendor.
* Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs
that support self-snoop.
* Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure.
* Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as it reads
'0' and writes from userspace are ignored.
* Misc cleanups
x86 - MMU:
* Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
Intel TDX support.
* Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages that can't
hold leafs SPTEs.
* Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables for eager
page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting huge pages.
* Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE that is
non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a broken state
because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's all but dangerous
to let more MMU changes happen afterwards.
x86 - AMD:
* Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware.
* Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into an
instrumentable function from noinstr code.
* Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes
a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,
there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated pages
before mapping them into guest private memory ranges.
This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough to

keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet

x86 - Intel:
* Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware.
* Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted
interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing HLT in L2 (with
HLT-exiting disable by L1).
* KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch emulation
Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when
emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during
complex (multi-step) emulation. Silently ignoring the exit request can
result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to
userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed.
See commit 0dc902267c ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write exits if
emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's limitations with
respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator flows.
Generic:
* Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to AS_INACCESSIBLE,
because the special casing needed by these pages is not due to just
unmovability (and in fact they are only unmovable because the CPU cannot
access them).
* New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is useful to
mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live migration.
The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not through the ioctl.
* Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a clear win.
* Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to synchronize
SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86.
* Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with a flag
that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and sched_out().
* Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace detect bugs.
* Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in the
KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus writing guest
memory when retrieving guest state during live migration blackout.
Selftests:
* Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test.
* Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family 17h+ CPUs.
* Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid spamming the
log for tests that create lots of VMs.
* Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache misses by
doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration.

of the protocol
- FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
and exception routing

- Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical
x86:
- Fixes for Xen emulation
- Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g.
EFER
- Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the
effective APIC bus frequency, because TDX
- Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant
tracepoint
- Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to
consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking
for a specific vendor
- Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on
CPUs that support self-snoop
- Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure
- Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as
it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored
- Misc cleanups
x86 - MMU:
- Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
Intel TDX support
- Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages
that can't hold leafs SPTEs
- Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables
for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting
huge pages
- Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE
that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a
broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's
all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards
x86 - AMD:
- Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware
- Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into
an instrumentable function from noinstr code

new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,

Merge tag 'loongarch-kvm-6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chenhuacai/linux-loongson into HEAD
LoongArch KVM changes for v6.11
1. Add ParaVirt steal time support.
2. Add some VM migration enhancement.
3. Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch.
The flags AS_UNMOVABLE and AS_INACCESSIBLE were both added just for guest_memfd;
AS_UNMOVABLE is already in existing versions of Linux, while AS_INACCESSIBLE was
acked for inclusion in 6.11.
But really, they are the same thing: only guest_memfd uses them, at least for
now, and guest_memfd pages are unmovable because they should not be
accessed by the CPU.
So merge them into one; use the AS_INACCESSIBLE name which is more comprehensive.
At the same time, this fixes an embarrassing bug where AS_INACCESSIBLE was used
as a bit mask, despite it being just a bit index.
The bug was mostly benign, because AS_INACCESSIBLE's bit representation (1010)
corresponded to setting AS_UNEVICTABLE (which is already set) and AS_ENOSPC
(except no async writes can happen on the guest_memfd). So the AS_INACCESSIBLE
flag simply had no effect.
Fixes: 1d23040caa ("KVM: guest_memfd: Use AS_INACCESSIBLE when creating guest_memfd inode")
Fixes: c72ceafbd1 ("mm: Introduce AS_INACCESSIBLE for encrypted/confidential memory")

There are two helpers for retrieving the index within address space for
mixed usage of swap cache and page cache:
- page_index
- folio_index
This commit drops page_index, as we have eliminated all users, and
converts folio_index's helper __page_file_index to use folio to avoid the
page conversion.

These two helpers were useful for mixed usage of swap cache and page
cache, which help retrieve the corresponding file or swap device offset of
a page or folio.
They were introduced in commit f981c5950f ("mm: methods for teaching
filesystems about PG_swapcache pages") and used in commit d56b4ddf77
("nfs: teach the NFS client how to treat PG_swapcache pages"), suppose to
be used with direct_IO for swap over fs.
But after commit e1209d3a7a ("mm: introduce ->swap_rw and use it for
reads from SWP_FS_OPS swap-space"), swap with direct_IO is no more, and
swap cache mapping is never exposed to fs.
Now we have dropped all users of page_file_offset and folio_file_pos, so
they can be deleted.

When I did a large folios split test, a WARNING "[ 5059.122759][ T166]
Cannot split file folio to non-0 order" was triggered. But the test cases
are only for anonmous folios. while mapping_large_folio_support() is only
reasonable for page cache folios.
In split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), the folio passed to
mapping_large_folio_support() maybe anonmous folio. The folio_test_anon()
check is missing. So the split of the anonmous THP is failed. This is
also the same for shmem_mapping(). We'd better add a check for both. But
the shmem_mapping() in __split_huge_page() is not involved, as for
anonmous folios, the end parameter is set to -1, so (head[i].index >= end)
is always false. shmem_mapping() is not called.
Also add a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in mapping_large_folio_support() for anon
mapping, So we can detect the wrong use more easily.
THP folios maybe exist in the pagecache even the file system doesn't
support large folio, it is because when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is
enabled, khugepaged will try to collapse read-only file-backed pages to
THP. But the mapping does not actually support multi order large folios
properly.
Using /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages to verify this, with this patch,
large anon THP is successfully split and the warning is ceased.
