Linus Torvalds fb46e22a9e Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which
are included in this merge do the following:
 
 - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the
   series
 
 	"maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers"
 	"Some cleanups of maple tree"
 
 - In the series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem"
   Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
   and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
   have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few
   fixes) in the patch series
 
 	"Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()"
 	"Make folio_start_writeback return void"
 	"Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages"
 	"Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio"
 	"Finish two folio conversions"
 	"More swap folio conversions"
 
 - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
 
 	"mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault"
 
 - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the
   series "tweak kmemleak report format".
 
 - In the series "stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces" Andrey
   Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause
   eviction of no longer needed stack traces.
 
 - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
   allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series "mm:
   page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations".
 
 - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample
   code for a userspace memcg event listener application.  See the
   series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners".
 
 - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
   "maple_tree: iterator state changes".
 
 - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the
   series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap
   writeback".
 
 - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in
   the series
 
 	"mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS"
 	"selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests"
 	"mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8"
 
 - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series
   "mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds".
 
 - In the series "Multi-size THP for anonymous memory" Ryan Roberts
   has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
   improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
   anonymous page faults.
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
   work against eh buffer_head code int he series "More buffer_head
   cleanups".
 
 - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
   "userfaultfd move option".  UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
   compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
   UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.
 
 - Stefan Roesch has developed a "KSM Advisor", in the series
   "mm/ksm: Add ksm advisor".  This is a governor which tunes KSM's
   scanning aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.
 
 - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory
   use in the series "mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and
   cleanups".
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the
   writeback code, both code and within filesystems.  The series is
   "Clean up the writeback paths".
 
 - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and
   free stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series
   "kasan: save mempool stack traces".
 
 - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
   "kasan: assorted clean-ups".
 
 - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code.  Cleanups,
   more pte batching, folio conversions and more.  See the series
   "mm/rmap: interface overhaul".
 
 - Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU
   code in the series "mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup".
 
 - Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code
   cleanups in the series "Remove some lruvec page accounting
   functions".
