Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
  common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
  that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
  cumbersome cleanup paths.

  FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:

      fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
      if (fd &lt; 0)
          vfio_device_put_registration(device);
      return fd;

  FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
  additional work before publishing:

      FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file-&gt;file);
      if (fdf.err) {
          fput(sync_file-&gt;file);
          return fdf.err;
      }

      data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
      if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &amp;data, sizeof(data)))
          return -EFAULT;

      return fd_publish(fdf);

  The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
  encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
  a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
  installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
  both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
  fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.

  I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
  infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
  around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
  we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

It's useful to be able to determine the size of a VMA descriptor range
used on f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare, expressed both in bytes and pages, so add
helpers for both and update code that could make use of it to do so.

<id>urn:sha1:6f86d0534fddfbd08687fa0f01479d4226bc3c3d</id>
<content type='text'>
When a page fault occurs in a secret memory file created with
`memfd_secret(2)`, the kernel will allocate a new folio for it, mark the
underlying page as not-present in the direct map, and add it to the file
mapping.

If two tasks cause a fault in the same page concurrently, both could end
up allocating a folio and removing the page from the direct map, but only
one would succeed in adding the folio to the file mapping.  The task that
failed undoes the effects of its attempt by (a) freeing the folio again
and (b) putting the page back into the direct map.  However, by doing
these two operations in this order, the page becomes available to the
allocator again before it is placed back in the direct mapping.

If another task attempts to allocate the page between (a) and (b), and the
kernel tries to access it via the direct map, it would result in a
supervisor not-present page fault.

Fix the ordering to restore the direct map before the folio is freed.

 "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
  21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
  "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

  I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

     DAMON in production environments.

  "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
     is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
     pointers from struct writeback_control.

  "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
     contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
     management code.

     memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

  "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
     expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

  "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
     addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
     These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.

  "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
     provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

     removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

  "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
     implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
     sysfs layer.

  "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

  "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
     provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

  "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
     creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
     Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
     on/offline notifier.

  "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
     which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

  "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
     adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
     more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

  "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
     fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
     follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

     does that.

  "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
     also does what it claims.

  "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
     cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

  "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
     facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
     policy.

  "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
     provides a couple of page-&gt;folio conversions.

  "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
     implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
     current memcg-based implementation.

  "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
     replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
     powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

  "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
     for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
     of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
     excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
     reliably.

  "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
     switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
     removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

     augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
     monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
     tunable to control the update interval.

  "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
     does what is claims.

  "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
     provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
     a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
     over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
     directly.

  "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
     addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
     reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
     half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
     selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

  "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up __folio_split()!

  "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     provides some quite large (&gt;3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
     with large folios.

  "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
     does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

  "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
     more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
     multiple VMAs" feature.

  "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
     extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
     possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
     subset"

<title>secretmem: use SB_I_NOEXEC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:98f99394a104cc80296da34a62d4e1ad04127013</id>
<content type='text'>
Anonymous inodes may never ever be exectuable and the only way to
enforce this is to raise SB_I_NOEXEC on the superblock which can never
be unset. I've made the exec code yell at anyone who does not abide by
this rule.

For good measure also kill any pretense that device nodes are supported
on the secretmem filesystem.
