- The 33 patch series "Eliminate Dying Memory Cgroup" from Qi Zheng and
Muchun Song addresses the longstanding "dying memcg problem". A
situation wherein a no-longer-used memory control group will hang around
for an extended period pointlessly consuming memory. The [0/N]
changelog has a good overview of this work.
- The 3 patch series "fix unexpected type conversions and potential
overflows" from Qi Zheng fixes a couple of potential 32-bit/64-bit
issues which were identified during review of the "Eliminate Dying
Memory Cgroup" series.
- The 6 patch series "kho: history: track previous kernel version and
kexec boot count" from Breno Leitao uses Kexec Handover (KHO) to pass
the previous kernel's version string and the number of kexec reboots
since the last cold boot to the next kernel, and prints it at boot time.
- The 4 patch series "liveupdate: prevent double preservation" from
Pasha Tatashin teaches LUO to avoid managing the same file across
different active sessions.
- The 10 patch series "liveupdate: Fix module unloading and unregister
API" from Pasha Tatashin addresses an issue with how LUO handles module
reference counting and unregistration during module unloading.
- The 2 patch series "zswap pool per-CPU acomp_ctx simplifications" from
Kanchana Sridhar simplifies and cleans up the zswap crypto compression
handling and improves the lifecycle management of zswap pool's per-CPU
acomp_ctx resources.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix damon_call()/damos_walk() vs
kdmond exit race" from SeongJae Park addresses unlikely but possible
leaks and deadlocks in damon_call() and damon_walk().
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid"
from SeongJae Park fixes a couple of root-only wild pointer
dereferences.
- The 2 patch series "Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon: warn commit_inputs vs
other params race" from SeongJae Park updates the DAMON documentation to
warn operators about potential races which can occur if the
commit_inputs parameter is altered at the wrong time.
- The 3 patch series "Minor hmm_test fixes and cleanups" from Alistair
Popple implements two bugfixes a cleanup for the HMM kernel selftests.
- The 6 patch series "Modify memfd_luo code" from Chenghao Duan provides
cleanups, simplifications and speedups in the memfd_lou code.
- The 4 patch series "mm, kvm: allow uffd support in guest_memfd" from
Mike Rapoport enables support for userfaultfd in guest_memfd.
- The 6 patch series "selftests/mm: skip several tests when thp is not
available" from Chunyu Hu fixes several issues in the selftests code
which were causing breakage when the tests were run on CONFIG_THP=n
kernels.
- The 2 patch series "mm/mprotect: micro-optimization work" from Pedro
Falcato implements a couple of nice speedups for mprotect().
- The 3 patch series "MAINTAINERS: update KHO and LIVE UPDATE entries"
from Pratyush Yadav reflects upcoming changes in the maintenance of KHO,
LUO, memfd_luo, kexec, crash, kdump and probably other kexec-based
things - they are being moved out of mm.git and into a new git tree.
