"The significant change of interest is the handling of soft reserved
memory conflict between CXL and HMEM. In essence CXL will be the first
to claim the soft reserved memory ranges that belongs to CXL and
attempt to enumerate them with best effort. If CXL is not able to
enumerate the ranges it will punt them to HMEM.

Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks".
The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has
introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier
when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use
of VM_xxx flags more straightforward.
This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to
improve consistency and readability.
Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to
make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags
are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()).
It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same
reason. Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as
vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag
test.
Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for
consistency.
Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now
testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) &&
vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these
callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT,
VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and
vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag.
Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item
reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion.
So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag.
The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse
to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to
misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere.
The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to
explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be
consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only
used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces
explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that
they behave as expected.
This patch (of 6):
On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is
set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags()
separately test whether all flags are set.
Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this
confusion.
Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather
cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also
rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any().
Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the
VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention
and to help avoid confusion vs. vma_flags_test_all().
While we're here, also update whitespace to be consistent in helper
functions.

dax_hmem (ab)uses a platform device to allow for a module to autoload in
the presence of "Soft Reserved" resources. The dax_hmem driver had no
dependencies on the "hmem_platform" device being a singleton until the
recent "dax_hmem vs dax_cxl" takeover solution.
Replace the layering violation of dax_hmem_work assuming that there will
never be more than one "hmem_platform" device associated with a global work
item with a dax_hmem local workqueue that can theoretically support any
number of hmem_platform devices.
Fixup the reference counting to only pin the device while it is live in the
queue.

The dax_hmem dependency on cxl_region_contains_resource() is a one-off
special case. It is not suitable for other use cases.
Move the definition to the other CONFIG_CXL_REGION guarded definitions in
drivers/cxl/cxl.h and include that by a relative path include. This matches
what drivers/dax/cxl.c does for its limited private usage of CXL core
symbols.
Reduce the symbol export visibility from global to just dax_hmem, to
further clarify its applicability.

The expectation is that DEV_DAX_HMEM=y should be disallowed if any of
CXL_ACPI, or CXL_PCI are set =m. Also DEV_DAX_CXL=y should be disallowed if
DEV_DAX_HMEM=m. Use "$config || !$config" syntax for each dependency.
Otherwise, the invalid DEV_DAX_HMEM=m && DEV_DAX_CXL=y configuration is
allowed.
Lastly, dax_hmem depends on the availability of the
cxl_region_contains_resource() symbol published by the cxl_core.ko module.
So, also prevent DEV_DAX_HMEM from being built-in when the cxl_core module
is not built-in.

The current probe time ownership check for Soft Reserved memory based
solely on CXL window intersection is insufficient. dax_hmem probing is not
always guaranteed to run after CXL enumeration and region assembly, which
can lead to incorrect ownership decisions before the CXL stack has
finished publishing windows and assembling committed regions.
Introduce deferred ownership handling for Soft Reserved ranges that
intersect CXL windows. When such a range is encountered during the
initial dax_hmem probe, schedule deferred work to wait for the CXL stack
to complete enumeration and region assembly before deciding ownership.
Once the deferred work runs, evaluate each Soft Reserved range
individually: if a CXL region fully contains the range, skip it and let
dax_cxl bind. Otherwise, register it with dax_hmem. This per-range
ownership model avoids the need for CXL region teardown and
alloc_dax_region() resource exclusion prevents double claiming.
Introduce a boolean flag dax_hmem_initial_probe to live inside device.c
so it survives module reload. Ensure dax_cxl defers driver registration
until dax_hmem has completed ownership resolution. dax_cxl calls
dax_hmem_flush_work() before cxl_driver_register(), which both waits for
the deferred work to complete and creates a module symbol dependency that
forces dax_hmem.ko to load before dax_cxl.

Move hmem/ earlier in the dax Makefile so that hmem_init() runs before
dax_cxl.
In addition, defer registration of the dax_cxl driver to a workqueue
instead of using module_cxl_driver(). This ensures that dax_hmem has
an opportunity to initialize and register its deferred callback and make
ownership decisions before dax_cxl begins probing and claiming Soft
Reserved ranges.
Mark the dax_cxl driver as PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS so its probe runs
out of line from other synchronous probing avoiding ordering
dependencies while coordinating ownership decisions with dax_hmem.

Ensure cxl_acpi has published CXL Window resources before HMEM walks Soft
Reserved ranges.
Replace MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: cxl_acpi") with an explicit, synchronous
request_module("cxl_acpi"). MODULE_SOFTDEP() only guarantees eventual
loading, it does not enforce that the dependency has finished init
before the current module runs. This can cause HMEM to start before
cxl_acpi has populated the resource tree, breaking detection of overlaps
between Soft Reserved and CXL Windows.
Also, request cxl_pci before HMEM walks Soft Reserved ranges. Unlike
cxl_acpi, cxl_pci attach is asynchronous and creates dependent devices
that trigger further module loads. Asynchronous probe flushing
(wait_for_device_probe()) is added later in the series in a deferred
context before HMEM makes ownership decisions for Soft Reserved ranges.
Add an additional explicit Kconfig ordering so that CXL_ACPI and CXL_PCI
must be initialized before DEV_DAX_HMEM. This prevents HMEM from consuming
Soft Reserved ranges before CXL drivers have had a chance to claim them.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Insert Soft Reserved memory into a dedicated soft_reserve_resource tree
instead of the iomem_resource tree at boot. Delay publishing these ranges
into the iomem hierarchy until ownership is resolved and the HMEM path
is ready to consume them.
Publishing Soft Reserved ranges into iomem too early conflicts with CXL
hotplug and prevents region assembly when those ranges overlap CXL
windows.
Follow up patches will reinsert Soft Reserved ranges into iomem after CXL
window publication is complete and HMEM is ready to claim the memory. This
provides a cleaner handoff between EFI-defined memory ranges and CXL
resource management without trimming or deleting resources later.
In the meantime "Soft Reserved" resources will no longer appear in
/proc/iomem, only their results. I.e. with "memmap=4G%4G+0xefffffff"
Before:
100000000-1ffffffff : Soft Reserved
100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)
After:
100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)
The expectation is that this does not lead to a user visible regression
because the dax1.0 device is created in both instances.

mm_get_unmapped_area() is a wrapper around arch_get_unmapped_area() /
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), both of which search current->mm for
some free space. Neither take an mm_struct - they implicitly operate on
current->mm.
But the wrapper takes an mm_struct and uses it to decide whether to search
bottom up or top down. All callers pass in current->mm for this, so
everything is working consistently. But it feels like an accident waiting
to happen; eventually someone will call that function with a different mm,
expecting to find free space in it, but what gets returned is free space
in the current mm.
So let's simplify by removing the parameter and have the wrapper use
current->mm to decide which end to start at. Now everything is consistent
and self-documenting.

pgoff should be aligned using ALIGN_DOWN() instead of ALIGN(). Otherwise,
vmf->address not aligned to fault_size will be aligned to the next
alignment, that can result in memory failure getting the wrong address.
It's a subtle situation that only can be observed in
page_mapped_in_vma() after the page is page fault handled by
dev_dax_huge_fault. Generally, there is little chance to perform
page_mapped_in_vma in dev-dax's page unless in specific error injection
to the dax device to trigger an MCE - memory-failure. In that case,
page_mapped_in_vma() will be triggered to determine which task is
accessing the failure address and kill that task in the end.
We used self-developed dax device (which is 2M aligned mapping) , to
perform error injection to random address. It turned out that error
injected to non-2M-aligned address was causing endless MCE until panic.
Because page_mapped_in_vma() kept resulting wrong address and the task
accessing the failure address was never killed properly:

Patch series "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds", v5.
Dax supports pud pages for a while, but mprotect on puds was missing since
the start. This series tries to fix that by providing pud handling in
mprotect(). The goal is to add more types of pud mappings like hugetlb or
pfnmaps. This series paves way for it by fixing known pud entries.
Considering nobody reported this until when I looked at those other types
of pud mappings, I am thinking maybe it doesn't need to be a fix for
stable and this may not need to be backported. I would guess whoever
cares about mprotect() won't care 1G dax puds yet, vice versa. I hope
fixing that in new kernels would be fine, but I'm open to suggestions.
There're a few small things changed to teach mprotect work on PUDs. E.g.
it will need to start with dropping NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES which may stop
making sense when there can be more than one type of huge pte. OTOH,
we'll also need to push the mmu notifiers from pmd to pud layers, which
might need some attention but so far I think it's safe. For such details,
please refer to each patch's commit message.
The mprotect() pud process should be straightforward, as I kept it as
simple as possible. There's no NUMA handled as dax simply doesn't support
that. There's also no userfault involvements as file memory (even if work
with userfault-wp async mode) will need to split a pud, so pud entry
doesn't need to yet know userfault's existance (but hugetlb entries will;
that's also for later).
This patch (of 7):
Currently the dax fault handler dumps the vma range when dynamic debugging
enabled. That's mostly not useful. Dump the (aligned) address instead
with the order info.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.
Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
in here are:
- platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
to get here, finally!)
- Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
interactions.
It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
others can start their work.
There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.
- driver core const api changes.
This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
out.
This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
but are getting closer.
- minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection
- arch_topology minor changes
- other minor driver core cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
reported problems"

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.
Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.
For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

dax-driver internal data-structures like the dax_region resource tree to
device-dax-instance range structures. However, the device_lock() was
legitimately enforcing that devices to be deleted were not current
actively attached to any driver nor assigned any capacity from the region.
As a result of the device_lock restoration in delete_store(), the
conditional locking in unregister_dev_dax() and unregister_dax_mapping()
can be removed.

Patch series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes", v11.
When a memory device, such as CXL1.1 type3 memory, is emulated as normal
memory (E820_TYPE_RAM), the memory device is indistinguishable from normal
DRAM in terms of memory tiering with the current implementation. The
current memory tiering assigns all detected normal memory nodes to the
same DRAM tier. This results in normal memory devices with different
attributions being unable to be assigned to the correct memory tier,
leading to the inability to migrate pages between different types of
memory.

This patchset automatically resolves the issues. It delays the
initialization of memory tiers for CPUless NUMA nodes until they obtain
HMAT information and after all devices are initialized at boot time,
eliminating the need for user intervention. If no HMAT is specified, it
falls back to using `default_dram_type`.
Example usecase:
We have CXL memory on the host, and we create VMs with a new system memory
device backed by host CXL memory. We inject CXL memory performance
attributes through QEMU, and the guest now sees memory nodes with
performance attributes in HMAT. With this change, we enable the guest
kernel to construct the correct memory tiering for the memory nodes.
This patch (of 2):
Since different memory devices require finding, allocating, and putting
memory types, these common steps are abstracted in this patch, enhancing
the scalability and conciseness of the code.

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.
