Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs. The lengthier patch series are - 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling - After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and the use of min_t() and max_t() - A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove task_struct.thread_group" * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2023-11-02-14-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (64 commits) scripts/gdb/vmalloc: disable on no-MMU scripts/gdb: fix usage of MOD_TEXT not defined when CONFIG_MODULES=n .mailmap: add address mapping for Tomeu Vizoso mailmap: update email address for Claudiu Beznea tools/testing/selftests/mm/run_vmtests.sh: lower the ptrace permissions .mailmap: map Benjamin Poirier's address scripts/gdb: add lx_current support for riscv ocfs2: fix a spelling typo in comment proc: test ProtectionKey in proc-empty-vm test proc: fix proc-empty-vm test with vsyscall fs/proc/base.c: remove unneeded semicolon do_io_accounting: use sig->stats_lock do_io_accounting: use __for_each_thread() ocfs2: replace BUG_ON() at ocfs2_num_free_extents() with ocfs2_error() ocfs2: fix a typo in a comment scripts/show_delta: add __main__ judgement before main code treewide: mark stuff as __ro_after_init fs: ocfs2: check status values proc: test /proc/${pid}/statm compiler.h: move __is_constexpr() to compiler.h ...

buffer: remove folio_create_empty_buffers()

2023-10-25T23:47:10Z

With all users converted, remove the old create_empty_buffers() and rename folio_create_empty_buffers() to create_empty_buffers().

buffer: make folio_create_empty_buffers() return a buffer_head

2023-10-25T23:47:08Z

Patch series "Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition", v2. Pankaj recently added folio_create_empty_buffers() as the folio equivalent to create_empty_buffers(). This patch set finishes the conversion by first converting all remaining filesystems to call folio_create_empty_buffers(), then renaming it back to create_empty_buffers(). I took the opportunity to make a few simplifications like making folio_create_empty_buffers() return the head buffer and extracting get_nth_bh() from nilfs2. A few of the patches in this series aren't directly related to create_empty_buffers(), but I saw them while I was working on this and thought they'd be easy enough to add to this series. Compile-tested only, other than ext4. This patch (of 26): Almost all callers want to know the first BH that was allocated for this folio. We already have that handy, so return it.

treewide: mark stuff as __ro_after_init

2023-10-18T21:43:23Z

__read_mostly predates __ro_after_init. Many variables which are marked __read_mostly should have been __ro_after_init from day 1. Also, mark some stuff as "const" and "__init" while I'm at it.

buffer: use bdev_getblk() to avoid memory reclaim in readahead path

2023-10-04T17:32:28Z

__getblk() adds __GFP_NOFAIL, which is unnecessary for readahead; we're quite comfortable with the possibility that we may not get a bh back. Switch to bdev_getblk() which does not include __GFP_NOFAIL.

buffer: hoist GFP flags from grow_dev_page() to __getblk_gfp()

2023-10-04T17:32:28Z

grow_dev_page() is only called by grow_buffers(). grow_buffers() is only called by __getblk_slow() and __getblk_slow() is only called from __getblk_gfp(), so it is safe to move the GFP flags setting all the way up. With that done, add a new bdev_getblk() entry point that leaves the GFP flags the way the caller specified them.

buffer: pass GFP flags to folio_alloc_buffers()

2023-10-04T17:32:28Z

Patch series "Add and use bdev_getblk()", v2. This patch series fixes a bug reported by Hui Zhu; see proposed patches v1 and v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20230811035705.3296-1-teawaterz@linux.alibaba.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20230811071519.1094-1-teawaterz@linux.alibaba.com/ I decided to go in a rather different direction for this fix, and fix a related problem at the same time. I don't think there's any urgency to rush this into Linus' tree, nor have I marked it for stable. Reasonable people may disagree. This patch (of 8): Instead of creating entirely new flags, inherit them from grow_dev_page(). The other callers create the same flags that this function used to create.

iomap: add a workaround for racy i_size updates on block devices

2023-09-25T15:55:00Z

A szybot reproducer that does write I/O while truncating the size of a block device can end up in clean_bdev_aliases, which tries to clean the bdev aliases that it uses. This is because iomap_to_bh automatically sets the BH_New flag when outside of i_size. For block devices updates to i_size are racy and we can hit this case in a tiny race window, leading to the eventual clean_bdev_aliases call. Fix this by erroring out of > i_size I/O on block devices.
