<content type='text'>
Add a selftest to verify bonding behavior when `lacp_active` is set to `off`.

The test checks the following:
- The passive LACP bond should not send LACPDUs before receiving a partner's
  LACPDU.
- The transmitted LACPDUs must not include the active flag.
- After transitioning to EXPIRED and DEFAULTED states, the passive side should
  still not initiate LACPDUs.

<title>selftests: drv-net: don't assume device has only 2 queues</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bda053d6445717f8a4cd76f88caea2e39299fe07</id>
<content type='text'>
The test is implicitly assuming the device only has 2 queues.
A real device will likely have more. The exact problem is that
because NAPIs get added to the list from the head, the netlink
dump reports them in reverse order. So the naive napis[0] will
actually likely give us the _last_ NAPI, not the first one.
Re-enable all the NAPIs instead of hard-coding 2 in the test.
This way the NAPIs we operated on will always reappear,
doesn't matter where they were in the registration order.

<content type='text'>
Commit 2677010e7793 ("Add support to set NAPI threaded for individual
NAPI") added support to enable/disable threaded napi using netlink. This
also extended the napi config save/restore functionality to set the napi
threaded state. This breaks netdev reset for drivers that use napi
threaded at device level and also use napi config save/restore on
napi_disable/napi_enable. Basically on netdev with napi threaded enabled
at device level, a napi_enable call will get stuck trying to stop the
napi kthread. This is because the napi-&gt;config-&gt;threaded is set to
disabled when threaded is enabled at device level.

The issue can be reproduced on virtio-net device using qemu. To
reproduce the issue run following,

  echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/threaded
  ethtool -L eth0 combined 1

Update the threaded state in napi config in netif_set_threaded and add a
new test that verifies this scenario.

Tested on qemu with virtio-net:
 NETIF=eth0 ./tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/napi_threaded.py
 TAP version 13
 1..2
 ok 1 napi_threaded.change_num_queues
 ok 2 napi_threaded.enable_dev_threaded_disable_napi_threaded

<content type='text'>
A lot of test cases in the file are related to the idle and unbalanced
timers of resilient nexthop groups and these tests are reported to be
flaky on slow machines running debug kernels.

Rather than marking a lot of individual tests with xfail_on_slow(),
simply mark all the tests. Note that the test is stable on non-debug
machines and that with debug kernels we are mainly interested in the
output of various sanitizers in order to determine pass / fail.

Before:

 # make -C tools/testing/selftests KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW=yes \
 	TARGETS=drivers/net/netdevsim TEST_PROGS=nexthop.sh \
 	TEST_GEN_PROGS="" run_tests
 [...]
 # TEST: Bucket migration after idle timer (with delete)               [FAIL]
 #       Group expected to still be unbalanced
 [...]
 not ok 1 selftests: drivers/net/netdevsim: nexthop.sh # exit=1

After:

 # make -C tools/testing/selftests KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW=yes \
 	TARGETS=drivers/net/netdevsim TEST_PROGS=nexthop.sh \
 	TEST_GEN_PROGS="" run_tests

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "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.

  "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
     mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
     VMAs.

  "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
     adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
     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.

  "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
     does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

  "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
     implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
     into order&gt;0 folios.

  "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
     provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
     selftests code.

  "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
     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.

  "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
     types.

  "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
     increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
     code.

  "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
     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.

  "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
     rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
     allocator.

  "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
     provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

  "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
     adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

  "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
     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().

  "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
     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"
