Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW handling - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew Wilcox - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use it - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword. This series should have been in the non-MM tree, my bad - Naoya Horiguchi improved the interaction between memory poisoning and memory section removal for huge pages - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages - Peter Xu utilized the PTE marker code for handling swapin errors - Hugh Dickins reworked compound page mapcount handling, simplifying it and making it more efficient - Removal of the autonuma savedwrite infrastructure from Nadav Amit and David Hildenbrand - zram support for multiple compression streams from Sergey Senozhatsky - David Hildenbrand reworked the GUP code's R/O long-term pinning so that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which didn't work very well anyway - Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain enabled during per-cpu page allocations - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of pagecache - David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW breaking - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's zsmalloc backend - Brian Foster has fixed a longstanding corner-case oddity in file[map]_write_and_wait_range() - sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang Chen - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several filesystems. They only need .writepages() - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target beancounting - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit machines - Many singleton patches, as usual * tag 'mm-stable-2022-12-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (313 commits) mm/hugetlb: set head flag before setting compound_order in __prep_compound_gigantic_folio mm: mmu_gather: allow more than one batch of delayed rmaps mm: fix typo in struct pglist_data code comment kmsan: fix memcpy tests mm: add cond_resched() in swapin_walk_pmd_entry() mm: do not show fs mm pc for VM_LOCKONFAULT pages selftests/vm: ksm_functional_tests: fixes for 32bit selftests/vm: cow: fix compile warning on 32bit selftests/vm: madv_populate: fix missing MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) definitions mm/gup_test: fix PIN_LONGTERM_TEST_READ with highmem mm,thp,rmap: fix races between updates of subpages_mapcount mm: memcg: fix swapcached stat accounting mm: add nodes= arg to memory.reclaim mm: disable top-tier fallback to reclaim on proactive reclaim selftests: cgroup: make sure reclaim target memcg is unprotected selftests: cgroup: refactor proactive reclaim code to reclaim_until() mm: memcg: fix stale protection of reclaim target memcg mm/mmap: properly unaccount memory on mas_preallocate() failure omfs: remove ->writepage jfs: remove ->writepage ...
