Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
     series 'Fixes and cleanups to compaction'

   - Joel Fernandes has a patchset ('Optimize mremap during mutual
     alignment within PMD') which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
     pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
     implementation which Linus suggested

   - More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i
     the following patch series:

     Hunter provides some fixups for the recently-added 'unaccepted
     memory' feature. To increase the feature's checking coverage. 'Plug
     a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is
     unaccepted memory'

   - In the series 'cleanups for lockless slab shrink' Qi Zheng has done
     some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
     shrinking code

     shrinking lockless in the series 'use refcount+RCU method to
     implement lockless slab shrink'

   - David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap
     code in the series 'Anon rmap cleanups'

     manipulation' Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
     manipulation of hugetlb page frames

   - In the series 'mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
     struct pages if freed by HVO' has improved our handling of gigantic

     distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high

     Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
     calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'

     the series 'mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates
     values'

   - In the series 'Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info

<title>nfsd: Handle EOPENSTALE correctly in the filecache</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d59b3515ab021e010fdc58a8f445ea62dd2f7f4c</id>
<content type='text'>
The nfsd_open code handles EOPENSTALE correctly, by retrying the call to
fh_verify() and __nfsd_open(). However the filecache just drops the
error on the floor, and immediately returns nfserr_stale to the caller.

This patch ensures that we propagate the EOPENSTALE code back to
nfsd_file_do_acquire, and that we handle it correctly.

<title>NFSD: Fix problem of COMMIT and NFS4ERR_DELAY in infinite loop</title>

<id>urn:sha1:147abcacee33781e75588869e944ddb07528a897</id>
<content type='text'>
The following request sequence to the same file causes the NFS client and
server getting into an infinite loop with COMMIT and NFS4ERR_DELAY:

OPEN
REMOVE
WRITE
COMMIT

Problem reported by recall11, recall12, recall14, recall20, recall22,
recall40, recall42, recall48, recall50 of nfstest suite.

This patch restores the handling of race condition in nfsd_file_do_acquire
with unlink to that prior of the regression.

When queueing a dispose list to the appropriate "freeme" lists, it
pointlessly queues the objects one at a time to an intermediate list.

Remove a few helpers and just open code a list_move to make it more
clear and efficient. Better document the resulting functions with
kerneldoc comments.

<title>NFSD: Convert filecache to rhltable</title>
<updated>2023-04-26T13:04:59Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:c4c649ab413ba6a785b25f0edbb12f617c87db2a</id>
<content type='text'>
While we were converting the nfs4_file hashtable to use the kernel's
resizable hashtable data structure, Neil Brown observed that the
list variant (rhltable) would be better for managing nfsd_file items
as well. The nfsd_file hash table will contain multiple entries for
the same inode -- these should be kept together on a list. And, it
could be possible for exotic or malicious client behavior to cause
the hash table to resize itself on every insertion.

A nice simplification is that rhltable_lookup() can return a list
that contains only nfsd_file items that match a given inode, which
enables us to eliminate specialized hash table helper functions and
use the default functions provided by the rhashtable implementation).

Since we are now storing nfsd_file items for the same inode on a
single list, that effectively reduces the number of hash entries
that have to be tracked in the hash table. The mininum bucket count
is therefore lowered.

Light testing with fstests generic/531 show no regressions.

<title>nfsd: allow reaping files still under writeback</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=dcb779fcd4ed5984ad15991d574943d12a8693d1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:dcb779fcd4ed5984ad15991d574943d12a8693d1</id>
<content type='text'>
On most filesystems, there is no reason to delay reaping an nfsd_file
just because its underlying inode is still under writeback. nfsd just
relies on client activity or the local flusher threads to do writeback.

The main exception is NFS, which flushes all of its dirty data on last
close. Add a new EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE flag to allow filesystems to
signal that they do this, and only skip closing files under writeback on
such filesystems.

Also, remove a redundant NULL file pointer check in
nfsd_file_check_writeback, and clean up nfs's export op flag
definitions.
