Linus Torvalds 27bc50fc90 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative
   reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
 
 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam R.  Howlett.  An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas.  It it apparently slight more efficient in its own right,
   but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention.
 
   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
 
   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAOUHufZabH85CeUN-MEMgL8gJGzJEWUrkiM58JkTbBhh-jew0Q@mail.gmail.com).
   This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed
   vacation.  He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
 
 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer.  It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to
   the single bit level.
 
   KMSAN keeps finding bugs.  New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
 
 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.
 
 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support
   file/shmem-backed pages.
 
 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen
 
 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov
 
 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure
 
 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.
 
 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.
 
 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.
 
 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.
 
 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions
 
 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(
 
 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu
 
 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying
 
 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths.  For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.
 
 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.
 
 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.
 
 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity.
 
 - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.
 
 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.
 
 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.
 
 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.
 
 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.
 
 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.
 
 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.
