soc: fsl: qbman: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users
Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:
commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

lib: Support ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_INVALIDATE_MEMREGION
ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_INVALIDATE_MEMREGION provides the mechanism for
invalidating certain memory regions in a cache-incoherent manner. Currently
this is used by NVDIMM and CXL memory drivers in cases where it is
necessary to flush all data from caches by physical address range.
The operations in question are effectively memory hotplug, where stale
data might otherwise remain in the caches.
This is separate from the invalidates done to enable use of non-coherent
DMA masters, primarily in terms of when it is needed (not related to DMA
mappings) and how deep the flush must push data. The flushes done for
non-coherent DMA only need to reach the Point of Coherence of a single host
(which is often nearer CPUs and DMA masters than the physical storage).
This operation must push the data out of non architectural caches
(memory-side caches, write buffers etc) and typically all the way to the
memory device.
In some architectures these operations are supported by system components
that may become available only later in boot as they are either present
on a discoverable bus, or via a firmware description of an MMIO interface
(e.g. ACPI DSDT). Provide a framework to handle this case.
Architectures can opt in for this support via
CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_CACHE_MAINTENANCE
Add a registration framework. Each driver provides an ops structure and
the first op is Write Back and Invalidate by PA Range. The driver may
over invalidate.
For systems that can perform this operation asynchronously an optional
completion check operation is also provided. If present that must be called
to ensure that the action has finished. This provides a considerable
performance advantage if multiple agents are involved in the maintenance
operation.
When multiple agents are present in the system each should register with
this framework and the core code will issue the invalidate to all of them
before checking for completion on each. This is done to avoid need for
filtering in the core code which can become complex when interleave,
potentially across different cache coherency hardware is going on, so it
is easier to tell everyone and let those who don't care do nothing.

On some systems the cs42l43 has amplifiers attached to its SPI
controller that are not properly defined in ACPI. Currently
software nodes are added to support this case, however, the chip
selects for these devices are specified using a hack. A software
node is added with the same name as the pinctrl driver, as the
look up was name based, this allowed the GPIO look up to return
the pinctrl driver even though the swnode was not owned by it.
This was necessary as the swnodes did not support directly
linking to real firmware nodes.
Since commit e5d527be7e69 ("gpio: swnode: don't use the swnode's
name as the key for GPIO lookup") changed the lookup to be
fwnode based this hack will no longer find the pinctrl driver,
resulting in the driver not probing. There is no pinctrl driver
attached to the swnode itself. But other patches did add support
for linking a swnode to a real fwnode node [1]. As such the hack
is no longer needed, so switch over to just passing the real
fwnode for the pinctrl property to avoid any issues.

This is a limitation for devices created, for instance, on the auxiliary
bus with a dynamic software node attached which cannot reference devices
the firmware node of which is "real" (as an OF node or otherwise).
Make it possible for a software node to reference all firmware nodes in
addition to static software nodes. To that end: add a second pointer to
struct software_node_ref_args of type struct fwnode_handle. The core
swnode code will first check the swnode pointer and if it's NULL, it

mm, swap: fix potential UAF issue for VMA readahead
Since commit 78524b05f1a3 ("mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device
pinning"), the common helper for allocating and preparing a folio in the
swap cache layer no longer tries to get a swap device reference
internally, because all callers of __read_swap_cache_async are already
holding a swap entry reference. The repeated swap device pinning isn't
needed on the same swap device.
Caller of VMA readahead is also holding a reference to the target entry's
swap device, but VMA readahead walks the page table, so it might encounter
swap entries from other devices, and call __read_swap_cache_async on
another device without holding a reference to it.
So it is possible to cause a UAF when swapoff of device A raced with
swapin on device B, and VMA readahead tries to read swap entries from
device A. It's not easy to trigger, but in theory, it could cause real
issues.
Make VMA readahead try to get the device reference first if the swap
device is a different one from the target entry.

mm/huge_memory: fix folio split check for anon folios in swapcache
Both uniform and non uniform split check missed the check to prevent
splitting anon folios in swapcache to non-zero order.
Splitting anon folios in swapcache to non-zero order can cause data
corruption since swapcache only support PMD order and order-0 entries.
This can happen when one use split_huge_pages under debugfs to split
anon folios in swapcache.
In-tree callers do not perform such an illegal operation. Only debugfs
interface could trigger it. I will put adding a test case on my TODO

mm: fix MAX_FOLIO_ORDER on powerpc configs with hugetlb
In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios. In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.
In commit fae7d834c43c ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle. In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios. Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.
In commit 7b4f21f5e038 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.
Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.
To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc). Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.
Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios. Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.
While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.
Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer.
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.
Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.
While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

mm/slub: fix memory leak in free_to_pcs_bulk()
The commit 989b09b73978 ("slab: skip percpu sheaves for remote object
freeing") introduced the remote_objects array in free_to_pcs_bulk() to
skip sheaves when objects from a remote node are freed.
However, the array is flushed only when:
1) the array becomes full (++remote_nr >= PCS_BATCH_MAX), or
2) slab_free_hook() returns false and size becomes zero.
When neither of the conditions is met, objects in the array are leaked.
This resulted in a memory leak [1], where 82 GiB of memory was allocated
for the maple_node cache.
Flush the array after successfully freeing objects to sheaves
in the do_free: path.
In the meantime, move the snippet if (!size) goto flush_remote; outside
the while loop for readability. Let's say all objects in the array are
from a remote node: then we acquire s->cpu_sheaves->lock and try to free
an object even when size is zero. This doesn't appear to be harmful,
but isn't really readable.

This warning was triggering but after looking at why, it was because
another acceptable situation was happening and it wasn't checked for.
If the reader catches up to the writer and there's still data to be read

there's no new page to get.
In this situation, the reader page should not be updated and no warning
