workqueue: Fix NULL current_pwq deref in flush dependency check
check_flush_dependency() uses current_wq_worker() to determine whether
the caller is a workqueue worker and then dereferences worker->current_pwq
to test whether the current workqueue is WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
current_wq_worker() only means that %current has PF_WQ_WORKER set. A
kworker can reach check_flush_dependency() while it is not executing a
work item. One such path is worker_thread() acting as the pool manager,
where create_worker() does GFP_KERNEL allocation and the allocation path
invokes the OOM notifier. In that state worker->current_pwq is NULL
because current_pwq is set only by process_one_work() and cleared again
after the work function returns.

mm/vma: predicate setting mmap_prepare VMA fields on new vma alloc
It only makes sense to manipulate VMA fields if a new VMA was allocated,
rather than merged.
VMA merging does not compare vm_ops or vm_private_data, so a merged VMA
keeps its own, which is also what the legacy f_op->mmap path does since it
never touches an existing VMA.
Currently, these fields will get overwritten by whatever state is
established in the mmap_prepare hook, and if the VMA was merged,
vm_ops->mapped will not have been called, so this could destructively
clear existing state without replacing it with anything valid.
There is an implicit requirement that vm_private_data and vm_ops are
fungible across VMAs which means that losing the 'new' state is fine.
However in this case the 'old' state is being overwritten by potentially
invalid 'new' state, so this must be rectified.

mm/damon/core: don't skip damos_adjust_quota() while esz is not zero
DAMOS could unexpectedly stop working when a user disables quota using the
online parameters commit feature. Fix it by correcting a wrong quota
unset check in damos_adjust_quota().
DAMON users could disable all quotas by unsetting time and size quotas,
and removing all quota goals. The intention of disabling quotas would be
making DAMOS run at full speed. When such quota disabled setup is
detected, damos_adjust_quota() skips all its work. The skipped works
include effective size quota (damos_quota->esz) updates and charged quota
amount (damos_quota->charged_sz) resets. The intention is to avoid doing
unnecessary work when quotas are disabled.
However, users could do the setup while effective size quota is non-zero,
by doing the disabling with the online DAMON parameters commit feature.
In this case, because the effective size quota exists, DAMOS will keep
working with the quota until it is fully charged. After the effective
quota is fully charged, the charged quota amount (damos_quota->charged_sz)

alloc_tag: avoid implicit padding in uapi

kasan: unpoison task stack below watermark only in generic mode
CPU resume and BPF exception handling can discard stack frames without
running their compiler-generated epilogues. Generic KASAN needs
kasan_unpoison_task_stack_below() to clear the redzones left behind by
those frames before the stack is reused.
CONFIG_KASAN_STACK also enables this helper for SW_TAGS. The helper
derives the stack base from an untagged stack pointer, so kasan_unpoison()
writes KASAN_TAG_KERNEL (0xff) into the shadow for [base, watermark). For
a vmapped task stack, vm_area->addr still carries the original random
allocation tag. This creates a tag mismatch at the stack base even if
that memory has never held an instrumented stack object.
When the task exits and its stack is not cached, thread_stack_free_rcu()
passes vm_area->addr to vfree(). In RCU callback context this reaches
vfree_atomic(), whose llist_add() writes to the allocation base through
the tagged pointer and triggers a false KASAN invalid-access report:

mm: shmem: ignore sysfs configs for shmem forced collapse
According to Documentation/mm/transhuge.rst, MADV_COLLAPSE is expected to
ignore any THP or mTHP interface settings.
However, after commit 26c7d8413aaf ("mm: thp: support "THPeligible"
semantics for mTHP with anonymous shmem"), performing MADV_COLLAPSE on
shmem will depend on /sys/.../hugepages-2048kB/shmem_enabled being set to
"inherit" (although that is the default), which can cause MADV_COLLAPSE to
fail unexpectedly.
This could cause a userspace-visible performance regression.
Fix this by returning the result of shmem_huge_global_enabled() directly
when MADV_COLLAPSE is requested, allowing PMD-order collapse while
ignoring shmem THP/mTHP settings.

sched_ext: Add a size argument to scx_bpf_cid_topo() so struct scx_cid_topo can grow
scx_bpf_cid_topo() copies struct scx_cid_topo into a buffer the BPF program
sized from its own vmlinux.h while the verifier sizes the write from the
running kernel's BTF. The struct may grow and each growth then breaks every
scheduler built against the older layout, rejected at load or written past
its buffer. This is the usual hole for a struct handed to BPF, closed
elsewhere with a size argument, and it was missed here.
Take the buffer size, copy the smaller of it and the kernel's struct and set
the rest to -1. Accesses to the copy are CO-RE relocated, so the struct can
grow by appending fields, which its comment now states. The kfunc changes in
place: the cid interface is still being finalized and no released scheduler
uses the current form.

cgroup/cpuset: Return PERR_NOCPUS in remote_partition_enable() on subpartitions_cpus conflict
When a remote partition is created underneath an existing local partition
via a non-partition (PRS_MEMBER) intermediate cgroup, update_prstate() sees
parent->partition_root_state == PRS_MEMBER and calls
remote_partition_enable().
Commit 86888c7bd117 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add warnings to catch inconsistency
in exclusive CPUs") replaced the cpumask_intersects(tmp->new_cpus,
subpartitions_cpus) error check in remote_partition_enable() with
WARN_ON_ONCE(). As a result, remote_partition_enable() emits a warning
and proceeds to enable the remote partition on CPUs that are already
owned by the ancestor local partition in subpartitions_cpus.
This can be reproduced on Linux 7.3.0-rc3 with:
mkdir -p /tmp/cg1
mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/cg1
echo "+cpuset" > /tmp/cg1/cgroup.subtree_control
