Pull ntfs resurrection from Namjae Jeon:
"Ever since Kari Argillander’s 2022 report [1] regarding the state of
the ntfs3 driver, I have spent the last 4 years working to provide
full write support and current trends (iomap, no buffer head, folio),
enhanced performance, stable maintenance, utility support including
fsck for NTFS in Linux.

This new implementation is built upon the clean foundation of the
original read-only NTFS driver, adding:

- Write support:

Implemented full write support based on the classic read-only NTFS
driver. Added delayed allocation to improve write performance
through multi-cluster allocation and reduced fragmentation of the
cluster bitmap.

- iomap conversion:

Switched buffered IO (reads/writes), direct IO, file extent
mapping, readpages, and writepages to use iomap.

- Remove buffer_head:

Completely removed buffer_head usage by converting to folios. As a
result, the dependency on CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD has been removed from
Kconfig.

- Stability improvements:

The new ntfs driver passes 326 xfstests, compared to 273 for ntfs3.
All tests passed by ntfs3 are a complete subset of the tests passed
by this implementation. Added support for fallocate, idmapped
mounts, permissions, and more.

xfstests Results report:

Total tests run: 787
Passed : 326
Failed : 38
Skipped : 423

Failed tests breakdown:
- 34 tests require metadata journaling
- 4 other tests:
094: No unwritten extent concept in NTFS on-disk format
563: cgroup v2 aware writeback accounting not supported
631: RENAME_WHITEOUT support required
787: NFS delegation test"

DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual

falls to zero

- "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to
the recently added Kexec Handover feature

- "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo

from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
system".

It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

- "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
the memdesc project. Please see

https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

code

creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to
the thp selftesting code

- "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris
Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing

preparation for more memdesc work

Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
arm highmem

- "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
fallout, by removing dead code

- "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM

file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
the treatment of stacked filesystems

folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

Revert "hugetlb: make hugetlb depends on SYSFS or SYSCTL"

Commit f8142cf94d47 ("hugetlb: make hugetlb depends on SYSFS or SYSCTL")
added dependency on SYSFS or SYSCTL but hugetlb can be used without SYSFS
or SYSCTL. So this dependency is wrong and should be removed.

For users with CONFIG_SYSFS or CONFIG_SYSCTL on, there should be no
difference. For users have CONFIG_SYSFS and CONFIG_SYSCTL both
undefined, hugetlbfs can still works perfectly well through cmdline
except a possible kismet warning[1] when select CONFIG_HUGETLBFS.
IMHO, it might not worth a backport.

This reverts commit f8142cf94d4737ea0c3baffb3b9bad8addcb9b6b. It
overlooked the scenario of using hugetlb through boot parameters when
it was submitted.
