Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" (Oleg Nesterov)
Make creation of init in a new namespace more robust by clearing away some historical cruft which is no longer needed. Also some documentation fixups
- "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general" (Mark Brown)
Fix and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall selftest
- "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" (Andy Shevchenko)
- "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for hung task detector" (Aaron Tomlin)
Give administrators the ability to zero out /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count
- "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from tools/include/uapi" (Thomas Weißschuh)
Teach getdelays to use the in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the system-provided ones
- "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup" (Mayank Rungta)
Several cleanups and fixups to the hardlockup detector code and its documentation
- "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed left-shifts" (Josh Law)
A couple of small/theoretical fixes in the bch code
- "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo)
- "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig)
A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to quote Christoph:
"The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead"
- "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds" (Kuan-Wei Chiu)
Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need
- "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt)
Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself
- "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC" (Coiby Xu)
Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc
- "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks" (Joseph Qi)
Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!)

Patch series "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up", v2.
While removing Baikal SoC and platform code pieces I found that this code belongs to lib/math/ rather than generic lib/. Hence the move and followed up cleanups.
This patch (of 3):
The algorithm behind polynomial belongs to our collection of math equations and expressions handling. Move it to math/ subfolder where others of the kind are located.

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.
