Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion" fixes a
couple of issues in the demotion code - pages were failed demotion
and were finding themselves demoted into disallowed nodes (Bing Jiao)

- "Remove XA_ZERO from error recovery of dup_mmap()" fixes a rare
mapledtree race and performs a number of cleanups (Liam Howlett)

- "mm: add bitmap VMA flag helpers and convert all mmap_prepare to use
them" implements a lot of cleanups following on from the conversion
of the VMA flags into a bitmap (Lorenzo Stoakes)

- "support batch checking of references and unmapping for large folios"
implements batching to greatly improve the performance of reclaiming
clean file-backed large folios (Baolin Wang)

- "selftests/mm: add memory failure selftests" does as claimed (Miaohe
Lin)

selftests/mm: add memory failure dirty pagecache test

This patch adds a new testcase to validate memory failure handling for
dirty pagecache. This performs similar operations as clean pagecaches
except fsync() is not used to keep pages dirty.

This test helps ensure that memory failure handling for dirty pagecache
works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery, page isolation, and
recovery paths.

selftests/mm: add memory failure clean pagecache test

This patch adds a new testcase to validate memory failure handling for
clean pagecache. This test performs similar operations as anonymous pages
except allocating memory using mmap() with a file fd.

This test helps ensure that memory failure handling for clean pagecache
works correctly, including unchanged page content, page isolation, and
recovery paths.

selftests/mm: add memory failure anonymous page test

Patch series "selftests/mm: add memory failure selftests", v4.

Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of memory failure.
These tests help ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages,
pagecaches pages works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user
processes, page isolation, and recovery paths.

Currently madvise syscall is used to inject memory failures. And only
anonymous pages and pagecaches are tested. More test scenarios, e.g.
hugetlb, shmem, thp, will be added. Also more memory failure injecting
methods will be supported, e.g. APEI Error INJection, if required.


This patch (of 3):

This patch adds a new kselftest to validate memory failure handling for
anonymous pages. The test performs the following operations:
1. Allocates anonymous pages using mmap().
2. Injects memory failure via madvise syscall.
3. Verifies expected error handling behavior.
4. Unpoison memory.

This test helps ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages
works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user processes, page
isolation and recovery paths.
