userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_ops
Current userfaultfd implementation works only with memory managed by core MM: anonymous, shmem and hugetlb.
First, there is no fundamental reason to limit userfaultfd support only to the core memory types and userfaults can be handled similarly to regular page faults provided a VMA owner implements appropriate callbacks.
Second, historically various code paths were conditioned on vma_is_anonymous(), vma_is_shmem() and is_vm_hugetlb_page() and some of these conditions can be expressed as operations implemented by a particular memory type.
Introduce vm_uffd_ops extension to vm_operations_struct that will delegate memory type specific operations to a VMA owner.
Operations for anonymous memory are handled internally in userfaultfd using anon_uffd_ops that implicitly assigned to anonymous VMAs.
Start with a single operation, ->can_userfault() that will verify that a VMA meets requirements for userfaultfd support at registration time.
Implement that method for anonymous, shmem and hugetlb and move relevant parts of vma_can_userfault() into the new callbacks.

- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
This is a back merge since the pull request has a newer base -- we will avoid that in the future.
And, given it is a back merge, it happens to resolve the "subtle" conflict around '--remap-path-{prefix,scope}' that I discussed in linux-next [1], plus a few other common conflicts. The result matches what we did for next-20260407.

mm: move vma_mmu_pagesize() from hugetlb to vma.c
vma_mmu_pagesize() is also queried on non-hugetlb VMAs and does not really belong into hugetlb.c.
PPC64 provides a custom overwrite with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE, see arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/slice.c, so we cannot easily make this a static inline function.
So let's move it to vma.c and add some proper kerneldoc.
To make vma tests happy, add a simple vma_kernel_pagesize() stub in tools/testing/vma/include/custom.h.

mm: move vma_kernel_pagesize() from hugetlb to mm.h

Looking into vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize(), I realized that there is one
mm: move vma_kernel_pagesize() from hugetlb to mm.h
Patch series "mm: move vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() out of hugetlb.c", v2.
Looking into vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize(), I realized that there is one scenario where DAX would not do the right thing when the kernel is not compiled with hugetlb support.
Without hugetlb support, vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() will always return PAGE_SIZE instead of using the ->pagesize() result provided by dax-device code.
Fix that by moving vma_kernel_pagesize() to core MM code, where it belongs. I don't think this is stable material, but am not 100% sure.
Also, move vma_mmu_pagesize() while at it. Remove the unnecessary hugetlb.h inclusion from KVM code.
This patch (of 4):
In the past, only hugetlb had special "vma_kernel_pagesize()" requirements, so it provided its own implementation.
In commit 05ea88608d4e ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->pagesize() to vm_operations_struct") we generalized that approach by providing a vm_ops->pagesize() callback to be used by device-dax.
Once device-dax started using that callback in commit c1d53b92b95c ("device-dax: implement ->pagesize() for smaps to report MMUPageSize") it was missed that CONFIG_DEV_DAX does not depend on hugetlb support.
So building a kernel with CONFIG_DEV_DAX but without CONFIG_HUGETLBFS would not pick up that value.
Fix it by moving vma_kernel_pagesize() to mm.h, providing only a single implementation. While at it, improve the kerneldoc a bit.
Ideally, we'd move vma_mmu_pagesize() as well to the header. However, its __weak symbol might be overwritten by a PPC variant in hugetlb code. So let's leave it in there for now, as it really only matters for some hugetlb oddities.
This was found by code inspection.

Similar to vma_flags_test(), we have previously renamed vma_desc_test() to vma_desc_test_any(). Now that is in place, we can reintroduce vma_desc_test() to explicitly check for a single VMA flag.
As with vma_flags_test(), this is useful as often flag tests are against a single flag, and vma_desc_test_any(flags, VMA_READ_BIT) reads oddly and potentially causes confusion.
As with vma_flags_test() a combination of sparse and vma_flags_t being a struct means that users cannot misuse this function without it getting flagged.
Also update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

mm: reintroduce vma_flags_test() as a singular flag test
Since we've now renamed vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to be very clear as to what we are in fact testing, we now have the opportunity to bring vma_flags_test() back, but for explicitly testing a single VMA flag.
This is useful, as often flag tests are against a single flag, and vma_flags_test_any(flags, VMA_READ_BIT) reads oddly and potentially causes confusion.
We use sparse to enforce that users won't accidentally pass vm_flags_t to this function without it being flagged so this should make it harder to get this wrong.
Of course, passing vma_flags_t to the function is impossible, as it is a struct.
Also update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

mm: rename VMA flag helpers to be more readable
Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks".
The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use of VM_xxx flags more straightforward.
This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to improve consistency and readability.
Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()).
It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same reason. Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag test.
Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for consistency.
Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) && vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag.
Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion.
So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag.
The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere.
The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that they behave as expected.
This patch (of 6):
On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags() separately test whether all flags are set.
Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this confusion.
Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any().
Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention and to help avoid confusion vs. vma_flags_test_all().
While we're here, also update whitespace to be consistent in helper functions.

Merge patch series "fs: Move metadata bh tracking from address_space"
Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> says:
This patch series cleans up the mess that has accumulated over the years in metadata buffer_head tracking for inodes, moves the tracking into dedicated structure in filesystem-private part of the inode (so that we don't use private_list, private_data, and private_lock in struct address_space), and also moves couple other users of private_data and private_list so these are removed from struct address_space saving 3 longs in struct inode for 99% of inodes. I would like to get rid of private_lock in struct address_space as well however the locking changes for buffer_heads are non-trivial there and the patch series is long enough as is. So let's leave that for another time.
