Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to semaphore" from
Lance Yang enhances the hung task detector.
The detector presently dumps the blocking tasks's stack when it is
blocked on a mutex. Lance's series extends this to semaphores
- "nilfs2: improve sanity checks in dirty state propagation" from
Wentao Liang addresses a couple of minor flaws in nilfs2
- "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()" from Illia Ostapyshyn
fixes a couple of issues in the gdb scripts
- "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume keys" from
Coiby Xu addresses a usability problem with kdump.
When the dump device is LUKS-encrypted, the kdump kernel may not have
the keys to the encrypted filesystem. A full writeup of this is in
the series [0/N] cover letter
- "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls" from Max Kellermann adds
/sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and

xfs_zone_gc_write_chunk writes out the data buffer read in earlier using
the same bio, and currenly looks at bv_offset for the offset into the
scratch folio for that. But commit 26064d3e2b4d ("block: fix adding
folio to bio") changed how bv_page and bv_offset are calculated for
adding larger folios, breaking this fragile logic.
Switch to extracting the full physical address from the old bio_vec,
and calculate the offset into the folio from that instead.
This fixes data corruption during garbage collection with heavy rockdsb
workloads. Thanks to Hans for tracking down the culprit commit during
long bisection sessions.

Deduplicate the same functionality implemented in several places by
moving the cmp_int() helper macro into linux/sort.h.
The macro performs a three-way comparison of the arguments mostly useful
in different sorting strategies and algorithms.

xfs_zoned_need_gc makes use of mult_frac() to calculate the threshold
for triggering the zoned garbage collector, but, turns out mult_frac()
doesn't properly work with 64-bit data types and this caused build
failures on some 32-bit architectures.
Fix this by essentially open coding mult_frac() in a 64-bit friendly
way.
Notice we don't need to bother with counters underflow here because
xfs_estimate_freecounter() will always return a positive value, as it
leverages percpu_counter_read_positive to read such counters.

Presently we start garbage collection late - when we start running
out of free zones to backfill max_open_zones. This is a reasonable
default as it minimizes write amplification. The longer we wait,
the more blocks are invalidated and reclaim cost less in terms
of blocks to relocate.
Starting this late however introduces a risk of GC being outcompeted
by user writes. If GC can't keep up, user writes will be forced to
wait for free zones with high tail latencies as a result.
This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but if fragmentation
is bad and user write pressure is high (multiple full-throttle
writers) we will "bottom out" of free zones.
To mitigate this, introduce a zonegc_low_space tunable that lets the
user specify a percentage of how much of the unused space that GC
should keep available for writing. A high value will reclaim more of
the space occupied by unused blocks, creating a larger buffer against
write bursts.
This comes at a cost as write amplification is increased. To
illustrate this using a sample workload, setting zonegc_low_space to
60% avoids high (500ms) max latencies while increasing write
amplification by 15%.

Add a file write life time data placement allocation scheme that aims to
minimize fragmentation and thereby to do two things:
a) separate file data to different zones when possible.
b) colocate file data of similar life times when feasible.
To get best results, average file sizes should align with the zone
capacity that is reported through the XFS_IOC_FSGEOMETRY ioctl.
This improvement in data placement efficiency reduces the number of
blocks requiring relocation by GC, and thus decreases overall write
amplification. The impact on performance varies depending on how full
the file system is.
For RocksDB using leveled compaction, the lifetime hints can improve
throughput for overwrite workloads at 80% file system utilization by
~10%, but for lower file system utilization there won't be as much
benefit in application performance as there is less need for garbage
collection to start with.
Lifetime hints can be disabled using the nolifetime mount option.

RT groups on a zoned file system need to be completely empty before their
space can be reused. This means that partially empty groups need to be
emptied entirely to free up space if no entirely free groups are
available.
Add a garbage collection thread that moves all data out of the least used
zone when not enough free zones are available, and which resets all zones
that have been emptied. To find empty zone a simple set of 10 buckets
based on the amount of space used in the zone is used. To empty zones,
the rmap is walked to find the owners and the data is read and then
written to the new place.
To automatically defragment files the rmap records are sorted by inode
and logical offset. This means defragmentation of parallel writes into
a single zone happens automatically when performing garbage collection.
Because holding the iolock over the entire GC cycle would inject very
noticeable latency for other accesses to the inodes, the iolock is not
taken while performing I/O. Instead the I/O completion handler checks
that the mapping hasn't changed over the one recorded at the start of
the GC cycle and doesn't update the mapping if it change.
