Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2024-03-14-09-36' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Kuan-Wei Chiu has developed the well-named series "lib min_heap: Min heap optimizations". - Kuan-Wei Chiu has also sped up the library sorting code in the series "lib/sort: Optimize the number of swaps and comparisons". - Alexey Gladkov has added the ability for code running within an IPC namespace to alter its IPC and MQ limits. The series is "Allow to change ipc/mq sysctls inside ipc namespace". - Geert Uytterhoeven has contributed some dhrystone maintenance work in the series "lib: dhry: miscellaneous cleanups". - Ryusuke Konishi continues nilfs2 maintenance work in the series "nilfs2: eliminate kmap and kmap_atomic calls" "nilfs2: fix kernel bug at submit_bh_wbc()" - Nathan Chancellor has updated our build tools requirements in the series "Bump the minimum supported version of LLVM to 13.0.1". - Muhammad Usama Anjum continues with the selftests maintenance work in the series "selftests/mm: Improve run_vmtests.sh". - Oleg Nesterov has done some maintenance work against the signal code in the series "get_signal: minor cleanups and fix". Plus the usual shower of singleton patches in various parts of the tree. Please see the individual changelogs for details. * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2024-03-14-09-36' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (77 commits) nilfs2: prevent kernel bug at submit_bh_wbc() nilfs2: fix failure to detect DAT corruption in btree and direct mappings ocfs2: enable ocfs2_listxattr for special files ocfs2: remove SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag usage assoc_array: fix the return value in assoc_array_insert_mid_shortcut() buildid: use kmap_local_page() watchdog/core: remove sysctl handlers from public header nilfs2: use div64_ul() instead of do_div() mul_u64_u64_div_u64: increase precision by conditionally swapping a and b kexec: copy only happens before uchunk goes to zero get_signal: don't initialize ksig->info if SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/group_exec_task get_signal: hide_si_addr_tag_bits: fix the usage of uninitialized ksig get_signal: don't abuse ksig->info.si_signo and ksig->sig const_structs.checkpatch: add device_type Normalise "name (ad@dr)" MODULE_AUTHORs to "name <ad@dr>" dyndbg: replace kstrdup() + strchr() with kstrdup_and_replace() list: leverage list_is_head() for list_entry_is_head() nilfs2: MAINTAINERS: drop unreachable project mirror site smp: make __smp_processor_id() 0-argument macro fat: fix uninitialized field in nostale filehandles ...

+This parameter sets the total amount of shared memory pages that can be used
+inside ipc namespace. The shared memory pages counting occurs for each ipc
+namespace separately and is not inherited. Hence, ``shmall`` should always be at

If you are not sure what the default ``PAGE_SIZE`` is on your Linux
system, you can run the following command::
# getconf PAGE_SIZE
