The hgafb driver supports graphics adapters compatible with the Hercules
adapter from 1984. These were ISA cards or onboard devices that supported
monochrome 720x348 graphics. This driver was created in 1999 by Ferenc Bakonyi.
In the entire Git history (since Linux 2.6.12-rc2), there has only been one
commit in 2010 which indicated that the driver was in use, commit 529ed806d4
("video: Fix the HGA framebuffer driver"). The commit message states:
Only tested with fbcon, since most fbdev-based software appears
to only support 12bpp and up. It does not appear that this driver has
worked for at least the entire 2.6.x series, perhaps since 2002.
Given the age and limited capabilities of the hardware and the lack of
users, remove this driver and move the former maintainer to CREDITS.

Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski:
"Delete some obsolete networking code
Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
noobs try to fix them.
If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.
We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so
we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
behind us"

Remove the ISDN (mISDN, CAPI) subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP protocol
from the kernel tree.
ISDN is a pretty old technology and it's unclear whether anyone still
uses it. I went over the last few years of git history and all the
commits are either tree-wide conversions or syzbot/static analyzer
fixes.
When we discussed removal in the past IIRC there were some concerns
about ISDN still being used in parts of Germany. Unfortunately, the
code base is quite old, none of the current maintainers are familiar
with it and AI tools will have a field day finding bugs here.
Delete this code and preserve it in an out-of-tree repository
for any remaining users:
https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan
UAPI constants AF_ISDN/PF_ISDN and the SELinux isdn_socket class
are preserved for ABI stability, but the rest of uAPI is removed.

Pull ntfs resurrection from Namjae Jeon:
"Ever since Kari Argillander’s 2022 report [1] regarding the state of
the ntfs3 driver, I have spent the last 4 years working to provide
full write support and current trends (iomap, no buffer head, folio),
enhanced performance, stable maintenance, utility support including
fsck for NTFS in Linux.
This new implementation is built upon the clean foundation of the
original read-only NTFS driver, adding:
- Write support:
Implemented full write support based on the classic read-only NTFS
driver. Added delayed allocation to improve write performance
through multi-cluster allocation and reduced fragmentation of the
cluster bitmap.
- iomap conversion:
Switched buffered IO (reads/writes), direct IO, file extent
mapping, readpages, and writepages to use iomap.
- Remove buffer_head:
Completely removed buffer_head usage by converting to folios. As a
result, the dependency on CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD has been removed from
Kconfig.
- Stability improvements:
The new ntfs driver passes 326 xfstests, compared to 273 for ntfs3.
All tests passed by ntfs3 are a complete subset of the tests passed
by this implementation. Added support for fallocate, idmapped
mounts, permissions, and more.
xfstests Results report:
Total tests run: 787
Passed : 326
Failed : 38
Skipped : 423
Failed tests breakdown:
- 34 tests require metadata journaling
- 4 other tests:
094: No unwritten extent concept in NTFS on-disk format
563: cgroup v2 aware writeback accounting not supported
631: RENAME_WHITEOUT support required
787: NFS delegation test"

A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to

"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"

This reverts commit 7ffa8f3d30.
Reverts the removal of the classic read-only ntfs driver to
serve as the base for a new read-write ntfs implementation.
If we stack changes on top of the revert patch, It will significantly
reduce the diff size, making the review easier.
This revert intentionally excludes the restoration of Kconfig and
Makefile. The Kconfig and Makefile will be added back in the final patch
of this series, enabling the driver only after all features and
improvements have been applied.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.
This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.
Driver API:
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.
- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.
- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.
Device drivers:
- Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.
- Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
controller.
- Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches
- Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.
- Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().
- Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

This driver supports the Radisys 82600 embedded chipset, which was used with
Pentium III-era CPUs. It is highly unlikely that it is still used. Besides
its own documentation, the only information I was able to find about the
R82600, after looking through many pages of Google results, was that it was
used in a Nokia 2G GSM base station.
The original author said:
"This was after Bluesmoke (watch was out-of-tree), and was pay of the first
set of in tree edac drivers (a fresh design as far as I remember).
This particular driver did apparently get used by Akamai quite heavily and
widely but all ancient history now. The Radisys r82600 edac driver
r82600_edac.c was closely related hardware from the same era, and can probably
go too (although being embedded hardware, it's possible its production
lifespan was considerably longer).
Tim."

The history of this driver is pretty amusing. It was marked broken in
2007 in
28f96eeafc ("drivers/edac-new-i82443bxgz-mc-driver: mark as broken").
It was then fixed in 2008 in
53a2fe5804 ("edac: make i82443bxgx_edac coexist with intel_agp"),
but the dependency on BROKEN was never removed. Given that this was never
fixed in the last ~18 years, it is obvious there is no demand for this driver.
Remove it and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file.

The s2io driver supports Exar (formerly Neterion and S2io) PCI-X 10
Gigabit Ethernet cards. Hardware supporting PCI-X has not been
manufactured in years. On x86, it was quickly replaced by PCIe. While
it stuck around longer on POWER hardware, the last POWER hardware to
support it was POWER7, which is not supported by ppc64le Linux
distributions. The last supported mainstream ppc64 Linux distribution
was RHEL 7; while it is still supported under ELS, ELS is only
available for x86 and IBM Z. It is possible to use many PCI-X cards in
standard PCI slots (which are still available on new motherboards), but
it does not make sense to do so for 10 Gigabit Ethernet because the
maximum bandwidth of standard PCI is only 1067 Mbps. It is therefore
highly unlikely that this driver is still being used. Remove the
driver, and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file (restoring
credit for the vxge driver, which was removed in commit f05643a0f6
("eth: remove neterion/vxge").

HIPPI has not been relevant for over two decades. It was rapidly
eclipsed by Fibre Channel, and even when it was new, it was
confined to very high-end hardware. The HIPPI code has only
received tree-wide changes and fixes by inspection in the entire
Git history. Remove HIPPI support and the rrunner HIPPI driver,
and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file. Keep the
include/uapi/linux/if_hippi.h header because it is used by the TUN
code, and to avoid breaking userspace, however unlikely that may be.

NFC stack in Linux is in poor shape, with several bugs being discovered
last years via fuzzing, not much new development happening and limited
review and testing. It requires some more effort than drive-by reviews
I have been offering last one or two years.
I don't have much time nor business interests to keep looking at NFC,
so let's drop me from the maintainers to clearly indicate that more
hands are needed.

This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
user-visible output.
- The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.
- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
for pte-mapped large folios.
- The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
docs.
- The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
when using CMA on large machines.
- The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
page's mapped/unmapped status.
- The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.
- The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
encountered while runnimg our selftests.
- The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
wasn't being effective.
- The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.
- The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
Kconfig logic.
- The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.
- The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.
- The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
code easier to follow.
- The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
we accidentally added late last year.
- The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.
- The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.
- The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
is updated accordingly.
- The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.
- The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
it claims.
- The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
checks.
- The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.
- The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
exclusively into a single MM.
- The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.
- The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from

Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
cmdline options.
- The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
are generated.
- The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
an xarray split.
- The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
