      Pull file locking updates from Jeff Layton:
       "Most of this is just follow-on cleanup work of documentation and
        comments from the mandatory locking removal in v5.15.
      
        The only real functional change is that LOCK_MAND flock() support is
        also being removed, as it has basically been non-functional since the
        v2.5 days"

      Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
       "Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
        head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
        support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
      
        The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
        to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
        was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
        some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
        precise page containing a particular byte.
      
        The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
        head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
        to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
      
        This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
        we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
        filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
        cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
      
        The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
        80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
        startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
        the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
        between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
        of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
        imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
        interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
        create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
        larger than PAGE_SIZE.
      
        I'd like to thank all my reviewers who've offered review/ack tags:

        Weiner, Kirill A. Shutemov, Michal Hocko, Mike Rapoport, Vlastimil
        Babka, William Kucharski, Yu Zhao and Zi Yan.
      
        I'd also like to thank those who gave feedback I incorporated but
        haven't offered up review tags for this part of the series: Nick
        Piggin, Mel Gorman, Ming Lei, Darrick Wong, Ted Ts'o, John Hubbard,
        Hugh Dickins, and probably a few others who I forget"
