[RFC 00/43] PKRAM: Preserved-over-Kexec RAM (Anthony Yznaga) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1588812129-8596-1-git-send-email-anthony.yznaga@oracle.com
This patchset introduces special memory called PKRAM. It can be used to preserve VM guest memory across kexec boot for fast restart (VMM Fast Restart). Compared to DRAM based PMEM simulation, PKRAM is more flexible as the memory size is not need to be previously fixed.
[PATCH] mm: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array (Gustavo A. R. Silva) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200507185942.GA15193@embeddedor
The zero-length array of C90 are widely used in the kernel code base, but the flexible array member of C99 would be better choice.

Literally, this patchset adds the mm_struct pointer to struct page if it is used for page tables. This will be useful for several cases usch as uncorrectable errors handling and task-page table relation checking, etc.
[PATCH v4] mm: Proactive compaction (Nitin Gupta) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200428221055.598-1-nigupta@nvidia.com

This mail also announce the schedule of next year LSFMM. It will be held in Palm Springs, on May 12-14, 2021 at the Riviera Palm Springs.
[PATCH 2/2] mm: support vector address ranges for process_madvise (Minchan Kim) https://lkml.
[RFC] autonuma: Support to scan page table asynchronously (Huang Ying) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200414081951.297676-1-ying.huang@intel.com
AutoNUMA is currently scanning page tables of the processes in the process context and therefore this can increase the latency of the process. This RFC thus makes the page table scanning asynchronous if there are idle CPUs.
[PATCH v4 00/10] Add a new mmap locking API wrapping mmap_sem calls https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200415004353.130248-1-walken@google.com
This is just a repost of the patch series rebased on v5.
