Merge tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-coregrafted

Pull driver core fixes from Danilo Krummrich:

 - Fix kernfs listxattr() not returning security xattr names (e.g.
   SELinux labels) when the kernfs node has no allocated kernfs_iattrs

 - Fix silent truncation of IRQ vector indices in the Rust PCI
   abstractions

 - Don't select OF from DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST; skip the test when OF is
   disabled instead of silently enabling extra kernel functionality

 - Russ Weight is retiring from kernel development; update the Firmware
   Loader sysfs contact to the driver-core mailing list, add a CREDITS
   entry for Firmware Upload, and update MAINTAINERS accordingly

* tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core:
  MAINTAINERS: Remove Russ Weight from Firmware Loader
  CREDITS: Add CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload
  firmware_loader: Change contact for sysfs nodes
  rust: pci: reject IRQ vector indices that do not fit in u32
  kernfs: preserve security xattrs without allocating iattrs
  drivers: base: test: DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST should not select OF

+===============================
+Numa policy hit/miss statistics
+===============================
+
+/sys/devices/system/node/node*/numastat
+
+All units are pages. Hugepages have separate counters.
+
+The numa_hit, numa_miss and numa_foreign counters reflect how well processes
+are able to allocate memory from nodes they prefer. If they succeed, numa_hit
+is incremented on the preferred node, otherwise numa_foreign is incremented on
+the preferred node and numa_miss on the node where allocation succeeded.
+
+Usually preferred node is the one local to the CPU where the process executes,
+but restrictions such as mempolicies can change that, so there are also two
+counters based on CPU local node. local_node is similar to numa_hit and is
+incremented on allocation from a node by CPU on the same node. other_node is
+similar to numa_miss and is incremented on the node where allocation succeeds
+from a CPU from a different node. Note there is no counter analogical to
+numa_foreign.
+
+In more detail:
+
+=============== ============================================================
+numa_hit	A process wanted to allocate memory from this node,
+		and succeeded.
+
+numa_miss	A process wanted to allocate memory from another node,
+		but ended up with memory from this node.
+
+numa_foreign	A process wanted to allocate on this node,
+		but ended up with memory from another node.
+
+local_node	A process ran on this node's CPU,
+		and got memory from this node.
+
+other_node	A process ran on a different node's CPU
+		and got memory from this node.
+
+interleave_hit 	Interleaving wanted to allocate from this node
+		and succeeded.
+=============== ============================================================
+
+For easier reading you can use the numastat utility from the numactl package
+(http://oss.sgi.com/projects/libnuma/). Note that it only works
+well right now on machines with a small number of CPUs.
+
+Note that on systems with memoryless nodes (where a node has CPUs but no
+memory) the numa_hit, numa_miss and numa_foreign statistics can be skewed
+heavily. In the current kernel implementation, if a process prefers a
+memoryless node (i.e.  because it is running on one of its local CPU), the
+implementation actually treats one of the nearest nodes with memory as the
+preferred node. As a result, such allocation will not increase the numa_foreign
+counter on the memoryless node, and will skew the numa_hit, numa_miss and
+numa_foreign statistics of the nearest node.
