Linux kernel memory mangement subsystem changes [1] for 6.18-rc1, which includes most new features, are merged into the mainline.

So many interesting works in there. To DAMON maintainer's humble view, two brilliant changes stand out.

1. virtual address space page level monitoring support [2], which was developed by Yueyang Pan (Meta).
2. Support of 32-bit ARM with LPAE [3], which was collaboratively developed by I and Huawei people (Quanmin Yan and Ze Zuo). Most changes are authored by me, but the real workers were Quanmin and Ze from Huawei.

As always I highly recommend everyone to read Andrew's great summary [1] of the whole changes!
