Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2024-05-19-11-56' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull non-mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Mainly singleton patches, documented in their respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Some maintenance and performance work for ocfs2 in Heming Zhao's
     series "improve write IO performance when fragmentation is high".

   - Some ocfs2 bugfixes from Su Yue in the series "ocfs2 bugs fixes
     exposed by fstests".

   - kfifo header rework from Andy Shevchenko in the series "kfifo:
     Clean up kfifo.h".

   - GDB script fixes from Florian Rommel in the series "scripts/gdb:
     Fixes for $lx_current and $lx_per_cpu".

   - After much discussion, a coding-style update from Barry Song
     explaining one reason why inline functions are preferred over
     macros. The series is "codingstyle: avoid unused parameters for a
     function-like macro""
