Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-06-21-10-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "taskstats: fix TGID dead-thread stat retention" (Yiyang Chen)

   Fix a taskstats TGID aggregation bug where fields added in the TGID
   query path were not preserved after thread exit, and adds a kselftest
   covering the regression.

 - "lib/tests: string_helpers: Slight improvements" (Andy Shevchenko)

   Improve lib/tests/string_helpers_kunit.c a little

 - "lib/base64: decode fixes" (Josh Law)

   Address minor issues in lib/base64.c

 - "selftests/filelock: Make output more kselftestish" (Mark Brown)

   Make the output from the ofdlocks test a bit easier for tooling to
   work with. Also ignore the generated file

 - "uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection"
   (Yury Norov)

   Simplify the usercopy code by removing the selectability of inlining
   copy_{from,to}_user().

 - "ocfs2: validate inline xattr header consumers" (ZhengYuan Huang)

   Fix a number of possible issues in the ocfs2 xattr code

 - "lib and lib/cmdline enhancements" (Dmitry Antipov)

   Provide additional robustness checking in the cmdline handling code
   and its in-kernel testing and selftests

 - "cleanup the RAID6 P/Q library" (Christoph Hellwig)

   Clean up the RAID6 P/Q library to match the recent updates to the
   RAID 5 XOR library and other CRC/crypto libraries

 - "ocfs2: harden inode validators against forged metadata" (Michael
   Bommarito)

   Add three structural checks to OCFS2 dinode validation so malformed
   on-disk fields are rejected before ocfs2_populate_inode() copies them
   into the in-core inode

 - "lib/raid: replace __get_free_pages() call with kmalloc()" (Mike
   Rapoport)

   Clean up the lib/raid code by using kmalloc() in more places
