mm/madvise: handle madvise_lock() failure during race unwinding
When unwinding race on -ERESTARTNOINTR handling of process_madvise(),
madvise_lock() failure is ignored. Check the failure and abort remaining

mm: fix vmstat after removing NR_BOUNCE
Hongyu noticed that the nr_unaccepted counter kept growing even in the
absence of unaccepted memory on the machine.
This happens due to a commit that removed NR_BOUNCE: it removed the
counter from the enum zone_stat_item, but left it in the vmstat_text
array.
As a result, all counters below nr_bounce in /proc/vmstat are shifted by
one line, causing the numa_hit counter to be labeled as nr_unaccepted.
To fix this issue, remove nr_bounce from the vmstat_text array.

mm: expose abnormal new_pte during move_ptes
When executing move_ptes, the new_pte must be NULL, otherwise it will be overwritten by the old_pte, and cause the abnormal new_pte to be leaked. In order to make this problem to be more explicit, let's add WARN_ON_ONCE when new_pte is not NULL.

mm: fix uprobe pte be overwritten when expanding vma
Patch series "Fix uprobe pte be overwritten when expanding vma".
This patch (of 4):
We encountered a BUG alert triggered by Syzkaller as follows:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:00000000b4a60fca type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1
And we can reproduce it with the following steps:
1. register uprobe on file at zero offset
2. mmap the file at zero offset:
addr1 = mmap(NULL, 2 * 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
3. mremap part of vma1 to new vma2:
addr2 = mremap(addr1, 4096, 2 * 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE);
4. mremap back to orig addr1:
mremap(addr2, 4096, 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED, addr1);
In step 3, the vma1 range [addr1, addr1 + 4096] will be remap to new vma2
with range [addr2, addr2 + 8192], and remap uprobe anon page from the vma1
to vma2, then unmap the vma1 range [addr1, addr1 + 4096].
In step 4, the vma2 range [addr2, addr2 + 4096] will be remap back to the
addr range [addr1, addr1 + 4096]. Since the addr range [addr1 + 4096,
addr1 + 8192] still maps the file, it will take vma_merge_new_range to
expand the range, and then do uprobe_mmap in vma_complete. Since the
merged vma pgoff is also zero offset, it will install uprobe anon page to
the merged vma. However, the upcomming move_page_tables step, which use
set_pte_at to remap the vma2 uprobe pte to the merged vma, will overwrite
the newly uprobe pte in the merged vma, and lead that pte to be orphan.
Since the uprobe pte will be remapped to the merged vma, we can remove the
unnecessary uprobe_mmap upon merged vma.
This problem was first found in linux-6.6.y and also exists in the
community syzkaller:

sched/numa: add statistics of numa balance task
On systems with NUMA balancing enabled, it has been found that tracking task activities resulting from NUMA balancing is beneficial. NUMA balancing employs two mechanisms for task migration: one is to migrate a task to an idle CPU within its preferred node, and the other is to swap tasks located on different nodes when they are on each other's preferred nodes. The kernel already provides NUMA page migration statistics in /sys/fs/cgroup/mytest/memory.stat and /proc/{PID}/sched. However, it lacks statistics regarding task migration and swapping. Therefore, relevant counts for task migration and swapping should be added. The following two new fields: numa_task_migrated numa_task_swapped will be shown in /sys/fs/cgroup/{GROUP}/memory.stat, /proc/{PID}/sched and /proc/vmstat. Introducing both per-task and per-memory cgroup (memcg) NUMA balancing statistics facilitates a rapid evaluation of the performance and resource utilization of the target workload. For instance, users can first identify the container with high NUMA balancing activity and then further pinpoint a specific task within that group, and subsequently adjust the memory policy for that task. In short, although it is possible to iterate through /proc/$pid/sched to locate the problematic task, the introduction of aggregated NUMA balancing activity for tasks within each memcg can assist users in identifying the task more efficiently through a divide-and-conquer approach. As Libo Chen pointed out, the memcg event relies on the text names in vmstat_text, and /proc/vmstat generates corresponding items based on vmstat_text. Thus, the relevant task migration and swapping events introduced in vmstat_text also need to be populated by count_vm_numa_event(), otherwise these values are zero in /proc/vmstat. In theory, task migration and swap events are part of the scheduler's activities. The reason for exposing them through the memory.stat/vmstat interface is that we already have NUMA balancing statistics in memory.stat/vmstat, and these events are closely related to each other. Following Shakeel's suggestion, we describe the end-to-end flow/story of all these events occurring on a timeline for future reference: The goal of NUMA balancing is to co-locate a task and its memory pages on the same NUMA node. There are two strategies: migrate the pages to the task's node, or migrate the task to the node where its pages reside. Suppose a task p1 is running on Node 0, but its pages are located on Node 1. NUMA page fault statistics for p1 reveal its "page footprint" across nodes. If NUMA balancing detects that most of p1's pages are on Node 1: 1.Page Migration Attempt: The Numa balance first tries to migrate p1's pages to Node 0. The numa_page_migrate counter increments. 2.Task Migration Strategies: After the page migration finishes, Numa balance checks every 1 second to see if p1 can be migrated to Node 1. Case 2.1: Idle CPU Available If Node 1 has an idle CPU, p1 is directly scheduled there. This event is logged as numa_task_migrated. Case 2.2: No Idle CPU (Task Swap) If all CPUs on Node1 are busy, direct migration could cause CPU contention or load imbalance. Instead: The Numa balance selects a candidate task p2 on Node 1 that prefers Node 0 (e.g., due to its own page footprint). p1 and p2 are swapped. This cross-node swap is recorded as numa_task_swapped.

mm/khugepaged: fix race with folio split/free using temporary reference
hpage_collapse_scan_file() calls is_refcount_suitable(), which in turn
calls folio_mapcount(). folio_mapcount() checks folio_test_large() before
proceeding to folio_large_mapcount(), but there is a race window where the
folio may get split/freed between these checks, triggering:
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio)
Take a temporary reference to the folio in hpage_collapse_scan_file().
This stabilizes the folio during refcount check and prevents incorrect
large folio detection due to concurrent split/free. Use helper
folio_expected_ref_count() + 1 to compare with folio_ref_count() instead
of using is_refcount_suitable().

mm: add CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER to select page block order
Problem: On large page size configurations (16KiB, 64KiB), the CMA alignment requirement (CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES) increases considerably, and this causes the CMA reservations to be larger than necessary. This means that system will have less available MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE and MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page blocks since MIGRATE_CMA can't fallback to them. The CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES increases because it depends on MAX_PAGE_ORDER which depends on ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. The value of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER increases on 16k and 64k kernels. For example, in ARM, the CMA alignment requirement when: - CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER default value is used - CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is set: PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order | CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 4KiB | 10 | 9 | 4KiB * (2 ^ 9) = 2MiB 16Kib | 11 | 11 | 16KiB * (2 ^ 11) = 32MiB 64KiB | 13 | 13 | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB There are some extreme cases for the CMA alignment requirement when: - CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER maximum value is set - CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is NOT set: - CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is NOT set PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order | CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4KiB | 15 | 15 | 4KiB * (2 ^ 15) = 128MiB 16Kib | 13 | 13 | 16KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 128MiB 64KiB | 13 | 13 | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB This affects the CMA reservations for the drivers. If a driver in a 4KiB kernel needs 4MiB of CMA memory, in a 16KiB kernel, the minimal reservation has to be 32MiB due to the alignment requirements: reserved-memory { ... cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve { compatible = "shared-dma-pool"; size = <0x0 0x400000>; /* 4 MiB */ ... }; }; reserved-memory { ... cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve { compatible = "shared-dma-pool"; size = <0x0 0x2000000>; /* 32 MiB */ ... }; }; Solution: Add a new config CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER that allows to set the page block order in all the architectures. The maximum page block order will be given by ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. By default, CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER will have the same value that ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. This will make sure that current kernel configurations won't be affected by this change. It is a opt-in change. This patch will allow to have the same CMA alignment requirements for large page sizes (16KiB, 64KiB) as that in 4kb kernels by setting a lower pageblock_order. Tests: - Verified that HugeTLB pages work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels. - Verified that Transparent Huge Pages work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels. - Verified that dma-buf heaps allocations work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels. Benchmarks: The benchmarks compare 16kb kernels with pageblock_order 10 and 7.

mm/damon/Kconfig: enable CONFIG_DAMON by default
As of this writing, multiple major distros including Alma, Amazon, Android, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Oracle are build-enabling DAMON (set CONFIG_DAMON[1]). Enabling it by default will save configuration setup time for the current and future DAMON users. Build-enabling DAMON does not introduce a real risk since it makes no behavioral change by default. It requires explicit user requests to do anything. Only one potential risk is making the size of the kernel a little bit larger. On a production-purpose configuration, it increases the resulting kernel package size by about 0.1 % of the final package file. I believe that's too small to be a real problem in common setups. Hence, the benefit of enabling CONFIG_DAMON outweighs the potential risk. Set CONFIG_DAMON by default.

mm/damon/Kconfig: set DAMON_{VADDR,PADDR,SYSFS} default to DAMON
Patch series "mm/damon: build-enable essential DAMON components by default". As of this writing, multiple major distros including Alma, Amazon, Android, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Oracle are build-enabling DAMON (set CONFIG_DAMON[1]). Configuring DAMON is not very easy, since it is disabled by default, and there are multiple essential options that need to be manually turned on, one by one. Make it easier, by grouping essential configurations to be enabled with one selection, and enabling build of the essential parts of DAMON by default. Note that build-enabling DAMON does not introduce any real risk, since it makes no behavioral change by default. It requires explicit user requests to do anything. Only one potential risk is making the size of the kernel a little bit larger. On a production-purpose configuration, it increases the resulting kernel package binary size by about 0.1 % of the final package file. I believe that's too small to be a real problem in common setups. DAMON_{VADDR,PADDR,SYSFS} are de-facto essential parts of DAMON for normal usages. Because those need to be enabled one by one, however, and there are other test-purpose or non-essential configurations, it is easy to be confused and make mistakes at setup. Make the essential configurations default to CONFIG_DAMON, so that those can be enabled by default with a single change.

mm: shmem: only remove inode from swaplist when it's swapped page count is 0
Even if we fail to allocate a swap entry, the inode might have previously
allocated entry and we might take inode containing swap entry off
swaplist. As a result, try_to_unuse() may enter a potential dead loop to
repeatedly look for inode and clean it's swap entry. Only take inode off
swaplist when it's swapped page count is 0 to fix the issue.

...
Restart the iteration if the inode is already off shmem_swaplist list to

Patch series "Some random fixes and cleanup to shmem", v3.
This series contains some simple fixes and cleanup which are made during
learning shmem. More details can be found in respective patches.
This patch (of 5):
If we get a folio from swap_cache_get_folio() successfully but encounter a
failure before the folio is locked, we will unlock the folio which was not
previously locked.
Put the folio and set it to NULL when a failure occurs before the folio is
locked to fix the issue.

memcg: make memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe
Currently kernel maintains memory related stats updates per-cgroup to optimize stats flushing. The stats_updates is defined as atomic64_t which is not nmi-safe on some archs. Actually we don't really need 64bit atomic as the max value stats_updates can get should be less than nr_cpus * MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH. A normal atomic_t should suffice. Also the function cgroup_rstat_updated() is still not nmi-safe but there is parallel effort to make it nmi-safe, so until then let's ignore it in the nmi context.

memcg: nmi safe memcg stats for specific archs
There are archs which have NMI but does not support this_cpu_* ops safely in the nmi context but they support safe atomic ops in nmi context. For such archs, let's add infra to use atomic ops for the memcg stats which can be updated in nmi. At the moment, the memcg stats which get updated in the objcg charging path are MEMCG_KMEM, NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B & NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B. Rather than adding support for all memcg stats to be nmi safe, let's just add infra to make these three stats nmi safe which this patch is doing.

memcg: disable kmem charging in nmi for unsupported arch
Patch series "memcg: nmi-safe kmem charging", v4. Users can attached their BPF programs at arbitrary execution points in the kernel and such BPF programs may run in nmi context. In addition, these programs can trigger memcg charged kernel allocations in the nmi context. However memcg charging infra for kernel memory is not equipped to handle nmi context for all architectures. This series removes the hurdles to enable kmem charging in the nmi context for most of the archs. For archs without CONFIG_HAVE_NMI, this series is a noop. For archs with NMI support and have CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS, the previous work to make memcg stats re-entrant is sufficient for allowing kmem charging in nmi context. For archs with NMI support but without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and with ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, this series added infra to support kmem charging in nmi context. Lastly those archs with NMI support but without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, kmem charging in nmi context is not supported at all. Mostly used archs have support for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and this series should be almost a noop (other than making memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe) for such archs. This patch (of 5): The memcg accounting and stats uses this_cpu* and atomic* ops. There are archs which define CONFIG_HAVE_NMI but does not define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so memcg accounting for such archs in nmi context is not possible to support. Let's just disable memcg accounting in nmi context for such archs.

- The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code.

require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30
x86 already uses gcc-8 as the minimum version, this changes all other architectures to the same version. gcc-8 is used is Debian 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, both of which are still supported, and binutils 2.30 is the oldest corresponding version on those. Ubuntu Pro 18.04 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 both use gcc-7 as the system compiler but additionally include toolchains that remain supported. With the new minimum toolchain versions, a number of workarounds for older versions can be dropped, in particular on x86_64 and arm64. Importantly, the updated compiler version allows removing two of the five remaining gcc plugins, as support for sancov and structeak features is already included in modern compiler versions. I tried collecting the known changes that are possible based on the new toolchain version, but expect that more cleanups will be possible. Since this touches multiple architectures, I merged the patches through the asm-generic tree. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEo6/YBQwIrVS28WGKmmx57+YAGNkFAmg6vNMACgkQmmx57+YA GNkOmg/+LtR9B2P27GPBeG8HnLTZ8hKELiyYeSk6ZFgQv5hevE37HV35Yru7e7gu wcF6CgYr8ff4CVcHM7y0790oGew1thkqq5CklFIH0EwCDJx/mWfZR1SS2jfZIEWM HSDOlQQd1S8oWia14tSnQos3nW3CB9/ABVTHH+Wvl3xn48WMRvgK2LJgGLuxJrt8 5DD9auHiLjchWB5tB4DU98IgWWgFUGMTsI6IayZ4dkF4CdWqd89h0Y3pjJYeBgHS mPxzR2q8WjEmG9hp7QuZQgn/pAYleJAwHvvkoLrkQ2ieqx3FjWiwFbQp4CG1Sc8L eBR1lnkqS2z/e7xJLfe86fOoKWWu4I0tZKhRan/0+UOGm5nXrGpqSxKS8ZDsRuAp 3fvyhIp1cYSa7Xkok8BFhLEFR0tguXJXnXBc3tWE5VXIfFNd0Ohh1GUYhXDAqWKh i0jN9dSNhokM3AqBi6qZl5kmBnRA3UsIaOg3QRrqN8IlBPp+u7i5xsrJIUWvD95o TO06admmLcCJT8n6ZfNVfRjBgzu8+t54UVaDx9YYwxoNGOSFwqOb8CSPTWPxLmDr RKDUOvO8DBlP7uFz9neP+LxluA3DjurRZvb0z0AmCZ8/RXEmTMCyfP5a6esxquXt 0Bqo6hM9q+TeXTHNS1CNvqLSWWikw+AzS/ZPPvriYFn5lxtbq6c= =pdDC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'gcc-minimum-version-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic Pull compiler version requirement update from Arnd Bergmann: "Require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30 x86 already uses gcc-8 as the minimum version, this changes all other architectures to the same version. gcc-8 is used is Debian 10 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, both of which are still supported, and binutils 2.30 is the oldest corresponding version on those.

Networking changes for 6.16.
Core ---- - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire. - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope, under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times faster. - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane scalability. - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded abstraction layers and improving significantly the related micro-benchmarks. - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10% performance improvement in related stream tests. - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable() on PREMPT_RT. - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages. Netfilter --------- - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still use this interface. - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and flowtables. - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure. - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better introspection. BPF --- - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs using the "tc qdisc" command. - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets. Protocols --------- - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%. - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server. - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always matches the nexthop device. - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS, and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs. - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit in the fast path. - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks. Driver API ---------- - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new unsupported flags. - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs. - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for dump operations targeting PHYs.

The route control path is now 3x times faster. - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane scalability. - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded abstraction layers and improving significantly the related micro-benchmarks. - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10% performance improvement in related stream tests. - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable() on PREMPT_RT. - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages. Netfilter: - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still use this interface. - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and flowtables. - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure. - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better introspection. BPF: - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs using the "tc qdisc" command. - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets. Protocols: - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%. - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server. - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always matches the nexthop device. - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS, and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs. - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit in the fast path. - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks. Driver API: - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new unsupported flags. - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs. - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for dump operations targeting PHYs. Tests and tooling: - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and qdisc layer configuration. - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic netlink output. - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage. - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

arm64 updates for 6.16
ACPI, EFI and PSCI: - Decouple Arm's "Software Delegated Exception Interface" (SDEI) support from the ACPI GHES code so that it can be used by platforms booted with device-tree. - Remove unnecessary per-CPU tracking of the FPSIMD state across EFI runtime calls. - Fix a node refcount imbalance in the PSCI device-tree code. CPU Features: - Ensure register sanitisation is applied to fields in ID_AA64MMFR4. - Expose AIDR_EL1 to userspace via sysfs, primarily so that KVM guests can reliably query the underlying CPU types from the VMM. - Re-enabling of SME support (CONFIG_ARM64_SME) as a result of fixes to our context-switching, signal handling and ptrace code. Entry code: - Hook up TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY so that CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY can be selected. Memory management: - Prevent BSS exports from being used by the early PI code. - Propagate level and stride information to the low-level TLB invalidation routines when operating on hugetlb entries. - Use the page-table contiguous hint for vmap() mappings with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP where possible. - Optimise vmalloc()/vmap() page-table updates to use "lazy MMU mode" and hook this up on arm64 so that the trailing DSB (used to publish the updates to the hardware walker) can be deferred until the end of the mapping operation. - Extend mmap() randomisation for 52-bit virtual addresses (on par with 48-bit addressing) and remove limited support for randomisation of the linear map. Perf and PMUs: - Add support for probing the CMN-S3 driver using ACPI. - Minor driver fixes to the CMN, Arm-NI and amlogic PMU drivers. Selftests: - Fix FPSIMD and SME tests to align with the freshly re-enabled SME support. - Fix default setting of the OUTPUT variable so that tests are installed in the right location. vDSO: - Replace raw counter access from inline assembly code with a call to the the __arch_counter_get_cntvct() helper function. Miscellaneous: - Add some missing header inclusions to the CCA headers. - Rework rendering of /proc/cpuinfo to follow the x86-approach and avoid repeated buffer expansion (the user-visible format remains identical). - Remove redundant selection of CONFIG_CRC32 - Extend early error message when failing to map the device-tree blob. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFEBAABCgAuFiEEPxTL6PPUbjXGY88ct6xw3ITBYzQFAmg1uTgQHHdpbGxAa2Vy bmVsLm9yZwAKCRC3rHDchMFjNFv2CAC9S5OW0btOAo7V/LFBpLhJM3hdIV6Sn6N1 d/K5znuqPBG6VPfBrshaZltEl/C3U8KG4H8xrlX5cSo7CRuf3DgVBw3kiZ6ERZj6 1gnKR54juA1oWhcroPl0s76ETWj3N4gO036u2qOhWNAYflDunh1+bCIGJkG4H/yP wqtWn974YUbad/zQJSbG3IMO1yvxZ/PsNpVF8HjyQ0/ZPWsYTscrhNQ0hWro17sR CTcUaGxH4GrXW24EGNgkLB9aq67X2rtGGtaIlp5oFl8FuLklc7TYbPwJp8cPCTNm 0Sp0mpuR9M675pYIKoCI9m5twc46znRIKmbXi5LvPd77418y3jTf =03N4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "The headline feature is the re-enablement of support for Arm's Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) thanks to a bumper crop of fixes from Mark Rutland.

cgroup: Changes for v6.16
- cgroup rstat shared the tracking tree across all controlers with the rationale being that a cgroup which is using one resource is likely to be using other resources at the same time (ie. if something is allocating memory, it's probably consuming CPU cycles). However, this turned out to not scale very well especially with memcg using rstat for internal operations which made memcg stat read and flush patterns substantially different from other controllers. JP Kobryn split the rstat tree per controller. - cgroup BPF support was hooking into cgroup init/exit paths directly. Convert them to use a notifier chain instead so that other usages can be added easily. The two of the patches which implement this are mislabeled as belonging to sched_ext instead of cgroup.

mm: pcp: increase pcp->free_count threshold to trigger free_high
In old pcp design, pcp->free_factor gets incremented in nr_pcp_free() which is invoked by free_pcppages_bulk(). So, it used to increase free_factor by 1 only when we try to reduce the size of pcp list and free_high used to trigger only for order > 0 and order < costly_order and pcp->free_factor > 0. For iperf3 I noticed that with older design in kernel v6.6, pcp list was drained mostly when pcp->count > high (more often when count goes above 530). and most of the time pcp->free_factor was 0, triggering very few high order flushes. But this is changed in the current design, introduced in commit |

mm/hugetlb: refactor __unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio instead of page
The function __unmap_hugepage_range() has two kinds of users: 1) unmap_hugepage_range(), which passes in the head page of a folio. Since unmap_hugepage_range() already takes folio and there are no other uses of the folio struct in the function, it is natural for __unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio also. 2) All other uses, which pass in NULL pointer. In both cases, we can pass in folio. Refactor __unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio.

mm/hugetlb: pass folio instead of page to unmap_ref_private()
Patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page", v4. This patch (of 4): unmap_ref_private() has only a single user, which passes in &folio->page.

mm/filemap: unify dropbehind flag testing and clearing
The read and write side does this a bit differently, unify it such that the _{read,write} helpers check the bit before locking, and the generic handler is in charge of clearing the bit and invalidating, once under the folio lock.

mm/filemap: use filemap_end_dropbehind() for read invalidation
Use the filemap_end_dropbehind() helper rather than calling
folio_unmap_invalidate() directly, as we need to check if the folio has
been redirtied or marked for writeback once the folio lock has been
re-acquired.

mm/filemap: gate dropbehind invalidate on folio !dirty && !writeback
It's possible for the folio to either get marked for writeback or
redirtied. Add a helper, filemap_end_dropbehind(), which guards the
folio_unmap_invalidate() call behind check for the folio being both
non-dirty and not under writeback AFTER the folio lock has been
acquired. Use this helper folio_end_dropbehind_write().

Features: - Use folios for symlinks in the page cache FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page() - Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS inode->i_mutex level - Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently allow through out sysctl interface A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2 million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries after initialization To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1. Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache recovery completes To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100 of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache pressure control The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1, vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20 million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode restart performance degradation - Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely() - Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when descending into devcgroup_inode_permission() - Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput() - Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert. Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode - Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their own private superblock - Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock - Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior - Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead() Cleanups: - Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers - Try to remove the uselib() system call - Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll - Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select - Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse - Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir() - Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages - Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs documentation - Update main netfs API document - Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan() - Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns() - Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases Fixes: - Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description - Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc() - Correct comments of fs_validate_description() - Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in vfs_parse_monolithic_sep() - Delete macro fsparam_u32hex() - Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table() - Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name() - Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles" * tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (43 commits) fs: Pass a folio to page_put_link() nfs: Use a folio in nfs_get_link() fs: Convert __page_get_link() to use a folio fs/read_write: make default_llseek() killable fs/open: make do_truncate() killable fs/open: make chmod_common() and chown_common() killable include/linux/fs.h: add inode_lock_killable() readdir: supply dir_context.count as readdir buffer size hint vfs: Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations fuse: don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying Documentation: fix typo in root= kernel parameter description include/cgroup: separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op case kernel/nsproxy: remove unnecessary guards fs: use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages fs: remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan() fs: add S_ANON_INODE fs: remove uselib() system call device_cgroup: avoid access to ->i_rdev in the common case in devcgroup_inode_permission() fs/fs_parse: Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table() fs: touch up predicts in inode_permission() ... |

RDMA/core: Avoid hmm_dma_map_alloc() for virtual DMA devices
Drivers such as rxe, which use virtual DMA, must not call into the DMA
mapping core since they lack physical DMA capabilities. Otherwise, a NULL
pointer dereference is observed as shown below. This patch ensures the RDMA
core handles virtual and physical DMA paths appropriately.
This fixes the following kernel oops:

mm: fix copy_vma() error handling for hugetlb mappings
If, during a mremap() operation for a hugetlb-backed memory mapping, copy_vma() fails after the source vma has been duplicated and opened (ie. vma_link() fails), the error is handled by closing the new vma. This updates the hugetlbfs reservation counter of the reservation map which at this point is referenced by both the source vma and the new copy. As a result, once the new vma has been freed and copy_vma() returns, the reservation counter for the source vma will be incorrect. This patch addresses this corner case by clearing the hugetlb private page reservation reference for the new vma and decrementing the reference before closing the vma, so that vma_close() won't update the reservation counter. This is also what copy_vma_and_data() does with the source vma if copy_vma() succeeds, so a helper function has been added to do the fixup in both functions. The issue was reported by a private syzbot instance and can be reproduced using the C reproducer in [1]. It's also a possible duplicate of public syzbot report [2].

memcg: always call cond_resched() after fn()
I am seeing soft lockup on certain machine types when a cgroup OOMs. This
is happening because killing the process in certain machine might be very
slow, which causes the soft lockup and RCU stalls. This happens usually
when the cgroup has MANY processes and memory.oom.group is set.
Example I am seeing in real production:
[462012.244552] Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 3370438 (crosvm) ....
....
[462037.318059] Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 4171372 (adb) ....
[462037.348314] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#64 stuck for 26s! [stat_manager-ag:1618982]
....
Quick look at why this is so slow, it seems to be related to serial flush
for certain machine types. For all the crashes I saw, the target CPU was
at console_flush_all().
In the case above, there are thousands of processes in the cgroup, and it
is soft locking up before it reaches the 1024 limit in the code (which
would call the cond_resched()). So, cond_resched() in 1024 blocks is not
sufficient.
Remove the counter-based conditional rescheduling logic and call
cond_resched() unconditionally after each task iteration, after fn() is
called. This avoids the lockup independently of how slow fn() is.

memcg: objcg stock trylock without irq disabling
There is no need to disable irqs to use objcg per-cpu stock, so let's just not do that but consume_obj_stock() and refill_obj_stock() will need to use trylock instead to avoid deadlock against irq. One consequence of this change is that the charge request from irq context may take slowpath more often but it should be rare.

memcg: no stock lock for cpu hot-unplug
Previously on the cpu hot-unplug, the kernel would call drain_obj_stock() with objcg local lock. However local lock was not needed as the stock which was accessed belongs to a dead cpu but we kept it there to disable irqs as drain_obj_stock() may call mod_objcg_mlstate() which required irqs disabled. However there is no need to disable irqs now for mod_objcg_mlstate(), so we can remove the local lock altogether from cpu hot-unplug path.

memcg: make __mod_memcg_lruvec_state re-entrant safe against irqs
Let's make __mod_memcg_lruvec_state re-entrant safe and name it mod_memcg_lruvec_state(). The only thing needed is to convert the usage of __this_cpu_add() to this_cpu_add(). There are two callers of mod_memcg_lruvec_state() and one of them i.e. __mod_objcg_mlstate() will be re-entrant safe as well, so, rename it mod_objcg_mlstate(). The last caller __mod_lruvec_state() still calls __mod_node_page_state() which is not re-entrant safe yet, so keep it as is.

memcg: memcg_rstat_updated re-entrant safe against irqs
Patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe", v2. This series converts memcg stats to be irq safe i.e. memcg stats can be updated in any context (task, softirq or hardirq) without disabling the irqs. This is still not nmi-safe on all architectures but after this series converting memcg charging and stats nmi-safe will be easier. This patch (of 7): memcg_rstat_updated() is used to track the memcg stats updates for optimizing the flushes. At the moment, it is not re-entrant safe and the callers disabled irqs before calling. However to achieve the goal of updating memcg stats without irqs, memcg_rstat_updated() needs to be re-entrant safe against irqs. This patch makes memcg_rstat_updated() re-entrant safe using this_cpu_* ops. On archs with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS, this patch is also making memcg_rstat_updated() nmi safe.

mm/damon/core: warn and fix nr_accesses[_bp] corruption
Patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents". Yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents. This patch (of 6): For a bug such as double aggregation reset[1], ->nr_accesses and/or ->nr_accesses_bp of damon_region could be corrupted. Such corruption can make monitoring results pretty inaccurate, so the root causing bug should be investigated. Meanwhile, the corruption itself can easily be fixed but silently fixing it will hide the bug. Fix the corruption as soon as found, but WARN_ONCE() so that we can be aware of the existence of the bug while keeping the system running in a more sane way.

mm: rename try_alloc_pages() to alloc_pages_nolock()
The "try_" prefix is confusing, since it made people believe that try_alloc_pages() is analogous to spin_trylock() and NULL return means EAGAIN. This is not the case. If it returns NULL there is no reason to call it again. It will most likely return NULL again. Hence rename it to alloc_pages_nolock() to make it symmetrical to free_pages_nolock() and document that NULL means ENOMEM.

mm: convert do_set_pmd() to take a folio
In do_set_pmd(), we always use the folio->page to build PMD mappings for the entire folio. Since all callers of do_set_pmd() already hold a stable folio, converting do_set_pmd() to take a folio is safe and more straightforward. In addition, to ensure the extensibility of do_set_pmd() for supporting larger folios beyond PMD size, we keep the 'page' parameter to specify which page within the folio should be mapped. No functional changes expected.

mm: convert VM_PFNMAP tracking to pfnmap_track() + pfnmap_untrack()
Let's use our new interface. In remap_pfn_range(), we'll now decide whether we have to track (full VMA covered) or only lookup the cachemode (partial VMA covered). Remember what we have to untrack by linking it from the VMA. When duplicating VMAs (e.g., splitting, mremap, fork), we'll handle it similar to anon VMA names, and use a kref to share the tracking. Once the last VMA un-refs our tracking data, we'll do the untracking, which simplifies things a lot and should sort our various issues we saw recently, for example, when partially unmapping/zapping a tracked VMA. This change implies that we'll keep tracking the original PFN range even after splitting + partially unmapping it: not too bad, because it was not working reliably before. The only thing that kind-of worked before was shrinking such a mapping using mremap(): we managed to adjust the reservation in a hacky way, now we won't adjust the reservation but leave it around until all involved VMAs are gone. If that ever turns out to be an issue, we could hook into VM splitting code and split the tracking; however, that adds complexity that might not be required, so we'll keep it simple for now.

mm: mincore: use pte_batch_hint() to batch process large folios
When I tested the mincore() syscall, I observed that it takes longer with 64K mTHP enabled on my Arm64 server. The reason is the mincore_pte_range() still checks each PTE individually, even when the PTEs are contiguous, which is not efficient. Thus we can use pte_batch_hint() to get the batch number of the present contiguous PTEs, which can improve the performance. I tested the mincore() syscall with 1G anonymous memory populated with 64K mTHP, and observed an obvious performance improvement: w/o patch w/ patch changes 6022us 549us +91% Moreover, I also tested mincore() with disabling mTHP/THP, and did not see any obvious regression for base pages.

According to this report,there is a read/write data-race because
m->private is accessible to multiple CPUs. To fix this, instead of
allocating the heap in proc_vmalloc_init() and passing the heap address to
m->private, vmalloc_info_show() should allocate the heap.

mm/mempolicy: Weighted Interleave Auto-tuning
On machines with multiple memory nodes, interleaving page allocations across nodes allows for better utilization of each node's bandwidth. Previous work by Gregory Price [1] introduced weighted interleave, which allowed for pages to be allocated across nodes according to user-set ratios. Ideally, these weights should be proportional to their bandwidth, so that under bandwidth pressure, each node uses its maximal efficient bandwidth and prevents latency from increasing exponentially. Previously, weighted interleave's default weights were just 1s -- which would be equivalent to the (unweighted) interleave mempolicy, which goes through the nodes in a round-robin fashion, ignoring bandwidth information. This patch has two main goals: First, it makes weighted interleave easier to use for users who wish to relieve bandwidth pressure when using nodes with varying bandwidth (CXL). By providing a set of "real" default weights that just work out of the box, users who might not have the capability (or wish to) perform experimentation to find the most optimal weights for their system can still take advantage of bandwidth-informed weighted interleave. Second, it allows for weighted interleave to dynamically adjust to hotplugged memory with new bandwidth information. Instead of manually updating node weights every time new bandwidth information is reported or taken off, weighted interleave adjusts and provides a new set of default weights for weighted interleave to use when there is a change in bandwidth information. To meet these goals, this patch introduces an auto-configuration mode for the interleave weights that provides a reasonable set of default weights, calculated using bandwidth data reported by the system. In auto mode, weights are dynamically adjusted based on whatever the current bandwidth information reports (and responds to hotplug events). This patch still supports users manually writing weights into the nodeN sysfs interface by entering into manual mode. When a user enters manual mode, the system stops dynamically updating any of the node weights, even during hotplug events that shift the optimal weight distribution. A new sysfs interface "auto" is introduced, which allows users to switch between the auto (writing 1 or Y) and manual (writing 0 or N) modes. The system also automatically enters manual mode when a nodeN interface is manually written to. There is one functional change that this patch makes to the existing weighted_interleave ABI: previously, writing 0 directly to a nodeN interface was said to reset the weight to the system default. Before this patch, the default for all weights were 1, which meant that writing 0 and 1 were functionally equivalent. With this patch, writing 0 is invalid.

kasan: avoid sleepable page allocation from atomic context
apply_to_pte_range() enters the lazy MMU mode and then invokes
kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() callback on each page table walk iteration.
However, the callback can go into sleep when trying to allocate a single

On s390 if make arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_enable() and
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_disable(), such crash occurs:

mm/page_alloc.c: avoid infinite retries caused by cpuset race
__alloc_pages_slowpath has no change detection for ac->nodemask in the
part of retry path, while cpuset can modify it in parallel. For some
processes that set mempolicy as MPOL_BIND, this results ac->nodemask
changes, and then the should_reclaim_retry will judge based on the latest
nodemask and jump to retry, while the get_page_from_freelist only
traverses the zonelist from ac->preferred_zoneref, which selected by a
expired nodemask and may cause infinite retries in some cases
cpu 64:
__alloc_pages_slowpath {
/* ..... */
retry:
/* ac->nodemask = 0x1, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
if (alloc_flags & ALLOC_KSWAPD)
wake_all_kswapds(order, gfp_mask, ac);
/* cpu 1:
cpuset_write_resmask
update_nodemask
update_nodemasks_hier
update_tasks_nodemask
mpol_rebind_task
mpol_rebind_policy
mpol_rebind_nodemask
// mempolicy->nodes has been modified,
// which ac->nodemask point to
*/
/* ac->nodemask = 0x3, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
if (should_reclaim_retry(gfp_mask, order, ac, alloc_flags,
did_some_progress > 0, &no_progress_loops))
goto retry;
}
Simultaneously starting multiple cpuset01 from LTP can quickly reproduce
this issue on a multi node server when the maximum memory pressure is
reached and the swap is enabled

memcg: no irq disable for memcg stock lock
There is no need to disable irqs to use memcg per-cpu stock, so let's just not do that. One consequence of this change is if the kernel while in task context has the memcg stock lock and that cpu got interrupted. The memcg charges on that cpu in the irq context will take the slow path of memcg charging. However that should be super rare and should be fine in general.

memcg: separate local_trylock for memcg and obj
The per-cpu stock_lock protects cached memcg and cached objcg and their respective fields. However there is no dependency between these fields and it is better to have fine grained separate locks for cached memcg and cached objcg.

memcg: simplify consume_stock
Patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks", v3. The per-cpu memcg charge cache and objcg charge cache are coupled in a single struct memcg_stock_pcp and a single local lock is used to protect both of the caches. This makes memcg charging and objcg charging nmi safe challenging. Decoupling memcg and objcg stocks would allow us to make them nmi safe and even work without disabling irqs independently. This series completely decouples memcg and objcg stocks. To evaluate the impact of this series with and without PREEMPT_RT config, we ran varying number of netperf clients in different cgroups on a 72 CPU machine. $ netserver -6 $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K PREEMPT_RT config: ------------------ number of clients | Without series | With series 6 | 38559.1 Mbps | 38652.6 Mbps 12 | 37388.8 Mbps | 37560.1 Mbps 18 | 30707.5 Mbps | 31378.3 Mbps 24 | 25908.4 Mbps | 26423.9 Mbps 30 | 22347.7 Mbps | 22326.5 Mbps 36 | 20235.1 Mbps | 20165.0 Mbps !PREEMPT_RT config: ------------------- number of clients | Without series | With series 6 | 50235.7 Mbps | 51415.4 Mbps 12 | 49336.5 Mbps | 49901.4 Mbps 18 | 46306.8 Mbps | 46482.7 Mbps 24 | 38145.7 Mbps | 38729.4 Mbps 30 | 30347.6 Mbps | 31698.2 Mbps 36 | 26976.6 Mbps | 27364.4 Mbps No performance regression was observed. This patch (of 4): consume_stock() does not need to check gfp_mask for spinning and can simply trylock the local lock to decide to proceed or fail. No need to spin at all for local lock. One of the concern raised was that on PREEMPT_RT kernels, this trylock can fail more often due to tasks having lock_lock can be preempted. This can potentially cause the task which have preempted the task having the local_lock to take the slow path of memcg charging. However this behavior will only impact the performance if memcg charging slowpath is worse than two context switches and possibly scheduling delay behavior of current code. From the network intensive workload experiment it does not seem like the case. We ran varying number of netperf clients in different cgroups on a 72 CPU machine for PREEMPT_RT config. $ netserver -6 $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K number of clients | Without series | With series 6 | 38559.1 Mbps | 38652.6 Mbps 12 | 37388.8 Mbps | 37560.1 Mbps 18 | 30707.5 Mbps | 31378.3 Mbps 24 | 25908.4 Mbps | 26423.9 Mbps 30 | 22347.7 Mbps | 22326.5 Mbps 36 | 20235.1 Mbps | 20165.0 Mbps We don't see any significant performance difference for the network intensive workload with this series.

mm/vma: remove mmap() retry merge
We have now introduced a mechanism that obviates the need for a reattempted merge via the mmap_prepare() file hook, so eliminate this functionality altogether. The retry merge logic has been the cause of a great deal of complexity in the past and required a great deal of careful manoeuvring of code to ensure its continued and correct functionality. It has also recently been involved in an issue surrounding maple tree state, which again points to its problematic nature. We make it much easier to reason about mmap() logic by eliminating this and simply writing a VMA once. This also opens the doors to future optimisation and improvement in the mmap() logic. For any device or file system which encounters unwanted VMA fragmentation as a result of this change (that is, having not implemented .mmap_prepare hooks), the issue is easily resolvable by doing so.

mm: secretmem: convert to .mmap_prepare() hook
Secretmem has a simple .mmap() hook which is easily converted to the new .mmap_prepare() callback. Importantly, it's a rare instance of an driver that manipulates a VMA which is mergeable (that is, not a VM_SPECIAL mapping) while also adjusting VMA flags which may adjust mergeability, meaning the retry merge logic might impact whether or not the VMA is merged. By using .mmap_prepare() there's no longer any need to retry the merge later as we can simply set the correct flags from the start. This change therefore allows us to remove the retry merge logic in a subsequent commit.

mm: perform VMA allocation, freeing, duplication in mm
Right now these are performed in kernel/fork.c which is odd and a violation of separation of concerns, as well as preventing us from integrating this and related logic into userland VMA testing going forward. There is a fly in the ointment - nommu - mmap.c is not compiled if CONFIG_MMU not set, and neither is vma.c. To square the circle, let's add a new file - vma_init.c. This will be compiled for both CONFIG_MMU and nommu builds, and will also form part of the VMA userland testing. This allows us to de-duplicate code, while maintaining separation of concerns and the ability for us to userland test this logic. Update the VMA userland tests accordingly, additionally adding a detach_free_vma() helper function to correctly detach VMAs before freeing them in test code, as this change was triggering the assert for this.

mm: move dup_mmap() to mm
This is a key step in our being able to abstract and isolate VMA allocation and destruction logic. This function is the last one where vm_area_free() and vm_area_dup() are directly referenced outside of mmap, so having this in mm allows us to isolate these. We do the same for the nommu version which is substantially simpler. We place the declaration for dup_mmap() in mm/internal.h and have kernel/fork.c import this in order to prevent improper use of this functionality elsewhere in the kernel. While we're here, we remove the useless #ifdef CONFIG_MMU check around mmap_read_lock_maybe_expand() in mmap.c, mmap.c is compiled only if CONFIG_MMU is set.

mm: abstract initial stack setup to mm subsystem
There are peculiarities within the kernel where what is very clearly mm code is performed elsewhere arbitrarily. This violates separation of concerns and makes it harder to refactor code to make changes to how fundamental initialisation and operation of mm logic is performed. One such case is the creation of the VMA containing the initial stack upon execve()'ing a new process. This is currently performed in __bprm_mm_init() in fs/exec.c. Abstract this operation to create_init_stack_vma(). This allows us to limit use of vma allocation and free code to fork and mm only. We previously did the same for the step at which we relocate the initial stack VMA downwards via relocate_vma_down(), now we move the initial VMA establishment too. Take the opportunity to also move insert_vm_struct() to mm/vma.c as it's no longer needed anywhere outside of mm.

mm: establish mm/vma_exec.c for shared exec/mm VMA functionality
Patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm", v3. Currently VMA allocation, freeing and duplication exist in kernel/fork.c, which is a violation of separation of concerns, and leaves these functions exposed to the rest of the kernel when they are in fact internal implementation details. Resolve this by moving this logic to mm, and making it internal to vma.c, vma.h. This also allows us, in future, to provide userland testing around this functionality. We additionally abstract dup_mmap() to mm, being careful to ensure kernel/fork.c acceses this via the mm internal header so it is not exposed elsewhere in the kernel. As part of this change, also abstract initial stack allocation performed in __bprm_mm_init() out of fs code into mm via the create_init_stack_vma(), as this code uses vm_area_alloc() and vm_area_free(). In order to do so sensibly, we introduce a new mm/vma_exec.c file, which contains the code that is shared by mm and exec. This file is added to both memory mapping and exec sections in MAINTAINERS so both sets of maintainers can maintain oversight. As part of this change, we also move relocate_vma_down() to mm/vma_exec.c so all shared mm/exec functionality is kept in one place. We add code shared between nommu and mmu-enabled configurations in order to share VMA allocation, freeing and duplication code correctly while also keeping these functions available in userland VMA testing. This is achieved by adding a mm/vma_init.c file which is also compiled by the userland tests. This patch (of 4): There is functionality that overlaps the exec and memory mapping subsystems. While it properly belongs in mm, it is important that exec maintainers maintain oversight of this functionality correctly. We can establish both goals by adding a new mm/vma_exec.c file which contains these 'glue' functions, and have fs/exec.c import them. As a part of this change, to ensure that proper oversight is achieved, add the file to both the MEMORY MAPPING and EXEC & BINFMT API, ELF sections. scripts/get_maintainer.pl can correctly handle files in multiple entries and this neatly handles the cross-over.

mm/mm_init: use for_each_valid_pfn() in init_unavailable_range()
Currently, memmap_init initializes pfn_hole with 0 instead of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. Then init_unavailable_range will start iterating each page from the page at address zero to the first available page, but it won't do anything for pages below ARCH_PFN_OFFSET because pfn_valid won't pass. If ARCH_PFN_OFFSET is very large (e.g., something like 2^64-2GiB if the kernel is used as a library and loaded at a very high address), the pointless iteration for pages below ARCH_PFN_OFFSET will take a very long time, and the kernel will look stuck at boot time. Use for_each_valid_pfn() to skip the pointless iterations.

memmap_init() iterates all the way from zero to a potentially large value
of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET, and we at Amazon found the reserve_bootmem_region()
one as it affects hypervisor live update. Others are more cosmetic.
By introducing a for_each_valid_pfn() helper it can optimise away a lot of
pointless calls to pfn_valid(), skipping immediately to the next valid PFN
and also skipping *all* checks within a valid (sub)region according to the
granularity of the memory model in use.

memblock: add KHO support for reserve_mem
Linux has recently gained support for "reserve_mem": A mechanism to allocate a region of memory early enough in boot that we can cross our fingers and hope it stays at the same location during most boots, so we can store for example ftrace buffers into it. Thanks to KASLR, we can never be really sure that "reserve_mem" allocations are static across kexec. Let's teach it KHO awareness so that it serializes its reservations on kexec exit and deserializes them again on boot, preserving the exact same mapping across kexec. This is an example user for KHO in the KHO patch set to ensure we have at least one (not very controversial) user in the tree before extending KHO's use to more subsystems.

kexec: add Kexec HandOver (KHO) generation helpers
Add the infrastructure to generate Kexec HandOver metadata. Kexec HandOver is a mechanism that allows Linux to preserve state - arbitrary properties as well as memory locations - across kexec. It does so using 2 concepts: 1) KHO FDT - Every KHO kexec carries a KHO specific flattened device tree blob that describes preserved memory regions. Device drivers can register to KHO to serialize and preserve their states before kexec. 2) Scratch Regions - CMA regions that we allocate in the first kernel. CMA gives us the guarantee that no handover pages land in those regions, because handover pages must be at a static physical memory location. We use these regions as the place to load future kexec images so that they won't collide with any handover data.

memblock: add support for scratch memory
With KHO (Kexec HandOver), we need a way to ensure that the new kernel does not allocate memory on top of any memory regions that the previous kernel was handing over. But to know where those are, we need to include them in the memblock.reserved array which may not be big enough to hold all ranges that need to be persisted across kexec. To resize the array, we need to allocate memory. That brings us into a catch 22 situation. The solution to that is limit memblock allocations to the scratch regions: safe regions to operate in the case when there is memory that should remain intact across kexec. KHO provides several "scratch regions" as part of its metadata. These scratch regions are contiguous memory blocks that known not to contain any memory that should be persisted across kexec. These regions should be large enough to accommodate all memblock allocations done by the kexeced kernel. We introduce a new memblock_set_scratch_only() function that allows KHO to indicate that any memblock allocation must happen from the scratch regions. Later, we may want to perform another KHO kexec. For that, we reuse the same scratch regions. To ensure that no eventually handed over data gets allocated inside a scratch region, we flip the semantics of the scratch region with memblock_clear_scratch_only(): After that call, no allocations may happen from scratch memblock regions. We will lift that restriction in the next patch.

memblock: add MEMBLOCK_RSRV_KERN flag
Patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)", v8. Kexec today considers itself purely a boot loader: When we enter the new kernel, any state the previous kernel left behind is irrelevant and the new kernel reinitializes the system. However, there are use cases where this mode of operation is not what we actually want. In virtualization hosts for example, we want to use kexec to update the host kernel while virtual machine memory stays untouched. When we add device assignment to the mix, we also need to ensure that IOMMU and VFIO states are untouched. If we add PCIe peer to peer DMA, we need to do the same for the PCI subsystem. If we want to kexec while an SEV-SNP enabled virtual machine is running, we need to preserve the VM context pages and physical memory. See "pkernfs: Persisting guest memory and kernel/device state safely across kexec" Linux Plumbers Conference 2023 presentation for details: https://lpc.events/event/17/contributions/1485/ To start us on the journey to support all the use cases above, this patch implements basic infrastructure to allow hand over of kernel state across kexec (Kexec HandOver, aka KHO). As a really simple example target, we use memblock's reserve_mem. With this patchset applied, memory that was reserved using "reserve_mem" command line options remains intact after kexec and it is guaranteed to reside at the same physical address. == Alternatives == There are alternative approaches to (parts of) the problems above: * Memory Pools [1] - preallocated persistent memory region + allocator * PRMEM [2] - resizable persistent memory regions with fixed metadata pointer on the kernel command line + allocator * Pkernfs [3] - preallocated file system for in-kernel data with fixed address location on the kernel command line * PKRAM [4] - handover of user space pages using a fixed metadata page specified via command line All of the approaches above fundamentally have the same problem: They require the administrator to explicitly carve out a physical memory location because they have no mechanism outside of the kernel command line to pass data (including memory reservations) between kexec'ing kernels. KHO provides that base foundation. We will determine later whether we still need any of the approaches above for fast bulk memory handover of for example IOMMU page tables. But IMHO they would all be users of KHO, with KHO providing the foundational primitive to pass metadata and bulk memory reservations as well as provide easy versioning for data. == Overview == We introduce a metadata file that the kernels pass between each other. How they pass it is architecture specific. The file's format is a Flattened Device Tree (fdt) which has a generator and parser already included in Linux. KHO is enabled in the kernel command line by `kho=on`. When the root user enables KHO through /sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/finalize, the kernel invokes callbacks to every KHO users to register preserved memory regions, which contain drivers' states. When the actual kexec happens, the fdt is part of the image set that we boot into. In addition, we keep "scratch regions" available for kexec: physically contiguous memory regions that are guaranteed to not have any memory that KHO would preserve. The new kernel bootstraps itself using the scratch regions and sets all handed over memory as in use. When drivers initialize that support KHO, they introspect the fdt, restore preserved memory regions, and retrieve their states stored in the preserved memory. == Limitations == Currently KHO is only implemented for file based kexec. The kernel interfaces in the patch set are already in place to support user space kexec as well, but it is still not implemented it yet inside kexec tools. == How to Use == To use the code, please boot the kernel with the "kho=on" command line parameter. KHO will automatically create scratch regions. If you want to set the scratch size explicitly you can use "kho_scratch=" command line parameter. For instance, "kho_scratch=16M,512M,256M" will reserve a 16 MiB low memory scratch area, a 512 MiB global scratch region, and 256 MiB per NUMA node scratch regions on boot. Make sure to have a reserved memory range requested with reserv_mem command line option, for example, "reserve_mem=64m:4k:n1". Then before you invoke file based "kexec -l", finalize KHO FDT: # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/finalize You can preview the generated FDT using `dtc`, # dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/fdt # dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/sub_fdts/memblock `dtc` is available on ubuntu by `sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler`. Now kexec into the new kernel, # kexec -l Image --initrd=initrd -s # kexec -e (The order of KHO finalization and "kexec -l" does not matter.) The new kernel will boot up and contain the previous kernel's reserve_mem contents at the same physical address as the first kernel. You can also review the FDT passed from the old kernel, # dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/in/fdt # dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/in/sub_fdts/memblock This patch (of 17): To denote areas that were reserved for kernel use either directly with memblock_reserve_kern() or via memblock allocations.

mm: add max swappiness arg to lru_gen for anonymous memory only
The MGLRU already supports reclaiming only from anonymous memory via the /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen interface. Now, memory.reclaim also supports the swappiness=max parameter to enable reclaiming solely from anonymous memory. To unify the semantics of proactive reclaiming from anonymous folios, the max parameter is introduced.

mm: add swappiness=max arg to memory.reclaim for only anon reclaim
Patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen", v4. This patchset adds max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen for anon only proactive memory reclaim. With commit <68cd9050d871> ("mm: add swappiness= arg to memory.reclaim") we can submit an additional swappiness=<val> argument to memory.reclaim. It is very useful because we can dynamically adjust the reclamation ratio based on the anonymous folios and file folios of each cgroup. For example,when swappiness is set to 0, we only reclaim from file folios. But we can not relciam memory just from anon folios. This patchset introduces a new macro, SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY, defined as MAX_SWAPPINESS + 1, represent the max arg semantics. It specifically indicates that reclamation should occur only from anonymous pages. Patch 1 adds swappiness=max arg to memory.reclaim suggested-by: Yosry Ahmed Patch 2 add more comments for cache_trim_mode from Johannes Weiner in [1]. Patch 3 add max arg to lru_gen for proactive memory reclaim in MGLRU. The MGLRU already supports reclaiming exclusively from anonymous pages. This patch formalizes that behavior by introducing a max parameter to represent the corresponding semantics. Patch 4 using SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY in MGLRU Using SWAPPINESS_ANON_ONLY instead of MAX_SWAPPINESS + 1 to indicate reclaiming only from anonymous pages makes the code more readable and explicit Here is the previous discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250314033350.1156370-1-hezhongkun.hzk@bytedance.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250312094337.2296278-1-hezhongkun.hzk@bytedance.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250318135330.3358345-1-hezhongkun.hzk@bytedance.com/ This patch (of 4): With commit <68cd9050d871> ("mm: add swappiness= arg to memory.reclaim") we can submit an additional swappiness=<val> argument to memory.reclaim. It is very useful because we can dynamically adjust the reclamation ratio based on the anonymous folios and file folios of each cgroup. For example,when swappiness is set to 0, we only reclaim from file folios. However,we have also encountered a new issue: when swappiness is set to the MAX_SWAPPINESS, it may still only reclaim file folios. So, we hope to add a new arg 'swappiness=max' in memory.reclaim where proactive memory reclaim only reclaims from anonymous folios when swappiness is set to max. The swappiness semantics from a user perspective remain unchanged. For example, something like this: echo "2M swappiness=max" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 'max' (a new mode) regardless of the file folios. Users have a more comprehensive view of the application's memory distribution because there are many metrics available. For example, if we find that a certain cgroup has a large number of inactive anon folios, we can reclaim only those and skip file folios, because with the zram/zswap, the IO tradeoff that cache_trim_mode or other file first logic is making doesn't hold - file refaults will cause IO, whereas anon decompression will not. With this patch, the swappiness argument of memory.reclaim has a new mode 'max', means reclaiming just from anonymous folios both in traditional LRU and MGLRU.

memcg: introduce non-blocking limit setting option
Setting the max and high limits can trigger synchronous reclaim and/or oom-kill if the usage is higher than the given limit. This behavior is fine for newly created cgroups but it can cause issues for the node controller while setting limits for existing cgroups. In our production multi-tenant and overcommitted environment, we are seeing priority inversion when the node controller dynamically adjusts the limits of running jobs of different priorities. Based on the system situation, the node controller may reduce the limits of lower priority jobs and increase the limits of higher priority jobs. However we are seeing node controller getting stuck for long period of time while reclaiming from lower priority jobs while setting their limits and also spends a lot of its own CPU. One of the workaround we are trying is to fork a new process which sets the limit of the lower priority job along with setting an alarm to get itself killed if it get stuck in the reclaim for lower priority job. However we are finding it very unreliable and costly. Either we need a good enough time buffer for the alarm to be delivered after setting limit and potentialy spend a lot of CPU in the reclaim or be unreliable in setting the limit for much shorter but cheaper (less reclaim) alarms. Let's introduce new limit setting option which does not trigger reclaim and/or oom-kill and let the processes in the target cgroup to trigger reclaim and/or throttling and/or oom-kill in their next charge request. This will make the node controller on multi-tenant overcommitted environment much more reliable. Explanation from Johannes on side-effects of O_NONBLOCK limit change: It's usually the allocating tasks inside the group bearing the cost of limit enforcement and reclaim. This allows a (privileged) updater from outside the group to keep that cost in there - instead of having to help, from a context that doesn't necessarily make sense. I suppose the tradeoff with that - and the reason why this was doing sync reclaim in the first place - is that, if the group is idle and not trying to allocate more, it can take indefinitely for the new limit to actually be met. It should be okay in most scenarios in practice. As the capacity is reallocated from group A to B, B will exert pressure on A once it tries to claim it and thereby shrink it down. If A is idle, that shouldn't be hard. If A is running, it's likely to fault/allocate soon-ish and then join the effort. It does leave a (malicious) corner case where A is just busy-hitting its memory to interfere with the clawback. This is comparable to reclaiming memory.low overage from the outside, though, which is an acceptable risk. Users of O_NONBLOCK just need to be aware.

mm/memcg: move mem_cgroup_init() ahead of cgroup_init()
Patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc", v3. (willy tldr: "you've gone from allocating 8 objects per 32KiB to allocating 13 objects per 32KiB, a 62% improvement in memory consumption" [1]) The mem_cgroup_alloc function creates mem_cgroup struct and it's associated structures including mem_cgroup_per_node. Through detailed analysis on our test machine (Arm64, 16GB RAM, 6.6 kernel, 1 NUMA node, memcgv2 with nokmem,nosocket,cgroup_disable=pressure), we can observe the memory allocation for these structures using the following shell commands: # Enable tracing echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmalloc | grep mem_cgroup # Trigger allocation if cgroup subtree do not enable memcg echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control Ftrace Output: # mem_cgroup struct allocation sh-6312 [000] ..... 58015.698365: kmalloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xd8/0x5b4 ptr=000000003e4c3799 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false # mem_cgroup_per_node allocation sh-6312 [000] ..... 58015.698389: kmalloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1d8/0x5b4 ptr=00000000d798700c bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false Key Observations: 1. Both structures use kmalloc with requested sizes between 2KB-4KB 2. Allocation alignment forces 4KB slab usage due to pre-defined sizes (64B, 128B,..., 2KB, 4KB, 8KB) 3. Memory waste per memcg instance: Base struct: 4096 - 2312 = 1784 bytes Per-node struct: 4096 - 2896 = 1200 bytes Total waste: 2984 bytes (1-node system) NUMA scaling: (1200 + 8) * nr_node_ids bytes So, it's a little waste. This patchset introduces dedicated kmem_cache: Patch2 - mem_cgroup kmem_cache - memcg_cachep Patch3 - mem_cgroup_per_node kmem_cache - memcg_pn_cachep The benefits of this change can be observed with the following tracing commands: # Enable tracing echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/enable echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmem_cache_alloc | grep mem_cgroup # In another terminal: echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control The output might now look like this: # mem_cgroup struct allocation sh-9827 [000] ..... 289.513598: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=00000000695c1806 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2368 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false # mem_cgroup_per_node allocation sh-9827 [000] ..... 289.513602: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=000000002989e63a bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2944 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false This indicates that the `mem_cgroup` struct now requests 2312 bytes and is allocated 2368 bytes, while `mem_cgroup_per_node` requests 2896 bytes and is allocated 2944 bytes. The slight increase in allocated size is due to `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` in the `kmem_cache`. Without `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN`, the allocation might appear as: # mem_cgroup struct allocation sh-9269 [003] ..... 80.396366: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=000000005b12b475 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2312 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false # mem_cgroup_per_node allocation sh-9269 [003] ..... 80.396411: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=00000000f347adc6 bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2896 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false While the `bytes_alloc` now matches the `bytes_req`, this patchset defaults to using `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` as it is generally considered more beneficial for performance. Please let me know if there are any issues or if I've misunderstood anything. This patchset also move mem_cgroup_init ahead of cgroup_init() due to cgroup_init() will allocate root_mem_cgroup, but each initcall invoke after cgroup_init, so if each kmem_cache do not prepare, we need testing NULL before use it. This patch (of 3): When cgroup_init() creates root_mem_cgroup through css_alloc callback, some critical resources might not be fully initialized, forcing later operations to perform conditional checks for resource availability. This patch move mem_cgroup_init() to address the init order, it invoke before cgroup_init, so, compare to subsys_initcall, it can use to prepare some key resources before root_mem_cgroup alloc.

mm/huge_memory: adjust try_to_migrate_one() and split_huge_pmd_locked()
Patch series "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers", v2. The patch series enhances the folio verification by leveraging the existing page_vma_mapped_walk() mechanism and removing redundant folio pointer passing. This patch (of 2): split_huge_pmd_locked() currently performs redundant checks for migration entries and folio validation that are already handled by the page_vma_mapped_walk mechanism in try_to_migrate_one. Specifically, page_vma_mapped_walk already ensures that: - The folio is properly mapped in the given VMA area - pmd_trans_huge, pmd_devmap, and migration entry validation are performed To leverage page_vma_mapped_walk's work, moving TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD handling to the while loop checking and removing these duplicate checks from split_huge_pmd_locked.

vmscan,cgroup: apply mems_effective to reclaim
It is possible for a reclaimer to cause demotions of an lruvec belonging to a cgroup with cpuset.mems set to exclude some nodes. Attempt to apply this limitation based on the lruvec's memcg and prevent demotion. Notably, this may still allow demotion of shared libraries or any memory first instantiated in another cgroup. This means cpusets still cannot cannot guarantee complete isolation when demotion is enabled, and the docs have been updated to reflect this. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently - with the noted exceptions. Note on locking: The cgroup_get_e_css reference protects the css->effective_mems, and calls of this interface would be subject to the same race conditions associated with a non-atomic access to cs->effective_mems. So while this interface cannot make strong guarantees of correctness, it can therefore avoid taking a global or rcu_read_lock for performance.

cpuset: rename cpuset_node_allowed to cpuset_current_node_allowed
Patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion", v5. Change reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. Presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. Implement cpuset_node_allowed() to check the cpuset.mems_effective associated wih the mem_cgroup of the lruvec being scanned. This only applies to cgroup/cpuset v2, as cpuset exists in a different hierarchy than mem_cgroup in v1. This requires renaming the existing cpuset_node_allowed() to be cpuset_current_now_allowed() - which is more descriptive anyway - to implement the new cpuset_node_allowed() which takes a target cgroup. This patch (of 2): Rename cpuset_node_allowed to reflect that the function checks the current task's cpuset.mems. This allows us to make a new cpuset_node_allowed function that checks a target cgroup's cpuset.mems.

execmem: enforce allocation size aligment to PAGE_SIZE
Before introduction of ROX cache execmem allocation size was always
implicitly aligned to PAGE_SIZE inside vmalloc.
However, when allocation happens from the ROX cache, this is not
enforced.
Make sure that the allocation size is always consistently aligned to
PAGE_SIZE.
Mike said:
: Right now it'll make the maple trees in execmem_cache more compact.
: And it's a precaution for the case when execmem callers would want to
: change permissions on unaligned range because that would WARN_ON()
: loudly.
Peter said
: It should not have a runtime effect -- currently all this code is used
: with PAGE_SIZE multiples and everything just works. But whilst I was
: perusing this code, I noticed that nothing actually enforced this. If
: someone were to break this assumption things will go sideways.

mm/vmalloc.c: find the vmap of vmap_nodes in reverse order
When finding VA in vn->busy, if VA spans several zones and the passed addr is not the same as va->va_start, we should scan the vn in reverse odrdr because the starting address of VA must be smaller than the passed addr if it really resides in the VA. E.g on a system nr_vmap_nodes=100, <----va----> -|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|- ... n-1 n n+1 n+2 ... 100 0 1 VA resides in node 'n' whereas it spans 'n', 'n+1' and 'n+2'. If passed addr is within 'n+2', we should try nodes backwards on 'n+1' and 'n', then succeed very soon. Meanwhile we still need loop around because VA could spans node from 'n' to node 100, node 0, node 1. Anyway, changing to find in reverse order can improve efficiency on many CPUs system.

mm/damon/core: introduce damos quota goal metrics for memory node utilization
Patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory". Utilizing DAMON for memory tiering usually requires manual tuning and/or tedious controls. Let it self-tune hotness and coldness thresholds for promotion and demotion aiming high utilization of high memory tiers, by introducing new DAMOS quota goal metrics representing the used and the free memory ratios of specific NUMA nodes. And introduce a sample DAMON module that demonstrates how the new feature can be used for memory tiering use cases. Backgrounds =========== A type of tiered memory system exposes the memory tiers as NUMA nodes. A straightforward pages placement strategy for such systems is placing access-hot and cold pages on upper and lower tiers, reespectively, pursuing higher utilization of upper tiers. Since access temperature can be dynamic, periodically finding and migrating hot pages and cold pages to proper tiers (promoting and demoting) is also required. Linux kernel provides several features for such dynamic and transparent pages placement. Page Faults and LRU ------------------- One widely known way is using NUMA balancing in tiering mode (a.k.a NUMAB-2) and reclaim-based demotion features. In the setup, NUMAB-2 finds hot pages using access check-purpose page faults (a.k.a prot_none) and promote those inside each process' context, until there is no more pages to promote, or the upper tier is filled up and memory pressure happens. In the latter case, LRU-based reclaim logic wakes up as a response to the memory pressure and demotes cold pages to lower tiers in asynchronous (kswapd) and/or synchronous ways (direct reclaim). DAMON ----- Yet another available solution is using DAMOS with migrate_hot and migrate_cold DAMOS actions for promotions and demotions, respectively. To make it optimum, users need to specify aggressiveness and access temperature thresholds for promotions and demotions in a good balance that results in high utilization of upper tiers. The number of parameters is not small, and optimum parameter values depend on characteristics of the underlying hardware and the workload. As a result, it often requires manual, time consuming and repetitive tuning of the DAMOS schemes for given workloads and systems combinations. Self-tuned DAMON-based Memory Tiering ===================================== To solve such manual tuning problems, DAMOS provides aim-oriented feedback-driven quotas self-tuning. Using the feature, we design a self-tuned DAMON-based memory tiering for general multi-tier memory systems. For each memory tier node, if it has a lower tier, run a DAMOS scheme that demotes cold pages of the node, auto-tuning the aggressiveness aiming an amount of free space of the node. The free space is for keeping the headroom that avoids significant memory pressure during upper tier memory usage spike, and promoting hot pages from the lower tier. For each memory tier node, if it has an upper tier, run a DAMOS scheme that promotes hot pages of the current node to the upper tier, auto-tuning the aggressiveness aiming a high utilization ratio of the upper tier. The target ratio is to ensure higher tiers are utilized as much as possible. It should match with the headroom for demotion scheme, but have slight overlap, to ensure promotion and demotion are not entirely stopped. The aim-oriented aggressiveness auto-tuning of DAMOS is already available. Hence, to make such tiering solution implementation, only new quota goal metrics for utilization and free space ratio of specific NUMA node need to be developed. Discussions =========== The design imposes below discussion points. Expected Behaviors ------------------ The system will let upper tier memory node accommodates as many hot data as possible. If total amount of the data is less than the top tier memory's promotion/demotion target utilization, entire data will be just placed on the top tier. Promotion scheme will do nothing since there is no data to promote. Demotion scheme will also do nothing since the free space ratio of the top tier is higher than the goal. Only if the amount of data is larger than the top tier's utilization ratio, demotion scheme will demote cold pages and ensure the headroom free space. Since the promotion and demotion schemes for a single node has small overlap at their target utilization and free space goals, promotions and demotions will continue working with a moderate aggressiveness level. It will keep all data is placed on access hotness under dynamic access pattern, while minimizing the migration overhead. In any case, each node will keep headroom free space and as many upper tiers are utilized as possible. Ease of Use ----------- Users still need to set the target utilization and free space ratio, but it will be easier to set. We argue 99.7 % utilization and 0.5 % free space ratios can be good default values. It can be easily adjusted based on desired headroom size of given use case. Users are also still required to answer the minimum coldness and hotness thresholds. Together with monitoring intervals auto-tuning[2], DAMON will always show meaningful amount of hot and cold memory. And DAMOS quota's prioritization mechanism will make good decision as long as the source information is that colorful. Hence, users can very naively set the minimum criterias. We believe any access observation and no access observation within last one aggregation interval is enough for minimum hot and cold regions criterias. General Tiered Memory Setup Applicability ----------------------------------------- The design can be applied to any number of tiers having any performance characteristics, as long as they can be hierarchical. Hence, applying the system to different tiered memory system will be straightforward. Note that this assumes only single CPU NUMA node case. Because today's DAMON is not aware of which CPU made each access, applying this on systems having multiple CPU NUMA nodes can be complicated. We are planning to extend DAMON for the use case, but that's out of the scope of this patch series. How To Use ---------- Users can implement the auto-tuned DAMON-based memory tiering using DAMON sysfs interface. It can be easily done using DAMON user-space tool like user-space tool. Below evaluation results section shows an example DAMON user-space tool command for that. For wider and simpler deployment, having a kernel module that sets up and run the DAMOS schemes via DAMON kernel API can be useful. The module can enable the memory tiering at boot time via kernel command line parameter or at run time with single command. This patch series implements a sample DAMON kernel module that shows how such module can be implemented. Comparison To Page Faults and LRU-based Approaches -------------------------------------------------- The existing page faults based promotion (NUMAB-2) does hot pages detection and migration in the process context. When there are many pages to promote, it can block the progress of the application's real works. DAMOS works in asynchronous worker thread, so it doesn't block the real works. NUMAB-2 doesn't provide a way to control aggressiveness of promotion other than the maximum amount of pages to promote per given time widnow. If hot pages are found, promotions can happen in the upper-bound speed, regardless of upper tier's memory pressure. If the maximum speed is not well set for the given workload, it can result in slow promotion or unnecessary memory pressure. Self-tuned DAMON-based memory tiering alleviates the problem by adjusting the speed based on current utilization of the upper tier. LRU-based demotion can be triggered in both asynchronous (kswapd) and synchronous (direct reclaim) ways. Other than the way of finding cold pages, asynchronous LRU-based demotion and DAMON-based demotion has no big difference. DAMON-based demotion can make a better balancing with DAMON-based promotion, though. The LRU-based demotion can do better than DAMON-based demotion when the tier is having significant memory pressure. It would be wise to use DAMON-based demotion as a proactive and primary one, but utilizing LRU-based demotions together as a fast backup solution. Evaluation ========== In short, under a setup that requires fast and frequent promotions, self-tuned DAMON-based memory tiering's hot pages promotion improves performance about 4.42 %. We believe this shows self-tuned DAMON-based promotion's effectiveness. Meanwhile, NUMAB-2's hot pages promotion degrades the performance about 7.34 %. We suspect the degradation is mostly due to NUMAB-2's synchronous nature that can block the application's progress, which highlights the advantage of DAMON-based solution's asynchronous nature. Note that the test was done with the RFC version of this patch series. We don't run it again since this patch series got no meaningful change after the RFC, while the test takes pretty long time. Setup ----- Hardware. Use a machine that equips 250 GiB DRAM memory tier and 50 GiB CXL memory tier. The tiers are exposed as NUMA nodes 0 and 1, respectively. Kernel. Use Linux kernel v6.13 that modified as following. Add all DAMON patches that available on mm tree of 2025-03-15, and this patch series. Also modify it to ignore mempolicy() system calls, to avoid bad effects from application's traditional NUMA systems assumed optimizations. Workload. Use a modified version of Taobench benchmark[3] that available on DCPerf benchmark suite. It represents an in-memory caching workload. We set its 'memsize', 'warmup_time', and 'test_time' parameter as 340 GiB, 2,500 seconds and 1,440 seconds. The parameters are chosen to ensure the workload uses more than DRAM memory tier. Its RSS under the parameter grows to 270 GiB within the warmup time. It turned out the workload has a very static access pattrn. Only about 13 % of the RSS is frequently accessed from the beginning to end. Hence promotion shows no meaningful performance difference regardless of different design and implementations. We therefore modify the kernel to periodically demote up to 10 GiB hot pages and promote up to 10 GiB cold pages once per minute. The intention is to simulate periodic access pattern changes. The hotness and coldness threshold is very naively set so that it is more like random access pattern change rather than strict hot/cold pages exchange. This is why we call the workload as "modified". It is implemented as two DAMOS schemes each running on an asynchronous thread. It can be reproduced with DAMON user-space tool like below. # ./damo start \ --ops paddr --numa_node 0 --monitoring_intervals 10s 200s 200s \ --damos_action migrate_hot 1 \ --damos_quota_interval 60s --damos_quota_space 10G \ --ops paddr --numa_node 1 --monitoring_intervals 10s 200s 200s \ --damos_action migrate_cold 0 \ --damos_quota_interval 60s --damos_quota_space 10G \ --nr_schemes 1 1 --nr_targets 1 1 --nr_ctxs 1 1 System configurations. Use below variant system configurations. - Baseline. No memory tiering features are turned on. - Numab_tiering. On the baseline, enable NUMAB-2 and relcaim-based demotion. In detail, following command is executed: echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing; echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled; echo 7 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode - DAMON_tiering. On the baseline, utilize self-tuned DAMON-based memory tiering implementation via DAMON user-space tool. It utilizes two kernel threads, namely promotion thread and demotion thread. Demotion thread monitors access pattern of DRAM node using DAMON with auto-tuned monitoring intervals aiming 4% DAMON-observed access ratio, and demote coldest pages up to 200 MiB per second aiming 0.5% free space of DRAM node. Promotion thread monitors CXL node using same intervals auto-tuning, and promote hot pages in same way but aiming for 99.7% utilization of DRAM node. Because DAMON provides only best-effort accuracy, add young page DAMOS filters to allow only and reject all young pages at promoting and demoting, respectively. It can be reproduced with DAMON user-space tool like below. # ./damo start \ --numa_node 0 --monitoring_intervals_goal 4% 3 5ms 10s \ --damos_action migrate_cold 1 --damos_access_rate 0% 0% \ --damos_apply_interval 1s \ --damos_quota_interval 1s --damos_quota_space 200MB \ --damos_quota_goal node_mem_free_bp 0.5% 0 \ --damos_filter reject young \ --numa_node 1 --monitoring_intervals_goal 4% 3 5ms 10s \ --damos_action migrate_hot 0 --damos_access_rate 5% max \ --damos_apply_interval 1s \ --damos_quota_interval 1s --damos_quota_space 200MB \ --damos_quota_goal node_mem_used_bp 99.7% 0 \ --damos_filter allow young \ --damos_nr_quota_goals 1 1 --damos_nr_filters 1 1 \ --nr_targets 1 1 --nr_schemes 1 1 --nr_ctxs 1 1 Measurment Results ------------------ On each system configuration, run the modified version of Taobench and collect 'score'. 'score' is a metric that calculated and provided by Taobench to represents the performance of the run on the system. To handle the measurement errors, repeat the measurement five times. The results are as below. Config Score Stdev (%) Normalized Baseline 1.6165 0.0319 1.9764 1.0000 Numab_tiering 1.4976 0.0452 3.0209 0.9264 DAMON_tiering 1.6881 0.0249 1.4767 1.0443 'Config' column shows the system config of the measurement. 'Score' column shows the 'score' measurement in average of the five runs on the system config. 'Stdev' column shows the standsard deviation of the five measurements of the scores. '(%)' column shows the 'Stdev' to 'Score' ratio in percentage. Finally, 'Normalized' column shows the averaged score values of the configs that normalized to that of 'Baseline'. The periodic hot pages demotion and cold pages promotion that was conducted to simulate dynamic access pattern was started from the beginning of the workload. It resulted in the DRAM tier utilization always under the watermark, and hence no real demotion was happened for all test runs. This means the above results show no difference between LRU-based and DAMON-based demotions. Only difference between NUMAB-2 and DAMON-based promotions are represented on the results. Numab_tiering config degraded the performance about 7.36 %. We suspect this happened because NUMAB-2's synchronous promotion was blocking the Taobench's real work progress. DAMON_tiering config improved the performance about 4.43 %. We believe this shows effectiveness of DAMON-based promotion that didn't block Taobench's real work progress due to its asynchronous nature. Also this means DAMON's monitoring results are accurate enough to provide visible amount of improvement. Evaluation Limitations ---------------------- As mentioned above, this evaluation shows only comparison of promotion mechanisms. DAMON-based tiering is recommended to be used together with reclaim-based demotion as a faster backup under significant memory pressure, though. From some perspective, the modified version of Taobench may seems making the picture distorted too much. It would be better to evaluate with more realistic workload, or more finely tuned micro benchmarks. Patch Sequence ============== The first patch (patch 1) implements two new quota goal metrics on core layer and expose it to DAMON core kernel API. The second and third ones (patches 2 and 3) further link it to DAMON sysfs interface. Three following patches (patches 4-6) document the new feature and sysfs file on design, usage, and ABI documents. The final one (patch 7) implements a working version of a self-tuned DAMON-based memory tiering solution in an incomplete but easy to understand form as a kernel module under samples/damon/ directory.

maccess: fix strncpy_from_user_nofault() empty string handling
strncpy_from_user_nofault() should return the length of the copied string including the trailing NUL, but if the argument unsafe_addr points to an empty string ({'\0'}), the return value is 0. This happens as strncpy_from_user() copies terminal symbol into dst and returns 0 (as expected), but strncpy_from_user_nofault does not modify ret as it is not equal to count and not greater than 0, so 0 is returned, which contradicts the contract.

mm/mempolicy: support memory hotplug in weighted interleave
The weighted interleave policy distributes page allocations across multiple NUMA nodes based on their performance weight, thereby improving memory bandwidth utilization. The weight values for each node are configured through sysfs. Previously, sysfs entries for configuring weighted interleave were created for all possible nodes (N_POSSIBLE) at initialization, including nodes that might not have memory. However, not all nodes in N_POSSIBLE are usable at runtime, as some may remain memoryless or offline. This led to sysfs entries being created for unusable nodes, causing potential misconfiguration issues. To address this issue, this patch modifies the sysfs creation logic to: 1) Limit sysfs entries to nodes that are online and have memory, avoiding the creation of sysfs entries for nodes that cannot be used. 2) Support memory hotplug by dynamically adding and removing sysfs entries based on whether a node transitions into or out of the N_MEMORY state. Additionally, the patch ensures that sysfs attributes are properly managed when nodes go offline, preventing stale or redundant entries from persisting in the system. By making these changes, the weighted interleave policy now manages its sysfs entries more efficiently, ensuring that only relevant nodes are considered for interleaving, and dynamically adapting to memory hotplug events.

mm/mempolicy: prepare weighted interleave sysfs for memory hotplug
Previously, the weighted interleave sysfs structure was statically managed during initialization. This prevented new nodes from being recognized when memory hotplug events occurred, limiting the ability to update or extend sysfs entries dynamically at runtime. To address this, this patch refactors the sysfs infrastructure and encapsulates it within a new structure, `sysfs_wi_group`, which holds both the kobject and an array of node attribute pointers. By allocating this group structure globally, the per-node sysfs attributes can be managed beyond initialization time, enabling external modules to insert or remove node entries in response to events such as memory hotplug or node online/offline transitions. Instead of allocating all per-node sysfs attributes at once, the initialization path now uses the existing sysfs_wi_node_add() and sysfs_wi_node_delete() helpers. This refactoring makes it possible to modularly manage per-node sysfs entries and ensures the infrastructure is ready for runtime extension.

mm/mempolicy: fix memory leaks in weighted interleave sysfs
Patch series "Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted
interleave", v9.
The following patch series enhances the weighted interleave policy in the
memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support.
This patch (of 3):
Memory leaks occurred when removing sysfs attributes for weighted
interleave. Improper kobject deallocation led to unreleased memory when
initialization failed or when nodes were removed.
The risk of leak is low because it only appears to trigger if setup
fails. Setup only fails due to -ENOMEM which is unlikely to happen
from a late_initcall() when memory pressure is low.
This patch resolves the issue by replacing unnecessary `kfree()` calls
with proper `kobject_del()` and `kobject_put()` sequences, ensuring
correct teardown and preventing memory leaks.
By explicitly calling `kobject_del()` before `kobject_put()`, the release
function is now invoked safely, and internal sysfs state is correctly
cleaned up. This guarantees that the memory associated with the kobject
is fully released and avoids resource leaks, thereby improving system
stability.
Additionally, sysfs_remove_file() is no longer called from the release
function to avoid accessing invalid sysfs state after kobject_del(). All
attribute removals are now done before kobject_del(), preventing WARN_ON()
in kernfs and ensuring safe and consistent cleanup of sysfs entries.

After the check for queue_folio_required(), the code only cares about the folio in the for loop, i.e the PTEs are redundant. Therefore, optimize this loop by skipping over a PTE batch mapping the same folio. With a test program migrating pages of the calling process, which includes a mapped VMA of size 4GB with pte-mapped large folios of order-9, and migrating once back and forth node-0 and node-1, the average execution time reduces from 7.5 to 4 seconds, giving an approx 47% speedup.

mm: move mmap/vma locking logic into specific files
Currently the VMA and mmap locking logic is entangled in two of the most overwrought files in mm - include/linux/mm.h and mm/memory.c. Separate this logic out so we can more easily make changes and create an appropriate MAINTAINERS entry that spans only the logic relating to locking. This should have no functional change. Care is taken to avoid dependency loops, we must regrettably keep release_fault_lock() and assert_fault_locked() in mm.h as a result due to the dependence on the vm_fault type. Additionally we must declare rcuwait_wake_up() manually to avoid a dependency cycle on linux/rcuwait.h. Additionally move the nommu implementatino of lock_mm_and_find_vma() to mmap_lock.c so everything lock-related is in one place.

memcg: multi-memcg percpu charge cache
Memory cgroup accounting is expensive and to reduce the cost, the kernel maintains per-cpu charge cache for a single memcg. So, if a charge request comes for a different memcg, the kernel will flush the old memcg's charge cache and then charge the newer memcg a fixed amount (64 pages), subtracts the charge request amount and stores the remaining in the per-cpu charge cache for the newer memcg. This mechanism is based on the assumption that the kernel, for locality, keep a process on a CPU for long period of time and most of the charge requests from that process will be served by that CPU's local charge cache. However this assumption breaks down for incoming network traffic in a multi-tenant machine. We are in the process of running multiple workloads on a single machine and if such workloads are network heavy, we are seeing very high network memory accounting cost. We have observed multiple CPUs spending almost 100% of their time in net_rx_action and almost all of that time is spent in memcg accounting of the network traffic. More precisely, net_rx_action is serving packets from multiple workloads and is observing/serving mix of packets of these workloads. The memcg switch of per-cpu cache is very expensive and we are observing a lot of memcg switches on the machine. Almost all the time is being spent on charging new memcg and flushing older memcg cache. So, definitely we need per-cpu cache that support multiple memcgs for this scenario. This patch implements a simple (and dumb) multiple memcg percpu charge cache. Actually we started with more sophisticated LRU based approach but the dumb one was always better than the sophisticated one by 1% to 3%, so going with the simple approach. Some of the design choices are: 1. Fit all caches memcgs in a single cacheline. 2. The cache array can be mix of empty slots or memcg charged slots, so the kernel has to traverse the full array. 3. The cache drain from the reclaim will drain all cached memcgs to keep things simple. To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran the following workload where each netperf client runs in a different cgroup. The next-20250415 kernel is used as base. $ netserver -6 $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K number of clients | Without patch | With patch 6 | 42584.1 Mbps | 48603.4 Mbps (14.13% improvement) 12 | 30617.1 Mbps | 47919.7 Mbps (56.51% improvement) 18 | 25305.2 Mbps | 45497.3 Mbps (79.79% improvement) 24 | 20104.1 Mbps | 37907.7 Mbps (88.55% improvement) 30 | 14702.4 Mbps | 30746.5 Mbps (109.12% improvement) 36 | 10801.5 Mbps | 26476.3 Mbps (145.11% improvement) The results show drastic improvement for network intensive workloads.

mm/gup: remove unneeded checking in follow_page_pte()
Patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements", v4. These were made from code inspection in mm/gup.c. This patch (of 3): In __get_user_pages(), it will traverse page table and take a reference to the page the given user address corresponds to if GUP_GET or GUP_PIN is set. However, it's not supported both GUP_GET and GUP_PIN are set. Even though this check need be done, it should be done earlier, but not doing it till entering into follow_page_pte() and failed. Furthermore, this checking has been done in is_valid_gup_args() and all external users of __get_user_pages() will call is_valid_gup_args() to catch the illegal setting. We don't need to worry about internal users of __get_user_pages() because the gup_flags are set by MM code correctly. Here remove the checking in follow_page_pte(), and add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() to catch the possible exceptional setting just in case. And also change the VM_BUG_ON to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() for checking (!!pages != !!(gup_flags & (FOLL_GET | FOLL_PIN))) because the checking has been done in is_valid_gup_args() for external users of __get_user_pages().

mm, hugetlb: avoid passing a null nodemask when there is mbind policy
Before trying to allocate a page, gather_surplus_pages() sets up a nodemask for the nodes we can allocate from, but instead of passing the nodemask down the road to the page allocator, it iterates over the nodes within that nodemask right there, meaning that the page allocator will receive a preferred_nid and a null nodemask. This is a problem when using a memory policy, because it might be that the page allocator ends up using a node as a fallback which is not represented in the policy. Avoid that by passing the nodemask directly to the page allocator, so it can filter out fallback nodes that are not part of the nodemask.

However when the given memcg has passed the flushing threshold, all of its ancestors should have passed the threshold as well. There is no need to traverse up the memcg tree to maintain the stats updates. Perf profile collected from our fleet shows that memcg_rstat_updated is one of the most expensive memcg function i.e. a lot of cumulative CPU is being spent on it. So, even small micro optimizations matter a lot. This patch is microbenchmarked with multiple instances of netperf on a single machine with locally running netserver and we see couple of percentage of improvement.

mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED]
MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] handling for [process_]madvise() flushes tlb for each vma of each address range. Update the logic to do tlb flushes in a batched way. Initialize an mmu_gather object from do_madvise() and vector_madvise(), which are the entry level functions for [process_]madvise(), respectively. And pass those objects to the function for per-vma work, via madvise_behavior struct. Make the per-vma logic not flushes tlb on their own but just saves the tlb entries to the received mmu_gather object. For this internal logic change, make zap_page_range_single_batched() non-static and use it directly from madvise_dontneed_single_vma(). Finally, the entry level functions flush the tlb entries that gathered for the entire user request, at once.

mm/memory: split non-tlb flushing part from zap_page_range_single()
Some of zap_page_range_single() callers such as [process_]madvise() with
MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] cannot batch tlb flushes because
zap_page_range_single() flushes tlb for each invocation. Split out the
body of zap_page_range_single() except mmu_gather object initialization
and gathered tlb entries flushing for such batched tlb flushing usage.
To avoid hugetlb pages allocation failures from concurrent page faults,
the tlb flush should be done before hugetlb faults unlocking, though. Do
the flush and the unlock inside the split out function in the order for
hugetlb vma case. Refer to commit

mm/madvise: define and use madvise_behavior struct for madvise_do_behavior()
Patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE", v3. When process_madvise() is called to do MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] or MADV_FREE with multiple address ranges, tlb flushes happen for each of the given address ranges. Because such tlb flushes are for the same process, doing those in a batch is more efficient while still being safe. Modify process_madvise() entry level code path to do such batched tlb flushes, while the internal unmap logic do only gathering of the tlb entries to flush. In more detail, modify the entry functions to initialize an mmu_gather object and pass it to the internal logic. And make the internal logic do only gathering of the tlb entries to flush into the received mmu_gather object. After all internal function calls are done, the entry functions flush the gathered tlb entries at once. Because process_madvise() and madvise() share the internal unmap logic, make same change to madvise() entry code together, to make code consistent and cleaner. It is only for keeping the code clean, and shouldn't degrade madvise(). It could rather provide a potential tlb flushes reduction benefit for a case that there are multiple vmas for the given address range. It is only a side effect from an effort to keep code clean, so we don't measure it separately. Similar optimizations might be applicable to other madvise behavior such as MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT. Those are simply out of the scope of this patch series, though. Patches Sequence ================ The first patch defines a new data structure for managing information that is required for batched tlb flushes (mmu_gather and behavior), and update code paths for MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] and MADV_FREE handling internal logic to receive it. The second patch batches tlb flushes for MADV_FREE handling for both madvise() and process_madvise(). Remaining two patches are for MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] tlb flushes batching. The third patch splits zap_page_range_single() for batching of MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] handling. The fourth patch batches tlb flushes for the hint using the sub-logic that the third patch split out, and the helpers for batched tlb flushes that introduced for the MADV_FREE case, by the second patch. Test Results ============ I measured the latency to apply MADV_DONTNEED advice to 256 MiB memory using multiple process_madvise() calls. I apply the advice in 4 KiB sized regions granularity, but with varying batch size per process_madvise() call (vlen) from 1 to 1024. The source code for the measurement is available at GitHub[1]. To reduce measurement errors, I did the measurement five times. The measurement results are as below. 'sz_batch' column shows the batch size of process_madvise() calls. 'Before' and 'After' columns show the average of latencies in nanoseconds that measured five times on kernels that built without and with the tlb flushes batching of this series (patches 3 and 4), respectively. For the baseline, mm-new tree of 2025-04-09[2] has been used, after reverting the second version of this patch series and adding a temporal fix for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM build failure[3]. 'B-stdev' and 'A-stdev' columns show ratios of latency measurements standard deviation to average in percent for 'Before' and 'After', respectively. 'Latency_reduction' shows the reduction of the latency that the 'After' has achieved compared to 'Before', in percent. Higher 'Latency_reduction' values mean more efficiency improvements. sz_batch Before B-stdev After A-stdev Latency_reduction 1 146386348 2.78 111327360.6 3.13 23.95 2 108222130 1.54 72131173.6 2.39 33.35 4 93617846.8 2.76 51859294.4 2.50 44.61 8 80555150.4 2.38 44328790 1.58 44.97 16 77272777 1.62 37489433.2 1.16 51.48 32 76478465.2 2.75 33570506 3.48 56.10 64 75810266.6 1.15 27037652.6 1.61 64.34 128 73222748 3.86 25517629.4 3.30 65.15 256 72534970.8 2.31 25002180.4 0.94 65.53 512 71809392 5.12 24152285.4 2.41 66.37 1024 73281170.2 4.53 24183615 2.09 67.00 Unexpectedly the latency has reduced (improved) even with batch size one. I think some of compiler optimizations have affected that, like also observed with the first version of this patch series. So, please focus on the proportion between the improvement and the batch size. As expected, tlb flushes batching provides latency reduction that proportional to the batch size. The efficiency gain ranges from about 33 percent with batch size 2, and up to 67 percent with batch size 1,024. Please note that this is a very simple microbenchmark, so real efficiency gain on real workload could be very different. This patch (of 4): To implement batched tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] and MADV_FREE, an mmu_gather object in addition to the behavior integer need to be passed to the internal logics. Using a struct can make it easy without increasing the number of parameters of all code paths towards the internal logic. Define a struct for the purpose and use it on the code path that starts from madvise_do_behavior() and ends on madvise_dontneed_free(). Note that this changes madvise_walk_vmas() visitor type signature, too. Specifically, it changes its 'arg' type from 'unsigned long' to the new struct pointer.

mm: huge_memory: add folio_mark_accessed() when zapping file THP
When investigating performance issues during file folio unmap, I noticed some behavioral differences in handling non-PMD-sized folios and PMD-sized folios. For non-PMD-sized file folios, it will call folio_mark_accessed() to mark the folio as having seen activity, but this is not done for PMD-sized folios. This might not cause obvious issues, but a potential problem could be that, it might lead to reclaim of hot file folios under memory pressure, as quoted from Johannes: : Sometimes file contents are only accessed through relatively short-lived : mappings. But they can nevertheless be accessed a lot and be hot. It's : important to not lose that information on unmap, and end up kicking out a : frequently used cache page. Therefore, we should also add folio_mark_accessed() for PMD-sized file folios when unmapping.

mm/vma: fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges
Patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges", v2. It appears that we have been incorrectly rejecting merge cases for 15 years, apparently by mistake. Imagine a range of anonymous mapped momemory divided into two VMAs like this, with incompatible protection bits: RW RWX unfaulted faulted |-----------|-----------| | prev | vma | |-----------|-----------| mprotect(RW) Now imagine mprotect()'ing vma so it is RW. This appears as if it should merge, it does not. Neither does this case, again mprotect()'ing vma RW: RWX RW faulted unfaulted |-----------|-----------| | vma | next | |-----------|-----------| mprotect(RW) Nor: RW RWX RW unfaulted faulted unfaulted |-----------|-----------|-----------| | prev | vma | next | |-----------|-----------|-----------| mprotect(RW) What's going on here?

mm/ptdump: split note_page() into level specific callbacks
Patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64", v2. Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the case going ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform. Besides pxd_val() is very platform specific and its type should not be assumed in generic MM. A similar problem exists for effective_prot(), although it is restricted to x86 platform. This series splits note_page() and effective_prot() into individual page table level specific callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t page table entry as an argument instead and later on all subscribing platforms could derive pxd_val() from the table entries as required and proceed as before. Define ptdesc_t type which describes the basic page table descriptor layout on arm64 platform. Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and protection values etc which are used at all page table levels. This patch (of 3): Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the case going ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform.

mm: page_alloc: tighten up find_suitable_fallback()
find_suitable_fallback() is not as efficient as it could be, and somewhat difficult to follow. 1. should_try_claim_block() is a loop invariant. There is no point in checking fallback areas if the caller is interested in claimable blocks but the order and the migratetype don't allow for that. 2. __rmqueue_steal() doesn't care about claimability, so it shouldn't have to run those tests. Different callers want different things from this helper: 1. __compact_finished() scans orders up until it finds a claimable block 2. __rmqueue_claim() scans orders down as long as blocks are claimable 3. __rmqueue_steal() doesn't care about claimability at all Move should_try_claim_block() out of the loop. Only test it for the two callers who care in the first place. Distinguish "no blocks" from "order + mt are not claimable" in the return value; __rmqueue_claim() can stop once order becomes unclaimable, __compact_finished() can keep advancing until order becomes claimable.

The SWAP_MAP_SHMEM indicates last map from shmem. Therefore we can drop SWAP_MAP_SHMEM in batch in similar way to drop last ref count in batch.

mm: swap: use swap_entries_free() to free swap entry in swap_entry_put_locked()
In swap_entry_put_locked(), we will set slot to SWAP_HAS_CACHE before using swap_entries_free() to do actual swap entry freeing. This introduce an unnecessary intermediate state. By using swap_entries_free() in swap_entry_put_locked(), we can eliminate the need to set slot to SWAP_HAS_CACHE. This change would make the behavior of swap_entry_put_locked() more consistent with other put() operations which will do actual free work after put last reference.

mm: swap: enable swap_entry_range_free() to drop any kind of last ref
The original VM_BUG_ON only allows swap_entry_range_free() to drop last SWAP_HAS_CACHE ref. By allowing other kind of last ref in VM_BUG_ON, swap_entry_range_free() could be a more general-purpose function able to handle all kind of last ref.

mm: swap: rename __swap_[entry/entries]_free[_locked] to swap_[entry/entries]_put[_locked]
Patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code", v4. This series contains some cleanups and improvements which are made during learning swapfile. Here is a summary of the changes: 1. Function naming improvments. - Use "put" instead of "free" to name functions which only do actual free when count drops to zero. - Use "entry" to name function only frees one swap slot. Use "entries" to name function could may free multi swap slots within one cluster. Use "_nr" suffix to name function which could free multi swap slots spanning cross multi clusters. 2. Eliminate the need to set swap slot to intermediate SWAP_HAS_CACHE value before do actual free by using swap_entry_range_free() 3. Add helpers swap_entries_put_map() and swap_entries_put_cache() as a general-purpose routine to free swap entries within a single cluster which will try batch-remove first and fallback to put eatch entry indvidually with cluster lock acquired/released only once. By using these helpers, we could remove repeated code, levarage batch-remove in more cases and aoivd to acquire/release cluster lock for each single swap entry. This patch (of 8): In __swap_entry_free[_locked] and __swap_entries_free, we decrease count first and only free swap entry if count drops to zero. This behavior is more akin to a put() operation rather than a free() operation. Therefore, rename these functions with "put" instead of "free". Additionally, add "_nr" suffix to swap_entries_put to indicate the input range may span swap clusters.

memcg: combine slab obj stock charging and accounting
When handing slab objects, we use obj_cgroup_[un]charge() for (un)charging and mod_objcg_state() to account NR_SLAB_[UN]RECLAIMABLE_B. All these operations use the percpu stock for performance. However with the calls being separate, the stock_lock is taken twice in each case. By refactoring the code, we can turn mod_objcg_state() into __account_obj_stock() which is called on a stock that's already locked and validated. On the charging side we can call this function from consume_obj_stock() when it succeeds, and refill_obj_stock() in the fallback. We just expand parameters of these functions as necessary. The uncharge side from __memcg_slab_free_hook() is just the call to refill_obj_stock(). Other callers of obj_cgroup_[un]charge() (i.e. not slab) simply pass the extra parameters as NULL/zeroes to skip the __account_obj_stock() operation. In __memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() we now charge each object separately, but that's not a problem as we did call mod_objcg_state() for each object separately, and most allocations are non-bulk anyway. This could be improved by batching all operations until slab_pgdat(slab) changes. Some preliminary benchmarking with a kfree(kmalloc()) loop of 10M iterations with/without __GFP_ACCOUNT: Before the patch: kmalloc/kfree !memcg: 581390144 cycles kmalloc/kfree memcg: 783689984 cycles After the patch: kmalloc/kfree memcg: 658723808 cycles More than half of the overhead of __GFP_ACCOUNT relative to non-accounted case seems eliminated.

memcg: no refilling stock from obj_cgroup_release
obj_cgroup_release is called when all the references to the objcg have been released i.e. no more memory objects are pointing to it. Most probably objcg->memcg will be pointing to some ancestor memcg. In obj_cgroup_release(), the kernel calls obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() which refills the local stock. There is no need to refill the local stock with some ancestor memcg and flush the local stock. Let's decouple obj_cgroup_release() from the local stock by uncharging instead of refilling. One additional benefit of this change is that it removes the requirement to only call obj_cgroup_put() outside of local_lock.

memcg: decouple drain_obj_stock from local stock
Currently drain_obj_stock() can potentially call __refill_stock which accesses local cpu stock and thus requires memcg stock's local_lock. However if we look at the code paths leading to drain_obj_stock(), there is never a good reason to refill the memcg stock at all from it. At the moment, drain_obj_stock can be called from reclaim, hotplug cpu teardown, mod_objcg_state() and refill_obj_stock(). For reclaim and hotplug there is no need to refill. For the other two paths, most probably the newly switched objcg would be used in near future and thus no need to refill stock with the older objcg. In addition, __refill_stock() from drain_obj_stock() happens on rare cases, so performance is not really an issue. Let's just uncharge directly instead of refill which will also decouple drain_obj_stock from local cpu stock and local_lock requirements.

mm/compaction: remove low watermark cap for proactive compaction
Patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction", v4. Our goal is to keep memory usage of a VM low on the host. For that reason, we use free page reporting which by default reports free pages of order 9 and larger to the host to be freed. The feature works well only if the memory in the guest is not fragmented below pages of order 9. Proactive compaction can be reused to achieve defragmentation after some parameter tweaking. When the fragmentation score (lower is better) gets larger than the high watermark, proactive compaction kicks in. Compaction stops when the score goes below the low watermark (or no progress is made and backoff kicks in). Let's define the difference between high and low watermarks as leeway. Before these changes, the minimum possible value for low watermark was 5 and the leeway was hardcoded to 10 (so minimum possible value for high watermark was 15). To test this, I created a VM with 19GB of memory and free page reporting enabled. The VM was ~idle. I meassured the memory usage from inside the guest (/proc/meminfo) and from the host (provided by the hypervisor). Before: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xw23lRry_PgEH3f6QRnSGvoHh2u9UHyI/view?usp=sharing After: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wMhpIzepx6t44F70yCPA50n1S5V2AT-a/view?usp=sharing This patch (of 2): Previously a min cap of 5 has been set in the commit introducing proactive compaction. This was to make sure users don't hurt themselves by setting the proactiveness to 100 and making their system unresponsive. But the compaction mechanism has a backoff mechanism that will sleep for 30s if no progress is made, so I don't see a significant risk here. My system (19GB of memory) has been perfectly fine with both watermarks hardcoded to 0.

zsmalloc: prefer the the original page's node for compressed data
Currently, zsmalloc, zswap's and zram's backend memory allocator, does not enforce any policy for the allocation of memory for the compressed data, instead just adopting the memory policy of the task entering reclaim, or the default policy (prefer local node) if no such policy is specified. This can lead to several pathological behaviors in multi-node NUMA systems: 1. Systems with CXL-based memory tiering can encounter the following inversion with zswap/zram: the coldest pages demoted to the CXL tier can return to the high tier when they are reclaimed to compressed swap, creating memory pressure on the high tier. 2. Consider a direct reclaimer scanning nodes in order of allocation preference. If it ventures into remote nodes, the memory it compresses there should stay there. Trying to shift those contents over to the reclaiming thread's preferred node further *increases* its local pressure, and provoking more spills. The remote node is also the most likely to refault this data again. This undesirable behavior was pointed out by Johannes Weiner in [1]. 3. For zswap writeback, the zswap entries are organized in node-specific LRUs, based on the node placement of the original pages, allowing for targeted zswap writeback for specific nodes. However, the compressed data of a zswap entry can be placed on a different node from the LRU it is placed on. This means that reclaim targeted at one node might not free up memory used for zswap entries in that node, but instead reclaiming memory in a different node. All of these issues will be resolved if the compressed data go to the same node as the original page. This patch encourages this behavior by having zswap and zram pass the node of the original page to zsmalloc, and have zsmalloc prefer the specified node if we need to allocate new (zs)pages for the compressed data. Note that we are not strictly binding the allocation to the preferred node. We still allow the allocation to fall back to other nodes when the preferred node is full, or if we have zspages with slots available on a different node. This is OK, and still a strict improvement over the status quo: 1. On a system with demotion enabled, we will generally prefer demotions over compressed swapping, and only swap when pages have already gone to the lowest tier. This patch should achieve the desired effect for the most part. 2. If the preferred node is out of memory, letting the compressed data going to other nodes can be better than the alternative (OOMs, keeping cold memory unreclaimed, disk swapping, etc.). 3. If the allocation go to a separate node because we have a zspage with slots available, at least we're not creating extra immediate memory pressure (since the space is already allocated). 3. While there can be mixings, we generally reclaim pages in same-node batches, which encourage zspage grouping that is more likely to go to the right node. 4. A strict binding would require partitioning zsmalloc by node, which is more complicated, and more prone to regression, since it reduces the storage density of zsmalloc. We need to evaluate the tradeoff and benchmark carefully before adopting such an involved solution.

Also removes both callers of mk_pmd() that aren't part of mk_huge_pmd(), getting us a step closer to removing the confusion between mk_pmd(), mk_huge_pmd() and pmd_mkhuge().

mm: remove mk_huge_pte()
The only remaining user of mk_huge_pte() is the debug code, so remove the API and replace its use with pfn_pte() which lets us remove the conversion to a page first. We should always call arch_make_huge_pte() to turn this PTE into a huge PTE before operating on it with huge_pte_mkdirty() etc. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250402181709.2386022-10-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com> Cc: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> Cc: Anton Ivanov <anton.ivanov@cambridgegreys.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: "David S.

hugetlb: simplify make_huge_pte()
mk_huge_pte() is a bad API. Despite its name, it creates a normal PTE which is later transformed into a huge PTE by arch_make_huge_pte(). So replace the page argument with a folio argument and call folio_mk_pte() instead. Then, because we now know this is a regular PTE rather than a huge one, use pte_mkdirty() instead of huge_pte_mkdirty() (and similar functions).

mm: set the pte dirty if the folio is already dirty
Patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()", v2.
Today if you have a folio and want to create a PTE that points to the
first page in it, you have to convert from a folio to a page. That's
zero-cost today but will be more expensive in the future.
I didn't want to add folio_mk_pte() to each architecture, and I didn't
want to lose any optimisations that architectures have from their own
implementation of mk_pte(). Fortunately, most architectures have by now
turned their mk_pte() into a fairly bland variant of pfn_pte(), but s390
has a special optimisation that needs to be moved into generic code in the
first patch.
At the end of this patch set, we have mk_pte() and folio_mk_pte() in mm.h
and each architecture only has to implement pfn_pte(). We've also
eliminated mk_huge_pte(), mk_huge_pmd() and mk_pmd().
This patch (of 11):
If the first access to a folio is a read that is then followed by a write,
we can save a page fault. s390 implemented this in their mk_pte() in
commit

mm: fix ratelimit_pages update error in dirty_ratio_handler()
In dirty_ratio_handler(), vm_dirty_bytes must be set to zero before
calling writeback_set_ratelimit(), as global_dirty_limits() always
prioritizes the value of vm_dirty_bytes.
It's domain_dirty_limits() that's relevant here, not node_dirty_ok:
dirty_ratio_handler
writeback_set_ratelimit
global_dirty_limits(&dirty_thresh) <- ratelimit_pages based on dirty_thresh
domain_dirty_limits
if (bytes) <- bytes = vm_dirty_bytes <--------+
thresh = f1(bytes) <- prioritizes vm_dirty_bytes |
else |
thresh = f2(ratio) |
ratelimit_pages = f3(dirty_thresh) |
vm_dirty_bytes = 0 <- it's late! ---------------------+
This causes ratelimit_pages to still use the value calculated based on
vm_dirty_bytes, which is wrong now.
The impact visible to userspace is difficult to capture directly because
there is no procfs/sysfs interface exported to user space. However, it
will have a real impact on the balance of dirty pages.
For example:
1. On default, we have vm_dirty_ratio=40, vm_dirty_bytes=0
2. echo 8192 > dirty_bytes, then vm_dirty_bytes=8192,
vm_dirty_ratio=0, and ratelimit_pages is calculated based on
vm_dirty_bytes now.
3. echo 20 > dirty_ratio, then since vm_dirty_bytes is not reset to
zero when writeback_set_ratelimit() -> global_dirty_limits() ->
domain_dirty_limits() is called, reallimit_pages is still calculated
based on vm_dirty_bytes instead of vm_dirty_ratio. This does not
conform to the actual intent of the user.

mm: userfaultfd: correct dirty flags set for both present and swap pte
As David pointed out, what truly matters for mremap and userfaultfd move
operations is the soft dirty bit. The current comment and
implementation—which always sets the dirty bit for present PTEs and
fails to set the soft dirty bit for swap PTEs—are incorrect. This could
break features like Checkpoint-Restore in Userspace (CRIU).
This patch updates the behavior to correctly set the soft dirty bit for
both present and swap PTEs in accordance with mremap.

zsmalloc: don't underflow size calculation in zs_obj_write()
Do not mix class->size and object size during offsets/sizes calculation in
zs_obj_write(). Size classes can merge into clusters, based on
objects-per-zspage and pages-per-zspage characteristics, so some size
classes can store objects smaller than class->size. This becomes
problematic when object size is much smaller than class->size. zsmalloc
can falsely decide that object spans two physical pages, because a larger
class->size value is used for that check, while the actual object is much
smaller and fits the free space of the first physical page, so there is
nothing to write to the second page and memcpy() size calculation
underflows.
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffc00081ff4000

This is mostly seen on system with larger page-sizes, because size class
cluters of such systems hold wider size ranges than on 4K PAGE_SIZE
systems.
Assume a 16K PAGE_SIZE system, a write of 820 bytes object to a 864-bytes
size class at offset 15560. 15560 + 864 is more than 16384 so zsmalloc
attempts to memcpy() it to two physical pages. However, 16384 - 15560 =
824 which is more than 820, so the object in fact doesn't span two
physical pages, and there is no data to write to the second physical page.
We always know the exact size in bytes of the object that we are about to
write (store), so use it instead of class->size.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition in unaccepted memory handling
The page allocator tracks the number of zones that have unaccepted memory
using static_branch_enc/dec() and uses that static branch in hot paths to
determine if it needs to deal with unaccepted memory.
Borislav and Thomas pointed out that the tracking is racy: operations on
static_branch are not serialized against adding/removing unaccepted pages
to/from the zone.
Sanity checks inside static_branch machinery detects it:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at kernel/jump_label.c:276 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked+0x8e/0xa0
The comment around the WARN() explains the problem:
/*
* Warn about the '-1' case though; since that means a
* decrement is concurrent with a first (0->1) increment. IOW
* people are trying to disable something that wasn't yet fully
* enabled. This suggests an ordering problem on the user side.
*/
The effect of this static_branch optimization is only visible on
microbenchmark.
Instead of adding more complexity around it, remove it altogether.

mm/page_alloc: ensure try_alloc_pages() plays well with unaccepted memory
try_alloc_pages() will not attempt to allocate memory if the system has
*any* unaccepted memory. Memory is accepted as needed and can remain in
the system indefinitely, causing the interface to always fail.
Rather than immediately giving up, attempt to use already accepted memory
on free lists.
Pass 'alloc_flags' to cond_accept_memory() and do not accept new memory
for ALLOC_TRYLOCK requests.
Found via code inspection - only BPF uses this at present and the
runtime effects are unclear.

The WARN_ON here is simply incorrect. The refcount here must be at least
the mapcount, not the opposite. Each mapcount must have a corresponding
refcount, but the refcount may increase if other components grab the
folio, which is acceptable. Meanwhile, having a mapcount larger than
refcount is a real problem.
So fix the WARN_ON condition.

mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool
During our testing with hugetlb subpool enabled, we observe that
hstate->resv_huge_pages may underflow into negative values. Root cause
analysis reveals a race condition in subpool reservation fallback handling
as follow:
hugetlb_reserve_pages()
/* Attempt subpool reservation */
gbl_reserve = hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, chg);
/* Global reservation may fail after subpool allocation */
if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0)
goto out_put_pages;
out_put_pages:
/* This incorrectly restores reservation to subpool */
hugepage_subpool_put_pages(spool, chg);
When hugetlb_acct_memory() fails after subpool allocation, the current
implementation over-commits subpool reservations by returning the full
'chg' value instead of the actual allocated 'gbl_reserve' amount. This
discrepancy propagates to global reservations during subsequent releases,
eventually causing resv_huge_pages underflow.
This problem can be trigger easily with the following steps:
1. reverse hugepage for hugeltb allocation
2. mount hugetlbfs with min_size to enable hugetlb subpool
3. alloc hugepages with two task(make sure the second will fail due to
insufficient amount of hugepages)
4. with for a few seconds and repeat step 3 which will make
hstate->resv_huge_pages to go below zero.
To fix this problem, return corrent amount of pages to subpool during the
fallback after hugepage_subpool_get_pages is called.

I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is _obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch mitigations. Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details: ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel. Affected processors: - Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake. Scope of impact: - Guest/host isolation: When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to direct branches in the guest. - Intra-mode using cBPF: cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS. Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack vector. - User/kernel: With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS. - Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB): Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This will be fixed in the microcode. Mitigation: As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that is aligned to the second half of the cacheline. RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned to second half of cacheline" * tag 'its-for-linus-20250509' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: selftest/x86/bugs: Add selftests for ITS x86/its: FineIBT-paranoid vs ITS x86/its: Use dynamic thunks for indirect branches x86/ibt: Keep IBT disabled during alternative patching mm/execmem: Unify early execmem_cache behaviour x86/its: Align RETs in BHB clear sequence to avoid thunking x86/its: Add support for RSB stuffing mitigation x86/its: Add "vmexit" option to skip mitigation on some CPUs x86/its: Enable Indirect Target Selection mitigation x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe return thunk x86/its: Add support for ITS-safe indirect thunk x86/its: Enumerate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) bug Documentation: x86/bugs/its: Add ITS documentation |

mm/execmem: Unify early execmem_cache behaviour
Early kernel memory is RWX, only at the end of early boot (before SMP) do we mark things ROX. Have execmem_cache mirror this behaviour for early users. This avoids having to remember what code is execmem and what is not -- we can poke everything with impunity ;-) Also performance for not having to do endless text_poke_mm switches.

mm/vmalloc: Enter lazy mmu mode while manipulating vmalloc ptes
Wrap vmalloc's pte table manipulation loops with arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() / arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). This provides the arch code with the opportunity to optimize the pte manipulations. Note that vmap_pfn() already uses lazy mmu mode since it delegates to apply_to_page_range() which enters lazy mmu mode for both user and kernel mappings. These hooks will shortly be used by arm64 to improve vmalloc performance.

mm/vmalloc: Warn on improper use of vunmap_range()
A call to vmalloc_huge() may cause memory blocks to be mapped at pmd or pud level. But it is possible to subsequently call vunmap_range() on a sub-range of the mapped memory, which partially overlaps a pmd or pud. In this case, vmalloc unmaps the entire pmd or pud so that the no-overlapping portion is also unmapped. Clearly that would have a bad outcome, but it's not something that any callers do today as far as I can tell. So I guess it's just expected that callers will not do this. However, it would be useful to know if this happened in future; let's add a warning to cover the eventuality.

mm/page_table_check: Batch-check pmds/puds just like ptes
Convert page_table_check_p[mu]d_set(...) to page_table_check_p[mu]ds_set(..., nr) to allow checking a contiguous set of pmds/puds in single batch. We retain page_table_check_p[mu]d_set(...) as macros that call new batch functions with nr=1 for compatibility. arm64 is about to reorganise its pte/pmd/pud helpers to reuse more code and to allow the implementation for huge_pte to more efficiently set ptes/pmds/puds in batches.

memblock: Accept allocated memory before use in memblock_double_array()
When increasing the array size in memblock_double_array() and the slab
is not yet available, a call to memblock_find_in_range() is used to
reserve/allocate memory. However, the range returned may not have been
accepted, which can result in a crash when booting an SNP guest:

Mitigate this by calling accept_memory() on the memory range returned
before the slab is available.
Prior to v6.12, the accept_memory() interface used a 'start' and 'end'
parameter instead of 'start' and 'size', therefore the accept_memory()
call must be adjusted to specify 'start + size' for 'end' when applying
to kernels prior to v6.12.

kbuild: Switch from -Wvla to -Wvla-larger-than=1
Variable Length Arrays (VLAs) on the stack must not be used in the kernel.
Function parameter VLAs[1] should be usable, but -Wvla will warn for
those. For example, this will produce a warning but it is not using a
stack VLA:
int something(size_t n, int array[n]) { ...
Clang has no way yet to distinguish between the VLA types[2], so
depend on GCC for now to keep stack VLAs out of the tree by using GCC's
-Wvla-larger-than=N option (though GCC may split -Wvla similarly[3] to
how Clang is planning to).
While GCC 8+ supports -Wvla-larger-than, only 9+ supports ...=0[4],
so use -Wvla-larger-than=1. Adjust mm/kasan/Makefile to remove it from
CFLAGS (GCC <9 appears unable to disable the warning correctly[5]).
The VLA usage in lib/test_ubsan.c was removed in commit

mm: fix folio_pte_batch() on XEN PV
On XEN PV, folio_pte_batch() can incorrectly batch beyond the end of a
folio due to a corner case in pte_advance_pfn(). Specifically, when the
PFN following the folio maps to an invalidated MFN,
expected_pte = pte_advance_pfn(expected_pte, nr);
produces a pte_none(). If the actual next PTE in memory is also
pte_none(), the pte_same() succeeds,
if (!pte_same(pte, expected_pte))
break;
the loop is not broken, and batching continues into unrelated memory.
For example, with a 4-page folio, the PTE layout might look like this:
[ 53.465673] [ T2552] folio_pte_batch: printing PTE values at addr=0x7f1ac9dc5000
[ 53.465674] [ T2552] PTE[453] = 000000010085c125
[ 53.465679] [ T2552] PTE[454] = 000000010085d125
[ 53.465682] [ T2552] PTE[455] = 000000010085e125
[ 53.465684] [ T2552] PTE[456] = 000000010085f125
[ 53.465686] [ T2552] PTE[457] = 0000000000000000 <-- not present
[ 53.465689] [ T2552] PTE[458] = 0000000101da7125
pte_advance_pfn(PTE[456]) returns a pte_none() due to invalid PFN->MFN
mapping. The next actual PTE (PTE[457]) is also pte_none(), so the loop
continues and includes PTE[457] in the batch, resulting in 5 batched
entries for a 4-page folio. This triggers the following warning:

Original code works as expected everywhere, except on XEN PV, where
pte_advance_pfn() can yield a pte_none() after balloon inflation due to
MFNs invalidation. In XEN, pte_advance_pfn() ends up calling
__pte()->xen_make_pte()->pte_pfn_to_mfn(), which returns pte_none() when
mfn == INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.
The pte_pfn_to_mfn() documents that nastiness:
If there's no mfn for the pfn, then just create an
empty non-present pte. Unfortunately this loses
information about the original pfn, so
pte_mfn_to_pfn is asymmetric.
While such hacks should certainly be removed, we can do better in
folio_pte_batch() and simply check ahead of time how many PTEs we can
possibly batch in our folio.
This way, we can not only fix the issue but cleanup the code: removing the
pte_pfn() check inside the loop body and avoiding end_ptr comparison +
arithmetic.

mm, swap: fix false warning for large allocation with !THP_SWAP
The !CONFIG_THP_SWAP check existed before just fine because slot cache
would reject high order allocation and let the caller split all folios and
try again.
But slot cache is gone, so large allocation will directly go to the
allocator, and the allocator should just fail silently to inform caller to
do the folio split, this is totally fine and expected.
Remove this meaningless warning.

mm/huge_memory: fix dereferencing invalid pmd migration entry
When migrating a THP, concurrent access to the PMD migration entry during
a deferred split scan can lead to an invalid address access, as
illustrated below. To prevent this invalid access, it is necessary to
check the PMD migration entry and return early. In this context, there is
no need to use pmd_to_swp_entry and pfn_swap_entry_to_page to verify the
equality of the target folio. Since the PMD migration entry is locked, it
cannot be served as the target.
Mailing list discussion and explanation from Hugh Dickins: "An anon_vma
lookup points to a location which may contain the folio of interest, but
might instead contain another folio: and weeding out those other folios is
precisely what the "folio != pmd_folio((*pmd)" check (and the "risk of
replacing the wrong folio" comment a few lines above it) is for."

mm, slab: clean up slab->obj_exts always
When memory allocation profiling is disabled at runtime or due to an
error, shutdown_mem_profiling() is called: slab->obj_exts which
previously allocated remains.
It won't be cleared by unaccount_slab() because of
mem_alloc_profiling_enabled() not true. It's incorrect, slab->obj_exts
should always be cleaned up in unaccount_slab() to avoid following error:
[...]BUG: Bad page state in process...

mm/migrate: fix sleep in atomic for large folios and buffer heads
The large folio + buffer head noref migration scenarios are being naughty and blocking while holding a spinlock. As a consequence of the pagecache lookup path taking the folio lock this serializes against migration paths, so they can wait for each other. For the private_lock atomic case, a new BH_Migrate flag is introduced which enables the lookup to bail. This allows the critical region of the private_lock on the migration path to be reduced to the way it was before |

fs: add S_ANON_INODE
This makes it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead(). Readahead on anonymous inodes didn't work because they didn't have a proper mode. Now that they have we need to retain EINVAL being returned otherwise LTP will fail. We also need to ensure that ioctls aren't simply fired like they are for regular files so things like inotify inodes continue to correctly call their own ioctl handlers as in [1].

mm: vmscan: fix kswapd exit condition in defrag_mode
Vlastimil points out an issue with kswapd in defrag_mode not waking up
kcompactd reliably.
Background: When kswapd is woken for any higher-order request, it
initially checks those high-order watermarks to decide if work is
necesary. However, it cannot (efficiently) meet the contiguity goal of
such a request by itself. So once it has reclaimed a compaction gap, it
adjusts the request down to check for free order-0 pages, then wakes
kcompactd to coalesce them into larger blocks.
In defrag_mode, the initial watermark check needs to be analogously
against free pageblocks. However, once kswapd drops the high-order to
hand off contiguity work, it also needs to fall back to base page
watermarks - otherwise it'll keep reclaiming until blocks are freed.
While it appears kcompactd is woken up frequently enough to do most of the
compaction work, kswapd ends up overreclaiming by quite a bit:

mm/memory: move sanity checks in do_wp_page() after mapcount vs. refcount stabilization
In __folio_remove_rmap() for RMAP_LEVEL_PMD/RMAP_LEVEL_PUD and with
CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT we first decrement the folio mapcount (and recompute
mapped shared vs. mapped exclusively) to then adjust the entire mapcount.
This means that another process might stumble in do_wp_page() over a
PTE-mapped PMD folio that is indicated as "exclusively mapped", but still
has an entire mapcount (PMD mapping), because it is racing with the
process that is unmapping the folio (PMD mapping). Note that do_wp_page()
will back off once it detects the remaining folio reference from the
process that is in the process of unmapping the folio.
This will trigger the early VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_entire_mapcount(folio))
check in do_wp_page(), that can easily be reproduced by looping a couple
of times over allocating a PMD THP, forking a child where we immediately
unmap it again, and writing in the parent concurrently to the THP.

While we could adjust the sequence in __folio_remove_rmap(), let's rater
move the mapcount sanity checks after the mapcount vs. refcount
stabilization phase. With this fix, a simple reproducer is happy.
While at it, convert the two VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() we are moving to
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_FOLIO().

mm/gup: fix wrongly calculated returned value in fault_in_safe_writeable()
Not like fault_in_readable() or fault_in_writeable(), in
fault_in_safe_writeable() local variable 'start' is increased page by page
to loop till the whole address range is handled. However, it mistakenly
calculates the size of the handled range with 'uaddr - start'.
Fix it here.
Andreas said:
: In gfs2, fault_in_iov_iter_writeable() is used in
: gfs2_file_direct_read() and gfs2_file_read_iter(), so this potentially
: affects buffered as well as direct reads. This bug could cause those
: gfs2 functions to spin in a loop.

mm/page_alloc: fix deadlock on cpu_hotplug_lock in __accept_page()
When the last page in the zone is accepted, __accept_page() calls
static_branch_dec(). This function takes cpu_hotplug_lock, which can lead
to a deadlock if the allocation occurs during CPU bringup path as
_cpu_up() also takes the lock.
To prevent this deadlock, defer static_branch_dec() to a workqueue.
Call static_branch_dec() only when the workqueue is not yet initialized.
Workqueues are initialized before CPU bring up, so this will not conflict
with the first scenario.

kasan: Add strscpy() test to trigger tag fault on arm64
When we invoke strscpy() with a maximum size of N bytes, it assumes that: - It can always read N bytes from the source. - It always write N bytes (zero-padded) to the destination. On aarch64 with Memory Tagging Extension enabled if we pass an N that is bigger then the source buffer, it would previously trigger an MTE fault. Implement a KASAN KUnit test that triggers the issue with the previous implementation of read_word_at_a_time() on aarch64 with MTE enabled.

mm: skip folio reclaim in legacy memcg contexts for deadlockable mappings
Currently in shrink_folio_list(), reclaim for folios under writeback falls into 3 different cases: 1) Reclaim is encountering an excessive number of folios under writeback and this folio has both the writeback and reclaim flags set 2) Dirty throttling is enabled (this happens if reclaim through cgroup is not enabled, if reclaim through cgroupv2 memcg is enabled, or if reclaim is on the root cgroup), or if the folio is not marked for immediate reclaim, or if the caller does not have __GFP_FS (or __GFP_IO if it's going to swap) set 3) Legacy cgroupv1 encounters a folio that already has the reclaim flag set and the caller did not have __GFP_FS (or __GFP_IO if swap) set In cases 1) and 2), we activate the folio and skip reclaiming it while in case 3), we wait for writeback to finish on the folio and then try to reclaim the folio again. In case 3, we wait on writeback because cgroupv1 does not have dirty folio throttling, as such this is a mitigation against the case where there are too many folios in writeback with nothing else to reclaim. If a filesystem (eg fuse) may deadlock due to reclaim waiting on writeback, then the filesystem needs to add inefficient messy workarounds to prevent this. To improve the performance of these filesystems, this commit adds two things: a) a AS_WRITEBACK_MAY_DEADLOCK_ON_RECLAIM mapping flag that filesystems may set to indicate that reclaim should not wait on writeback b) if legacy memcg encounters a folio with this AS_WRITEBACK_MAY_DEADLOCK_ON_RECLAIM flag set (eg case 3), the folio will be activated and skip reclaim (eg default to behavior in case 2) instead.

slab: ensure slab->obj_exts is clear in a newly allocated slab page
ktest recently reported crashes while running several buffered io tests
with __alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook() at the top of the crash call stack.
The signature indicates an invalid address dereference with low bits of
slab->obj_exts being set. The bits were outside of the range used by
page_memcg_data_flags and objext_flags and hence were not masked out
by slab_obj_exts() when obtaining the pointer stored in slab->obj_exts.

Investigation indicates that these bits are already set when we allocate
slab page and are not zeroed out after allocation. We are not yet sure
why these crashes start happening only recently but regardless of the
reason, not initializing a field that gets used later is wrong. Fix it
by initializing slab->obj_exts during slab page allocation.

mm: fix apply_to_existing_page_range()
In the case of apply_to_existing_page_range(), apply_to_pte_range() is
reached with 'create' set to false. When !create, the loop over the PTE
page table is broken.
apply_to_pte_range() will only move to the next PTE entry if 'create' is
true or if the current entry is not pte_none().
This means that the user of apply_to_existing_page_range() will not have
'fn' called for any entries after the first pte_none() in the PTE page
table.
Fix the loop logic in apply_to_pte_range().
There are no known runtime issues from this, but the fix is trivial enough
for stable@ even without a known buggy user.

mm: (un)track_pfn_copy() fix + doc improvements
We got a late smatch warning and some additional review feedback.
smatch warnings:
mm/memory.c:1428 copy_page_range() error: uninitialized symbol 'pfn'.
We actually use the pfn only when it is properly initialized; however, we
may pass an uninitialized value to a function -- although it will not use
it that likely still is UB in C.
So let's just fix it by always initializing pfn in the caller of
track_pfn_copy(), and improving the documentation of track_pfn_copy().
While at it, clarify the doc of untrack_pfn_copy(), that internal checks
make sure if we actually have to untrack anything.

mm: fix filemap_get_folios_contig returning batches of identical folios
filemap_get_folios_contig() is supposed to return distinct folios found
within [start, end]. Large folios in the Xarray become multi-index
entries. xas_next() can iterate through the sub-indexes before finding a
sibling entry and breaking out of the loop.
This can result in a returned folio_batch containing an indeterminate
number of duplicate folios, which forces the callers to skeptically handle
the returned batch. This is inefficient and incurs a large maintenance
overhead.
We can fix this by calling xas_advance() after we have successfully adding
a folio to the batch to ensure our Xarray is positioned such that it will
correctly find the next folio - similar to filemap_get_read_batch().

mm/hugetlb: fix set_max_huge_pages() when there are surplus pages
In set_max_huge_pages(), min_count is computed taking into account surplus
huge pages, which might lead in some cases to not be able to free huge
pages and end up accounting them as surplus instead.
One way to solve it is to subtract surplus_huge_pages directly, but we
cannot do it blindly because there might be surplus pages that are also
free pages, which might happen when we fail to restore the vmemmap for
optimized hvo pages. So we could be subtracting the same page twice.
In order to work this around, let us first compute the number of free
persistent pages, and use that along with surplus pages to compute
min_count.
Steps to reproduce:
1) create 5 hugetlb folios in Node0
2) run a program to use all the hugetlb folios
3) echo 0 > nr_hugepages for Node0 to free the hugetlb folios. Thus
the 5 hugetlb folios in Node0 are accounted as surplus.
4) create 5 hugetlb folios in Node1
5) echo 0 > nr_hugepages for Node1 to free the hugetlb folios
The result:
Node0 Node1
Total 5 5
Free 0 5
Surp 5 5
The result with this patch:
Node0 Node1
Total 5 0
Free 0 0
Surp 5 0

mm/vma: add give_up_on_oom option on modify/merge, use in uffd release
Currently, if a VMA merge fails due to an OOM condition arising on commit
merge or a failure to duplicate anon_vma's, we report this so the caller
can handle it.
However there are cases where the caller is only ostensibly trying a
merge, and doesn't mind if it fails due to this condition.
Since we do not want to introduce an implicit assumption that we only
actually modify VMAs after OOM conditions might arise, add a 'give up on
oom' option and make an explicit contract that, should this flag be set, we
absolutely will not modify any VMAs should OOM arise and just bail out.
Since it'd be very unusual for a user to try to vma_modify() with this flag
set but be specifying a range within a VMA which ends up being split (which
can fail due to rlimit issues, not only OOM), we add a debug warning for
this condition.
The motivating reason for this is uffd release - syzkaller (and Pedro
Falcato's VERY astute analysis) found a way in which an injected fault on
allocation, triggering an OOM condition on commit merge, would result in
uffd code becoming confused and treating an error value as if it were a VMA
pointer.
To avoid this, we make use of this new VMG flag to ensure that this never
occurs, utilising the fact that, should we be clearing entire VMAs, we do
not wish an OOM event to be reported to us.
Many thanks to Pedro Falcato for his excellent analysis and Jann Horn for
his insightful and intelligent analysis of the situation, both of whom were
instrumental in this fix.

mm/compaction: fix bug in hugetlb handling pathway
The compaction code doesn't take references on pages until we're certain we should attempt to handle it. In the hugetlb case, isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page() may return -EBUSY without taking a reference to the folio associated with our pfn. If our folio's refcount drops to 0, compound_nr() becomes unpredictable, making low_pfn and nr_scanned unreliable. The user-visible effect is minimal - this should rarely happen (if ever). Fix this by storing the folio statistics earlier on the stack (just like the THP and Buddy cases). Also revert commit |

cgroup: change rstat function signatures from cgroup-based to css-based
This non-functional change serves as preparation for moving to subsystem-based rstat trees. To simplify future commits, change the signatures of existing cgroup-based rstat functions to become css-based and rename them to reflect that. Though the signatures have changed, the implementations have not. Within these functions use the css->cgroup pointer to obtain the associated cgroup and allow code to function the same just as it did before this patch. At applicable call sites, pass the subsystem-specific css pointer as an argument or pass a pointer to cgroup::self if not in subsystem context. Note that cgroup_rstat_updated_list() and cgroup_rstat_push_children() are not altered yet since there would be a larger amount of css to cgroup conversions which may overcomplicate the code at this intermediate phase.

mm/kasan: use SLAB_NO_MERGE flag instead of an empty constructor
Use SLAB_NO_MERGE flag to prevent merging instead of providing an empty constructor. Using an empty constructor in this manner is an abuse of slab interface. The SLAB_NO_MERGE flag should be used with caution, but in this case, it is acceptable as the cache is intended solely for debugging purposes. No functional changes intended.

mm: page_alloc: fix defrag_mode's retry & OOM path
Brendan points out that defrag_mode doesn't properly clear
ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT on its last-ditch attempt to allocate. But looking
closer, the problem is actually more severe: it doesn't actually *check*
whether it's already retried, and keeps looping. This means the OOM path
is never taken, and the thread can loop indefinitely.
This is verified with an intentional OOM test on defrag_mode=1, which
results in the machine hanging. After this patch, it triggers the OOM
kill reliably and recovers.
Clear ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT properly, and only retry once.

mm: zswap: fix crypto_free_acomp() deadlock in zswap_cpu_comp_dead()
Currently, zswap_cpu_comp_dead() calls crypto_free_acomp() while holding
the per-CPU acomp_ctx mutex. crypto_free_acomp() then holds scomp_lock
(through crypto_exit_scomp_ops_async()).
On the other hand, crypto_alloc_acomp_node() holds the scomp_lock (through
crypto_scomp_init_tfm()), and then allocates memory. If the allocation
results in reclaim, we may attempt to hold the per-CPU acomp_ctx mutex.
The above dependencies can cause an ABBA deadlock. For example in the
following scenario:
(1) Task A running on CPU #1:
crypto_alloc_acomp_node()
Holds scomp_lock
Enters reclaim
Reads per_cpu_ptr(pool->acomp_ctx, 1)
(2) Task A is descheduled
(3) CPU #1 goes offline
zswap_cpu_comp_dead(CPU #1)
Holds per_cpu_ptr(pool->acomp_ctx, 1))
Calls crypto_free_acomp()
Waits for scomp_lock
(4) Task A running on CPU #2:
Waits for per_cpu_ptr(pool->acomp_ctx, 1) // Read on CPU #1
DEADLOCK
Since there is no requirement to call crypto_free_acomp() with the per-CPU
acomp_ctx mutex held in zswap_cpu_comp_dead(), move it after the mutex is
unlocked. Also move the acomp_request_free() and kfree() calls for
consistency and to avoid any potential sublte locking dependencies in the
future.
With this, only setting acomp_ctx fields to NULL occurs with the mutex
held. This is similar to how zswap_cpu_comp_prepare() only initializes
acomp_ctx fields with the mutex held, after performing all allocations
before holding the mutex.
Opportunistically, move the NULL check on acomp_ctx so that it takes place
before the mutex dereference.

As has_unmovable_pages() call folio_hstate() without hugetlb_lock, there
is a race to free the HugeTLB page between PageHuge() and folio_hstate().
There is no need to add hugetlb_lock here as the HugeTLB page can be freed
in lot of places. So it's enough to unfold folio_hstate() and add a check
to avoid NULL pointer dereference for hugepage_migration_supported().

Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations.

ring-buffer updates for v6.15
- Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should not be part of that. A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save. - Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the persistent memory scratch pad. - A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module helper function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded modules. This has a callback to be called for each module. This is needed for when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the currently loaded modules need to be saved in the scratch area. - Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were loaded The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of where the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as well as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the current boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose the KASLR offset of the currently running kernel. - Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed) To have this in production environments, where the kernel command line can not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed when it is not going to be used. The memory for the buffer will always be allocated at boot up, but if the system isn't going to enable tracing, the memory needs to be freed. Allow it to be freed and added back to the kernel memory pool. - Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent buffer Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the same modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will examine the saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area and is also loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms to display the function name. If the address is not found, it simply displays the address from the previous boot in hex. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ+cUERQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qrAsAQCFt2nfzxoe3wtF5EqIT1VHp/8bQVjG gBe8B6ouboreogD/dS7yK8MRy24ZAmObGwYG0RbVicd50S7P8Rf7+823ng8= =OJKk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.15-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent memory as they are the ones that need this information.

This is a first step towards making kmalloc reentrant to get rid of slab wrappers: bpf_mem_alloc, kretprobe's objpool, etc. These patches make page allocator safe from any context. Vlastimil kicked off this effort at LSFMM 2024: https://lwn.net/Articles/974138/ and we continued at LSFMM 2025: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAADnVQKfkGxudNUkcPJgwe3nTZ=xohnRshx9kLZBTmR_E1DFEg@mail.gmail.com/ Why: SLAB wrappers bind memory to a particular subsystem making it unavailable to the rest of the kernel. Some BPF maps in production consume Gbytes of preallocated memory. Top 5 in Meta: 1.5G, 1.2G, 1.1G, 300M, 200M. Once we have kmalloc that works in any context BPF map preallocation won't be necessary. How: Synchronous kmalloc/page alloc stack has multiple stages going from fast to slow: cmpxchg16 -> slab_alloc -> new_slab -> alloc_pages -> rmqueue_pcplist -> __rmqueue, where rmqueue_pcplist was already relying on trylock. This set changes rmqueue_bulk/rmqueue_buddy to attempt a trylock and return ENOMEM if alloc_flags & ALLOC_TRYLOCK. It then wraps this functionality into try_alloc_pages() helper. We make sure that the logic is sane in PREEMPT_RT. End result: try_alloc_pages()/free_pages_nolock() are safe to call from any context. try_kmalloc() for any context with similar trylock approach will follow. It will use try_alloc_pages() when slab needs a new page. Though such try_kmalloc/page_alloc() is an opportunistic allocator, this design ensures that the probability of successful allocation of small objects (up to one page in size) is high. Even before we have try_kmalloc(), we already use try_alloc_pages() in BPF arena implementation and it's going to be used more extensively in BPF" * tag 'bpf_try_alloc_pages' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next: mm: Fix the flipped condition in gfpflags_allow_spinning() bpf: Use try_alloc_pages() to allocate pages for bpf needs. mm, bpf: Use memcg in try_alloc_pages(). memcg: Use trylock to access memcg stock_lock. mm, bpf: Introduce free_pages_nolock() mm, bpf: Introduce try_alloc_pages() for opportunistic page allocation locking/local_lock: Introduce localtry_lock_t |

f2fs-for-6.15-rc1
In this round, there are three major updates: 1) folio conversion, 2) refactor for mount API conversion, 3) some performance improvement such as direct IO, checkpoint speed, and IO priority hints. For stability, there are patches which add more sanity checks and fixes some major issues like i_size in atomic write operations and write pointer recovery in zoned devices. Enhancement: - huge folio converion work by Matthew Wilcox - clean up for mount API conversion by Eric Sandeen - improve direct IO speed in the overwrite case - add some sanity check on node consistency - set highest IO priority for checkpoint thread - keep POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE ranges and add sysfs entry to reclaim pages - add ioctl to get IO priority hint - add carve_out sysfs node for fsstat Bug fix: - disable nat_bits during umount to avoid potential nat entry corruption - fix missing i_size update on atomic writes - fix missing discard for active segments - fix running out of free segments - fix out-of-bounds access in f2fs_truncate_inode_blocks() - call f2fs_recover_quota_end() correctly - fix potential deadloop in prepare_compress_overwrite() - fix the missing write pointer correction for zoned device - fix to avoid panic once fallocation fails for pinfile - don't retry IO for corrupted data scenario There are many other clean up patches and minor bug fixes as usual. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEE00UqedjCtOrGVvQiQBSofoJIUNIFAmfhjuYACgkQQBSofoJI UNJF+hAAip0Sf6bXwt43KR3lmbXg/YBTtPDACOs375Pn8pfRVsAPIAf5e1AnlBET rA0KpqUrEZHXenQFF9n4LIoHYqfuUw3EMempuvp4qgQcx15Kaajw+EGWVLYstNy2 9dELc9DA55f/i1uvHezGfQFy6hMfXasf+tkaYk0z0ZYDStYboLgkVAY+F869q1Dl D16Y7Lna12h4eCxDdssIPDsLjFH/2LDn7SmhXsnpZxwK0Zx8JSo83WxXHnzXHxz4 vUkukInKgqcBDvf6ufW/YF3/tqSs20XEXNK3cI1vyHx1dwij6Us+G0n0WJHL30QE zsliecR0X28JP1rJ3ldCjr+4Kxm6/u/Uwpinm2Fm1jL67UY4TZcaARBE8k20I6ND j/L1+sXrIdZ1aILM9/bwCjgXiVFdZbvlfGfpTj1duAkQgRd+/s9cjPlo5j5HTad5 XJmzJz6YOaUNarhP/E31Z9SV9M2kEcmoDOTxKBg6ZcMWXZ27B6Z0ag92prd0GWk6 rWDuVj0eP/LDY1QedbHRPbg1D84jVgcnldfPaf9ptln993skJGdgS0dkegTqMR0L H8RgpWOzWZI53gnQdePdej8diHmD8uRTrLf/oABm//GzTHC5BdwVpArOl1DCuLFF YkMtVEicgnWRmL3PgODAdTJXaDi3uGvT116i+lfMlUn9p+t93r0= =E+TE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'f2fs-for-6.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, there are three major updates: (1) folio conversion, (2) refactoring for mount API conversion, (3) some performance improvement such as direct IO, checkpoint speed, and IO priority hints.

Summary
* Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c. * ctl_table range fixes Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing {under,over}flows. * Misc fixes Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages.

x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handling when fork() fails in copy_page_range()
If track_pfn_copy() fails, we already added the dst VMA to the maple tree. As fork() fails, we'll cleanup the maple tree, and stumble over the dst VMA for which we neither performed any reservation nor copied any page tables. Consequently untrack_pfn() will see VM_PAT and try obtaining the PAT information from the page table -- which fails because the page table was not copied. The easiest fix would be to simply clear the VM_PAT flag of the dst VMA if track_pfn_copy() fails. However, the whole thing is about "simply" clearing the VM_PAT flag is shaky as well: if we passed track_pfn_copy() and performed a reservation, but copying the page tables fails, we'll simply clear the VM_PAT flag, not properly undoing the reservation ... which is also wrong. So let's fix it properly: set the VM_PAT flag only if the reservation succeeded (leaving it clear initially), and undo the reservation if anything goes wrong while copying the page tables: clearing the VM_PAT flag after undoing the reservation. Note that any copied page table entries will get zapped when the VMA will get removed later, after copy_page_range() succeeded; as VM_PAT is not set then, we won't try cleaning VM_PAT up once more and untrack_pfn() will be happy. Note that leaving these page tables in place without a reservation is not a problem, as we are aborting fork(); this process will never run. A reproducer can trigger this usually at the first try: https://gitlab.com/davidhildenbrand/scratchspace/-/raw/main/reproducers/pat_fork.c WARNING: CPU: 26 PID: 11650 at arch/x86/mm/pat/memtype.c:983 get_pat_info+0xf6/0x110 Modules linked in: ...

A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup
hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to begin with. This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence with hrtimer_setup(T, cb); The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups. Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init() will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmff5jQTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoVvRD/wKtuwmiA66NJFgXC0qVq82A6fO3bY8 GBdbfysDJIbqGu5PTcULTbJ8qkqv3jeLUv6CcXvS4sZ7y/uJQl2lzf8yrD/0bbwc rLI6sHiPSZmK93kNVN4X5H7kvt7cE/DYC9nnEOgK3BY5FgKc4n9887d4aVBhL8Lv ODwVXvZ+xi351YCj7qRyPU24zt/p4tkkT1o2k4a0HBluqLI0D+V20fke9IERUL8r d1uWKlcn0TqYDesE8HXKIhbst3gx52rMJrXBJDHwFmG6v8Pj1fkTXCVpPo8QcBz8 OTVkpomN9f/Tx4+GZwhZOF86LhLL3OhxD6pT7JhFCXdmSGv+Ez8uyk1YZysM/XpV Juy/1yAcBpDIDkmhMFGdAAn48Nn9Fotty0r4je60zSEp1d/4QMXcFme29qr2JTUE iWnQ/HD6DxUjVHqy7CYvvo26Xegg1C7qgyOVt4PYZwAM1VKF5P3kzYTb4SAdxtop Tpji1sfW9QV08jqMNo6XntD32DSP9S2HqjO9LwBw700jnx2jjJ35fcJs6iodMOUn gckIZLMn3L0OoglPdyA5O7SNTbKE7aFiRKdnT/cJtR3Fa39Qu27CwC5gfiyuie9I Q+LG8GLuYSBHXAR+PBK4GWlzJ7Dn8k3eqmbnLeKpRMsU6ZzcttgA64xhaviN2wN0 iJbvLJeisXr3GA== =bYAX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-cleanups-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner: "A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to the callback pointer.

mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary __maybe_unused in order_to_pindex()
The `movable` variable is always used when `CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE` is enabled, so the `__maybe_unused` attribute is not necessary. This patch removes it and keeps the variable declaration within the `#ifdef` block for better clarity.

Reclaim process will put the hwpoisoned page back to lru. 2) The process that maps the hwpoisoned page exits, the page is deleted the page will never be freed and will be in the lru forever. 3) If we trigger a reclaim again and tries to reclaim the page, add_to_swap() will trigger VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO due to the uptodate flag is cleared. To fix it, skip the hwpoisoned page in shrink_folio_list(). Besides, the hwpoison folio may not be unmapped by hwpoison_user_mappings() yet, unmap it in shrink_folio_list(), otherwise the folio will fail to be unmaped by hwpoison_user_mappings() since the folio isn't in lru list.

mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics
Patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics". These two patches are related to proactive memory reclaim. Patch 1 Split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim counters and introduces new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive. Patch 2 Adds pswpin and pswpout items to the cgroup-v2 documentation. This patch (of 2): In proactive memory reclaim scenarios, it is necessary to accurately track proactive reclaim statistics to dynamically adjust the frequency and amount of memory being reclaimed proactively. Currently, proactive reclaim is included in direct reclaim statistics, which can make these direct reclaim statistics misleading. Therefore, separate proactive reclaim memory from the direct reclaim counters by introducing new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive, to avoid confusion with direct reclaim.

mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for active pages
Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages". The memory reclaim algorithm categorizes pages into active and inactive lists, separately for file and anon pages. The system's performance relies heavily on the (relative and absolute) accuracy of this categorization. This patch series add a new DAMOS filter for pages' activeness, giving us visibility into the access frequency of the pages on each list. This insight can help us diagnose issues with the active-inactive balancing dynamics, and make decisions to optimize reclaim efficiency and memory utilization. For instance, we might decide to enable DAMON_LRU_SORT, if we find that there are pages on the active list that are infrequently accessed, or less frequently accessed than pages on the inactive list. This patch (of 2): Implement a DAMOS filter type for active pages on DAMON kernel API, and add support of it from the physical address space DAMON operations set (paddr).

meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers
Patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers", v2. This series introduces a way to track memory used by balloon drivers. Add a NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track how many pages are reclaimed by the balloon drivers. First add the accounting, then updates the balloon drivers (virtio, Hyper-V, VMware, Pseries-cmm, and Xen) to maintain this counter. The virtio, Vmware, and pseries-cmm balloon drivers utilize the balloon_compaction interface to allocate and free balloon pages. Other balloon drivers will have to maintain this counter manually. This makes the information visible in memory reporting interfaces like /proc/meminfo, show_mem, and OOM reporting. This provides admins visibility into their VM balloon sizes without requiring different virtualization tooling. Furthermore, this information is helpful when debugging an OOM inside a VM. This patch (of 4): Add NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track memory used by balloon drivers and expose it through /proc/meminfo and other memory reporting interfaces.

mm: separate folio_split_memcg_refs() from split_page_memcg()
Patch series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs", v2. Separate the handling of accounted folios and GFP_ACCOUNT pages for easier to understand code. For more detail, see https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Z9LwTOudOlCGny3f@casper.infradead.org/ This patch (of 5): Folios always use memcg_data to refer to the mem_cgroup while pages allocated with GFP_ACCOUNT have a pointer to the obj_cgroup. Since the caller already knows what it has, split the function into two and then we don't need to check. Move the assignment of split folio memcg_data to the point where we set up the other parts of the new folio. That leaves folio_split_memcg_refs() just handling the memcg accounting.

memcg: avoid refill_stock for root memcg
We never charge the page counters of root memcg, so there is no need to put root memcg in the memcg stock. At the moment, refill_stock() can be called from try_charge_memcg(), obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() and mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem(). The try_charge_memcg() and mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem() are never called with root memcg, so those are fine. However obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() can potentially call refill_stock() with root memcg if the objcg object has been reparented over to the root memcg. Let's just avoid refill_stock() from obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() for root memcg.

mm/cma: using per-CMA locks to improve concurrent allocation performance
For different CMAs, concurrent allocation of CMA memory ideally should not require synchronization using locks. Currently, a global cma_mutex lock is employed to synchronize all CMA allocations, which can impact the performance of concurrent allocations across different CMAs. To test the performance impact, follow these steps: 1. Boot the kernel with the command line argument hugetlb_cma=30G to allocate a 30GB CMA area specifically for huge page allocations. (note: on my machine, which has 3 nodes, each node is initialized with 10G of CMA) 2. Use the dd command with parameters if=/dev/zero of=/dev/shm/file bs=1G count=30 to fully utilize the CMA area by writing zeroes to a file in /dev/shm. 3. Open three terminals and execute the following commands simultaneously: (Note: Each of these commands attempts to allocate 10GB [ |

mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode kswapd/kcompactd watermarks
The previous patch added pageblock_order reclaim to kswapd/kcompactd, which helps, but produces only one block at a time. Allocation stalls and THP failure rates are still higher than they could be. To adequately reflect ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT demand for pageblocks, change the watermarking for kswapd & kcompactd: instead of targeting the high watermark in order-0 pages and checking for one suitable block, simply require that the high watermark is entirely met in pageblocks. To this end, track the number of free pages within contiguous pageblocks, then change pgdat_balanced() and compact_finished() to check watermarks against this new value. This further reduces THP latencies and allocation stalls, and improves THP success rates against the previous patch: DEFRAGMODE-ASYNC DEFRAGMODE-ASYNC-WMARKS Hugealloc Time mean 34300.36 ( +0.00%) 28904.00 ( -15.73%) Hugealloc Time stddev 36390.42 ( +0.00%) 33464.37 ( -8.04%) Kbuild Real time 196.13 ( +0.00%) 196.59 ( +0.23%) Kbuild User time 1234.74 ( +0.00%) 1231.67 ( -0.25%) Kbuild System time 62.62 ( +0.00%) 59.10 ( -5.54%) THP fault alloc 57054.53 ( +0.00%) 63223.67 ( +10.81%) THP fault fallback 11581.40 ( +0.00%) 5412.47 ( -53.26%) Direct compact fail 107.80 ( +0.00%) 59.07 ( -44.79%) Direct compact success 4.53 ( +0.00%) 2.80 ( -31.33%) Direct compact success rate % 3.20 ( +0.00%) 3.99 ( +18.66%) Compact daemon scanned migrate 5461033.93 ( +0.00%) 2267500.33 ( -58.48%) Compact daemon scanned free 5824897.93 ( +0.00%) 2339773.00 ( -59.83%) Compact direct scanned migrate 58336.93 ( +0.00%) 47659.93 ( -18.30%) Compact direct scanned free 32791.87 ( +0.00%) 40729.67 ( +24.21%) Compact total migrate scanned 5519370.87 ( +0.00%) 2315160.27 ( -58.05%) Compact total free scanned 5857689.80 ( +0.00%) 2380502.67 ( -59.36%) Alloc stall 2424.60 ( +0.00%) 638.87 ( -73.62%) Pages kswapd scanned 2657018.33 ( +0.00%) 4002186.33 ( +50.63%) Pages kswapd reclaimed 559583.07 ( +0.00%) 718577.80 ( +28.41%) Pages direct scanned 722094.07 ( +0.00%) 355172.73 ( -50.81%) Pages direct reclaimed 107257.80 ( +0.00%) 31162.80 ( -70.95%) Pages total scanned 3379112.40 ( +0.00%) 4357359.07 ( +28.95%) Pages total reclaimed 666840.87 ( +0.00%) 749740.60 ( +12.43%) Swap out 77238.20 ( +0.00%) 110084.33 ( +42.53%) Swap in 11712.80 ( +0.00%) 24457.00 ( +108.80%) File refaults 143438.80 ( +0.00%) 188226.93 ( +31.22%) Also of note is that compaction work overall is reduced. The reason for this is that when free pageblocks are more readily available, allocations are also much more likely to get physically placed in LRU order, instead of being forced to scavenge free space here and there.

THP allocation failures are down from nearly 50% to 8.5%. And to recall previous data points, the success rates are steady and reliable without the cumulative deterioration of fragmentation events. Compaction work is down overall. Direct compaction work especially is drastically reduced. As an aside, its success rate of 4% indicates there is room for improvement. For now it's good to rely on it less. Reclaim work is up overall, however direct reclaim work is down. Part of the increase can be attributed to a higher use of THPs, which due to internal fragmentation increase the memory footprint. This is not necessarily an unexpected side-effect for users of THP. However, taken both points together, there may well be some opportunities for fine tuning in the reclaim/compaction coordination.

mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode kswapd/kcompactd assistance
When defrag_mode is enabled, allocation fallbacks strongly prefer whole block conversions instead of polluting or stealing partially used blocks. This means there is a demand for pageblocks even from sub-block requests. Let kswapd/kcompactd help produce them. By the time kswapd gets woken up, normal rmqueue and block conversion fallbacks have been attempted and failed. So always wake kswapd with the block order; it will take care of producing a suitable compaction gap and then chain-wake kcompactd with the block order when its done.

Reclaim activity is higher. Part of that is simply due to the increased memory footprint from higher THP use. The other aspect is that *direct* reclaim/compaction are still going for requested orders rather than targeting the page blocks required for fallbacks, which is less efficient than it could be. However, this is already a useful tradeoff to make, as in many environments peak periods are short and retaining the ability to produce THP through them is more important.

mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode
The page allocator groups requests by migratetype to stave off fragmentation. However, in practice this is routinely defeated by the fact that it gives up *before* invoking reclaim and compaction - which may well produce suitable pages. As a result, fragmentation of physical memory is a common ongoing process in many load scenarios. Fragmentation deteriorates compaction's ability to produce huge pages. Depending on the lifetime of the fragmenting allocations, those effects can be long-lasting or even permanent, requiring drastic measures like forcible idle states or even reboots as the only reliable ways to recover the address space for THP production. In a kernel build test with supplemental THP pressure, the THP allocation rate steadily declines over 15 runs: thp_fault_alloc 61988 56474 57258 50187 52388 55409 52925 47648 43669 40621 36077 41721 36685 34641 33215 This is a hurdle in adopting THP in any environment where hosts are shared between multiple overlapping workloads (cloud environments), and rarely experience true idle periods. To make THP a reliable and predictable optimization, there needs to be a stronger guarantee to avoid such fragmentation. Introduce defrag_mode. When enabled, reclaim/compaction is invoked to its full extent *before* falling back. Specifically, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is enforced on the allocator fastpath and the reclaiming slowpath. For now, fallbacks are permitted to avert OOMs. There is a plan to add defrag_mode=2 to prefer OOMs over fragmentation, but this requires additional prep work in compaction and the reserve management to make it ready for all possible allocation contexts. The following test results are from a kernel build with periodic bursts of THP allocations, over 15 runs: vanilla defrag_mode=1 @claimer[unmovable]: 189 103 @claimer[movable]: 92 103 @claimer[reclaimable]: 207 61 @pollute[unmovable from movable]: 25 0 @pollute[unmovable from reclaimable]: 28 0 @pollute[movable from unmovable]: 38835 0 @pollute[movable from reclaimable]: 147136 0 @pollute[reclaimable from unmovable]: 178 0 @pollute[reclaimable from movable]: 33 0 @steal[unmovable from movable]: 11 0 @steal[unmovable from reclaimable]: 5 0 @steal[reclaimable from unmovable]: 107 0 @steal[reclaimable from movable]: 90 0 @steal[movable from reclaimable]: 354 0 @steal[movable from unmovable]: 130 0 Both types of polluting fallbacks are eliminated in this workload. Interestingly, whole block conversions are reduced as well. This is because once a block is claimed for a type, its empty space remains available for future allocations, instead of being padded with fallbacks; this allows the native type to group up instead of spreading out to new blocks. The assumption in the allocator has been that pollution from movable allocations is less harmful than from other types, since they can be reclaimed or migrated out should the space be needed. However, since fallbacks occur *before* reclaim/compaction is invoked, movable pollution will still cause non-movable allocations to spread out and claim more blocks. Without fragmentation, THP rates hold steady with defrag_mode=1: thp_fault_alloc 32478 20725 45045 32130 14018 21711 40791 29134 34458 45381 28305 17265 22584 28454 30850 While the downward trend is eliminated, the keen reader will of course notice that the baseline rate is much smaller than the vanilla kernel's to begin with. This is due to deficiencies in how reclaim and compaction are currently driven: ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT increases the extent to which smaller allocations are competing with THPs for pageblocks, while making no effort themselves to reclaim or compact beyond their own request size. This effect already exists with the current usage of ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT, but is amplified by defrag_mode insisting on whole block stealing much more strongly. Subsequent patches will address defrag_mode reclaim strategy to raise the THP success baseline above the vanilla kernel.

mm: page_alloc: trace type pollution from compaction capturing
When the page allocator places pages of a certain migratetype into blocks of another type, it has lasting effects on the ability to compact and defragment down the line. For improving placement and compaction, visibility into such events is crucial. The most common case, allocator fallbacks, is already annotated, but compaction capturing is also allowed to grab pages of a different type. Extend the tracepoint to cover this case.

Patch series "mm: reliable huge page allocator". This series makes changes to the allocator and reclaim/compaction code to try harder to avoid fragmentation. As a result, this makes huge page allocations cheaper, more reliable and more sustainable. It's a subset of the huge page allocator RFC initially proposed here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230418191313.268131-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/ The following results are from a kernel build test, with additional concurrent bursts of THP allocations on a memory-constrained system.

These metrics also hold up over time, while the vanilla kernel sees a steady downward trend in success rates with each subsequent run, owed to the cumulative effects of fragmentation. A more detailed discussion of results is in the patch changelogs. The patches first introduce a vm.defrag_mode sysctl, which enforces the existing ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT alloc flag until after reclaim and compaction have run. They then change kswapd and kcompactd to target pageblocks, which boosts success in the ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT hotpaths. Patches #1 and #2 are somewhat unrelated cleanups, but touch the same code and so are included here to avoid conflicts from re-ordering. This patch (of 5): compaction_suitable() hardcodes the min watermark, with a boost to the low watermark for costly orders. However, compaction_ready() requires order-0 at the high watermark. It currently checks the marks twice. Make the watermark a parameter to compaction_suitable() and have the callers pass in what they require: - compaction_zonelist_suitable() is used by the direct reclaim path, so use the min watermark. - compact_suit_allocation_order() has a watermark in context derived from cc->alloc_flags. The only quirk is that kcompactd doesn't initialize cc->alloc_flags explicitly. There is a direct check in kcompactd_do_work() that passes ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, but there is another check downstack in compact_zone() that ends up passing the unset alloc_flags. Since they default to 0, and that coincides with ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, it is correct. But it's subtle. Set cc->alloc_flags explicitly. - should_continue_reclaim() is direct reclaim, use the min watermark. - Finally, consolidate the two checks in compaction_ready() to a single compaction_suitable() call passing the high watermark. There is a tiny change in behavior: before, compaction_suitable() would check order-0 against min or low, depending on costly order. Then there'd be another high watermark check. Now, the high watermark is passed to compaction_suitable(), and the costly order-boost (low - min) is added on top. This means compaction_ready() sets a marginally higher target for free pages. In a kernelbuild + THP pressure test, though, this didn't show any measurable negative effects on memory pressure or reclaim rates. As the comment above the check says, reclaim is usually stopped short on should_continue_reclaim(), and this just defines the worst-case reclaim cutoff in case compaction is not making any headway.

mm/hwpoison: do not send SIGBUS to processes with recovered clean pages
When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when the data is about to be consumed. - Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1] Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action Optional) signature in the machine check bank. This was overkill because it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that bad data. It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE interrupts and finally become an IERR. Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to #CMCI. Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA* signature name. - Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in Intel platform [1] Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors, the memory controller uses it for reads too. But the memory controller is executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference between a "real" read and a speculative read. So it will do CMCI/UCNA if an error is found in any read. Thus: 1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a speculative read. 2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read request 3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the core that will soon try to retire the load from address A. Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page (marking it as poison). - Why user process is killed for instr case Commit |

mm: lock PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with acquire memory ordering
The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit. Use test_and_set_bit_lock rather than test_and_set_bit to test-and-set PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with an acquire memory ordering semantic. This changes the "lock" acquisition from a full barrier to an acquire memory ordering, which is weaker. The acquire semi-permeable barrier paired with the release on unlock is sufficient for this mutual exclusion use-case. No behavior change intended other than to reduce overhead by using the appropriate barrier.

mm: add missing release barrier on PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED unlock
The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node
reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit.
It is "locked" with a test_and_set_bit (similarly to a try lock) which
provides full ordering with respect to loads and stores done within
__node_reclaim().
It is "unlocked" with clear_bit(), which does not provide any ordering
with respect to loads and stores done before clearing the bit.
The lack of clear_bit() memory ordering with respect to stores within
__node_reclaim() can cause a subsequent CPU to fail to observe stores from
a prior node reclaim. This is not an issue in practice on TSO (e.g.
x86), but it is an issue on weakly-ordered architectures (e.g. arm64).
Fix this by using clear_bit_unlock rather than clear_bit to clear
PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with a release memory ordering semantic.
This provides stronger memory ordering (release rather than relaxed).

mm/madvise: split out populate behavior check logic
madvise_do_behavior() has a long open-coded 'behavior' check for MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE}. It adds multiple layers[1] and make the code arguably take longer time to read. Like is_memory_failure(), split out the check to a separate function. This is not technically removing the additional layer but discourage further extending the switch-case. Also it makes madvise_do_behavior() code shorter and therefore easier to read.

mm/madvise: use is_memory_failure() from madvise_do_behavior()
Patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications". Cleanup madvise entry level code for cleaner request validations and classifications. This patch (of 4): To reduce redundant open-coded checks of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE and MADV_{HWPOISON,SOFT_OFFLINE} in madvise_[un]lock(), is_memory_failure() is introduced. madvise_do_behavior() is still doing the same open-coded check, though. Use is_memory_failure() instead. To avoid build failure on !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE case, implement an empty madvise_inject_error() under the config. Also move the definition of is_memory_failure() inside #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE clause for madvise_inject_error() definition, to reduce duplicated ifdef clauses.

mm/page_alloc: add trace event for totalreserve_pages calculation
This commit introduces a new trace event, `mm_calculate_totalreserve_pages`, which reports the new reserve value at the exact time when it takes effect. The `totalreserve_pages` value represents the total amount of memory reserved across all zones and nodes in the system. This reserved memory is crucial for ensuring that critical kernel operations have access to sufficient memory, even under memory pressure. By tracing the `totalreserve_pages` value, developers can gain insights that how the total reserved memory changes over time.

mm/shmem: use xas_try_split() in shmem_split_large_entry()

Instead of splitting all n slots, only the 1 slot covered by the folio need to be split and the remaining n-1 shadow entries can be retained with orders ranging from 0 to n-1. This method only requires (n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) new xa_nodes instead of (n % XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) * (n/XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) new xa_nodes, compared to the original xas_split_alloc() + xas_split() one. For example, to split an order-9 large swap entry (assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT is 6), 1 xa_node is needed instead of 8. xas_try_split_min_order() is used to reduce the number of calls to xas_try_split() during split.

mm/filemap: use xas_try_split() in __filemap_add_folio()
Patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split", v3. When splitting a multi-index entry in XArray from order-n to order-m, existing xas_split_alloc()+xas_split() approach requires 2^(n % XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node allocations. But its callers, __filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry(), use at most 1 xa_node. To minimize xa_node allocation and remove the limitation of no split from order-12 (or above) to order-0 (or anything between 0 and 5)[1], xas_try_split() was added[2], which allocates (n / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT - m / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node. It is used for non-uniform folio split, but can be used by __filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry(). xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() split an order-9 to order-0: --------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------- | | | | ------- --- --- ------- | | ... | | V V V V ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | xa_node | | xa_node | ... | xa_node | | xa_node | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- xas_try_split() splits an order-9 to order-0: --------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------- | | V ----------- | xa_node | ----------- xas_try_split() is designed to be called iteratively with n = m + 1. xas_try_split_mini_order() is added to minmize the number of calls to xas_try_split() by telling the caller the next minimal order to split to instead of n - 1. Splitting order-n to order-m when m= l * XA_CHUNK_SHIFT does not require xa_node allocation and requires 1 xa_node when n=l * XA_CHUNK_SHIFT and m = n - 1, so it is OK to use xas_try_split() with n > m + 1 when no new xa_node is needed. xfstests quick group test passed on xfs and tmpfs.

mm/truncate: use folio_split() in truncate operation
Instead of splitting the large folio uniformly during truncation, try to use buddy allocator like folio_split() at the start and the end of a truncation range to minimize the number of resulting folios if it is supported. try_folio_split() is introduced to use folio_split() if supported and it falls back to uniform split otherwise. For example, to truncate a order-4 folio [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 15] between [3, 10] (inclusive), folio_split() splits the folio at 3 to [0,1], [2], [3], [4..7], [8..15] and [3], [4..7] can be dropped and [8..15] is kept with zeros in [8..10], then another folio_split() is done at 10, so [8..10] can be dropped. One possible optimization is to make folio_split() to split a folio based on a given range, like [3..10] above. But that complicates folio_split(), so it will be investigated when necessary.

mm/huge_memory: add buddy allocator like (non-uniform) folio_split()
folio_split() splits a large folio in the same way as buddy allocator splits a large free page for allocation. The purpose is to minimize the number of folios after the split. For example, if user wants to free the 3rd subpage in a order-9 folio, folio_split() will split the order-9 folio as: O-0, O-0, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-8 if it is anon, since anon folio does not support order-1 yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | |O-0|O-0|O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- O-1, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-9 if it is pagecache --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | O-1 |O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- It generates fewer folios (i.e., 11 or 10) than existing page split approach, which splits the order-9 to 512 order-0 folios. It also reduces the number of new xa_node needed during a pagecache folio split from 8 to 1, potentially decreasing the folio split failure rate due to memory constraints. folio_split() and existing split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() share the folio unmapping and remapping code in __folio_split() and the common backend split code in __split_unmapped_folio() using uniform_split variable to distinguish their operations. uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() are added to factor out check code and will be used outside __folio_split() in the following commit.

mm/huge_memory: move folio split common code to __folio_split()
This is a preparation patch for folio_split(). In the upcoming patch folio_split() will share folio unmapping and remapping code with split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), so move the code to a common function __folio_split() first. Add a TODO for splitting large shmem folio in swap cache.

mm/huge_memory: add two new (not yet used) functions for folio_split()
This is a preparation patch, both added functions are not used yet. The added __split_unmapped_folio() is able to split a folio with its mapping removed in two manners: 1) uniform split (the existing way), and 2) buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) split. The added __split_folio_to_order() can split a folio into any lower order. For uniform split, __split_unmapped_folio() calls it once to split the given folio to the new order. For buddy allocator like (non-uniform) split, __split_unmapped_folio() calls it (folio_order - new_order) times and each time splits the folio containing the given page to one lower order.

mm/vmalloc: refactor __vmalloc_node_range_noprof()
According to the code logic, the first parameter of the sub-function __get_vm_area_node() should be size instead of real_size. Then in __get_vm_area_node(), the size will be aligned, so the redundant alignment operation is deleted. The use of the real_size variable causes code redundancy, so it is removed to simplify the code. The real prefix is generally used to indicate the adjusted value of a parameter, but according to the code logic, it should indicate the original value, so it is recommended to rename it to original_align.

mm: page_ext: add an iteration API for page extensions
Patch series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API", v3. Introduction ============ [ Thanks to David Hildenbrand for identifying the root cause of this issue and proving guidance on how to fix it. The new API idea, bugs and misconceptions are all mine though ] Currently, trying to reserve 1G pages with page_owner=on and sparsemem causes a crash. The reproducer is very simple: 1. Build the kernel with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and the table extensions 2. Pass 'default_hugepagesz=1 page_owner=on' in the kernel command-line 3. Reserve one 1G page at run-time, this should crash (see patch 1 for backtrace) [ A crash with page_table_check is also possible, but harder to trigger ] Apparently, starting with commit |
