mm.git review status for linus..mm-nonmm-stable
Total patches: 126
Reviews/patch: 0.92
Reviewed rate: 76%
- The 2 patch series "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" from Oleg
Nesterov increases the robustness of our creation of init in a new
namespace. By clearing away some historical cruft which is no longer
needed. Also some documentation fixups are provided.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general"
from Mark Brown has a fixup and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall
selftest.
- The 3 patch series "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" from
Andy Shevchenko does as advertised.
- The 3 patch series "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for
hung task detector" from Aaron Tomlin gives administrators the ability
to zero out /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count.
- The 2 patch series "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from
tools/include/uapi" from Thomas Weißschuh teaches getdelays to use the
in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the system-provided ones.
- The 5 patch series "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup"
from Mayank Rungta provides several cleanups and fixups to the
hardlockup detector code and its documentation.
- The 2 patch series "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed
left-shifts" from Josh Law provides a couple of small/theoretical fixes
in the bch code.
- The 2 patch series "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()"
from Junrui Luo does what is claims.
- The 27 patch series "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" from Christoph
Hellwig is a quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better
than to quote Christoph:
The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right
now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and
not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in
include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/
header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so
architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or
create another module for the architecture code.
Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the
architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers
has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it
changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter
architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet),
and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead.
- The 2 patch series "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling
workarounds" from Kuan-Wei Chiu cleans up this library code by removing
a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually
need.
- The 5 patch series "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" from Christian
Ehrhardt fixes a few bugs in the scatterlist code, adds in-kernel tests
for the now-fixed bugs and fixes a leak in the test itself.
- The 3 patch series "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support
in ARM64 and PowerPC" from Coiby Xu eenables support of the
LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc.
- The 4 patch series "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into
block read callbacks" from Joseph Qi addresses ocfs2's validation of
extent list fields - cleanup, simplification, robustness. (Kernel test
robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!)

Networking changes for 7.1.
Core & protocols
----------------
- Support HW queue leasing, allowing containers to be granted access
to HW queues for zero-copy operations and AF_XDP.
- Number of code moves to help the compiler with inlining.
Avoid output arguments for returning drop reason where possible.
- Rework drop handling within qdiscs to include more metadata
about the reason and dropping qdisc in the tracepoints.
- Remove the rtnl_lock use from IP Multicast Routing.
- Pack size information into the Rx Flow Steering table pointer
itself. This allows making the table itself a flat array of u32s,
thus making the table allocation size a power of two.
- Report TCP delayed ack timer information via socket diag.
- Add ip_local_port_step_width sysctl to allow distributing the randomly
selected ports more evenly throughout the allowed space.
- Add support for per-route tunsrc in IPv6 segment routing.
- Start work of switching sockopt handling to iov_iter.
- Improve dynamic recvbuf sizing in MPTCP, limit burstiness and avoid
buffer size drifting up.
- Support MSG_EOR in MPTCP.
- Add stp_mode attribute to the bridge driver for STP mode selection.
This addresses concerns about call_usermodehelper() usage.
- Remove UDP-Lite support (as announced in 2023).
- Remove support for building IPv6 as a module.
Remove the now unnecessary function calling indirection.
Cross-tree stuff
----------------
- Move Michael MIC code from generic crypto into wireless,
it's considered insecure but some WiFi networks still need it.
Netfilter
---------
- Switch nft_fib_ipv6 module to no longer need temporary dst_entry
object allocations by using fib6_lookup() + RCU.
Florian W reports this gets us ~13% higher packet rate.
- Convert IPVS's global __ip_vs_mutex to per-net service_mutex and
switch the service tables to be per-net. Convert some code that
walks the service lists to use RCU instead of the service_mutex.
- Add more opinionated input validation to lower security exposure.
- Make IPVS hash tables to be per-netns and resizable.
Wireless
--------
- Finished assoc frame encryption/EPPKE/802.1X-over-auth.
- Radar detection improvements.
- Add 6 GHz incumbent signal detection APIs.
- Multi-link support for FILS, probe response templates and
client probing.
- New APIs and mac80211 support for NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking,
aka Wi-Fi Aware) so less work must be in firmware.
Driver API
----------
- Add numerical ID for devlink instances (to avoid having to create
fake bus/device pairs just to have an ID). Support shared devlink
instances which span multiple PFs.
- Add standard counters for reporting pause storm events
(implement in mlx5 and fbnic).
- Add configuration API for completion writeback buffering
(implement in mana).
- Support driver-initiated change of RSS context sizes.
- Support DPLL monitoring input frequency (implement in zl3073x).
- Support per-port resources in devlink (implement in mlx5).
Misc
----
- Expand the YAML spec for Netfilter.

A busier cycle than I had expected for docs, including:
- Translations: some overdue updates to the Japanese translations, Chinese
translations for some of the Rust documentation, and the beginnings of a
Portuguese translation.
- New documents covering CPU isolation, managed interrupts, debugging
Python gbb scripts, and more.
- More tooling work from Mauro, reducing docs-build warnings, adding self
tests, improving man-page output, bringing in a proper C tokenizer to
replace (some of) the mess of kernel-doc regexes, and more.
- Update and synchronize changes.rst and scripts/ver_linux, and put both
into alphabetical order.
...and a long list of documentation updates, typo fixes, and general

docs: sysctl: Add documentation for /proc/sys/xen/
Add documentation for the Xen hypervisor sysctl controls in /proc/sys/xen/balloon/.

hung_task: enable runtime reset of hung_task_detect_count
Currently, the hung_task_detect_count sysctl provides a cumulative count
of hung tasks since boot. In long-running, high-availability
environments, this counter may lose its utility if it cannot be reset once
an incident has been resolved. Furthermore, the previous implementation
relied upon implicit ordering, which could not strictly guarantee that
diagnostic metadata published by one CPU was visible to the panic logic on
another.
This patch introduces the capability to reset the detection count by
writing "0" to the hung_task_detect_count sysctl. The proc_handler logic
has been updated to validate this input and atomically reset the counter.
The synchronisation of sysctl_hung_task_detect_count relies upon a
transactional model to ensure the integrity of the detection counter
against concurrent resets from userspace. The application of
atomic_long_read_acquire() and atomic_long_cmpxchg_release() is correct
and provides the following guarantees:
1. Prevention of Load-Store Reordering via Acquire Semantics By
utilising atomic_long_read_acquire() to snapshot the counter
before initiating the task traversal, we establish a strict
memory barrier. This prevents the compiler or hardware from
reordering the initial load to a point later in the scan. Without
this "acquire" barrier, a delayed load could potentially read a
"0" value resulting from a userspace reset that occurred
mid-scan. This would lead to the subsequent cmpxchg succeeding
erroneously, thereby overwriting the user's reset with stale
increment data.
2. Atomicity of the "Commit" Phase via Release Semantics The
atomic_long_cmpxchg_release() serves as the transaction's commit
point. The "release" barrier ensures that all diagnostic
recordings and task-state observations made during the scan are
globally visible before the counter is incremented.
3. Race Condition Resolution This pairing effectively detects any
"out-of-band" reset of the counter. If
sysctl_hung_task_detect_count is modified via the procfs
interface during the scan, the final cmpxchg will detect the
discrepancy between the current value and the "acquire" snapshot.
Consequently, the update will fail, ensuring that a reset command
from the administrator is prioritised over a scan that may have
been invalidated by that very reset.

Networking changes for 7.0
Core & protocols
----------------
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls for
small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path. This
generates better and faster code with very small or no text size
increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than the
actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage by
up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the RX
path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without the
HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified, aligning
IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the rate
shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing a
single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations that
are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information, saving
cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most protocols,
avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies between
the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes back
online.
Driver API
----------
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a DPLL
device via netlink.

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core & protocols:
- A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.
This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
the actual inlined helper.
- Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
basis.
- Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
by up to ~30%.
- Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
the HBH hint.
- Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.
- Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
a single global rate on the interface.
- Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
that are safer in crash scenarios.
- Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.
- Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.
- Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.
- Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.
- Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.
- Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
across different network namespaces.
- Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
optimizations.
- Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
back online.
Driver API:
- Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
DPLL device via netlink.
- Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
media ports over a single MAC.
- Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
signaling.
- Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.
Device drivers:
- Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.
- Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
controller.
- Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches
- Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.
- Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().
- Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.
- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Broadcom (bnxt, bng):
- bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram
and NVRAM defragmentation
- bng: add TSO and H/W GRO support
- nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):
- improve latency of channel restart operations, reducing the
used H/W resources
- add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN
- add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules
- use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,
leading to 12% RX tput improvement
- Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
- ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline
locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new
layouts
- ice: introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support
- Meta (fbnic):
- adds debugfs for firmware mailbox and tx/rx rings vectors
- Ethernet virtual:
- geneve: introduce GRO/GSO support for double UDP encapsulation
- Ethernet NICs consumer, and embedded:
- Synopsys (stmmac):
- some code refactoring and cleanups
- RealTek (r8169):
- add support for RTL8127ATF (10G Fiber SFP)

A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is still a
fair amount going on, including:
- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for patch
submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption by
generative tools.
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to tools/docs. For
now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink behind to avoid breaking
scripts.
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of documentation in
Python code, better support for documenting variables, and lots of
improvements and fixes.
- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example -- to
the online pages in the HTML build.

The linuxrc initrd path was deprecated in 2020 and this series completes its removal. If we see real-life regressions we'll revert. The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load() becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()), rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted. The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real root device back to the kernel. The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped, and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings. Initramfs is entirely unaffected.

net: expand NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN to 256 bytes
NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN has been set to 52 bytes in 2014, until now.
Jakub suggested we bump the size to 128 bytes or more.
Some drivers (like idpf) were already working around the core limit.
Since this change might cause some issues in admin scripts,
bump it directly to 256 in one go.

mm/block/fs: remove laptop_mode
Laptop mode was introduced to save battery, by delaying and consolidating writes and thereby maximize the time rotating hard drives wouldn't have to spin. Luckily, rotating hard drives, with their high spin-up times and power draw, are a thing of the past for battery-powered devices. Reclaim has also since changed to not write single filesystem pages anymore, and regular filesystem writeback is lumpy by design. The juice doesn't appear worth the squeeze anymore. The footprint of the feature is small, but nevertheless it's a complicating factor in mm, block, filesystems. Developers don't think about it, and it likely hasn't been tested with new reclaim and writeback changes in years. Let's sunset it. Keep the sysctl with a deprecation warning around for a few more cycles, but remove all functionality behind it.

vsprintf.c uses a mix of the `kernel.kptr_restrict` sysctl and the `hash_pointers` boot param to control pointer hashing. But that wasn't possible to tell without looking at the source code.

net: add net.core.qdisc_max_burst
In blamed commit, I added a check against the temporary queue
built in __dev_xmit_skb(). Idea was to drop packets early,
before any spinlock was acquired.
if (unlikely(defer_count > READ_ONCE(q->limit))) {
kfree_skb_reason(skb, SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP);
return NET_XMIT_DROP;
}
It turned out that HTB Qdisc has a zero q->limit.
HTB limits packets on a per-class basis.
Some of our tests became flaky.
Add a new sysctl : net.core.qdisc_max_burst to control
how many packets can be stored in the temporary lockless queue.
Also add a new QDISC_BURST_DROP drop reason to better diagnose
future issues.
Thanks Neal !

This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem
designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot.
This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors
to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO
achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as
memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file
descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or
any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec
reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

sys_info: add a default kernel sys_info mask
Which serves as a global default sys_info mask. When users want the same system information for many error cases (panic, hung, lockup ...), they can chose to set this global knob only once, while not setting up each individual sys_info knobs. This just adds a 'lazy' option, and doesn't change existing kernel behavior as the mask is 0 by default.

docs: panic: correct some sys_ifo names in sysctl doc
Patch series "Enable hung_task and lockup cases to dump system info on
demand", v2.
When working on kernel stability issues: panic, task-hung and soft/hard
lockup are frequently met. And to debug them, user may need lots of
system information at that time, like task call stacks, lock info, memory
info, ftrace dump, etc.
panic case already uses sys_info() for this purpose, and has a
'panic_sys_info' sysctl(also support cmdline setup) interface to take
human readable string like "tasks,mem,timers,locks,ftrace,..." to control
what kinds of information is needed. Which is also helpful to debug
task-hung and lockup cases.
So this patchset introduces the similar sys_info sysctl interface for
task-hung and lockup cases.
his is mainly for debugging and the info dumping could be intrusive, like
dumping call stack for all tasks when system has huge number of tasks,
similarly for ftrace dump (we may add tracing_stop() and tracing_start()
around it)
Locally these have been used in our bug chasing for stability issues and
were helpful.
As Andrew suggested, add a configurable global 'kernel_sys_info' knob.
When error scenarios like panic/hung-task/lockup etc doesn't setup their
own sys_info knob and calls sys_info() with parameter "0", this global
knob will take effect. It could be used for other kernel cases like OOM,
which may not need one dedicated sys_info knob.
This patch (of 4):
Some sys_info names wered forgotten to change in patch iterations, while
the right names are defined in kernel/sys_info.c.

hung_task: panic when there are more than N hung tasks at the same time
The hung_task_panic sysctl is currently a blunt instrument: it's all or nothing. Panicking on a single hung task can be an overreaction to a transient glitch. A more reliable indicator of a systemic problem is when multiple tasks hang simultaneously. Extend hung_task_panic to accept an integer threshold, allowing the kernel to panic only when N hung tasks are detected in a single scan. This provides finer control to distinguish between isolated incidents and system-wide failures. The accepted values are: - 0: Don't panic (unchanged) - 1: Panic on the first hung task (unchanged) - N > 1: Panic after N hung tasks are detected in a single scan The original behavior is preserved for values 0 and 1, maintaining full backward compatibility.

net: Introduce net.core.bypass_prot_mem sysctl.
If a socket has sk->sk_bypass_prot_mem flagged, the socket opts out of the global protocol memory accounting. Let's control the flag by a new sysctl knob.

SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF have limited range today, unless distros or system admins change rmem_max and wmem_max. Even iproute2 uses 1 MB SO_RCVBUF which is capped by the kernel. Decouple [rw]mem_max and [rw]mem_default and increase [rw]mem_max to 4 MB. Before: $ sysctl net.core.rmem_default net.core.rmem_max net.core.wmem_default net.core.wmem_max net.core.rmem_default = 212992 net.core.rmem_max = 212992 net.core.wmem_default = 212992 net.core.wmem_max = 212992 After: $ sysctl net.core.rmem_default net.core.rmem_max net.core.wmem_default net.core.wmem_max net.core.rmem_default = 212992 net.core.rmem_max = 4194304 net.core.wmem_default = 212992 net.core.wmem_max = 4194304 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250819174030.1986278-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

- The 2 patch series "squashfs: Remove page->mapping references" from
Matthew Wilcox gets us closer to being able to remove page->mapping.
- The 5 patch series "relayfs: misc changes" from Jason Xing does some
maintenance and minor feature addition work in relayfs.
- The 5 patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA" from Jiri
Bohac switches us from static preallocation of the kdump crashkernel's
working memory over to dynamic allocation. So the difficulty of
a-priori estimation of the second kernel's needs is removed and the
first kernel obtains extra memory.
- The 5 patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used

It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build system:
- The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the turn of
the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated a vast
amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal with anymore.
Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully reproduced all of the cruft
in the hope of avoiding regressions. Now that we have a more reasonable
code base, though, we can work on cleaning it up; many of the changes
this time around are toward that end.
- A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.
- Various Chinese translations and updates.
- A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.
- A new document for linked lists
- A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository links.
...and lots of fixes and updates.

Summary
* Move sysctls out of the kern_table array
This is the final move of ctl_tables into their respective subsystems. Only 5
(out of the original 50) will remain in kernel/sysctl.c file; these handle
either sysctl or common arch variables.
By decentralizing sysctl registrations, subsystem maintainers regain control
over their sysctl interfaces, improving maintainability and reducing the
likelihood of merge conflicts.
* docs: Remove false positives from check-sysctl-docs
Stopped falsely identifying sysctls as undocumented or unimplemented in the
check-sysctl-docs script. This script can now be used to automatically
identify if documentation is missing.
* Testing
All these have been in linux-next since rc3, giving them a solid 3 to 4 weeks
worth of testing. Additionally, sysctl selftests and kunit were also run
locally on my x86_64

stackleak: Rename STACKLEAK to KSTACK_ERASE
In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking that can support stack depth callbacks: - Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang stack depth callback support. - Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE, but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself. - Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn. While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS, since that's the only place it is referenced from.

panic: clean up code for console replay
Patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used by other kernel parts", v3. When working on kernel stability issues, panic, task-hung and software/hardware lockup are frequently met. And to debug them, user may need lots of system information at that time, like task call stacks, lock info, memory info etc. panic case already has panic_print_sys_info() for this purpose, and has a 'panic_print' bitmask to control what kinds of information is needed, which is also helpful to debug other task-hung and lockup cases. So this patchset extracts the function out to a new file 'lib/sys_info.c', and makes it available for other cases which also need to dump system info for debugging. Also as suggested by Petr Mladek, add 'panic_sys_info=' interface to take human readable string like "tasks,mem,locks,timers,ftrace,....", and eventually obsolete the current 'panic_print' bitmap interface. In RFC and V1 version, hung_task and SW/HW watchdog modules are enabled with the new sys_info dump interface. In v2, they are kept out for better review of current change, and will be posted later. Locally these have been used in our bug chasing for stability issues and was proven helpful. Many thanks to Petr Mladek for great suggestions on both the code and architectures! This patch (of 5): Currently the panic_print_sys_info() was called twice with different parameters to handle console replay case, which is kind of confusing. Add panic_console_replay() explicitly and rename 'PANIC_PRINT_ALL_PRINTK_MSG' to 'PANIC_CONSOLE_REPLAY', to make the code straightforward. The related kernel document is also updated.

- 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. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "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". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently." - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents." - The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaDt5qgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA ju6XAP9nTiSfRz8Cz1n5LJZpFKEGzLpSihCYyR6P3o1L9oe3mwEAlZ5+XAwk2I5x Qqb/UGMEpilyre1PayQqOnct3aSL9Ao= =tYYm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "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. - "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. - "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. - "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. - "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. - "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. - "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. - "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. - "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. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "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". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents. - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (285 commits) mm: pcp: increase pcp->free_count threshold to trigger free_high mm/hugetlb: convert use of struct page to folio in __unmap_hugepage_range() mm/hugetlb: refactor __unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio instead of page mm/hugetlb: refactor unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio instead of page mm/hugetlb: pass folio instead of page to unmap_ref_private() memcg: objcg stock trylock without irq disabling memcg: no stock lock for cpu hot-unplug memcg: make __mod_memcg_lruvec_state re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: make count_memcg_events re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: make mod_memcg_state re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: move preempt disable to callers of memcg_rstat_updated memcg: memcg_rstat_updated re-entrant safe against irqs mm: khugepaged: decouple SHMEM and file folios' collapse selftests/eventfd: correct test name and improve messages alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init Docs/damon: update titles and brief introductions to explain DAMOS selftests/damon/_damon_sysfs: read tried regions directories in order mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: add a test for damos_set_filters_default_reject() mm/damon/paddr: remove unused variable, folio_list, in damon_pa_stat() mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: fix wrong comment on damons_sysfs_quota_goal_metric_strs ... |
