create_pagecache_thp_and_fd() fills the backing file for the pagecache THP
tests using repeated write() calls, but the return value is never checked.
If a write fails or completes only partially, the test may continue with
an incompletely initialized file and produce misleading results.
Check the result of write() and fail the test if the expected number of
bytes was not written.

We never select CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE on s390. Therefore,
free_bootmem_page() nowadays always translates to free_reserved_page().
Let's use free_reserved_page() to replace the free_bootmem_page() loop.

Likely, vmemmap freeing code could be factored out into the core in the

We removed the last user of NODE_INFO in commit 119c31caa5 ("mm/sparse:

But it really was never used it besides for safety-checks ever since it was
introduced in commit 0475327876 ("memory hotplug: register section/node
id to free"), where we had the comment:
5) The node information like pgdat has similar issues. But, this
will be able to be solved too by this.
(Not implemented yet, but, remembering node id in the pages.)
Of course, that never happened, and we are not planning on freeing the
node data (pgdat/pglist_data), during memory hotunplug.
So let's just stop marking the pgdat as NODE_INFO.

Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)".
We want to remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE. As a first step, let's
limit the remaining harm to x86 and core code, removing sparc, ppc and
s390 leftovers, starting the stepwise removal by removing and simplifying
some code.
Once a related x86 vmemmap fix [1] is in, we can merge part 2 that will
remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE entirely.
Tested on x86-64 with hugetlb vmemmap optimization in combination with
KMEMLEAK, making sure that the problem reported in dd0ff4d12d ("bootmem:
remove the vmemmap pages from kmemleak in put_page_bootmem") does not
reappear -- hoping I managed to trigger the original problem.
This patch (of 8):
sparc does not select CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, therefore,
register_page_bootmem_info_node() is a nop.
Let's just get rid of register_page_bootmem_info().

damon_rand() on the sampling_addr hot path called get_random_u32_below(),
which takes a local_lock_irqsave() around a per-CPU batched entropy pool
and periodically refills it with ChaCha20. At elevated nr_regions counts
(20k+), the lock_acquire / local_lock pair plus __get_random_u32_below()
dominate kdamond perf profiles.
Replace the helper with a lockless lfsr113 generator (struct rnd_state)
held per damon_ctx and seeded from get_random_u64() in damon_new_ctx().
kdamond is the single consumer of a given ctx, so no synchronization is
required. Range mapping uses traditional reciprocal multiplication,
similar as get_random_u32_below(); for spans larger than U32_MAX (only
reachable on 64-bit) the slow path combines two u32 outputs and uses
mul_u64_u64_shr() at 64-bit width. On 32-bit the slow path is dead code
and gets eliminated by the compiler.
The new helper takes a ctx parameter; damon_split_regions_of() and the
kunit tests that call it directly are updated accordingly.
lfsr113 is a linear PRNG and MUST NOT be used for anything
security-sensitive. DAMON's sampling_addr is not exposed to userspace and
is only consumed as a probe point for PTE accessed-bit sampling, so a
non-cryptographic PRNG is appropriate here.
Tested with paddr monitoring and max_nr_regions=20000: kdamond CPU usage
reduced from ~72% to ~50% of one core.

"userfaultfd: verify VMA state across UFFDIO_COPY retry", which is a

if (vma_is_anonymous(vma))
return &anon_uffd_ops;
return vma->vm_ops ? vma->vm_ops->uffd_ops : NULL;

This is doing a redundant check _and_ making life confusing, as if
!vma->vm_ops is a condition that can be reached there, it can't, as
vma_is_anonymous() is literally a !vma->vm_ops check :)
Remove the redundant check.

Patch series "userfaultfd: verify VMA state across UFFDIO_COPY retry", v2.
... and two more small fixes.
This patch (of 3):
mfill_copy_folio_retry() drops the VMA lock for copy_from_user() and
reacquires it afterwards. The destination VMA can be replaced during that
window.
The existing check compares vma_uffd_ops() before and after the retry, but
if a shmem VMA with MAP_SHARED is replaced with a shmem VMA with
MAP_PRIVATE (or vice versa) the replacement goes undetected.
The change from MAP_PRIVATE to MAP_SHARED will treat the folio allocated
with shmem_alloc_folio() as anonymous and this will cause BUG() when
mfill_atomic_install_pte() will try to folio_add_new_anon_rmap().
The change from MAP_SHARED to MAP_PRIVATE allows injection of folios into
the page cache of the original VMA.
There is no need to change for hugetlb because it never uses
mfill_copy_folio_retry().
Introduce helpers for more comprehensive comparison of VMA state:
- mfill_retry_state_save() to save the relevant VMA state into a struct
mfill_retry_state (original uffd_ops, relevant VMA flags, vm_file and
pgoff) before dropping the lock
- mfill_retry_state_changed() to compare the saved state with the state
of the VMA acquired after retaking the locks
- mfill_retry_state_put() to release vm_file pinning.
Use DEFINE_FREE() cleanup to wrap mfill_retry_state_put() to avoid
complicating error handling paths in mfill_copy_folio_retry().

vmemmap_restore_pte() rebuilds restored vmemmap pages from a tail-page
template derived from compound_head(). This is wrong when the current PTE
already maps a page whose contents are not tail-page metadata.
In the rollback path of vmemmap_remap_free(), the first restored PTE is
backed by vmemmap_head and contains head-page metadata. Reconstructing
that page from a tail-page template overwrites the head-page state and
corrupts the restored vmemmap page.
Fix this by copying the full page from the page currently mapped by the
PTE. Also pass vmemmap_tail to the rollback walk so only PTEs backed by
the shared tail page are restored, while the head PTE remains mapped to
vmemmap_head. Add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() checks for unexpected cases.

damon_get_folio() speculatively calls folio_test_lru() before
folio_try_get(). The folio can get freed and reallocated to a tail page.
In the case, VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in const_folio_flags() can be triggered.
Remove the speculative call.
Also mark folio_test_lru() check right after folio_try_get() success as no
more unlikely.
The race should be rare. Also the problem can happen only if the kernel
has enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS. No real world report of this issue
has been made so far. This fix is based on only theoretical analysis.
That said, a bug is a bug. A similar issue was also fixed via commit
3203b3ab0f ("mm/filemap: don't call folio_test_locked() without a
reference in next_uptodate_folio()"). I don't expect this change will
make a meaningful impact to DAMON performance in the real world, though I
will be happy to be corrected from the real world reports.

Add a regression test for the per-scan verbose dedup added in the
preceding commit. The test loads samples/kmemleak's helper module
(CONFIG_SAMPLE_KMEMLEAK=m) to generate orphan allocations, several of
which share an allocation backtrace, runs four kmemleak scans with verbose
printing enabled, then walks dmesg looking for two "unreferenced object"
reports within a single scan that share an identical backtrace - which
would mean dedup failed to collapse them.
The test is intentionally permissive on detection but strict on
regressions:
- PASS when no duplicates are observed, regardless of whether the
dedup summary line ("... and N more object(s) with the same
backtrace") was actually emitted. Per-CPU chunk reuse, slab
freelist pointers, kernel stack residue and CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_
AUTO_SCAN can all keep most of the orphans "still referenced" or
reported across many separate scans, so the dedup path may have
nothing to fold within one scan. That is not a regression.
- PASS reports whether dedup actually fired, so a passing run on a
well-behaved environment is still informative.
- FAIL when two same-backtrace reports land in a single scan (clear
dedup regression).
- FAIL when kmemleak's own per-scan tally counts leaks but the
verbose path emits zero "unreferenced object" lines - that catches
a regression in the verbose printer itself, which would otherwise
pass the duplicate check trivially.
- SKIP when kmemleak is absent, disabled at runtime, or the helper
module is not built.
The dmesg parser anchors stack-frame matching to the indentation kmemleak
uses for them (4+ spaces under "kmemleak: ") so unrelated kmemleak
warnings landing between reports do not get lumped into the backtrace key
and mask a duplicate.

Patch series "mm/kmemleak: dedupe verbose scan output", v3.
I am starting to run with kmemleak in verbose enabled in some "probe
points" across the my employers fleet so that suspected leaks land in
dmesg without needing a separate read of /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak.
The downside is that workloads which leak many objects from a single
allocation site flood the console with byte-for-byte identical backtraces.
Hundreds of duplicates per scan are common, drowning out distinct leaks
and unrelated kernel messages, while adding no signal beyond the first
occurrence.
This series collapses those duplicates inside kmemleak itself. Each
unique stackdepot trace_handle prints once per scan, followed by a short
summary line when more than one object shares it:
kmemleak: unreferenced object 0xff110001083beb00 (size 192):
kmemleak: comm "modprobe", pid 974, jiffies 4294754196
kmemleak: ...
kmemleak: backtrace (crc 6f361828):
kmemleak: __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x1af/0x650
kmemleak: ...
kmemleak: ... and 71 more object(s) with the same backtrace
The "N new suspected memory leaks" tally and the contents of
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak are unchanged - the per-object detail is still
available on demand, only the verbose (dmesg) output is collapsed.
Patch 1 is the kmemleak change.
Patch 2 adds a selftest that loads samples/kmemleak's CONFIG_SAMPLE
kmemleak-test module to generate ten leaks sharing one call site and
checks that the printed count is strictly less than the reported leak
total. Not sure if Patch 2 is useful or not, if not, it is easier to
discard.
This patch (of 2):
In kmemleak's verbose mode, every unreferenced object found during a scan
is logged with its full header, hex dump and 16-frame backtrace.
Workloads that leak many objects from a single allocation site flood dmesg
with byte-for-byte identical backtraces, drowning out distinct leaks and
other kernel messages.
Dedupe within each scan using stackdepot's trace_handle as the key: for
every leaked object with a recorded stack trace, look up the
representative kmemleak_object in a per-scan xarray keyed by trace_handle.
The first sighting stores the object pointer (with a get_object()
reference) and sets object->dup_count to 1; later sightings just bump
dup_count on the representative. After the scan, walk the xarray once and
emit each unique backtrace, followed by a single summary line when more
than one object shares it.
Leaks whose trace_handle is 0 (early-boot allocations tracked before
kmemleak_init() set up object_cache, or stack_depot_save() failures under
memory pressure) cannot be deduped, so they are still printed inline via
the same locked OBJECT_ALLOCATED-checked helper. The contents of
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak are unchanged - only the verbose console output
is collapsed.
Safety notes:
- The xarray store happens outside object->lock: object->lock is a
raw spinlock, while xa_store() may grab xa_node slab locks at a
higher wait-context level which lockdep flags as invalid.
trace_handle is captured under object->lock (which serialises with
kmemleak_update_trace()'s writer), so it is safe to use after
dropping the lock.
- get_object() pins the kmemleak_object metadata across
rcu_read_unlock(), but the underlying tracked allocation can still
be freed concurrently. The deferred print path therefore re-acquires
object->lock and re-checks OBJECT_ALLOCATED via print_leak_locked()
before touching object->pointer; __delete_object() clears that flag
under the same lock before the user memory goes away. The same
helper is used by the trace_handle == 0 and xa_store() failure
fallbacks, so every printer in the new path has identical safety
guarantees.
- If get_object() fails after we set OBJECT_REPORTED, the object is
already being torn down (use_count hit zero); the leak count is
still accurate but the verbose line is dropped, which is correct
- the memory was freed concurrently and is no longer a leak.
- If xa_store() fails to allocate an xa_node under memory pressure,
we fall back to printing inline via print_leak_locked() instead of
silently dropping the leak.
- The hex dump is skipped for coalesced entries (dup_count > 1):
bytes would differ across objects sharing a backtrace anyway, and
skipping it removes the only remaining read of object->pointer's
contents in the deferred path. The representative's reported size
may also differ from the coalesced objects' sizes; the printed
trace_handle reflects the representative's current value rather
than the value used as the dedup key, which is normally - but not
strictly - identical.

We hit a real softlockup in an internal stress test environment. The
workload was LTP memory/swap stress on a large arm64 machine, with 320
CPUs, about 1TB memory and an 8.6GB swap device. The system was under
heavy load and the swap device had a large number of full clusters. The
softlockup was triggered during a stress test after about 3 days.
So, add periodic cond_resched() calls during large full_clusters
reclaim operations to prevent softlockup issues.

test_percpu_basic() currently compares memory.current against only

That assumption is too strict: child cgroup creation also allocates
slab-backed metadata, so memory.current is expected to be larger than
percpu alone. One visible path is:
cgroup_mkdir()
cgroup_create()
cgroup_addrm_file()
cgroup_add_file()
__kernfs_create_file()
__kernfs_new_node()
kmem_cache_zalloc()
These kernfs allocations are charged as slab and show up in
memory.stat:slab.
Update the check to compare memory.current against (percpu + slab)
within MAX_VMSTAT_ERROR, and print slab/delta in the failure message to
improve diagnostics.

Patch series "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in
test_percpu_basic", v2.
This patch series addresses two separate issues that cause false
positive failures in the test_percpu_basic test within the cgroup
kmem selftests.
The first issue stems from a hardcoded assumption about the system
page size, which breaks the test on architectures with larger page
sizes.
The second issue is an overly strict memory check that fails to
account for the slab metadata allocated during cgroup creation.
This patch (of 2):
MAX_VMSTAT_ERROR uses a hardcoded page size of 4096, which assumes 4K
pages. This causes test_percpu_basic to fail on systems where the kernel
is configured with a larger page size, such as aarch64 systems using 16K
or 64K pages, where the maximum permissible discrepancy between
memory.current and percpu charges is proportionally larger.
Replace the hardcoded 4096 with sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) to correctly derive
the page size at runtime regardless of the underlying architecture or
kernel configuration.

Patch series "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting", v3.
mmap_miss is increased when synchronous mmap readahead is needed, and
decreased when filemap_map_pages() maps folios that are already in the
page cache. The decrease side can over-credit hits in two cases:
- fault-around installs nearby PTEs even though the fault only proves
that the faulting address was accessed;
- after synchronous mmap readahead returns VM_FAULT_RETRY, the retry
can find the folio brought in by the same miss and immediately
cancel that miss.
Current evidence comes from a local KVM/data-disk microbenchmark using
mmap_miss_probe, with an 8 GiB guest, 2 vCPUs, 8192 KiB read_ahead_kb,
cold page cache before each run, 1% of the file accessed, and medians of 3
runs.
mmap_miss_probe mmap()s a prepared file with MADV_NORMAL and then touches
one byte at selected base-page offsets. The access order is random,
sequential, or a fixed page stride. The harness drops caches before each
run and samples /proc/vmstat around that access loop.
The 20 GiB case below is a larger-than-memory file case in an 8 GiB guest.
No separate memory hog was used. The 4 GiB case uses the same 8 GiB
guest but keeps the file fit-in-memory.
Each case used a fresh temporary qcow2 data disk, seen by the guest as
/dev/vda, formatted as ext4 and mounted at /mnt/mmap-matrix.
Each result is "pgpgin GiB / elapsed seconds". "pgpgin GiB" is the delta
of the guest /proc/vmstat pgpgin counter, converted from KiB to GiB; it is
used here as an approximate block input counter, not as resident memory or
exact application IO. "Elapsed seconds" is the wall-clock runtime of the
whole mmap_miss_probe access pass, not per-access latency.
For the 20 GiB larger-than-memory case:
workload before after
random 223.377 GiB/101.293s 1.010 GiB/4.790s
stride1021 204.214 GiB/97.557s 204.208 GiB/108.086s

After the v2 implementation refactor, only the final P1+P2 shape was rerun
in the same setup. The numbers stayed in line with the v1 P1+P2 rows
above:
workload larger-than-memory case fit-in-memory case

sequential 0.212 GiB/0.060s 0.056 GiB/0.016s
This does not claim to solve every sparse pattern. The stride1021 rows
are intentionally shown as a boundary: with 8192 KiB read_ahead_kb,
file->f_ra.ra_pages is 2048 base pages, and synchronous mmap read-around
uses a 2048-page window centered around the fault, roughly [index - 1024,
index + 1023]. stride1021 is 1021 * 4 KiB = 4084 KiB, so the next access
lands inside the previous read-around window. About every other access
can be a real faulting-address page-cache hit, and the other half can each
read about 8 MiB. For about 52k accesses in the 20 GiB/1% run, half of
them times 8 MiB is about 205 GiB, matching the observed 204 GiB.
This patch (of 2):
filemap_map_pages() reduces file->f_ra.mmap_miss when fault-around maps
folios that are already present in the page cache. That hit accounting is
too generous because fault-around can install PTEs around the faulting
address even though the fault only proves that the faulting address was
accessed.
Move the mmap_miss update back into filemap_map_pages(), drop the
mmap_miss argument from the helper functions, and decrement mmap_miss only
when the helper return value shows that the faulting address was mapped.
Keep the existing workingset-folio behavior unchanged.

Patch series "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock", v3.
This series uses spinlock guard for zone lock across several mm functions
to replace explicit lock/unlock patterns with automatic scope-based
cleanup.
This simplifies the control flow by removing 'flags' variables, goto
labels, and redundant unlock calls.
Patches are ordered by decreasing value. The first six patches simplify
the control flow by removing gotos, multiple unlock paths, or 'ret'
variables. The last two are simpler lock/unlock pair conversions that
only remove 'flags' and can be dropped if considered unnecessary churn.
Binary size increase is +39 bytes, with Peter Zijlstra's fix for guards
[1] applied. This is due to the compiler not being able to deduplicate
epilogue and eliminate redundant NULL check. See discussion [2] for more
details. I proposed a patch [3] that fixes this, but until it is merged
we need to assume +39 bytes will stay (though it is compiler dependent).
This patch (of 8):
Use the spinlock_irqsave zone lock guard in reserve_highatomic_pageblock()
to replace the explicit lock/unlock and goto out_unlock pattern with
automatic scope-based cleanup.

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as deprecated".
Commit ab71d2d301 ("mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: let
damon_sysfs_scheme_set_filters() be used for different named directories")
introduced alternatives of 'filters' directory, namely core_filters/ and
'ops_filters/ directories. Now the alternatives are well stabilized and
ready for all users. All filters/ directory use cases are expected to be
able to be migrated to the alternatives. An LTS kernel having the
alternatives, namely 6.18.y, is also released. Existence of filters/
directory is only confusing.
It would be better not immediately removing the directory, though. There
could be users that need time before migrating to the alternatives. There
might be unexpected use cases that the alternatives cannot support. Doing
the deprecation step by step across multiple years like DAMON debugfs
deprecation would be safer. Start the deprecation changes by announcing
the deprecation on the documents.
Every year, one more action for completely removing the directory will be
followed, like DAMON debugfs deprecation did. Following yearly actions
are currently expected. In 2027, deprecation warning kernel messages will
be printed once, for use of filters/ directory. In 2028, filters/
directory will be renamed to filters_DEPRECATED/. In 2029,
filters_DEPRECATED/ directory will be removed.
This patch (of 2):
The alternatives of 'filters/' directory, namely 'core_filters/' and
'ops_filters/', can fully support all the features 'filters/' directory
can do, and provide better user experience. Having 'filters/' directory
is only confusing to users. Announce it as deprecated on the usage
document.

MADV_COLLAPSE uses errno values to provide actionable feedback to
userspace. Temporary resource constraints are mapped to -EAGAIN so the
caller may retry, while intrinsic failures of the specified range are
mapped to -EINVAL.
collapse_file() returns SCAN_PAGE_HAS_PRIVATE when filemap_release_folio()
fails while isolating file-backed folios for collapse. This currently
falls through the default case in madvise_collapse_errno() and is reported
to userspace as -EINVAL.
However, filemap_release_folio() failure commonly reflects temporary folio
state rather than a permanently uncollapsible range.
For example, ext4 returns false when a folio still has dirty journalled
data, btrfs returns false for dirty or writeback folios before extent
state release, and NFS may return false while reclaiming
filesystem-private folio state.
In such cases, retrying MADV_COLLAPSE after writeback, reclaim or journal
progress may succeed. This matches the existing -EAGAIN handling for
SCAN_PAGE_DIRTY_OR_WRITEBACK and other transient collapse failures more
closely than -EINVAL.
Therefore, map SCAN_PAGE_HAS_PRIVATE to -EAGAIN so userspace receives
retryable feedback for this temporary failure path.

file_setup_area() currently allocates anonymous memory, fills it, and
writes it into the backing file used for collapse testing.
Instead of copying data through write(), resize the file with ftruncate(),
map it directly with MAP_SHARED, and initialize the mapped area in place.
This simplifies the setup path and avoids the need for explicit partial
write handling.

DAMON_LRU_SORT allows users to set the physical address range to monitor
and do the work on. When users don't explicitly set the range, the
biggest system ram resource of the system is selected as the monitoring
target address range. The intention was to reduce the overhead from
monitoring non-System RAM areas because monitoring non-System RAM may be
meaningless. However, because of the sampling based access check and
adaptive regions adjustment, the overhead should be negligible. It makes
more sense to just cover all system rams of the system. Do so.
