Merge tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- writeback:
- Update dirtied_when instead of dirtied_time_when when a wb switch
puts an inode at the newest end of the target b_dirty list. The
list was left out of order so move_expired_inodes() could stop
before older inodes, and the lazytime expiration timestamp was
reset
- Clear the old wb's dirty-I/O state and bandwidth contribution when
a batch of inode switches leaves its dirty lists empty. An empty
wb stayed scheduled for periodic writeback and inflated
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth
- Take wb_switch_rwsem across the inode scan of
cleanup_offline_cgwb(). The v7.3-rc5 fix that rotates scanned
inodes let a scan racing a sync()'s queue_io() move lazytime
inodes past the sync's cutoff, so sync() returned without
persisting their timestamps
- Don't kick writeback for an IOCB_DONTCACHE write on an inode that
has no wb yet. With cgroup writeback an O_DIRECT RWF_DONTCACHE
write to a block device dereferenced NULL
- statmount/listmount/listns:
- Refuse statmount() string requests with a buffer that isn't larger
than struct statmount
- Don't wrap around with a U64_MAX cursor in listmount() and
listns()
- Don't end listns() at an inactive namespace
- Only add init_ipc_ns and init_net to the namespace trees if
CONFIG_IPC_NS and CONFIG_NET_NS are enabled
- iomap:
- Only mark blocks uptodate in __iomap_write_begin() after reading
them and let __iomap_write_end() mark the zeroed blocks uptodate
once the copy from userspace succeeded
- Check a chunk against max_integrity_io_size() on its own before
the bio size check
- Only enforce block alignment for direct I/O into holes and
unwritten extents if IOMAP_DIO_FSBLOCK_ALIGNED is set
- backing-file:
- Check S_APPEND and S_IMMUTABLE on the backing inode. FUSE
passthrough opens the backing file with vfs_open() which skips
may_open(), so anyone who may open the FUSE file for writing could
overwrite an append-only backing file anywhere or write to an
immutable one. Open, mmap and writes now check the backing inode
the way may_open() and do_mmap() do
- Always call kiocb_end_write() for a queued write
- Let backing files inherit FMODE_NONOTIFY from the user file. The
event fds fanotify creates for permission events on a stacked
filesystem raised FS_OPEN_PERM on the real path from inside the
listener's read() and deadlocked listeners with marks on both
layers
- pidfs:
- Look the task up before checking for exit information in
PIDFD_GET_INFO and start over if the task no longer owns the pid
once all fields have been read. A caller racing release_task() got
neither PIDFD_INFO_PID nor PIDFD_INFO_EXIT or ESRCH although the
exit information was available, and a caller racing a sub-thread's
exec reported that thread's tid as the pid
- Clear the mask bits of fields that lie beyond the struct size the
caller passed. The uapi header promises that the mask names no
such field but a caller passing PIDFD_INFO_SIZE_VER0 got the
coredump and supported mask bits set for fields that were never
written
- aio:
- Give the aio ring a ->read_folio that fails with EIO so a fault on
a ring whose file was truncated gets SIGBUS instead of jumping to
NULL
- Check nr_events against the ring size before doubling it in
ioctx_alloc()
- splice:
- Only write back an implicit file position in do_splice() when the
splice helper succeeded. splice doesn't take f_pos_lock so a
failed splice restored a stale snapshot over a position that a
concurrent getdents() had moved. On ext2 the next readdir then
trusted an offset inside a directory entry
- Retry tee() when the input pipe was emptied or the output pipe
filled between the prep steps and link_pipe() instead of returning
0 while the input pipe still has writers, as splice_pipe_to_pipe()
does
- ucount:
- Take the reference that pins a ucounts level on the 0 -> 1
transition before checking the rlimit
- Read the parent ucounts before dropping the rlimit count in
do_dec_rlimit_put_ucounts()
- inode:
- Rotate inodes whose page cache couldn't be dropped to the tail of
the LRU
- Skip inodes that another LRU walker is isolating
- setns:
- Set nsset->flags before anything in prepare_nsset() can fail so
the error path drops the cred prepared for CLONE_NEWUSER. A
failing setns() with CLONE_NEWUSER and CLONE_NEWNS leaked it
together with its user namespace
- Refuse setns(CLONE_NEWNS) for a task that shares its fs_struct
again when more namespaces are requested
- minix:
- Restore uptodate on the pinned bitmap buffers before redirtying
them after a failed writeback instead of tripping the warning in
mark_buffer_dirty(), as ext2 and ext4 do for their superblock
buffers
- Reject rmdir() of a directory with a corrupted link count with
EFSCORRUPTED instead of hitting the drop_nlink() warning
- userns: Keep the exec securebits and their locks when creating or
joining a user namespace. set_cred_user_ns() reset all securebits to
SECUREBITS_DEFAULT so anyone who may create a user namespace could
shed SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE and SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE with
a single unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
- fs: Honor FOP_UNSIGNED_OFFSET in sys_llseek() and in the pread64(),
pwrite64(), preadv() and pwritev() wrappers
- proc/kcore: Advance the vmalloc retry in read_kcore_iter() by the
last vread_iter() copy instead of the running total
- eventpoll: Return the error when the wakeup source for EPOLLWAKEUP
can't be created in EPOLL_CTL_MOD instead of reporting success
without suspend protection
- coredump: Mark do_coredump() noinline_for_stack
- nsfs: Check the trailing bytes of a namespace file handle in bytes
instead of words
- netfs: Restore the per-level and per-point decoding of the debug mask
- exportfs: Release the directory file get_name() opened with
__fput_sync(). From nfsd's kernel threads the deferred fputs arrived
faster than delayed_fput retired them and each pinned the directory's
readdir state, growing unreclaimable slab by about 90 MB per second
under a parallel tree walk
- fs: Call ramfs_kill_sb() for a ramfs rootfs. Since rootfs can be
unmounted as of v7.0 its struct ramfs_fs_info was leaked
- signal: Check the blocked mask for every entry
dequeue_synchronous_signal() looks at. The scan could select a
blocked synchronous signal and deliver it while blocked
- super: Convert the superblock device table from an rhltable to a
plain hashtable under a spinlock. This fixes a bug from v7.3 where
fs_bdev_freeze() froze a btrfs filesystem through a stale member that
open_ctree() had already released while the freeze was waiting for
SB_BORN
- fork: Leave rcu_users at zero until copy_process() can't fail
anymore. bpf_task_acquire() handed out trusted references to the new
task from the task_alloc LSM hook and sched_ext's ops.init_task() and
a failing fork freed the task behind them
- xattr: Always run cap_convert_nscap() for a security.capability
write. A zero-length setxattr() skipped it and let an unprivileged
caller without CAP_SETFCAP or write permission on the file plant an
empty security.capability xattr that made every execve() of the
binary fail with EINVAL
- namei: Skip the S_ISDIR assertion in
- proc: Refuse to mount on entries below /proc/<pid>/net like fd/,
fdinfo/ and map_files/. proc_net_d_revalidate() always fails so the
first lookup by anyone with search permission ran d_invalidate() on
the dentry and detached every mount on it, locked mounts included
- libfs: Hold one mount reference for all pins instead of one per pin.
The pin count is what keeps the mount alive, so the per-pin reference
only cost a mntget() and a mntput() through
mntput_no_expire_slowpath() for every debugfs, tracefs, securityfs or
configfs file that comes and goes
- iov_iter: Return 0 from iov_iter_alignment() for an empty iterator of
any type
- watch_queue: Give info_id its own storage instead of overlaying it
with rcu_head
- filelock: Take an active superblock reference while waiting for a
delegation break. After a lazy umount closing the delegation holder
could shut down the superblock under the waiter whose final iput()
then ran shmem_evict_inode() on freed state
- fs: Skip the copy_file_range() write limit checks when there is no
data to copy
- bpf: Allow bpf_d_path() from fentry on filp_close_sync(). Since
close_range() became synchronous this cycle close(), close_range()
and the closes on exec and exit no longer go through filp_close().
fexit stays rejected since the file may be gone by then
- fs_pin: Dequeue the wait entry unconditionally in pin_kill(). A
spuriously woken waiter kept its on-stack entry queued, took that as
proof that the pin was alive and used the freed acct structure when
umount() of the accounting file raced acct(2)
- dcache: Don't fail __d_obtain_alias() for an inode without links and
aliases. The ESTALE check added this cycle broke open_by_handle_at()
and nfsd file handle decoding on NFS and FUSE where i_nlink is just
what the server last reported and the handle may well still be valid
- selftests/ovl: Fix the mountinfo expectations of the detached layer
test which has failed since it was added
* tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (60 commits)
fs: don't fail __d_obtain_alias() for unlinked inodes
ns: don't add init_ipc_ns and init_net without namespace support
aio: avoid request count overflow in ioctx_alloc()
selftests/ovl: fix detached layer mountinfo expectations
bpf: Allow bpf_d_path() from filp_close_sync()
fs: skip copy_file_range write limits when there is no data
minix: reject rmdir of a directory with a corrupted link count
fs_pin: do not trust the pin after a spurious wakeup in pin_kill()
ucount: read the parent ucounts before dropping the rlimit count
splice: retry tee() instead of returning 0 when it races
selftests/pidfd: test that fields beyond the struct size are not reported
pidfs: do not report fields that do not fit into the caller's struct
fs: let backing files inherit FMODE_NONOTIFY from the user file
splice: avoid stale f_pos writeback on error
backing-file: always end a queued write
filelock: keep superblock active through delegation wait
watch_queue: keep info_id separate from rcu_head
iomap: only follow dio alignment requirement if specified
iov_iter: fix NULL deref in iov_iter_alignment()
backing-file: enforce append-only and immutable backing inodes

proc: don't let an entry below /proc/<pid>/net be a mountpoint
proc_net_d_revalidate() always returns 0 so that a dentry below
/proc/<pid>/net is never reused after setns(). So lookup_fast() will end
up calling d_invalidate(), which unhashes the dentry and detaches every
mount on it, in every mount namespace; including locked mounts.
Then lookup_slow() creates a new dentry for the same entry. So a mount
on /proc/<pid>/net/dev succeeds and goes away with the first lookup of
the name by anybody with search permission on the directory. Given it's
0555 that's everyone's grandma. A mask on such a name hides nothing as
the repro below shows.
Treat those entries like I did fd/, fdinfo/ and map_files/ and refuse to
mount on them in the first place. It's nonsensical theater otherwise:
procnet net/dev stat
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
/*
* procnet: cover an entry of /proc/<pid>/ with a bind mount, lock the mount,
* then look the name up.
*
* The first task stays alive, <pid> is its pid. The "container" task has its
* own mount namespace. There it binds a mask on /proc/<pid>/<name>. It drops to
* uid 1000 and enters a new user namespace with a new mount namespace, so that
* the mask is locked. Then one task looks the name up:
*
* stat the container calls stat() on the name
* umount the container calls umount2(MNT_DETACH) on the name
* nobody a task with uid 65534 in the first namespaces calls stat()
*
* The container lists its mounts before and after (that does not look the
* name up) and then reads the name. MASK is fine. Anything else means that
* the lookup uncovered the entry.
*
* usage: procnet <name> stat|umount|nobody
* name "status" is the control, "net/dev" is a file below net, "net/stat" is
* a directory below net

Summary of series in this merge:
- "mm: make VMA flag semantics explicit, eliminate VM_SPECIAL"
(Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
Replace VM_SPECIAL with helpers describing mapping ownership and
behavior. Enforce the mmap flag rules and convert affected drivers,
removing ambiguous tests shared by driver mappings and ordinary memory.
- "support kselftest on nommu platform" (Hajime Tazaki):
Add opt-in mmap and mremap tests for NOMMU systems. Teach the runner to
avoid its fork-dependent timeout command and document the build and
runtime requirements.
- "mm/collapse: separate a collapse from its callers"
(Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)):
Separate huge-page collapse from caller policy. Replace khugepaged
identity checks with explicit permissions, and separate scanning from
collapse with the mmap_lock drop in one place.
- "mm: implement and use vma_has_anon_rmap(), silence KCSAN"
(Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
Provide a common helper for testing whether a VMA has anonymous reverse
mappings. Document the locking rules, annotate intentional concurrent
reads for KCSAN, and convert the core MM callers.
- "mm/sparse: remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT and further cleanups"
(David Hildenbrand (Arm)):
Remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT in favor of the early-section flag.
Simplify sparse memory initialization, section metadata handling and
related PFN validity checks.
- "sh: remove NUMA and SPARSEMEM support" (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Remove SuperH NUMA and SPARSEMEM support. The extra memory banks have
been unusable since the NO_BOOTMEM conversion, leaving only the code and
data overhead.
- "mm: Unify device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths"
(Muchun Song):
Unify the generic device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths and
shared tail-page handling. Remove the duplicate DAX machinery while
retaining the powerpc radix implementation.
- "kselftest: mm: fix some failure of split_huge_page_test" (Yeoreum Yun):
Fix huge-page split tests racing with khugepaged recollapse. Use pagemap
and page flags instead of VMA-boundary assumptions which fail when glibc
has already enabled THP.
- "memcg: move memcgid refcount to objcg to unpin dying memcgs"
(Bingfang Guo):
Let dying memcgs be freed while swapped-out shmem still holds their IDs.
Move ID references to reparentable objcgs, with the necessary swap
accounting and RCU lifetime changes.
- "mm/truncate: fix data loss when truncating straddling large folios"
(Zhang Yi):
Preserve out-of-range data when truncating straddling large folios. Fix
a lookup race and split-failure handling, and handle minimum folio orders
for the forthcoming ext4 iomap buffered I/O path.
- "mm/damon: introduce damos quota goal target metric complement flag"
(SJ Park):
Let DAMOS quota goals use a metric's complement, so utilization can also
express free-memory goals without adding separate metrics. Add the sysfs
interface, documentation and tests.
- "arm64/mm: Standardize printing for pgtable entries" (Anshuman Khandual):
Use the generic formatter for arm64 page-table entries, ready for future
wider entries. Move the safe-PTE-update check out of the header to avoid
an include cycle.
- "mm: kmsan: fix iounmap metadata teardown" (Dima Koziuk):
Fix KMSAN metadata leaks on iounmap and failed ioremap allocations. Free
backing pages before removing their mappings, and share the teardown with
partial-allocation cleanup.
- "mm/damon/core: preserve quota state when constructing schemes"
(Karl Mehltretter):
Preserve running DAMOS quota state while validating parameter updates.
Even rejected updates could reset accounting and exceed the quota window;
add tests for both accepted and rejected updates.
- "mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup" (Ye Liu):
Fix vmalloc_dump_obj() lookups for last-page addresses and allocations
spanning vmap zones. These allocations were being missed in diagnostic
output.
- "mm: various (urgent?) fixes" (David Hildenbrand (Arm)):
Fix mmap charge leaks and hugetlb use-after-free, wrong-address
unmapping, stuck locks and endless faults. Also preserve reservations on
failed mremap and handle stale userfaultfd bits.
- "maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode" (Dimitris Charisis):
Fix pointer and metadata confusion during RCU destruction of
maple_range_64 nodes, avoiding double frees and invalid accesses. Add a
regression test; no in-tree user currently uses this combination.
- "mm: fix hugetlb NR_HUGETLB accounting on folio migration" (Hongfu Li):
Fix hugetlb migration and preallocation accounting so /proc/vmstat
retains the correct count and memory.numa_stat follows the folio to its
new node.
- "mm/damon: fix a minor bug, clean code, and add a test" (SJ Park):
Fix 32-bit DAMON age overflow which made old regions look young. Share
hugetlb folio acquisition code and add a regression test for the
previously fixed last-region skipping bug.
- "mm/damon/core: cleanup code, reduce stack usage, and add kunit"
(SJ Park):
Reduce kdamond stack usage and remove unused enums. Add deterministic
PSI quota-goal tests which do not depend on the machine's current memory
pressure.
- "mm/damon: fix the temporal goal tuner's size quota conversion"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Bound the temporal tuner's quota conversion to prevent overflow and zero
effective quotas, which could stop schemes making progress. Add boundary
tests.
- "Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_alloc_coherent" (Baoquan He):
Remove redundant GFP_DMA flags from coherent DMA allocation calls. The
DMA API already selects the zone from device limits and ignores the
caller's flag.
- "kselftest: mm: fix intermittent failure khugepaged test" (Yeoreum Yun):
Propagate child-process failures in the khugepaged tests and prevent
background collapse from racing their checks. This removes false passes
and intermittent failures.
- "MAINTAINERS: cover all hugetlb headers under HUGETLB SUBSYSTEM"
(Enze Li):
Cover all hugetlb headers in MAINTAINERS so get_maintainer.pl finds the
right maintainers. Also label the closing hugetlb_cgroup.h include
guard.
Summary of the 65 singletons in this merge:
The singletons include a few worthwhile performance fixes. Avoiding
unnecessary reverse-map tree updates gave a reported 15.9% improvement
in UnixBench's execl test on a 192-core x86 system. A reclaim retry fix
stops defrag_mode from spinning under memory.low protection; a reported
file-creation stress test ran 5.7 times faster, with far less memory
pressure. Narrower hugetlb invalidations also spare KVM guests needless
refaults: the reported Redis-in-VM P99 QPS penalty while punching holes
fell from 7.09% to 1.45%.
Several fixes prevent lost data or corrupted memory. Lazyfree huge-page
races with mremap()/munmap() could lose data or access freed memory, and
MADV_COLD could lose a concurrent write's dirty bit. Another fix
prevents stale migration entries from outliving large folios. On
filesystems with blocks smaller than a page, extending a file by 4 GiB
or more could expose bytes written past the old EOF through mmap instead
of zeroes. That is fixed, along with use-after-free races in
PAGEMAP_SCAN during process exit and in memory-cgroup accounting on
PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Other fixes stop UFFDIO_MOVE spinning forever on pinned large folios,
which could wedge other memory operations, and stop mremap() leaking
commit charges until allocations fail under strict overcommit. A further
fix keeps userfaultfd tracking intact on neighboring mappings. NUMA
binding no longer prevents long-term pins when the chosen node has only
movable memory, fixing QEMU/VFIO startup and io_uring buffer
registration failures. MGLRU also gets a fix for early-boot crashes with
memory cgroups disabled at boot, notably in small crash kernels.

- "support kselftest on nommu platform" (Hajime Tazaki):
Add opt-in mmap and mremap tests for NOMMU systems. Teach the runner
to avoid its fork-dependent timeout command and document the build
and runtime requirements.
- "mm/collapse: separate a collapse from its callers" (Kiryl
Shutsemau):
Separate huge-page collapse from caller policy. Replace khugepaged
identity checks with explicit permissions, and separate scanning from
collapse with the mmap_lock drop in one place.
- "mm: implement and use vma_has_anon_rmap(), silence KCSAN" (Lorenzo
Stoakes):
Provide a common helper for testing whether a VMA has anonymous
reverse mappings. Document the locking rules, annotate intentional
concurrent reads for KCSAN, and convert the core MM callers.
- "mm/sparse: remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT and further cleanups"
(David Hildenbrand):
Remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT in favor of the early-section flag.
Simplify sparse memory initialization, section metadata handling and
related PFN validity checks.
- "sh: remove NUMA and SPARSEMEM support" (Mike Rapoport):
Remove SuperH NUMA and SPARSEMEM support. The extra memory banks have
been unusable since the NO_BOOTMEM conversion, leaving only the code
and data overhead.
- "mm: Unify device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths" (Muchun
Song):
Unify the generic device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths and
shared tail-page handling. Remove the duplicate DAX machinery while
retaining the powerpc radix implementation.
- "kselftest: mm: fix some failure of split_huge_page_test" (Yeoreum
Yun):
Fix huge-page split tests racing with khugepaged recollapse. Use
pagemap and page flags instead of VMA-boundary assumptions which fail
when glibc has already enabled THP.
- "memcg: move memcgid refcount to objcg to unpin dying memcgs"
(Bingfang Guo):
Let dying memcgs be freed while swapped-out shmem still holds their
IDs. Move ID references to reparentable objcgs, with the necessary
swap accounting and RCU lifetime changes.
- "mm/truncate: fix data loss when truncating straddling large folios"
(Zhang Yi):
Preserve out-of-range data when truncating straddling large folios.
Fix a lookup race and split-failure handling, and handle minimum
folio orders for the forthcoming ext4 iomap buffered I/O path.
- "mm/damon: introduce damos quota goal target metric complement flag"
(SJ Park):
Let DAMOS quota goals use a metric's complement, so utilization can
also express free-memory goals without adding separate metrics. Add
the sysfs interface, documentation and tests.
- "arm64/mm: Standardize printing for pgtable entries" (Anshuman
Khandual):
Use the generic formatter for arm64 page-table entries, ready for
future wider entries. Move the safe-PTE-update check out of the
header to avoid an include cycle.
- "mm: kmsan: fix iounmap metadata teardown" (Dima Koziuk):
Fix KMSAN metadata leaks on iounmap and failed ioremap allocations.
Free backing pages before removing their mappings, and share the
teardown with partial-allocation cleanup.
- "mm/damon/core: preserve quota state when constructing schemes" (Karl
Mehltretter):
Preserve running DAMOS quota state while validating parameter
updates. Even rejected updates could reset accounting and exceed the
quota window; add tests for both accepted and rejected updates.
- "mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup" (Ye Liu):
Fix vmalloc_dump_obj() lookups for last-page addresses and
allocations spanning vmap zones. These allocations were being missed
in diagnostic output.
- "mm: various (urgent?) fixes" (David Hildenbrand):
Fix mmap charge leaks and hugetlb use-after-free, wrong-address
unmapping, stuck locks and endless faults. Also preserve reservations
on failed mremap and handle stale userfaultfd bits.
- "maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode" (Dimitris
Charisis):
Fix pointer and metadata confusion during RCU destruction of
maple_range_64 nodes, avoiding double frees and invalid accesses. Add
a regression test; no in-tree user currently uses this combination.
- "mm: fix hugetlb NR_HUGETLB accounting on folio migration" (Hongfu
Li):
Fix hugetlb migration and preallocation accounting so /proc/vmstat
retains the correct count and memory.numa_stat follows the folio to
its new node.
- "mm/damon: fix a minor bug, clean code, and add a test" (SJ Park):
Fix 32-bit DAMON age overflow which made old regions look young.
Share hugetlb folio acquisition code and add a regression test for
the previously fixed last-region skipping bug.
- "mm/damon/core: cleanup code, reduce stack usage, and add kunit" (SJ
Park):
Reduce kdamond stack usage and remove unused enums. Add deterministic
PSI quota-goal tests which do not depend on the machine's current
memory pressure.
- "mm/damon: fix the temporal goal tuner's size quota conversion"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Bound the temporal tuner's quota conversion to prevent overflow and
zero effective quotas, which could stop schemes making progress. Add
boundary tests.
- "Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_alloc_coherent" (Baoquan He):
Remove redundant GFP_DMA flags from coherent DMA allocation calls.
The DMA API already selects the zone from device limits and ignores
the caller's flag.
- "kselftest: mm: fix intermittent failure khugepaged test" (Yeoreum
Yun):
Propagate child-process failures in the khugepaged tests and prevent
background collapse from racing their checks. This removes false
passes and intermittent failures.
- "MAINTAINERS: cover all hugetlb headers under HUGETLB SUBSYSTEM"
(Enze Li):
Cover all hugetlb headers in MAINTAINERS so get_maintainer.pl finds
the right maintainers. Also label the closing hugetlb_cgroup.h
include guard.
Summary of the 65 singletons in this merge:
The singletons include a few worthwhile performance fixes. Avoiding
unnecessary reverse-map tree updates gave a reported 15.9% improvement
in UnixBench's execl test on a 192-core x86 system. A reclaim retry
fix stops defrag_mode from spinning under memory.low protection; a
reported file-creation stress test ran 5.7 times faster, with far less
memory pressure. Narrower hugetlb invalidations also spare KVM guests
needless refaults: the reported Redis-in-VM P99 QPS penalty while
punching holes fell from 7.09% to 1.45%.
Several fixes prevent lost data or corrupted memory. Lazyfree
huge-page races with mremap()/munmap() could lose data or access freed
memory, and MADV_COLD could lose a concurrent write's dirty bit.
Another fix prevents stale migration entries from outliving large
folios. On filesystems with blocks smaller than a page, extending a
file by 4 GiB or more could expose bytes written past the old EOF
through mmap instead of zeroes. That is fixed, along with
use-after-free races in PAGEMAP_SCAN during process exit and in
memory-cgroup accounting on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Other fixes stop UFFDIO_MOVE spinning forever on pinned large folios,
which could wedge other memory operations, and stop mremap() leaking
commit charges until allocations fail under strict overcommit. A
further fix keeps userfaultfd tracking intact on neighboring mappings.
NUMA binding no longer prevents long-term pins when the chosen node
has only movable memory, fixing QEMU/VFIO startup and io_uring buffer
registration failures. MGLRU also gets a fix for early-boot crashes
with memory cgroups disabled at boot, notably in small crash kernels.

fs/proc/task_mmu: pin mm_users in do_pagemap_scan()
The PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl takes mmap_read_lock() on an mm obtained from
/proc/<pid>/pagemap without holding a reference to mm_users.
proc_mem_open() deliberately grabs only mm_count, so a consumer that
touches the address space has to call mmget_not_zero() first. Every other
consumer in this file does -- m_start(), do_procmap_query(),
show_smaps_rollup() and pagemap_read() -- but do_pagemap_scan() does not.
Without that reference the target can reach exit_mmap() concurrently, and
exit_mmap() calls unmap_vmas() while holding mmap_lock only for reading,
which does not exclude the scanner. For ordinary VMAs this is harmless,
as free_pgtables() and remove_vma() run afterwards under mmap_write_lock.
A shared hugetlb VMA is different: __hugetlb_zap_end() frees the VMA's
hugetlb_vma_lock inside the read-locked phase.
walk_hugetlb_range() can therefore load vma->vm_private_data, have the
lock freed underneath it, and then down_read() a freed rw_semaphore. The
load happens before the freeing side clears the pointer, so this is a
use-after-free and not a NULL dereference. Any unprivileged user can
reach it with no huge pages configured, as hugetlb_reserve_pages()
allocates the lock before the VM_NORESERVE early return.
Pin mm_users across the scan, the way the other consumers do. mmput()
from the exiting task can then no longer reach exit_mmap() while a walk is
in progress.

mm: rename is_vm_hugetlb_page() to vma_is_hugetlb()
The is_vm_hugetlb_page() predicate is badly named - the mapping can span more than a page and it is inconsistent with other VMA predicates that typically are prefixed by vma_. Rename to vma_is_hugetlb() for consistency, and while we're here update some VM_BUG_ON_VMA() to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_VMA() as to avoid unnecessary oopses. No functional change intended.

fs/proc/page: clarify comment in get_max_dump_pfn()
pfn_to_online_page() will only succeed on some PFNs within the same section, not necessarily all. Let's make that clearer. While at it, rephrase it to "Allow inspection of".

Summary of patch series in this merge, ordered by descending size:
- "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)):
Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported mTHP
orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan completion
deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork and remap;
verify that the contents survive.
Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too.
- "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing"
(Sarthak Sharma):
Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the benchmark
into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest, and move shared
helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job instead of mixing timing
measurements with correctness checks.
Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly.
- "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun Song):
Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the backing
metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling of device
memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime requirements.
- "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB" (Muchun
Song):
Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with section-based
vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large huge pages need fewer
backing pages, while keeping initialization, teardown and the various
hugepage configurations straight.
- "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split helpers"
(Kairui Song):
Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather
different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into
separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix error
paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen.
Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting.
- "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):
Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional code
around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and lets callers
depend on one locking model rather than carrying both cases along.
- "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):
Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long since
been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling around a
separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.
- "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):
Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible, rather than
holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the contention fallback
and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces latency when another
thread is busy changing its mappings.
- "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):
Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes, making
them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend the
interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be used
rather than merely collected.
- "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi Yan):
Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say whether
private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users, including erofs,
f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and flags. There are a few
special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb, which need explicit care.
- "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out the
page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble over freed
tables while mappings are being torn down.
- "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):
Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so reclaim
can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the per-memcg
tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist its own lockdep
class to avoid spurious dependency reports.
- "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):
Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table interfaces
and callers now that these checks no longer serve a useful purpose.
- "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):
Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're actually
accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their neighboring state
from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless cacheline traffic.
- "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region" (Donggeun
Yoo):
Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region. Charge
only the part left after filtering, not the original region, and add KUnit
coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into the quota and make
schemes run more slowly than requested.
- "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ Park):
Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including validation and
the results reported to userspace. This is mostly about catching
regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before they become harder to
diagnose.
- "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg API"
(Tal Zussman):
Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is mechanical,
but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler catch accidental
writes.
- "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):
Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's virtual-address
backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with the probe
infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there too.
- "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):
Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant
accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow without
changing the intended reclaim policy.
- "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush() interface
across architectures and execmem. Make the requested mapping changes and
the callers' expectations agree, rather than relying on subtly different
architecture behavior.
- "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):
Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes. They
are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only makes reclaim
rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and let zswap keep
these folios off the LRU altogether.
- "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):
Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path helpers
pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin behavior the
same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.
- "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):
Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant work
when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every descriptor
can get expensive.
- "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):
Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier instead
of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling correct
while saving per-entry metadata.
- "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory" (Krishna
Iyer):
Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant access
checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall through a hole in
the monitoring machinery.
- "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport
(Microsoft)):
Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's
ownership and permission transitions more predictable.
- "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):
Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to the
supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface which we no
longer need.
- "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory Price):
Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference to
the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the
ownership rules less obscure.
- "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry Song
(Xiaomi)):
Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold and
hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list handling
so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction candidates.
- "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):
Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation, not an
outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through shmem and the
generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting, and add tests for the
resulting SIGBUS behavior.
- "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve usage" (Ye
Liu):
Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and make
the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less frustrating when
tracking down who is holding on to pages.
- "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ Park):
Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers can
share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.
- "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core, interfaces
and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler code and fewer
opportunities for confusion.
- "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in docs" (SJ
Park):
Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and bring the
documentation into line with the code. These changes should make the newer
facilities easier to understand and maintain.
- "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range of
folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new
interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the desired
hugepage sizes.
- "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and
reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong rather
than to test harness bookkeeping.
- "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes Weiner):
Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap space is
available. There is little point paying for an expensive split when
reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out.
- "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu):
Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the shadow
entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does not quietly
consume more metadata than it should.
- "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu):
Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore global
settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it found it,
particularly when a whole suite follows behind.
- "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman):
Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio and
swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the swap
paths a little more consistent.
- "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price):
Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce duplicated
logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while making it clearer
how zones are selected.
- "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao):
Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock once
for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the lock-hold
bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug kernels.
- "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under Python
safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and documentation. Nothing
especially glamorous, but these are worth doing.
- "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives
schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring probes
observed.
- "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim" (Ridong
Chen):
Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd. The
protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these paths,
leaving protected memory more exposed than requested.
- "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park):
Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and expand
test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes in this
batch.
- "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng Wang):
Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD and
PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and remove
the redundant flag plumbing.
- "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during demotion"
(Longlong Xia):
Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting huge
pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as one huge
page turns into several smaller ones.
- "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params
validation" (Jason Angelov):
Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe parameters.
These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in ordinary monitoring
tests.
- "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms" (SJ
Park):
Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the sysfs
refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and control
behavior were real.
- "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang):
Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable lookups and
work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making those frequent
operations cheaper.
- "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato):
Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers. There
is no need to maintain another local version of the same mechanism.
- "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu):
Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull duplicated
vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional changes are
intended.
- "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity" (Ridong
Chen):
Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read and
verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing unnecessary twists
in the control flow.
- "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury Norov):
Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage where the
lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks so such mistakes
are harder to slip through unnoticed.
- "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi):
Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work and
tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which were better
fixed than left lying around.
- "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman):
Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete
wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is
intended to remain the same.
- "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park):
Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots which have
nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely used swap
devices.
- "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao):
Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags, rather
than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make tracing a good
deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings.
- "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao):
Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be bad.
Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU chasing an
entry that cannot be used.
- "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):
Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten its
associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result should be
more robust pageblock isolation.
- "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):
Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the
information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace event
needs it.
- "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):
Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the
implementations back into agreement.
- "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio" (Hongfu
Li):
Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between nodes or
are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can retain stale
charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.
- "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up some
kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right
interface.
- "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup" (Tianyi
Chen):
Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret setup to
the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures caused by the
test harness itself.
- "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core layer"
(SJ Park):
Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making each
user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions consistent
across callers.
- "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto tuning"
(Asier Gutierrez):
Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use
monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.
- "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default" (Breno
Leitao):
Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third confirming
scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The extra scan helps
suppress transient false positives in noisy debug builds.
- "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):
Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are reported and
cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to guess how far the
operation got.
- "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for damon_call()" (SJ
Park):
Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an invalid
state.
- "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):
Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another way to
select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the filter
interfaces and tests.
- "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):
Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API
surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.
- "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):
Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct page.
The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the normal-folio
checks and handle those mappings properly.
- "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):
Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for the
next person to stumble over.
- "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents" (Liew Rui
Yan):
Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a missing
sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error could make a
monitoring-start request appear successful when it wasn't.
- "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui Yan):
Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation and
straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what users
should expect from that counter.
- "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson Felipe
Pereira):
Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting
child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and avoid
another test assumption which breaks under constrained scheduling.
- "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):
Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment. Keep
the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.
- "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails"
(Ackerley Tng):
Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure
failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale accounting
or resources behind.
- "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark" (Ridong
Chen):
Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor doesn't
overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open measurements
independent as intended.
- "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory Price):
Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle them.
Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has ordinary
system-memory backing.
- "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):
Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There is
no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

- "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):
Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional
code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and
lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both
cases along.
- "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):
Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long
since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling
around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.
- "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):
Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible,
rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the
contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces
latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings.
- "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):
Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes,
making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend
the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be
used rather than merely collected.
- "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi
Yan):
Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say
whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users,
including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and
flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb,
which need explicit care.
- "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes):
Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out
the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble
over freed tables while mappings are being torn down.
- "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):
Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so
reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the
per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist
its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports.
- "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):
Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table
interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a
useful purpose.
- "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):
Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're
actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their
neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless
cacheline traffic.
- "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region.
Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region,
and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into
the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested.
- "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ
Park):
Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including
validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly
about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before
they become harder to diagnose.
- "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg
API" (Tal Zussman):
Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is
mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler
catch accidental writes.
- "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):
Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's
virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with
the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there
too.
- "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):
Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant
accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow
without changing the intended reclaim policy.
- "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush()
interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested
mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than
relying on subtly different architecture behavior.
- "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):
Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes.
They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only
makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and
let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether.
- "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):
Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path
helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin
behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.
- "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):
Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant
work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every
descriptor can get expensive.
- "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):
Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier
instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling
correct while saving per-entry metadata.
- "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory"
(Krishna Iyer):
Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant
access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall
through a hole in the monitoring machinery.
- "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport):
Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's
ownership and permission transitions more predictable.
- "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):
Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to
the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface
which we no longer need.
- "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory
Price):
Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference
to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the
ownership rules less obscure.
- "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry
Song):
Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold
and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list
handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction
candidates.
- "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):
Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation,
not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through
shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting,
and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior.
- "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve
usage" (Ye Liu):
Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and
make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less
frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages.
- "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ
Park):
Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers
can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.
- "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):
Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core,
interfaces and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler
code and fewer opportunities for confusion.
- "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in
docs" (SJ Park):
Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and
bring the documentation into line with the code. These changes should
make the newer facilities easier to understand and maintain.
- "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range
of folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new
interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the
desired hugepage sizes.
- "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):
Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and
reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong
rather than to test harness bookkeeping.
- "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes
Weiner):
Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap
space is available. There is little point paying for an expensive
split when reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out.
- "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu):
Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the
shadow entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does
not quietly consume more metadata than it should.
- "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu):
Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore
global settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it
found it, particularly when a whole suite follows behind.
- "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman):
Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio
and swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the
swap paths a little more consistent.
- "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price):
Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce
duplicated logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while
making it clearer how zones are selected.
- "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao):
Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock
once for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the
lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug
kernels.
- "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu):
Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under
Python safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and
documentation. Nothing especially glamorous, but these are worth
doing.
- "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives
schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring
probes observed.
- "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim"
(Ridong Chen):
Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd.
The protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these
paths, leaving protected memory more exposed than requested.
- "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park):
Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and
expand test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes
in this batch.
- "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng
Wang):
Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD
and PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and
remove the redundant flag plumbing.
- "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during
demotion" (Longlong Xia):
Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting
huge pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as
one huge page turns into several smaller ones.
- "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params
validation" (Jason Angelov):
Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe
parameters. These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in
ordinary monitoring tests.
- "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms"
(SJ Park):
Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the
sysfs refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and
control behavior were real.
- "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang):
Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable
lookups and work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making
those frequent operations cheaper.
- "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato):
Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers.
There is no need to maintain another local version of the same
mechanism.
- "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu):
Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull
duplicated vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional
changes are intended.
- "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity"
(Ridong Chen):
Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read
and verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing
unnecessary twists in the control flow.
- "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury
Norov):
Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage
where the lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks
so such mistakes are harder to slip through unnoticed.
- "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi):
Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work
and tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which
were better fixed than left lying around.
- "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman):
Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete
wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is
intended to remain the same.
- "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park):
Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots
which have nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely
used swap devices.
- "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao):
Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags,
rather than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make
tracing a good deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings.
- "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao):
Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be
bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU
chasing an entry that cannot be used.
- "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):
Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten
its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result
should be more robust pageblock isolation.
- "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):
Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the
information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace
event needs it.
- "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):
Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the
implementations back into agreement.
- "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio"
(Hongfu Li):
Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between
nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can
retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.
- "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify
kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport):
Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up
some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right
interface.
- "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup"
(Tianyi Chen):
Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret
setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures
caused by the test harness itself.
- "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core
layer" (SJ Park):
Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making
each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions
consistent across callers.
- "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto
tuning" (Asier Gutierrez):
Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use
monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.
- "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default"
(Breno Leitao):
Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third
confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The
extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug
builds.
- "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):
Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are
reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to
guess how far the operation got.
- "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for
damon_call()" (SJ Park):
Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an
invalid state.
- "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):
Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another
way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the
filter interfaces and tests.
- "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):
Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API
surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.
- "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):
Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct
page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the
normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly.
- "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):
Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for
the next person to stumble over.
- "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents"
(Liew Rui Yan):
Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a
missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error
could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it
wasn't.
- "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui
Yan):
Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation
and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what
users should expect from that counter.
- "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson
Felipe Pereira):
Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting
child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and
avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained
scheduling.
- "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):
Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment.
Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.
- "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb()
fails" (Ackerley Tng):
Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure
failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale
accounting or resources behind.
- "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark"
(Ridong Chen):
Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor
doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open
measurements independent as intended.
- "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory
Price):
Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle
them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has
ordinary system-memory backing.
- "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):
Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There
is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

proc/kcore: advance the vmalloc retry by the last copy, not the total
A readv() or preadv() of /proc/kcore fails with EFAULT, although every
byte of the destination is writable, when the page of a later iovec is
not present at the moment the copy of a KCORE_VMALLOC chunk is retried:
swapped out, migrated by compaction or NUMA balancing, write-protected
by KSM, or unmapped by MADV_DONTNEED from another thread. Only root can
read /proc/kcore, and the read must use more than one iovec. On an
x86_64 defconfig kernel (v7.3-rc7) a preadv() of one vmalloc page into
two 2 KiB iovecs on separate pages, with a second thread repeatedly
unmapping the second page, failed 77701 of 200000 calls with EFAULT;
with the fix all 200000 succeed. Affected since v6.4.
read_kcore_iter() copies a KCORE_VMALLOC chunk with vread_iter(), which
writes to the user buffer with page faults disabled and stops at the
first iovec whose page is absent, after the earlier iovecs were
written; the loop then faults the rest of the buffer in and calls
vread_iter() again for what is left. It keeps the running total in
`read` and advances the source address and the remaining length by that
total:
read += vread_iter(iter, src, left);
if (read == tsz)
break;
src += read;
left -= read;
In the reproducer the first call copies the 2048 bytes of the first
iovec and stops at the second: read is 2048, and src and left move by
2048, which is right. The page that fault_in_iov_iter_writeable() then
faults in is unmapped again before the second call, which copies 0
bytes: read is still 2048, but src moves by another 2048 to the end of
the chunk and left drops to 0. The third call has nothing to copy, src
moves by 2048 once more, left wraps around, and
fault_in_iov_iter_writeable() fails on that length, so the read returns
-EFAULT. When both short copies are non-zero (three or more iovecs) the
extra call also copies bytes from the wrong offset of the page into the
buffer before the failure. A single iovec is not affected: its nofault
copy is all or nothing, so a short copy is always empty and the advance
by the total is still the advance by the last copy.
Keep the return value of each vread_iter() call and advance src and
left by that; `read` stays the running total compared with tsz.
Found while formally verifying vread_iter() against the kernel binary.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Fixes:
- aio: a keyed poll completion on an epoll instance could recurse
into the same epoll waitqueue lock when the result eventfd is
watched by that very instance. An unprivileged process could make a
CPU spin on the recursive lock. eventfd-backed poll completions are
always deferred now.
- fsnotify_inoderemove() is only called once the inode is really
dead, no nlink and no aliases, and open_by_handle_at() can't add an
alias to a dead inode anymore. The race could crash fsnotify or
lose inode mark notifications.
- devtmpfs: the conversion of the public instance to ->get_tree()
broke reconfiguring the shared superblock's options on later mounts
which made the boot time defaults permanent. A reconfigure context
is kept in fc->fs_private so the parse ops can forward options to
the underlying filesystem.
- ufs truncated the 64-bit directory size to an unsigned int in
ufs_last_byte(). A crafted image with a 4 GiB directory produced an
out-of-folio read in ufs_find_entry() and, with
CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE, a write into an adjacent page.
- devpts rejects max=0 instead of silently lifting the per-instance
pty limit. The value wrapped into ida_alloc_max() and became
unlimited.
- fs_pin publishes pins with the rcu list helpers so the kill paths
reading the lists under rcu see the initialization.
- dentry_kill() reports a Tasks-RCU quiescent state. Its
cond_resched() is the only reschedule point on the dentry teardown
path and cond_resched() isn't a quiescent state for Tasks-RCU, so
Meta kept seeing rcu_tasks stalls in btrfs subvolume deletion.
- writeback sizes foreign flushes by the target wb's dirty pages
instead of the memcg-wide count which over or undersized a single
bdi flush.
- nfsd READ emitted two fsnotify access events on the iterator path
since vfs_iocb_iter_read() already sends one. A READ on a krb5i or
krb5p mount showed up twice in inotify.
- pipe and splice pass a poll key when waking readers and writers so
epoll, poll() and select() waiters only wake for the event they
asked for.
- the iso8859-14 Unicode to charset tables had page01 duplicated as
page1e so 29 code points mapped to the wrong bytes and 22 that
aren't in the charset were accepted.
- orangefs doesn't wait for an unmount service operation that never
returns on system shutdown and uses ssize_t for strscpy() errors.
- __register_chrdev() checks the kobject_set_name() return value.
- selftest fixes: the openat2 tests hardcoded O_LARGEFILE to 0x8000
which is O_NOFOLLOW on powerpc, resolve_test makes /tmp a
mountpoint so RESOLVE_NO_XDEV has a boundary to trip over,
file_stressor moves into its own directory with a 30 minute
timeout, the kernfs listxattr test skips when SELinux exposes
security.selinux, the namespaces active reference tests wait for
the thread via a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd since pthread_join() returns
before exit_nsproxy_namespaces(), the idmapped_tmpfile test chowns
its directory into the mapped range, the clone3 CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND
test adds CLONE_VM so it fails for the intended reason, the pidfd
PPID error message prints the values it compares and fscontext_ns
gets a .gitignore.
Cleanups:
- vmcore prints the release of the crashed kernel from the VMCOREINFO
note so a kdump that dies before the dump lands still says which
kernel it was for.
- initramfs allocates hardlink hash entries with the validated cpio
name length instead of PATH_MAX, which put every entry in
kmalloc-8k.
- the unused dax_layout_busy_page() is removed,
dax_layout_busy_page_range() becomes static and dax_folio_init()
drops a redundant list initialization.
- vfs_empty_path() is removed, it has had no callers since
getname_maybe_null().
- comment and documentation fixes in aio, bpf_fs_kfuncs,
fs-writeback, inode, read_write, squashfs and the vfs.rst copy of
struct file_system_type"

proc/task_mmu: read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock
proc/pid/smaps_rollup can be read using the combination of RCU and VMA
read locks, similar to proc/pid/{maps|smaps|numa_maps}. RCU is required
to safely traverse the VMA tree and VMA lock stabilizes the VMA being
processed and the pagetable walk. Note that we have to keep the logic to
drop mmap_lock on contention because even when using per-VMA locks we
might have to fall back to holding the mmap_lock.
Running Paul's contention benchmark [1] shows considerable improvement
both in median and in the worst case latencies:

Remove now unused lock_ctx_mm() and move unlock_ctx_vma() next to
unlock_ctx_mm() as they are logically related.
Remove a long comment about 4 cases that we handle when dropping the mmap
lock in the middle of VMA walk due to contention. The first 3 cases
explained there are handled naturally and only case 4 needs to be handled
in a special way, which is done in smap_gather_stats() by gathering stats
from the portion of the VMA that has not yet been processed. For
posterity, moving this comment here:
After dropping the lock, there are four cases to consider. See the
following example for explanation.
+------+------+-----------+
| VMA1 | VMA2 | VMA3 |
+------+------+-----------+
| | | |
4k 8k 16k 400k
Suppose we drop the lock after reading VMA2 due to
contention, then we get:
last_vma_end = 16k
1) VMA2 is freed, but VMA3 exists:
vma_next(vmi) will return VMA3.
In this case, just continue from VMA3.
2) VMA2 still exists:
vma_next(vmi) will return VMA3.
In this case, just continue from VMA3.
3) No more VMAs can be found:
vma_next(vmi) will return NULL.
No more things to do, just break.
4) (last_vma_end - 1) is the middle of a vma (VMA'):
vma_next(vmi) will return VMA' whose range
contains last_vma_end.
Iterate VMA' from last_vma_end.

proc/task_mmu: change proc_get_vma() to stop returning gate VMA at the end
proc_get_vma() returning gate VMA at the end is desirable for the its current m_start/m_next callers, as they need to report a gate VMA at the end of the address space. This behavior is very specific to these callers and makes proc_get_vma() hard to use for other purposes. Move this usage-specific behavior into the callers themselves so that proc_get_vma() returns either a valid VMA, an error or a NULL when no more VMAs are available. This makes it more generic, simpler and usable in the later patches.

proc/task_mmu: remove special-casing of smap_gather_stats() start parameter
smap_gather_stats() interprets its start parameter to mean vma->vm_start when it's set to 0. Eliminate this special interpretation and provide two separate functions for a partial and complete VMA walk. Since smap_gather_stats() operates within a single VMA, we can replace walk_page_vma()/walk_page_range() calls with walk_page_range_vma() which is simpler and also can be called while holding per-VMA lock. No functional change intended.

proc/task_mmu: remove unnecessary helpers
Patch series "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock", v5.
proc/pid/smaps_rollup can be read using the combination of RCU and VMA
read locks, similar to proc/pid/{maps|smaps|numa_maps}. RCU is required
to safely traverse the VMA tree and VMA lock stabilizes the VMA being

drop mmap_lock on contention because even when using per-VMA locks we
might have to fall back to holding the mmap_lock.
The first 5 patches are cleanups making later change simpler. The main
change is in patch 6. Patch 7 extends existing proc-maps-race tearing
test to verify smaps_rollup content.
This patch (of 7):
When per-vma locks were behind a config option, a number of helper
functions were needed to simplify the locking code. Now that these locks
are universally available, we can do a little cleanup. Remove
lock_vma_range(), unlock_vma_range(), query_vma_setup(),
query_vma_teardown() helpers.
No functional change intended.

Use a folio for the page cache page the s390 fault handler reads the old kernel's memory into. This removes four compound_head() calls and one of the last callers of find_or_create_page(). The vmcore mapping only has order-0 folios, so the logic is unchanged. Compile tested for s390.

proc/task_mmu: handle special PMDs in clear_refs and pagemap
mshv_vtl_low can install a special PMD from a PFN supplied in the mmap file
offset. That PFN need not have a memmap entry. Reading /proc/PID/pagemap
or writing /proc/PID/clear_refs for such a mapping oopses the kernel.
With a test driver mapping the PFN at the 1 TiB mark:
echo 1 > /proc/self/clear_refs
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffb5b80000008

clear_refs_pte_range() passes the PMD to pmd_folio(), while
pagemap_pmd_range_thp() uses pmd_page() followed by page_folio().
Both paths assume the PFN has a struct page and dereference bad address.
Use vm_normal_folio_pmd() and vm_normal_page_pmd() so clear_refs skips
folio operations and pagemap skips folio-derived flags for special PMDs.
This matches the PTE paths, which already use vm_normal_folio() and
vm_normal_page().
User-facing notes:
- Pagemap still reports PM_PRESENT and the PFN to a CAP_SYS_ADMIN reader.
- For a special PMD backed by a valid memmap entry and for the huge
zero PMD, PM_FILE changes from set to clear.
- PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE is already clear in both cases.
- The output for an anonymous THP is unchanged.
Tested in QEMU with the test driver on broken and fixed kernels. Both proc
operations oops before the fix and return 0 after it.
This is technically reachable via mshv_vtl_low, so I tagged it stable.

mm/page-flags: check page/folio->private instead of PG_private
After the changes of the prior commits, page/folio->private != NULL is now equivalent to checking PG_private. Stop checking PG_private on pages and folios and use page/folio->private instead, except swapcache and hugetlb folios, because the former uses a field (swp_entry_t swap) overlapping with ->private and the latter sets its flags in ->private. Exclude swapcache and hugetlb when the code is meant to check PG_private only. PG_swapcache and folio->swap.val cannot be set/clear as a whole, so excluding swapcache with folio_test_swapcache() is not reliable. Instead, use folio_test_swapbacked(), since PG_swapbacked is stable when a folio is added to/removed from swapcache. Add a helper, folio_has_attached_private(), for this check. folio_test_private() and PagePrivate() now read folio/page->private plainly instead of an atomic read of PG_private bit, so KCSAN complains about possible data races. Annotate them with data_race(). folio_expected_ref_count() can be called without the folio lock, so annotate folio->mapping with data_race() while at it. folio_set/clear_private() and Set/ClearPagePrivate() become no-ops.

proc: report SIGEV_NONE in /proc/pid/timers if target task has died
When a posix timer is created targeting a specific thread (using
SIGEV_SIGNAL | SIGEV_THREAD_ID), it takes a reference to the target struct
pid in timer->it_pid. If the target thread subsequently terminates, its
numeric tid is freed and can be recycled for an unrelated task. However,
the timer holds its reference to the original struct pid.
show_timer() in /proc/[pid]/timers previously called pid_nr_ns() directly
on timer->it_pid without checking whether any task remained attached to
that struct pid. As a result:
1. It reported the stale tid, which could mistakenly refer to a recycled
pid.
2. In the kernel, expired signals for dead target threads are dropped by
posixtimer_send_sigqueue() because posixtimer_get_target() returns
NULL, so the timer functionally acts as SIGEV_NONE.
3. Checkpoint/restore tools (CRIU) parsing /proc/[pid]/timers would try
to restore a timer with SIGEV_SIGNAL | SIGEV_THREAD_ID targeting a
non-existent or unrelated thread.
Check pid_has_task(timer->it_pid, timer->it_pid_type) in show_timer(). If
the target task has died, override notify to SIGEV_NONE and report PID 0
(e.g., 'notify: none/pid.0').

mm: make per-VMA locks available universally
Patch series "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups", v7.
tl;dr: Make per-VMA locks available in all configs. Simplify some of the
per-VMA lock users now that they can rely on them being always available.
Binder and networking folks: Your code is the target of the cleanups. I'm
cc'ing you now on v2 because there's emerging consensus on the mm side
that the approach here is sane. I'm not quite sure how this pile would
get merged, but ack/review tags would be appreciated if this looks good to
you.
Longer version:
When working on some x86 shadow stack code, it was a real pain to avoid
causing recursive locking problems with mmap_lock. One way to avoid those
was to avoid mmap_lock and use per-VMA locks instead. They are great, but
they are not available in all configs which makes them unusable in generic
code, or if you want to completely avoid mmap_lock.
Make per-VMA locks available in all configs. Right now, they are only
available on select architectures when SMP and MMU are enabled. But all
of the primitives that per-VMA locks are built on (RCU, maple trees,
refcounts) work just fine without SMP or MMU.
The only real downside is that making VMAs a wee bit bigger on !MMU and
!SMP builds.
The upside is much cleaner code, lower complexity and less #ifdeffery.
Clean up a binder VMA locking site now that it can rely on per-VMA locks.
Building on top of universally-available per-VMA locks, introduce a new
helper. Since the new API does not require callers to have a fallback to
mmap_lock, it's much easier to use. Callers can potentially replace this
very common kernel idiom:
mmap_read_lock(mm);
vma = vma_lookup()
// fiddle with vma
mmap_read_unlock(mm);
with:
vma = vma_start_read_unlocked(mm, address);
// fiddle with vma
vma_end_read(vma);
Which avoids mmap_lock entirely in the fast path.
Use that new API for another binder site and one in the TCP code.
This patch (of 7):
The per-VMA locks have been around for several years. They've had some
bugs worked out of them and have seen quite wide use. However, they are
still only available when architectures explicitly enable them. Remove
the conditional compilation around the per-VMA locks, making them
available on all architectures and configs.
The approach up to now seemed to be to add ARCH_SUPPORTS_PER_VMA_LOCK when
the architecture started using per-VMA locks in the fault handler. But,
contrary to the naming, the Kconfig option does not really indicate
whether the architecture supports per-VMA locks or not. It is more of a
marker for whether the architecture is likely to benefit from per-VMA
locks.
To me, the most important thing side-effect of universal availability is
letting per-VMA locks be used in SMP=n configs. This lets us use
per-VMA locking in all x86 code without fallbacks.
Overall, this just generally makes the kernel simpler. Just look at the
diffstat. It also opens the door to users that want to use the per-VMA
locks in common code. Doing *that* brings additional simplifications.
The downside of this is adding some fields to vm_area_struct and
mm_struct. There are likely ways to optimize this, especially for things
like SMP=n configs. For now, do the simplest thing: use the same
implementation everywhere.
== Considerations for NOMMU config ==
NOMMU systems do not write-lock VMAs, therefore read-locking a VMA would
always succeed unless VMA is detached. Therefore for NOMMU config we make
vma_mark_attached() a NOOP, which keeps VMAs always in detached state.
This causes VMA read-locking to always fail and the caller falls back to
locking mmap_lock.
The following functions will have a different implementation in NOMMU
config:
- vma_mark_attached(), vma_mark_detached() are made NOOPs, keeping VMAs
always in a detached state and preventing assertions and refcount
underflows;
- vma_start_write(), vma_start_write_killable() are made NOOPs to avoid
warnings in __vma_start_write() due to VMAs being detached. These
functions are not used in NOMMU code but __vma_start_write() is an
exported function, therefore might be used by drivers.
- vma_assert_attached() is made NOOP because it's reachable from NOMMU
code via split_vma()->vma_iter_store_new()->vma_iter_store_overwrite();
- vma_assert_write_locked() is asserting vma->vm_mm is write-locked, as
was done before this change;
- vma_assert_locked() is asserting vma->vm_mm is locked, as was done
before this change;
The following functions work for both MMU and NOMMU configs:
- vma_lock_init() performs the same initialization as for MMU config;
- mm_lock_seqcount_init(), mm_lock_seqcount_begin(),
mm_lock_seqcount_end() are called from mmap_write_{lock|unlock} and
update mm_lock_seq correctly.
- mmap_lock_speculate_try_begin(), mmap_lock_speculate_retry() work as
is because mm_lock_seq is updated correctly;
- vma_start_read(), vma_start_read_locked() will always fail because
VMAs are always detached;
- vma_end_read() will never be called because vma_start_read() never
succeeds;
- vma_is_attached() always return false because VMAs are always
detached;
- vma_assert_detached() will never trigger because VMAs are never
attached;
- vma_start_read_locked() always return false because VMAs are always
detached;
- lock_vma_under_rcu() will be safe as the attempted read lock will bail;
Changes in the following files are not affecting NOMMU config:
task_mmu.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n;
pagewalk.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n;
userfaultfd.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n (CONFIG_USERFAULTFD depends
on CONFIG_MMU);
The following changes in the BPF code are made to keep NOMMU config
working like before:
stack_map_lock_vma() - keeps mmap_lock in NOMMU config;
bpf_iter_task_vma_new() - bails out in NOMMU config;

mm/oom_kill, proc: replace magic number 1000 with OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX
In oom_badness() and proc_oom_score(), the oom_score_adj normalization uses a hardcoded 1000, which is the value of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX defined in include/uapi/linux/oom.h. Other code in the kernel (e.g. fs/proc/base.c oom_adj handling) already uses OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX for the same purpose. Replace the magic number with the macro for consistency and readability.

vmcore: report the release of the crashed kernel
kdump runs in a very small environment and cut-down set of drivers, and it can die before the dump lands: it runs out of memory, a device hangs on reset, or a watchdog fires while the dump is still being written out. This happens about a single high digit percentage on most of big scale datacenters. When that happens the only evidence left is what the capture kernel printed to the console, and that does not say which kernel crashed. A fleet typically pins one kdump image and boots it after crashes from many different production kernels, and it is useful to understand what are the combination of crashed kernel panic and succesful kdump collection. Whether the dump completes at all tends to depend on the kernel that died: memory pinned, devices in flight, dump size. The release is already recorded. crash_save_vmcoreinfo_init() puts OSRELEASE= in the VMCOREINFO note, and by the time vmcore_init() has run parse_crash_elf_headers() that note sits in elfnotes_buf. Walk the notes for it and print: vmcore: dump is from kernel 7.3.0-rc3-next-20260917 Given this is cheap and useful, I think it is worth adding to vmcore, to improve kdump monitoring.

fs: port ->setattr() to pass const mnt_idmap
Convert to const struct mnt_idmap. A mount's idmapping is immutable. The only thing that is allowed to be modified afterwards is the reference count and that is hidden behind mnt_idmap_get() and mnt_idmap_put(). Everything else only ever reads from the idmapping. This is the same model that struct cred uses and the idmapping is also rather sensitive. So make the idmap argument const wherever we can. The conversion is done from the bottom up so callers can continue to pass a non-const pointer to a const parameter until the conversion is finished. No functional changes.

mm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()
All remaining callers of is_cow_mapping() are invoking it in the form of is_cow_mapping(vma->vm_flags) or an indirected version of this. Therefore, provide a helper - vma_is_cow_mapping() to directly test the VMA. Additionally provide a new helper vma_flags_is_cow_mapping() which performs the check using the new vma_flags_t type, and share this logic between vma_is_cow_mapping() and vma_desc_is_cow_mapping(). With these changes, no callers of is_cow_mapping() remain, so remove it. Also update the userland VMA tests to reflect the change. No functional change intended.

around bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and
related vmemmap setup".
- The 4 patch series "mm/zsmalloc: reduce lock contention in zs_free()"
from Wenchao Hao reduces lock contention in zs_free(), which dominates
the unmap path under memory pressure on Android (LMK kills) and on x86
servers running zswap-heavy workloads. Up to 1.83x improvement in
microbenchmarking.
- The 2 patch series "move alloc_tag.c file under mm/" from Suren
Baghdasaryan does that.
- The 6 patch series "samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}()
failures" from SJ Park fixes improper handling of damon_start(),
damon_stop(), and damon_call() failures across DAMON sample modules to
prevent potential memory leaks, operation disruptions and use-after-free
bugs.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: kobject_del() directories that
users can create/remove" from SJ Park resolves an issue where delayed
sysfs directory removal under CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE causes
creation failures due to duplicate directory names by adding missing
kobject_del() calls before creating new directories.

- The 2 patch series "selftests/damon: fix memcg_path staging handling"
from Cheng Nie fixes a bug in _damon_sysfs.py for damos_filter
memcg_path setup, and adds a test case for it in sysfs.py.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/damon: test kdamond refresh_ms" from
Ruslan Valiyev introduces selftest coverage for DAMON's refresh_ms sysfs
feature by updating the test control module and verifying that scheme
stats update automatically without manual intervention.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: five misc fixups" from Akinobu Mita
contains miscellaneous DAMON fixups.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/core: detect internal variation above
max_nr_regions/2" from Jiayuan Chen fixes DAMON's region splitting
behavior when region counts exceed half the maximum budget by
dynamically scaling down the split fraction as the limit approaches,
preventing large regions from staying un-split, and adds corresponding
KUnit test coverage.
- The 6 patch series "mm: preparatory patches for PMD level swap
entries" from Usama Arif refactors and cleans up PMD softleaf helpers,
call sites, and architecture flags to lay the groundwork for a follow-up
series that introduces PMD page table swap entries.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: update, optimize, and clean up doc,
tests, and code" from SJ Park updates DAMON design and ABI
documentation, expands unit and selftest coverage, optimizes
damon_commit_target_regions(), and cleans up recently added sysfs
interface code for better readability.
- The 2 patch series "mm/vmpressure: reduce CPU, memory and code
overhead on cgroup v2" from Usama Arif optimizes vmpressure() by
skipping unnecessary work on cgroup v2 for userspace event notifications
and refactors v1-only eventfd handling into mm/memcontrol-v1.c to reduce
memory overhead and code complexity.
- The 10 patch series "selftests/mm: refactor pkey helpers and fix mmap
error handling" from Hongfu Li refactors pkeys shared tracing and
assertion helpers into a common file, unifies protection key selftests
to use consistent diagnostic logging and assertions, and enforces
standardized MAP_FAILED return checks for mmap() calls across the tests.
- The 18 patch series "mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp" from SJ
Park replaces the error-prone, continuously updated nr_accesses_bp field
in damon_region with an on-demand moving sum function
(damon_nr_accesses_mvsum()), reducing structure memory overhead and
avoiding state corruption bugs.
- The 6 patch series "Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic
use" from Ackerley Tng decouples HugeTLB folio allocation from VMA
dependencies by introducing hugetlb_alloc_folio(), enabling subsystems
like guest_memfd to allocate HugeTLB folios without standard VMA
reservations or pseudo-VMAs.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits"
from SJ Park integrates DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter into the
pseudo moving sum infrastructure, enabling real-time, online monitoring
without waiting for full aggregation intervals.
- The 18 patch series "mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs" from
Brendan Jackman simplifies and refactors the page allocator entry points
and flags by unifying allocation paths, adding internal alloc_flags
arguments, and eliminating redundant __ prefixed alloc_pages variants.
- The 5 patch series "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries" from
Dev Jain enforces the consistent use of huge_ptep_get() instead of
ptep_get() for HugeTLB entries and fixes an unaligned address issue in
arm64's huge_ptep_get() implementation.
- The 8 patch series "mm/damon: validate all parameters in the core"
from SJ Park consolidates parameter validation into the DAMON core
specifically within damon_start() and damon_commit_ctx() to centralize
error checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve
maintenance efficiency.
- The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and
cleanup issues" from Yichong Chen renames is_need() to filter_record()
for clearer return semantics, fixes per-record allocation memory leaks
and bounds output copies in search_pattern() to address an existing
buffer issue.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" from
Jiayuan Chen mitigates a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is
removed while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous
reclaim.
- The 5 patch series "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for
unrecoverable pages" from Breno Leitao introduces an opt-in
vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl that immediately panics
the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in kernel-owned pages to
preserve error context and prevent delayed, silent data corruption.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}()
for simple error handling" from SJ Park refactors the DAMON core API
functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when
damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the
need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code.
- The 5 patch series "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio
split" from Zi Yan adds checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when
freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages
during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split
time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail().
- The 4 patch series "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio
reuse paths" from Barry Song eliminates redundant lru_add_drain() calls
in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead.
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads.
- The 3 patch series "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" from
Jianyue Wu reorganizes folio LRU and swap code by relocating
page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c,
and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
- The 15 patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest
memory" from Kiryl Shutsemau adds userfaultfd support for tracking the
working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and
reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage.
- The 10 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part
2)" from David Hildenbrand removes the remaining pieces of
CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around
freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter
commits" from SJ Park ensures that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter
is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime,
matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and
renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- The 3 patch series "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm"
from xu xin resolves a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck
where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended
lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap
walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms
down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes
under memory pressure.
- The 3 patch series "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h"
from Mike Rapoport splits declarations related to mm_init, memblock,
vmalloc and sparse into new headers.
- The 2 patch series "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()"
from xu xin applies the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm()
to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address
initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to
a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving
lookup efficiency.
- The 3 patch series "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and
KSM tests" from Sayali Patil fixes issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM
selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for
the tests are not satisfied.
- The 19 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only
monitoring" from SJ Park introduces attribute-weighted region management
in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as
page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable
access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted
probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused
workloads.
- The 8 patch series "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for
userfaultfd-backed mappings" from Stanislav Kinsburskii extends
hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the
mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions
while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- The 33 patch series "mm: make VMA page offset handling more
consistent" from Lorenzo Stoakes cleans up and standardizes how
vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and
anonymous mappings in the kernel.
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming
rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will
unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios.
- The 3 patch series "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks"
from Usama Arif addresses kernel panics and state corruption caused by
MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations.
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly
recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a
standard migration entry.
- The 5 patch series "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" from Dev Jain
refactors try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree,
and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the
structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping.
- The 4 patch series "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and
additions" from Song Hu fixes typos and fills in missing entries in the
DAMON sysfs ABI document.
- The 10 patch series "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs"
from Gregory Price introduces an atomic sysfs state attribute and
supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when
offlining and removing entire memory regions.
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- The 13 patch series "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t"
from Lorenzo Stoakes continues transitioning the kernel from the
deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management
infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- The 2 patch series "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" from
xu xin refactors mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify
duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds
code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- The 10 patch series "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields"
from SJ Park cleans up DAMON core structures by consistently marking
internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper
direct access from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL
de-ref and races" from SJ Park addresses potential infinite loops, NULL
dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON.
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on
RT/UP" from Brendan Jackman fixes an NMI safety flaw in
__free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT
kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated
migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- The 4 patch series "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent
cleanups" from Brendan Jackman cleans up and updates page allocator
nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON()
assertions in allocation paths.
- The 3 patch series "mm/mseal: further cleanups" from Lorenzo Stoakes
refactors and simplifies the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates
mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to
current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- The 4 patch series "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up
per-node proactive reclaim" from Ridong Chen resolves reclaim behavior
bugs and cleans up function parameters across memory reclaim paths.
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of
collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask
parameter from __node_reclaim().
- The 6 patch series "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" from Kefeng Wang
cleans up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes
the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as
non-resident.
- The 2 patch series "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants"
from Kiryl Shutsemau implements two trivial cleanups in the folio split
API.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit
exec expectation bugs" from SJ Park resolves minor operational and
testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the
damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation
and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test
failure handling.
- The 3 patch series "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" from Jinjiang Tu
cleans up and refactors stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- The 3 patch series "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" from Dev Jain
extends batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities
to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- The 3 patch series "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up
early_ioremap_reset()" from Sang-Heon Jeon clarifies and cleans up the
architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and
__late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset().
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls
in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- The 4 patch series "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" from
Johannes Weiner addresses severe performance regressions, swap storms,
and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure
in Meta production.
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- The 2 patch series "zram: lockmap tweaks" from Sebastian Siewior
optimizes and fixes lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolating lock classes across multiple instances.
It reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances
with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key
to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram
devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed
while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim
- "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
Leitao)
Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl
that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in
kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,
silent data corruption
- "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
handling" (SJ Park)
Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
cleanup code
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound
or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)
Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state
to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving
MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
- "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
Shutsemau)
Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest
memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
tiered or remote storage
- "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
Hildenbrand)
Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

This work is about 3 cycles old and has been in -next for about that time. When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from under the kernel. PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no longer affect userspace fs state without explicit opting in to that. Path lookup from a kthread now fails by default. It makes it deliberately hard to offload security sensitive operations into init's filesystem state from a kthread. Places that legitimately need to look something up there opt in through the new scoped_with_init_fs() which temporarily overrides the caller's fs_struct with init's. usermodehelpers remain the only kernel tasks that genuinely share init's filesystem state, since they execute random binaries in the root filesystem (excellent...).

fs: stable_page_flags(): use BIT_ULL() for KPF flags
Patch series "cleanup for stable_page_flags()", v2. This series cleans up stable_page_flags(), see the details in the commit messages. This patch (of 3): The stable_page_flags() function currently sets page flag bits using "1 << KPF_xxx" for various KPF_* definitions. KPF_* may be larger than 32, which will trigger -Wshift-count-overflow warning. All KPF_* values currently used in "1 << KPF_xxx" are smaller than 33, so no warning is triggered with current code. Replace all occurrences of "1 << KPF_*" with the BIT_ULL() macro to ensure all shifts are performed on a 64-bit unsigned type. This makes the code robust, and safe for future extension. No functional change is intended.

mm/pagemap: add PAGE_IS_ACCESSED for RWP tracking
PAGEMAP_SCAN already reports PAGE_IS_WRITTEN from the inverted uffd PTE bit, targeting the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT workflow. UFFDIO_RWPROTECT reuses the same PTE bit as a marker for read-write protection, but "has been written" and "has been accessed" are distinct semantic signals — they happen to share one PTE bit today only because the two implementations share infrastructure. Give RWP its own pagemap category so the UAPI does not conflate them: PAGE_IS_WRITTEN reported on VM_UFFD_WP VMAs, !pte_uffd(pte) PAGE_IS_ACCESSED reported on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs, !pte_uffd(pte) Both still read the same PTE bit today, but each is scoped to the VMA whose registered mode makes the bit meaningful. If a future implementation moves RWP to a separate PTE bit, only PAGE_IS_ACCESSED switches over. This is a UAPI narrowing. Outside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs the uffd bit is always clear, so PAGEMAP_SCAN used to flag PAGE_IS_WRITTEN on every present PTE there — a meaningless duplicate of PAGE_IS_PRESENT. Now PAGE_IS_WRITTEN fires only inside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs. pagemap_hugetlb_category() now takes the vma like its PTE/PMD peers.

mm: add VM_UFFD_RWP VMA flag
Preparatory patch for userfaultfd read-write protection (RWP). RWP extends userfaultfd protection from plain write-protection (WP) to full read-write protection: accesses to an RWP-protected range -- reads as well as writes -- trap through userfaultfd. Reserve VM_UFFD_RWP, add the userfaultfd_rwp() and userfaultfd_protected() helpers, and wire up the smaps "ur" entry and the trace-flag table the rest of the series will use. The flag is gated on CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP, which is introduced together with the UAPI in a later patch; until then VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE and every downstream check folds to dead code. Nothing sets or queries the flag yet.

mm: rename uffd-wp PTE accessors to uffd
Userfaultfd RWP will reuse the uffd-wp PTE bit to mark access-tracking PTEs, alongside the write-protected ones it already marks. The bit's meaning now depends on the VMA flag (WP or RWP), not on its name. Rename the kernel-internal names that describe the bit: - pte/pmd/huge_pte accessors (and swap variants) - pgtable_supports_uffd() capability query - SCAN_PTE_UFFD khugepaged enum The ftrace string emitted by mm_khugepaged_scan_pmd for this enum is kept as "pte_uffd_wp" so existing trace-based tooling keeps matching. Pure mechanical rename -- no behavior change.

fs/proc: use softleaf_has_pfn() in pagemap PMD walker
pagemap_pmd_range_thp() assumes that every non-present PMD is a migration entry and unconditionally calls softleaf_to_page(). This will crash on any non-present PMD type that does not encode a PFN, such as the upcoming PMD-level swap entries. Guard the page lookup with softleaf_has_pfn(), matching how pte_to_pagemap_entry() already handles non-present PTEs.

fs/proc/task_mmu: fix PAGEMAP_SCAN written state for PMD holes
PAGEMAP_SCAN reports an unpopulated PTE in a uffd-wp VMA as written, but a
range with no page table at all -- a PMD hole -- is skipped:
pagemap_scan_pte_hole() tests p->cur_vma_category, which never carries
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN, so the hole is neither reported nor (under
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING) armed.
In a uffd-wp VMA, WP_UNPOPULATED installs uffd-wp markers when protecting
a range, allocating page tables as needed, so an unpopulated slot is
treated as written -- see the pte_none() handling in
pagemap_page_category(). A missing marker therefore means the range was
zapped, e.g. via MADV_DONTNEED. This applies to anon and shmem VMAs.
An anonymous THP is write-protected in place as a huge PMD, so a full-PMD
MADV_DONTNEED clears it to pmd_none -- a hole with no page table -- and
pagemap_scan_pte_hole() misses it. For a MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON mapping
MADV_DONTNEED has fill-with-zeros semantics, so a write-tracking
checkpoint/migration tool (e.g. CRIU) treats the range as unchanged and
keeps its previous contents; after restore or live migration the process
reads stale data instead of zeroes -- data corruption.
Report a hole in a non-hugetlb uffd-wp VMA as written, matching the
pte_none handling in pagemap_page_category(); the existing
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING path then arms it via uffd_wp_range().
hugetlb is excluded: pagemap_hugetlb_category() reports an empty hugetlb
entry (huge_pte_none) as not-written, unlike pagemap_page_category(),
which reports pte_none as written. pagemap_scan_pte_hole() fires for a
hugetlb slot only when it has no page table; keeping that not-written
matches how an allocated-but-empty hugetlb entry reads, so the hole and
the empty-entry cases agree within the VMA.

fs/proc/task_mmu: fix PAGEMAP_SCAN written state for unpopulated ptes
PAGEMAP_SCAN reports an unpopulated pte differently depending on which
path serves the request. The PAGE_IS_WRITTEN fast path in
pagemap_scan_pmd_entry() reports a pte_none as written (and, under
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING, arms a marker); pagemap_page_category() returns 0 for
the same pte_none. A request that cannot take the fast path (an extra
category bit, category_anyof_mask or category_inverted) therefore reports
the pte as clean and skips arming it.
A range that was populated and then MADV_DONTNEED'd reads as written via
one mask and clean via another, and in the latter case is not re-armed for
the next round -- an incremental-dump consumer (e.g. CRIU) using a richer
mask drops the zapped range and stops tracking writes to it.
Report pte_none as written in pagemap_page_category() too. A pte_none
carries no uffd-wp marker, i.e. it is not write-protected -- the same
condition under which the present and swap cases already report
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN. The fast path applies no VMA test, so neither does this.
The hugetlb and fully-unpopulated-PMD (no page table) scans have no
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN fast path, so they do not exhibit the per-entry divergence
and are left unchanged.
Add a pagemap_ioctl selftest that populates a range, drops it with
MADV_DONTNEED, and checks that the fast path and the generic
(category_anyof_mask) path both report every page written.

fs/proc: fix KPF_KSM reported for all anonymous pages
Reading /proc/kpageflags for any anonymous page returns KPF_KSM set, even
when KSM is not in use. As a result, tools misclassify all anonymous
pages as KSM merged.
In stable_page_flags(), if the page is anonymous, then use (mapping &
FOLIO_MAPPING_KSM) check to identify if the anonymous page is KSM page.
However, FOLIO_MAPPING_KSM is FOLIO_MAPPING_ANON | FOLIO_MAPPING_ANON_KSM,
(mapping & FOLIO_MAPPING_KSM) check returns true for all anonymous pages.
To fix it, use FOLIO_MAPPING_ANON_KSM instead.

proc: only bump parent nlink when registering directories
proc_register() increments the parent directory's link count for every entry it registers, while remove_proc_entry() and remove_proc_subtree() decrement it only when the removed entry is a directory. Regular files thus inflate the parent's count while they exist, and leak one link permanently on every create and remove cycle. For example, /proc/bus/pci/00 with twenty-two device files and no subdirectories reports nlink 24 instead of 2, and SR-IOV VF enable and disable cycles, each creating and removing the VF config space entries under /proc/bus/pci/<bus>, inflate the link count of that directory without bound.
