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.

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.

uprobes: remove VM_IO, set VM_MIXEDMAP for mapped kernel pages
These are not MMIO pages so VMA_IO_BIT is an inappropriate flag to set. Instead, set them VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT as they are kernel mappings and this is the appropriate flag to set for those. This provides the semantics required - no VMA merging is permitted, but does not prevent GUP. However this has no meaningful impact as these are refcounted and thus can be GUPed. A previous commit already prevented __mm_populate() from being invoked on XOL areas, which VMA_IO_BIT was previously relied upon to do, so that is no longer required. Both VMAs set a VMA name, so always_dump_vma() returns true before vma_dump_size() reaches its VMA_IO_BIT check, and thus there is no change in core dump behaviour. Change this for both the core xol_add_vma() function and the x86-specific get_uprobe_trampoline() function.

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.

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):
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.

perf: Fix UAF in attach_task_ctx_data()
struct perf_ctx_data is RCU protected. In attach_task_ctx_data(),
the cmpxchg retry loop runs without holding rcu_read_lock(). If
task->perf_ctx_data already holds a pointer (call it `cd1`), then
try_cmpxchg(&task->perf_ctx_data, &old, cd) fails and loads old = cd1.
A concurrent thread running detach_task_ctx_data() could free cd1
leading to UAF and further memory corruption when cd1 is reclaimed by
another thread.
CPU 0: attach_task_ctx_data() CPU 1: detach_task_ctx_data()

Merge __{get,put}_user() removal branch
This is long over-due: the __get_user() and __put_user() functions are
entirely historical, and are never the rigth thing to use any more. And
when mis-used (read: every case) they are not only slower than the right
thing, but also insecure because they don't check the user address
range.
Most of the usage sites have been converted long ago, but various
left-overs remained. So this started out as a single patch that I wrote
as a "show people how to convert __{get,put}_user() to modern code".
In particular, Thomas last year implemented the very nice new scoped
user access region helpers (see commit e497310b4ffb: "uaccess: Provide
scoped user access regions") that makes the modern interfaces
particularly easy to use and really removes any excuse for the old
horrors.
That small example patch then grew to this, partly using Claude as a
glorified coccinelle script to apply the pattern to other places.
There were a few different reasons for using __put_user() and
__get_user() rather than the alternatives, but the original historical
one was performance: when doing multiple accesses off the same base
pointer, doing a single range check followed by multiple non-checked
accesses used to create smaller and faster code.
The keyword here is "used to". It hasn't been true for years, because
the range check isn't actually the real cost these days. The real cost
of user accesses on modern hardware is turning the user accesses on and
off in the first place (on x86, using the STAC/CLAC instructions).
Those sequences get turned into 'scoped_user_read_access() { }' blocks,
see for example that first patch in the series: "signal: use scoped user
access for old-style sigaction".
Another, historical reason for using __get_user() and friends is that
you actually want to do a kernel pointer access, but the pointer might
not be entirely reliable (typically during fault handling), so you want
to have exception handling for the kernel access.
The modern way to do that kind of non-faulting kernel access is using
"get_kernel_nofault()", but some code predates that helper existing at
all, and used __get_user() as a way to just get a memory access with
exception handling. For that pattern, see for example "alpha: use
get_kernel_nofault() in dik_show_code()"
A third bad reason for using __get_user() and friends was that the
proper get_user() had a "might_fault()" in it, and code that ran in
atomic regions but hadn't disabled page faults would result in a
warning. That kind of code needs to explicitly disable page faults,
because "atomic region" is not well defined at run-time and can be
invisible (eg a preempt-off region in a non-preemptible kernel).
See "vdpa_sim: disable page faults around vringh_need_notify_iotlb()"
for an example of that pattern, where the local_bh_disable() now also
grows a pagefault_disable(), which makes the normal get_user() no longer
warn about the user access in non-process context, because it can see
that the potential page fault will not cause problems.
And finally, the really nasty reason to use __get_user() and friends:
pointers that can be either kernel pointers or user pointers. We've
gotten rid of almost all such cases, but a couple remained. See for
example "x86/sev: Use explicit user-or-kernel accessors for #VC memory
operands".
NOTE! This series removes all __get/put_user() calls from generic code
but only does the final removal of the whole interface on x86. Other
architectures have not been entirely converted, for a variety of reasons:
- arm64 makes __{get,put}_user() be exactly the same as
{get,put}_user() so it's harmless and didn't have the dangers of the
legacy use cases.
- any architecture that uses <asm-generic/uaccess.h> will still use
__{get,put}_user as the underlying helper function name
- several architectures had some legacy uses that weren't entirely
trivial and I didn't want to extend this patch series to things that
I don't know and that don't really matter.
but I did do a couple of the obvious "follows the exact same pattern"
just because it could be done mindlessly and automatically.
Let's see if I broke anything, but we should have done this years ago.

uprobes: Use get_user() in is_trap_at_addr()
is_trap_at_addr() reads the instruction at a user address with __get_user(), inside pagefault_disable() since the caller holds mmap_lock. There is no access_ok() in front of it, and nothing here needs the unchecked version: with page faults disabled, get_user()'s might_fault() check returns early, so that is no reason to avoid it either. Use get_user(), which also checks that the address is a user address, and on x86 avoids the lfence that __get_user() does. This is part of getting rid of __get_user() and __put_user() entirely.

perf: Fix perf_pmu_migrate_context() leaving events behind
__perf_pmu_remove() walks the group leaders of a CPU and PMU with
perf_event_groups_for_cpu_pmu(), removing each one as it goes.
perf_remove_from_context() takes the leader out of the groups rbtree,
after which rb_next() on that node returns NULL, prematurely ending the
walk. Other groups stay behind in the source context.
On CPU hotplug, they are then torn down with the dying CPU. They keep
running until teardown, while the PMU's interrupt and migrated events
are on a new CPU, which drivers rely on never happening.
Walk ctx->event_list instead and pick out the PMU's events by their
pmu_ctx.

perf/ring_buffer: stop using PG_private as AUX page high-order marker
A high-order AUX page sets PG_private on its first page and stores the order in first_page->private. Stop using PG_private and check first_page->private for AUX page order only in the ring buffer and its users. This is fine because page->private is 0 for order-0 AUX pages, matching the page order. It prepares for a future commit that remove PG_private. No functional change intended.

perf: Require kernel access for text poke events
Perf events with exclude_kernel=1 can be opened without kernel perf
access. However, exclude_kernel does not suppress text-poke sideband
records. Every PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE is marked PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL
and contains a raw kernel instruction address.
An unprivileged task can therefore open and mmap a task-local software
event with text_poke=1. Both opening a count-only tracepoint event and
configuring UDP GRO for ESP-in-UDP cause updates to inline static calls;
the observer receives the relocated addresses of the modified instructions.
For a known kernel image, any such address reveals the runtime kernel
text base despite KASLR.
Call perf_allow_kernel() whenever attr.text_poke is set, regardless of
exclude_kernel. Events that neither monitor kernel execution nor request
text-poke records retain their existing permissions.

perf: Replace perf_event_header__init_id with full header init
perf_iterate_sb() invokes its callback for each matching perf_event on
the CPU and task context, passing a shared caller-allocated event
structure.
perf_event_header__init_id() mutated header->size in place by adding
event->id_header_size, requiring sideband output callbacks to save and
restore header fields across iterations. Three sideband callbacks failed
to save and restore header.size around perf_event_header__init_id():
- perf_event_ksymbol_output()
- perf_event_bpf_output()
- perf_event_text_poke_output()
When multiple events with attr.ksymbol, attr.bpf_event, or
attr.text_poke and sample_id_all are active on the same CPU, each
subsequent event receives a record whose header.size is inflated by all
preceding events' id_header_size values while only a single id_sample is
written, leaving uninitialized ring-buffer bytes at the end of the
record and causing userspace perf to fail with -EFAULT ("Bad address")
when parsing the sample_id trailer.
Similarly, perf_event_mmap_output() set PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID
in mmap_event->event_id.header.misc when event->attr.build_id was
enabled, but only saved and restored header.size and header.type. If an
event with attr.build_id was followed by an event with attr.mmap2 and
!attr.build_id, the second event received PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID
in header.misc while its payload contained maj/min/ino/ino_generation
instead of a build ID.
Rather than splitting header initialization between callers and output
callbacks and saving/restoring mutated header fields, replace
perf_event_header__init_id() with perf_event_header__init(), which
initializes header->type, header->misc, and header->size alongside the
sample_id fields on each invocation.

perf: Fix race between perf_event_exit_task() and perf_pending_task()
A race condition exists between perf_event_exit_task() and
perf_pending_task() during begin_new_exec().
During begin_new_exec(), perf_event_exit_task() may be called, and the
PF_EXITING flag is not set on task. So perf_sigtrap() continues to execute
and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(event->ctx->task != current).
Since both task exit and exec paths can call perf_event_exit_task() which
sets ctx->task to TASK_TOMBSTONE, fix this by explicitly checking if
event->ctx->task equals TASK_TOMBSTONE and dropping the redundant
PF_EXITING check.

perf/core: Run sched_task() for PMUs with only CPU-wide events
perf_pmu_sched_task() returns early when cpuctx->task_ctx is set and
leaves the work to perf_ctx_sched_task_cb(), which only walks
ctx->pmu_ctx_list. A PMU whose events are all CPU-wide is not on that
list, so nothing calls its sched_task(). With
perf record -b -e cycles -a -- ls
armv8pmu_sched_task() is skipped on every switch to a task that has a
perf context but no event on that PMU, and BRBE records leak across the
task boundary. intel_pmu_lbr_add() calls perf_sched_cb_inc()
unconditionally too, so LBR records leak the same way on x86.
Drop the early return and skip only the CPCs that
perf_ctx_sched_task_cb() handles. That one needs a gate of its own to
make the split exact: it tests cpc->sched_cb_usage, which
perf_sched_cb_inc() sets per CPU for every branch stack user, so a task
with an event for that PMU pinned to another CPU would be handled twice.
On x86 the second __intel_pmu_lbr_restore() finds lbr_stack_state ==
LBR_NONE and calls intel_pmu_lbr_reset(), throwing away the callstack
the first one restored.
cpc->task_epc is set only while a task context is scheduled in, and
there is one epc per PMU on ctx->pmu_ctx_list, so the two gates are
inverses.
For the CPCs perf_pmu_sched_task() picks up, the callback now runs
outside the perf_ctx_disable() and perf_ctx_enable() pair in
perf_event_context_sched_in(). __perf_pmu_sched_task() disables the PMU
around the call itself.

perf/core: Fix NULL pmu_ctx passed to pmu->sched_task()
perf_pmu_sched_task() returns early when cpuctx->task_ctx is set, and
cpc->task_epc is only non-NULL while a task context is scheduled in on
this CPU. __perf_pmu_sched_task() therefore always passes NULL:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00
pc : armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50
Call trace:
armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50 (P)
perf_pmu_sched_task+0xac/0x108
__perf_event_task_sched_out+0x6c/0xe0
Pass &cpc->epc instead, the CPU-wide context for this PMU, which the
function already dereferences a few lines up to find pmu.
armv8pmu_sched_task() is the only in-tree implementation that
dereferences the argument, and it only reads ->pmu, so the oops needs
BRBE, added in v6.17.

perf/core: Fix a refcount leak in attach_perf_ctx_data()
The attach_perf_ctx_data() can race on global and !global cases. The
global case is protected by global_ctx_data_rwsem and shares a single
reference count using perf_ctx_data.global field.
But when it races with !global case, it may miss to set the global field
and result in a reference count leak.
CPU1 CPU2
----------------------------------------------------------------
attach_task_ctx_data(.global=1) attach_task_ctx_data(.global=0)
cd1 = alloc_perf_ctx_data(); cd2 = alloc_perf_ctx_data();
// { .global = 0, .refcount = 1 };
try_cmpxchg(); // success,
// task->perf_ctx_data = cd2
try_cmpxhg(); // fail; old = cd2
refcount_inc_not_zero(&old->refcount); // success
// old.refcount = 2
free_perf_ctx_data(cd1);
Then later detach_global_ctx_data() will see the data but it's not
marked as global, so it won't call detach_task_ctx_data().

A call to mediated_pmu_unaccount_event() inside _free_event() is the root
cause of this crash. Adding a check inside is_include_guest_event() ensures
we don't accidentally access a null pmu ptr. In addition to this, we will
now call mediated_pmu_unaccount_event() before clearing the pmu ptr so that
nr_include_guest_events counts are maintained correctly.

perf/core: Allow list_del during perf_event_overflow()
A PMU might use perf_sched_cb_inc() and perf_sched_cb_dec()
interface to get the PMU call back function pmu::sched_task
invoked at schedule in and schedule out. This is achieved
by walking along the list anchored by sched_cb_list.
The following scenario might lead to a list corruption.
perf_pmu_sched_task()
for_each_list_entry(..., &sched_cb_list)
+--> __perf_pmu_sched_task()
+--> event->pmu->sched_task())
+--> PMU_push_sample()
+--> perf_event_overflow()
+--> __perf_event_overflow()
+--> pmu->stop()
+--> perf_sched_cb_dec()
remove entry from sched_cb_list
while list node in use.
This happens when ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_REFRESH, xxx) has been
invoked and perf_event::event_limit hits zero.
Prevent the list corruption and convert for_each_list_entry()
to for_each_list_entry_safe().

treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversions
This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc() family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's "--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control flow indicator I could find. Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc, riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

perf: Enhance perf_reg_validate() with simd_enabled argument
The upcoming patch will support x86 APX eGPRs sampling by using the reclaimed XMM register space to represent eGPRs in sample_regs_* fields. To differentiate between XMM and eGPRs in sample_regs_* fields, an additional argument, simd_enabled, is introduced to the perf_reg_validate() helper. If simd_enabled is set to 1, it indicates that eGPRs are represented in sample_regs_* fields for the x86 platform; otherwise, XMM registers are represented.

perf/x86: Support XMM sampling using sample_simd_vec_reg_* fields
Support sampling of XMM registers using the sample_simd_vec_reg_* fields. When sample_simd_regs_enabled is set, the original XMM space in the sample_regs_* field is treated as reserved. An INVAL error will be reported to user space if any bit is set in the original XMM space while sample_simd_regs_enabled is set. The perf_reg_value function requires ABI information to understand the layout of sample_regs. To accommodate this, a new abi field is introduced in the struct x86_perf_regs to represent ABI information. Additionally, the x86 specific perf_simd_reg_value() function is implemented to retrieve the XMM register values. XMM sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.

perf: Add sampling support for SIMD registers
Users may be interested in sampling SIMD registers during profiling.
The current sample_regs_* structure does not have sufficient space
for all SIMD registers.
To address this, new attribute fields sample_simd_{pred,vec}_reg_* are
added to struct perf_event_attr to represent the SIMD registers that are
expected to be sampled.
Currently, the perf/x86 code supports XMM registers in sample_regs_*.
To unify the configuration of SIMD registers and ensure a consistent
method for configuring XMM and other SIMD registers, a new event
attribute field, sample_simd_regs_enabled, is introduced. When
sample_simd_regs_enabled is set, it indicates that all SIMD registers,
including XMM, will be represented by the newly introduced
sample_simd_{pred|vec}_reg_* fields. The original XMM space in
sample_regs_* is reserved for future uses.
Since SIMD registers are wider than 64 bits, a new output format is
introduced. The number and width of SIMD registers are dumped first,
followed by the register values. The number and width are based on the
user's configuration.
A new ABI, PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD, is added to indicate the new format.
The enum perf_sample_regs_abi is now a bitmap. This change should not
impact existing tools, as the version and bitmap remain the same for
values 1 and 2.
Additionally, two new __weak functions are introduced:
- perf_simd_reg_value(): Retrieves the value of the requested SIMD
register.
- perf_simd_reg_validate(): Validates the configuration of the SIMD
registers.
A new flag, PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS, is added to indicate that the PMU
supports SIMD register dumping. An error is generated if
sample_simd_{pred|vec}_reg_* is mistakenly set for a PMU that does not
support this capability.

perf: Fix use-after-free when perf mmap() revival races with the last munmap()
perf_mmap_close() drops rb->mmap_count *without* holding
event->mmap_mutex (the refcount_dec_and_test() right before the
refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock() of event->mmap_count). A concurrent
perf_mmap_rb() can slot its entire "revival" path into that window
(perf_mmap holds event->mmap_mutex for its whole duration, including
rb_alloc):
munmap side (perf_mmap_close) mmap side (perf_mmap_rb)
----------------------------------- --------------------------------
rb->mmap_count 1 -> 0 (no lock) (holds event->mmap_mutex)
inc_not_zero(rb->mmap_count) fails
ring_buffer_attach(event, NULL)
rb_alloc() + attach new rb
refcount_set(&event->mmap_count, 1)
lock; event->mmap_count 1 -> 0
ring_buffer_attach(event, NULL)
ring_buffer_put() -> frees the *new* rb
The revival's refcount_set(&event->mmap_count, 1) is an invisible
1 -> 1 write: the close frees the just-revived buffer although the
other process still has it mapped -- a page-level use-after-free
allowing local privilege escalation to root by any unprivileged user
(default kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2).
Swap the order of the two counter updates: event->mmap_count is
dropped first via refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock(), so its 1 -> 0
transition and the ring_buffer_attach() stay serialized with
perf_mmap(). rb->mmap_count == 0 then implies every event using the
buffer is detached already, so the result of the rb->mmap_count drop
can gate the remaining teardown directly and detach_rest is no longer
needed.
An earlier fix for this race from Kyle Zeng and David Lee takes
event->mmap_mutex around both counter updates [0]; here the not-last
close stays lockless.

perf/core: Skip empty AUX records with only format flags
perf_aux_output_end() emits a PERF_RECORD_AUX when the recorded size is
nonzero or when any flag other than PERF_AUX_FLAG_OVERWRITE is set.
PMU format flags describe how an AUX payload is encoded. TRBE driver
sets PERF_AUX_FLAG_CORESIGHT_FORMAT_RAW for raw trace buffers, causing
an AUX record to be emitted even when no trace data.
This is noticeable when tracing a task with strace. Ptrace stops
repeatedly end empty AUX transactions, producing many zero-sized
PERF_RECORD_AUX records. For example:
perf record -e cs_etm//u -m,128M -- strace ls
perf script -D 2>&1 |
awk '/PERF_RECORD_AUX offset/ {
for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++)
if ($i == "size:" && $(i + 1) == "0")
count++
}
END { print count }'
165
This recording contains 165 zero-sized AUX records which provide no
useful information to userspace.
Ignore PERF_AUX_FLAG_PMU_FORMAT_TYPE_MASK, together with
PERF_AUX_FLAG_OVERWRITE, when deciding whether an empty AUX record is
useful. Zero-sized records carrying TRUNCATED, PARTIAL or COLLISION
are still emitted.

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.

Summary of patch series in this merge:
- The 2 patch series "mm: drop "sub" prefix from various places" from
Dev Jain implements some page->folio conversion and a naming cleanup.
- The 2 patch series "mm/kasan: remove redundant initialization for
kasan_flag_write_only" from Igor Putko provides some KASAN cleanup work.
- The 2 patch series "mm/filemap: reduce unnecessary xarray lookups"
from Chi Zhiling provides a small speedup in the pagecaache read code.
- The 4 patch series "mm/percpu: Fix possible NOFS/NOIO reclaim
recursion" from Kaitao Cheng improves a few things in the vmalloc code -
mainly the avoidance of GFP_KERNEL allocations when the caller asked for
GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO.
- The 3 patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task
stacks" from Breno Leitao avoids a soft lockup watchdog trigger from the
kmemleak scanning code in extreme situations.
- The 6 patch series "mm/page_owner: misc cleanups" from Ye Liu is a
collection of unrelated cleanups to the page_owner code. For some
reason lots of people have been working on the page_owner code this
cycle.
- The 4 patch series "mm: convert to walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate
find_vma()" from Kefeng Wang simplifies and accelerates the page walking
library function.
- The 3 patch series "mm/migrate: preparatory cleanups for batch copy
and offload" from Shivank Garg implements cleanups in the migration
code.
- The 4 patch series "mm/page_owner: add per-fd filter infrastructure
for print_mode and NUMA filtering" from Zhen Ni provides per-fd
filtering to page_owner in order to reduce the sometimes vast amount of
output it can produce.
- The 19 patch series "mm: Refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage
allocation" from Muchun Song is a "set of fixes and preparatory cleanups
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 3 patch series "mm: cleanup clear_not_present_full_ptes()" from
David Hildenbrand cleans up the core pte handling code.
- The 3 patch series "selftests/damon: misc fixes for test bugs" from
Kunwu Chan fixes several bugs in the DAMON selftests.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

perf/core: Fix group leader use-after-free after sibling detach
perf_group_detach() handles leader and sibling detach differently. When the
group leader is detached, all siblings are promoted to singleton events and
their group_leader pointer is reset to themselves. When a sibling is
detached, it is removed from the leader's sibling_list, but its
group_leader pointer is left pointing at the old leader.
That is harmless when the sibling is being closed and freed immediately, as
in the DETACH_DEAD path. It is not safe when the sibling is detached but
kept alive, such as during CPU hotplug with DETACH_GROUP. In that case the
sibling is removed from the context, while its file descriptor can still
keep it alive.
A typical failing sequence is:
- A group contains leader L and sibling S.
- CPU hot-unplug detaches S with DETACH_GROUP, removing it from
L->sibling_list but leaving S->group_leader == L.
- L is later closed and freed.
- A PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP ioctl on S follows S->group_leader and
dereferences the freed leader.
This was reproduced by running the perf event fuzzer, CPU hotplug, and a
stress workload concurrently:

The fault happened in perf_ioctl(), where perf_event_for_each() follows
the stale group_leader pointer and perf_event_for_each_child() then
dereferences the freed leader's context.
Fix the use-after-free by promoting the detached sibling to a singleton.
Also fix __event_disable() cgroup accounting and event state change.

perf: Reject exited events as group leaders
perf_event_remove_on_exec() sets remove-on-exec events to the EXIT state
and detaches their group relationships. The event's file descriptor can
remain open, however, and perf_event_open() currently accepts that event
as a group leader because its early validation rejects only REVOKED and
DEAD events.
A new sibling can consequently be linked to the detached leader. When
the leader is closed, perf_group_detach() observes that its
PERF_ATTACH_GROUP bit is already clear and skips the new sibling. The
sibling then retains a group_leader pointer to the freed event.
Reject group leaders in the EXIT state. Perform the check while holding
the shared context mutex so that an exec in the target task cannot detach
the leader between validation and group attachment.

mm/rmap: rename vma_interval_tree_*() to mapping_rmap_tree_*()
The family of vma_interval_tree_() functions manipulate the address_space (which, of course, is generally referred to as 'mapping') reverse mapping, but are named the 'VMA' interval tree. VMAs may be mapped by an anon_vma, an address_space, or both. Therefore calling the mapping interval tree a 'VMA' interval tree is rather confusing. This is also inconsistent with the anon_vma_interval_tree_*() functions which explicitly reference the rmap object to which they pertain. Rename the vma_interval_tree_*() functions to mapping_rmap_tree_*() to correct this. We will rename the anon rmap functions similarly in a subsequent patch. No functional change intended.

mm/rmap: parameterise vma_interval_tree_*() by address_space
The file-backed mapping interval tree functions vma_interval_tree_*() accept a raw rb_root_cached pointer to determine the tree in which they are operating. However, in each case, this is always associated with an address_space data type. So simply pass a pointer to that instead to simplify the code, and more clearly differentiate between these operations and those concerning anonymous mappings. While we're here, make the generated interval tree functions static as they do not need to be used externally (any previously existing external users have now been removed). We also rename VMA parameters from 'node' to 'vma' as calling this a node is simply confusing, update the input index types to pgoff_t since they reference page offsets and rename the parameters to pgoff_start and pgoff_last. No functional change intended.

uprobes: Switch uretprobes_srcu to SRCU-fast-updown
uretprobes_srcu currently uses normal SRCU, which issues two smp_mb() per read lock/unlock pair. This overhead is paid on every uretprobe hit. Switch to SRCU-fast-updown, which eliminates the per-reader memory barriers by moving the ordering cost to the grace-period side (synchronize_rcu() instead of smp_mb()). This is acceptable because grace periods (uprobe unregistration) are infrequent compared to reader-side uretprobe hits. The updown flavor is required because the SRCU read lock is taken in prepare_uretprobe() when a return instance is created and is held until that return instance is finalized. The traced thread returns to user space in between, so the lock is inherently released in a different context from where it was acquired: on the normal return path via uprobe_handle_trampoline() -> hprobe_finalize(), or from ri_timer() (expiry) or dup_utask() (fork) via hprobe_expire(). srcu_down_read_fast() / srcu_up_read_fast() are designed for this acquire-here / release-elsewhere pattern and, unlike the same-context srcu_read_lock_fast() variant, do not carry the lockdep read-side tracking that would warn on it. The short, same-context SRCU sections in ri_timer() and dup_utask() (which guard the uprobe against reuse across the hprobe_expire() cmpxchg) instead use guard(srcu_fast_updown) for proper lockdep coverage.

get_uprobe(NULL) <-- Oops
Only take the extra reference when the uprobe is non-NULL; a NULL means
it is gone and is the correct value to return.
