dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio() doesn't check
hstate_is_gigantic_no_runtime(h) though remove_hugetlb_folio()/
update_and_free_hugetlb_folio() silently bail for such folios, so it frees
a still-listed folio and, on vmemmap restore failure, the
add_hugetlb_folio() rollback corrupts the free list.

The sysfs THP tuneables at /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_huge_pages/ rather
confusingly only control the behaviour of THP in some instances.
They are not applicable to MADV_COLLAPSE operations, nor to DAX mappings.
Long-term, THP is predicated upon compaction being able to obtain large
folios to populate THP ranges.
However, vm_normal_folio() returns NULL for PFN map mappings, thus their
reference count is maintained by the driver, not core mm.
As a consequence, the folios are not subject to reclaim nor compaction, so
are not truly part of the THP mechanism at all.
However, since commit 5dd40721f147 ("mm: allow THP orders for PFNMAPs")
introduced the ability to establish huge PFN maps, they have been subject
to THP tuneables.
This is incorrect - if a huge PFN map is available (defined by
vma->vm_ops->huge_fault being non-NULL for a VMA_PFNMAP_BIT VMA), then it
should be mapped huge upon fault-in.
Correct this by explicitly checking for this while ensuring that smaps
continues to accurately report THPeligible statistics.
While here, abstract the entire file-backed THP check in
vma_can_map_huge_file(), with sensible separation of logic into helper
functions.
Note that drm_gem_shmem_mmap() and panthor_gem_mmap() establish huge PFN
maps of shmem folios, however they are marked unevictable in
drm_gem_get_pages(), and in any case would fail the reference check in
__remove_mapping() even if they weren't.
Failing to map huge PFN maps has resulted in significant real-world
performance degradation, see links for details.

secretmem accounts folios by treating memory as if it were mlock()'d and
thus limited by the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit.
However the folios are unevictable and remain so until the inode is
evicted, eliminating usual mlock() semantics - mapping folios then
unmapping them does not clear their unevictable state, since it depends on
AS_UNEVICTABLE, not PG_mlocked.
A user can therefore easily work around the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit - simply
map then unmap and VmLck no longer counts the secretmem range. Worse,
folios are not accounted in the process's RSS, meaning the OOM killer
won't know to kill the process.
Repeatedly mapping/unmapping (or forking) can then result in the
consumption of all available system memory with unevictable folios and
cause system instability.
A secretmem fd can be passed between processes and over fork so a
per-process limit simply does not make sense, so follow the precedent set
by io_uring, perf, skbuff, iommufd and xdp by tracking the number of
locked pages in user_struct->locked_vm.
Since the scope tracked is actually inode lifetime, the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
applies per-user not per-process, so it doesn't make sense to bypass for
users with CAP_IPC_LOCK, therefore remove this bypass.
There is simply no reason to carry on marking the mapping as mlock()'d
since it's misleading and the lifecycle is now correctly handled, so
remove this too.
Note that secretmem does not support any form of truncation (including
hole punching) and the folios are unreclaimable, so the folios need only
be accounted on fault and unaccounted on inode destruction.
__secretmem_account_pages() is more or less a duplicate of the code that
io_uring etc. use, but since this is a bug fix that needs backporting,
defer any de-duplication efforts to a follow-up.
test_mlock_limit() asserts mlock_future_ok() on mmap(), however this has
been removed, so remove the test altogether for the fix. A new test will
be sent separately for upstream.

Uniquely an mremap() invocation using the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag can reset
a faulted VMA into an unfaulted one.
It does so after the page tables have been moved to the copied VMA with
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaving the old VMA in place which is naturally unfaulted
as the page tables it had are no longer present.
However, in doing so, it violates the invariant that the anonymous page
offset of an unfaulted VMA is vma->vm_start >> PAGE_SHIFT.
This is because a VMA may have been faulted in, mremap()'d (causing a
delta between its page offset and vma->vm_start >> PAGE_SHIFT), and then
mremap()'d again with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP resulting in the unfaulting.
This condition is a violation of a fundamental assumption in mm, but now
also triggers an assert in assert_sane_pgoff() which explicitly checks for
this condition.
Correct it by resetting the VMA's page offset at the point of completing
the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP operation.

shmem_parse_opt_casefold() stores the unicode_map returned by utf8_load()
in ctx->encoding. The casefold parameter can be supplied more than once
for the same filesystem context, but replacing the stored map does not
release the previous reference.
The final reference is also leaked when an unmounted filesystem context is
freed.
Release the previous map before replacing it, clear ctx->encoding after
transferring ownership to the superblock, and release any remaining
reference from shmem_free_fc().
An unprivileged user can repeatedly set the casefold parameter on a tmpfs
filesystem context from a user namespace. This causes unbounded kernel
memory consumption and can result in a local denial of service.

Commit ba23f58de896 ("mm/migrate: don't call
folio_putback_active_hugetlb() on dst hugetlb folio") moved setting of the
migratable flag and active-list placement from
folio_putback_active_hugetlb(dst) into move_hugetlb_state(), so that the
freshly allocated destination folio is handled where allocation is known
to have succeeded.
Unfortunately, the new code was appended after the existing
temporary-folio block in move_hugetlb_state(), which contains an early
return added earlier by commit 5af1ab1d24e08 ("mm/hugetlb: optimize the
surplus state transfer code in move_hugetlb_state()"):
if (folio_test_hugetlb_temporary(new_folio)) {
...
if (new_nid == old_nid)
return; <-- skips the new code
...
}
/* added by ba23f58 */
folio_set_hugetlb_migratable(new_folio);
list_move_tail(&new_folio->lru, ...&h->hugepage_activelist);
When the destination folio is temporary (i.e. the hugetlb pool was
exhausted and the migration callback fell back to
alloc_migrate_hugetlb_folio()) and the migration does not cross a node --
the common case, and always true on a single-NUMA system --
move_hugetlb_state() returns before setting the migratable flag or adding
the new folio to the active list. The destination folio is then installed
in the page table but cannot be isolated afterwards, since
folio_isolate_hugetlb() rejects folios without the migratable flag; a
subsequent soft-offline, hard-offline or memory-hotplug offline of that
folio fails with -EBUSY.
This was reproduced on a single-NUMA arm64 VM: a second MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE
on an already-migrated hugetlb page returned EBUSY and logged "hugepage
isolation failed".
Keep the surplus adjustment, which is the only part that depends on the
node crossing, guarded by `if (new_nid != old_nid)', while making the
migratable flag and active-list placement unconditional. This preserves
the cleanup intent of ba23f58 and closes the early-return hole.

syzbot reported a sleeping function called from invalid context splat in
bucket_table_alloc().
When rhashtable_insert_slow() rehashes the table under rcu_read_lock(), it
calls bucket_table_alloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN). If the bucket
table allocation uses vmalloc, __vmalloc_node_range_noprof() invokes
vm_area_alloc_pages() -> alloc_pages_bulk_mempolicy_noprof() with the
passed GFP_ATOMIC flags.
If the current task has an MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE mempolicy,
alloc_pages_bulk_weighted_interleave() is called and currently hardcodes
GFP_KERNEL when allocating the temporary weights array, triggering a
might_alloc() splat in atomic/RCU contexts.
Pass the gfp flags (masked with GFP_RECLAIM_MASK to strip page-allocator
zone modifiers like __GFP_HIGHMEM) received by
alloc_pages_bulk_weighted_interleave() to kmalloc() instead of hardcoding
GFP_KERNEL. Since the weights buffer is immediately initialized in full,
kmalloc() is sufficient.

zap_huge_pmd_folio() propagates the pmd young bit to the folio for the
file case, but not the dirty bit. The pte path does propagate it, in
zap_present_folio_ptes() and so does the pmd split path, in
__split_huge_pmd_locked().
For most file mappings the omission is harmless, because writing to a
shared file mapping goes through page_mkwrite(), which dirties the folio.
tmpfs is different: it has no page_mkwrite(), and vma_wants_writenotify()
is false for it, so a *read* fault on a MAP_SHARED tmpfs mapping installs
a writable pmd via do_read_fault(). do_read_fault() does not call
fault_dirty_shared_page(), so subsequent stores through that mapping set
only the hardware dirty bit in the pmd and never call folio_mark_dirty().
A shmem folio allocated by a fault is marked uptodate but not dirty (see
the clear: block in shmem_get_folio_gfp()), so PG_dirty is never set at
all.
Unmapping such a folio - munmap(), or exit_mmap() when the process dies -
then loses the only record that it was written, because zap_huge_pmd()
drops the pmd without transferring the dirty bit. Reclaim afterwards sees
a clean shmem folio: the whole swap-out block in shrink_folio_list() is
inside "if (folio_test_dirty(folio))", so pageout() is skipped and the
folio falls into __remove_mapping(). There, folio_is_file_lru() is false
for a swapbacked folio, so no shadow entry is created and
__filemap_remove_folio(folio, NULL) simply empties the i_pages slot. The
data is freed without ever being written to swap, and the next fault on
that index returns a freshly zeroed folio.
This is silent data loss for any process that keeps state in a MAP_SHARED
tmpfs segment across an unmap - for example a cache handed from one
process generation to the next through /dev/shm. It requires the folio to
be PMD-mapped, so it only shows up once shmem THP is enabled (which is
what we did in Meta fleet and started noticing crashes); with THP off the
pte path transfers the dirty bit correctly. It also only becomes visible
when swap is enabled, because with no swap device shmem folios (which are
on the anon LRU) are not scanned by reclaim at all, so the clean folio is
never dropped.
Reproduced on x86_64 with a tmpfs mounted huge=within_size: read-fault a
2MB-backed region, write a known pattern through the resulting mapping,
munmap, force reclaim of the cgroup, then re-map and read back. Without
this patch the region reads back as zeros and vmstat shows zswpout 0 - the
data was discarded rather than swapped. With this patch the region reads
back correctly and the pages are swapped out as expected. With
huge=never, or when the first touch is a write, the test passes either
way.

Lance reported that when nothing else causes the mm to be considered for
khugepaged collapse, an MADV_HUGEPAGE-advised tmpfs VMA alone does not
trigger scanning.
After commit 6beeab870e70 ("mm: shmem: move shmem_huge_global_enabled()
into shmem_allowable_huge_orders()"), the shmem/tmpfs allowable order
check reads vma->flags directly. However, when MADV_HUGEPAGE is handled,
khugepaged_enter_vma() is called before the VMA's flags have been updated,
so the check uses stale flags and incorrectly rejects the VMA for
collapse. As a result, khugepaged does not collapse the tmpfs file into
PMD order in time.
Fix this by calling khugepaged_enter_vma() with the new VMA flags in
madvise_update_vma(). Meanwhile we can remove the khugepaged_enter_vma()
in hugepage_madvise().

dissolve_free_hugetlb_folio() can remove a free folio as surplus when its
node has surplus pages. In that case remove_hugetlb_folio() decrements
both nr_huge_pages and surplus_huge_pages, leaving the persistent pool
size unchanged.
Updating max_huge_pages as if a persistent folio had been removed can
therefore corrupt the persistent pool target and underflow it when
max_huge_pages is zero. Keep max_huge_pages unchanged for surplus folios,
including the vmemmap restoration rollback path.

migrate_device_range() and migrate_device_pfns() clear the entries
following a compound folio so that the PFN arrays retain their
page-granular representation.
If a compound folio extends beyond the end of the caller-provided range,
the loops clear all following folio entries without limiting them to the
number of slots remaining in the npages-sized array, causing an
out-of-bounds write.
Do not proceed with a compound folio if its page-granular representation
does not fit entirely in the remaining PFN array. If this happens, drop
any reference and lock acquired for the folio, clear the remaining
entries, and stop collecting.

hugetlb_cgroup_css_alloc() rounds the counter limit down to a multiple of
the huge page size and then applies it inside an assertion:
VM_BUG_ON(page_counter_set_max(fault, limit));
VM_BUG_ON(page_counter_set_max(rsvd, limit));
With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n, VM_BUG_ON(cond) is BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID(cond),
i.e. ((void)(sizeof((__force long)(cond)))), whose operand is never
evaluated. page_counter_set_max() is not a predicate - it performs
xchg(&counter->max, nr_pages) - so on every non-debug kernel the limit is
never applied and the counters keep page_counter_init()'s
PAGE_COUNTER_MAX.
That is user-visible, because hugetlb_cgroup_read_u64_max() recomputes the
same rounded value and uses equality as its "unlimited" sentinel.
PAGE_COUNTER_MAX is LONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE = 2251799813685247, which is odd,
so round_down() really does change it and the two sides disagree. With
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n:
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/t/hugetlb.2MB.max
9223372036854771712
and with this patch:
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/t/hugetlb.2MB.max
max
A debug option should not change cgroup output.
Call the function, then assert the result, as v6.12 did. Use
VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() rather than restoring VM_BUG_ON(): the two are identical

The v1 soft limit has been deprecated since v6.12 and nobody has reported
depending on it. Start the removal by decoupling the interface from the
implementation: keep memory.soft_limit_in_bytes, but ignore writes to it
and always report the maximum value on read similar to what
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes already does.
Writes are still parsed, so malformed input keeps returning -EINVAL. The
knob now also behaves the same everywhere: it used to return -EOPNOTSUPP
on PREEMPT_RT, where soft limit reclaim has always been disabled.
This also fixes the syzbot report linked below. Soft limit reclaim is the
only caller that runs shrink_lruvec() from kswapd against a specific
memcg, so it is the only way to reach lru_gen_shrink_lruvec() and in turn
set_mm_walk(), which warns when called from kswapd.

alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() can pass a NULL nodemask to
alloc_fresh_hugetlb_folio() as a fallback to allocate from all nodes. If
order is gigantic, alloc_fresh_hugetlb_folio() propagates the NULL
nodemask down to hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() via
alloc_gigantic_frozen_folio().
Additionally, hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() previously attempted
allocation on hugetlb_cma[nid] without verifying if nid is included in the
caller's nodemask. Adding a node_isset(nid, *nodemask) check ensures the
initial preferred node allocation honors the memory policy / nodemask.
However, hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() dereferences the nodemask in
node_isset(nid, *nodemask) and for_each_node_mask(node, *nodemask),
leading to a null pointer dereference kernel panic when nodemask is NULL.
Fix this by checking if nodemask is NULL in
hugetlb_cma_alloc_frozen_folio() and defaulting it to
cpuset_current_mems_allowed. Enclose the allocation attempts within the
cpuset seqcount retry loop so that if the cpuset changes concurrently
during allocation, the attempts are retried using the updated nodemask.
This ensures that the initial node check and fallback loop safely honor
the task's cpuset without violating cpuset constraints or causing NULL
pointer dereferences or unexpected allocation failures.
From a userspace perspective, this bug allows an unprivileged user to
crash the kernel (trigger a panic) by requesting a gigantic hugepage
allocation with MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY on a system where CMA is only
configured on a subset of NUMA nodes.
This can be reproduced by booting a VM with two NUMA nodes, restricting
CMA to Node 1 (e.g., hugetlb_cma=1:1G default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G
hugepages=0), and running a program that allocates a 1GB hugepage area
without reserving, restricts allocation to Node 0 using mbind() with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, and triggers a page fault:
void *ptr = mmap(NULL, 1UL << 30, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB |
MAP_HUGE_1GB | MAP_NORESERVE, -1, 0);
unsigned long nodemask = 1; /* Node 0 */
mbind(ptr, 1UL << 30, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, &nodemask,
sizeof(nodemask) * 8, 0);
memset(ptr, 0, 1UL << 30); /* Trigger fault */
This results in a NULL pointer dereference:

Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
(Lorenzo Stoakes)
Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
file-backed memory.
Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
improvements.
- "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
(Baolin Wang)
Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
performance.
- "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
Chen)
Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.
- "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)
Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
producer updates.
Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
60% without impacting scan throughput.
- "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)
Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.
- "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
memcg" (Zi Yan)
Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
node memory accounting.
- "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)
Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.
- "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)
Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.
- "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
Huang)
Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
reinitialization.
- "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)
Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
writeback_store() and read_block_state().
- "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)
Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.
- "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
(Muhammad Usama Anjum)
Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
retry logic for transient page migration errors.
- "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)
Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
writeback efficiency.
- "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
Baghdasaryan)
Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
aggregation.
This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
data to userspace.
- "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
(Christoph Hellwig)
Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
faster swap throughput during kernel builds.
- "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
(Catalin Marinas)
Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.
- "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
(Breno Leitao)
Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
confirming scan.
- "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)
Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
export their own swap_ops.
- "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)
khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
documentation.
- "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)
Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.
Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation
edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to
GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL.

When a memory cgroup is offlined its LRU folios are reparented to the
parent. lruvec_reparent_lru() splices the child's lists into the
parent's and credits the parent with the child's per-zone
lru_zone_size[], but never clears the child's copy, so the size is
copied rather than moved. lru_gen_reparent_memcg() does the same for
MGLRU.
The parent is left correct, credited with exactly the folios it took
over. The stale value sits on the child and nothing will correct it:
folio->memcg_data now resolves to the parent, so every later
update_lru_size() for those folios goes there.
Dying cgroups are not freed immediately and mem_cgroup_iter() still
walks them, so shrink_lruvec() keeps being called on them.
get_scan_count() reads the phantom counter through lruvec_lru_size() and
the scan loop then grinds through nr[] in SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX steps against
an empty list, for as long as the dead cgroup lives. Under MGLRU the
MGLRU scanner runs instead, but count_shadow_nodes() sums all of
NR_LRU_LISTS through lruvec_lru_size() and over-budgets the shadow node
limit just the same.
On one 251 GiB host a sweep of every mz->lru_zone_size[] found 380
counters describing folios on no list at all: 124777314 pages, 476 GiB,
1.89x the machine's RAM, across 57 cgroups. All were on memcgs with
CSS_DYING set and CSS_ONLINE clear, and parent/child pairs reported
byte-identical sizes.
LRU_UNEVICTABLE needs its size moved too. Its list is deliberately not
spliced because lruvec_init() poisons the head - the unevictable LRU is
imaginary and folios are never threaded on it - but the size is kept by
lruvec_add_folio()/lruvec_del_folio() and those folios account to the
parent from here on.
This depends on commit bf4ade7dbd76 ("memcg: keep folio's objcg same as
its node") and must not be backported ahead of it. Without that
invariant a folio's objcg can belong to another node, so a folio already
spliced onto the parent's list can still resolve to the child's lruvec
until the objcg's node is reparented in a later iteration of
memcg_reparent_objcgs(); clearing the child's counter early then lets
lruvec_del_folio() underflow it and trip the WARN_ONCE()/VM_BUG_ON() in
mem_cgroup_update_lru_size().

consume_stock() can drive a stock slot's nr_pages to zero while its
cached[] pointer stays set, so the slot keeps pinning the css reference
that refill_stock() took. The offlining drain only flushes slots with
cached pages, so the reference is never released unless the slot happens
to be displaced by an unrelated charge or by CPU hotplug, and the memcg
lingers in the dying state - up to NR_MEMCG_STOCK (7) of them per CPU
under container churn.
Keeping the slot populated past the last page only saves a
css_get()/css_put() pair on the next charge of the same memcg, and costs
more than that: the offlining drain has to know about empty slots, and
refill_stock() cannot reuse them either, so a charge under a different
memcg evicts a live batch through the drain_idx rotation instead.
Drop the reference in consume_stock() when the slot empties. Empty slots
stop existing, so is_memcg_drain_needed() and the drain path stay as they
are, and refill_stock() reuses emptied slots directly. The cost is one
refcount pair per emptied slot, at most once per MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH pages.

migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() calls flush_cache_page() before
replacing an existing huge zero PMD. However, the third argument to
flush_cache_page() is a PFN, while addr + HPAGE_PMD_SIZE is an end virtual
address.
More importantly, the mapping being invalidated is PMD-sized rather than
PAGE_SIZE-sized. Flush the whole PMD range with flush_cache_range(),
matching other huge PMD invalidation paths.
There is no userspace-visible effect today. The architectures that
currently enable ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION use no-op implementations of
flush_cache_page()/flush_cache_range(). 32-bit ARM has non-trivial
implementations, but does not enable ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION.
So this appears to be a latent API misuse rather than a currently
observable bug, and I don't think a stable backport is necessary.

In this configuration, MAX_NUMNODES is 4. clang unrolls the for loop in
setup_node_to_cpumask_map() past this, which triggers the fortify check
when accessing node_to_cpumask_map on the theoretical fifth loop iteration
because it would be an out of bounds write.
Make it clear to clang that nr_node_ids is bounded by MAX_NUMNODES due to
the logic in setup_nr_node_ids() by early returning in
setup_node_to_cpumask_map() should that condition be violated.

Currently, in anon_vma_clone(), src vma's anon_vma is assigned to
active_anon_vma and is used when unlocking anon_vma after linking new
AVCs. However, the anon_vma is locked using src->anon_vma, instead of
active_anon_vma, making the lock and unlock target inconsistent.
Use active_anon_vma for both locking and unlocking.

For embedded devices, lacking support for NUMA, memory hotplug/hotremove,
CMA and huge pages is a quite common scenario. In this scenario, the
demand for contiguous physical memory allocation is very low. To reduce
the kernel image size, some devices disable the compaction. However,
their SoCs do support DDR ECC, meaning that memory-failure may be needed.
Migration is very useful for soft_offline_page() in memory-failure, which
may be triggered by correctable memory errors. Most anonymous and
file-mapped faulty pages can be migrated to other healthy pages.
Currently, MEMORY_FAILURE does not explicitly select MIGRATION. When
COMPACTION, MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, NUMA_MIGRATION and CMA are all disabled,
MEMORY_FAILURE can be enabled, but MIGRATION cannot be selected.
Make MEMORY_FAILURE select MIGRATION to handle this situation.

alpha requires percpu variables in modules to be defined as weak so that the
compiler generates GOT based external references for them. This puts two
extra restrictions on percpu variable definitions. The symbol must be
globally unique even when static and a static percpu variable can't be
defined inside a function. DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU exists to give generic
code build coverage for these restrictions without building for alpha.
MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING defines a static percpu counter at each allocation call
site and thus can't be built with weak percpu definitions, so it depends on
!DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU. As allmodconfig enables DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU,
this knocks MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING out of allmodconfig build coverage.
allmodconfig coverage for MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING is worth more than build
coverage for restrictions which only matter to alpha module builds. Drop
DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU. Restriction violations will now show up only on
alpha builds.

sort_folio() has a shortcut for moving folios that are no longer evictable
but are still sitting on a generation list. However, this shortcut is
buggy. It does not follow the PG_lru usage convention, and it has a more
serious issue.
Unevictable folios are not threaded on lists[LRU_UNEVICTABLE], so that
folio->lru can be reused to hold folio->mlock_count (see the comment in
lruvec_init()). Hence lruvec_add_folio() skips the list_add() for them,
and every other place that turns a folio unevictable initialises
mlock_count explicitly: lru_add() sets it to 0, __mlock_folio() and
__mlock_new_folio() set it to !!folio_test_mlocked(folio). sort_folio()
sets nothing, and the lru_gen_del_folio() right above it may have already
poisoned folio->lru via list_del(), so mlock_count ends up aliasing
LIST_POISON2, which reads as 0x122, i.e. 290. The result is user
visible. On munlock, __munlock_folio() decrements that bogus count, finds
it still non-zero and bails out before clearing PG_mlocked, so the folio
remains unevictable and the Mlocked accounting stays inflated until the
folio is freed.
The shortcut also touches the LRU flags in the wrong order. It calls
lru_gen_del_folio() while PG_lru is still set, so a concurrent
folio_test_clear_lru() (e.g. compaction, folio_isolate_lru()) can succeed
on a folio that has already been taken off the generation list, which may
lead to unexpected behavior.
So fix it by isolating them as common folios and letting the generic
shrink path cull them. This matches the classical LRU behavior, and there
should be no visible effect on the generic eviction or isolation behavior.
There is no performance concern either, such a folio goes through this
once, and then it is off the generation lists for good.

We are currently dropping the anon_vma write lock before unmapping the
PTE. Although this is safe, due to us still holding the mmap_write_lock,
its safer and less confusing to switch the order of these two operations.

Fix comment in collapse_scan_pmd() that still described the old
folio_mapcount() > folio_ref_count() check and a "512" false-positive
scenario. The code now uses folio_expected_ref_count() !=
folio_ref_count() which doesn't suffer from the same limitation.
Fix comment in collapse_huge_page() that referenced ptep_clear_flush, when
the code actually uses pmdp_collapse_flush.
Fix comment in __collapse_huge_page_swapin() that referenced the old
function name khugepaged_scan_pmd, now collapse_scan_pmd.
Also clean up some simple typos and stale terminology (mmap_sem ->
mmap_lock, PG_lock -> folio lock, page -> folio, grammar).
We also clarify a comment regarding where the max_ptes_none check is
deferred to in mthp_collapse() from the original collapse_scan_pmd check.
Update all comments that references a function to include parentheses.

This change deduplicates the "is this PTE/folio referenced enough to be
considered for a collapse" condition that was repeated in both
__collapse_huge_page_isolate() and collapse_scan_pmd(), extracting it into
a single inline helper function.
Also move the comment and use it as the function header. While we are at
it, updated the comment to clarify that a young pte is a recently accessed
one.

collapse_control_init_scan()
Patch series "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups", v4.
The following changes stem from a number of reviews during my khugepaged
mTHP support series [1]. Some of these are minor code cleanups, issues or
reviews that we decided to deferred to a followup series, or in the case
of the more major patch of the series, changes [2] Lance Yang attempted
while my series was in-flight and we decided to wait till later to try.
The first 3 patches introduce helper functions to increase code reuse and
readability. This includes a per-scan state clearing function, extracting
the young page check into a helper, and a count_collapse_event() function
to reduce a repetative pattern used across mTHP collapse.
The 4th patch was the byproduct of me throwing Claude at all the comments
in khugepaged verifying and looking for any outdated info.
The 5th patch is based on Lance Yang's commit series [2] trying to extract
the PTE state checking into a helper function. This required a bit of
rewriting due to differences after mTHP collapse was introduced. I also
took into account the changes requested during his patches review cycle.
The remaining 2 patches were review points during my mTHP series that we
agreed can be deferred to a later series.
Thank you to those whos reviews and work I leveraged to achieve these
cleanups.
This patch (of 6):
Extract the repeated clearing of node_load, alloc_nmask, and
mthp_present_ptes into a helper to reduce duplication in
collapse_scan_pmd() and collapse_scan_file(). Althought file scans do not
current use the bitmap, they will in the future, and clearing it now is
harmless.

lru_gen_look_around() feeds its local 'young' counter into
suitable_to_scan(), which decides whether the current PMD is added to
the bloom filter and checked again on the next aging round.
The folio triggering the look-around is processed at function entry:
test_and_clear_young_ptes_notify() clears the accessed bits of the nr PTEs
it maps, and the function bails out if none of them is young. The loop
that follows therefore never recounts this folio, since its accessed bits
are already cleared. Every other young folio the loop finds is accounted
as a batch (young += nr), where nr is the number of consecutive PTEs it
maps. The triggering folio, however, still contributes a fixed young = 1
regardless of its size -- a leftover from before PTE batching. A large
triggering folio is thus accounted inconsistently with the rest of the
window.
Initialize young to nr so the triggering folio is accounted the same way
as any other young folio batch in the loop.
Note this is a deliberate overestimate, not a measured value. The
test-and-clear helper only reports whether any of the nr PTEs is young,
not how many were accessed, so the true number of accessed PTEs in a large
folio is unknown and can be smaller than nr. Counting the full batch is
intentional: the mm core tracks accessed/dirty state per folio, not per
page, so a per-page count is neither obtainable nor meaningful. The only
consumer is suitable_to_scan(), and the bloom filter it feeds tolerates
error. Overestimating is also the safe direction: at worst a PMD that saw
little access is rescanned, whereas underestimating could skip rescanning
a PMD whose folios are still hot and reclaim them incorrectly. (nr here
is the PTE batch size, not necessarily folio_nr_pages().)

quarantine_size tracks the total number of bytes stored in
global_quarantine[]. It is incremented when per-CPU quarantine objects
are moved into the global quarantine and decremented when a global batch
is evicted by kasan_quarantine_reduce().
kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() also removes objects from the global
quarantine. qlist_move_cache() rebuilds the source batch and updates its
.bytes field, but quarantine_size is not adjusted accordingly.
As a result, quarantine_size remains over-counted by the size of the
removed objects. The stale accounting accumulates across cache removals.
Once the inflated value exceeds quarantine_max_size,
kasan_quarantine_reduce() can evict a batch even though the actual number
of bytes in global_quarantine[] is still below quarantine_max_size,
shortening the quarantine window.
Fix the accounting by recording each batch's size before
qlist_move_cache() and subtracting the number of bytes actually removed
from quarantine_size while holding quarantine_lock.
A KUnit reproducer used during testing observed the over-count grow by
4698864 bytes after one kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() call with the fix
reverted. With this change applied, the over-count did not grow.

Currently swap to and from file systems goes through two indirect calls
between the swap ops and the swap_rw method. Reduce this by directly
providing the swap_ops from the file system.
For this refactor swap_fs_submit into a swap_fs_prepare_rw helper that
initializes the iov_iter on the callers stack so that file systems can
call it directly, and use that to initialize file system specific ops in
the NFS and SMB clients, which then get passed to swap_fs_activate.

Add a new header to declare the swap_iocb, swap_ops and swap_ctx to allow
for swap_ops implementations outside of mm/page_io.c. This will be used
to remove the double indirection for file system-based swap. There is no
functional change, just a move of the declarations.
Note that there already is a swapops.h header, which is totally unrelated
to struct swap_ops. The close naming is a bit unfortunate, but I could
not think of a better name for this header.

Patch series "swap_ops updates", v2.
This series is a follow on to the swap ops series now in mm-unstable.
The first patch reintroduces direct folio writes for synchronous
swap files, the other two remove the double indirect for file
system based swap.
This patch (of 3):
Kairui Song reported that zram benefits from submitting each folio
directly instead of batching up I/O because the classic LRU scanning
benefits from clearing the folio writeback bit in the scan loop.
Accommodate that by kicking off writes for synchronous devices for each
iteration.

zs_lookup_class_index() lets zram recompression decide whether a newly
compressed object would use a smaller size class. It currently classifies
the payload size directly, while zs_malloc() adds ZS_HANDLE_SIZE before
selecting the class.
This makes lookup disagree with allocation near size-class boundaries.
With 4 KiB pages, CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_CHAIN_SIZE=8, and 64-bit handles, a
1025-to-1024-byte recompression appears to move from class 64 to class 62
although both allocations use class 64. Conversely, a 1049-to-1025-byte
recompression appears to stay in class 64 although the allocations move
from class 65 to class 64.
As a result, zram can accept replacements with no allocation benefit or
reject ones that would save memory, potentially marking the object
incompressible.
Factor size-class selection into lookup_size_class(), account for the
handle there, and use the helper for both lookup and allocation.

We have had bugs where set_page_dirty() was used on a page from GUP
without appropriate locking, leading to UAF, in:
- KVM, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260810-x86-kvm-setpagedirty-v1-1-85f180892d4f@google.com
- i915, see commit 0d4bbe3d407f ("drm/i915/userptr: Try to acquire the
page lock around set_page_dirty()").
- VMCI, see commit 5a16c535409f ("VMCI: Use set_page_dirty_lock() when
unregistering guest memory")
- kpc2000 staging driver, see commit b6d13bd9f2c1 ("staging: kpc2000:
kpc_dma: Convert set_page_dirty() --> set_page_dirty_lock()")
I think set_page_dirty() and folio_mark_dirty() need more explicit
documentation on how they should be used with pages from GUP; so add a
comment on top of set_page_dirty() and make the comment above
folio_mark_dirty() more explicit.

Patch series "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose
kernels", v2.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is set, which means the host is in
auto scan mode, set min_unref_scans to 2, avoiding false positives.
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_AUTO_SCAN,
so a kernel built with it already runs the scan thread periodically and
the user has asked for detailed leak reports.
The confirming second scan comes for free there, so default
min_unref_scans to 2 in that case and keep it at 1 everywhere else.
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE defaults to n, so nothing changes for
kernels that do not opt in.
The other two patches bring the documentation and the selftest comments
in line with the new conditional default.
PS: A similar patch (v1 of this patchset) is applied to Meta's kernel,
in real production hosts.
This patch (of 3):
min_unref_scans defers reporting an object as leaked until it has stayed
unreferenced for that many consecutive scans, filtering out objects that
are only transiently unreferenced during a scan.
It defaults to 1, which reports on the first unreferenced scan.
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_AUTO_SCAN,
so a kernel built with it runs the scan thread periodically and the user
has opted into detailed leak reporting. A second confirming scan then
happens on its own.
Default min_unref_scans to 2 there to suppress transient false positives,
and keep it at 1 otherwise, where a manually triggered scan is expected to
report immediately. The value stays writable through the module
parameter.
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE defaults to n, so this does not change the
default for kernels that do not opt in.

The reporting loop in kmemleak_scan() decided whether to tag an object as
a reported leak with a four-term compound condition whose last operand
also had a side effect (++object->unref_scans). Mixing the candidate
tests with the counter update made the check hard to read.
Move the state transition into confirm_leak(): it returns true when a
still-unreferenced suspect crosses min_unref_scans consecutive scans and
is newly flagged OBJECT_REPORTED, leaving only the reporting bookkeeping
in the caller. No functional change.

kmemleak reports an object the first scan it is found unreferenced. Its
mark phase runs without stopping the rest of the kernel and without a
write barrier, so a live object whose only reference is briefly invisible
during a concurrent RCU update -- e.g. a VMA moved between maple tree
nodes, or a page-cache xa_node -- can be seen as unreferenced for that one
scan. Because an object is flagged as reported only once, such a
transient race turns into a permanent false positive.
Track how many consecutive scans each object has been seen unreferenced
and only report it once that reaches min_unref_scans, a new module
parameter. It defaults to 1, leaving the behaviour unchanged; setting it
higher (e.g. 2) still reports a genuine leak, one scan later, while an
object referenced again before the threshold restarts its run and is never
reported.
min_unref_scans can be set at boot with kmemleak.min_unref_scans=<n> or at
run-time via /sys/module/kmemleak/parameters/min_unref_scans.

Patch series "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming
leaks".
This series combines two kmemleak enhancements that were originally
submitted separately but both required rebasing after commit 79c37ae3733e9
("mm/kmemleak: fix checksum computation for per-cpu objects").
The first feature introduces a second scan to confirm suspected leaks:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260709173347.689607-1-catalin.marinas@arm.com/
The second feature adds a module parameter controlling the minimum number
of consecutive unreferenced scans before a leak is reported, as discussed
in:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260626-kmemleak_twice-v1-0-ab28f7cc0971@debian.org/
Changes from v1:
Now that commit 79c37ae3733e9 is upstream, the selftest includes an additional
priming phase scan as requested by Catalin.
Additionally, I've factored out the leak-detection conditional into a helper
function to be more digestible for the reader's eye.
This 4-patch series resolves all outstanding kmemleak issues I've been
tracking.
This patch (of 4):
The kmemleak marking phase is not atomic. While the object graph is
traversed, the kernel can modify pointers, free objects or allocate new
ones. If a reference to an object is moved from one location to another,
kmemleak scanning may miss it. We have explicit annotations like
kmemleak_transient_leak() but identifying and maintaining them is not
trivial.
Given that such transient leaks are short-lived, rather than just
reporting such objects as leaks, do another scan to confirm the suspected
objects. If no new leaks are found during the first scan, skip the
confirmation one.

The pin longterm test currently stores its data globally, shared among
multiple concurrent users of the interface (multiple open file descriptors
-> multiple "struct file"'s). That makes the gup_test interface
problematic to use concurrently: two users, such as concurrent selftest
runs, can interfere with the same longterm pin state.
While this has not been observed as a problem so far in practice, let's
just handle it cleanly. There could be a way to trigger selftest failures
by e.g., running the cow.c and gup_longerm.c selftests concurrently, but
we usually run them sequentially. Let's add a "Fixes" tag to be safe, but
not need to CC stable.

kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() first invokes per_cpu_remove_cache() on
all online CPUs. Each callback moves objects belonging to the cache from
cpu_quarantine to the CPU's shrink_qlist, where they can later be freed
from task context.
kmem_cache_destroy() invokes the quarantine removal path while holding
cpus_read_lock(), but kmem_cache_shrink() does not. The latter can
therefore race with CPU offlining as follows:
kmem_cache_shrink() CPU hotplug
------------------- -----------
on_each_cpu()
CPU1 moves objects to
CPU1's shrink_qlist
on_each_cpu() returns
CPU1 goes offline
kasan_cpu_offline()
drains cpu_quarantine
leaves shrink_qlist untouched
for_each_online_cpu()
skips CPU1
The objects left on CPU1's shrink_qlist are not returned to the slab
allocator. This may prevent kmem_cache_shrink() from releasing slabs that
would otherwise become empty. If CPU1 remains offline, a later
kmem_cache_destroy() also skips the list and can report that the cache
still contains objects.
An intermittent occurrence was observed with a virtio-9p filesystem. The
mount and umount commands both returned 0, but the kernel logged the
following during the userspace-triggered teardown:
[ 2994.380134][ T111] BUG 9p-fcall-cache-1 (Tainted: G B ): Objects remaining on __kmem_cache_shutdown()

Thus, a successful umount left objects in the 9p fcall cache and prevented
the cache from being destroyed cleanly.
Per-CPU shrink_qlist storage exists for every possible CPU, and each list
is protected by its own raw spinlock. Iterate over possible CPUs so that
a list populated before its CPU went offline is drained as well.
for_each_possible_cpu() can do more work than for_each_online_cpu(), but
this change only affects CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC kernels. The extra work is
limited to cache shrink and cache destruction paths and does not affect
the normal allocation/free fast path. It adds one raw-spinlock-protected
scan of each possible CPU's shrink list. These lists are normally empty;
a non-empty list is traversed to remove objects belonging to the cache
being shrunk or destroyed.

When no name is supplied, cma_new_area() generates names with format
"cma%d\n", introducing an unintended newline character ('\n') in the CMA
name.
Most CMA regions are created with explicit names, so this path is seldom
hit. The newline only creates cosmetic noise in debug logs, traces and
debugfs with no functional impact.

zswap_shrinker_count() calls mem_cgroup_flush_stats(), which takes the
global cgroup rstat lock synchronously. On machines with many CPUs and
NUMA nodes, this creates severe lock contention in the kswapd reclaim
path:
- Multiple kswapd threads (one per NUMA node) run concurrently.
- do_shrink_slab() invokes zswap_shrinker_count() for each
memcg-aware shrinker pass.
- Each call flushes the full cgroup rstat hierarchy under the global
lock.
On AMD EPYC 9684X machines (96 cores, 192 threads, 12 NUMA nodes) running
production workloads with zswap enabled, perf shows 2.88% of kernel cycles
in osq_lock contention from this path:
2.88% [k] osq_lock
--__mutex_lock.constprop.0
--__cgroup_rstat_lock
--cgroup_rstat_flush_locked
--cgroup_rstat_flush
--zswap_shrinker_count
do_shrink_slab
shrink_slab
shrink_node
balance_pgdat
kswapd
84% of kswapd kernel cycles are spent in
shrink_slab -> zswap_shrinker_count -> cgroup_rstat_flush, not in actual
page reclaim (shrink_lruvec).
Controlled A/B on identical hardware and workload:
shrinker=Y: 2.88% osq_lock, memory PSI 1.58%
shrinker=N: 0.00% osq_lock, memory PSI 0.57%
eBPF-based rstat lock wait measurement across 8 production metals
confirms the contention splits cleanly along shrinker enablement:
shrinker=Y: 50-250x more contended lock acquisitions (248/s vs 1.1/s)
shrinker=N: baseline lock wait (0.0017 s/s vs 1.04 s/s)
zswap_shrinker_count() only produces a heuristic estimate, scaled by
compression ratio via mult_frac(). The actual writeback happens in
zswap_shrinker_scan(). Slightly stale stats are acceptable here.
Switch to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(), which only flushes if
the periodic 2-second flusher is one full cycle late. This matches the
approach already used in prepare_scan_control() (mm/vmscan.c) for the
same reclaim path.
After applying this patch, rstat flush latency and lock wait time on
shrinker=Y machines dropped to the same level as shrinker=N controls,
while the zswap shrinker continues to function (pool size remains
bounded under the max_pool_percent cap).
Previously discussed:

zswap_shrinker_count [1]

flush [2]

Count how many swap I/Os we cause. Due to batching this can be different
than the current counter number of pages written/read, and tracking this
information is useful to see how efficient the batching is.
The counters are added at the end of enum vm_event_item and the
vmstat_text array under the assumption that the order of fields in
/proc/vmstat is an ABI. If that is not the case, they could be grouped
with the other swap counters.
