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. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-26-15-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (172 commits) selftests/proc: make proc-maps-race work with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC memcg: move LRU size accounting on reparenting instead of copying it mm/vmscan: fix comment logic in balance_pgdat maple_tree: add helper mas_make_walkable() maple_tree: avoid extra gap calculation maple_tree: fix argument name in header maple_tree: change two GFP flags in tests maple_tree: document erase and allocations better maple_tree: avoid mas_erase() and mtree_erase() failures maple_tree: document that erase may use GFP_KERNEL for allocations maple_tree: catch race in mas_alloc_cyclic() maple_tree: add bulk parent set helper maple_tree: micro optimisation of mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: optimise mas_wr_node_store() when not in rcu mode maple_tree: use prefetched value in mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: clarify comments on mas_nomem() maple_tree: drop MAPLE_ALLOC_SLOTS maple_tree: drop dead code from mas_extend_spanning_null() maple_tree: documentation fix maple_tree: add write lock checking with lockdep sequence numbers ...

Pull ntfs updates from Namjae Jeon: "This contains improvements to compression support, metadata handling, error propagation, and filesystem robustness. New feature: - Add optional read support for Windows System Compression (WOF) Add CONFIG_NTFS_FS_WOF_COMPRESSION and support reading WOF-compressed files through the NTFS page-read path. This includes parsing REPARSE_TAG_WOF, handling resident and non-resident WOF metadata and compressed chunks, and adding kernel-side XPRESS 4K/8K/16K and LZX 32K decompressors. The codecs use a common transparent compression interface shared with LZNT1. WOF support is read-only and disabled unless explicitly enabled. Other changes: - Harden malformed filesystem handling and error paths. Add bounds and consistency checks for mapping pairs, run lengths, MFT locations, update-sequence offsets, non-resident attributes, compressed attributes, index roots, and bitmap scans. Prevent out-of-bounds accesses in decompression, MFT allocation, and index conversion paths, clean up MFT mappings and attribute search contexts on failure, and propagate attribute and inode initialization errors correctly. - Improve compressed-file I/O path. Fix compressed writes on large-page and highmem systems, reuse compression contexts and output workspaces, avoid unnecessary reads for full-unit overwrites, and submit one bio per compressed write unit. Write replacement data before publishing the new mapping, correctly handle zero-filled compressed blocks, and fix initialized-size and folio state updates after compressed writes. - Synchronize resident reads with MFT record updates. - Validate the final EA stream size before modifying existing data, rewrite the stream safely when replacing entries, restore the previous state when metadata updates fail, and remove the EA attribute pair when the last entry is deleted. - Apply Windows filename restrictions only when windows_names is enabled. - Allow index roots to relocate to extent MFT records when the base record lacks sufficient space. - Move non-resident attribute payload data before shrinking its record. - Correct resident-to-non-resident conversion when compression or sparse flags are enabled. - Prepare file allocation and initialized-size updates before buffered or direct I/O submission, and use pagecache_isize_extended() when extending the file size. - Fix highmem and page/folio access in compressed I/O paths by using the correct local mappings and page helpers. - Apply per-file $LXMOD permissions instead of mount masks when available, and prevent unprivileged writes to reserved $LX* attributes - Update the NTFS maintainer mailing list - Small cleanups" * tag 'ntfs-for-7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linkinjeon/ntfs: (52 commits) ntfs: support resident WOF decompression ntfs: add non-resident WOF decompression ntfs: implement codec ops for LZX and XPRESS ntfs: port lzx/xpress decompressors from ntfs-3g-system-compression ntfs: return errors from inode initialization ntfs: parse REPARSE_TAG_WOF ntfs: return errors from ntfs_attr_readall ntfs: add WOF compression config option ntfs: define LZNT1 codec ops under transparent codec interface ntfs: introduce transparent compression codec interface ntfs: reject invalid empty mapping pairs ntfs: fix resource leak in ntfs_new_attr_flags ntfs: validate usa_ofs before preserving the update sequence number ntfs: fix off-by-one page overflow in ntfs_decompress() ntfs: do not update ctime when setxattr fails ntfs: reject invalid MFT LCNs from boot sector ntfs: serialize resident iomap reads with mrec_lock ntfs: verify run length exceeding volume boundary ntfs: allow index root relocation ntfs: validate non-resident attribute offsets ...

mm/swap: move swap_ops into file systems for file system-based swap

2026-08-25T01:43:20+00:00

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.

tmpfs/ramfs: let memfd_create() work on nommu

2026-08-25T01:43:01+00:00

Currently trying to use memfd_create() on nommu returns an error with errno set to EFBIG. The manpage memfd_create() doesn't have EFBIG as a possible error value. Doing some digging this is coming from 0 getting passed as newsize to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() and that getting into get_order() and there "The result is undefined if the size is 0". Whatever comes out of get_order() is then used in the following logic and that results in the EFBIG that causes the syscall to fail and the errno in userspace. If newsize is 0 there is nothing to do so just return. Roughly tested on m68k nommu by creating a process, creating an memfd, forking another process, mmap()ing the memfd in the child, writing into the mapping, then mmap()ing in the parent and checking that the right data is there.

mm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()

2026-08-25T01:42:50+00:00

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.
