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 ... 2026-08-26T23:47:40+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-26T23:47:40+00:00 urn:sha1:5e6ff28676dd92a608eb00eeb8d1319ad34024dc Pull hyperv updates from Wei Liu: - Decrypt netvsc buffer on contiguous direct-map addresses (Kameron Carr) - Drop WS2012/2012R2 & Win8/8.1 Hyper-V support (Michael Kelley) - Use more meaningful errnos for hypercall status code (Hardik Garg) - Fix lost interrupts on CPU hot-unplug for Hyper-V PCI/MSI (Naman Jain) - Reserve more MSHV vectors for Linux root partition (Wei Liu) * tag 'hyperv-next-signed-20260826' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hyperv/linux: clocksource: hyper-v: Remove support for stimer interrupts in message mode scsi: storvsc: Remove support for storvsc protocol of old Hyper-V hosts hv_netvsc: Remove GPADL teardown special case for old Hyper-V hosts hv_sock: Remove check for old Hyper-V hosts Drivers: hv: Remove support for WS2012/2012R2 & Win8/8.1 version of Hyper-V hv_netvsc: Allocate send/receive buffers using vmbus_alloc_buffer() Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add vmbus_alloc_buffer()/vmbus_free_buffer() for CoCo VMs Drivers: hv: vmbus: add vmbus_establish_gpadl_caller_decrypted() Drivers: hv: vmbus: Skip VMBus module cleanup for non-nested root partition x86/hyperv: reserve more vectors PCI: hv: Set irq_retrigger callback for the Hyper-V PCI MSI irqchip Drivers: hv: Use meaningful errnos for hypercall status codes 2026-08-26T18:14:30+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-26T18:14:30+00:00 urn:sha1:502d45774af09f1c681c754c4b7cdfb5d7f72fd9 Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd: "Mostly the usual clk driver updates and new SoC additions plus non-critical data fixes for things that weren't used yet. One thing that's new here in the core is SSC spread spectrum support (SSC) in the clk provider API. The idea is that DT authors will configure SSC for certain clks and they'll be configured at clk provider registration time or when a consumer device is probed, similar to how we handle assigned clk rates or parents. On the clk driver side we have Qualcomm adding almost half the diff because they add support for 4 different SoCs and then a long tail of other SoCs like Mediatek, Renesas, Rockchip, SpaceMiT, etc. add more SoC support this time around. Luckily it's mostly clk data for these new SoCs because the actual clk_ops are already there. Beyond the new drivers we get all the little fixups for more compilation coverage or usage of more modern APIs. That all looks normal. Finally, I kinda buried the lede, I'm bringing on Brian and Jerome to help out with maintaining the clk subsystem. The current working model is already semi-distributed in that silicon vendors typically take care of their drivers and send me pull requests but I'm becoming a bottleneck for new drivers and core framework review because this has become a 100% volunteer effort on my part. Mike is stepping down after all these years (thanks Mike!) and that jump started the conversation around finding co-maintainers. Brian and Jerome have graciously offered to help me with the work load, meaning in the future they'll be sending pull requests and committing directly to the clk.git tree. They've both been around on the list for a while, I've met them both in person, and they've been making changes to the core clk framework along with helping review patches so I'm pretty confident this will work well.

Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards supporting XS/XU memory permissions - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating IRQCHIPs on x86 - Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init(). It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode - Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for a very, very long time - Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field itself - Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging - Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs - Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs - Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM - Use static calls for nested virtualization ops - Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h - Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't require explicit virtualization - Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS* path - Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking references - Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats x86 (Intel): - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID - Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with the same L2 VPID - Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that support CPUID 0x15 - Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware TLBs - Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion x86 (AMD): - Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to a Page-State Change request - Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free - While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing, nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE, and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins (This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see commit ee1a586dd1fa "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region registration") - Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP specs) - Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT - Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion Generic: - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's debugfs - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs) - Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks to prepare for in-place private<=>shared conversion, and clean up a few warts along the way Selftests: - Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86 instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI - Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's mediated PMU - Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2<=>L1 transitions, reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX - Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state, e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active - Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES - Misc selftests fixes and cleanups - Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest code - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and CPU affinity APIs - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM for each sub-testcase.

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.
