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 ...

drivers/base, mm: move arch_numa.c to mm/

2026-08-25T01:43:10+00:00

arch_numa.c implements boot time discovery and initialization of NUMA topology on architectures that select GENERIC_ARCH_NUMA (currently arm64 and riscv). Since this is step in the initialization of the memory management subsystem, it's logical to have arch_numa.c in mm/ alongside numa.c, numa_memblks.c and numa_emulation.c. Move arch_numa.c to mm/ and add its F: entry to "MEMBLOCK AND MEMORY MANAGEMENT INITIALIZATION" in MAINTAINERS.

base: Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol

2026-07-18T14:07:22+00:00

Commit d72277b6c37db66b ("dma-buf: nuke DMA_FENCE_TRACE macros v2") in v5.16 removed all users of DMA_FENCE_TRACE on the premise that the Kconfig symbol did not exist. Apparently one failed to notice the symbol did exist since almost five years before: it was renamed from FENCE_TRACE to DMA_FENCE_TRACE in commit f54d1867005c3323 ("dma-buf: Rename struct fence to dma_fence") in v4.10. Time passed by, so remove the Kconfig symbol, as no one seems to have missed the functionality.

driver core: Make deferred_probe_timeout default a Kconfig option

2026-03-30T18:45:27+00:00

Code using driver_deferred_probe_check_state() differs from most EPROBE_DEFER handling in the kernel. Where other EPROBE_DEFER handling (e.g. clks, gpios and regulators) waits indefinitely for suppliers to show up, code using driver_deferred_probe_check_state() will fail after the deferred_probe_timeout. This is a problem for generic distro kernels which want to support many boards using a single kernel build. These kernels want as much drivers to be modular as possible. The initrd also should be as small as possible, so the initrd will *not* have drivers not needing to get the rootfs. Combine this with waiting for a full-disk encryption password in the initrd and it is pretty much guaranteed that the default 10s timeout will be hit, causing probe() failures when drivers on the rootfs happen to get modprobe-d before other rootfs modules providing their suppliers. Make the default timeout configurable from Kconfig to allow distro kernel configs where many of the supplier drivers are modules to set the default through Kconfig.

PM: runtime: Add basic kunit tests for API contracts

2025-09-27T11:41:47+00:00

In exploring the various return codes and failure modes of runtime PM APIs, I found it helpful to verify and codify many of them in unit tests, especially given that even the kerneldoc can be rather complex to reason through, and it also has had subtle errors of its own. Notably, I avoid testing the return codes for pm_runtime_put() and pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(), since code that checks them is probably wrong, and we're considering making them return 'void' altogether. I still test the sync() variants, since those have a bit more meaning to them. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

arch_numa: switch over to numa_memblks

2024-09-04T04:15:32+00:00

Until now arch_numa was directly translating firmware NUMA information to memblock. Using numa_memblks as an intermediate step has a few advantages: * alignment with more battle tested x86 implementation * availability of NUMA emulation * maintaining node information for not yet populated memory Adjust a few places in numa_memblks to compile with 32-bit phys_addr_t and replace current functionality related to numa_add_memblk() and __node_distance() in arch_numa with the implementation based on numa_memblks and add functions required by numa_emulation.

devtmpfs: mount with noexec and nosuid

2021-12-30T12:54:42+00:00

devtmpfs is writable. Add the noexec and nosuid as default mount flags to prevent code execution from /dev. The systems who don't use systemd and who rely on CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y are the ones to be protected by this patch. Other systems are fine with the udev solution. No sane program should be relying on executing from /dev. So this patch reduces the attack surface. It doesn't prevent any specific attack, but it reduces the possibility that someone can use /dev as a place to put executable code. Chrome OS has been carrying this patch for several years. It seems trivial and simple solution to improve the protection of /dev when CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y.
