These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor 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. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce 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. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue 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. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor 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. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean 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. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address 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. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix 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. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update 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. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify 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. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean 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(). - "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. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ... 2026-08-20T20:00:40+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-20T20:00:40+00:00 urn:sha1:50c44fea13ec339d0d457079b254e8c8420d6511 Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba: "This is the summer edition of btrfs changes, smaller than usual. Yet, there are performance improvements in various areas or for specific workloads and some notable changes like removing space cache v1 code or mount option reduction. User visible changes: - free space v1 disabled by default; the v2 (free space tree) is mkfs default since 5.15, filesystems with v1 still work but could be slightly slower due to lack of block group caching - mount option 'rescue=usebackuproot' requires read-only mount, it's too risky to allow writable mount - remove standalone mount option 'usebackuproot', deprecated in 5.9 - preserve constraints of NODATASUM and NODATACOW when chattr and mount options may change the attributes - remove arbitrary limitation of 4KiB for page size when allowing block sizes smaller than page - print messages when pinned block groups affect swap activation Performance improvements: - use iomap bounce buffer for direct io instead of a fall back to buffered io; past correctness vs speed trade-offs dropped performance to ~50% of theoretical maximum, now it's ~95%, effectively doubled - replace xarray with local LRU list for tracking inhibited extent buffers, restored performance to pre-inhibition state (relatively ~3x) - remove unnecessary 1 jiffy delay in "non-SSD" mode with multiple logging tasks, decrease latency, throughput increased ~5x on sample workload - skip hole detection during full fsync for files without holes and lots of extents, reduce run time ~5x on sample workload (microsecond ranges) - reduce locking around extent readahead so it does not slow down other tasks using an overlapping range - enhance extent buffer allocation modes to allow NOWAIT semantics in some cases Notable fixes: - write-protect folios during writeback, prevent concurrent mmap and compress/checksumming/etc undesired interactions - in zoned mode, handle transient overcommit full instead of going read-only - fix possible deadlock between defragmentation and delayed allocation reservations - handle remaining iputs at umount time - fix lockdep warning between device scan locking and log mutex - add workaround for degenerate RAID56 device count modes (2 and 3) not supported by the parity calculation library - restore check that subvolume is not read-only when changing ACLs - retry reading verity data colliding with up-to-date status changes Core: - simplify raid56 stripe handling by using contiguous virtual allocations - in zoned mode, fix various metadata write issues in writeback or unmount - space reservation fixes - remove unused data structure members - more auto-freeing conversions - error pointer values are printed using %pe format" * tag 'for-7.3-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: (72 commits) btrfs: skip hole detection during full fsync for files without holes btrfs: add extra ASSERT()s to make sure the folio size is correct btrfs: use GFP_NOWAIT for tree block readahead btrfs: enable unlocked NOFAIL retry for eb allocations btrfs: add struct btrfs_eb_prealloc btrfs: factor init_extent_buffer from __alloc_extent_buffer btrfs: qgroup: fix a wrong length calculation in qgroup_free_reserved_data() btrfs: add validation for extent states btrfs: use aligned range for locking in reflink btrfs: use aligned range for locking in extent_fiemap() btrfs: zoned: don't clobber the extent buffer when zeroing it out btrfs: zoned: drop stranded dirty metadata buffers at unmount btrfs: zoned: drop stranded dirty metadata on transaction abort btrfs: zoned: flush active metadata block group at btree_writepages() start btrfs: convert reflink.c to use btrfs_inode as parameters btrfs: use simple booleans for log_commit field in struct btrfs_root btrfs: check for exit condition after waking in wait_log_commit() btrfs: move condition for log commit wait into wait_log_commit() btrfs: remove log batch counter use for fsync btrfs: stop sleeping for one jiffy in non-ssd mounts during log commit ... 2026-08-20T18:01:37+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-20T18:01:37+00:00 urn:sha1:11260c335ec6071af5543aef73000b28f041c124 Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo: "Most of this cycle completes the enqueue-path support for hierarchical sub-scheduling, which makes sub-scheduler support feature complete: a root BPF scheduler can now hand a cgroup subtree over to a nested sub-scheduler together with revocable CPU grants, and the sub-scheduler owns all scheduling decisions for its tasks on those CPUs. Development volume was high and a number of changes plugging holes in the new support landed late in the cycle. Also included are core scheduling fixes that were completed too late for the v7.2 release and are routed through this pull request. Sub-scheduler CPU delegation: - Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities (enqueueing, preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children, enforced on every path a scheduler can reach a CPU through. Previously only dispatching could be delegated; this lets sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs. - Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the CPUs the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected the whole scheduler. The kernel now runs such tasks directly on a small bandwidth budget, turning a scheduler-killing failure into bounded degradation. - Cgroup integration: tasks migrating across a sub-scheduler boundary weren't re-homed to the new owner, causing wrong-scheduler scheduling and a use-after-free. Sub-schedulers now take over their cgroup subtree and receive its cgroup callbacks. - Arena objects now cross the kernel/BPF boundary as typed pointer arguments, translated transparently by the BPF tree's new arena argument support, replacing untyped arguments with manual translation. - scx_qmap now demonstrates full hierarchical sub-scheduling. Other fixes and updates: - Robustness improvements: the abort path is now NMI-safe, fixing deadlocks when errors are raised from NMI context and making hardlockup recovery direct. Reenqueue loops that could monopolize a CPU ahead of the watchdog now eject the offending scheduler, and stalls are blamed on the scheduler actually responsible. - Hardening: BPF-writable arena memory is validated before kernel use, and task slice and vtime writes got explicit synchronization rules, closing corruption vectors open to buggy or malicious schedulers. - Core scheduling: sched_ext dispatching can drop the rq lock inside the core-wide pick, which let interleaving selections corrupt each other's state and hard-hang the machine. The selection now restarts when the lock was released. The task ordering callback was also invoked with its arguments swapped, and the default ordering is updated to work across sub-scheduler boundaries. The fixes are marked for stable. - Other fixes headed for stable: a task init leak on fork failure during enable, tooling compat macros that silently failed to detect newer kernels, and a crash on reenqueueing against a destroyed dispatch queue. - Tooling: scx_pair moves off deprecated callbacks, and the deprecated scx_bpf_cpu_rq() kfunc is removed" * tag 'sched_ext-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext: (144 commits) sched_ext: Drop the dead SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC test in dequeue_task_scx() sched_ext: Make core-sched task ordering hierarchy-aware sched_ext: Use runnable_at for the default core-sched task ordering sched_ext: Fix inverted ops.core_sched_before() invocation sched_ext: Move the config-off sub-cap kfunc stubs into sub.c sched_ext: Rename balance-era identifiers to dispatch terms sched_ext: Drop the stale keep_prev fixup in dispatch_pick() sched_ext: Keep kick_sync waiting on the rq's own CPU sched_ext: Make SCHED_CLASS_EXT select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR sched_ext/scx_flatcg: Fix cvtime true-up on slice expiry sched_ext: Don't BUG_ON a destroyed DSQ in process_deferred_reenq_users sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local___v2 compat detection sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_events() read the calling scheduler's counters sched_ext: Drop unlocked scx_rq_clock_invalidate() from scx_root_disable() selftests/sched_ext: Fix flaky ddsp failure tests on busy systems selftests/sched_ext: Make numa idle validation race-free sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_reenq___compat kfunc extern prototype sched_ext/scx_flatcg: expire cached hweights on weight changes sched_ext: Fix exit_task leak on fork failure during enable sched_ext: fix stale references in doc comments ... 2026-08-20T15:16:04+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2026-08-20T15:16:04+00:00 urn:sha1:91ec2035134982b98fab0609a9fd8480e8217dc1 Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust... Core & protocols: - A few steps lowering rtnl_lock dependence: - per-netns netdev unregistration for select SW drivers (e.g. veth, ipvlan, tunnels) - rtnl_lock-less FIB rule changes (RTM_NEWRULE and RTM_DELRULE) -

Expose btf_ids to trace events In order to allow BPF programs to attach to system call trace events (which are actually pseudo trace events built on top of raw_syscall events), expose the BTF ID of the events. This will allow BPF programs better precision in attaching to events. - Use "u64" to assign to hist_field->type Instead of using kstrdup("u64", GFP_KERNEL) to assign the hist_field->type, just point it to "u64" instead. The hist_field->type is freed via kfree_const(). - Replace kmalloc()/strcpy() with kstrdup() for trace_printk Instead of having two calls to copy the module format string, just use kstrdup(). - Use __free() in trace event histograms and triggres where possible - Use seq_buf in trace event code instead of strcat() Instead of calculating the size of the buffer to use and filling it with strcat(), use the seq_buf infrastructure that takes care of making sure not to overflow the string size. - Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity The preempt_delay_test module can take an invalid CPU affinity mask and create confusing output. Simply have the module reject invalid affinity masks. - Prevent division by zero in ftrace_ops sample module code If the ftrace_ops sample module code receives the module parameter nr_function_calls set to zero, it can cause a division by zero error. - Warn when an event dereferences a parameter in TP_printk() On boot up and module load, the trace event TP_printk() is scanned for possible bugs. As the TP_printk() code is executed when the user reads the "trace" file and processes the data written when the trace_event executed, the data it reads can be literally days old. The scan currently checks for dereferencing printk formats like "%pI6". But it does not check if the parameters themselves have a dereference like: TP_printk("offset %08x: value %08x", (u32)(__entry->addr - __entry->edma->membase), __entry->value) __entry represents the pointer to the event on the ring buffer. The __entry->edma->membase is dereferencing a pointer on the ring buffer to find membase, but the __entry->edma may no longer be a valid pointer. Warn on this case too. - Replace some strcpy() with strscpy() - Clean up mmiotrace events to use assign_type() macro The assign_type() macro makes sure the event type is indeed the type that is being parsed. The mmiotrace trace was written before that macro was created so it just simply typecasted the pointer. Replace the typecasting with the macro. - Have the ENUM processing to numbers only process what is added The code that converts ENUMs to their numbers in the trace events scanned all events to do the processing. This was true when a module was loaded too. That is, instead of processing just the events for the module, it processed *all* events. Even the builtin ones that were processed at boot up. Add a check for the event->module matching mod if it is a module before processing it. * tag 'trace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (21 commits) tracing: Have trace_event_update_all() only handle module that is loading tracing: Cleanup event_enable_trigger_parse() by using __free() tracing: Report every TP_printk double dereference tracing/mmiotrace: Use trace_assign_type() in mmio_print_mark() tracing: Make per-template BTF id lists file-local tracing: Use seq_buf for string concatenation tracing: Use strscpy() instead of strcpy() in trace_sched_switch tracing: Warn when an event dereferences a pointer in TP_printk() samples/ftrace: Prevent division by zero when nr_function_calls is zero tracing: Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity fgraph: Use trace_seq_putc() in print_graph_return() tracing/user_events: Replace a seq_printf() call by seq_puts() in user_seq_show() tracing/user_events: Use seq_putc() in two functions tracing: Bound histogram expression strings with seq_buf tracing: Return ERR_PTR() from expr_str() tracing: Use __free() for expr_str() buffer kernel/trace/trace_printk: Use kstrdup() instead of kmalloc() and strcpy() tracing: Point constant hist field type to string literal selftests/bpf: Add test for tracepoint btf_ids tracefs file tracing: Expose tracepoint BTF ids via tracefs ...
