git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab Pull more slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - Introduce and wire up a new alloc_flags parameter for modifying slab-specific behavior without adding or reusing gfp flags. Also introduce slab_alloc_context to keep function parameter bloat in check. Both are similar to what the page allocator does. kmalloc_flags() exposes alloc_flags for mm-internal users. - SLAB_ALLOC_NOLOCK flag is used to implement kmalloc_nolock() behavior without relying on lack of __GFP_RECLAIM, which caused false positives with workarounds like fd3634312a04 ("debugobject: Make it work with deferred page initialization - again"). - SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE replaces __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT, which could have been removed, but pending memory allocation profiling changes in mm tree have grown a new user - there is however a work ongoing to replace that too, so __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT should eventually be removed.

2026-06-15mm/slab: pass alloc_flags through slab_post_alloc_hook() chainVlastimil Babka (SUSE)
Convert the whole following call stack to pass either slab_alloc_context (thus including alloc_flags) or just alloc_flags as necessary: slab_post_alloc_hook() alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook() __alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook() prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook() alloc_slab_obj_exts() memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() __memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() alloc_slab_obj_exts() Converting all these at once avoids unnecessary churn and is mostly mechanical. This ultimately allows to decide if spinning is allowed using alloc_flags in alloc_slab_obj_exts(), as well as slab_post_alloc_hook(). Aside from alloc_from_pcs_bulk() (to be handled next) there is nothing else in slab itself relying on gfpflags_allow_spinning() which can be false even if not called from kmalloc_nolock(). A followup change will also use the alloc_flags availability in the call stack above to remove the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT flag. For alloc_slab_obj_exts(), also replace the suboptimal "bool new_slab" parameter with a SLAB_ALLOC_NEW_SLAB flag with identical functionality. To further reduce the number of parameters of slab_post_alloc_hook(), also make 'struct list_lru *lru' (which is NULL for most callers) a new field of slab_alloc_context.

2026-06-08mm: switch deferred split shrinker to list_lruJohannes Weiner
The deferred split queue handles cgroups in a suboptimal fashion. The queue is per-NUMA node or per-cgroup, not the intersection. That means on a cgrouped system, a node-restricted allocation entering reclaim can end up splitting large pages on other nodes: alloc/unmap deferred_split_folio() list_add_tail(memcg->split_queue) set_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id) for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask(restricted_nodes) mem_cgroup_iter() shrink_slab(node, memcg) shrink_slab_memcg(node, memcg) if test_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id) deferred_split_scan() walks memcg->split_queue The shrinker bit adds an imperfect guard rail. As soon as the cgroup has a single large page on the node of interest, all large pages owned by that memcg, including those on other nodes, will be split. list_lru properly sets up per-node, per-cgroup lists. As a bonus, it streamlines a lot of the list operations and reclaim walks. It's used widely by other major shrinkers already. Convert the deferred split queue as well. The list_lru per-memcg heads are instantiated on demand when the first object of interest is allocated for a cgroup, by calling folio_memcg_alloc_deferred(). Add calls to where splittable pages are created: anon faults, swapin faults, khugepaged collapse. These calls create all possible node heads for the cgroup at once, so the migration code (between nodes) doesn't need any special care.

2026-06-04memcg: multi objcg charge supportShakeel Butt
Commit 01b9da291c49 ("mm: memcontrol: convert objcg to be per-memcg per-node type") split a memcg's single obj_cgroup into one per NUMA node so that reparenting LRU folios can take per-node lru locks. As a side effect, the per-CPU obj_stock_pcp -- which caches exactly one cached_objcg -- thrashes on workloads where threads of the same memcg run on different NUMA nodes. The kernel test robot reported a 67.7% regression on stress-ng.switch.ops_per_sec from this pattern. Mirror the multi-slot pattern already used by memcg_stock_pcp: turn nr_bytes and cached_objcg into NR_OBJ_STOCK-element arrays, scan all slots on consume/refill/account, prefer empty slots when inserting, and evict a slot round-robin only when full. With multiple slots a CPU can hold the per-node objcg variants of one memcg plus a few siblings without ever forcing a drain. A single int8_t index records which slot the cached slab stats belong to; the stats are flushed on slot or pgdat change. With NR_OBJ_STOCK = 5 the layout (verified with pahole) is: offset 0 : lock(1) + index(1) + node_id(2) + slab stats(4) = 8B offset 8 : nr_bytes[5] = 10B offset 18 : padding = 6B offset 24 : cached[5] = 40B offset 64 : (line 2) work_struct + flags (cold) so consume_obj_stock, refill_obj_stock and the slab account path each touch exactly one 64-byte cache line on non-debug 64-bit builds.

2026-06-04memcg: int16_t for cached slab statsShakeel Butt
Currently struct obj_stock_pcp stores cached slab stats in 'int' which is 4 bytes per counter on 64-bit machines. Switch them to int16_t to shrink the cached metadata. The existing PAGE_SIZE flush in __account_obj_stock() bounds *bytes at PAGE_SIZE on 4KiB and 16KiB page archs, well within int16_t. On 64KiB pages PAGE_SIZE is well above S16_MAX so that flush never fires, and a sufficiently long run of accumulations would overflow the cache. Add an explicit S16_MAX guard before each add: when the next add would push abs(*bytes) past S16_MAX, fold the cached value into @nr and flush directly via mod_objcg_mlstate() before the accumulation.

2026-06-04memcg: uint16_t for nr_bytes in obj_stock_pcpShakeel Butt
Currently struct obj_stock_pcp stores nr_bytes in an 'unsigned int' which is 4 bytes on 64-bit machines. Switch the field to uint16_t to shrink the per-CPU cache. The kernel supports PAGE_SIZE_4KB, _8KB, _16KB, _32KB, _64KB and _256KB (see HAVE_PAGE_SIZE_* in arch/Kconfig). After the PAGE_SIZE-aligned flush in __refill_obj_stock(), the sub-page remainder fits in uint16_t up through 64KiB pages where PAGE_SIZE - 1 == U16_MAX, but on 256KiB pages PAGE_SIZE - 1 == 0x3FFFF exceeds U16_MAX. The accumulator also needs to stay within uint16_t between page-aligned flushes on 64KiB pages where PAGE_SIZE itself is U16_MAX + 1. Accumulate the new total in an 'unsigned int' local, then on PAGE_SHIFT <= 16 flush whenever the accumulator would hit U16_MAX; together with the existing allow_uncharge flush at PAGE_SIZE this keeps the uint16_t safe. On configs with PAGE_SHIFT > 16 (PAGE_SIZE_256KB on hexagon and powerpc 44x, both 32-bit), uint16_t cannot represent the sub-page remainder. Define obj_stock_bytes_t as 'unsigned int' on those archs so nr_bytes can hold the full remainder and the normal page-boundary flush in __refill_obj_stock() and the page extraction in drain_obj_stock() both work correctly. The single-cache-line layout target only applies to PAGE_SHIFT <= 16; those archs are 32-bit embedded and not the optimization target.

2026-06-04memcg: store node_id instead of pglist_data pointerShakeel Butt
Patch series "memcg: shrink obj_stock_pcp and cache multiple objcgs", v3. Commit 01b9da291c49 ("mm: memcontrol: convert objcg to be per-memcg per-node type") split a memcg's single obj_cgroup into one per NUMA node so that reparenting LRU folios can take per-node lru locks. As a side effect, the per-CPU obj_stock_pcp -- which caches a single cached_objcg pointer -- thrashes on workloads where threads of the same memcg run on different NUMA nodes. The kernel test robot reported a 67.7% regression on stress-ng.switch.ops_per_sec from this pattern. Commit d0211878ce06 ("memcg: cache obj_stock by memcg, not by objcg pointer") landed as a temporary fix by treating sibling per-node objcgs as equivalent for the cache lookup, intended to be reverted once per-node kmem accounting is introduced. This series takes a more general approach: cache multiple objcgs per CPU using the multi-slot pattern memcg_stock_pcp already uses, so the per-node objcg variants of one memcg can all coexist in the stock without ever forcing a drain. The temporary fix can then be reverted. To avoid increasing the per-CPU cache footprint, the first three patches shrink the existing single-slot obj_stock_pcp fields. The final patch converts cached_objcg and nr_bytes into NR_OBJ_STOCK=5 slot arrays and reorders the struct so the entire consume/refill/account hot path fits within a single 64-byte cache line on non-debug 64-bit builds (verified with pahole). This patch (of 4): The struct obj_stock_pcp stores a pointer to pglist_data for the slab stats cached on the cpu. On 64-bit machines, this costs 8 bytes. The pointer is not strictly required: NODE_DATA() can recover it from the node id. Replace cached_pgdat with int16_t node_id and use NUMA_NO_NODE as the "no stats cached" sentinel. At the moment all the archs limit MAX_NUMNODES to 1024 so int16_t is plenty; a BUILD_BUG_ON() makes sure we notice if that ever changes.

2026-06-02mm/memcg, swap: store cgroup id in cluster table directlyKairui Song
Drop the usage of the swap_cgroup_ctrl, and use the dynamic cluster table instead. The per-cluster memcg table is 1024 / 512 bytes on most archs, and does not need RCU protection: the cgroup data is only read and written under the cluster lock. That keeps things simple, lets the allocation use plain kmalloc with immediate kfree (no deferred free), and keeps fragmentation acceptable.

2026-06-02mm, swap: delay and unify memcg lookup and charging for swapinKairui Song
Instead of checking the cgroup private ID during page table walk in swap_pte_batch(), move the memcg lookup into __swap_cache_add_check() under the cluster lock. The first pre-alloc check is speculative and skips the memcg check since the post-alloc stable check ensures all slots covered by the folio belong to the same memcg. It is very rare for contiguous and aligned entries across a contiguous region of a page table of the same process or shmem mapping to belong to different memcgs. This also prepares for recording the memcg info in the cluster's table. Also make the order check and fallback more compact. There should be no user-observable behavior change.

2026-05-28mm/memcontrol: hoist pstatc_pcpu assignment out of CPU loopHui Zhu
In mem_cgroup_alloc(), the assignment of pstatc_pcpu is invariant with respect to the for_each_possible_cpu() loop: both the 'parent' pointer and 'parent->vmstats_percpu' remain constant throughout all iterations. The original code redundantly re-evaluated the 'if (parent)' condition and reassigned pstatc_pcpu on every CPU iteration, then repeated the same ternary check 'parent ? pstatc_pcpu : NULL' when storing into statc->parent_pcpu. Move the single conditional assignment of pstatc_pcpu to before the loop, resolving both the loop-invariant placement issue and the duplicated null check. On systems with a large number of possible CPUs, this eliminates repeated branch evaluation with no functional change. No functional change intended.

2026-05-28memcg: use round-robin victim selection in refill_stockShakeel Butt
Harry Yoo reported that get_random_u32_below() is not safe to call in the nmi context and memcg charge draining can happen in nmi context. More specifically get_random_u32_below() is neither reentrant- nor NMI-safe: it acquires a per-cpu local_lock via local_lock_irqsave() on the batched_entropy_u32 state. An NMI that lands on a CPU mid-update of the ChaCha batch state and recurses into the random subsystem would corrupt that state. The memcg_stock local_trylock prevents re-entry on the percpu stock itself, but cannot protect an unrelated subsystem's per-cpu lock. Replace the random pick with a per-cpu round-robin counter stored in memcg_stock_pcp and serialized by the same local_trylock that already guards cached[] and nr_pages[]. No atomics, no random calls, no extra locks needed.

2026-05-21mm: memcontrol: propagate NMI slab stats to memcg vmstatsAlexandre Ghiti
flush_nmi_stats() drains per-node NMI slab atomics into the per-node lruvec_stats, but does not propagate them to the memcg-level vmstats. For non NMI case, account_slab_nmi_safe() calls mod_memcg_lruvec_state() which updates both per-node lruvec_stats and memcg-level vmstats, so flush_nmi_stats() needs to flush to per-node lruvec_stats as well as memcg-level vmstats. So fix this by flushing to the memcg-level vmstats for NMI too.

2026-04-30mm: memcontrol: fix rcu unbalance in get_non_dying_memcg_end()Qi Zheng
Currently, get_non_dying_memcg_start() and get_non_dying_memcg_end() both evaluate cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys) independently to determine whether to acquire or release the RCU read lock. However, the result of cgroup_subsys_on_dfl() can change dynamically at runtime due to cgroup hierarchy rebinding (e.g., when the memory controller is moved between cgroup v1 and v2 hierarchies).

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: change val type to long in __mod_memcg_{lruvec_}state()Qi Zheng
The __mod_memcg_state() and __mod_memcg_lruvec_state() functions are also used to reparent non-hierarchical stats. In this scenario, the values passed to them are accumulated statistics that might be extremely large and exceed the upper limit of a 32-bit integer. Change the val parameter type from int to long in these functions and their corresponding tracepoints (memcg_rstat_stats) to prevent potential overflow issues. After that, in memcg_state_val_in_pages(), if the passed val is negative, the expression val * unit / PAGE_SIZE could be implicitly converted to a massive positive number when compared with 1UL in the max() macro. This leads to returning an incorrect massive positive value. Fix this by using abs(val) to calculate the magnitude first, and then restoring the sign of the value before returning the result. Additionally, use mult_frac() to prevent potential overflow during the multiplication of val and unit.

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: correct the type of stats_updates to unsigned longQi Zheng
Patch series "fix unexpected type conversions and potential overflows", v3. As Harry Yoo pointed out [1], in scenarios where massive state updates occur (e.g., during the reparenting of LRU folios), the values passed to memcg stat update functions can accumulate and exceed the upper limit of a 32-bit integer. If the parameter types are not large enough (like 'int') or are handled incorrectly, it can lead to severe truncation, potential overflow issues, and unexpected type conversion bugs. This series aims to address these issues by correcting the parameter types in the relevant functions, and by fixing an implicit conversion bug in memcg_state_val_in_pages(). This patch (of 3): The memcg_rstat_updated() tracks updates for vmstats_percpu->state and lruvec_stats_percpu->state. Since these state values are of type long, change the val parameter passed to memcg_rstat_updated() to long as well. Correspondingly, change the type of stats_updates in struct memcg_vmstats_percpu and struct memcg_vmstats from unsigned int and atomic_t to unsigned long and atomic_long_t respectively to prevent potential overflow when handling large state updates during the reparenting of LRU folios.

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: prepare for reparenting non-hierarchical statsQi Zheng
To resolve the dying memcg issue, we need to reparent LRU folios of child memcg to its parent memcg. This could cause problems for non-hierarchical stats. As Yosry Ahmed pointed out: In short, if memory is charged to a dying cgroup at the time of reparenting, when the memory gets uncharged the stats updates will occur at the parent. This will update both hierarchical and non-hierarchical stats of the parent, which would corrupt the parent's non-hierarchical stats (because those counters were never incremented when the memory was charged). Now we have the following two types of non-hierarchical stats, and they are only used in CONFIG_MEMCG_V1: a. memcg->vmstats->state_local[i] b. pn->lruvec_stats->state_local[i] To ensure that these non-hierarchical stats work properly, we need to reparent these non-hierarchical stats after reparenting LRU folios. To this end, this commit makes the following preparations: 1. implement reparent_state_local() to reparent non-hierarchical stats 2. make css_killed_work_fn() to be called in rcu work, and implement get_non_dying_memcg_start() and get_non_dying_memcg_end() to avoid race between mod_memcg_state()/mod_memcg_lruvec_state() and reparent_state_local() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/e862995c45a7101a541284b6ebee5e5c32c89066.1772711148.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com Co-developed-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosry@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosry@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> Acked-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev> Cc: Allen Pais <apais@linux.microsoft.com> Cc: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Chengming Zhou <chengming.zhou@linux.dev> Cc: Chen Ridong <chenridong@huawei.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@kernel.org> Cc: Hamza Mahfooz <hamzamahfooz@linux.microsoft.com> Cc: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Imran Khan <imran.f.khan@oracle.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Kamalesh Babulal <kamalesh.babulal@oracle.com> Cc: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev> Cc: Liam Howlett <Liam.Howlett@oracle.com> Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle) <ljs@kernel.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@suse.com> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org> Cc: Muchun Song <muchun.song@linux.dev> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Cc: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com> Cc: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Cc: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Cc: Usama Arif <usamaarif642@gmail.com> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@kernel.org> Cc: Wei Xu <weixugc@google.com> Cc: Yuanchu Xie <yuanchu@google.com> Cc: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: prepare for reparenting LRU pages for lruvec lockMuchun Song
The following diagram illustrates how to ensure the safety of the folio lruvec lock when LRU folios undergo reparenting. In the folio_lruvec_lock(folio) function: rcu_read_lock(); retry: lruvec = folio_lruvec(folio); /* There is a possibility of folio reparenting at this point. */ spin_lock(&lruvec->lru_lock); if (unlikely(lruvec_memcg(lruvec) != folio_memcg(folio))) { /* * The wrong lruvec lock was acquired, and a retry is required. * This is because the folio resides on the parent memcg lruvec * list. */ spin_unlock(&lruvec->lru_lock); goto retry; } /* Reaching here indicates that folio_memcg() is stable. */ In the memcg_reparent_objcgs(memcg) function: spin_lock(&lruvec->lru_lock); spin_lock(&lruvec_parent->lru_lock); /* Transfer folios from the lruvec list to the parent's. */ spin_unlock(&lruvec_parent->lru_lock); spin_unlock(&lruvec->lru_lock); After acquiring the lruvec lock, it is necessary to verify whether the folio has been reparented. If reparenting has occurred, the new lruvec lock must be reacquired. During the LRU folio reparenting process, the lruvec lock will also be acquired (this will be implemented in a subsequent patch). Therefore, folio_memcg() remains unchanged while the lruvec lock is held. Given that lruvec_memcg(lruvec) is always equal to folio_memcg(folio) after the lruvec lock is acquired, the lruvec_memcg_debug() check is redundant. Hence, it is removed. This patch serves as a preparation for the reparenting of LRU folios.

Memory cgroup functions such as get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() and get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() return a valid memory cgroup pointer, even for the root memory cgroup. In contrast, the situation for object cgroups has been different. Previously, the root object cgroup couldn't be returned because it didn't exist. Now that a valid root object cgroup exists, for the sake of consistency, it's necessary to align the behavior of object-cgroup-related operations with that of memory cgroup APIs.

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: allocate object cgroup for non-kmem caseMuchun Song
To allow LRU page reparenting, the objcg infrastructure is no longer solely applicable to the kmem case. In this patch, we extend the scope of the objcg infrastructure beyond the kmem case, enabling LRU folios to reuse it for folio charging purposes. It should be noted that LRU folios are not accounted for at the root level, yet the folio->memcg_data points to the root_mem_cgroup. Hence, the folio->memcg_data of LRU folios always points to a valid pointer. However, the root_mem_cgroup does not possess an object cgroup. Therefore, we also allocate an object cgroup for the root_mem_cgroup.

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: remove dead code of checking parent memory cgroupMuchun Song
Patch series "Eliminate Dying Memory Cgroup", v6. Introduction ============ This patchset is intended to transfer the LRU pages to the object cgroup without holding a reference to the original memory cgroup in order to address the issue of the dying memory cgroup. A consensus has already been reached regarding this approach recently [1]. Background ========== The issue of a dying memory cgroup refers to a situation where a memory cgroup is no longer being used by users, but memory (the metadata associated with memory cgroups) remains allocated to it. This situation may potentially result in memory leaks or inefficiencies in memory reclamation and has persisted as an issue for several years. Any memory allocation that endures longer than the lifespan (from the users' perspective) of a memory cgroup can lead to the issue of dying memory cgroup. We have exerted greater efforts to tackle this problem by introducing the infrastructure of object cgroup [2]. Presently, numerous types of objects (slab objects, non-slab kernel allocations, per-CPU objects) are charged to the object cgroup without holding a reference to the original memory cgroup. The final allocations for LRU pages (anonymous pages and file pages) are charged at allocation time and continues to hold a reference to the original memory cgroup until reclaimed. File pages are more complex than anonymous pages as they can be shared among different memory cgroups and may persist beyond the lifespan of the memory cgroup. The long-term pinning of file pages to memory cgroups is a widespread issue that causes recurring problems in practical scenarios [3]. File pages remain unreclaimed for extended periods. Additionally, they are accessed by successive instances (second, third, fourth, etc.) of the same job, which is restarted into a new cgroup each time. As a result, unreclaimable dying memory cgroups accumulate, leading to memory wastage and significantly reducing the efficiency of page reclamation. Fundamentals ============ A folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory cgroup. It is necessary to ensure that the memory cgroup or the lruvec associated with the memory cgroup is not released when a user obtains a pointer to the memory cgroup or lruvec returned by folio_memcg() or folio_lruvec(). Users are required to hold the RCU read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup associated with the folio to prevent its release if they are not concerned about the binding stability between the folio and its corresponding memory cgroup. However, some users of folio_lruvec() (i.e., the lruvec lock) desire a stable binding between the folio and its corresponding memory cgroup. An approach is needed to ensure the stability of the binding while the lruvec lock is held, and to detect the situation of holding the incorrect lruvec lock when there is a race condition during memory cgroup reparenting. The following four steps are taken to achieve these goals. 1. The first step to be taken is to identify all users of both functions (folio_memcg() and folio_lruvec()) who are not concerned about binding stability and implement appropriate measures (such as holding a RCU read lock or temporarily obtaining a reference to the memory cgroup for a brief period) to prevent the release of the memory cgroup. 2. Secondly, the following refactoring of folio_lruvec_lock() demonstrates how to ensure the binding stability from the user's perspective of folio_lruvec(). struct lruvec *folio_lruvec_lock(struct folio *folio) { struct lruvec *lruvec; rcu_read_lock(); retry: lruvec = folio_lruvec(folio); spin_lock(&lruvec->lru_lock); if (unlikely(lruvec_memcg(lruvec) != folio_memcg(folio))) { spin_unlock(&lruvec->lru_lock); goto retry; } return lruvec; } From the perspective of memory cgroup removal, the entire reparenting process (altering the binding relationship between folio and its memory cgroup and moving the LRU lists to its parental memory cgroup) should be carried out under both the lruvec lock of the memory cgroup being removed and the lruvec lock of its parent. 3. Finally, transfer the LRU pages to the object cgroup without holding a reference to the original memory cgroup. Effect ====== Finally, it can be observed that the quantity of dying memory cgroups will not experience a significant increase if the following test script is executed to reproduce the issue. #!/bin/bash # Create a temporary file 'temp' filled with zero bytes dd if=/dev/zero of=temp bs=4096 count=1 # Display memory-cgroup info from /proc/cgroups cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory for i in {0..2000} do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test$i echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test$i/cgroup.procs # Append 'temp' file content to 'log' cat temp >> log echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs # Potentially create a dying memory cgroup rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test$i done # Display memory-cgroup info after test cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory rm -f temp log This patch (of 33): Since the no-hierarchy mode has been deprecated after the commit: commit bef8620cd8e0 ("mm: memcg: deprecate the non-hierarchical mode"). As a result, parent_mem_cgroup() will not return NULL except when passing the root memcg, and the root memcg cannot be offline. Hence, it's safe to remove the check on the returned value of parent_mem_cgroup(). Remove the corresponding dead code.

2026-04-05mm/memcontrol: fix reclaim_options leak in try_charge_memcg()Bing Jiao
In try_charge_memcg(), the 'reclaim_options' variable is initialized once at the start of the function. However, the function contains a retry loop. If reclaim_options were modified during an iteration (e.g., by encountering a memsw limit), the modified state would persist into subsequent retries. This leads to incorrect reclaim behavior. Specifically, MEMCG_RECLAIM_MAY_SWAP is cleared when the combined memcg->memsw limit is reached. After reclaimation attempts, a subsequent retry may successfully charge memcg->memsw but fail on the memcg->memory charge. In this case, swapping should be permitted, but the carried-over state prevents it. This issue was identified during code reading of try_charge_memcg() while analyzing memsw limit behavior in tiered-memory systems; no production failures have been reported yet. Fix by moving the initialization of 'reclaim_options' inside the retry loop, ensuring a clean state for every reclaim attempt.

2026-04-05mm: memcg: separate slab stat accounting from objcg charge cacheJohannes Weiner
Cgroup slab metrics are cached per-cpu the same way as the sub-page charge cache. However, the intertwined code to manage those dependent caches right now is quite difficult to follow. Specifically, cached slab stat updates occur in consume() if there was enough charge cache to satisfy the new object. If that fails, whole pages are reserved, and slab stats are updated when the remainder of those pages, after subtracting the size of the new slab object, are put into the charge cache. This already juggles a delicate mix of the object size, the page charge size, and the remainder to put into the byte cache. Doing slab accounting in this path as well is fragile, and has recently caused a bug where the input parameters between the two caches were mixed up. Refactor the consume() and refill() paths into unlocked and locked variants that only do charge caching. Then let the slab path manage its own lock section and open-code charging and accounting. This makes the slab stat cache subordinate to the charge cache: __refill_obj_stock() is called first to prepare it; __account_obj_stock() follows to hitch a ride. This results in a minor behavioral change: previously, a mismatching percpu stock would always be drained for the purpose of setting up slab account caching, even if there was no byte remainder to put into the charge cache. Now, the stock is left alone, and slab accounting takes the uncached path if there is a mismatch. This is exceedingly rare, and it was probably never worth draining the whole stock just to cache the slab stat update.

Patch series "memcg: obj stock and slab stat caching cleanups". This is a follow-up to `[PATCH] memcg: fix slab accounting in refill_obj_stock() trylock path`. The way the slab stat cache and the objcg charge cache interact appears a bit too fragile. This series factors those paths apart as much as practical.

2026-04-05mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pagesJiayuan Chen
Patch series "mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages", v3. In containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing incompressible pages to zswap is essential for effective resource management. This series adds a new per-memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages, along with a selftest. This patch (of 2): The global zswap_stored_incompressible_pages counter was added in commit dca4437a5861 ("mm/zswap: store <PAGE_SIZE compression failed page as-is") to track how many pages are stored in raw (uncompressed) form in zswap. However, in containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing incompressible pages is essential for effective resource management [1]. Add a new memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages per cgroup. This helps administrators and orchestrators to: 1. Identify workloads that produce incompressible data (e.g., encrypted data, already-compressed media, random data) and may not benefit from zswap. 2. Make informed decisions about workload placement - moving incompressible workloads to nodes with larger swap backing devices rather than relying on zswap. 3. Debug zswap efficiency issues at the cgroup level without needing to correlate global stats with individual cgroups. While the compression ratio can be estimated from existing stats (zswap / zswapped * PAGE_SIZE), this doesn't distinguish between "uniformly poor compression" and "a few completely incompressible pages mixed with highly compressible ones". The zswap_incomp stat provides direct visibility into the latter case.

2026-04-05memcg: consolidate private id refcount get/put helpersKairui Song
We currently have two different sets of helpers for getting or putting the private IDs' refcount for order 0 and large folios. This is redundant. Just use one and always acquire the refcount of the swapout folio size unless it's zero, and put the refcount using the folio size if the charge failed, since the folio size can't change. Then there is no need to update the refcount for tail pages. Same for freeing, then only one pair of get/put helper is needed now. The performance might be slightly better, too: both "inc unless zero" and "add unless zero" use the same cmpxchg implementation. For large folios, we saved an atomic operation. And for both order 0 and large folios, we saved a branch.

2026-04-05mm: move pgscan, pgsteal, pgrefill to node statsJP Kobryn (Meta)
There are situations where reclaim kicks in on a system with free memory. One possible cause is a NUMA imbalance scenario where one or more nodes are under pressure. It would help if we could easily identify such nodes. Move the pgscan, pgsteal, and pgrefill counters from vm_event_item to node_stat_item to provide per-node reclaim visibility. With these counters as node stats, the values are now displayed in the per-node section of /proc/zoneinfo, which allows for quick identification of the affected nodes. /proc/vmstat continues to report the same counters, aggregated across all nodes. But the ordering of these items within the readout changes as they move from the vm events section to the node stats section. Memcg accounting of these counters is preserved. The relocated counters remain visible in memory.stat alongside the existing aggregate pgscan and pgsteal counters. However, this change affects how the global counters are accumulated. Previously, the global event count update was gated on !cgroup_reclaim(), excluding memcg-based reclaim from /proc/vmstat. Now that mod_lruvec_state() is being used to update the counters, the global counters will include all reclaim. This is consistent with how pgdemote counters are already tracked. Finally, the virtio_balloon driver is updated to use global_node_page_state() to fetch the counters, as they are no longer accessible through the vm_events array.

2026-03-04memcg: fix slab accounting in refill_obj_stock() trylock pathHao Li
In the trylock path of refill_obj_stock(), mod_objcg_mlstate() should use the real alloc/free bytes (i.e., nr_acct) for accounting, rather than nr_bytes. The user-visible impact is that the NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B stats can end up being incorrect. For example, if a user allocates a 6144-byte object, then before this fix efill_obj_stock() calls mod_objcg_mlstate(..., nr_bytes=2048), even though it should account for 6144 bytes (i.e., nr_acct). When the user later frees the same object with kfree(), refill_obj_stock() calls mod_objcg_mlstate(..., nr_bytes=6144). This ends up adding 6144 to the stats, but it should be applying -6144 (i.e., nr_acct) since the object is being freed.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

2026-02-12mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotionBing Jiao
Patch series "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion", v9. This patch series addresses two issues in demote_folio_list(), can_demote(), and next_demotion_node() in reclaim/demotion. 1. demote_folio_list() and can_demote() do not correctly check demotion target against cpuset.mems_effective, which will cause (a) pages to be demoted to not-allowed nodes and (b) pages fail demotion even if the system still has allowed demotion nodes. Patch 1 fixes this bug by updating cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. 2. next_demotion_node() returns a preferred demotion target, but it does not check the node against allowed nodes. Patch 2 ensures that next_demotion_node() filters against the allowed node mask and selects the closest demotion target to the source node. This patch (of 2): Fix two bugs in demote_folio_list() and can_demote() due to incorrect demotion target checks against cpuset.mems_effective in reclaim/demotion. Commit 7d709f49babc ("vmscan,cgroup: apply mems_effective to reclaim") introduces the cpuset.mems_effective check and applies it to can_demote(). However: 1. It does not apply this check in demote_folio_list(), which leads to situations where pages are demoted to nodes that are explicitly excluded from the task's cpuset.mems. 2. It checks only the nodes in the immediate next demotion hierarchy and does not check all allowed demotion targets in can_demote(). This can cause pages to never be demoted if the nodes in the next demotion hierarchy are not set in mems_effective. These bugs break resource isolation provided by cpuset.mems. This is visible from userspace because pages can either fail to be demoted entirely or are demoted to nodes that are not allowed in multi-tier memory systems. To address these bugs, update cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. Also update can_demote() and demote_folio_list() accordingly. Bug 1 reproduction: Assume a system with 4 nodes, where nodes 0-1 are top-tier and nodes 2-3 are far-tier memory.
