The sysctl handlers for min_unmapped_ratio and min_slab_ratio invoke
setup_min_unmapped_ratio() and setup_min_slab_ratio() unconditionally
after proc_dointvec_minmax(), even for read operations.
These setup functions first zero all per-NUMA node thresholds
(min_unmapped_pages and min_slab_pages) before recalculating them.
Reading /proc sysctl entries therefore temporarily resets node reclaim
thresholds to zero, which may disturb the behavior of __node_reclaim() and
node_reclaim() during the recomputation.
Fix this by only calling the setup functions when the sysctl is actually
written (write == 1), matching the behavior of existing sysctl handlers
like min_free_kbytes and watermark_scale_factor.
This only affects systems with CONFIG_NUMA.

Pages allocated before page_ext is available have their codetag left
uninitialized. Track these early PFNs and clear their codetag in
clear_early_alloc_pfn_tag_refs() to avoid "alloc_tag was not set" warnings
when they are freed later.
Currently a fixed-size array of 8192 entries is used, with a warning if
the limit is exceeded. However, the number of early allocations depends
on the number of CPUs and can be larger than 8192.
Replace the fixed-size array with a dynamically allocated linked list of
pfn_pool structs. Each node is allocated via alloc_page() and mapped to a
pfn_pool containing a next pointer, an atomic slot counter, and a PFN
array that fills the remainder of the page.
The tracking pages themselves are allocated via alloc_page(), which would
trigger __pgalloc_tag_add() -> alloc_tag_add_early_pfn() and recurse
indefinitely. Introduce __GFP_NO_CODETAG (reuses the %__GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT
bit) and pass gfp_flags through pgalloc_tag_add() so that the early path
can skip recording allocations that carry this flag.

COMPACT_DEFERRED means compaction did not start because past failures
caused the zone to be deferred. try_to_compact_pages() returns the
maximum result seen while walking the zonelist, so a final
COMPACT_DEFERRED result means no later zone reported that compaction
actually ran.
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() skips COMPACTSTALL and COMPACTFAIL
accounting when try_to_compact_pages() returns COMPACT_SKIPPED, but not
when it returns COMPACT_DEFERRED. A deferred-only direct compaction
attempt can therefore look like a stall, and then a failure if the
allocation still cannot be satisfied.
Treat COMPACT_DEFERRED like COMPACT_SKIPPED in this accounting path. If a
later zone runs compaction and returns a result above COMPACT_DEFERRED, or
compact_zone_order() reports COMPACT_SUCCESS for a captured page, the
final result is not COMPACT_DEFERRED and the existing accounting still
runs.

should_compact_retry() handles COMPACT_SKIPPED by asking
compaction_zonelist_suitable() whether reclaim can make a later compaction
attempt worthwhile. That answer is used for the current allocation, so it
should follow the same zone eligibility rules as the allocation itself.
When cpusets are enabled, allocator slowpath decisions are marked with
ALLOC_CPUSET. The allocation path, direct compaction and reclaim retry
all skip zones rejected by __cpuset_zone_allowed().
compaction_zonelist_suitable() does not apply that filter. It only walks
ac->zonelist/ac->nodemask, so it can return true because a zone that is
not usable for the current allocation would pass __compaction_suitable().
That does not let the allocation use the disallowed zone. Later
allocation and direct compaction paths still apply cpuset filtering.
However, it can make should_compact_retry() retry based on memory that
this allocation cannot use.
Pass gfp_mask down and apply the same ALLOC_CPUSET check in
compaction_zonelist_suitable(). This keeps the retry decision aligned
with the zones that the allocation is allowed to use.
A temporary debugfs probe was also used to call the old and new
compaction_zonelist_suitable() predicates in the same two-node NUMA guest.
The task was restricted to mems=0 while ac->nodemask covered nodes 0-1.
After putting pressure on node0, node0 failed __compaction_suitable() for
order-10 and node1 passed it, but node1 was rejected by
__cpuset_zone_allowed(). In that state the old predicate returned true
and the patched predicate returned false.

When defrag_mode is enabled, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is enforced to prevent
migratetype fallbacks and keep pageblocks clean. The allocator relies on
reclaim and compaction to free pages of the correct type before allowing
fallback as a last resort.
However, non-reclaimable allocations such as GFP_ATOMIC cannot invoke
direct reclaim or compaction. With defrag_mode=1, these allocations hit
the !can_direct_reclaim bailout in __alloc_pages_slowpath() with
ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT still set, and fail without ever attempting a fallback.
This causes a large number of SLUB allocation failures for
skbuff_head_cache under network-heavy workloads, despite free memory being
available in other migratetype freelists.
We observed it on a few of the Meta workloads that adopted
defrag_mode=1.
For the service under load there were 85509 SLUB allocation failures
messages in dmesg within 2 hours. All of them are GFP_ATOMIC
allocations for skbuff_head_cache, despite free pages being available
in other migratetype freelists (~13 GB free).
Since it is networking path from the practical point of view, this
means dropped packets, failed RPC requests, tail latency spikes and
overall service degradation.
Clear ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT and retry for allocations that request kswapd
reclaim but cannot do direct reclaim themselves (GFP_ATOMIC). Purely
speculative allocations like GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT that don't set
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM are left to fail, since they have reasonable
fallbacks and should not cause fragmentation.

The allocator interacts with cgroups which rely on RCU. RCU does not work
everywhere, so the "any context" claim is slightly overstated here.
This should already be enforced by objtool, since this function is not
marked noinstr the x86 build should fail if you call it from a place where
RCU is not watching. But, expecting readers to make that connection for
themselves seems a bit cruel (I don't think there is even any
documentation of what noinstr means at all, let alone the connection with
RCU).
Note this is not claiming that any cgroup code called from the allocator
would actually break if this restriction was violated, it could very well
be that there's no real way for the allocator to act on a cgroup that can
disappear concurrently. But, since it's likely nobody has verified this
one way or another, better to just be safe and declare that RCU is
required. Allocating from an RCU-unsafe context seems a bit crazy anyway.

get_pfnblock_migratetype() is called from outside page_alloc.c, so it

At least in my minimal config, with GCC, this doesn't change

- Add a PAGEBLOCK_ prefix to the names to avoid polluting the "global
namespace" too much.
- This new prefix makes MIGRATETYPE_AND_ISO_MASK look pretty long. Well,
that global mask only exists for quite a specific purpose, and is
quite a weird thing to have a name for anyway. So drop it and take
advantage of the newly-defined PAGEBLOCK_ISO_MASK.

This function currently returns a signed integer that encodes status
in-band, as negative numbers, along with a migratetype. Switch to a more
explicit/verbose style that encodes the status and migratetype separately.
In the spirit of making things more explicit, also create an enum to avoid
using magic integer literals with special meanings. This enables
documenting the values at their definition instead of in one of the
callers.

Patch series "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock", v3.
This series uses spinlock guard for zone lock across several mm functions
to replace explicit lock/unlock patterns with automatic scope-based
cleanup.
This simplifies the control flow by removing 'flags' variables, goto
labels, and redundant unlock calls.
Patches are ordered by decreasing value. The first six patches simplify
the control flow by removing gotos, multiple unlock paths, or 'ret'
variables. The last two are simpler lock/unlock pair conversions that
only remove 'flags' and can be dropped if considered unnecessary churn.
Binary size increase is +39 bytes, with Peter Zijlstra's fix for guards
[1] applied. This is due to the compiler not being able to deduplicate
epilogue and eliminate redundant NULL check. See discussion [2] for more
details. I proposed a patch [3] that fixes this, but until it is merged
we need to assume +39 bytes will stay (though it is compiler dependent).
This patch (of 8):
Use the spinlock_irqsave zone lock guard in reserve_highatomic_pageblock()
to replace the explicit lock/unlock and goto out_unlock pattern with
automatic scope-based cleanup.

Previously, we had warnings when a single page allocation took longer than
reasonably expected. This was introduced in commit 63f53dea0c98 ("mm:
warn about allocations which stall for too long").
The warning was subsequently reverted in commit 400e22499dd9 ("mm: don't
warn about allocations which stall for too long") because it was possible
to generate memory pressure that would effectively stall further progress
through printk execution.
Page allocation stalls in excess of 10 seconds are always useful to debug
because they can result in severe userspace unresponsiveness. Adding this
artifact can be used to correlate with userspace going out to lunch and to
understand the state of memory at the time.
There should be a reasonable expectation that this warning will never
trigger given it is very passive, it will only be emitted when a page
allocation takes longer than 10 seconds. If it does trigger, this reveals
an issue that should be fixed: a single page allocation should never loop
for more than 10 seconds without oom killing to make memory available.
Unlike the original implementation, this implementation only reports
stalls once for the system every 10 seconds. Otherwise, many concurrent
reclaimers could spam the kernel log unnecessarily. Stalls are only
reported when calling into direct reclaim.

Apply the same batch-freeing optimization from free_contig_range() to the
frozen page path. The previous __free_contig_frozen_range() freed each
order-0 page individually via free_frozen_pages(), which is slow for the
same reason the old free_contig_range() was: each page goes to the order-0
pcp list rather than being coalesced into higher-order blocks.
Rewrite __free_contig_frozen_range() to call free_pages_prepare() for each
order-0 page, then batch the prepared pages into the largest possible
power-of-2 aligned chunks via free_prepared_contig_range(). If
free_pages_prepare() fails (e.g. HWPoison, bad page) the page is
deliberately not freed; it should not be returned to the allocator.
I've tested CMA through debugfs. The test allocates 16384 pages per
allocation for several iterations. There is 3.5x improvement.

Whenever vmalloc allocates high order pages (e.g. for a huge mapping) it
must immediately split_page() to order-0 so that it remains compatible
with users that want to access the underlying struct page. Commit
a06157804399 ("mm/vmalloc: request large order pages from buddy
allocator") recently made it much more likely for vmalloc to allocate high
order pages which are subsequently split to order-0.
Unfortunately this had the side effect of causing performance regressions
for tight vmalloc/vfree loops (e.g. test_vmalloc.ko benchmarks). See
Closes: tag. This happens because the high order pages must be gotten
from the buddy but then because they are split to order-0, when they are
freed they are freed to the order-0 pcp. Previously allocation was for
order-0 pages so they were recycled from the pcp.
It would be preferable if when vmalloc allocates an (e.g.) order-3 page
that it also frees that order-3 page to the order-3 pcp, then the
regression could be removed.
So let's do exactly that; update stats separately first as coalescing is
hard to do correctly without complexity. Use free_pages_bulk() which uses
the new __free_contig_range() API to batch-free contiguous ranges of pfns.
This not only removes the regression, but significantly improves
performance of vfree beyond the baseline.

system. mm-new is the baseline. Commit a06157804399 ("mm/vmalloc:
request large order pages from buddy allocator") was added in v6.19-rc1
where we see regressions. Then with this change performance is much
better. (>0 is faster, <0 is slower, (R)/(I) = statistically significant

Patch series "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently", v6.
A recent change to vmalloc caused some performance benchmark regressions
(see [1]). I'm attempting to fix that (and at the same time significantly
improve beyond the baseline) by freeing a contiguous set of order-0 pages
as a batch.
At the same time I observed that free_contig_range() was essentially doing
the same thing as vfree() so I've fixed it there too. While at it,
optimize the __free_contig_frozen_range() as well.
Check that the contiguous range falls in the same section. If they aren't
enabled, the if conditions get optimized out by the compiler as
memdesc_section() returns 0. See num_pages_contiguous() for more details
about it.
This patch (of 3):
Decompose the range of order-0 pages to be freed into the set of largest
possible power-of-2 size and aligned chunks and free them to the pcp or
buddy. This improves on the previous approach which freed each order-0
page individually in a loop. Testing shows performance to be improved by
more than 10x in some cases.
Since each page is order-0, we must decrement each page's reference count
individually and only consider the page for freeing as part of a high
order chunk if the reference count goes to zero. Additionally
free_pages_prepare() must be called for each individual order-0 page too,
so that the struct page state and global accounting state can be
appropriately managed. But once this is done, the resulting high order
chunks can be freed as a unit to the pcp or buddy.
This significantly speeds up the free operation but also has the side
benefit that high order blocks are added to the pcp instead of each page
ending up on the pcp order-0 list; memory remains more readily available
in high orders.
vmalloc will shortly become a user of this new optimized
free_contig_range() since it aggressively allocates high order
non-compound pages, but then calls split_page() to end up with contiguous
order-0 pages. These can now be freed much more efficiently.
The execution time of the following function was measured in a server
class arm64 machine:
static int page_alloc_high_order_test(void)
{
unsigned int order = HPAGE_PMD_ORDER;
struct page *page;
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order);
if (!page)
return -1;
split_page(page, order);
free_contig_range(page_to_pfn(page), 1UL << order);
}
return 0;

When init_on_alloc is enabled, kernel_init_pages() clears every page one
at a time via clear_highpage_kasan_tagged(), which incurs per-page
kmap_local_page()/kunmap_local() overhead and prevents the architecture
clearing primitive from operating on contiguous ranges.
Introduce clear_highpages_kasan_tagged() as a static batch clearing helper
in page_alloc.c that calls clear_pages() for the full contiguous range on
!HIGHMEM systems, bypassing the per-page kmap overhead and allowing a
single invocation of the arch clearing primitive across the entire
allocation. The HIGHMEM path falls back to per-page clearing since those
pages require kmap.
Replace kernel_init_pages() with direct calls to the new helper, as it
becomes a trivial wrapper.

This reverts commit db359fccf212 ("mm: introduce a new page type for page
pool in page type") and a part of 735a309b4bfb9e ("net: add net_iov_init()
and use it to initialize ->page_type").
Netpp page_type'ed pages might be used in mapping so as to use @_mapcount.
However, since @page_type and @_mapcount are union'ed in struct page,
these two can't be used at the same time. Revert the commit introducing
page_type for Netpp for now.
The patch will be retried once @page_type and @_mapcount get allowed to be
used at the same time.
The revert also includes removal of @page_type initialization part
introduced by commit 735a309b4bfb9e ("net: add net_iov_init() and use it
to initialize ->page_type"), which will be restored on the retry.

init_on_free
__GFP_ZEROTAGS semantics are currently a bit weird, but effectively this
flag is only ever set alongside __GFP_ZERO and __GFP_SKIP_KASAN.
If we run with init_on_free, we will zero out pages during
__free_pages_prepare(), to skip zeroing on the allocation path.
However, when allocating with __GFP_ZEROTAG set, post_alloc_hook() will
consequently not only skip clearing page content, but also skip clearing
tag memory.
Not clearing tags through __GFP_ZEROTAGS is irrelevant for most pages that
will get mapped to user space through set_pte_at() later: set_pte_at() and
friends will detect that the tags have not been initialized yet
(PG_mte_tagged not set), and initialize them.
However, for the huge zero folio, which will be mapped through a PMD
marked as special, this initialization will not be performed, ending up
exposing whatever tags were still set for the pages.
The docs (Documentation/arch/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst) state
that allocation tags are set to 0 when a page is first mapped to user
space. That no longer holds with the huge zero folio when init_on_free is
enabled.
Fix it by decoupling __GFP_ZEROTAGS from __GFP_ZERO, passing to
tag_clear_highpages() whether we want to also clear page content.
Invert the meaning of the tag_clear_highpages() return value to have
clearer semantics.
Reproduced with the huge zero folio by modifying the check_buffer_fill
arm64/mte selftest to use a 2 MiB area, after making sure that pages have
a non-0 tag set when freeing (note that, during boot, we will not actually
initialize tags, but only set KASAN_TAG_KERNEL in the page flags).
$ ./check_buffer_fill
1..20
...
not ok 17 Check initial tags with private mapping, sync error mode and mmap memory
not ok 18 Check initial tags with private mapping, sync error mode and mmap/mprotect memory
...
This code needs more cleanups; we'll tackle that next, like
decoupling __GFP_ZEROTAGS from __GFP_SKIP_KASAN.

Pull slab fixes from Vlastimil Babka:
- Stable fixes for CONFIG_SMP=n where _nolock() allocations in NMI both
at kmalloc and page allocator levels are not properly protected by
the spin_trylock() semantics on !SMP (Harry Yoo)
* tag 'slab-for-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab:

On UP kernels (!CONFIG_SMP), spin_trylock() is a no-op that
unconditionally succeeds even when the lock is already held. As a
result, alloc_frozen_pages_nolock() called from NMI context can
re-enter rmqueue() and acquire the zone lock that the interrupted
context is already holding, corrupting the freelists.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK on UP, the following BUG is triggered with

Due to initialization ordering, page_ext is allocated and initialized
relatively late during boot. Some pages have already been allocated and
freed before page_ext becomes available, leaving their codetag
uninitialized.
A clear example is in init_section_page_ext(): alloc_page_ext() calls
kmemleak_alloc(). If the slab cache has no free objects, it falls back to
the buddy allocator to allocate memory. However, at this point page_ext
is not yet fully initialized, so these newly allocated pages have no
codetag set. These pages may later be reclaimed by KASAN, which causes
the warning to trigger when they are freed because their codetag ref is
still empty.
Use a global array to track pages allocated before page_ext is fully
initialized. The array size is fixed at 8192 entries, and will emit a
warning if this limit is exceeded. When page_ext initialization
completes, set their codetag to empty to avoid warnings when they are
freed later.
This warning is only observed with CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=Y and
mem_profiling_compressed disabled:

Higher order GFP_ATOMIC allocations can be served through a PCP list with
ALLOC_HIGHATOMIC set. Such an allocation can e.g. happen if a zone is
between the low and min watermarks, and get_page_from_freelist is retried
after the alloc_flags are relaxed.
The call to reserve_highatomic_pageblock() after such a PCP allocation
will result in an increase every single time: the page from the
(unmovable) PCP list will never have migrate type MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC,
since MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC pages do not appear on the unmovable PCP list.
So a new pageblock is converted to MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC.
Eventually that leads to the maximum of 1% of the zone being used up by
(often mostly free) MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC pageblocks, for no good reason.
Since this space is not available for normal allocations, this wastes
memory and will push things in to reclaim too soon.
This was observed on a system that ran a test with bursts of memory
activity, paired with GFP_ATOMIC SLUB activity. These would lead to a new
slab being allocated with GFP_ATOMIC, sometimes hitting the
get_page_from_freelist retry path by being below the low watermark. While
the frequency of those allocations was low, it kept adding up over time,
and the number of MIGRATE_ATOMIC pageblocks kept increasing.
If a higher order atomic allocation can be served by the unmovable PCP
list, there is probably no need yet to extend the reserves. So, move the
check and possible extension of the highatomic reserves to the buddy case
only, and do not refill the PCP list for ALLOC_HIGHATOMIC if it's empty.
This way, the PCP list is tried for ALLOC_HIGHATOMIC for a fast atomic
allocation. But it will immediately fall back to rmqueue_buddy() if it's
empty. In rmqueue_buddy(), the MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC buddy lists are tried
first (as before), and the reserves are extended only if that fails.
With this change, the test was stable. Highatomic reserves were built up,
but to a normal level. No highatomic failures were seen.
This is similar to the patch proposed in [1] by Zhiguo Jiang, but
re-arranged a bit.

In order to add mTHP support to khugepaged, we will often be checking if a
given order is (or is not) a PMD order. Some places in the kernel already
use this check, so lets create a simple helper function to keep the code
clean and readable.

Currently, the condition 'page->pp_magic == PP_SIGNATURE' is used to
determine if a page belongs to a page pool. However, with the planned
removal of @pp_magic, we should instead leverage the page_type in struct
page, such as PGTY_netpp, for this purpose.
Introduce and use the page type APIs e.g. PageNetpp(), __SetPageNetpp(),
and __ClearPageNetpp() instead, and remove the existing APIs accessing
@pp_magic e.g. page_pool_page_is_pp(), netmem_or_pp_magic(), and
netmem_clear_pp_magic().
Plus, add @page_type to struct net_iov at the same offset as struct page
so as to use the page_type APIs for struct net_iov as well. While at it,
reorder @type and @owner in struct net_iov to avoid a hole and increasing
the struct size.
This work was inspired by the following link:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/582f41c0-2742-4400-9c81-0d46bf4e8314@gmail.com/
While at it, move the sanity check for page pool to on the free path.

We only ever use pcpu_spin_trylock()/unlock() with struct per_cpu_pages so
refactor the helpers to remove the generic layer.
No functional change intended.

Effectively revert commit 038a102535eb ("mm/page_alloc: prevent pcp
corruption with SMP=n"). The original problem is now avoided by
pcp_spin_trylock() always failing on CONFIG_SMP=n, so we do not need to
disable IRQs anymore.
It's not a complete revert, because keeping the pcp_spin_(un)lock()
wrappers is useful. Rename them from _maybe_irqsave/restore to _nopin.
The difference from pcp_spin_trylock()/pcp_spin_unlock() is that the
_nopin variants don't perform pcpu_task_pin/unpin().

Patch series "mm/page_alloc: pcp locking cleanup".
This is a followup to the hotfix 038a102535eb ("mm/page_alloc: prevent pcp
corruption with SMP=n"), to simplify the code and deal with the original
issue properly. The previous RFC attempt [1] argued for changing the UP
spinlock implementation, which was discouraged, but thanks to David's
off-list suggestion, we can achieve the goal without changing the spinlock
implementation.
The main change in Patch 1 relies on the fact that on UP we don't need the
pcp lists for scalability, so just make them always bypassed during
alloc/free by making the pcp trylock an unconditional failure.
The various drain paths that use pcp_spin_lock_maybe_irqsave() continue to
exist but will never do any work in practice. In Patch 2 we can again
remove the irq saving from them that commit 038a102535eb added.
Besides simpler code with all the ugly UP_flags removed, we get less bloat
with CONFIG_SMP=n for mm/page_alloc.o as a result:

__rmqueue_pcplist 2614 - -2614
Total: Before=54624, After=50064, chg -8.35%
This patch (of 3):
The page allocator has been using a locking scheme for its percpu page
caches (pcp) based on spin_trylock() with no _irqsave() part. The trick
is that if we interrupt the locked section, we fail the trylock and just
fallback to the slowpath taking the zone lock. That's more expensive, but
rare, so we don't need to pay the irqsave/restore cost all the time in the
fastpaths.
It's similar to but not exactly local_trylock_t (which is also newer
anyway) because in some cases we do lock the pcp of a non-local cpu to
drain it, in a way that's cheaper than using IPI or queue_work_on().
The complication of this scheme has been UP non-debug spinlock
implementation which assumes spin_trylock() can't fail on UP and has no
state to track whether it's locked. It just doesn't anticipate this usage
scenario. So to work around that we disable IRQs only on UP, complicating
the implementation. Also recently we found years old bug in where we
didn't disable IRQs in related paths - see 038a102535eb ("mm/page_alloc:
prevent pcp corruption with SMP=n").
We can avoid this UP complication by realizing that we do not need the pcp
caching for scalability on UP in the first place. Removing it completely
with #ifdefs is not worth the trouble either. Just make
pcp_spin_trylock() return NULL unconditionally on CONFIG_SMP=n. This
makes the slowpaths unconditional, and we can remove the IRQ save/restore
handling in pcp_spin_trylock()/unlock() completely.

The 'compound_head' field in the 'struct page' encodes whether the page is
a tail and where to locate the head page. Bit 0 is set if the page is a
tail, and the remaining bits in the field point to the head page.
As preparation for changing how the field encodes information about the
head page, rename the field to 'compound_info'.

Instead of passing down the head page and tail page index, pass the tail
and head pages directly, as well as the order of the compound page.
This is a preparation for changing how the head position is encoded in the

When CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled, freeing of reserved
memory before the memory map is fully initialized in deferred_init_memmap()
would cause access to uninitialized struct pages and may crash when
accessing spurious list pointers, like was recently discovered during
discussion about memory leaks in x86 EFI code [1].
The trace below is from an attempt to call free_reserved_page() before
page_alloc_init_late():

Currently there are not many callers of free_reserved_area() and they all
appear to be at the right timings.
Still, in order to protect against problematic code moves or additions of
new callers add a warning that will inform that reserved pages cannot be
freed until the memory map is fully initialized.

free_reserved_area() is related to memblock as it frees reserved memory
back to the buddy allocator, similar to what memblock_free_late() does.
Move free_reserved_area() to mm/memblock.c to prepare for further
consolidation of the functions that free reserved memory.
No functional changes.

alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() only fills NULL slots and already tracks how
many entries are pre-populated via nr_populated.
The fast watermark check was adding nr_pages unconditionally, which can
overestimate the demand. Use (nr_pages - nr_populated) instead, as an
upper bound on the remaining pages this call can still allocate without
scanning the whole array.

When KASAN hardware tags are enabled, re-enabling KFENCE late (via
/sys/module/kfence/parameters/sample_interval) causes KASAN faults.
This happens because the KFENCE pool and metadata are allocated via the
page allocator, which tags the memory, while KFENCE continues to access it
using untagged pointers during initialization.
Use __GFP_SKIP_KASAN for late KFENCE pool and metadata allocations to
ensure the memory remains untagged, consistent with early allocations from
memblock. To support this, add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN to the allowlist in
__alloc_contig_verify_gfp_mask().

Several subsystems (slub, shmem, ttm, etc.) use page->private but don't
clear it before freeing pages. When these pages are later allocated as
high-order pages and split via split_page(), tail pages retain stale
page->private values.
This causes a use-after-free in the swap subsystem. The swap code uses
page->private to track swap count continuations, assuming freshly
allocated pages have page->private == 0. When stale values are present,
swap_count_continued() incorrectly assumes the continuation list is valid
and iterates over uninitialized page->lru containing LIST_POISON values,
causing a crash:
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000100-0xdead000000000107]
RIP: 0010:__do_sys_swapoff+0x1151/0x1860
Fix this by clearing page->private in free_pages_prepare(), ensuring all
freed pages have clean state regardless of previous use.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- The percpu sheaves caching layer was introduced as opt-in in 6.18 and
now we enable it for all caches and remove the previous cpu (partial)
slab caching mechanism.
Besides the lower locking overhead and much more likely fastpath when
freeing, this removes the rather complicated code related to the cpu
slab lockless fastpaths (using this_cpu_try_cmpxchg128/64) and all
its complications for PREEMPT_RT or kmalloc_nolock().
The lockless slab freelist+counters update operation using
try_cmpxchg128/64 remains and is crucial for freeing remote NUMA
objects, and to allow flushing objects from sheaves to slabs mostly
without the node list_lock (Vlastimil Babka)
- Eliminate slabobj_ext metadata overhead when possible. Instead of
using kmalloc() to allocate the array for memcg and/or allocation
profiling tag pointers, use leftover space in a slab or per-object
padding due to alignment (Harry Yoo)
- Various followup improvements to the above (Hao Li)
