2026-06-04mm/vma: eliminate mmap_action->error_hook, introduce error_overrideLorenzo Stoakes
Rather than providing a hook, simplify things by providing the ability to override mmap action errors. This allows us to more carefully validate the value provided and thus ensure only a valid error code is specified, and simplifies the interface. This way, we eliminate all hooks but mmap_prepare and allow only mmap actions to be specified (which core mm controls). This significantly improves robustness and eliminates any unnecessary code duplication in driver mmap hooks. We also update the /dev/mem logic (the only user) to use mmap_action->error_override instead.

2026-06-04mm/vma: remove mmap_action->success_hookLorenzo Stoakes
This hook was introduced to work around code that seemed to absolutely require access to a VMA pointer upon mmap(). However, providing this hook leaves a backdoor to drivers getting access to the very thing mmap_prepare eliminates - a pointer to the VMA. Let's solve this contradiction by removing it. The key intended user was hugetlb, however it seems that the best course now is to avoid allowing all drivers the ability to work around mmap_prepare, and find a different solution there.

2026-06-04drivers/char/mem: eliminate unnecessary use of success_hookLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks", v3. The mmap_action->success_hook was a strange beast added to enable code which appeared to absolutely require access to a VMA pointer to work correctly. Primarily this was for hugetlb, however a different approach will be taken there, as clearly more work is required to figure out a sensible way of converting hugetlb to use mmap_prepare. The other user was the memory char driver, specifically /dev/zero which has the unusual property of explicitly setting file-backed VMAs anonymous. Providing the success hook was always foolish, as it allowed drivers a way to workaround the restriction that they should not access a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-initialised VMA - which defeats the purpose of the mmap_prepare work. We can achieve the same thing in memory char driver without needing the success hook, so this series removes that, then removes the success hook altogether. The error hook is also unnecessary - the motivation for this was for functions which need to override the error code when performing an mmap action in order to avoid breaking userspace. We can achieve this by just providing a field for the error code. Doing this means we don't have to worry about the hook doing anything odd. We also add a check to ensure the error code is in fact valid. Again the memory char driver is the only current user of this, so this series updates it to use that. After this change mmap_action has no custom hooks at all, which seems rather more cromulent than before. This patch (of 3): /dev/zero, uniquely, marks memory mapped there as anonymous. This is currently achieved using the mmap_action->success_hook. However this hook circumvents the abstraction of VMA initialisation so it's preferable to do things a different way. To achieve this, this patch firstly defaults the VMA descriptor's vm_ops field to the dummy VMA operations, which is what file-backed VMAs default this field to. That way, we can detect whether a driver sets this field to NULL in order to mark it anonymous. We then introduce vma_desc_set_anonymous() to do this explicitly, and invoke it in mmap_zero_prepare(). This way, any driver which does not explicitly set desc->vm_ops, retains the dummy vm_ops as they would previously. We also update set_vma_user_defined_fields() to make clear that we are either setting vma->vm_ops to what is provided by the driver (or defaulting to dummy_vm_ops if not set), or setting the VMA anonymous. This lays the groundwork for removing the success hook.

2026-04-27mm/vma: do not try to unmap a VMA if mmap_prepare() invoked from mmap()Lorenzo Stoakes
The mmap_prepare hook functionality includes the ability to invoke mmap_prepare() from the mmap() hook of existing 'stacked' drivers, that is ones which are capable of calling the mmap hooks of other drivers/file systems (e.g. overlayfs, shm). As part of the mmap_prepare action functionality, we deal with errors by unmapping the VMA should one arise. This works in the usual mmap_prepare case, as we invoke this action at the last moment, when the VMA is established in the maple tree. However, the mmap() hook passes a not-fully-established VMA pointer to the caller (which is the motivation behind the mmap_prepare() work), which is detached. So attempting to unmap a VMA in this state will be problematic, with the most obvious symptom being a warning in vma_mark_detached(), because the VMA is already detached. It's also unncessary - the mmap() handler will clean up the VMA on error. So to fix this issue, this patch propagates whether or not an mmap action is being completed via the compatibility layer or directly. If the former, then we do not attempt VMA cleanup, if the latter, then we do. This patch also updates the userland VMA tests to reflect the change.

2026-04-18mm/vma: remove __vma_check_mmap_hook()Lorenzo Stoakes
Commit c50ca15dd496 ("mm: add vm_ops->mapped hook") introduced __vma_check_mmap_hook() in order to assert that a driver doesn't incorrectly implement both an f_op->mmap() and a vm_ops->mapped hook, the latter of which would not ultimately get invoked. However, this did not correctly account for stacked drivers (or drivers that otherwise use the compatibility layer) which might recursively call an mmap_prepare hook via the compatibility layer. Thus the nested mmap_prepare() invocation might result in a VMA which has vm_ops->mapped set with an overlaying mmap() hook, causing the __vma_check_mmap_hook() to fail in vfs_mmap(), wrongly failing the operation. This patch resolves this by simply removing the check, as we can't be certain that an mmap() hook doesn't at some point invoke the compatibility layer, and it's not worth trying to track it.

2026-04-05mm: add mmap_action_map_kernel_pages[_full]()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
A user can invoke mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() to specify that the mapping should map kernel pages starting from desc->start of a specified number of pages specified in an array. In order to implement this, adjust mmap_action_prepare() to be able to return an error code, as it makes sense to assert that the specified parameters are valid as quickly as possible as well as updating the VMA flags to include VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT as necessary. This provides an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_insert_pages(). We additionally update the existing vm_insert_pages() code to use range_in_vma() and add a new range_in_vma_desc() helper function for the mmap_prepare case, sharing the code between the two in range_is_subset(). We add both mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() and mmap_action_map_kernel_pages_full() to allow for both partial and full VMA mappings. We update the documentation to reflect the new features. Finally, we update the VMA tests accordingly to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm: allow handling of stacked mmap_prepare hooks in more driversLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
While the conversion of mmap hooks to mmap_prepare is underway, we will encounter situations where mmap hooks need to invoke nested mmap_prepare hooks. The nesting of mmap hooks is termed 'stacking'. In order to flexibly facilitate the conversion of custom mmap hooks in drivers which stack, we must split up the existing __compat_vma_mmap() function into two separate functions: * compat_set_desc_from_vma() - This allows the setting of a vm_area_desc object's fields to the relevant fields of a VMA. * __compat_vma_mmap() - Once an mmap_prepare hook has been executed upon a vm_area_desc object, this function performs any mmap actions specified by the mmap_prepare hook and then invokes its vm_ops->mapped() hook if any were specified. In ordinary cases, where a file's f_op->mmap_prepare() hook simply needs to be invoked in a stacked mmap() hook, compat_vma_mmap() can be used. However some drivers define their own nested hooks, which are invoked in turn by another hook. A concrete example is vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer(), which is invoked in turn by bin_attribute->mmap(): vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer() has a signature of: int (*mmap_ring_buffer)(struct vmbus_channel *channel, struct vm_area_struct *vma); And bin_attribute->mmap() has a signature of: int (*mmap)(struct file *, struct kobject *, const struct bin_attribute *attr, struct vm_area_struct *vma); And so compat_vma_mmap() cannot be used here for incremental conversion of hooks from mmap() to mmap_prepare(). There are many such instances like this, where conversion to mmap_prepare would otherwise cascade to a huge change set due to nesting of this kind. The changes in this patch mean we could now instead convert vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer() to vmbus_channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer(), and implement something like: struct vm_area_desc desc; int err; compat_set_desc_from_vma(&desc, file, vma); err = channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer(channel, &desc); if (err) return err; return __compat_vma_mmap(&desc, vma); Allowing us to incrementally update this logic, and other logic like it. Unfortunately, as part of this change, we need to be able to flexibly assign to the VMA descriptor, so have to remove some of the const declarations within the structure. Also update the VMA tests to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm: add mmap_action_simple_ioremap()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Currently drivers use vm_iomap_memory() as a simple helper function for I/O remapping memory over a range starting at a specified physical address over a specified length. In order to utilise this from mmap_prepare, separate out the core logic into __simple_ioremap_prep(), update vm_iomap_memory() to use it, and add simple_ioremap_prepare() to do the same with a VMA descriptor object. We also add MMAP_SIMPLE_IO_REMAP and relevant fields to the struct mmap_action type to permit this operation also. We use mmap_action_ioremap() to set up the actual I/O remap operation once we have checked and figured out the parameters, which makes simple_ioremap_prepare() easy to implement. We then add mmap_action_simple_ioremap() to allow drivers to make use of this mode. We update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe this mode. Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

2026-04-05mm: add vm_ops->mapped hookLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Previously, when a driver needed to do something like establish a reference count, it could do so in the mmap hook in the knowledge that the mapping would succeed. With the introduction of f_op->mmap_prepare this is no longer the case, as it is invoked prior to actually establishing the mapping. mmap_prepare is not appropriate for this kind of thing as it is called before any merge might take place, and after which an error might occur meaning resources could be leaked. To take this into account, introduce a new vm_ops->mapped callback which is invoked when the VMA is first mapped (though notably - not when it is merged - which is correct and mirrors existing mmap/open/close behaviour). We do better that vm_ops->open() here, as this callback can return an error, at which point the VMA will be unmapped. Note that vm_ops->mapped() is invoked after any mmap action is complete (such as I/O remapping). We intentionally do not expose the VMA at this point, exposing only the fields that could be used, and an output parameter in case the operation needs to update the vma->vm_private_data field. In order to deal with stacked filesystems which invoke inner filesystem's mmap() invocations, add __compat_vma_mapped() and invoke it on vfs_mmap() (via compat_vma_mmap()) to ensure that the mapped callback is handled when an mmap() caller invokes a nested filesystem's mmap_prepare() callback. Update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe the mapped hook and make it clear what its intended use is. The vm_ops->mapped() call is handled by the mmap complete logic to ensure the same code paths are handled by both the compatibility and VMA layers. Additionally, update VMA userland test headers to reflect the change.

2026-04-05mm: have mmap_action_complete() handle the rmap lock and unmapLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Rather than have the callers handle this both the rmap lock release and unmapping the VMA on error, handle it within the mmap_action_complete() logic where it makes sense to, being careful not to unlock twice. This simplifies the logic and makes it harder to make mistake with this, while retaining correct behaviour with regard to avoiding deadlocks.

2026-04-05mm: switch the rmap lock held option off in compat layerLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
In the mmap_prepare compatibility layer, we don't need to hold the rmap lock, as we are being called from an .mmap handler. The .mmap_prepare hook, when invoked in the VMA logic, is called prior to the VMA being instantiated, but the completion hook is called after the VMA is linked into the maple tree, meaning rmap walkers can reach it. The mmap hook does not link the VMA into the tree, so this cannot happen. Therefore it's safe to simply disable this in the mmap_prepare compatibility layer.

2026-04-05mm: avoid deadlock when holding rmap on mmap_prepare errorLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Commit ac0a3fc9c07d ("mm: add ability to take further action in vm_area_desc") added the ability for drivers to instruct mm to take actions after the .mmap_prepare callback is complete. To make life simpler and safer, this is done before the VMA/mmap write lock is dropped but when the VMA is completely established. So on error, we simply munmap() the VMA. As part of this implementation, unfortunately a horrible hack had to be implemented to support some questionable behaviour hugetlb relies upon - that is that the file rmap lock is held until the operation is complete. The implementation, for convenience, did this in mmap_action_finish() so both the VMA and mmap_prepare compatibility layer paths would have this correctly handled. However, it turns out there is a mistake here - the rmap lock cannot be held on munmap, as free_pgtables() -> unlink_file_vma_batch_add() -> unlink_file_vma_batch_process() takes the file rmap lock. We therefore currently have a deadlock issue that might arise. Resolve this by leaving it to callers to handle the unmap. The compatibility layer does not support this rmap behaviour, so we simply have it unmap on error after calling mmap_action_complete(). In the VMA implementation, we only perform the unmap after the rmap lock is dropped. This resolves the issue by ensuring the rmap lock is always dropped when the unmap occurs.

2026-04-05mm: various small mmap_prepare cleanupsLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Patch series "mm: expand mmap_prepare functionality and usage", v4. This series expands the mmap_prepare functionality, which is intended to replace the deprecated f_op->mmap hook which has been the source of bugs and security issues for some time. This series starts with some cleanup of existing mmap_prepare logic, then adds documentation for the mmap_prepare call to make it easier for filesystem and driver writers to understand how it works. It then importantly adds a vm_ops->mapped hook, a key feature that was missing from mmap_prepare previously - this is invoked when a driver which specifies mmap_prepare has successfully been mapped but not merged with another VMA. mmap_prepare is invoked prior to a merge being attempted, so you cannot manipulate state such as reference counts as if it were a new mapping. The vm_ops->mapped hook allows a driver to perform tasks required at this stage, and provides symmetry against subsequent vm_ops->open,close calls. The series uses this to correct the afs implementation which wrongly manipulated reference count at mmap_prepare time. It then adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_iomap_memory() - mmap_action_simple_ioremap(), then uses this to update a number of drivers. It then splits out the mmap_prepare compatibility layer (which allows for invocation of mmap_prepare hooks in an mmap() hook) in such a way as to allow for more incremental implementation of mmap_prepare hooks. It then uses this to extend mmap_prepare usage in drivers. Finally it adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_map_pages(), which lays the foundation for future work which will extend mmap_prepare to DMA coherent mappings. This patch (of 21): Rather than passing arbitrary fields, pass a vm_area_desc pointer to mmap prepare functions to mmap prepare, and an action and vma pointer to mmap complete in order to put all the action-specific logic in the function actually doing the work. Additionally, allow mmap prepare functions to return an error so we can error out as soon as possible if there is something logically incorrect in the input. Update remap_pfn_range_prepare() to properly check the input range for the CoW case. Also remove io_remap_pfn_range_complete(), as we can simply set up the fields correctly in io_remap_pfn_range_prepare() and use remap_pfn_range_complete() for this. While we're here, make remap_pfn_range_prepare_vma() a little neater, and pass mmap_action directly to call_action_complete(). Then, update compat_vma_mmap() to perform its logic directly, as __compat_vma_map() is not used by anything so we don't need to export it. Also update compat_vma_mmap() to use vfs_mmap_prepare() rather than calling the mmap_prepare op directly. Finally, update the VMA userland tests to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm: rework compound_head() for power-of-2 sizeof(struct page)Kiryl Shutsemau
For tail pages, the kernel uses the 'compound_info' field to get to the head page. The bit 0 of the field indicates whether the page is a tail page, and if set, the remaining bits represent a pointer to the head page. For cases when size of struct page is power-of-2, change the encoding of compound_info to store a mask that can be applied to the virtual address of the tail page in order to access the head page. It is possible because struct page of the head page is naturally aligned with regards to order of the page. The significant impact of this modification is that all tail pages of the same order will now have identical 'compound_info', regardless of the compound page they are associated with. This paves the way for eliminating fake heads. The HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization (HVO) creates fake heads and it is only applied when the sizeof(struct page) is power-of-2. Having identical tail pages allows the same page to be mapped into the vmemmap of all pages, maintaining memory savings without fake heads. If sizeof(struct page) is not power-of-2, there is no functional changes. Limit mask usage to HugeTLB vmemmap optimization (HVO) where it makes a difference. The approach with mask would work in the wider set of conditions, but it requires validating that struct pages are naturally aligned for all orders up to the MAX_FOLIO_ORDER, which can be tricky.

2026-04-05mm: do not map the shadow stack as THPCatalin Marinas
The default shadow stack size allocated on first prctl() for the main thread or subsequently on clone() is either half of RLIMIT_STACK or half of a thread's stack size (for arm64). Both of these are likely to be suitable for a THP allocation and the kernel is more aggressive in creating such mappings. However, it does not make much sense to use a huge page. It didn't make sense for the normal stacks either, see commit c4608d1bf7c6 ("mm: mmap: map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE"). Force VM_NOHUGEPAGE when allocating/mapping the shadow stack. As per commit 7190b3c8bd2b ("mm: mmap: map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE only if THP is enabled"), only pass this flag if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled as not to confuse CRIU tools.

2026-04-05mm: introduce vm_mmap_shadow_stack() as a helper for VM_SHADOW_STACK mappingsCatalin Marinas
Patch series "mm: arch/shstk: Common shadow stack mapping helper and VM_NOHUGEPAGE", v2. A series to extract the common shadow stack mmap into a separate helper for arm64, riscv and x86. This patch (of 5): arm64, riscv and x86 use a similar pattern for mapping the user shadow stack (cloned from x86). Extract this into a helper to facilitate code reuse. The call to do_mmap() from the new helper uses PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE prot bits instead of the PROT_READ with an explicit VM_WRITE vm_flag. The x86 intent was to avoid PROT_WRITE implying normal write since the shadow stack is not writable by normal stores. However, from a kernel perspective, the vma is writeable. Functionally there is no difference.

2025-11-16mm: add ability to take further action in vm_area_descLorenzo Stoakes
Some drivers/filesystems need to perform additional tasks after the VMA is set up. This is typically in the form of pre-population. The forms of pre-population most likely to be performed are a PFN remap or the insertion of normal folios and PFNs into a mixed map. We start by implementing the PFN remap functionality, ensuring that we perform the appropriate actions at the appropriate time - that is setting flags at the point of .mmap_prepare, and performing the actual remap at the point at which the VMA is fully established. This prevents the driver from doing anything too crazy with a VMA at any stage, and we retain complete control over how the mm functionality is applied. Unfortunately callers still do often require some kind of custom action, so we add an optional success/error _hook to allow the caller to do something after the action has succeeded or failed. This is done at the point when the VMA has already been established, so the harm that can be done is limited. The error hook can be used to filter errors if necessary. There may be cases in which the caller absolutely must hold the file rmap lock until the operation is entirely complete. It is an edge case, but certainly the hugetlbfs mmap hook requires it. To accommodate this, we add the hide_from_rmap_until_complete flag to the mmap_action type. In this case, if a new VMA is allocated, we will hold the file rmap lock until the operation is entirely completed (including any success/error hooks). Note that we do not need to update __compat_vma_mmap() to accommodate this flag, as this function will be invoked from an .mmap handler whose VMA is not yet visible, so we implicitly hide it from the rmap. If any error arises on these final actions, we simply unmap the VMA altogether. Also update the stacked filesystem compatibility layer to utilise the action behaviour, and update the VMA tests accordingly. While we're here, rename __compat_vma_mmap_prepare() to __compat_vma_mmap() as we are now performing actions invoked by the mmap_prepare in addition to just the mmap_prepare hook.

2025-09-22mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()Lorenzo Stoakes
In commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems") we introduced the ability for stacked drivers and file systems to correctly invoke the f_op->mmap_prepare() handler from an f_op->mmap() handler via a compatibility layer implemented in compat_vma_mmap_prepare(). This populates vm_area_desc fields according to those found in the (not yet fully initialised) VMA passed to f_op->mmap(). However this function implicitly assumes that the struct file which we are operating upon is equal to vma->vm_file. This is not a safe assumption in all cases. The only really sane situation in which this matters would be something like e.g. i915_gem_dmabuf_mmap() which invokes vfs_mmap() against obj->base.filp: ret = vfs_mmap(obj->base.filp, vma); if (ret) return ret; And then sets the VMA's file to this, should the mmap operation succeed: vma_set_file(vma, obj->base.filp); That is - it is the file that is intended to back the VMA mapping. This is not an issue currently, as so far we have only implemented f_op->mmap_prepare() handlers for some file systems and internal mm uses, and the only stacked f_op->mmap() operations that can be performed upon these are those in backing_file_mmap() and coda_file_mmap(), both of which use vma->vm_file. However, moving forward, as we convert drivers to using f_op->mmap_prepare(), this will become a problem. Resolve this issue by explicitly setting desc->file to the provided file parameter and update callers accordingly. Callers are expected to read desc->file and update desc->vm_file - the former will be the file provided by the caller (if stacked, this may differ from vma->vm_file). If the caller needs to differentiate between the two they therefore now can. While we are here, also provide a variant of compat_vma_mmap_prepare() that operates against a pointer to any file_operations struct and does not assume that the file_operations struct we are interested in is file->f_op. This function is __compat_vma_mmap_prepare() and we invoke it from compat_vma_mmap_prepare() so that we share code between the two functions. This is important, because some drivers provide hooks in a separate struct, for instance struct drm_device provides an fops field for this purpose. Also update the VMA selftests accordingly.

2025-09-22mm: specify separate file and vm_file params in vm_area_descLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()", v2. As part of the efforts to eliminate the problematic f_op->mmap callback, a new callback - f_op->mmap_prepare was provided. While we are converting these callbacks, we must deal with 'stacked' filesystems and drivers - those which in their own f_op->mmap callback invoke an inner f_op->mmap callback. To accomodate for this, a compatibility layer is provided that, via vfs_mmap(), detects if f_op->mmap_prepare is provided and if so, generates a vm_area_desc containing the VMA's metadata and invokes the call. So far, we have provided desc->file equal to vma->vm_file. However this is not necessarily valid, especially in the case of stacked drivers which wish to assign a new file after the inner hook is invoked. To account for this, we adjust vm_area_desc to have both file and vm_file fields. The .vm_file field is strictly set to vma->vm_file (or in the case of a new mapping, what will become vma->vm_file). However, .file is set to whichever file vfs_mmap() is invoked with when using the compatibilty layer. Therefore, if the VMA's file needs to be updated in .mmap_prepare, desc->vm_file should be assigned, whilst desc->file should be read. No current f_op->mmap_prepare users assign desc->file so this is safe to do. This makes the .mmap_prepare callback in the context of a stacked filesystem or driver completely consistent with the existing .mmap implementations. While we're here, we do a few small cleanups, and ensure that we const-ify things correctly in the vm_area_desc struct to avoid hooks accidentally trying to assign fields they should not. This patch (of 2): Stacked filesystems and drivers may invoke mmap hooks with a struct file pointer that differs from the overlying file. We will make this functionality possible in a subsequent patch. In order to prepare for this, let's update vm_area_struct to separately provide desc->file and desc->vm_file parameters. The desc->file parameter is the file that the hook is expected to operate upon, and is not assignable (though the hok may wish to e.g. update the file's accessed time for instance). The desc->vm_file defaults to what will become vma->vm_file and is what the hook must reassign should it wish to change the VMA"s vma->vm_file. For now we keep desc->file, vm_file the same to remain consistent. No f_op->mmap_prepare() callback sets a new vma->vm_file currently, so this is safe to change. While we're here, make the mm_struct desc->mm pointers at immutable as well as the desc->mm field itself. As part of this change, also update the single hook which this would otherwise break - mlock_future_ok(), invoked by secretmem_mmap_prepare()). We additionally update set_vma_from_desc() to compare fields in a more logical fashion, checking the (possibly) user-modified fields as the first operand against the existing value as the second one. Additionally, update VMA tests to accommodate changes.

2025-09-21scatterlist: disallow non-contigous page ranges in a single SG entryDavid Hildenbrand
The expectation is that there is currently no user that would pass in non-contigous page ranges: no allocator, not even VMA, will hand these out. The only problematic part would be if someone would provide a range obtained directly from memblock, or manually merge problematic ranges. If we find such cases, we should fix them to create separate SG entries. Let's check in sg_set_page() that this is really the case. No need to check in sg_set_folio(), as pages in a folio are guaranteed to be contiguous. As sg_set_page() gets inlined into modules, we have to export the page_range_contiguous() helper -- use EXPORT_SYMBOL, there is nothing special about this helper such that we would want to enforce GPL-only modules. We can now drop the nth_page() usage in sg_page_iter_page().

Let's disallow handing out PFN ranges with non-contiguous pages, so we can remove the nth-page usage in __cma_alloc(), and so any callers don't have to worry about that either when wanting to blindly iterate pages. This is really only a problem in configs with SPARSEMEM but without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, and only when we would cross memory sections in some cases. Will this cause harm? Probably not, because it's mostly 32bit that does not support SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. If this ever becomes a problem we could look into allocating the memmap for the memory sections spanned by a single CMA region in one go from memblock.

2025-07-24mm/util: introduce snapshot_page()Luiz Capitulino
This commit refactors __dump_page() into snapshot_page(). snapshot_page() tries to take a faithful snapshot of a page and its folio representation. The snapshot is returned in the struct page_snapshot parameter along with additional flags that are best retrieved at snapshot creation time to reduce race windows. This function is intended to be used by callers that need a stable representation of a struct page and struct folio so that pointers or page information doesn't change while working on a page. The idea and original implementation of snapshot_page() comes from Matthew Wilcox with suggestions for improvements from David Hildenbrand. All bugs and misconceptions are mine.

For the madvise() case, simplify by having only a single parameter for merging young+dirty. For madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() merging the dirty bit is not required, but also not harmful. This code is not that performance critical after all to really force all micro-optimizations. As we now have two pte_t * parameters, use PageTable() to make sure we are actually given a pointer at a copy of the PTE, not a pointer into an actual page table.

2025-07-19mm: split folio_pte_batch() into folio_pte_batch() and folio_pte_batch_flags()David Hildenbrand
Many users (including upcoming ones) don't really need the flags etc, and can live with the possible overhead of a function call. So let's provide a basic, non-inlined folio_pte_batch(), to avoid code bloat while still providing a variant that optimizes out all flag checks at runtime. folio_pte_batch_flags() will get inlined into folio_pte_batch(), optimizing out any conditionals that depend on input flags. folio_pte_batch() will behave like folio_pte_batch_flags() when no flags are specified. It's okay to add new users of folio_pte_batch_flags(), but using folio_pte_batch() if applicable is preferred. So, before this change, folio_pte_batch() was inlined into the C file optimized by propagating constants within the resulting object file. With this change, we now also have a folio_pte_batch() that is optimized by propagating all constants. But instead of having one instance per object file, we have a single shared one. In zap_present_ptes(), where we care about performance, the compiler already seem to generate a call to a common inlined folio_pte_batch() variant, shared with fork() code. So calling the new non-inlined variant should not make a difference. While at it, drop the "addr" parameter that is unused.

2025-06-12mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systemsLorenzo Stoakes
Nested file systems, that is those which invoke call_mmap() within their own f_op->mmap() handlers, may encounter underlying file systems which provide the f_op->mmap_prepare() hook introduced by commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"). We have a chicken-and-egg scenario here - until all file systems are converted to using .mmap_prepare(), we cannot convert these nested handlers, as we can't call f_op->mmap from an .mmap_prepare() hook. So we have to do it the other way round - invoke the .mmap_prepare() hook from an .mmap() one. in order to do so, we need to convert VMA state into a struct vm_area_desc descriptor, invoking the underlying file system's f_op->mmap_prepare() callback passing a pointer to this, and then setting VMA state accordingly and safely. This patch achieves this via the compat_vma_mmap_prepare() function, which we invoke from call_mmap() if f_op->mmap_prepare() is specified in the passed in file pointer. We place the fundamental logic into mm/vma.h where VMA manipulation belongs. We also update the VMA userland tests to accommodate the changes. The compat_vma_mmap_prepare() function and its associated machinery is temporary, and will be removed once the conversion of file systems is complete. We carefully place this code so it can be used with CONFIG_MMU and also with cutting edge nommu silicon.

2025-03-12fsnotify: add pre-content hooks on mmap()Amir Goldstein
Pre-content hooks in page faults introduces potential deadlock of HSM handler in userspace with filesystem freezing. The requirement with pre-content event is that for every accessed file range an event covering at least this range will be generated at least once before the file data is accesses. In preparation to disabling pre-content event hooks on page faults, add pre-content hooks at mmap() variants for the entire mmaped range, so HSM can fill content when user requests to map a portion of the file. Note that exec() variant also calls vm_mmap_pgoff() internally to map code sections, so pre-content hooks are also generated in this case.

2024-11-05mm/util: fix possible race condition in kstrdup()Yafang Shao
In kstrdup(), it is critical to ensure that the dest string is always NUL-terminated. However, potential race condition can occur between a writer and a reader. Consider the following scenario involving task->comm: reader writer len = strlen(s) + 1; strlcpy(tsk->comm, buf, sizeof(tsk->comm)); memcpy(buf, s, len); In this case, there is a race condition between the reader and the writer. The reader calculates the length of the string `s` based on the old value of task->comm. However, during the memcpy(), the string `s` might be updated by the writer to a new value of task->comm. If the new task->comm is larger than the old one, the `buf` might not be NUL-terminated. This can lead to undefined behavior and potential security vulnerabilities. Let's fix it by explicitly adding a NUL terminator after the memcpy. It is worth noting that memcpy() is not atomic, so the new string can be shorter when memcpy() already copied past the new NUL.

2024-09-01mm: only enforce minimum stack gap size if it's sensibleDavid Gow
The generic mmap_base code tries to leave a gap between the top of the stack and the mmap base address, but enforces a minimum gap size (MIN_GAP) of 128MB, which is too large on some setups. In particular, on arm tasks without ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT, the STACK_TOP value is less than 128MB, so it's impossible to fit such a gap in. Only enforce this minimum if MIN_GAP < MAX_GAP, as we'd prefer to honour MAX_GAP, which is defined proportionally, so scales better and always leaves us with both _some_ stack space and some room for mmap. This fixes the usercopy KUnit test suite on 32-bit arm, as it doesn't set any personality flags so gets the default (in this case 26-bit) task size. This test can be run with: ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm usercopy --make_options LLVM=1 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240803074642.1849623-2-davidgow@google.com Fixes: dba79c3df4a2 ("arm: use generic mmap top-down layout and brk randomization") Signed-off-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> Cc: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr> Cc: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Cc: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2024-09-01mm: kvmalloc: align kvrealloc() with krealloc()Danilo Krummrich
Besides the obvious (and desired) difference between krealloc() and kvrealloc(), there is some inconsistency in their function signatures and behavior: - krealloc() frees the memory when the requested size is zero, whereas kvrealloc() simply returns a pointer to the existing allocation. - krealloc() behaves like kmalloc() if a NULL pointer is passed, whereas kvrealloc() does not accept a NULL pointer at all and, if passed, would fault instead. - krealloc() is self-contained, whereas kvrealloc() relies on the caller to provide the size of the previous allocation. Inconsistent behavior throughout allocation APIs is error prone, hence make kvrealloc() behave like krealloc(), which seems superior in all mentioned aspects. Besides that, implementing kvrealloc() by making use of krealloc() and vrealloc() provides oppertunities to grow (and shrink) allocations more efficiently. For instance, vrealloc() can be optimized to allocate and map additional pages to grow the allocation or unmap and free unused pages to shrink the allocation.

It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. * tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (411 commits) mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation mm/zswap: fix a white space issue mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when migrating hugetlb folio mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode mm: memcg1: convert charge move flags to unsigned long long alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting lib: reuse page_ext_data() to obtain codetag_ref lib: add missing newline character in the warning message mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level() mm/kmemleak: replace strncpy() with strscpy() mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB mm: ignore data-race in __swap_writepage hugetlbfs: ensure generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters mm: swap_state: use folio_alloc_mpol() in __read_swap_cache_async() mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: "The most prominent change this time is the kmem_buckets based hardening of kmalloc() allocations from Kees Cook. We have also extended the kmalloc() alignment guarantees for non-power-of-two sizes in a way that benefits rust. The rest are various cleanups and non-critical fixups. - Dedicated bucket allocator (Kees Cook) This series [1] enhances the probabilistic defense against heap spraying/grooming of CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES from last year. kmalloc() users that are known to be useful for exploits can get completely separate set of kmalloc caches that can't be shared with other users. The first converted users are alloc_msg() and memdup_user(). The hardening is enabled by CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS. - Extended kmalloc() alignment guarantees (Vlastimil Babka) For years now we have guaranteed natural alignment for power-of-two allocations, but nothing was defined for other sizes (in practice, we have two such buckets, kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192). To avoid unnecessary padding in the rust layer due to its alignment rules, extend the guarantee so that the alignment is at least the largest power-of-two divisor of the requested size. This fits what rust needs, is a superset of the existing power-of-two guarantee, and does not in practice change the layout (and thus does not add overhead due to padding) of the kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192 caches, unless slab debugging is enabled for them. - Cleanups and non-critical fixups (Chengming Zhou, Suren Baghdasaryan, Matthew Willcox, Alex Shi, and Vlastimil Babka) Various tweaks related to the new alloc profiling code, folio conversion, debugging and more leftovers after SLAB" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240701190152.it.631-kees@kernel.org/ [1] * tag 'slab-for-6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/memcg: alignment memcg_data define condition mm, slab: move prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook under CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING mm, slab: move allocation tagging code in the alloc path into a hook mm/util: Use dedicated slab buckets for memdup_user() ipc, msg: Use dedicated slab buckets for alloc_msg() mm/slab: Introduce kmem_buckets_create() and family mm/slab: Introduce kvmalloc_buckets_node() that can take kmem_buckets argument mm/slab: Plumb kmem_buckets into __do_kmalloc_node() mm/slab: Introduce kmem_buckets typedef slab, rust: extend kmalloc() alignment guarantees to remove Rust padding slab: delete useless RED_INACTIVE and RED_ACTIVE slab: don't put freepointer outside of object if only orig_size slab: make check_object() more consistent mm: Reduce the number of slab->folio casts mm, slab: don't wrap internal functions with alloc_hooks()
