7 daysmm: do file ownership checks with the proper mount idmapPedro Falcato
Ever since idmapped mounts were introduced, inode ownership checks (for side-channel protection) in mincore() and madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) were done against the nop_mnt_idmap, which completely ignores the file's mount's idmap. This results in odd edgecases like: 1) mount/bind-mount with an idmap userA:userB:1 2) userB runs an owner_or_capable() check on file that is owned by userA on-disk/in-memory, but owned by userB after idmap translation 3) owner_or_capable() mysteriously fails as the correct idmap wasn't supplied In the case of mincore/madvise MADV_PAGEOUT, this is usually benign, because file_permission(file, MAY_WRITE) will probably succeed, as it uses the proper idmap internally, but it does not need to be the case on e.g a 0444 file where even the owner itself doesn't have permissions to write to it. Since this is clearly not trivial to get right, introduce a file_owner_or_capable() that can carry the correct semantics, and switch the various users in mm to it. The issue was found by manual code inspection & an off-list discussion with Jan Kara.

7 daysmm/damon/ops-common: handle extreme intervals in damon_hot_score()SeongJae Park
Fix three issues in damon_hot_score() that comes from wrong handling of extreme (zero or too high) monitoring intervals user setup. When the user sets sampling interval zero, damon_max_nr_accesses(), which is called from damon_hot_score(), causes a divide-by-zero. Needless to say, it is a problem. When the user sets the aggregation interval zero, the function returns zero. It is wrong, since the real maximum nr_acceses in the setup should be one. Worse yet, it can cause another divide-by-zero from its caller, damon_hot_score(), since it uses damon_max_nr_accesses() return value as a denominator. When the user sets the aggregation interval very high, damon_hot_score() could return a value out of [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] range. Since the return value is used as an index to the regions_score_histogram array, which is DAMOS_MAX_SCORE+1 size, it causes out of bounds array access. The issues can be relatively easily reproduced like below. The sysfs write permission is required, though. # ./damo start --damos_action lru_prio --damos_quota_space 100M \ --damos_quota_interval 1s # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0 # echo 0 > contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/sample_us # echo 0 > contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/aggr_us # echo commit > state # dmesg [...] [ 131.329762] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [...] [ 131.336089] RIP: 0010:damon_hot_score+0x27/0xd0 [...] Fix the divide-by-zero intervals problems by explicitly handling the zero intervals in damon_max_nr_accesses().

7 daysmm/damon/sysfs-schemes: put stats for scheme_add_dirs() internal errorSeongJae Park
damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() setup the tried_regions directory after the stats directory setup is completed. When the tried_regions directory setup is failed, the setup function ensures the reference for the tried regions directory is released. Hence the error path should put references on setup succeeded directory objects, starting from the stats directory. However, the error path is putting the tried_regions directory instead of the stats directory. As a direct result, the stats directory object is leaked. Worse yet, if the tried_regions directory setup failed from the initial allocation, the scheme->tried_regions field remains uninitialized. The following kobject_put(&scheme->tried_regions->kobj) call in the error path will dereference the uninitialized memory. The setup failures should not be common. But once it happens, the consequence is quite bad. Fix this issue by correctly putting the stats directory instead of the tried_regions directory. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: fix wrong directories put orders in error paths". Error paths of damon_sysfs_access_pattern_add_dirs() and damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() functions put references to directories in wrong orders. As a result, uninitialized memory dereference and/or memory leak can happen. Fix those. This patch (of 2): In access_pattern_add_dirs(), error handling path puts references starting from setup failed directories.

7 daysmm: shrinker: fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfsQi Zheng
shrinker_debugfs_add() creates both "count" and "scan" debugfs files unconditionally. That assumes every shrinker implements both count_objects() and scan_objects(), which is not guaranteed. For example, the xen-backend shrinker sets count_objects() but leaves scan_objects() NULL, so writing to its scan file calls through a NULL function pointer and panics the kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 RIP: 0010:0x0 Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6. Call Trace: <TASK> shrinker_debugfs_scan_write+0x12e/0x270 full_proxy_write+0x5f/0x90 vfs_write+0xde/0x420 ? filp_flush+0x75/0x90 ? filp_close+0x1d/0x30 ? do_dup2+0xb8/0x120 ksys_write+0x68/0xf0 ? filp_flush+0x75/0x90 do_syscall_64+0xb3/0x5b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e The count path has the same issue in principle if a shrinker omits count_objects(). To fix it, only create "count" and "scan" debugfs files when the corresponding callbacks are present.

7 daysmm: shrinker: fix shrinker_info teardown race with expansionQi Zheng
expand_shrinker_info() iterates all visible memcgs under shrinker_mutex, including memcgs that have not finished ->css_online() yet. Once pn->shrinker_info has been published, teardown must stay serialized with expand_shrinker_info() until that memcg is either fully online or no longer visible to iteration. Today alloc_shrinker_info() breaks that rule by dropping shrinker_mutex before freeing a partially initialized shrinker_info array, which may cause the following race: CPU0 CPU1 ==== ==== css_create --> list_add_tail_rcu(&css->sibling, &parent_css->children); online_css --> mem_cgroup_css_online --> alloc_shrinker_info --> alloc node0 info rcu_assign_pointer(C->node0->shrinker_info, old0) alloc node1 info -> FAIL -> goto err mutex_unlock(shrinker_mutex) shrinker_alloc() --> shrinker_memcg_alloc --> mutex_lock(shrinker_mutex) expand_shrinker_info --> mem_cgroup_iter see the memcg expand_one_shrinker_info --> old0 = C->node0->shrinker_info memcpy(new->unit, old0->unit, ...); free_shrinker_info --> kvfree(old0); /* double free !! */ kvfree_rcu(old0, rcu); The same problem exists later in mem_cgroup_css_online(). If alloc_shrinker_info() succeeds but a subsequent objcg allocation fails, the free_objcg -> free_shrinker_info() unwind path tears down the already published pn->shrinker_info arrays without shrinker_mutex. The expand_one_shrinker_info() can race with that teardown in the same way, leading to use-after-free or double-free of the old shrinker_info. Fix this by serializing shrinker_info teardown with shrinker_mutex, and by keeping alloc_shrinker_info() error cleanup inside the locked section.

2026-06-24mm/page_io: don't nest queue_lock under rcu in bio_associate_blkg_from_page()Yu Kuai
Take a css reference under RCU, drop RCU, and then associate the bio with the blkg. This avoids nesting queue_lock under RCU and prepares to protect blkcg with blkcg_mutex instead of queue_lock. Use css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() so swap writeback for pages charged to a dying memcg still passes the dying css to bio_associate_blkg_from_css(). That preserves the existing closest-live ancestor fallback instead of charging those bios to the root blkg.

2026-06-21mm/damon/core: always put unsuccessfully committed target pidsSeongJae Park
damon_commit_target() puts and gets the destination and the source target pids. It puts the destination target pid because it will be overwritten by the source target pid. It gets the source pid because the caller is supposed to eventually put the pids. In more detail, the caller will call damon_destroy_ctx() after damon_commit_ctx() to destroy the entire source context. And in this case, [f]vaddr operation set's cleanup_target() callback will put the pids. The commit operation is made at the context level. The operation can fail in multiple places including in the middle and after the targets commit operations. For any such failures, immediately the error is returned to the damon_commit_ctx() caller. If some or all of the source target pids were committed to the destination during the unsuccessful context commit attempt, those pids should be put twice. The source context will do the put operations using the above explained routine. However, let's suppose the destination context was not originally using [f]vaddr operation set and the commit failed before the ops of the source context is committed. The destination does not have the cleanup_target() ops callback, so it cannot put the pids via the damon_destroy_ctx(). As a result, the pids are leaked. The issue in the real world would be not very common. The commit feature is for changing parameters of running DAMON context while inheriting internal status like the monitoring results. The monitoring results of a physical address range ain't have things that are beneficial to be inherited to a virtual address ranges monitoring. So the problem-causing DAMON control would be not very common in the real world. That said, it is a supported feature. And damon_commit_target() failure due to memory allocation is relatively realistic [1] if there are a huge number of target regions. Fix by putting the pids in the commit operation in case of the failures. The issue was discovered [2] by Sashiko.

2026-06-21mm: page_isolation: avoid unsafe folio reads while scanning compound pagesKaitao Cheng
page_is_unmovable() can inspect compound pages without holding a folio reference or any lock. The folio can therefore be freed, split or reused while the scanner is still looking at it. The existing HugeTLB handling already avoids folio_hstate() for this reason, but it still derives the hstate from folio_size() and later derives the scan step from folio_nr_pages() and folio_page_idx(). These helpers rely on the folio still being a valid folio head. If the folio changed concurrently, the scanner can read inconsistent folio metadata and compute a wrong step. In the worst case, folio_nr_pages() can return 1 for what used to be a tail page and the subtraction from folio_page_idx() can underflow. There is a similar issue for non-Hugetlb compound pages: folio_test_lru() expects a valid folio. If the previously observed head page has been reused as a tail page of another compound page, the folio flag checks can trigger VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(). Read the compound order once with compound_order(), reject obviously bogus orders, and derive the hstate and scan step from that order instead of querying folio size information again. Also use PageLRU(page), which is safe for the page being scanned, instead of folio_test_lru() on a potentially stale folio pointer. Treat an unknown HugeTLB hstate as unmovable so the scanner does not try to skip over an unstable HugeTLB folio.

Reading the debugfs "count" file of a memcg-aware shrinker can sleep inside an RCU read-side critical section: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:421 RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0 css_rstat_flush mem_cgroup_flush_stats zswap_shrinker_count shrinker_debugfs_count_show shrinker_debugfs_count_show() invokes the ->count_objects() callback under rcu_read_lock(). The zswap callback flushes memcg stats via css_rstat_flush(), which may sleep, so it must not run under RCU. The RCU lock is not needed here. mem_cgroup_iter() takes RCU internally and returns a memcg holding a css reference (dropped on the next iteration or by mem_cgroup_iter_break()), so the memcg stays alive without it. The shrinker is kept alive by the open debugfs file: shrinker_free() removes the debugfs entries via debugfs_remove_recursive(), which waits for in-flight readers to drain, before call_rcu(..., shrinker_free_rcu_cb). The sibling "scan" handler already invokes the sleeping ->scan_objects() callback with no RCU section. Drop the rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock().

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: enable clean pagecache folio collapse for writable filesZi Yan
collapse_file() is capable of collapsing pagecache folios from writable files to PMD folios. Now enable clean pagecache folio collapse in addition to read-only pagecache folio collapse by removing the inode_is_open_for_write() from file_thp_enabled() and only performing filemap_flush() if the file is read-only. This means userspace needs to explicitly flush the content of pagecache folios before khugepaged can collapse the folios, or use madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE), which does the flush in the retry. The reason is that blindly enabling dirty pagecache folio from writable files collapse makes khugepaged flush these folios all the time. It is undesirable to cause system level pagecache flushes. To properly support dirty pagecache folio collapse, filemap_flush() needs to be avoided. Potentially, merging associated buffer instead of dropping it with filemap_release_folio() might be needed. NOTE: this breaks khugepaged selftests for writable file pagecache collapse, which is set to fail all the time. The next commit fixes it.

2026-06-21mm/truncate: use folio_split() in truncate_inode_partial_folio()Zi Yan
After READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is removed, FS either supports large folio or not. folio_split() can be used on a FS with large folio support without worrying about getting a THP on a FS without large folio support. When READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was present, a PMD large pagecache folio can appear in a FS without large folio support after khugepaged or madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) creates it. During truncate_inode_partial_folio(), such a PMD large pagecache folio is split and if the FS does not support large folio, it needs to be split to order-0 ones and could not be split non uniformly to ones with various orders. try_folio_split_to_order() was added to handle this situation by checking folio_check_splittable(..., SPLIT_TYPE_NON_UNIFORM) to detect if the large folio is created due to READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS and the FS does not support large folio. Now READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is removed, all large pagecache folios are created with FSes supporting large folio, this function is no longer needed and all large pagecache folios can be split non uniformly.

2026-06-21mm: fs: remove filemap_nr_thps*() functions and their usersZi Yan
They are used by READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS to handle writes to FSes without large folio support, so that read-only THPs created in these FSes are not seen by the FSes when the underlying fd becomes writable. Now read-only PMD THPs only appear in a FS with large folio support and the supported orders include PMD_ORDER. READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was using mapping->nr_thps, inode->i_writecount, and smp_mb() to prevent writes to a read-only THP and collapsing writable folios into a THP. In collapse_file(), mapping->nr_thps is increased, then smp_mb(), and if inode->i_writecount > 0, collapse is stopped, while do_dentry_open() first increases inode->i_writecount, then a full memory fence, and if mapping->nr_thps > 0, all read-only THPs are truncated. Now this mechanism can be removed along with READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS code, since a dirty folio check has been added after try_to_unmap() in collapse_file() to prevent dirty folios from being collapsed as clean.

mthp_collapse() uses mthp_present_ptes to decide whether a range has enough occupied PTEs to try collapse. Swap PTEs accepted by collapse_scan_pmd() are counted in unmapped, but are not represented in mthp_present_ptes. When lower orders are enabled, collapse_scan_pmd() relaxes max_ptes_none so the scan can cover the whole PMD and build the bitmap. mthp_collapse() then checks the PMD-order candidate using the bitmap. With max_ptes_none set to 0, a range with 511 present PTEs and one swap PTE no longer reaches collapse_huge_page(), even though PMD collapse can handle swap PTEs up to max_ptes_swap. Account unmapped PTEs only for PMD order. PMD collapse supports swap PTEs through max_ptes_swap, while lower-order mTHP collapse does not currently support non-present PTEs. Keep non-present PTEs out of the lower-order eligibility check.

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: run khugepaged for all ordersBaolin Wang
If any order (m)THP is enabled we should allow running khugepaged to attempt scanning and collapsing mTHPs. In order for khugepaged to operate when only mTHP sizes are specified in sysfs, we must modify the predicate function that determines whether it ought to run to do so. This function is currently called hugepage_pmd_enabled(), this patch renames it to hugepage_enabled() and updates the logic to check to determine whether any valid orders may exist which would justify khugepaged running. We must also update collapse_possible_orders() to check all orders if the vma is anonymous and the collapse is khugepaged. After this patch khugepaged mTHP collapse is fully enabled.

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: introduce mTHP collapse supportNico Pache
Enable khugepaged to collapse to mTHP orders. This patch implements the main scanning logic using a bitmap to track occupied pages and the algorithm to find optimal collapse sizes. Previous to this patch, PMD collapse had 3 main phases, a light weight scanning phase (mmap_read_lock) that determines a potential PMD collapse, an alloc phase (mmap unlocked), then finally heavier collapse phase (mmap_write_lock). To enabled mTHP collapse we make the following changes: During PMD scan phase, track occupied pages in a bitmap. When mTHP orders are enabled, we remove the restriction of max_ptes_none during the scan phase to avoid missing potential mTHP collapse candidates. Once we have scanned the full PMD range and updated the bitmap to track occupied pages, we use the bitmap to find the optimal mTHP size. Implement mthp_collapse() to walk forward through the bitmap and determine the best eligible order for each naturally-aligned region. The algorithm starts at the beginning of the PMD range and, for each offset, tries the highest order that fits the alignment. If the number of occupied PTEs in that region satisfies the max_ptes_none threshold for that order, a collapse is attempted. On failure, the order is decremented and the same offset is retried at the next smaller size. Once the smallest enabled order is exhausted (or a collapse succeeds), the offset advances past the region just processed, and the next attempt starts at the highest order permitted by the new offset's natural alignment. The algorithm works as follows: 1) set offset=0 and order=HPAGE_PMD_ORDER 2) if the order is not enabled, go to step (5) 3) count occupied PTEs in the (offset, order) range using bitmap_weight_from() 4) if the count satisfies the max_ptes_none threshold, attempt collapse; on success, advance to step (6) 5) if a smaller enabled order exists, decrement order and retry from step (2) at the same offset 6) advance offset past the current region and compute the next order from the new offset's natural alignment via __ffs(offset), capped at HPAGE_PMD_ORDER 7) repeat from step (2) until the full PMD range is covered mTHP collapses reject regions containing swapped out or shared pages. This is because adding new entries can lead to new none pages, and these may lead to constant promotion into a higher order mTHP. A similar issue can occur with "max_ptes_none > HPAGE_PMD_NR/2" due to a collapse introducing at least 2x the number of pages, and on a future scan will satisfy the promotion condition once again. This issue is prevented via the collapse_max_ptes_none() function which imposes the max_ptes_none restrictions above. We currently only support mTHP collapse for max_ptes_none values of 0 and HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1. resulting in the following behavior: - max_ptes_none=0: Never introduce new empty pages during collapse - max_ptes_none=HPAGE_PMD_NR-1: Always try collapse to the highest available mTHP order Any other max_ptes_none value will emit a warning and default mTHP collapse to max_ptes_none=0. There should be no behavior change for PMD collapse. Once we determine what mTHP sizes fits best in that PMD range a collapse is attempted. A minimum collapse order of 2 is used as this is the lowest order supported by anon memory as defined by THP_ORDERS_ALL_ANON. Currently madv_collapse is not supported and will only attempt PMD collapse. We can also remove the check for is_khugepaged inside the PMD scan as the collapse_max_ptes_none() function handles this logic now.

We also add collapse_possible() as a thin wrapper around collapse_possible_orders() that returns a bool rather than the whole bitmap. This consolidates collapse configuration logic and provides a clean interface for future mTHP collapse support where the orders may be different.

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: add per-order mTHP collapse failure statisticsNico Pache
Add three new mTHP statistics to track collapse failures for different orders when encountering swap PTEs, excessive none PTEs, and shared PTEs: - collapse_exceed_swap_pte: Increment when mTHP collapse fails due to encountering a swap PTE. - collapse_exceed_none_pte: Counts when mTHP collapse fails due to exceeding the none PTE threshold for the given order - collapse_exceed_shared_pte: Counts when mTHP collapse fails due to encountering a shared PTE. These statistics complement the existing THP_SCAN_EXCEED_* events by providing per-order granularity for mTHP collapse attempts. The stats are exposed via sysfs under `/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*/stats/` for each supported hugepage size. As we currently do not support collapsing mTHPs that contain a swap or shared entry, those statistics keep track of how often we are encountering failed mTHP collapses due to these restrictions. We will add support for mTHP collapse for anonymous pages next; lets also track when this happens at the PMD level within the per-mTHP stats.

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: skip collapsing mTHP to smaller ordersNico Pache
khugepaged may try to collapse a mTHP to a folio of equal or smaller size, possibly resulting in a partially mapped source folio, which is undesired. Skip these cases until we have a way to check if its ok to collapse to a smaller mTHP size (like in the case of a partially mapped folio). This check is not done during the scan phase as the current collapse order is unknown at that time. This patch is inspired by Dev Jain's work on khugepaged mTHP support [1].

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: generalize collapse_huge_page for mTHP collapseNico Pache
Pass an order to collapse_huge_page to support collapsing anon memory to arbitrary orders within a PMD. order indicates what mTHP size we are attempting to collapse to. For non-PMD collapse we must leave the anon VMA write locked until after we collapse the mTHP-- in the PMD case all the pages are isolated, but in the mTHP case this is not true, and we must keep the lock to prevent access/changes to the page tables. This can happen if the rmap walkers hit a pmd_none while the PMD entry is currently unavailable due to being temporarily removed during the collapse phase. To properly establish the page table hierarchy without violating any expectations from certain architectures (e.g. MIPS), we must make sure to have the PMD reinstalled before the PTEs, and hold both PTE/PMD locks before calling update_mmu_cache_range() (if they are distinct locks).

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: require collapse_huge_page to enter/exit with the lock droppedNico Pache
Currently the collapse_huge_page function requires the mmap_read_lock to enter with it held, and exit with it dropped. This function moves the unlock into its parent caller, and changes this semantic to requiring it to enter/exit with it always unlocked. In future patches, we need this expectation, as for in mTHP collapse, we may have already dropped the lock, and do not want to conditionally check for this by passing through the lock_dropped variable. No functional change is expected as one of the first things the collapse_huge_page function does is drop this lock before allocating the hugepage.

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: generalize __collapse_huge_page_* for mTHP supportNico Pache
generalize the order of the __collapse_huge_page_* and collapse_max_* functions to support future mTHP collapse. The current mechanism for determining collapse with the khugepaged_max_ptes_none value is not designed with mTHP in mind. This raises a key design issue: if we support user defined max_pte_none values (even those scaled by order), a collapse of a lower order can introduces an feedback loop, or "creep", when max_ptes_none is set to a value greater than HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2. [1] With this configuration, a successful collapse to order N will populate enough pages to satisfy the collapse condition on order N+1 on the next scan. This leads to unnecessary work and memory churn. To fix this issue introduce a helper function that will limit mTHP collapse support to two max_ptes_none values, 0 and HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1. This effectively supports two modes: [2] - max_ptes_none=0: never collapses if it encounters an empty PTE or a PTE that maps the shared zeropage. Consequently, no memory bloat. - max_ptes_none=511 (on 4k pagesz): Always collapse to the highest available mTHP order. This removes the possibility of "creep", and a warning will be emitted if any non-supported max_ptes_none value is configured with mTHP enabled. Any intermediate value will default mTHP collapse to max_ptes_none=0. mTHP collapse will not honor the khugepaged_max_ptes_shared or khugepaged_max_ptes_swap parameters, and will fail if it encounters a shared or swapped entry. No functional changes in this patch; however it defines future behavior for mTHP collapse.

With these changes we abstract all the madvise_collapse() special casing (do not respect the sysctls) away from the functions that utilize them. And will be used later in this series to cleanly restrict the mTHP collapse behavior. No functional change is intended; however, we are now only reading the sysfs variables once per scan, whereas before these variables were being read on each loop iteration.

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: generalize hugepage_vma_revalidate for mTHP supportNico Pache
Patch series "khugepaged: add mTHP collapse support", v19. The following series provides khugepaged with the capability to collapse anonymous memory regions to mTHPs. To achieve this we generalize the khugepaged functions to no longer depend on PMD_ORDER. Then during the PMD scan, we use a bitmap to track individual pages that are occupied (!none/zero). After the PMD scan is done, we use the bitmap to find the optimal mTHP sizes for the PMD range. The restriction on max_ptes_none is removed during the scan, to make sure we account for the whole PMD range in the bitmap. When no mTHP size is enabled, the legacy behavior of khugepaged is maintained. We currently only support max_ptes_none values of 0 or HPAGE_PMD_NR - 1 (ie 511). If any other value is specified, the kernel will emit a warning and mTHP collapse will default to max_ptes_none=0. If a mTHP collapse is attempted, but contains swapped out, or shared pages, we don't perform the collapse. It is now also possible to collapse to mTHPs without requiring the PMD THP size to be enabled. These limitations are to prevent collapse "creep" behavior. This prevents constantly promoting mTHPs to the next available size, which would occur because a collapse introduces more non-zero pages that would satisfy the promotion condition on subsequent scans. Patch 1-2: Generalize hugepage_vma_revalidate and alloc_charge_folio for arbitrary orders. Patch 3: Rework max_ptes_* handling into helper functions Patch 4: Generalize __collapse_huge_page_* for mTHP support Patch 5: Require collapse_huge_page to enter/exit with the lock dropped Patch 6: Generalize collapse_huge_page for mTHP collapse Patch 7: Skip collapsing mTHP to smaller orders Patch 8-9: Add per-order mTHP statistics and tracepoints Patch 10: Introduce collapse_possible_orders helper functions Patch 11-13: Introduce bitmap and mTHP collapse support, fully enabled Patch 14: Documentation Testing: - Built for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x - ran all arches on test suites provided by the kernel-tests project - internal testing suites: functional testing and performance testing - selftests mm - I created a test script that I used to push khugepaged to its limits while monitoring a number of stats and tracepoints. The code is available here[1] (Run in legacy mode for these changes and set mthp sizes to inherit) The summary from my testings was that there was no significant regression noticed through this test. In some cases my changes had better collapse latencies, and was able to scan more pages in the same amount of time/work, but for the most part the results were consistent. - redis testing. I did some testing with these changes along with my defer changes (see followup [2] post for more details). We've decided to get the mTHP changes merged first before attempting the defer series. - some basic testing on 64k page size. - lots of general use. This patch (of 14): For khugepaged to support different mTHP orders, we must generalize this to check if the PMD is not shared by another VMA and that the order is enabled. We cannot collapse VMA regions that do not span the full PMD. This is due to the potential of the PMD being shared by another VMA which leaves us vulnerable to race conditions if neighboring VMAs are resized. Always check the PMD order here to ensure its not shared by another VMA. We'd need to lock all VMAs in the PMD range to support this which may lead to increased lock contention and code complexity.

2026-06-21mm/page_alloc: only update NUMA min ratios on sysctl writeJianlin Shi
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.

2026-06-21mm/alloc_tag: replace fixed-size early PFN array with dynamic linked listHao Ge
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.

2026-06-18mm/slab: replace __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE for sheavesVlastimil Babka (SUSE)
Finish the switch away from __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT by replacing it with SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE when allocating empty sheaves. Pass alloc_flags to [__]alloc_empty_sheaf(). Callers that can't be part of a recursive kmalloc() chain simply pass SLAB_ALLOC_DEFAULT. Use kmalloc_flags() instead of kzalloc() for allocating the sheaf. With that we can finalize the removal the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT handling from obj_ext allocations as well, leaving only SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE in place. This leaves __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT with no users in slab, so stop allowing the flag in kmalloc_nolock().
