Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents. - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement. - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the hugetlb code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-05-31-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (285 commits) mm: pcp: increase pcp->free_count threshold to trigger free_high mm/hugetlb: convert use of struct page to folio in __unmap_hugepage_range() mm/hugetlb: refactor __unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio instead of page mm/hugetlb: refactor unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio instead of page mm/hugetlb: pass folio instead of page to unmap_ref_private() memcg: objcg stock trylock without irq disabling memcg: no stock lock for cpu hot-unplug memcg: make __mod_memcg_lruvec_state re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: make count_memcg_events re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: make mod_memcg_state re-entrant safe against irqs memcg: move preempt disable to callers of memcg_rstat_updated memcg: memcg_rstat_updated re-entrant safe against irqs mm: khugepaged: decouple SHMEM and file folios' collapse selftests/eventfd: correct test name and improve messages alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init Docs/damon: update titles and brief introductions to explain DAMOS selftests/damon/_damon_sysfs: read tried regions directories in order mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: add a test for damos_set_filters_default_reject() mm/damon/paddr: remove unused variable, folio_list, in damon_pa_stat() mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: fix wrong comment on damons_sysfs_quota_goal_metric_strs ...

mm: khugepaged: convert set_huge_pmd() to take a folio

2025-05-22T21:55:37Z

We've already gotten the stable locked folio in collapse_pte_mapped_thp(), so just use folio for set_huge_pmd() to set the PMD entry, which is more straightforward. Moreover, we will check the folio size in do_set_pmd(), so we can remove the unnecessary VM_BUG_ON() in set_huge_pmd(). While we are at it, we can also remove the PageTransHuge(), as it currently has no callers.

highmem: add folio_test_partial_kmap()

2025-05-21T05:49:39Z

In commit c749d9b7ebbc ("iov_iter: fix copy_page_from_iter_atomic() if KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP"), Hugh correctly noted that if KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP is enabled, we must limit ourselves to PAGE_SIZE bytes per call to kmap_local(). The same problem exists in memcpy_from_folio(), memcpy_to_folio(), folio_zero_tail(), folio_fill_tail() and memcpy_from_file_folio(), so add folio_test_partial_kmap() to do this more succinctly.

mm: fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()

2025-05-12T00:48:17Z

Patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()", v2. Found by code inspection. There are two places where the parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type() is (page->_mapcount), which is incorrect since it should be one more than the value, as explained in the comments to page_mapcount_is_type(): (a) page_has_type() in page-flags.h (b) __dump_folio() in mm/debug.c PATCH[1] fixes the parameter for (a) PATCH[2] fixes the parameter for (b) Note that the issue doesn't cause any visible impacts due to the safety gap introduced by PGTY_mapcount_underflow limit. So the tag 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' isn't needed. This patch (of 2): As the comments of page_mapcount_is_type() indicate, the parameter passed to the function should be one more than page->_mapcount. However, page->_mapcount (equivalent to page->page_type) is passed to the function by commit 4ffca5a96678 ("mm: support only one page_type per page") page_type_has_type() is replaced by page_mapcount_is_type(), but the parameter isn't adjusted. Fix it by replacing page_mapcount_is_type() with page_type_has_type() in page_has_type(). Note that the issue doesn't cause any visible impacts due to the safety gap introduced by PGTY_mapcount_underflow limit.

mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix memory loads ordering

2025-04-01T22:14:42Z

Using x86_64 as an example, for a 32KB struct page[] area describing a 2MB hugeTLB, HVO reduces the area to 4KB by the following steps: 1. Split the (r/w vmemmap) PMD mapping the area into 512 (r/w) PTEs; 2. For the 8 PTEs mapping the area, remap PTE 1-7 to the page mapped by PTE 0, and at the same time change the permission from r/w to r/o; 3. Free the pages PTE 1-7 used to map, hence the reduction from 32KB to 4KB. However, the following race can happen due to improperly memory loads ordering: CPU 1 (HVO) CPU 2 (speculative PFN walker) page_ref_freeze() synchronize_rcu() rcu_read_lock() page_is_fake_head() is false vmemmap_remap_pte() XXX: struct page[] becomes r/o page_ref_unfreeze() page_ref_count() is not zero atomic_add_unless(&page->_refcount) XXX: try to modify r/o struct page[] Specifically, page_is_fake_head() must be ordered after page_ref_count() on CPU 2 so that it can only return true for this case, to avoid the later attempt to modify r/o struct page[]. This patch adds the missing memory barrier and makes the tests on page_is_fake_head() and page_ref_count() done in the proper order.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that.

mm/rmap: basic MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb)

2025-03-18T05:06:46Z

For small folios, we traditionally use the mapcount to decide whether it was "certainly mapped exclusively" by a single MM (mapcount == 1) or whether it "maybe mapped shared" by multiple MMs (mapcount > 1). For PMD-sized folios that were PMD-mapped, we were able to use a similar mechanism (single PMD mapping), but for PTE-mapped folios and in the future folios that span multiple PMDs, this does not work. So we need a different mechanism to handle large folios. Let's add a new mechanism to detect whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively", or whether it is "maybe mapped shared". We'll use this information next to optimize CoW reuse for PTE-mapped anonymous THP, and to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared(), independent of per-page mapcounts. For each large folio, we'll have two slots, whereby a slot stores: (1) an MM id: unique id assigned to each MM (2) a per-MM mapcount If a slot is unoccupied, it can be taken by the next MM that maps folio page. In addition, we'll remember the current state -- "mapped exclusively" vs. "maybe mapped shared" -- and use a bit spinlock to sync on updates and to reduce the total number of atomic accesses on updates. In the future, it might be possible to squeeze a proper spinlock into "struct folio". For now, keep it simple, as we require the whole thing with THP only, that is incompatible with RT. As we have to squeeze this information into the "struct folio" of even folios of order-1 (2 pages), and we generally want to reduce the required metadata, we'll assign each MM a unique ID that can fit into an int. In total, we can squeeze everything into 4x int (2x long) on 64bit. 32bit support is a bit challenging, because we only have 2x long == 2x int in order-1 folios. But we can make it work for now, because we neither expect many MMs nor very large folios on 32bit. We will reliably detect folios as "mapped exclusively" vs. "mapped shared" as long as only two MMs map pages of a folio at one point in time -- for example with fork() and short-lived child processes, or with apps that hand over state from one instance to another. As soon as three MMs are involved at the same time, we might detect "maybe mapped shared" although the folio is "mapped exclusively". Example 1: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (4) App1 unmaps all folio pages -> We will detect "mapped exclusively". Example 2: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (3) App3 faults in a folio page -> No slot available, tracked as "unknown" (4) App1 and App2 unmap all folio pages -> We will detect "maybe mapped shared". Make use of __always_inline to keep possible performance degradation when (un)mapping large folios to a minimum. Note: by squeezing the two flags into the "unsigned long" that stores the MM ids, we can use non-atomic __bit_spin_unlock() and non-atomic setting/clearing of the "maybe mapped shared" bit, effectively not adding any new atomics on the hot path when updating the large mapcount + new metadata, which further helps reduce the runtime overhead in micro-benchmarks.

2025-03-18T05:06:38Z

The page ->mapping pointer can have magic values like PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_SHARED and PAGE_MAPPING_ANON for page owner specific usage. Currently PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_SHARED and PAGE_MAPPING_ANON alias to the same value. This isn't a problem because FS DAX pages are never seen by the anonymous mapping code and vice versa. However a future change will make FS DAX pages more like normal pages, so folio_test_anon() must not return true for a FS DAX page. We could explicitly test for a FS DAX page in folio_test_anon(), etc. however the PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_SHARED flag isn't actually needed. Instead we can use the page->mapping field to implicitly track the first mapping of a page. If page->mapping is non-NULL it implies the page is associated with a single mapping at page->index. If the page is associated with a second mapping clear page->mapping and set page->share to 1. This is possible because a shared mapping implies the file-system implements dax_holder_operations which makes the ->mapping and ->index, which is a union with ->share, unused. The page is considered shared when page->mapping == NULL and page->share > 0 or page->mapping != NULL, implying it is present in at least one address space. This also makes it easier for a future change to detect when a page is first mapped into an address space which requires special handling.
