The code is designed to work this way without disabling IRQs and occasionally fail the trylock with a fallback. However, the SMP=n spinlock implementation assumes spin_trylock() will always succeed, and thus it's normally a no-op. Here the enabled lock debugging catches the problem, but otherwise it could cause a corruption of the pcp structure. The problem has been introduced by commit 574907741599 ("mm/page_alloc: leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations"). The pcp locking scheme recognizes the need for disabling IRQs to prevent nesting spin_trylock() sections on SMP=n, but the need to prevent the nesting in spin_lock() has not been recognized. Fix it by introducing local wrappers that change the spin_lock() to spin_lock_iqsave() with SMP=n and use them in all places that do spin_lock(&pcp->lock).

mm/page_alloc: batch page freeing in decay_pcp_high

2026-01-23T10:18:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit fc4b909c368f3a7b08c895dd5926476b58e85312 ] It is possible for pcp->count - pcp->high to exceed pcp->batch by a lot. When this happens, we should perform batching to ensure that free_pcppages_bulk isn't called with too many pages to free at once and starve out other threads that need the pcp or zone lock. Since we are still only freeing the difference between the initial pcp->count and pcp->high values, there should be no change to how many pages are freed.

mm/page_alloc/vmstat: simplify refresh_cpu_vm_stats change detection

2026-01-23T10:18:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0acc67c4030c39f39ac90413cc5d0abddd3a9527 ] Patch series "mm/page_alloc: Batch callers of free_pcppages_bulk", v5. Motivation & Approach ===================== While testing workloads with high sustained memory pressure on large machines in the Meta fleet (1Tb memory, 316 CPUs), we saw an unexpectedly high number of softlockups. Further investigation showed that the zone lock in free_pcppages_bulk was being held for a long time, and was called to free 2k+ pages over 100 times just during boot. This causes starvation in other processes for the zone lock, which can lead to the system stalling as multiple threads cannot make progress without the locks. We can see these issues manifesting as warnings: [ 4512.591979] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU [ 4512.604370] rcu: 20-....: (9312 ticks this GP) idle=a654/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=309340/309344 fqs=5426 [ 4512.626401] rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system [ 4512.638793] rcu: number: 0 145 0 [ 4512.651177] rcu: cputime: 30 10410 174 ==> 10558(ms) [ 4512.666657] rcu: (t=21077 jiffies g=783665 q=1242213 ncpus=316) While these warnings don't indicate a crash or a kernel panic, they do point to the underlying issue of lock contention. To prevent starvation in both locks, batch the freeing of pages using pcp->batch. Because free_pcppages_bulk is called with the pcp lock and acquires the zone lock, relinquishing and reacquiring the locks are only effective when both of them are broken together (unless the system was built with queued spinlocks). Thus, instead of modifying free_pcppages_bulk to break both locks, batch the freeing from its callers instead. A similar fix has been implemented in the Meta fleet, and we have seen significantly less softlockups. Testing ======= The following are a few synthetic benchmarks, made on three machines. The first is a large machine with 754GiB memory and 316 processors. The second is a relatively smaller machine with 251GiB memory and 176 processors. The third and final is the smallest of the three, which has 62GiB memory and 36 processors. On all machines, I kick off a kernel build with -j$(nproc). Negative delta is better (faster compilation). Large machine (754GiB memory, 316 processors) make -j$(nproc) +------------+---------------+-----------+ | Metric (s) | Variation (%) | Delta(%) | +------------+---------------+-----------+ | real | 0.8070 | - 1.4865 | | user | 0.2823 | + 0.4081 | | sys | 5.0267 | -11.8737 | +------------+---------------+-----------+ Medium machine (251GiB memory, 176 processors) make -j$(nproc) +------------+---------------+----------+ | Metric (s) | Variation (%) | Delta(%) | +------------+---------------+----------+ | real | 0.2806 | +0.0351 | | user | 0.0994 | +0.3170 | | sys | 0.6229 | -0.6277 | +------------+---------------+----------+ Small machine (62GiB memory, 36 processors) make -j$(nproc) +------------+---------------+----------+ | Metric (s) | Variation (%) | Delta(%) | +------------+---------------+----------+ | real | 0.1503 | -2.6585 | | user | 0.0431 | -2.2984 | | sys | 0.1870 | -3.2013 | +------------+---------------+----------+ Here, variation is the coefficient of variation, i.e. standard deviation / mean. Based on these results, it seems like there are varying degrees to how much lock contention this reduces. For the largest and smallest machines that I ran the tests on, it seems like there is quite some significant reduction. There is also some performance increases visible from userspace. Interestingly, the performance gains don't scale with the size of the machine, but rather there seems to be a dip in the gain there is for the medium-sized machine. One possible theory is that because the high watermark depends on both memory and the number of local CPUs, what impacts zone contention the most is not these individual values, but rather the ratio of mem:processors. This patch (of 5): Currently, refresh_cpu_vm_stats returns an int, indicating how many changes were made during its updates. Using this information, callers like vmstat_update can heuristically determine if more work will be done in the future. However, all of refresh_cpu_vm_stats's callers either (a) ignore the result, only caring about performing the updates, or (b) only care about whether changes were made, but not *how many* changes were made. Simplify the code by returning a bool instead to indicate if updates were made. In addition, simplify fold_diff and decay_pcp_high to return a bool for the same reason.

mm/fake-numa: allow later numa node hotplug

2026-01-23T10:18:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 63db8170bf34ce9e0763f87d993cf9b4c9002b09 ] Current fake-numa implementation prevents new Numa nodes to be later hot-plugged by drivers. A common symptom of this limitation is the "node was absent from the node_possible_map" message by associated warning in mm/memory_hotplug.c: add_memory_resource(). This comes from the lack of remapping in both pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] tables to take fake-numa nodes into account and thus triggers collisions with original and physical nodes only-mapping that had been determined from BIOS tables. This patch fixes this by doing the necessary node-ids translation in both pxm_to_node_map[]/node_to_pxm_map[] tables. node_distance[] table has also been fixed accordingly. Details: When trying to use fake-numa feature on our system where new Numa nodes are being "hot-plugged" upon driver load, this fails with the following type of message and warning with stack : node 8 was absent from the node_possible_map WARNING: CPU: 61 PID: 4259 at mm/memory_hotplug.c:1506 add_memory_resource+0x3dc/0x418 This issue prevents the use of the fake-NUMA debug feature with the system's full configuration, when it has proven to be sometimes extremely useful for performance testing of multi-tasked, memory-bound applications, as it enables better isolation of processes/ranks compared to fat NUMA nodes.
