mm/zone_device: reinitialize large zone device private folios

2026-01-27T03:03:48+00:00

Reinitialize metadata for large zone device private folios in zone_device_page_init prior to creating a higher-order zone device private folio. This step is necessary when the folio's order changes dynamically between zone_device_page_init calls to avoid building a corrupt folio. As part of the metadata reinitialization, the dev_pagemap must be passed in from the caller because the pgmap stored in the folio page may have been overwritten with a compound head. Without this fix, individual pages could have invalid pgmap fields and flags (with PG_locked being notably problematic) due to prior different order allocations, which can, and will, result in kernel crashes.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM: - Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal manner - Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the one that acked the IRQ - Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page table walkers and shadow MMU - Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM - Minor fixes to KVM and selftests Loongarch: - Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register - Add AVEC basic support - Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC - Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests RISC/V: - SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest - Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file - Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually in small chunks - Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions - Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores s390: - Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was introduced by z114/z196 in 2010 - VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support - Operation exception forwarding support - Cleanups x86: - Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to zap - Relocate a misplaced export - Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM - Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown, keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down - Use the checked version of {get,put}_user() - Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host - Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections - Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS - Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been fixed - Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with large multi-byte instructions x86 (AMD): - Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs - Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation - Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode - Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VMRUN and #VMEXIT - Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3 - Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that don't require any actual support from KVM x86 (Intel): - Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous flush - Add a few missing nested consistency checks - Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform - Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter - Misc cleanups - Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird, ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host kernel) - Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through - Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL) - Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace - Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber host MSRs as expected Selftests: - Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU system/VM - Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line - Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well - Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using 5-level paging, but L2 is not - Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core logic for nested EPT and nested NPT guest_memfd: - Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way - Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references - Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors - Misc cleanups Generic: - Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU workqueue for irqfd cleanup - Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation - Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to kvm_vcpu_on_spin();

mm/zone_device: rename page_free callback to folio_free

2025-11-24T23:08:47+00:00

Change page_free to folio_free to make the folio support for zone device-private more consistent. The PCI P2PDMA callback has also been updated and changed to folio_free() as a result. For drivers that do not support folios (yet), the folio is converted back into page via &folio->page and the page is used as is, in the current callback implementation.

mm/zone_device: support large zone device private folios

2025-11-24T23:08:47+00:00

Patch series "mm: support device-private THP", v7. This patch series introduces support for Transparent Huge Page (THP) migration in zone device-private memory. The implementation enables efficient migration of large folios between system memory and device-private memory Background Current zone device-private memory implementation only supports PAGE_SIZE granularity, leading to: - Increased TLB pressure - Inefficient migration between CPU and device memory This series extends the existing zone device-private infrastructure to support THP, leading to: - Reduced page table overhead - Improved memory bandwidth utilization - Seamless fallback to base pages when needed In my local testing (using lib/test_hmm) and a throughput test, the series shows a 350% improvement in data transfer throughput and a 80% improvement in latency These patches build on the earlier posts by Ralph Campbell [1] Two new flags are added in vma_migration to select and mark compound pages. migrate_vma_setup(), migrate_vma_pages() and migrate_vma_finalize() support migration of these pages when MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_COMPOUND is passed in as arguments. The series also adds zone device awareness to (m)THP pages along with fault handling of large zone device private pages. page vma walk and the rmap code is also zone device aware. Support has also been added for folios that might need to be split in the middle of migration (when the src and dst do not agree on MIGRATE_PFN_COMPOUND), that occurs when src side of the migration can migrate large pages, but the destination has not been able to allocate large pages. The code supported and used folio_split() when migrating THP pages, this is used when MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_COMPOUND is not passed as an argument to migrate_vma_setup(). The test infrastructure lib/test_hmm.c has been enhanced to support THP migration. A new ioctl to emulate failure of large page allocations has been added to test the folio split code path. hmm-tests.c has new test cases for huge page migration and to test the folio split path. A new throughput test has been added as well. The nouveau dmem code has been enhanced to use the new THP migration capability. mTHP support: The patches hard code, HPAGE_PMD_NR in a few places, but the code has been kept generic to support various order sizes. With additional refactoring of the code support of different order sizes should be possible. The future plan is to post enhancements to support mTHP with a rough design as follows: 1. Add the notion of allowable thp orders to the HMM based test driver 2. For non PMD based THP paths in migrate_device.c, check to see if a suitable order is found and supported by the driver 3. Iterate across orders to check the highest supported order for migration 4. Migrate and finalize The mTHP patches can be built on top of this series, the key design elements that need to be worked out are infrastructure and driver support for multiple ordered pages and their migration. HMM support for large folios was added in 10b9feee2d0d ("mm/hmm: populate PFNs from PMD swap entry"). This patch (of 16) Add routines to support allocation of large order zone device folios and helper functions for zone device folios, to check if a folio is device private and helpers for setting zone device data. When large folios are used, the existing page_free() callback in pgmap is called when the folio is freed, this is true for both PAGE_SIZE and higher order pages. Zone device private large folios do not support deferred split and scan like normal THP folios.

KVM: Rename kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl() to kvm_arch_vcpu_unlocked_ioctl()

2025-11-05T19:03:11+00:00

Rename the "async" ioctl API to "unlocked" so that upcoming usage in x86's TDX code doesn't result in a massive misnomer. To avoid having to retry SEAMCALLs, TDX needs to acquire kvm->lock *and* all vcpu->mutex locks, and acquiring all of those locks after/inside the current vCPU's mutex is a non-starter. However, TDX also needs to acquire the vCPU's mutex and load the vCPU, i.e. the handling is very much not async to the vCPU. No functional change intended.

KVM: Make support for kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl() mandatory

2025-11-05T19:03:10+00:00

Implement kvm_arch_vcpu_async_ioctl() "natively" in x86 and arm64 instead of relying on an #ifdef'd stub, and drop HAVE_KVM_VCPU_ASYNC_IOCTL in anticipation of using the API on x86. Once x86 uses the API, providing a stub for one architecture and having all other architectures opt-in requires more code than simply implementing the API in the lone holdout. Eliminating the Kconfig will also reduce churn if the API is renamed in the future (spoiler alert). No functional change intended.

powerpc, ocxl: Fix extraction of struct xive_irq_data

2025-10-13T04:10:55+00:00

Commit cc0cc23babc9 ("powerpc/xive: Untangle xive from child interrupt controller drivers") changed xive_irq_data to be stashed to chip_data instead of handler_data. However, multiple places are still attempting to read xive_irq_data from handler_data and get a NULL pointer deference bug. Update them to read xive_irq_data from chip_data. Non-XIVE files which touch xive_irq_data seem quite strange to me, especially the ocxl driver. I think there ought to be an alternative platform-independent solution, instead of touching XIVE's data directly. Therefore, I think this whole thing should be cleaned up. But perhaps I just misunderstand something. In any case, this cleanup would not be trivial; for now, just get things working again.

"stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

"selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types.

"mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

"mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file.

mm: update architecture and driver code to use vm_flags_t

2025-07-10T05:42:14+00:00

In future we intend to change the vm_flags_t type, so it isn't correct for architecture and driver code to assume it is unsigned long. Correct this assumption across the board. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.
