virtio_balloon: set unspecified page reporting order

2026-04-05T20:53:17+00:00

virtio_balloon page reporting order is set to MAX_PAGE_ORDER implicitly as vb->prdev.order is never initialised and is auto-set to zero. Explicitly mention usage of default page order by making use of PAGE_REPORTING_ORDER_UNSPECIFIED fallback value.

mm: move pgscan, pgsteal, pgrefill to node stats

2026-04-05T20:52:58+00:00

There are situations where reclaim kicks in on a system with free memory. One possible cause is a NUMA imbalance scenario where one or more nodes are under pressure. It would help if we could easily identify such nodes. Move the pgscan, pgsteal, and pgrefill counters from vm_event_item to node_stat_item to provide per-node reclaim visibility. With these counters as node stats, the values are now displayed in the per-node section of /proc/zoneinfo, which allows for quick identification of the affected nodes. /proc/vmstat continues to report the same counters, aggregated across all nodes. But the ordering of these items within the readout changes as they move from the vm events section to the node stats section. Memcg accounting of these counters is preserved. The relocated counters remain visible in memory.stat alongside the existing aggregate pgscan and pgsteal counters. However, this change affects how the global counters are accumulated. Previously, the global event count update was gated on !cgroup_reclaim(), excluding memcg-based reclaim from /proc/vmstat. Now that mod_lruvec_state() is being used to update the counters, the global counters will include all reclaim. This is consistent with how pgdemote counters are already tracked. Finally, the virtio_balloon driver is updated to use global_node_page_state() to fetch the counters, as they are no longer accessible through the vm_events array.

dma-mapping: Clarify valid conditions for CPU cache line overlap

2026-03-20T10:33:24+00:00

Rename the DMA_ATTR_CPU_CACHE_CLEAN attribute to better reflect that it is debugging aid to inform DMA core code that CPU cache line overlaps are allowed, and refine the documentation describing its use.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook
