mm/debug: fix missing space in case statement

2025-11-17T01:28:29+00:00

In setup_vm_debug() , the case statement for 'p' option is written as 'case'p':' without a space between 'case' and the character constant. While this is syntactically valid C, it violates the Linux kernel coding style, which requires a space after 'case'. This patch adds the missing space to comply with coding standards.

mm: convert core mm to mm_flags_*() accessors

2025-09-13T23:54:56+00:00

As part of the effort to move to mm->flags becoming a bitmap field, convert existing users to making use of the mm_flags_*() accessors which will, when the conversion is complete, be the only means of accessing mm_struct flags. This will result in the debug output being that of a bitmap output, which will result in a minor change here, but since this is for debug only, this should have no bearing. Otherwise, no functional changes intended.

mm/util: introduce snapshot_page()

2025-07-25T02:12:35+00:00

This commit refactors __dump_page() into snapshot_page(). snapshot_page() tries to take a faithful snapshot of a page and its folio representation. The snapshot is returned in the struct page_snapshot parameter along with additional flags that are best retrieved at snapshot creation time to reduce race windows. This function is intended to be used by callers that need a stable representation of a struct page and struct folio so that pointers or page information doesn't change while working on a page. The idea and original implementation of snapshot_page() comes from Matthew Wilcox with suggestions for improvements from David Hildenbrand. All bugs and misconceptions are mine.

mm: update core kernel code to use vm_flags_t consistently

2025-07-10T05:42:13+00:00

The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this. While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type. Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes. To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit. The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code as far as is needed. We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

mm/debug: fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()

2025-05-12T00:48:17+00:00

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 is passed to the function by commit 4ffca5a96678 ("mm: support only one page_type per page") where page_type_has_type() is replaced by page_mapcount_is_type(), but the parameter isn't adjusted. Fix the parameter for page_mapcount_is_type() to be (page->__mapcount + 1). Note that the issue doesn't cause any visible impacts due to the safety gap introduced by PGTY_mapcount_underflow limit.

mm: move _pincount in folio to page[2] on 32bit

2025-03-18T05:06:44+00:00

Let's free up some space on 32bit in page[1] by moving the _pincount to page[2]. For order-1 folios (never anon folios!) on 32bit, we will now also use the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS approach. A fully-mapped order-1 folio requires 2 references. With GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS being 1024, we'd detect such folios as "maybe pinned" with 512 full mappings, instead of 1024 for order-0. As anon folios are out of the picture (which are the most relevant users of checking for pinnings on *mapped* pages) and we are talking about 32bit, this is not expected to cause any trouble. In __dump_page(), copy one additional folio page if we detect a folio with an order > 1, so we can dump the pincount on order > 1 folios reliably. Note that THPs on 32bit are not particularly common (and we don't care too much about performance), but we want to keep it working reliably, because likely we want to use large folios there as well in the future, independent of PMD leaf support. Once we dynamically allocate "struct folio", fortunately the 32bit specifics will likely go away again; even small folios could then have a pincount and folio_has_pincount() would essentially always return "true".

mm: eliminate adj_start parameter from commit_merge()

2025-03-17T05:06:02+00:00

Introduce internal vmg->__adjust_middle_start and vmg->__adjust_next_start merge flags, enabling us to indicate to commit_merge() that we are performing a merge which either spans only part of vmg->middle, or part of vmg->next respectively. In the former instance, we change the start of vmg->middle to match the attributes of vmg->prev, without spanning all of vmg->middle. This implies that vmg->prev->vm_end and vmg->middle->vm_start are both increased to form the new merged VMA (vmg->prev) and the new subsequent VMA (vmg->middle). In the latter case, we change the end of vmg->middle to match the attributes of vmg->next, without spanning all of vmg->next. This implies that vmg->middle->vm_end and vmg->next->vm_start are both decreased to form the new merged VMA (vmg->next) and the new prior VMA (vmg->middle). Since we now have a stable set of prev, middle, next VMAs threaded through vmg and with these flags set know what is happening, we can perform the calculation in commit_merge() instead. This allows us to drop the confusing adj_start parameter and instead pass semantic information to commit_merge(). In the latter case the -(middle->vm_end - start) calculation becomes -(middle->vm-end - vmg->end), however this is correct as vmg->end is set to the start parameter. This is because in this case (rather confusingly), we manipulate vmg->middle, but ultimately return vmg->next, whose range will be correctly specified. At this point vmg->start, end is the new range for the prior VMA rather than the merged one. This patch has no change in functional behaviour.
