mm: restore per-memcg proactive reclaim with !CONFIG_NUMA

2026-01-30T09:32:15+00:00

commit 16aca2c98a6fdf071e5a1a765a295995d7c7e346 upstream. Commit 2b7226af730c ("mm/memcg: make memory.reclaim interface generic") moved proactive reclaim logic from memory.reclaim handler to a generic user_proactive_reclaim() helper to be used for per-node proactive reclaim. However, user_proactive_reclaim() was only defined under CONFIG_NUMA, with a stub always returning 0 otherwise. This broke memory.reclaim on !CONFIG_NUMA configs, causing it to report success without actually attempting reclaim. Move the definition of user_proactive_reclaim() outside CONFIG_NUMA, and instead define a stub for __node_reclaim() in the !CONFIG_NUMA case. __node_reclaim() is only called from user_proactive_reclaim() when a write is made to sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim, which is only defined with CONFIG_NUMA.

mm: specify separate file and vm_file params in vm_area_desc

2025-09-23T03:17:11+00:00

Patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()", v2. As part of the efforts to eliminate the problematic f_op->mmap callback, a new callback - f_op->mmap_prepare was provided. While we are converting these callbacks, we must deal with 'stacked' filesystems and drivers - those which in their own f_op->mmap callback invoke an inner f_op->mmap callback. To accomodate for this, a compatibility layer is provided that, via vfs_mmap(), detects if f_op->mmap_prepare is provided and if so, generates a vm_area_desc containing the VMA's metadata and invokes the call. So far, we have provided desc->file equal to vma->vm_file. However this is not necessarily valid, especially in the case of stacked drivers which wish to assign a new file after the inner hook is invoked. To account for this, we adjust vm_area_desc to have both file and vm_file fields. The .vm_file field is strictly set to vma->vm_file (or in the case of a new mapping, what will become vma->vm_file). However, .file is set to whichever file vfs_mmap() is invoked with when using the compatibilty layer. Therefore, if the VMA's file needs to be updated in .mmap_prepare, desc->vm_file should be assigned, whilst desc->file should be read. No current f_op->mmap_prepare users assign desc->file so this is safe to do. This makes the .mmap_prepare callback in the context of a stacked filesystem or driver completely consistent with the existing .mmap implementations. While we're here, we do a few small cleanups, and ensure that we const-ify things correctly in the vm_area_desc struct to avoid hooks accidentally trying to assign fields they should not. This patch (of 2): Stacked filesystems and drivers may invoke mmap hooks with a struct file pointer that differs from the overlying file. We will make this functionality possible in a subsequent patch. In order to prepare for this, let's update vm_area_struct to separately provide desc->file and desc->vm_file parameters. The desc->file parameter is the file that the hook is expected to operate upon, and is not assignable (though the hok may wish to e.g. update the file's accessed time for instance). The desc->vm_file defaults to what will become vma->vm_file and is what the hook must reassign should it wish to change the VMA"s vma->vm_file. For now we keep desc->file, vm_file the same to remain consistent. No f_op->mmap_prepare() callback sets a new vma->vm_file currently, so this is safe to change. While we're here, make the mm_struct desc->mm pointers at immutable as well as the desc->mm field itself. As part of this change, also update the single hook which this would otherwise break - mlock_future_ok(), invoked by secretmem_mmap_prepare()). We additionally update set_vma_from_desc() to compare fields in a more logical fashion, checking the (possibly) user-modified fields as the first operand against the existing value as the second one. Additionally, update VMA tests to accommodate changes.

mm: remove is_migrate_highatomic()

2025-09-13T23:55:16+00:00

There are 3 potential reasons for is_migrate_*() helpers: 1. They represent higher-level attributes of migratetypes, like is_migrate_movable() 2. They are ifdef'd, like is_migrate_isolate(). 3. For consistency with an is_migrate_*_page() helper, also like is_migrate_isolate(). It looks like is_migrate_highatomic() was for case 3, but that was removed in commit e0932b6c1f94 ("mm: page_alloc: consolidate free page accounting"). So remove the indirection and go back to a simple comparison.

mm: correct type for vmalloc vm_flags fields

2025-08-02T19:06:13+00:00

Several functions refer to the unfortunately named 'vm_flags' field when referencing vmalloc flags, which happens to be the precise same name used for VMA flags. As a result these were erroneously changed to use the vm_flags_t type (which currently is a typedef equivalent to unsigned long). Currently this has no impact, but in future when vm_flags_t changes this will result in issues, so change the type to unsigned long to account for this.

"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. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios.
