mm/kfence: fix KASAN hardware tag faults during late enablement

2026-03-25T10:08:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit d155aab90fffa00f93cea1f107aef0a3d548b2ff ] When KASAN hardware tags are enabled, re-enabling KFENCE late (via /sys/module/kfence/parameters/sample_interval) causes KASAN faults. This happens because the KFENCE pool and metadata are allocated via the page allocator, which tags the memory, while KFENCE continues to access it using untagged pointers during initialization. Use __GFP_SKIP_KASAN for late KFENCE pool and metadata allocations to ensure the memory remains untagged, consistent with early allocations from memblock. To support this, add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN to the allowlist in __alloc_contig_verify_gfp_mask().

mm/page_alloc: forward the gfp flags from alloc_contig_range() to post_alloc_hook()

2026-03-25T10:08:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7b755570064fcb9cde37afd48f6bc65151097ba7 ] In the __GFP_COMP case, we already pass the gfp_flags to prep_new_page()->post_alloc_hook(). However, in the !__GFP_COMP case, we essentially pass only hardcoded __GFP_MOVABLE to post_alloc_hook(), preventing some action modifiers from being effective.. Let's pass our now properly adjusted gfp flags there as well. This way, we can now support __GFP_ZERO for alloc_contig_*(). As a side effect, we now also support __GFP_SKIP_ZERO and__GFP_ZEROTAGS; but we'll keep the more special stuff (KASAN, NOLOCKDEP) disabled for now. It's worth noting that with __GFP_ZERO, we might unnecessarily zero pages when we have to release part of our range using free_contig_range() again. This can be optimized in the future, if ever required; the caller we'll be converting (powernv/memtrace) next won't trigger this.

mm/page_alloc: sort out the alloc_contig_range() gfp flags mess

2026-03-25T10:08:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit f6037a4a686523dee1967ef7620349822e019ff8 ] It's all a bit complicated for alloc_contig_range(). For example, we don't support many flags, so let's start bailing out on unsupported ones -- ignoring the placement hints, as we are already given the range to allocate. While we currently set cc.gfp_mask, in __alloc_contig_migrate_range() we simply create yet another GFP mask whereby we ignore the reclaim flags specify by the caller. That looks very inconsistent. Let's clean it up, constructing the gfp flags used for compaction/migration exactly once. Update the documentation of the gfp_mask parameter for alloc_contig_range() and alloc_contig_pages().

mm, page_alloc, thp: prevent reclaim for __GFP_THISNODE THP allocations

2026-03-04T12:21:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9c9828d3ead69416d731b1238802af31760c823e ] Since commit cc638f329ef6 ("mm, thp: tweak reclaim/compaction effort of local-only and all-node allocations"), THP page fault allocations have settled on the following scheme (from the commit log): 1. local node only THP allocation with no reclaim, just compaction. 2. for madvised VMA's or when synchronous compaction is enabled always - THP allocation from any node with effort determined by global defrag setting and VMA madvise 3. fallback to base pages on any node Recent customer reports however revealed we have a gap in step 1 above. What we have seen is excessive reclaim due to THP page faults on a NUMA node that's close to its high watermark, while other nodes have plenty of free memory. The problem with step 1 is that it promises no reclaim after the compaction attempt, however reclaim is only avoided for certain compaction outcomes (deferred, or skipped due to insufficient free base pages), and not e.g. when compaction is actually performed but fails (we did see compact_fail vmstat counter increasing). THP page faults can therefore exhibit a zone_reclaim_mode-like behavior, which is not the intention. Thus add a check for __GFP_THISNODE that corresponds to this exact situation and prevents continuing with reclaim/compaction once the initial compaction attempt isn't successful in allocating the page. Note that commit cc638f329ef6 has not introduced this over-reclaim possibility; it appears to exist in some form since commit 2f0799a0ffc0 ("mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations"). Followup commits b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed") and cc638f329ef6 have moved in the right direction, but left the abovementioned gap.

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/page_alloc: change all pageblocks migrate type on coalescing

[ Upstream commit 7838a4eb8a1d23160bd3f588ea7f2b8f7c00c55b ] When a page is freed it coalesces with a buddy into a higher order page while possible.

However, only the first pageblock of the buddy page is updated, while the rest of the pageblocks are left unchanged. That causes warnings in later expand() and other code paths (like below), since an inconsistency between migration type of the list containing the page and the page-owned pageblocks migration types is introduced.
