Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity" (Li Wang) Remove some noise from the MM selftests build - "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently" (Ryan Roberts) Speed up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by first scanning them for coalescing opportunities. This is applicable to vfree() and to the releasing of frozen pages - "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota charge ratio" (SeongJae Park) Address a DAMOS usability issue: The DAMOS quota often exhausts prematurely because it charges for all memory attempted, causing slow and inconsistent performance when actions fail on unreclaimable memory. To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions. Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing - "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness and support large page sizes" (Li Wang) Fix various spurious failures and improves the overall robustness of the cgroup zswap selftests - "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno" (Anthony Yznaga) Fix an issue in the mlock selftests on arm32 - "mm: huge_memory: clean up defrag sysfs with shared" (Breno Leitao) Some maintenance work in the huge_memory code - "treewide: fixup gfp_t printks" (Brendan Jackman) Use the special vprintf() gfp_t conversion in various places - "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and initialization" (Muchun Song) Fix several bugs in the vmemmap optimization, mainly around incorrect page accounting and memmap initialization in the DAX and memory hotplug paths. It also fixes pageblock migratetype initialization and struct page initialization for ZONE_DEVICE compound pages - "mm/damon: repost non-hotfix reviewed patches in damon/next tree" A sprinkle of unrelated minor bugfixes for DAMON - "mm: remove page_mapped()" (David Hildenbrand) Remove this function from the tree, replacing it with folio_mapped() - "mm/damon: let DAMON be paused and resumed" (SeongJae Park) Allow DAMON to be paused and resumed without losing its current state - "kasan: hw_tags: Disable tagging for stack and page-tables" (Muhammad Usama Anjum) Simplify and speed up kasan by removing its ineffective tagging of stacks and page tables - "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: monitor all system rams by default" (SeongJae Park) Simplify deployment on diverse hardware like NUMA systems by updating DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to automatically monitor the physical address range covering all System RAM areas by default, replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only targeted the single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead - "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as deprecated" (SeongJae Park) Update some DAMON docs - "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" (Dmitry Ilvokhin) Switch zone->lock handling over to using the guard() mechanisms - "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting" (fujunjie) Fix a flaw where the mmap_miss counter over-credited page cache hits during fault-arounds and page-fault retries. This results in significant reduction of redundant synchronous mmap readahead I/O, drastically cutting down execution time and gigabytes read for sparse random or strided memory access workloads - "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in test_percpu_basic" (Li Wang) Fix a couple of false-positives in the cgroup kmem selftests - "mm/damon/reclaim: support monitoring intervals auto-tuning" (SeongJae Park) Add a new parameter to DAMON permitting DAMON_RECLAIM to automatically tune DAMON's sampling and aggregation intervals - "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter" (SeongJae Park) Change DAMON_STAT to provide the pid of its kdamond - "mm/kmemleak: dedupe verbose scan output" (Breno Leitao) Remove large amounts of duplicated backtraces from the verbose-mode kmemleak output - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) Reduce our use of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, with a view to removing it entirely in a later series - "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of 2" (Liew Rui Yan) Prevent users from passing a non-power-of-2 value of `addr_unit', as this later results in undesirable behavior - "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" (Frederick Mayle) - "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" (Ye Liu) Fix three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c - "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" (Brendan Jackman) Implement several cleanups in the page allocator and related code - "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation" (Kairui Song) Unify the allocation and charging of anon and shmem swap in folios, provides better synchronization, consolidates the metadata management, hence dropping the static array and map, and improves performance - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring" (SeongJae Park( Extend DAMON to monitor general data attributes other than accesses - "mm/vmalloc: free unused pages on vrealloc() shrink" (Shivam Kalra) Implement the TODO in vrealloc() to unmap and free unused pages when shrinking across a page boundary - "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" (niecheng) - "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Eliminate custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the problematic success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access uninitialized VMAs. It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code field and updates the memory char driver accordingly - "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability and tests" (SeongJae Park) - "mm/damon: fix macro arguments and clarify quota goals doc" (Maksym Shcherba) - "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c" (Mike Rapoport) - "mm/mglru: improve reclaim loop and dirty folio" (Kairui Song and others) Clean up and slightly improves MGLRU's reclaim loop and dirty writeback handling.

selftests/cgroup: rename PAGE_SIZE to BUF_SIZE in cgroup_util

2026-05-29T04:04:46+00:00

The cgroup utility code defines a local PAGE_SIZE macro hardcoded to 4096, which is used primarily as a generic buffer size for reading cgroup and proc files. This naming is misleading because the value has nothing to do with the actual page size of the system. On architectures with larger pages (e.g., 64K on arm64 or ppc64), the name suggests a relationship that does not exist. Additionally, the name can shadow or conflict with PAGE_SIZE definitions from system headers, leading to confusion or subtle bugs. To resolve this, rename the macro to BUF_SIZE to accurately reflect its purpose as a general I/O buffer size. Furthermore, test_memcontrol currently relies on this hardcoded 4K value to stride through memory and trigger page faults. Update this logic to use the actual system page size dynamically. This micro-optimizes the memory faulting process by ensuring it iterates correctly and efficiently based on the underlying architecture's true page size.

selftests/cgroup: Add NULL check after malloc in cgroup_util.c

2026-05-11T08:28:58+00:00

Add NULL checks after malloc() in three helper functions to prevent NULL pointer dereference on memory allocation failure. - cg_name() - cg_name_indexed() - cg_control() These functions allocate memory with malloc() but previously called snprintf() unconditionally, which would trigger undefined behavior if allocation fails.

selftests/cgroup: Fix cg_read_strcmp() empty string comparison

2026-05-11T01:53:44+00:00

cg_read_strcmp() allocated a buffer sized to strlen(expected) + 1, then passed it to read_text() which calls read(fd, buf, size-1). When comparing against an empty string (""), strlen("") = 0 gives a 1-byte buffer, and read() is asked to read 0 bytes. The file content is never actually read, so strcmp("", buf) always returns 0 regardless of the real content. This caused cg_test_proc_killed() to always report the cgroup as empty immediately, making OOM tests pass without verifying that processes were killed.

selftests/cgroup: Don't require synchronous populated update on task exit

2026-03-24T20:21:57+00:00

test_cgcore_populated (test_core) and test_cgkill_{simple,tree,forkbomb} (test_kill) check cgroup.events "populated 0" immediately after reaping child tasks with waitpid(). This used to work because cgroup_task_exit() in do_exit() unlinked tasks from css_sets before exit_notify() woke up waitpid(). d245698d727a ("cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done switching out") moved the unlink to cgroup_task_dead() in finish_task_switch(), which runs after exit_notify(). The populated counter is now decremented after the parent's waitpid() can return, so there is no longer a synchronous ordering guarantee. On PREEMPT_RT, where cgroup_task_dead() is further deferred through lazy irq_work, the race window is even larger. The synchronous populated transition was never part of the cgroup interface contract - it was an implementation artifact. Use cg_read_strcmp_wait() which retries for up to 1 second, matching what these tests actually need to verify: that the cgroup eventually becomes unpopulated after all tasks exit.

selftests: cgroup: Add cg_read_key_long_poll() to poll a cgroup key with retries

2025-12-08T18:44:54+00:00

Introduce a new helper function `cg_read_key_long_poll()` in cgroup_util.h. This function polls the specified key in a cgroup file until it matches the expected value or the retry limit is reached, with configurable wait intervals between retries. This helper is particularly useful for handling asynchronously updated cgroup statistics (e.g., memory.stat), where immediate reads may observe stale values, especially on busy systems. It allows tests and other utilities to handle such cases more flexibly.

selftests: cgroup: add values_close_report helper

2025-10-15T15:00:49+00:00

Some cgroup selftests, such as test_cpu, occasionally fail by a very small margin and if run in the CI context, it is useful to have detailed diagnostic output to understand the deviation. Introduce a values_close_report() helper which performs the same comparison as values_close(), but prints detailed information when the values differ beyond the allowed tolerance.

selftests: cgroup: Make test_pids backwards compatible

2025-08-27T15:59:52+00:00

The predicates in test expect event counting from 73e75e6fc352b ("cgroup/pids: Separate semantics of pids.events related to pids.max") and the test would fail on older kernels. We want to have one version of tests for all, so detect the feature and skip the test on old kernels. (The test could even switch to check v1 semantics based on the flag but keep it simple for now.)
