2 daysmm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr before accessing contexts_arr[0]Josh Law1-0/+3
commit 1bfe9fb5ed2667fb075682408b776b5273162615 upstream. Multiple sysfs command paths dereference contexts_arr[0] without first verifying that kdamond->contexts->nr == 1. A user can set nr_contexts to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, causing NULL pointer dereferences. In more detail, the issue can be triggered by privileged users like below. First, start DAMON and make contexts directory empty (kdamond->contexts->nr == 0). # damo start # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0 # echo 0 > contexts/nr_contexts Then, each of below commands will cause the NULL pointer dereference. # echo update_schemes_stats > state # echo update_schemes_tried_regions > state # echo update_schemes_tried_bytes > state # echo update_schemes_effective_quotas > state # echo update_tuned_intervals > state Guard all commands (except OFF) at the entry point of damon_sysfs_handle_cmd().

11 daysmm/shmem, swap: avoid redundant Xarray lookup during swapinKairui Song1-9/+25
commit 0cfc0e7e3d062b93e9eec6828de000981cdfb152 upstream. Currently shmem calls xa_get_order to get the swap radix entry order, requiring a full tree walk. This can be easily combined with the swap entry value checking (shmem_confirm_swap) to avoid the duplicated lookup and abort early if the entry is gone already. Which should improve the performance.

11 daysmm/shmem, swap: improve cached mTHP handling and fix potential hangKairui Song1-9/+30
commit 5c241ed8d031693dadf33dd98ed2e7cc363e9b66 upstream. The current swap-in code assumes that, when a swap entry in shmem mapping is order 0, its cached folios (if present) must be order 0 too, which turns out not always correct. The problem is shmem_split_large_entry is called before verifying the folio will eventually be swapped in, one possible race is: CPU1 CPU2 shmem_swapin_folio /* swap in of order > 0 swap entry S1 */ folio = swap_cache_get_folio /* folio = NULL */ order = xa_get_order /* order > 0 */ folio = shmem_swap_alloc_folio /* mTHP alloc failure, folio = NULL */ <... Interrupted ...> shmem_swapin_folio /* S1 is swapped in */ shmem_writeout /* S1 is swapped out, folio cached */ shmem_split_large_entry(..., S1) /* S1 is split, but the folio covering it has order > 0 now */ Now any following swapin of S1 will hang: `xa_get_order` returns 0, and folio lookup will return a folio with order > 0. The `xa_get_order(&mapping->i_pages, index) != folio_order(folio)` will always return false causing swap-in to return -EEXIST. And this looks fragile. So fix this up by allowing seeing a larger folio in swap cache, and check the whole shmem mapping range covered by the swapin have the right swap value upon inserting the folio. And drop the redundant tree walks before the insertion. This will actually improve performance, as it avoids two redundant Xarray tree walks in the hot path, and the only side effect is that in the failure path, shmem may redundantly reallocate a few folios causing temporary slight memory pressure. And worth noting, it may seems the order and value check before inserting might help reducing the lock contention, which is not true. The swap cache layer ensures raced swapin will either see a swap cache folio or failed to do a swapin (we have SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit even if swap cache is bypassed), so holding the folio lock and checking the folio flag is already good enough for avoiding the lock contention. The chance that a folio passes the swap entry value check but the shmem mapping slot has changed should be very low.

11 daysmm: shmem: fix potential data corruption during shmem swapinBaolin Wang1-3/+27
commit 058313515d5aab10d0a01dd634f92ed4a4e71d4c upstream. Alex and Kairui reported some issues (system hang or data corruption) when swapping out or swapping in large shmem folios. This is especially easy to reproduce when the tmpfs is mount with the 'huge=within_size' parameter. Thanks to Kairui's reproducer, the issue can be easily replicated. The root cause of the problem is that swap readahead may asynchronously swap in order 0 folios into the swap cache, while the shmem mapping can still store large swap entries. Then an order 0 folio is inserted into the shmem mapping without splitting the large swap entry, which overwrites the original large swap entry, leading to data corruption. When getting a folio from the swap cache, we should split the large swap entry stored in the shmem mapping if the orders do not match, to fix this issue.

[ 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().

11 daysmm/page_alloc: forward the gfp flags from alloc_contig_range() to ↵David Hildenbrand1-4/+5
post_alloc_hook() [ 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.

[ 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().

2026-03-04mm: numa_memblks: Identify the accurate NUMA ID of CFMWCui Chao1-4/+5
[ Upstream commit f043a93fff9e3e3e648b6525483f59104b0819fa ] In some physical memory layout designs, the address space of CFMW (CXL Fixed Memory Window) resides between multiple segments of system memory belonging to the same NUMA node. In numa_cleanup_meminfo, these multiple segments of system memory are merged into a larger numa_memblk. When identifying which NUMA node the CFMW belongs to, it may be incorrectly assigned to the NUMA node of the merged system memory. When a CXL RAM region is created in userspace, the memory capacity of the newly created region is not added to the CFMW-dedicated NUMA node. Instead, it is accumulated into an existing NUMA node (e.g., NUMA0 containing RAM). This makes it impossible to clearly distinguish between the two types of memory, which may affect memory-tiering applications. Example memory layout: Physical address space: 0x00000000 - 0x1FFFFFFF System RAM (node0) 0x20000000 - 0x2FFFFFFF CXL CFMW (node2) 0x40000000 - 0x5FFFFFFF System RAM (node0) 0x60000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF System RAM (node1) After numa_cleanup_meminfo, the two node0 segments are merged into one: 0x00000000 - 0x5FFFFFFF System RAM (node0) // CFMW is inside the range 0x60000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF System RAM (node1) So the CFMW (0x20000000-0x2FFFFFFF) will be incorrectly assigned to node0. To address this scenario, accurately identifying the correct NUMA node can be achieved by checking whether the region belongs to both numa_meminfo and numa_reserved_meminfo. While this issue is only observed in a QEMU configuration, and no known end users are impacted by this problem, it is likely that some firmware implementation is leaving memory map holes in a CXL Fixed Memory Window. CXL hotplug depends on mapping free window capacity, and it seems to be only a coincidence to have not hit this problem yet.

2026-03-04mm/slab: use unsigned long for orig_size to ensure proper metadata alignHarry Yoo1-7/+7
[ Upstream commit b85f369b81aed457acbea4ad3314218254a72fd2 ] When both KASAN and SLAB_STORE_USER are enabled, accesses to struct kasan_alloc_meta fields can be misaligned on 64-bit architectures. This occurs because orig_size is currently defined as unsigned int, which only guarantees 4-byte alignment. When struct kasan_alloc_meta is placed after orig_size, it may end up at a 4-byte boundary rather than the required 8-byte boundary on 64-bit systems. Note that 64-bit architectures without HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS are assumed to require 64-bit accesses to be 64-bit aligned. See HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS and commit adab66b71abf ("Revert: "ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS"") for more details. Change orig_size from unsigned int to unsigned long to ensure proper alignment for any subsequent metadata.

2026-03-04mm/vmalloc: prevent RCU stalls in kasan_release_vmalloc_nodeDeepanshu Kartikey1-0/+8
[ Upstream commit 5747435e0fd474c24530ef1a6822f47e7d264b27 ] When CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER is enabled, freeing KASAN shadow pages during vmalloc cleanup triggers expensive stack unwinding that acquires RCU read locks. Processing a large purge_list without rescheduling can cause the task to hold CPU for extended periods (10+ seconds), leading to RCU stalls and potential OOM conditions. The issue manifests in purge_vmap_node() -> kasan_release_vmalloc_node() where iterating through hundreds or thousands of vmap_area entries and freeing their associated shadow pages causes: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: rcu: Tasks blocked on level-0 rcu_node (CPUs 0-1): P6229/1:b..l ... task:kworker/0:17 state:R running task stack:28840 pid:6229 ... kasan_release_vmalloc_node+0x1ba/0xad0 mm/vmalloc.c:2299 purge_vmap_node+0x1ba/0xad0 mm/vmalloc.c:2299 Each call to kasan_release_vmalloc() can free many pages, and with page_owner tracking, each free triggers save_stack() which performs stack unwinding under RCU read lock. Without yielding, this creates an unbounded RCU critical section. Add periodic cond_resched() calls within the loop to allow: - RCU grace periods to complete - Other tasks to run - Scheduler to preempt when needed The fix uses need_resched() for immediate response under load, with a batch count of 32 as a guaranteed upper bound to prevent worst-case stalls even under light load.

2026-03-04mm, page_alloc, thp: prevent reclaim for __GFP_THISNODE THP allocationsVlastimil Babka1-0/+14
[ 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.

2026-02-19mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using ↵David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)3-59/+122
mmu_gather commit 8ce720d5bd91e9dc16db3604aa4b1bf76770a9a1 upstream. As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page tables that it severely regresses some workloads. In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per unshared PMD table. There are two optimizations to be had: (1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table. Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before we drop the lock. (2) When we are not the last sharer (> 2 users including us), there is no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted by the last sharer. Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs. Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI broadcast. (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle this) So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation. To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide tlb_gather_mmu_vma(). We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables. Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables(). From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is still held. Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier. Document it all properly. Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing: There are two fairly tricky things: (1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb->freed_tables is set. The relevant architectures should be selecting MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch. Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different when tlb->freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also take care of tlb->unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting tlb->freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush too much, because the semantics of tlb->freed_tables are a bit fuzzy. This patch changes nothing in this regard. (2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync. Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB) we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the second tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as described in (1), it really must honor tlb->freed_tables then to send IPIs to all relevant CPUs. Notes on TLB flushing changes: (1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine. (2) Flushing for shared PMD tables We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(), tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range(). tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios. Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing. Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB flushing keeps on working as expected. Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed separately as a cleanup later. There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until this is fixed.

2026-02-19mm/hugetlb: fix two comments related to huge_pmd_unshare()David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)1-16/+8
commit 3937027caecb4f8251e82dd857ba1d749bb5a428 upstream. Ever since we stopped using the page count to detect shared PMD page tables, these comments are outdated. The only reason we have to flush the TLB early is because once we drop the i_mmap_rwsem, the previously shared page table could get freed (to then get reallocated and used for other purpose). So we really have to flush the TLB before that could happen. So let's simplify the comments a bit. The "If we unshared PMDs, the TLB flush was not recorded in mmu_gather." part introduced as in commit a4a118f2eead ("hugetlbfs: flush TLBs correctly after huge_pmd_unshare") was confusing: sure it is recorded in the mmu_gather, otherwise tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() wouldn't do anything. So let's drop that comment while at it as well. We'll centralize these comments in a single helper as we rework the code next.

2026-02-11mm, shmem: prevent infinite loop on truncate raceKairui Song1-9/+14
commit 2030dddf95451b4e7a389f052091e7c4b7b274c6 upstream. When truncating a large swap entry, shmem_free_swap() returns 0 when the entry's index doesn't match the given index due to lookup alignment. The failure fallback path checks if the entry crosses the end border and aborts when it happens, so truncate won't erase an unexpected entry or range. But one scenario was ignored. When `index` points to the middle of a large swap entry, and the large swap entry doesn't go across the end border, find_get_entries() will return that large swap entry as the first item in the batch with `indices[0]` equal to `index`. The entry's base index will be smaller than `indices[0]`, so shmem_free_swap() will fail and return 0 due to the "base < index" check. The code will then call shmem_confirm_swap(), get the order, check if it crosses the END boundary (which it doesn't), and retry with the same index. The next iteration will find the same entry again at the same index with same indices, leading to an infinite loop. Fix this by retrying with a round-down index, and abort if the index is smaller than the truncate range.

2026-02-06mm/shmem, swap: fix race of truncate and swap entry splitKairui Song1-11/+34
commit 8a1968bd997f45a9b11aefeabdd1232e1b6c7184 upstream. The helper for shmem swap freeing is not handling the order of swap entries correctly. It uses xa_cmpxchg_irq to erase the swap entry, but it gets the entry order before that using xa_get_order without lock protection, and it may get an outdated order value if the entry is split or changed in other ways after the xa_get_order and before the xa_cmpxchg_irq. And besides, the order could grow and be larger than expected, and cause truncation to erase data beyond the end border. For example, if the target entry and following entries are swapped in or freed, then a large folio was added in place and swapped out, using the same entry, the xa_cmpxchg_irq will still succeed, it's very unlikely to happen though. To fix that, open code the Xarray cmpxchg and put the order retrieval and value checking in the same critical section. Also, ensure the order won't exceed the end border, skip it if the entry goes across the border. Skipping large swap entries crosses the end border is safe here. Shmem truncate iterates the range twice, in the first iteration, find_lock_entries already filtered such entries, and shmem will swapin the entries that cross the end border and partially truncate the folio (split the folio or at least zero part of it). So in the second loop here, if we see a swap entry that crosses the end order, it must at least have its content erased already. I observed random swapoff hangs and kernel panics when stress testing ZSWAP with shmem. After applying this patch, all problems are gone.

2026-02-06mm/memory-failure: teach kill_accessing_process to accept hugetlb tail page pfnJane Chu1-6/+8
commit 057a6f2632c956483e2b2628477f0fcd1cd8a844 upstream. When a hugetlb folio is being poisoned again, try_memory_failure_hugetlb() passed head pfn to kill_accessing_process(), that is not right. The precise pfn of the poisoned page should be used in order to determine the precise vaddr as the SIGBUS payload. This issue has already been taken care of in the normal path, that is, hwpoison_user_mappings(), see [1][2]. Further more, for [3] to work correctly in the hugetlb repoisoning case, it's essential to inform VM the precise poisoned page, not the head page.

2026-02-06mm/memory-failure: fix missing ->mf_stats count in hugetlb poisonJane Chu1-37/+56
commit a148a2040191b12b45b82cb29c281cb3036baf90 upstream. When a newly poisoned subpage ends up in an already poisoned hugetlb folio, 'num_poisoned_pages' is incremented, but the per node ->mf_stats is not. Fix the inconsistency by designating action_result() to update them both. While at it, define __get_huge_page_for_hwpoison() return values in terms of symbol names for better readibility. Also rename folio_set_hugetlb_hwpoison() to hugetlb_update_hwpoison() since the function does more than the conventional bit setting and the fact three possible return values are expected.

commit b7880cb166ab62c2409046b2347261abf701530e upstream. Syzbot has found a deadlock (analyzed by Lance Yang): 1) Task (5749): Holds folio_lock, then tries to acquire i_mmap_rwsem(read lock). 2) Task (5754): Holds i_mmap_rwsem(write lock), then tries to acquire folio_lock. migrate_pages() -> migrate_hugetlbs() -> unmap_and_move_huge_page() <- Takes folio_lock! -> remove_migration_ptes() -> __rmap_walk_file() -> i_mmap_lock_read() <- Waits for i_mmap_rwsem(read lock)! hugetlbfs_fallocate() -> hugetlbfs_punch_hole() <- Takes i_mmap_rwsem(write lock)! -> hugetlbfs_zero_partial_page() -> filemap_lock_hugetlb_folio() -> filemap_lock_folio() -> __filemap_get_folio <- Waits for folio_lock! The migration path is the one taking locks in the wrong order according to the documentation at the top of mm/rmap.c. So expand the scope of the existing i_mmap_lock to cover the calls to remove_migration_ptes() too. This is (mostly) how it used to be after commit c0d0381ade79. That was removed by 336bf30eb765 for both file & anon hugetlb pages when it should only have been removed for anon hugetlb pages.

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).

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.

2026-01-23mm/page_alloc/vmstat: simplify refresh_cpu_vm_stats change detectionJoshua Hahn2-17/+19
[ 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.

2026-01-23mm/fake-numa: allow later numa node hotplugBruno Faccini2-8/+39
[ Upstream commit 63db8170bf34ce9e0763f87d993cf9b4c9002b09 ] Current fake-numa implementation prevents new Numa nodes to be later hot-plugged by drivers. A common symptom of this limitation is the "node <X> was absent from the node_possible_map" message by associated warning in mm/memory_hotplug.c: add_memory_resource(). This comes from the lack of remapping in both pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] tables to take fake-numa nodes into account and thus triggers collisions with original and physical nodes only-mapping that had been determined from BIOS tables. This patch fixes this by doing the necessary node-ids translation in both pxm_to_node_map[]/node_to_pxm_map[] tables. node_distance[] table has also been fixed accordingly. Details: When trying to use fake-numa feature on our system where new Numa nodes are being "hot-plugged" upon driver load, this fails with the following type of message and warning with stack : node 8 was absent from the node_possible_map WARNING: CPU: 61 PID: 4259 at mm/memory_hotplug.c:1506 add_memory_resource+0x3dc/0x418 This issue prevents the use of the fake-NUMA debug feature with the system's full configuration, when it has proven to be sometimes extremely useful for performance testing of multi-tasked, memory-bound applications, as it enables better isolation of processes/ranks compared to fat NUMA nodes. Usual numactl output after driver has “hot-plugged”/unveiled some new Numa nodes with and without memory : $ numactl --hardware available: 9 nodes (0-8) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 node 0 size: 490037 MB node 0 free: 484432 MB node 1 cpus: node 1 size: 97280 MB node 1 free: 97279 MB node 2 cpus: node 2 size: 0 MB node 2 free: 0 MB node 3 cpus: node 3 size: 0 MB node 3 free: 0 MB node 4 cpus: node 4 size: 0 MB node 4 free: 0 MB node 5 cpus: node 5 size: 0 MB node 5 free: 0 MB node 6 cpus: node 6 size: 0 MB node 6 free: 0 MB node 7 cpus: node 7 size: 0 MB node 7 free: 0 MB node 8 cpus: node 8 size: 0 MB node 8 free: 0 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0: 10 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 1: 80 10 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 2: 80 255 10 255 255 255 255 255 255 3: 80 255 255 10 255 255 255 255 255 4: 80 255 255 255 10 255 255 255 255 5: 80 255 255 255 255 10 255 255 255 6: 80 255 255 255 255 255 10 255 255 7: 80 255 255 255 255 255 255 10 255 8: 80 255 255 255 255 255 255 255 10 With recent M.Rapoport set of fake-numa patches in mm-everything and using numa=fake=4 boot parameter : $ numactl --hardware available: 4 nodes (0-3) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 node 0 size: 122518 MB node 0 free: 117141 MB node 1 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 node 1 size: 219911 MB node 1 free: 219751 MB node 2 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 node 2 size: 122599 MB node 2 free: 122541 MB node 3 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 node 3 size: 122479 MB node 3 free: 122408 MB node distances: node 0 1 2 3 0: 10 10 10 10 1: 10 10 10 10 2: 10 10 10 10 3: 10 10 10 10 With recent M.Rapoport set of fake-numa patches in mm-everything, this patch on top, using numa=fake=4 boot parameter : #

2026-01-23mm: kmsan: fix poisoning of high-order non-compound pagesRyan Roberts1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit 4795d205d78690a46b60164f44b8bb7b3e800865 ] kmsan_free_page() is called by the page allocator's free_pages_prepare() during page freeing. Its job is to poison all the memory covered by the page. It can be called with an order-0 page, a compound high-order page or a non-compound high-order page. But page_size() only works for order-0 and compound pages. For a non-compound high-order page it will incorrectly return PAGE_SIZE. The implication is that the tail pages of a high-order non-compound page do not get poisoned at free, so any invalid access while they are free could go unnoticed. It looks like the pages will be poisoned again at allocation time, so that would bookend the window. Fix this by using the order parameter to calculate the size.

When page isolation loops indefinitely during memory offline, reading /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_high_fraction blocks on pcp_batch_high_lock, causing hung task warnings. Make procfs reads lock-free since percpu_pagelist_high_fraction is a simple integer with naturally atomic reads, writers still serialize via the mutex. This prevents hung task warnings when reading the procfs file during long-running memory offline operations.

2026-01-23x86/kaslr: Recognize all ZONE_DEVICE users as physaddr consumersDan Williams1-4/+8
commit 269031b15c1433ff39e30fa7ea3ab8f0be9d6ae2 upstream. Commit 7ffb791423c7 ("x86/kaslr: Reduce KASLR entropy on most x86 systems") is too narrow. The effect being mitigated in that commit is caused by ZONE_DEVICE which PCI_P2PDMA has a dependency. ZONE_DEVICE, in general, lets any physical address be added to the direct-map. I.e. not only ACPI hotplug ranges, CXL Memory Windows, or EFI Specific Purpose Memory, but also any PCI MMIO range for the DEVICE_PRIVATE and PCI_P2PDMA cases. Update the mitigation, limit KASLR entropy, to apply in all ZONE_DEVICE=y cases. Distro kernels typically have PCI_P2PDMA=y, so the practical exposure of this problem is limited to the PCI_P2PDMA=n case. A potential path to recover entropy would be to walk ACPI and determine the limits for hotplug and PCI MMIO before kernel_randomize_memory(). On smaller systems that could yield some KASLR address bits. This needs additional investigation to determine if some limited ACPI table scanning can happen this early without an open coded solution like arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c needs to deploy.

2026-01-11mm/page_alloc: change all pageblocks migrate type on coalescingAlexander Gordeev1-12/+12
[ Upstream commit 7838a4eb8a1d23160bd3f588ea7f2b8f7c00c55b ] When a page is freed it coalesces with a buddy into a higher order page while possible. When the buddy page migrate type differs, it is expected to be updated to match the one of the page being freed. 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.

damon_do_test_apply_three_regions() commit 2b22d0fcc6320ba29b2122434c1d2f0785fb0a25 upstream. damon_do_test_apply_three_regions() is assuming all dynamic memory allocation in it will succeed. Those are indeed likely in the real use cases since those allocations are too small to fail, but theoretically those could fail. In the case, inappropriate memory access can happen. Fix it by appropriately cleanup pre-allocated memory and skip the execution of the remaining tests in the failure cases.

2026-01-08mm/balloon_compaction: convert balloon_page_delete() to balloon_page_finalize()David Hildenbrand1-1/+2
[ Upstream commit 15504b1163007bbfbd9a63460d5c14737c16e96d ] Let's move the removal of the page from the balloon list into the single caller, to remove the dependency on the PG_isolated flag and clarify locking requirements. Note that for now, balloon_page_delete() was used on two paths: (1) Removing a page from the balloon for deflation through balloon_page_list_dequeue() (2) Removing an isolated page from the balloon for migration in the per-driver migration handlers. Isolated pages were already removed from the balloon list during isolation. So instead of relying on the flag, we can just distinguish both cases directly and handle it accordingly in the caller. We'll shuffle the operations a bit such that they logically make more sense (e.g., remove from the list before clearing flags). In balloon migration functions we can now move the balloon_page_finalize() out of the balloon lock and perform the finalization just before dropping the balloon reference.

2026-01-08mm/balloon_compaction: we cannot have isolated pages in the balloon listDavid Hildenbrand1-6/+0
[ Upstream commit fb05f992b6bbb4702307d96f00703ee637b24dbf ] Patch series "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)", v2. In the future, as we decouple "struct page" from "struct folio", pages that support "non-lru page migration" -- movable_ops page migration such as memory balloons and zsmalloc -- will no longer be folios. They will not have ->mapping, ->lru, and likely no refcount and no page lock. But they will have a type and flags 🙂 This is the first part (other parts not written yet) of decoupling movable_ops page migration from folio migration. In this series, we get rid of the ->mapping usage, and start cleaning up the code + separating it from folio migration. Migration core will have to be further reworked to not treat movable_ops pages like folios. This is the first step into that direction. This patch (of 29): The core will set PG_isolated only after mops->isolate_page() was called. In case of the balloon, that is where we will remove it from the balloon list. So we cannot have isolated pages in the balloon list. Let's drop this unnecessary check.

2026-01-08mm/ksm: fix exec/fork inheritance support for prctlxu xin1-2/+16
[ Upstream commit 590c03ca6a3fbb114396673314e2aa483839608b ] Patch series "ksm: fix exec/fork inheritance", v2. This series fixes exec/fork inheritance. See the detailed description of the issue below. This patch (of 2): Background ========== commit d7597f59d1d33 ("mm: add new api to enable ksm per process") introduced MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY for mm->flags, and allowed user to set it by prctl() so that the process's VMAs are forcibly scanned by ksmd. Subsequently, the 3c6f33b7273a ("mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl") supported inheriting the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag when a task calls execve(). Finally, commit 3a9e567ca45fb ("mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl") fixed the issue that ksmd doesn't scan the mm_struct with MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY by adding the mm_slot to ksm_mm_head in __bprm_mm_init(). Problem ======= In some extreme scenarios, however, this inheritance of MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY during exec/fork can fail. For example, when the scanning frequency of ksmd is tuned extremely high, a process carrying MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY may still fail to pass it to the newly exec'd process. This happens because ksm_execve() is executed too early in the do_execve flow (prematurely adding the new mm_struct to the ksm_mm_slot list). As a result, before do_execve completes, ksmd may have already performed a scan and found that this new mm_struct has no VM_MERGEABLE VMAs, thus clearing its MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag. Consequently, when the new program executes, the flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY inheritance missed. Root reason =========== commit d7597f59d1d33 ("mm: add new api to enable ksm per process") clear the flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY when ksmd found no VM_MERGEABLE VMAs. Solution ======== Firstly, Don't clear MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY when ksmd found no VM_MERGEABLE VMAs, because perhaps their mm_struct has just been added to ksm_mm_slot list, and its process has not yet officially started running or has not yet performed mmap/brk to allocate anonymous VMAS. Secondly, recheck MMF_VM_MERGEABLE again if a process takes MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY, and create a mm_slot and join it into ksm_scan_list again.

2026-01-08kasan: unpoison vms[area] addresses with a common tagMaciej Wieczor-Retman1-3/+18
commit 6a0e5b333842cf65d6f4e4f0a2a4386504802515 upstream. A KASAN tag mismatch, possibly causing a kernel panic, can be observed on systems with a tag-based KASAN enabled and with multiple NUMA nodes. It was reported on arm64 and reproduced on x86. It can be explained in the following points: 1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk. 2. Chunk's base address has a tag. 3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits the tag of the first chunk. 4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the first chunk. 5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to match that of the first chunk. Use the new vmalloc flag that disables random tag assignment in __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc() - pass the same random tag to all the vm_structs by tagging the pointers before they go inside __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc(). Assigning a common tag resolves the pcpu chunk address mismatch.

2026-01-08mm/kasan: fix incorrect unpoisoning in vrealloc for KASANJiayuan Chen3-3/+7
commit 007f5da43b3d0ecff972e2616062b8da1f862f5e upstream. Patch series "kasan: vmalloc: Fixes for the percpu allocator and vrealloc", v3. Patches fix two issues related to KASAN and vmalloc. The first one, a KASAN tag mismatch, possibly resulting in a kernel panic, can be observed on systems with a tag-based KASAN enabled and with multiple NUMA nodes. Initially it was only noticed on x86 [1] but later a similar issue was also reported on arm64 [2]. Specifically the problem is related to how vm_structs interact with pcpu_chunks - both when they are allocated, assigned and when pcpu_chunk addresses are derived. When vm_structs are allocated they are unpoisoned, each with a different random tag, if vmalloc support is enabled along the KASAN mode. Later when first pcpu chunk is allocated it gets its 'base_addr' field set to the first allocated vm_struct. With that it inherits that vm_struct's tag. When pcpu_chunk addresses are later derived (by pcpu_chunk_addr(), for example in pcpu_alloc_noprof()) the base_addr field is used and offsets are added to it. If the initial conditions are satisfied then some of the offsets will point into memory allocated with a different vm_struct. So while the lower bits will get accurately derived the tag bits in the top of the pointer won't match the shadow memory contents. The solution (proposed at v2 of the x86 KASAN series [3]) is to unpoison the vm_structs with the same tag when allocating them for the per cpu allocator (in pcpu_get_vm_areas()). The second one reported by syzkaller [4] is related to vrealloc and happens because of random tag generation when unpoisoning memory without allocating new pages. This breaks shadow memory tracking and needs to reuse the existing tag instead of generating a new one. At the same time an inconsistency in used flags is corrected. This patch (of 3): Syzkaller reported a memory out-of-bounds bug [4]. This patch fixes two issues: 1. In vrealloc the KASAN_VMALLOC_VM_ALLOC flag is missing when unpoisoning the extended region. This flag is required to correctly associate the allocation with KASAN's vmalloc tracking. Note: In contrast, vzalloc (via __vmalloc_node_range_noprof) explicitly sets KASAN_VMALLOC_VM_ALLOC and calls kasan_unpoison_vmalloc() with it. vrealloc must behave consistently -- especially when reusing existing vmalloc regions -- to ensure KASAN can track allocations correctly. 2. When vrealloc reuses an existing vmalloc region (without allocating new pages) KASAN generates a new tag, which breaks tag-based memory access tracking. Introduce KASAN_VMALLOC_KEEP_TAG, a new KASAN flag that allows reusing the tag already attached to the pointer, ensuring consistent tag behavior during reallocation. Pass KASAN_VMALLOC_KEEP_TAG and KASAN_VMALLOC_VM_ALLOC to the kasan_unpoison_vmalloc inside vrealloc_node_align_noprof().
