2025-11-20mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: remove dynamic allocs on damos_test_commit_filter()SeongJae Park
Patch series "mm/damon/tests: add more tests for online parameters commit". A DAMON feature called parameters "commit" allows DAMON API callers and ABI users to update nearly every DAMON parameter while DAMON is running. This is being used for flexible DAMON use cases such as taking a snapshot of the monitoring results with minimum overhead, or adjusting access-aware system operations (DAMOS) for user-space driven auto-tuning or investigations. Compared to the usefulness of the feature and size of the implementation, the test coverage is pretty small. Only the filter commit part has a single test case, namely damos_test_commit_filter(). Actually, we found and fixed a few bugs of the feature in the past. The single existing test was also added to avoid reintroduction of a found bug. Add more unit tests for the feature. First four patches (1-4) refactor and extend the existing test for DAMOS filter commit for multiple test cases. Next three patches (5-7) add tests for DAMOS quota commit. Next two patches (8 and 9) refactor damos_commit_dests() for ease of code reading and test writing, and implement a new unit test of the function that is being refactored in a test-friendly way. Final two patches (10 and 11) further add new unit tests for damos_commit() and damon_commit_target_regions(). This patch (of 11): damos_test_commit_filter() is dynamically allocating test-purpose DAMOS filters. Allocation failure checks are making the code longer, complicated, and difficult to extend for more test cases. Refactor the code to remove the dynamic allocation.

2025-11-20mm: add vma_start_write_killable()Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Patch series "vma_start_write_killable"", v2. When we added the VMA lock, we made a major oversight in not adding a killable variant. That can run us into trouble where a thread takes the VMA lock for read (eg handling a page fault) and then goes out to lunch for an hour (eg doing reclaim). Another thread tries to modify the VMA, taking the mmap_lock for write, then attempts to lock the VMA for write. That blocks on the first thread, and ensures that every other page fault now tries to take the mmap_lock for read. Because everything's in an uninterruptible sleep, we can't kill the task, which makes me angry. This patchset just adds vma_start_write_killable() and converts one caller to use it. Most users are somewhat tricky to convert, so expect follow-up individual patches per call-site which need careful analysis to make sure we've done proper cleanup. This patch (of 2): The vma can be held read-locked for a substantial period of time, eg if memory allocation needs to go into reclaim. It's useful to be able to send fatal signals to threads which are waiting for the write lock.

2025-11-20mm/madvise: allow guard page install/remove under VMA lockLorenzo Stoakes
We only need to keep the page table stable so we can perform this operation under the VMA lock. PTE installation is stabilised via the PTE lock. One caveat is that, if we prepare vma->anon_vma we must hold the mmap read lock. We can account for this by adapting the VMA locking logic to explicitly check for this case and prevent a VMA lock from being acquired should it be the case. This check is safe, as while we might be raced on anon_vma installation, this would simply make the check conservative, there's no way for us to see an anon_vma and then for it to be cleared, as doing so requires the mmap/VMA write lock. We abstract the VMA lock validity logic to is_vma_lock_sufficient() for this purpose, and add prepares_anon_vma() to abstract the anon_vma logic. In order to do this we need to have a way of installing page tables explicitly for an identified VMA, so we export walk_page_range_vma() in an unsafe variant - walk_page_range_vma_unsafe() and use this should the VMA read lock be taken. We additionally update the comments in madvise_guard_install() to more accurately reflect the cases in which the logic may be reattempted, specifically THP huge pages being present.

2025-11-20mm: rename walk_page_range_mm()Lorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "mm: perform guard region install/remove under VMA lock", v2. There is no reason why can't perform guard region operations under the VMA lock, as long we take proper precautions to ensure that we do so in a safe manner. This is fine, as VMA lock acquisition is always best-effort, so if we are unable to do so, we can simply fall back to using the mmap read lock. Doing so will reduce mmap lock contention for callers performing guard region operations and help establish a precedent of trying to use the VMA lock where possible. As part of this change we perform a trivial rename of page walk functions which bypass safety checks (i.e. whether or not mm_walk_ops->install_pte is specified) in order that we can keep naming consistent with the mm walk. This is because we need to expose a VMA-specific walk that still allows us to install PTE entries. This patch (of 2): Make it clear we're referencing an unsafe variant of this function explicitly. This is laying the foundation for exposing more such functions and maintaining a consistent naming scheme. As a part of this change, rename check_ops_valid() to check_ops_safe() for consistency.

2025-11-20mm: set the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag on guard region installLorenzo Stoakes
Now we have established the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag and added the capacity to set it atomically, do so upon MADV_GUARD_INSTALL. The places where this flag is used currently and matter are: * VMA merge - performed under mmap/VMA write lock, therefore excluding racing writes. * /proc/$pid/smaps - can race the write, however this isn't meaningful as the flag write is performed at the point of the guard region being established, and thus an smaps reader can't reasonably expect to avoid races. Due to atomicity, a reader will observe either the flag being set or not. Therefore consistency will be maintained. In all other cases the flag being set is irrelevant and atomicity guarantees other flags will be read correctly. Note that non-atomic updates of unrelated flags do not cause an issue with this flag being set atomically, as writes of other flags are performed under mmap/VMA write lock, and these atomic writes are performed under mmap/VMA read lock, which excludes the write, avoiding RMW races. Note that we do not encounter issues with KCSAN by adjusting this flag atomically, as we are only updating a single bit in the flag bitmap and therefore we do not need to annotate these changes. We intentionally set this flag in advance of actually updating the page tables, to ensure that any racing atomic read of this flag will only return false prior to page tables being updated, to allow for serialisation via page table locks. Note that we set vma->anon_vma for anonymous mappings. This is because the expectation for anonymous mappings is that an anon_vma is established should they possess any page table mappings. This is also consistent with what we were doing prior to this patch (unconditionally setting anon_vma on guard region installation). We also need to update retract_page_tables() to ensure that madvise(..., MADV_COLLAPSE) doesn't incorrectly collapse file-backed ranges contain guard regions. This was previously guarded by anon_vma being set to catch MAP_PRIVATE cases, but the introduction of VM_MAYBE_GUARD necessitates that we check this flag instead. We utilise vma_flag_test_atomic() to do so - we first perform an optimistic check, then after the PTE page table lock is held, we can check again safely, as upon guard marker install the flag is set atomically prior to the page table lock being taken to actually apply it. So if the initial check fails either: * Page table retraction acquires page table lock prior to VM_MAYBE_GUARD being set - guard marker installation will be blocked until page table retraction is complete. OR: * Guard marker installation acquires page table lock after setting VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which raced and didn't pick this up in the initial optimistic check, blocking page table retraction until the guard regions are installed - the second VM_MAYBE_GUARD check will prevent page table retraction. Either way we're safe. We refactor the retraction checks into a single file_backed_vma_is_retractable(), there doesn't seem to be any reason that the checks were separated as before. Note that VM_MAYBE_GUARD being set atomically remains correct as vma_needs_copy() is invoked with the mmap and VMA write locks held, excluding any race with madvise_guard_install().

We also add VM_MAYBE_GUARD to this list, as it being set on a VMA implies that there may be metadata contained in the page tables (that is - guard markers) which would will not and cannot be propagated upon fork. This was already being done manually previously in vma_needs_copy(), but this makes it very explicit, alongside VM_PFNMAP, VM_MIXEDMAP and VM_UFFD_WP all of which imply the same. Note that VM_STICKY flags ought generally to be marked VM_COPY_ON_FORK too - because equally a flag being VM_STICKY indicates that the VMA contains metadat that is not propagated by being faulted in - i.e. that the VMA metadata does not fully describe the VMA alone, and thus we must propagate whatever metadata there is on a fork. However, for maximum flexibility, we do not make this necessarily the case here.

2025-11-20mm: implement sticky VMA flagsLorenzo Stoakes
It is useful to be able to designate that certain flags are 'sticky', that is, if two VMAs are merged one with a flag of this nature and one without, the merged VMA sets this flag. As a result we ignore these flags for the purposes of determining VMA flag differences between VMAs being considered for merge. This patch therefore updates the VMA merge logic to perform this action, with flags possessing this property being described in the VM_STICKY bitmap. Those flags which ought to be ignored for the purposes of VMA merge are described in the VM_IGNORE_MERGE bitmap, which the VMA merge logic is also updated to use. As part of this change we place VM_SOFTDIRTY in VM_IGNORE_MERGE as it already had this behaviour, alongside VM_STICKY as sticky flags by implication must not disallow merge. Ultimately it seems that we should make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky flag in its own right, but this change is out of scope for this series. The only sticky flag designated as such is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, so as a result of this change, once the VMA flag is set upon guard region installation, VMAs with guard ranges will now not have their merge behaviour impacted as a result and can be freely merged with other VMAs without VM_MAYBE_GUARD set. Also update the comments for vma_modify_flags() to directly reference sticky flags now we have established the concept. We also update the VMA userland tests to account for the changes.

2025-11-20mm: update vma_modify_flags() to handle residual flags, documentLorenzo Stoakes
The vma_modify_*() family of functions each either perform splits, a merge or no changes at all in preparation for the requested modification to occur. When doing so for a VMA flags change, we currently don't account for any flags which may remain (for instance, VM_SOFTDIRTY) despite the requested change in the case that a merge succeeded. This is made more important by subsequent patches which will introduce the concept of sticky VMA flags which rely on this behaviour. This patch fixes this by passing the VMA flags parameter as a pointer and updating it accordingly on merge and updating callers to accommodate for this. Additionally, while we are here, we add kdocs for each of the vma_modify_*() functions, as the fact that the requested modification is not performed is confusing so it is useful to make this abundantly clear. We also update the VMA userland tests to account for this change.

2025-11-20mm: add atomic VMA flags and set VM_MAYBE_GUARD as suchLorenzo Stoakes
This patch adds the ability to atomically set VMA flags with only the mmap read/VMA read lock held. As this could be hugely problematic for VMA flags in general given that all other accesses are non-atomic and serialised by the mmap/VMA locks, we implement this with a strict allow-list - that is, only designated flags are allowed to do this. We make VM_MAYBE_GUARD one of these flags.

2025-11-20mm: introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make visible in /proc/$pid/smapsLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky", v4. Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through /proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level. This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU. This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for these. The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set (we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present. It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason. To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags - that is flags which: a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be merged (if otherwise compatible). b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set. The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly. Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy() correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes. We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves this issue. Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held. The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure does not cause any races by being allowed to do so. This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here. Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented. This patch (of 9): Currently, if a user needs to determine if guard regions are present in a range, they have to scan all VMAs (or have knowledge of which ones might have guard regions). Since commit 8e2f2aeb8b48 ("fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap") and the related commit a516403787e0 ("fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions"), users can use either /proc/$pid/pagemap or the PAGEMAP_SCAN functionality to perform this operation at a virtual address level. This is not ideal, and it gives no visibility at a /proc/$pid/smaps level that guard regions exist in ranges. This patch remedies the situation by establishing a new VMA flag, VM_MAYBE_GUARD, to indicate that a VMA may contain guard regions (it is uncertain because we cannot reasonably determine whether a MADV_GUARD_REMOVE call has removed all of the guard regions in a VMA, and additionally VMAs may change across merge/split). We utilise 0x800 for this flag which makes it available to 32-bit architectures also, a flag that was previously used by VM_DENYWRITE, which was removed in commit 8d0920bde5eb ("mm: remove VM_DENYWRITE") and hasn't bee reused yet. We also update the smaps logic and documentation to identify these VMAs. Another major use of this functionality is that we can use it to identify that we ought to copy page tables on fork. We do not actually implement usage of this flag in mm/madvise.c yet as we need to allow some VMA flags to be applied atomically under mmap/VMA read lock in order to avoid the need to acquire a write lock for this purpose.

The following components are moved to mm/hugetlb_sysctl.c: - proc_hugetlb_doulongvec_minmax() - hugetlb_sysctl_handler_common() - hugetlb_sysctl_handler() - hugetlb_mempolicy_sysctl_handler() (CONFIG_NUMA) - hugetlb_overcommit_handler() - hugetlb_table[] sysctl table definition - hugetlb_sysctl_init() The hugetlb_internal.h header file is updated to declare the sysctl initialization function with proper #ifdef guards for configurations without CONFIG_SYSCTL support. The Makefile is updated to compile hugetlb_sysctl.o when CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is enabled. This refactoring reduces the size of hugetlb.c and logically separates the sysctl interface from core hugetlb management code. MAINTAINERS is updated to add new file hugetlb_sysctl.c. No functional changes are introduced; all code is moved as-is from hugetlb.c with consistent formatting.

2025-11-20mm: vmscan: remove folio_test_private() check in pageout()Baolin Wang
Patch series "some cleanups for pageout()", v2. Since we no longer attempt to write back filesystem folios in pageout(), and only tmpfs/shmem folios and anonymous swapcache folios can be written back, we can remove the redundant folio_test_private() related logic to simplify the logic of pageout(), as tmpfs/shmem and swapcache folios do not use the PG_private flag. This patch (of 2): The folio_test_private() check in pageout() was introduced by commit ce91b575332b ("orphaned pagecache memleak fix") in 2005 (checked from a history tree[1]). As the commit message mentioned, it was to address the issue where reiserfs pagecache may be truncated while still pinned. To further explain, the truncation removes the page->mapping, but the page is still listed in the VM queues because it still has buffers. In 2008, commit a2b345642f530 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal") seems to be dealing with a similar issue, where the page becomes dirty after truncation, and it provides a very useful call stack: truncate_complete_page() cancel_dirty_page() // PG_dirty cleared, decr. dirty pages do_invalidatepage() ext3_invalidatepage() journal_invalidatepage() journal_unmap_buffer() __dispose_buffer() __journal_unfile_buffer() __journal_temp_unlink_buffer() mark_buffer_dirty(); // PG_dirty set, incr. dirty pages In this commit a2b345642f530, we forcefully clear the page's dirty flag during truncation (in truncate_complete_page()). Now it seems this was just a peculiar usage specific to reiserfs. Maybe reiserfs had some extra refcount on these pages, which caused them to pass the is_page_cache_freeable() check. With the fix provided by commit a2b345642f530 and reiserfs being removed in 2024 by commit fb6f20ecb121 ("reiserfs: The last commit"), such a case is unlikely to occur again. So let's remove the redundant folio_test_private() checks and related buffer_head release logic, and just leave a warning here to catch such a bug.

2025-11-20selinux: rename task_security_struct to cred_security_structStephen Smalley
Before Linux had cred structures, the SELinux task_security_struct was per-task and although the structure was switched to being per-cred long ago, the name was never updated. This change renames it to cred_security_struct to avoid confusion and pave the way for the introduction of an actual per-task security structure for SELinux. No functional change.

2025-11-20PM: sleep: Call pm_sleep_fs_sync() instead of ksys_sync_helper()Samuel Wu
Replace the direct calls to ksys_sync_helper() with the new pm_sleep_fs_sync() in suspend and hibernation code paths. This enables the new mechanism allowing the filesystem sync phase to be interrupted.

2025-11-20PM: sleep: Add support for wakeup during filesystem syncSamuel Wu
Add helper function pm_sleep_fs_sync() and related data structures as a preparation for allowing system suspend and hibernation to be aborted by wakeup events while syncing file systems. The new function, to be called by the suspend process in order to sync file systems, uses a dedicated ordered workqueue to run ksys_sync_helper() in parallel with the calling process. Next, it waits for the completion of the filesystem sync and periodically checks if any system wakeup events are pending, in which case it will return an error. If that happens while the filesystem sync is still in progress, it will continue, possibly after pm_sleep_fs_sync() has returned, and if that function is called again before the sync is complete, a new work item to run ksys_sync_helper() again will be queued (and waited for) to increase the likelihood of writing all of the dirty pages in memory back to persistent storage.

2025-11-20lockd: don't allow locking on reexported NFSv2/3Jeff Layton
Since commit 9254c8ae9b81 ("nfsd: disallow file locking and delegations for NFSv4 reexport"), file locking when reexporting an NFS mount via NFSv4 is expressly prohibited by nfsd. Do the same in lockd: Add a new nlmsvc_file_cannot_lock() helper that will test whether file locking is allowed for a given file, and return nlm_lck_denied_nolocks if it isn't.

2025-11-20workqueue: Init rescuer's affinities as wq_unbound_cpumaskLai Jiangshan
The affinity to set to the rescuers should be consistent in all paths when a rescuer is in detached state. The affinity could be either wq_unbound_cpumask or unbound_effective_cpumask(wq). Related paths: rescuer's worker_detach_from_pool() update wq_unbound_cpumask update wq's cpumask init_rescuer() Both affinities are Ok as long as they are consistent in all paths. In the commit 449b31ad2937 ("workqueue: Init rescuer's affinities as the wq's effective cpumask") makes init_rescuer use unbound_effective_cpumask(wq) which is consistent with then apply_wqattrs_commit(). But using unbound_effective_cpumask(wq) requres much more code to maintain the consistency, and it doesn't make much sense since the affinity is only effective when the rescuer is not processing works. wq_unbound_cpumask is more favorable. So apply_wqattrs_commit() and the path of "updating wq's cpumask" had been changed to not update the rescuer's affinity, and both the paths of "updating wq_unbound_cpumask" and "rescuer's worker_detach_from_pool()" had been changed to use wq_unbound_cpumask. Now, make init_rescuer() use wq_unbound_cpumask for rescuer's affinity and make all the paths consistent.
