2025-09-15slab: move validate_slab_ptr() from alloc_consistency_checks() to its callerVlastimil Babka
In alloc_debug_processing() we can call validate_slab_ptr() upfront and then don't need to recheck when alloc_consistency_checks() fails for other reasons. Reviewed-by: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
2025-09-15slab: move validate_slab_ptr() from check_slab() to its callersVlastimil Babka
We will want to do the validation earlier in some callers or remove it completely, so extract it from check_slab() first. No functional change. Reviewed-by: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
2025-09-15slab: wrap debug slab validation in validate_slab_ptr()Vlastimil Babka
This will make it clear where we currently cast struct slab to folio only to check the slab type, and allow to change the implementation later with memdesc conversion. For now use a struct page based implementation instead of struct folio to be compatible with further upcoming changes.

2025-09-15fs: rename generic_delete_inode() and generic_drop_inode()Mateusz Guzik
generic_delete_inode() is rather misleading for what the routine is doing. inode_just_drop() should be much clearer. The new naming is inconsistent with generic_drop_inode(), so rename that one as well with inode_ as the suffix. No functional changes.

2025-09-14mm/mm_init: drop deferred_init_maxorder()Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
deferred_init_memmap_chunk() calls deferred_init_maxorder() to initialize struct pages in MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES because according to commit 0e56acae4b4d ("mm: initialize MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES at a time instead of doing larger sections") this provides better cache locality than initializing the memory map in larger sections. The looping through free memory ranges is quite cumbersome in the current implementation as it is divided between deferred_init_memmap_chunk() and deferred_init_maxorder(). Besides, the latter has two loops, one that initializes struct pages and another one that frees them. There is no need in two loops because it is safe to free pages in groups smaller than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Even if lookup for a buddy page will access a struct page ahead of the pages being initialized, that page is guaranteed to be initialized either by memmap_init_reserved_pages() or by init_unavailable_range(). Simplify the code by moving initialization and freeing of the pages into deferred_init_memmap_chunk() and dropping deferred_init_maxorder().

2025-09-14mm/mm_init: deferred_init_memmap: use a job per zoneMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
deferred_init_memmap() loops over free memory ranges and creates a padata_mt_job for every free range that intersects with the zone being initialized. padata_do_multithreaded() then splits every such range to several chunks and runs a thread that initializes struct pages in that chunk using deferred_init_memmap_chunk(). The number of threads is limited by amount of the CPUs on the node (or 1 for memoryless nodes). Looping through free memory ranges is then repeated in deferred_init_memmap_chunk() first to find the first range that should be initialized and then to traverse the ranges until the end of the chunk is reached. Remove the loop over free memory regions in deferred_init_memmap() and pass the entire zone to padata_do_multithreaded() so that it will be divided to several chunks by the parallelization code.

2025-09-14mm/mm_init: use deferred_init_memmap_chunk() in deferred_grow_zone()Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
deferred_grow_zone() initializes one or more sections in the memory map if buddy runs out of initialized struct pages when CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled. It loops through memblock regions and initializes and frees pages in MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES chunks. Essentially the same loop is implemented in deferred_init_memmap_chunk(), the only actual difference is that deferred_init_memmap_chunk() does not count initialized pages. Make deferred_init_memmap_chunk() count the initialized pages and return their number, wrap it with deferred_init_memmap_job() for multithreaded initialization with padata_do_multithreaded() and replace open-coded initialization of struct pages in deferred_grow_zone() with a call to deferred_init_memmap_chunk().

2025-09-13mm/damon/core: add damon_ctx->addr_unitSeongJae Park
Patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE", v3. Previously, DAMON's physical address space monitoring only supported memory ranges below 4GB on LPAE-enabled systems. This was due to the use of 'unsigned long' in 'struct damon_addr_range', which is 32-bit on ARM32 even with LPAE enabled[1]. To add DAMON support for ARM32 with LPAE enabled, a new core layer parameter called 'addr_unit' was introduced[2]. Operations set layer can translate a core layer address to the real address by multiplying the parameter value to the core layer address. Support of the parameter is up to each operations layer implementation, though. For example, operations set implementations for virtual address space can simply ignore the parameter. Add the support on paddr, which is the DAMON operations set implementation for the physical address space, as we have a clear use case for that. This patch (of 11): In some cases, some of the real address that handled by the underlying operations set cannot be handled by DAMON since it uses only 'unsinged long' as the address type. Using DAMON for physical address space monitoring of 32 bit ARM devices with large physical address extension (LPAE) is one example[1]. Add a parameter name 'addr_unit' to core layer to help such cases. DAMON core API callers can set it as the scale factor that will be used by the operations set for translating the core layer's addresses to the real address by multiplying the parameter value to the core layer address. Support of the parameter is up to each operations set layer. The support from the physical address space operations set (paddr) will be added with following commits.

2025-09-13mm: add vmstat for kernel_file pagesBoris Burkov
Kernel file pages are tricky to track because they are indistinguishable from files whose usage is accounted to the root cgroup. To maintain good accounting, introduce a vmstat counter tracking kernel file pages. Confirmed that these work as expected at a high level by mounting a btrfs using AS_KERNEL_FILE for metadata pages, and seeing the counter rise with fs usage then go back to a minimal level after drop_caches and finally down to 0 after unmounting the fs.

2025-09-13mm/filemap: add AS_KERNEL_FILEBoris Burkov
Patch series "introduce kernel file mapped folios", v4. Btrfs currently tracks its metadata pages in the page cache, using a fake inode (fs_info->btree_inode) with offsets corresponding to where the metadata is stored in the filesystem's full logical address space. A consequence of this is that when btrfs uses filemap_add_folio(), this usage is charged to the cgroup of whichever task happens to be running at the time. These folios don't belong to any particular user cgroup, so I don't think it makes much sense for them to be charged in that way. Some negative consequences as a result: - A task can be holding some important btrfs locks, then need to lookup some metadata and go into reclaim, extending the duration it holds that lock for, and unfairly pushing its own reclaim pain onto other cgroups. - If that cgroup goes into reclaim, it might reclaim these folios a different non-reclaiming cgroup might need soon. This is naturally offset by LRU reclaim, but still. We have two options for how to manage such file pages: 1. charge them to the root cgroup. 2. don't charge them to any cgroup at all. 2. breaks the invariant that every mapped page has a cgroup. This is workable, but unnecessarily risky. Therefore, go with 1. A very similar proposal to use the root cgroup was previously made by Qu, where he eventually proposed the idea of setting it per address_space. This makes good sense for the btrfs use case, as the behavior should apply to all use of the address_space, not select allocations. I.e., if someone adds another filemap_add_folio() call using btrfs's btree_inode, we would almost certainly want to account that to the root cgroup as well. This patch (of 3): Add the flag AS_KERNEL_FILE to the address_space to indicate that this mapping's memory is exempt from the usual memcg accounting.

2025-09-13selftests/mm/uffd-stress: make test operate on less hugetlb memoryDev Jain
Patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes", v2. This patchset ensures that the number of hugepages is correctly set in the system so that the uffd-stress test does not fail due to the racy nature of the test. Patch 1 changes the hugepage constraint in the run_vmtests.sh script, whereas patch 2 changes the constraint in the test itself. This patch (of 2): We observed uffd-stress selftest failure on arm64 and intermittent failures on x86 too: running ./uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32 bounces: 17, mode: rnd read, ERROR: UFFDIO_COPY error: -12 (errno=12, @uffd-common.c:617) [FAIL] not ok 18 uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32 # exit=1 For this particular case, the number of free hugepages from run_vmtests.sh will be 128, and the test will allocate 64 hugepages in the source location. The stress() function will start spawning threads which will operate on the destination location, triggering uffd-operations like UFFDIO_COPY from src to dst, which means that we will require 64 more hugepages for the dst location. Let us observe the locking_thread() function. It will lock the mutex kept at dst, triggering uffd-copy. Suppose that 127 (64 for src and 63 for dst) hugepages have been reserved. In case of BOUNCE_RANDOM, it may happen that two threads trying to lock the mutex at dst, try to do so at the same hugepage number. If one thread succeeds in reserving the last hugepage, then the other thread may fail in alloc_hugetlb_folio(), returning -ENOMEM. I can confirm that this is indeed the case by this hacky patch: :--- a/mm/hugetlb.c ; +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c ; @@ -6929,6 +6929,11 @@ int hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte(pte_t *dst_pte, ; ; folio = alloc_hugetlb_folio(dst_vma, dst_addr, false); ; if (IS_ERR(folio)) { ; + pte_t *actual_pte = hugetlb_walk(dst_vma, dst_addr, PMD_SIZE); ; + if (actual_pte) { ; + ret = -EEXIST; ; + goto out; ; + } ; ret = -ENOMEM; ; goto out; ; } This code path gets triggered indicating that the PMD at which one thread is trying to map a hugepage, gets filled by a racing thread. Therefore, instead of using freepgs to compute the amount of memory, use freepgs - (min(32, nr_cpus) - 1), so that the test still has some extra hugepages to use. The adjustment is a function of min(32, nr_cpus) - the value of nr_parallel in the test - because in the worst case, nr_parallel number of threads will try to map a hugepage on the same PMD, one will win the allocation race, and the other nr_parallel - 1 threads will fail, so we need extra nr_parallel - 1 hugepages to satisfy this request. Note that, in case the adjusted value underflows, there is a check for the number of free hugepages in the test itself, which will fail: get_free_hugepages() < bytes / page_size A negative value will be passed on to bytes which is of type size_t, thus the RHS will become a large value and the check will fail, so we are safe.

Reduce the compression buffer size from 2 * PAGE_SIZE to only one page, as the compression output (in the success case) should not exceed the length of the input. In the past, Chengming tried to reduce the compression buffer size, but ran into issues with the LZO algorithm (see [2]). Herbert Xu reported that the issue has been fixed (see [3]). Now we should have the guarantee that compressors' output should not exceed one page in the success case, and the algorithm will just report failure otherwise. With this patch, we save one page per cpu (per compression algorithm).

2025-09-13mm, x86/mm: move creating the tlb_flush event back to x86 codeSteven Rostedt
Commit e73ad5ff2f76 ("mm, x86/mm: Make the batched unmap TLB flush API more generic") moved the trace_tlb_flush out of mm/rmap.c and back into x86 specific architecture, but it kept the include to the events/tlb.h file, even though it didn't use that event. Then another commit came in and added more events to the mm/rmap.c file and moved the #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS define from the x86 specific architecture to the generic mm/rmap.h file to create both the tlb_flush tracepoint and the new tracepoints. But since the tlb_flush tracepoint is only x86 specific, it now creates that tracepoint for all other architectures and this wastes approximately 5K of text and meta data that will not be used. Remove the events/tlb.h from mm/rmap.c and add the define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS back in the x86 code.

Now tmpfs enables i_version by default and tmpfs does not modify it. But SB_I_VERSION can also be modified via sb_flags, and reconfigure_super() always overwrites the existing flags with the latest ones. This means that if tmpfs is remounted without specifying iversion, the default i_version will be unexpectedly disabled.

2025-09-13mm/filemap: skip non-uptodate folio if there are available foliosChi Zhiling
When reading data exceeding the maximum IO size, the operation is split into multiple IO requests, but the data isn't immediately copied to userspace after each IO completion. For example, when reading 2560k data from a device with 1280k maximum IO size, the following sequence occurs: 1. read 1280k 2. copy 41 pages and issue read ahead for next 1280k 3. copy 31 pages to user buffer 4. wait the next 1280k 5. copy 8 pages to user buffer 6. copy 20 folios(64k) to user buffer The 8 pages in step 5 are copied after the second 1280k completes(step 4) due to waiting for a non-uptodate folio in filemap_update_page. We can copy the 8 pages before the second 1280k completes(step 4) to reduce the latency of this read operation. After applying the patch, these 8 pages will be copied before the next IO completes: 1. read 1280k 2. copy 41 pages and issue read ahead for next 1280k 3. copy 31 pages to user buffer 4. copy 8 pages to user buffer 5. wait the next 1280k 6. copy 20 folios(64k) to user buffer This patch drops a setting of IOCB_NOWAIT for AIO, which is fine because filemap_read will set it again for AIO.

2025-09-13mm/filemap: do not use is_partially_uptodate for entire folioChi Zhiling
Patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations". This series contains two patches, 1. Skip calling is_partially_uptodate for entire folio to save time, I have reviewed the mpage and iomap implementations and didn't spot any issues, but this change likely needs more thorough review. 2. Skip calling filemap_uptodate if there are ready folios in the batch, This might save a few milliseconds in practice, but I didn't observe measurable improvements in my tests. This patch (of 2): When a folio is marked as non-uptodate, it means the folio contains some non-uptodate data. Therefore, calling is_partially_uptodate() to recheck the entire folio is redundant. If all data in a folio is actually up-to-date but the folio lacks the uptodate flag, it will still be treated as non-uptodate in many other places. Thus, there should be no special case handling for filemap.

2025-09-13mm: introduce memdesc_flags_tMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t". At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags' word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID, section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone. There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing these things from the debug output? This patch (of 11): Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to functions which take this as an argument.

2025-09-13mm/damon/Kconfig: make DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT depend on DAMON_STATEnze Li
The DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT option is strongly tied to DAMON_STAT option -- enabling it alone is meaningless. This patch makes DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT depend on DAMON_STAT, ensuring functional consistency.
