13 daysmm: fix CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP typo in mm.hLukas Bulwahn
Commit 2b6a3f061f11 ("mm: declare VMA flags by bit") significantly refactors the header file include/linux/mm.h. In that step, it introduces a typo in an ifdef, referring to a non-existing config option STACK_GROWS_UP, whereas the actual config option is called STACK_GROWSUP. Fix this typo in the mm header file.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management: The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks. The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies. The rewrite addresses this by: - Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality - Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are optimized for fast path processing. - Caching values so actual decisions can be made - Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant. - Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler. - Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually improved significantly. The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held time and therefore contention goes down significantly" * tag 'core-rseq-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (54 commits) sched/mmcid: Switch over to the new mechanism sched/mmcid: Implement deferred mode change irqwork: Move data struct to a types header sched/mmcid: Provide CID ownership mode fixup functions sched/mmcid: Provide new scheduler CID mechanism sched/mmcid: Introduce per task/CPU ownership infrastructure sched/mmcid: Serialize sched_mm_cid_fork()/exit() with a mutex sched/mmcid: Provide precomputed maximal value sched/mmcid: Move initialization out of line signal: Move MMCID exit out of sighand lock sched/mmcid: Convert mm CID mask to a bitmap cpumask: Cache num_possible_cpus() sched/mmcid: Use cpumask_weighted_or() cpumask: Introduce cpumask_weighted_or() sched/mmcid: Prevent pointless work in mm_update_cpus_allowed() sched/mmcid: Move scheduler code out of global header sched: Fixup whitespace damage sched/mmcid: Cacheline align MM CID storage sched/mmcid: Use proper data structures sched/mmcid: Revert the complex CID management ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf) Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate livepatch modules using a source .patch as input. This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch. Key improvements compared to kpatch-build: - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow graph analysis to help detect changed functions. - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar. - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code. - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft. - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction. - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time. - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump (Alexandre Chartre) - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre, which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation specials such as alternatives: 17ef: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x62f mov 0x34(%r9),%edx 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | <alternative.17f3> | X86_FEATURE_POPCNT 17f3: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x633 | call 0x17f8 <__sw_hweight64> | popcnt %rdi,%rax 17f8: sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x638 cmp %eax,%edx ... jump table alternatives: 1895: sched_use_asym_prio+0x5 test $0x8,%ch 1898: sched_use_asym_prio+0x8 je 0x18a9 <sched_use_asym_prio+0x19> 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | <jump_table.189a> | JUMP 189a: sched_use_asym_prio+0xa | jmp 0x18ae <sched_use_asym_prio+0x1e> | nop2 189c: sched_use_asym_prio+0xc mov $0x1,%eax 18a1: sched_use_asym_prio+0x11 and $0x80,%ecx ... exception table alternatives: native_read_msr: 5b80: native_read_msr+0x0 mov %edi,%ecx 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | <ex_table.5b82> | EXCEPTION 5b82: native_read_msr+0x2 | rdmsr | resume at 0x5b84 <native_read_msr+0x4> 5b84: native_read_msr+0x4 shl $0x20,%rdx .... x86 feature flag decoding (also see the X86_FEATURE_POPCNT example in sched_balance_find_dst_group() above): 2faaf: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x1f jne 0x2fba4 <start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x114> 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | <alternative.2fab5> | X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS | X86_BUG_NULL_SEG 2fab5: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x25 | jmp 0x2faba <.altinstr_aux+0x2f4> | jmp 0x4b0 <start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x3f> | nop5 2faba: start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x2a mov $0x2b,%eax ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner: "Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current folio. The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems: - btrfs - buffer - ext4 - f2fs - gfs2 - iomap - netfs - xfs - mm This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs, they were just mildly inefficient. This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on 64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures.

2025-11-29mm: introduce VMA flags bitmap typeLorenzo Stoakes
It is useful to transition to using a bitmap for VMA flags so we can avoid running out of flags, especially for 32-bit kernels which are constrained to 32 flags, necessitating some features to be limited to 64-bit kernels only. By doing so, we remove any constraint on the number of VMA flags moving forwards no matter the platform and can decide in future to extend beyond 64 if required. We start by declaring an opaque types, vma_flags_t (which resembles mm_struct flags of type mm_flags_t), setting it to precisely the same size as vm_flags_t, and place it in union with vm_flags in the VMA declaration. We additionally update struct vm_area_desc equivalently placing the new opaque type in union with vm_flags. This change therefore does not impact the size of struct vm_area_struct or struct vm_area_desc. In order for the change to be iterative and to avoid impacting performance, we designate VM_xxx declared bitmap flag values as those which must exist in the first system word of the VMA flags bitmap. We therefore declare vma_flags_clear_all(), vma_flags_overwrite_word(), vma_flags_overwrite_word(), vma_flags_overwrite_word_once(), vma_flags_set_word() and vma_flags_clear_word() in order to allow us to update the existing vm_flags_*() functions to utilise these helpers. This is a stepping stone towards converting users to the VMA flags bitmap and behaves precisely as before. By doing this, we can eliminate the existing private vma->__vm_flags field in the vma->vm_flags union and replace it with the newly introduced opaque type vma_flags, which we call flags so we refer to the new bitmap field as vma->flags. We update vma_flag_[test, set]_atomic() to account for the change also. We adapt vm_flags_reset_once() to only clear those bits above the first system word providing write-once semantics to the first system word (which it is presumed the caller requires - and in all current use cases this is so). As we currently only specify that the VMA flags bitmap size is equal to BITS_PER_LONG number of bits, this is a noop, but is defensive in preparation for a future change that increases this. We additionally update the VMA userland test declarations to implement the same changes there. Finally, we update the rust code to reference vma->vm_flags on update rather than vma->__vm_flags which has been removed. This is safe for now, albeit it is implicitly performing a const cast. Once we introduce flag helpers we can improve this more. No functional change intended.

2025-11-29mm: declare VMA flags by bitLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "initial work on making VMA flags a bitmap", v3. We are in the rather silly situation that we are running out of VMA flags as they are currently limited to a system word in size. This leads to absurd situations where we limit features to 64-bit architectures only because we simply do not have the ability to add a flag for 32-bit ones. This is very constraining and leads to hacks or, in the worst case, simply an inability to implement features we want for entirely arbitrary reasons. This also of course gives us something of a Y2K type situation in mm where we might eventually exhaust all of the VMA flags even on 64-bit systems. This series lays the groundwork for getting away from this limitation by establishing VMA flags as a bitmap whose size we can increase in future beyond 64 bits if required. This is necessarily a highly iterative process given the extensive use of VMA flags throughout the kernel, so we start by performing basic steps. Firstly, we declare VMA flags by bit number rather than by value, retaining the VM_xxx fields but in terms of these newly introduced VMA_xxx_BIT fields. While we are here, we use sparse annotations to ensure that, when dealing with VMA bit number parameters, we cannot be passed values which are not declared as such - providing some useful type safety. We then introduce an opaque VMA flag type, much like the opaque mm_struct flag type introduced in commit bb6525f2f8c4 ("mm: add bitmap mm->flags field"), which we establish in union with vma->vm_flags (but still set at system word size meaning there is no functional or data type size change). We update the vm_flags_xxx() helpers to use this new bitmap, introducing sensible helpers to do so. This series lays the foundation for further work to expand the use of bitmap VMA flags and eventually eliminate these arbitrary restrictions. This patch (of 4): In order to lay the groundwork for VMA flags being a bitmap rather than a system word in size, we need to be able to consistently refer to VMA flags by bit number rather than value. Take this opportunity to do so in an enum which we which is additionally useful for tooling to extract metadata from. This additionally makes it very clear which bits are being used for what at a glance. We use the VMA_ prefix for the bit values as it is logical to do so since these reference VMAs. We consistently suffix with _BIT to make it clear what the values refer to. We declare bit values even when the flags that use them would not be enabled by config options as this is simply clearer and clearly defines what bit numbers are used for what, at no additional cost. We declare a sparse-bitwise type vma_flag_t which ensures that users can't pass around invalid VMA flags by accident and prepares for future work towards VMA flags being a bitmap where we want to ensure bit values are type safe. To make life easier, we declare some macro helpers - DECLARE_VMA_BIT() allows us to avoid duplication in the enum bit number declarations (and maintaining the sparse __bitwise attribute), and INIT_VM_FLAG() is used to assist with declaration of flags. Unfortunately we can't declare both in the enum, as we run into issue with logic in the kernel requiring that flags are preprocessor definitions, and additionally we cannot have a macro which declares another macro so we must define each flag macro directly. Additionally, update the VMA userland testing vma_internal.h header to include these changes. We also have to fix the parameters to the vma_flag_*_atomic() functions since VMA_MAYBE_GUARD_BIT is now of type vma_flag_t and sparse will complain otherwise. We have to update some rather silly if-deffery found in mm/task_mmu.c which would otherwise break. Finally, we update the rust binding helper as now it cannot auto-detect the flags at all.

2025-11-25fs: Add uoff_tMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
In a recent commit, I inadvertently changed a comparison from being an unsigned comparison (on 64-bit systems) to being a signed comparison (which it had always been on 32-bit systems). This led to a sporadic fstests failure. To make sure this comparison is always unsigned, introduce a new type, uoff_t which is the unsigned version of loff_t. Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in these two places it is convenient to pass -1 to indicate "up to the end of the file".

2025-11-24mm: softdirty: add pgtable_supports_soft_dirty()Chunyan Zhang
Patch series "mm: Add soft-dirty and uffd-wp support for RISC-V", v15. This patchset adds support for Svrsw60t59b [1] extension which is ratified now, also add soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking for RISC-V. The patches 1 and 2 add macros to allow architectures to define their own checks if the soft-dirty / uffd_wp PTE bits are available, in other words for RISC-V, the Svrsw60t59b extension is supported on which device the kernel is running. Also patch1-2 are removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of checks which if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected. This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty, madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass, and no regressions are observed in any of the other tests. This patch (of 6): Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource. Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is running. This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected. We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(), so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.

2025-11-20mm: propagate VM_SOFTDIRTY on mergeLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky VMA flag", v2. Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete() and do_brk_flags(). However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag. Now we have the concept of making VMA flags 'sticky', that is that they both don't prevent merge and, importantly, are propagated to merged VMAs, this seems a sensible alternative to the existing special-casing of VM_SOFTDIRTY. We additionally add a self-test that demonstrates that this logic behaves as expected. This patch (of 2): Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete() and do_brk_flags(). However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag. This is because currently we simply ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY for the purposes of merge, so one VMA may possess the flag and another not, and whichever happens to be the target VMA will be the one upon which the merge is performed which may or may not have VM_SOFTDIRTY set. Now we have the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags, let's make VM_SOFTDIRTY one which solves this issue. Additionally update VMA userland tests to propagate changes.

2025-11-20mm: introduce copy-on-fork VMAs and make VM_MAYBE_GUARD oneLorenzo Stoakes
Gather all the VMA flags whose presence implies that page tables must be copied on fork into a single bitmap - VM_COPY_ON_FORK - and use this rather than specifying individual flags in vma_needs_copy(). 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: 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.

2025-11-16mm: handle poisoning of pfn without struct pagesAnkit Agrawal
Poison (or ECC) errors can be very common on a large size cluster. The kernel MM currently does not handle ECC errors / poison on a memory region that is not backed by struct pages. If a memory region mapped using remap_pfn_range() for example, but not added to the kernel, MM will not have associated struct pages. Add a new mechanism to handle memory failure on such memory. Make kernel MM expose a function to allow modules managing the device memory to register the device memory SPA and the address space associated it. MM maintains this information as an interval tree. On poison, MM can search for the range that the poisoned PFN belong and use the address_space to determine the mapping VMA. In this implementation, kernel MM follows the following sequence that is largely similar to the memory_failure() handler for struct page backed memory: 1. memory_failure() is triggered on reception of a poison error. An absence of struct page is detected and consequently memory_failure_pfn() is executed. 2. memory_failure_pfn() collects the processes mapped to the PFN. 3. memory_failure_pfn() sends SIGBUS to all the processes mapping the faulty PFN using kill_procs(). Note that there is one primary difference versus the handling of the poison on struct pages, which is to skip unmapping to the faulty PFN. This is done to handle the huge PFNMAP support added recently [1] that enables VM_PFNMAP vmas to map at PMD or PUD level. A poison to a PFN mapped in such as way would need breaking the PMD/PUD mapping into PTEs that will get mirrored into the S2. This can greatly increase the cost of table walks and have a major performance impact.

This deferred freeing allows for batch-freeing of page tables, providing a safe context for performing a single expensive operation (TLB flush) for a batch of kernel page tables instead of performing that expensive operation for each page table.

Now that the API is in place, mark kernel page table pages just after they are allocated. Unmark them just before they are freed. Note: Unconditionally clearing the 'kernel' marking (via ptdesc_clear_kernel()) would be functionally identical to what is here. But having the if() makes it logically clear that this function can be used for kernel and non-kernel page tables.

2025-11-16mm: add a ptdesc flag to mark kernel page tablesDave Hansen
The page tables used to map the kernel and userspace often have very different handling rules. There are frequently *_kernel() variants of functions just for kernel page tables. That's not great and has lead to code duplication. Instead of having completely separate call paths, allow a 'ptdesc' to be marked as being for kernel mappings. Introduce helpers to set and clear this status. Note: this uses the PG_referenced bit. Page flags are a great fit for this since it is truly a single bit of information. Use PG_referenced itself because it's a fairly benign flag (as opposed to things like PG_lock). It's also (according to Willy) unlikely to go away any time soon. PG_referenced is not in PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE. It does not need to be cleared before freeing the page, and pages coming out of the allocator should have it cleared. Regardless, introduce an API to clear it anyway. Having symmetry in the API makes it easier to change the underlying implementation later, like if there was a need to move to a PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE bit.

2025-11-16mm: add ability to take further action in vm_area_descLorenzo Stoakes
Some drivers/filesystems need to perform additional tasks after the VMA is set up. This is typically in the form of pre-population. The forms of pre-population most likely to be performed are a PFN remap or the insertion of normal folios and PFNs into a mixed map. We start by implementing the PFN remap functionality, ensuring that we perform the appropriate actions at the appropriate time - that is setting flags at the point of .mmap_prepare, and performing the actual remap at the point at which the VMA is fully established. This prevents the driver from doing anything too crazy with a VMA at any stage, and we retain complete control over how the mm functionality is applied. Unfortunately callers still do often require some kind of custom action, so we add an optional success/error _hook to allow the caller to do something after the action has succeeded or failed. This is done at the point when the VMA has already been established, so the harm that can be done is limited. The error hook can be used to filter errors if necessary. There may be cases in which the caller absolutely must hold the file rmap lock until the operation is entirely complete. It is an edge case, but certainly the hugetlbfs mmap hook requires it. To accommodate this, we add the hide_from_rmap_until_complete flag to the mmap_action type. In this case, if a new VMA is allocated, we will hold the file rmap lock until the operation is entirely completed (including any success/error hooks). Note that we do not need to update __compat_vma_mmap() to accommodate this flag, as this function will be invoked from an .mmap handler whose VMA is not yet visible, so we implicitly hide it from the rmap. If any error arises on these final actions, we simply unmap the VMA altogether. Also update the stacked filesystem compatibility layer to utilise the action behaviour, and update the VMA tests accordingly. While we're here, rename __compat_vma_mmap_prepare() to __compat_vma_mmap() as we are now performing actions invoked by the mmap_prepare in addition to just the mmap_prepare hook.

2025-11-16mm: abstract io_remap_pfn_range() based on PFNLorenzo Stoakes
The only instances in which we customise this function are ones in which we customise the PFN used. Instances where architectures were not passing the pgprot value through pgprot_decrypted() are ones where pgprot_decrypted() was a no-op anyway, so we can simply always pass pgprot through this function. Use this fact to simplify the use of io_remap_pfn_range(), by abstracting the PFN via io_remap_pfn_range_pfn() and using this instead of providing a general io_remap_pfn_range() function per-architecture.

2025-11-16mm: add remap_pfn_range_prepare(), remap_pfn_range_complete()Lorenzo Stoakes
We need the ability to split PFN remap between updating the VMA and performing the actual remap, in order to do away with the legacy f_op->mmap hook. To do so, update the PFN remap code to provide shared logic, and also make remap_pfn_range_notrack() static, as its one user, io_mapping_map_user() was removed in commit 9a4f90e24661 ("mm: remove mm/io-mapping.c"). Then, introduce remap_pfn_range_prepare(), which accepts VMA descriptor and PFN parameters, and remap_pfn_range_complete() which accepts the same parameters as remap_pfn_rangte(). remap_pfn_range_prepare() will set the cow vma->vm_pgoff if necessary, so it must be supplied with a correct PFN to do so. While we're here, also clean up the duplicated #ifdef __HAVE_PFNMAP_TRACKING check and put into a single #ifdef/#else block. We keep these internal to mm as they should only be used by internal helpers.

2025-11-15mm: fix MAX_FOLIO_ORDER on powerpc configs with hugetlbDavid Hildenbrand (Red Hat)
In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios. In the meantime it evolved into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic hugetlb folios. In commit fae7d834c43c ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could have folios larger than what the buddy can handle. In the context of that commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when dumping tail pages of folios. Before that commit, we assumed that we cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was obviously wrong. In commit 7b4f21f5e038 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now. Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot (not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can exceed PUD_ORDER. To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16 GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit (powerpc). Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER, but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally: we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in __dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in the system. Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios. Let's defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first. While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD. Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer. In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE. Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs. I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through __HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED. While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem critical enough to mark it as a fix.

Specifically, a VMA which has a valid pointer to vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx, but no UFFD flags in vma->vm_flags. The inconsistency is caused in ksm_madvise(): when user calls madvise() with MADV_UNMEARGEABLE on a VMA that is registered for UFFD in MINOR mode, it accidentally clears all flags stored in the upper 32 bits of vma->vm_flags. Assuming x86_64 kernel build, unsigned long is 64-bit and unsigned int and int are 32-bit wide. This setup causes the following mishap during the &= ~VM_MERGEABLE assignment. VM_MERGEABLE is a 32-bit constant of type unsigned int, 0x8000'0000. After ~ is applied, it becomes 0x7fff'ffff unsigned int, which is then promoted to unsigned long before the & operation. This promotion fills upper 32 bits with leading 0s, as we're doing unsigned conversion (and even for a signed conversion, this wouldn't help as the leading bit is 0). & operation thus ends up AND-ing vm_flags with 0x0000'0000'7fff'ffff instead of intended 0xffff'ffff'7fff'ffff and hence accidentally clears the upper 32-bits of its value. Fix it by changing `VM_MERGEABLE` constant to unsigned long, using the BIT() macro. Note: other VM_* flags are not affected: This only happens to the VM_MERGEABLE flag, as the other VM_* flags are all constants of type int and after ~ operation, they end up with leading 1 and are thus converted to unsigned long with leading 1s.

2025-10-06page_pool: Fix PP_MAGIC_MASK to avoid crashing on some 32-bit archesToke Høiland-Jørgensen
Helge reported that the introduction of PP_MAGIC_MASK let to crashes on boot on his 32-bit parisc machine. The cause of this is the mask is set too wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which crashes the machine. Just disabling the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool code itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing this, this patch changes the define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel pointers for page_pool-tagged pages. The fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field always being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the lowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as the upper bound of the PP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives. Because we cannot rely on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time constant, nor on it always being >0, we fall back to disabling the dma_index storage when there are not enough bits available. This leaves us in the situation we were in before the patch in the Fixes tag, but only on a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be the best we can do until the transition to page types in complete for page_pool pages. v2: - Make sure there's at least 8 bits available and that the PAGE_OFFSET bit calculation doesn't wrap Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aMNJMFa5fDalFmtn@p100/ Fixes: ee62ce7a1d90 ("page_pool: Track DMA-mapped pages and unmap them when destroying the pool") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.15+ Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mina Almasry <almasrymina@google.com> Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250930114331.675412-1-toke@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2025-10-06mm: introduce num_pages_contiguous()Li Zhe
Let's add a simple helper for determining the number of contiguous pages that represent contiguous PFNs. In an ideal world, this helper would be simpler or not even required. Unfortunately, on some configs we still have to maintain (SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP), the memmap is allocated per memory section, and we might run into weird corner cases of false positives when blindly testing for contiguous pages only. One example of such false positives would be a memory section-sized hole that does not have a memmap. The surrounding memory sections might get "struct pages" that are contiguous, but the PFNs are actually not. This helper will, for example, be useful for determining contiguous PFNs in a GUP result, to batch further operations across returned "struct page"s. VFIO will utilize this interface to accelerate the VFIO DMA map process. Implementation based on Linus' suggestions to avoid new usage of nth_page() where avoidable.

2025-09-21mm: make folio page count functions return unsignedAristeu Rozanski
As raised by Andrew [1], a folio/compound page never spans a negative number of pages. Consequently, let's use "unsigned long" instead of "long" consistently for folio_nr_pages(), folio_large_nr_pages() and compound_nr(). Using "unsigned long" as return value is fine, because even "(long)-folio_nr_pages()" will keep on working as expected. Using "unsigned int" instead would actually break these use cases. This patch takes the first step changing these to return unsigned long (and making drm_gem_get_pages() use the new types instead of replacing min()). In the future, we might want to make more callers of these functions to consistently use "unsigned long".

2025-09-21mm: constify shmem related test functions for improved const-correctnessMax Kellermann
Patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters", v6. This series is to improved const-correctness in the low-level memory-management subsystem, which provides a basis for further constification further up the call stack (e.g. filesystems). I started this work when I tried to constify the Ceph filesystem code, but found that to be impossible because many "mm" functions accept non-const pointers, even though they modify nothing. This patch (of 12): We select certain test functions which either invoke each other, functions that are already const-ified, or no further functions. It is therefore relatively trivial to const-ify them, which provides a basis for further const-ification further up the call stack.

2025-09-21mm/cma: refuse handing out non-contiguous page rangesDavid Hildenbrand
Let's disallow handing out PFN ranges with non-contiguous pages, so we can remove the nth-page usage in __cma_alloc(), and so any callers don't have to worry about that either when wanting to blindly iterate pages. This is really only a problem in configs with SPARSEMEM but without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, and only when we would cross memory sections in some cases. Will this cause harm? Probably not, because it's mostly 32bit that does not support SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. If this ever becomes a problem we could look into allocating the memmap for the memory sections spanned by a single CMA region in one go from memblock.

2025-09-21mm: simplify folio_page() and folio_page_idx()David Hildenbrand
Now that a single folio/compound page can no longer span memory sections in problematic kernel configurations, we can stop using nth_page() in folio_page() and folio_page_idx(). While at it, turn both macros into static inline functions and add kernel doc for folio_page_idx().

2025-09-21mm: limit folio/compound page sizes in problematic kernel configsDavid Hildenbrand
Let's limit the maximum folio size in problematic kernel config where the memmap is allocated per memory section (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP) to a single memory section. Currently, only a single architectures supports ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE but not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP: sh. Fortunately, the biggest hugetlb size sh supports is 64 MiB (HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_64MB) and the section size is at least 64 MiB (SECTION_SIZE_BITS == 26), so their use case is not degraded. As folios and memory sections are naturally aligned to their order-2 size in memory, consequently a single folio can no longer span multiple memory sections on these problematic kernel configs. nth_page() is no longer required when operating within a single compound page / folio.

alloc_contig_range_noprof() Let's reject them early, which in turn makes folio_alloc_gigantic() reject them properly. To avoid converting from order to nr_pages, let's just add MAX_FOLIO_ORDER and calculate MAX_FOLIO_NR_PAGES based on that. While at it, let's just make the order a "const unsigned order".
