- Add support for crash hotplug
- Improve user copy performance on cores with fast misaligned accesses

Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "mm: make VMA flag semantics explicit, eliminate VM_SPECIAL" (Lorenzo
Stoakes):
Replace VM_SPECIAL with helpers describing mapping ownership and
behavior. Enforce the mmap flag rules and convert affected drivers,
removing ambiguous tests shared by driver mappings and ordinary
memory.
- "support kselftest on nommu platform" (Hajime Tazaki):
Add opt-in mmap and mremap tests for NOMMU systems. Teach the runner
to avoid its fork-dependent timeout command and document the build
and runtime requirements.
- "mm/collapse: separate a collapse from its callers" (Kiryl
Shutsemau):
Separate huge-page collapse from caller policy. Replace khugepaged
identity checks with explicit permissions, and separate scanning from
collapse with the mmap_lock drop in one place.
- "mm: implement and use vma_has_anon_rmap(), silence KCSAN" (Lorenzo
Stoakes):
Provide a common helper for testing whether a VMA has anonymous
reverse mappings. Document the locking rules, annotate intentional
concurrent reads for KCSAN, and convert the core MM callers.
- "mm/sparse: remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT and further cleanups"
(David Hildenbrand):
Remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT in favor of the early-section flag.
Simplify sparse memory initialization, section metadata handling and
related PFN validity checks.
- "sh: remove NUMA and SPARSEMEM support" (Mike Rapoport):
Remove SuperH NUMA and SPARSEMEM support. The extra memory banks have
been unusable since the NO_BOOTMEM conversion, leaving only the code
and data overhead.
- "mm: Unify device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths" (Muchun
Song):
Unify the generic device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths and
shared tail-page handling. Remove the duplicate DAX machinery while
retaining the powerpc radix implementation.
- "kselftest: mm: fix some failure of split_huge_page_test" (Yeoreum
Yun):
Fix huge-page split tests racing with khugepaged recollapse. Use
pagemap and page flags instead of VMA-boundary assumptions which fail
when glibc has already enabled THP.
- "memcg: move memcgid refcount to objcg to unpin dying memcgs"
(Bingfang Guo):
Let dying memcgs be freed while swapped-out shmem still holds their
IDs. Move ID references to reparentable objcgs, with the necessary
swap accounting and RCU lifetime changes.
- "mm/truncate: fix data loss when truncating straddling large folios"
(Zhang Yi):
Preserve out-of-range data when truncating straddling large folios.
Fix a lookup race and split-failure handling, and handle minimum
folio orders for the forthcoming ext4 iomap buffered I/O path.
- "mm/damon: introduce damos quota goal target metric complement flag"
(SJ Park):
Let DAMOS quota goals use a metric's complement, so utilization can
also express free-memory goals without adding separate metrics. Add
the sysfs interface, documentation and tests.
- "arm64/mm: Standardize printing for pgtable entries" (Anshuman
Khandual):
Use the generic formatter for arm64 page-table entries, ready for
future wider entries. Move the safe-PTE-update check out of the
header to avoid an include cycle.
- "mm: kmsan: fix iounmap metadata teardown" (Dima Koziuk):
Fix KMSAN metadata leaks on iounmap and failed ioremap allocations.
Free backing pages before removing their mappings, and share the
teardown with partial-allocation cleanup.
- "mm/damon/core: preserve quota state when constructing schemes" (Karl
Mehltretter):
Preserve running DAMOS quota state while validating parameter
updates. Even rejected updates could reset accounting and exceed the
quota window; add tests for both accepted and rejected updates.
- "mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup" (Ye Liu):
Fix vmalloc_dump_obj() lookups for last-page addresses and
allocations spanning vmap zones. These allocations were being missed
in diagnostic output.
- "mm: various (urgent?) fixes" (David Hildenbrand):
Fix mmap charge leaks and hugetlb use-after-free, wrong-address
unmapping, stuck locks and endless faults. Also preserve reservations
on failed mremap and handle stale userfaultfd bits.
- "maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode" (Dimitris
Charisis):
Fix pointer and metadata confusion during RCU destruction of
maple_range_64 nodes, avoiding double frees and invalid accesses. Add
a regression test; no in-tree user currently uses this combination.
- "mm: fix hugetlb NR_HUGETLB accounting on folio migration" (Hongfu
Li):
Fix hugetlb migration and preallocation accounting so /proc/vmstat
retains the correct count and memory.numa_stat follows the folio to
its new node.
- "mm/damon: fix a minor bug, clean code, and add a test" (SJ Park):
Fix 32-bit DAMON age overflow which made old regions look young.
Share hugetlb folio acquisition code and add a regression test for
the previously fixed last-region skipping bug.
- "mm/damon/core: cleanup code, reduce stack usage, and add kunit" (SJ
Park):
Reduce kdamond stack usage and remove unused enums. Add deterministic
PSI quota-goal tests which do not depend on the machine's current
memory pressure.
- "mm/damon: fix the temporal goal tuner's size quota conversion"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Bound the temporal tuner's quota conversion to prevent overflow and
zero effective quotas, which could stop schemes making progress. Add
boundary tests.
- "Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_alloc_coherent" (Baoquan He):
Remove redundant GFP_DMA flags from coherent DMA allocation calls.
The DMA API already selects the zone from device limits and ignores
the caller's flag.
- "kselftest: mm: fix intermittent failure khugepaged test" (Yeoreum
Yun):
Propagate child-process failures in the khugepaged tests and prevent
background collapse from racing their checks. This removes false
passes and intermittent failures.
- "MAINTAINERS: cover all hugetlb headers under HUGETLB SUBSYSTEM"
(Enze Li):
Cover all hugetlb headers in MAINTAINERS so get_maintainer.pl finds
the right maintainers. Also label the closing hugetlb_cgroup.h
include guard.
Summary of the 65 singletons in this merge:
The singletons include a few worthwhile performance fixes. Avoiding
unnecessary reverse-map tree updates gave a reported 15.9% improvement
in UnixBench's execl test on a 192-core x86 system. A reclaim retry
fix stops defrag_mode from spinning under memory.low protection; a
reported file-creation stress test ran 5.7 times faster, with far less
memory pressure. Narrower hugetlb invalidations also spare KVM guests
needless refaults: the reported Redis-in-VM P99 QPS penalty while
punching holes fell from 7.09% to 1.45%.
Several fixes prevent lost data or corrupted memory. Lazyfree
huge-page races with mremap()/munmap() could lose data or access freed
memory, and MADV_COLD could lose a concurrent write's dirty bit.
Another fix prevents stale migration entries from outliving large
folios. On filesystems with blocks smaller than a page, extending a
file by 4 GiB or more could expose bytes written past the old EOF
through mmap instead of zeroes. That is fixed, along with
use-after-free races in PAGEMAP_SCAN during process exit and in
memory-cgroup accounting on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Other fixes stop UFFDIO_MOVE spinning forever on pinned large folios,
which could wedge other memory operations, and stop mremap() leaking
commit charges until allocations fail under strict overcommit. A
further fix keeps userfaultfd tracking intact on neighboring mappings.
NUMA binding no longer prevents long-term pins when the chosen node
has only movable memory, fixing QEMU/VFIO startup and io_uring buffer
registration failures. MGLRU also gets a fix for early-boot crashes
with memory cgroups disabled at boot, notably in small crash kernels.

RISC-V THP splitting uses a temporary invalid PMD state where
pmd_mkinvalid() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_PROT_NONE but leaves
_PAGE_LEAF set so the MM code can still recognize the PMD as a THP split
in-progress entry.
That temporary state no longer describes a user-accessible mapping, but
page_table_check currently treats it as one because the RISC-V PMD
user-accessibility test only checks whether the PMD is a leaf and has user
permissions.
As a result, when a PMD-sized anonymous THP is split during a COW fault,
page_table_check can account the invalid intermediate PMD as a live PMD
mapping, and then account the replacement PTE mappings again when the
split installs the PTE table. This leaves stale PMD accounting behind and
later triggers page_table_check failures such as a non-zero anon_map_count
when the folio is freed.
Fix this by tightening pmd_user_accessible_page() so PMD page-table-check
accounting only considers leaf PMDs that still carry either _PAGE_PRESENT
or _PAGE_PROT_NONE. This preserves the THP split semantics required by
the MM code while preventing page_table_check from treating invalid split
PMDs as live user mappings.
With CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y and CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y,
tools/testing/selftests/mm/cow completes successfully on RISC-V after this
change.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- pKVM state isolation: years after pKVM started being enabled
upstream, we finally get the basics in the form of state isolation.
The vcpu state is now off-limit for the host for protected VMs
- pKVM also grows a hypervisor-private memory allocator, allowing it
to deal with sub-page allocation, much like everywhere else
- pKVM also lands a trace_printk() equivalent, which hopefully will
make debugging a bit easier
- First shot at annotating portions of the KVM/arm64 code to be
extracted and built on s390. The real fun is yet to come
- Allow pre-faulting of stage-2 canonical mappings from userspace,
joining x86 and s390 in implementing this feature
- Add a reverse mapping infrastructure for shadow stage-2,
significantly improving performance when MMU notifiers kick in, and
avoiding full unmap of all shadow tables for this VM
- Next step of GICv5 enablement, adding support for the IRS block,
and providing both SPI and LPI support. This is the first point
where KVM/arm64 can support an SMP GICv5 guest
- As a preliminary to eventually enabling CCA, add a bunch of
infrastructure to KVM/arm64, splitting some of the basic operations
into individual backends (normal VM, normal pKVM VM, protected pKVM
VM). This allows CCA to later slot in without polluting the rest of
KVM with its firmware-driven nonsense
- Make ID registers immutable from the point where a vcpu is able to
run, even if it fails to run. This prevents KVM from sampling
untrusted values
- Restore some type checking to the EL2 object. KVM/arm64 originally
had some strong type checking between the kernel and the EL2
object, but lost it along the way when the private hypercall
interface was (somewhat pointlessly) converted to SMCCC. Type
checking is back, syscall style, and with added sparse goodies
- Expand the FFA support to FFA_NOTIFICATION_*, and add some
sanitisation of the protocol that pKVM relays to the "trusted"
runtime
- Make GICv3 RD assignment more robust to userspace nonsense
- Convert the remaining MMU fault handler backends to
kvm_s2_fault_vma_info and co., fixing a number of bugs in the
process
- Fix the SError/SEA selftests to be both more robust and less
braindead
- Fix a smattering of documentation bugs, some of them as a result of
our AI friends spitting out credible assertions based on
non-existing symbols
- The usual collection of low impact bug fixes (SMCCC, timers, PMU)
Loongarch:
- Add separate vmid support
- Simplify MSI interrupt injection
- Add crash hypercall support
- Allow to set pv_feature until vCPU run
- Enable HW page table walk automatically in selftests
s390:
- rework page allocation for secure guest variable storage
- Selftests and documentation improvements
- Replace get_zeroed_page with kzalloc
- Fix corner cases of floating interrupt injection
- Initial arm64 on s390 support
x86:
- Clean up the handling of vcpu->arch.xen.long_mode to be consistent
and correctly handle 32-bit/64-bit alignment, and various other bug
fixes have accumulated over the months since v1
- Grab KVM's SRCU "lock" in kvm_zap_gfn_range() to fix a recurring
bug where callers fail to do so
- Fix a variety of issues in the pre-fault code that are mostly
benign in the current code base, but will show up in big ways
if/when the pre-faulting logic is used to implementing
prefetch-on-fault for the TDP MMU
- For PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, drop the rmaps' individual bit-spinlock
and just walk the rmaps' with mmu_lock taken. On the write side
(which always uses mmu_lock), the bit-spinlock was assuming that
preemption was disabled, but that is *not* true when rwlocks become
sleepable
- Prepare a memory_fault exit (paired with -EFAULT) when KVM hits an
error PFN, e.g. so that userspace can resolve transient issues
instead of killing the guest. Convert a variety of WARN()+EFAULT
paths into KVM_BUG_ON()+EIO so that KVM can hard commit to filling
memory_fault on -EFAULTs that occur in the page fault path
- Fix a NX hugepage un-accounting bug where KVM would always uncharge
the shadow MMU, even when handling TDP MMU pages
- Mask off the address space ID when checking for illegal usage of
kvm_set_internal_memslot() to prevent false negatives on the sanity
check
- Explicitly zero reserved flags when delivering a SynIC message to
avoid leaking a byte of stack information to the guest
- Rework TDX's handling of the canonical MMU root level to not rely
on userspace to fill CPUID correctly, as doing so lets userspace
trivially trigger a KVM_BUG_ON()
- Reject KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE if userspace "restores" L1 with
EFER.LMA=1 && EFER.LME=0, which confuses KVM into trying to
configure an 64-bit MMU without PAE
- Ignore EFER.LMA (clear it from KVM's cached save state) if
EFER.LME=0 when preparing L2 state, to fix another way to confuse
KVM's MMU (and because real hardware also ignores EFER.LMA)
- Improve KVM's sanity checks for a misconfigured MMU to (hopefully)
detect all of the ways KVM can botch EFER.LMA vs. CR4.PAE
- Remove the "full" out-param from kvm_x86_ops.flush_tlb_gva() as the
param is only used to avoid what effectively amounts to a single
memory write
- Fix a mostly-benign bug where KVM can write through a guest's
read-only mapping due to not checking the error code when
expediting emulated MMIO page faults
- Honor the guest's view of the "EFER.LMSLE must be zero" defeature
so that userspace can provide migration compatibility between Rome
and Milan+
- Pend a KVM_REQ_EVENT request when an exception is morphed into a
nested VM-Exit, otherwise KVM can fail to actually deliver the
nested VM-Exit, e.g. when injecting a page fault
- Add support for PML on SVM
- Add support for virtualizing Bus Lock Detect on SVM, and fix a
number of DR6 bugs and warts along the way
- Fix a variety of warts in KVM's handling of guest TSC, kvmclock,
and timekeeping in general, as a (big) first step towards
addressing several longstanding problems with the kvmclock
implementation. Most notably, fix a precision issue where
get_kvmclock_ns() computed the clock from the *host* TSC without
applying guest TSC scaling, causing systemic drift from the values
the guest computes from its own TSC
- Rip out KVM's shadow timekeeping structures, now that ktime
snapshots are powerful enough to replace it
- Misc fixes and cleanups
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a benign-in-practice bug where KVM unintentionally sets a
non-zero error code when delivering exceptions to SEV-ES+ guests
- Force a new ASID in both VMCBs on pCPU migration to fix a bug where
KVM can run a VMCB with a stale ASID due to the tracking being
per-CPU, not per-VMCB
- Return INVALID_INPUT to the guest instead of exiting to userspace
with -EIO if KVM can't access "guest request" buffer, i.e. try to
keep the guest alive if the guest or userspace goofs
x86 (Intel):
- Enable Notify VM-Exits (now called Instruction Timeout in the SDM)
and Bus Lock VM-Exits for TDX guests when they're enabled by
userspace (KVM forgot to wire up the TDX Module knobs)
- Move all common (between VMX and TDX) APIs/helpers to
common.h/main.c, and change all namespace prefixes from "vmx" to
"vt"
- Fix a thankfully benign bug (due to other areas of KVM being
hardened) where userspace can bypass INIT_MEM_REGION's address wrap
check by providing a nr_pages that will overflow a u64 when
converted to bytes, and fix an also- benign off-by-one bug in the
check (inclusive vs. exclusive)
- Set the vmcs.GUEST_ACTIVITY_STATE back to ACTIVE when userspace
sets KVM's mp_state to anything other than HALTED, e.g. so that a
vCPU doesn't get stuck in HLT if userspace emulates RESET
guest_memfd:
- Take the invalidate lock when unbinding a dying file to fix a race
with kvm_gmem_invalidate_end() that results in KVM leaving the MMU
invalidation count elevated. Not taking the lock in the first place
was pure misguided paranoid
- When binding a memslot, purge the bindings if storing the new
memslot fails, as Xarray's "store range" API can subtly fail
partway through
- Establish memslot<=>guest_memfd bindings *after* the memslot is
ready, as the memslot becomes reachable the instant the binding is
installed
- Don't grab a page refcount when reloading an SNP VMSA and stop
returning a "struct page" from guest_memfd's PFN lookup altogether,
to ensure that KVM doesn't hold any unnecessary refcounts (the
lifetime of the page is ensured by MMU notifiers and similar
hooks). Preventing unnecessary refcounts greatly simplifies
supporting in-place SHARED=>PRIVATE conversions
- Add support for in-place PRIVATE<=>SHARED conversion, i.e. allow a
single guest_memfd instance to be used for both PRIVATE and SHARED
variations of CoCo guests' memory (though not at the same time).
This eliminates the need to double allocate guest memory for TDX
and SNP, and is basically a hard requirement for pKVM, which relies
on being able to preserve memory contents on conversions
- Hack-a-fix a deadlock bug in ->error_remove_folio() by returning
-EBUSY if the filemap invalidate lock is contended. Punt on a
proper fix for the moment, as a proper fix likely involves
reworking truncate_error_folio()
- Add a pile of selftests for in-place conversions
- Misc guest_memfd cleanups
Generic:
- Move some configuration items to preprocessor symbols, to help with
arm-on-s390's need to compile the same code twice with different
values
- Allow KVM implementations to choose alternative device names, also
for s390's support of ARM virtualmachines
- Switch the KVM-VFIO interface and external consumers over to
standard file-based reference counting, eliminating all external
KVM symbol exports
Selftests:
- Rework KVM selftest's handling of memory regions all so that PPC
can force its page table allocations to be naturally aligned
- PPC support
- Fix emulation of VMPTRST and VMPTRLD when eVMCS is in-use to match
real Hyper-V's behavior
- Saturate L2's TSC frequency if stacking L1 and L2 scaling
multipliers exceeds what hardware supports, as attempting to run L2
with an illegal multiplier will either cause VM-Entry to fail (VMX)
or trigger a #GP when writing MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO (SVM). The #GP is
thankfully benign in the grand scheme as even "unsafe" WRMSRs have
exception fixup
- Rework KVM selftest's handling of memory regions so that PPC can
force its page table allocations to be naturally aligned
- Clean up selftest's VMX instruction helpers, and drop an absurd
number of completely useless return values, e.g. functions that
unconditionally return %true and then have every caller assert
success
- Add selftests support for Zhaoxin CPUs
- Overhaul the TSC scaling test to add a regression test for the
saturation behavior, and to increase its coverage in general
- Fix selftests usage various NUMA syscalls to account for an
undocumented, but known since 2007, off-by-one kernel bug. Add
helpers to try and avoid re-introducing the same flaws in the
future
- Automatically run xAPIC IPI migration test (between NUMA nodes)
when possible, as the entire point of the test is verify KVM's

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau):
Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported
mTHP orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan
completion deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork
and remap; verify that the contents survive.
Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too.
- "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing"
(Sarthak Sharma):
Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the
benchmark into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest,
and move shared helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job
instead of mixing timing measurements with correctness checks.
Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly.
- "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun
Song):
Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the
backing metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling
of device memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime
requirements.
- "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB"
(Muchun Song):
Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with
section-based vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large
huge pages need fewer backing pages, while keeping initialization,
teardown and the various hugepage configurations straight.
- "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split
helpers" (Kairui Song):
Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather
different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into
separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix
error paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen.
Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting.
- "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):
Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional
code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and
lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both
cases along.
- "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):
Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long
since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling
around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.
- "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):
Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible,
rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the
contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces
latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings.
- "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):
Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes,
making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend
the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be
used rather than merely collected.
- "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi
Yan):
Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say
whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users,
including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and
flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb,
which need explicit care.
- "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes):
Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out
the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble
over freed tables while mappings are being torn down.
- "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):
Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so
reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the
per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist
its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports.
- "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):
Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table
interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a
useful purpose.
- "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):
Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're
actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their
neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless
cacheline traffic.
- "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region"
(Donggeun Yoo):
Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region.
Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region,
and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into
the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested.
- "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ
Park):
Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including
validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly
about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before
they become harder to diagnose.
- "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg
API" (Tal Zussman):
Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is
mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler
catch accidental writes.
- "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):
Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's
virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with
the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there
too.
- "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):
Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant
accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow
without changing the intended reclaim policy.
- "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
(Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush()
interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested
mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than
relying on subtly different architecture behavior.
- "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):
Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes.
They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only
makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and
let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether.
- "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):
Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path
helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin
behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.
- "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):
Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant
work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every
descriptor can get expensive.
- "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):
Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier
instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling
correct while saving per-entry metadata.
- "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory"
(Krishna Iyer):
Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant
access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall
through a hole in the monitoring machinery.
- "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport):
Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's
ownership and permission transitions more predictable.
- "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):
Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to
the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface
which we no longer need.
- "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory
Price):
Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference
to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the
ownership rules less obscure.
- "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry
Song):
Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold
and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list
handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction
candidates.
- "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):
Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation,
not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through
shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting,
and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior.
- "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve
usage" (Ye Liu):
Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and
make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less
frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages.
- "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ
Park):
Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers
can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.
- "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):
Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core,
interfaces and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler
code and fewer opportunities for confusion.
- "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in
docs" (SJ Park):
Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and
bring the documentation into line with the code. These changes should
make the newer facilities easier to understand and maintain.
- "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range
of folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new
interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the
desired hugepage sizes.
- "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):
Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and
reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong
rather than to test harness bookkeeping.
- "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes
Weiner):
Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap
space is available. There is little point paying for an expensive
split when reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out.
- "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu):
Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the
shadow entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does
not quietly consume more metadata than it should.
- "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu):
Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore
global settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it
found it, particularly when a whole suite follows behind.
- "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman):
Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio
and swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the
swap paths a little more consistent.
- "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price):
Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce
duplicated logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while
making it clearer how zones are selected.
- "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao):
Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock
once for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the
lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug
kernels.
- "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu):
Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under
Python safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and
documentation. Nothing especially glamorous, but these are worth
doing.
- "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park):
Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives
schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring
probes observed.
- "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim"
(Ridong Chen):
Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd.
The protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these
paths, leaving protected memory more exposed than requested.
- "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park):
Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and
expand test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes
in this batch.
- "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng
Wang):
Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD
and PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and
remove the redundant flag plumbing.
- "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during
demotion" (Longlong Xia):
Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting
huge pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as
one huge page turns into several smaller ones.
- "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params
validation" (Jason Angelov):
Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe
parameters. These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in
ordinary monitoring tests.
- "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms"
(SJ Park):
Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the
sysfs refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and
control behavior were real.
- "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang):
Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable
lookups and work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making
those frequent operations cheaper.
- "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato):
Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers.
There is no need to maintain another local version of the same
mechanism.
- "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu):
Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull
duplicated vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional
changes are intended.
- "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity"
(Ridong Chen):
Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read
and verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing
unnecessary twists in the control flow.
- "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury
Norov):
Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage
where the lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks
so such mistakes are harder to slip through unnoticed.
- "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi):
Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work
and tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which
were better fixed than left lying around.
- "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman):
Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete
wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is
intended to remain the same.
- "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park):
Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots
which have nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely
used swap devices.
- "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao):
Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags,
rather than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make
tracing a good deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings.
- "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao):
Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be
bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU
chasing an entry that cannot be used.
- "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):
Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten
its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result
should be more robust pageblock isolation.
- "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):
Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the
information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace
event needs it.
- "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):
Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the
implementations back into agreement.
- "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio"
(Hongfu Li):
Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between
nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can
retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.
- "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify
kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport):
Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up
some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right
interface.
- "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup"
(Tianyi Chen):
Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret
setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures
caused by the test harness itself.
- "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core
layer" (SJ Park):
Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making
each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions
consistent across callers.
- "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto
tuning" (Asier Gutierrez):
Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use
monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.
- "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default"
(Breno Leitao):
Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third
confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The
extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug
builds.
- "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):
Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are
reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to
guess how far the operation got.
- "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for
damon_call()" (SJ Park):
Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an
invalid state.
- "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):
Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another
way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the
filter interfaces and tests.
- "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):
Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API
surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.
- "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):
Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct
page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the
normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly.
- "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):
Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for
the next person to stumble over.
- "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents"
(Liew Rui Yan):
Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a
missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error
could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it
wasn't.
- "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui
Yan):
Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation
and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what
users should expect from that counter.
- "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson
Felipe Pereira):
Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting
child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and
avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained
scheduling.
- "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):
Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment.
Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.
- "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb()
fails" (Ackerley Tng):
Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure
failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale
accounting or resources behind.
- "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark"
(Ridong Chen):
Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor
doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open
measurements independent as intended.
- "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory
Price):
Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle
them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has
ordinary system-memory backing.
- "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):
Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There
is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

Pull irq chip driver updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for interrupt chip drivers:
- Remove the futile attempts to cleanup resources when the probing of
the main interrupt chip fails for SiFIVE/PLIC devices. If that
probe fails the system will stall immediately afterwards in the
boot process without reaching a state where the error could be
diagnosed. The lack of resource cleanup led to a frenzy of AI
detected/assisted "fixes" which just make the code pretend to be
correct for no value.
Remove the existing half baked cleanup and immediately panic the
machine when the probe fails. That's far more useful than letting
it proceed and stall out a millisecond later with no information
about the root cause.
- A series of fixes for the ARM GIC-V3 driver addressing a potential
double free, a bitmask overrun on 32-bit ARM and a OF node leak.
- Automatically set the IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC when a interrupt
domain is created that also allocates the generic interrupt chip
during domain creation. That removes the requirement for manually
setting the flag in the domain creation info structure when it
contains a valid entry for allocating the generic interrupt chip.
Remove the therefore redundant setters of
IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC in the existing drivers.
- Add support for Annapurna Labs FIC version 2 and 3 and implement
affinity control for the demultiplexed interrupts by utilizing the
recently merged interrupt redirection infrastructure.
- Convert the ACPI device ID structures to named initializers
- Consolidate the IPI related constants for RISC-V interrupt
controllers
- Add support for Qualcomm Purwa SoC interrupt chip and consolidate
the workaround for the previous version in Hamoa SoCs.
- The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place"
