<id>31c88350b7dd1522792f726f79607f31bb55c50f</id>
<content type='text'>
When a remote partition is created underneath an existing local partition
via a non-partition (PRS_MEMBER) intermediate cgroup, update_prstate() sees
parent-&gt;partition_root_state == PRS_MEMBER and calls
remote_partition_enable().

Commit 86888c7bd117 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add warnings to catch inconsistency
in exclusive CPUs") replaced the cpumask_intersects(tmp-&gt;new_cpus,
subpartitions_cpus) error check in remote_partition_enable() with
WARN_ON_ONCE(). As a result, remote_partition_enable() emits a warning
and proceeds to enable the remote partition on CPUs that are already
owned by the ancestor local partition in subpartitions_cpus.

This can be reproduced on Linux 7.3.0-rc3 with:

  mkdir -p /tmp/cg1
  mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/cg1
  echo "+cpuset" &gt; /tmp/cg1/cgroup.subtree_control

  mkdir /tmp/cg1/A
  echo 1 &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/cpuset.cpus
  echo 1 &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  echo root &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/cpuset.cpus.partition
  echo "+cpuset" &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/cgroup.subtree_control

  mkdir /tmp/cg1/A/B
  echo 1 &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/B/cpuset.cpus
  echo 1 &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/B/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  echo "+cpuset" &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/B/cgroup.subtree_control

  mkdir /tmp/cg1/A/B/D
  echo 1 &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/B/D/cpuset.cpus
  echo 1 &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/B/D/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  echo root &gt; /tmp/cg1/A/B/D/cpuset.cpus.partition

which triggers:

  WARNING: kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:1594 at remote_partition_enable+0x1c1/0x300

and leaves both /tmp/cg1/A and /tmp/cg1/A/B/D as active root partitions
claiming exclusive CPU 1.

Fix this by returning PERR_NOCPUS when tmp-&gt;new_cpus intersects
subpartitions_cpus in remote_partition_enable(), matching the error code
used by remote_cpus_update() for the same subpartitions_cpus conflict, and
add a regression test case to
tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh.

Tested in QEMU on Linux 7.3.0-rc3 using the reproducer above and
tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh.

<title>selftests/cgroup: account for zswap shrinker writeback</title>

The test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink selftest checks that when a cgroup has
zswapped out more memory than memory.zswap.max, it does not trigger
writeback for other cgroups.  To do this, it compares the writeback count
in a control cgroup and makes sure that it is 0, and then checks the
writeback count in an aggressor cgroup who does expect to see writeback.

However, when the zswap shrinker is enabled, the victim cgroup can see
legitimate writebacks not triggered by the aggressor.  In some Meta CI
tests, we have seen this failure mode happen.

Instead of checking that the victim cgroup has 0 writeback, compare the
writeback values before and after the aggressor runs and check that the
victim cgroup did not perform any additional writeback.  Note that this
can still lead to probabilistic failures if writebacks take longer than
5 seconds, but this should fix the systematic failure case and make
"not ok test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink" less likely.

O_TMPFILE, like O_CREAT, needs the third argument. Without it glibc
refuses the call at compile time as soon as fortification is on:

  In function 'open',
      inlined from 'get_temp_fd' at test_memcontrol.c:33:9:
  /usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:52:11: error: call to '__open_missing_mode'
    declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT or O_TMPFILE in
    second argument needs 3 arguments

The fortify checks take effect only once the compiler optimises, and
cgroup/Makefile builds with "-Wall -pthread" alone, so this goes
unnoticed in a plain build. Building the tests with the flags
distributions commonly use, -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, loses
test_memcontrol entirely.

Once cgroup.kill had been written to a cgroup, a stale kill_seq
snapshot (taken in cgroup_css_set_fork() before the target cgroup was
resolved) caused every child subsequently cloned into that cgroup with
clone3(CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) to be SIGKILLed on the spot.

Add a regression test: create a cgroup, kill it while it is empty,
then clone a child into it and check that the child runs and exits
cleanly. On a kernel without the fix, the test fails:

  not ok 4 test_cgkill_clone_into_killed

The test is skipped on kernels without clone3() or without
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP.

Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
   (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
   to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
   file-backed memory.

   Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
   conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
   improvements.

 - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
   (Baolin Wang)

   Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
   reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
   executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
   code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
   performance.

 - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
   Chen)

   Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
   parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
   sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
   proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.

 - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
   scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)

   Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
   scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
   producer updates.

   Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
   dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
   60% without impacting scan throughput.

 - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.

 - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
   memcg" (Zi Yan)

   Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
   splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
   node memory accounting.

 - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)

   Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
   generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
   files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.

 - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)

   Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
   mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.

 - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
   Huang)

   Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
   cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
   algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
   reinitialization.

 - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)

   Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
   moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
   writeback_store() and read_block_state().

 - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)

   Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
   and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.

 - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
   (Muhammad Usama Anjum)

   Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
   required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
   retry logic for transient page migration errors.

 - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)

   Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
   and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
   writeback efficiency.

 - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
   profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
   aggregation.

   This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
   provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
   data to userspace.

 - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
   (Christoph Hellwig)

   Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
   single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
   faster swap throughput during kernel builds.

 - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
   (Catalin Marinas)

   Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
   enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
   minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.

 - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
   (Breno Leitao)

   Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
   on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
   CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
   confirming scan.

 - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)

   Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
   regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
   overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
   writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
   export their own swap_ops.

 - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)

   khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
   comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
   PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
   documentation.

 - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)

   Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
   locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
   without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.

   Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation
   edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to
   GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL.

Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
   (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
   to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
   file-backed memory.

   Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
   conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
   improvements.

 - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
   (Baolin Wang)

   Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
   reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
   executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
   code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
   performance.

 - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
   Chen)

   Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
   parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
   sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
   proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.

 - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
   scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)

   Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
   scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
   producer updates.

   Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
   dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
   60% without impacting scan throughput.

 - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.

 - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
   memcg" (Zi Yan)

   Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
   splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
   node memory accounting.

<title>selftests/cgroup: test_zswap: skip test_no_kmem_bypass if debugfs is unavailable</title>

test_no_kmem_bypass() needs to read /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/stored_pages
via get_zswap_stored_pages() to verify that compressed pages are charged
to the memcg.

When running in an environment where debugfs is not mounted or
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is disabled, get_zswap_stored_pages() fails, causing the
loop to terminate early and report a false negative (KSFT_FAIL).

Selftests should not fail if debugfs is unavailable, and it should print a
message when it is skipped.

While I'm here, also add a warning message if the test is being skipped
due to totalram size and make the check for totalram more readable.
