When hugetlb_vmdelete_list() processes VMAs during truncate operations, it
may encounter VMAs where huge_pmd_unshare() is called without the required
shareable lock. This triggers an assertion failure in
hugetlb_vma_assert_locked().
The previous fix in commit dd83609b8898 ("hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without
shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list") skipped entire VMAs without
shareable locks to avoid the assertion. However, this prevented pages
from being unmapped and freed, causing a regression in
fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE) operations where pages were not freed immediately,
as reported by Mark Brown.
Instead of checking locks in the caller or skipping VMAs, move the lock
assertions in huge_pmd_unshare() to after the early return checks. The
assertions are only needed when actual PMD unsharing work will be
performed. If the function returns early because sz != PMD_SIZE or the
PMD is not shared, no locks are required and assertions should not fire.
This approach reverts the VMA skipping logic from commit dd83609b8898
("hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list")
while moving the assertions to avoid the assertion failure, keeping all
the logic within huge_pmd_unshare() itself and allowing page unmapping and
freeing to proceed for all VMAs.

Soft lockup is not triggered with THP or base page because there is
cond_resched() called for each PMD size.
Although the soft lockup was triggered by MTE, it should be not MTE
specific. The other processing which takes long time in the loop may
trigger soft lockup too.
So add cond_resched() for hugetlb to avoid soft lockup.

Commit 79359d6d24df ("hugetlb: perform vmemmap optimization on a list of
pages") batches the submission of HugeTLB vmemmap optimization (HVO)
during hugepage reservation. With HVO enabled, hugepages obtained from
the buddy allocator are not submitted for optimization and their
struct-page memory is therefore not released—until the entire
reservation request has been satisfied. As a result, any struct-page
memory freed in the course of the allocation cannot be reused for the
ongoing reservation, artificially limiting the number of huge pages that
can ultimately be provided.
As commit b1222550fbf7 ("mm/hugetlb: do pre-HVO for bootmem allocated
pages") already applies early HVO to bootmem-allocated huge pages, this
patch extends the same benefit to non-bootmem pages by incrementally
submitting them for HVO as they are allocated, thereby returning
struct-page memory to the buddy allocator in real time. The change raises
the maximum 2 MiB hugepage reservation from just under 376 GB to more than
381 GB on a 384 GB x86 VM.

There are two options to resolve the potential latent issue:
1. warn against PMD sharing in copy_hugetlb_page_range(),
2. fix it.
This patch opts for the second option.
While at it, simplify the comment, the details are not actually relevant
anymore.

In cloud environments with massive hugepage reservations (95%+ of system
RAM), single-attempt allocation during early boot often fails due to
memory pressure.
Commit 91f386bf0772 ("hugetlb: batch freeing of vmemmap pages")
intensified this by deferring page frees, increase peak memory usage
during allocation.
Introduce a retry mechanism that leverages vmemmap optimization reclaim
(~1.6% memory) when available. Upon initial allocation failure, the
system retries until successful or no further progress is made, ensuring
reliable hugepage allocation while preserving batched vmemmap freeing
benefits.
Testing on a 256G machine allocating 252G of hugepages:
Before: 128056/129024 hugepages allocated
After: Successfully allocated all 129024 hugepages

We can now safely iterate over all pages in a folio, so no need for the
pfn_to_page().
Also, as we already force the refcount in __init_single_page() to 1
through init_page_count(), we can just set the refcount to 0 and avoid
page_ref_freeze() + VM_BUG_ON. Likely, in the future, we would just want
to tell __init_single_page() to which value to initialize the refcount.
Further, adjust the comments to highlight that we are dealing with an
open-coded prep_compound_page() variant, and add another comment
explaining why we really need the __init_single_page() only on the tail
pages.
Note that the current code was likely problematic, but we never ran into
it: prep_compound_tail() would have been called with an offset that might
exceed a memory section, and prep_compound_tail() would have simply added
that offset to the page pointer -- which would not have done the right
thing on sparsemem without vmemmap.

Let's check that no hstate that corresponds to an unreasonable folio size
is registered by an architecture. If we were to succeed registering, we
could later try allocating an unsupported gigantic folio size.
Further, let's add a BUILD_BUG_ON() for checking that HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER
is sane at build time. As HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER is dynamic on powerpc, we
have to use a BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() to make it compile.
No existing kernel configuration should be able to trigger this check:
either SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP cannot be configured or
gigantic folios will not exceed a memory section (the case on sparse).

changes required by mm-stable material: hugetlb and damon.

Patch series "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes", v2.
This patchset ensures that the number of hugepages is correctly set in the
system so that the uffd-stress test does not fail due to the racy nature
of the test. Patch 1 changes the hugepage constraint in the
run_vmtests.sh script, whereas patch 2 changes the constraint in the test
itself.
This patch (of 2):
We observed uffd-stress selftest failure on arm64 and intermittent
failures on x86 too:
running ./uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32
bounces: 17, mode: rnd read, ERROR: UFFDIO_COPY error: -12 (errno=12, @uffd-common.c:617) [FAIL]
not ok 18 uffd-stress hugetlb-private 128 32 # exit=1
For this particular case, the number of free hugepages from run_vmtests.sh
will be 128, and the test will allocate 64 hugepages in the source
location. The stress() function will start spawning threads which will
operate on the destination location, triggering uffd-operations like
UFFDIO_COPY from src to dst, which means that we will require 64 more
hugepages for the dst location.
Let us observe the locking_thread() function. It will lock the mutex kept
at dst, triggering uffd-copy. Suppose that 127 (64 for src and 63 for
dst) hugepages have been reserved. In case of BOUNCE_RANDOM, it may
happen that two threads trying to lock the mutex at dst, try to do so at
the same hugepage number. If one thread succeeds in reserving the last
hugepage, then the other thread may fail in alloc_hugetlb_folio(),
returning -ENOMEM. I can confirm that this is indeed the case by this
hacky patch:
:--- a/mm/hugetlb.c
; +++ b/mm/hugetlb.c
; @@ -6929,6 +6929,11 @@ int hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte(pte_t *dst_pte,

; + goto out;
; + }
; ret = -ENOMEM;
; goto out;
; }
This code path gets triggered indicating that the PMD at which one thread
is trying to map a hugepage, gets filled by a racing thread.
Therefore, instead of using freepgs to compute the amount of memory, use
freepgs - (min(32, nr_cpus) - 1), so that the test still has some extra
hugepages to use. The adjustment is a function of min(32, nr_cpus) - the
value of nr_parallel in the test - because in the worst case, nr_parallel
number of threads will try to map a hugepage on the same PMD, one will win
the allocation race, and the other nr_parallel - 1 threads will fail, so
we need extra nr_parallel - 1 hugepages to satisfy this request. Note
that, in case the adjusted value underflows, there is a check for the
number of free hugepages in the test itself, which will fail:
get_free_hugepages() < bytes / page_size A negative value will be passed
on to bytes which is of type size_t, thus the RHS will become a large
value and the check will fail, so we are safe.

When restoring a reservation for an anonymous page, we need to check to
freeing a surplus. However, __unmap_hugepage_range() causes data race
because it reads h->surplus_huge_pages without the protection of
hugetlb_lock.
And adjust_reservation is a boolean variable that indicates whether
reservations for anonymous pages in each folio should be restored.
Therefore, it should be initialized to false for each round of the loop.
However, this variable is not initialized to false except when defining
the current adjust_reservation variable.
This means that once adjust_reservation is set to true even once within
the loop, reservations for anonymous pages will be restored
unconditionally in all subsequent rounds, regardless of the folio's state.
To fix this, we need to add the missing hugetlb_lock, unlock the
page_table_lock earlier so that we don't lock the hugetlb_lock inside the
page_table_lock lock, and initialize adjust_reservation to false on each
round within the loop.

The unlikely predates an era where we were checking for
hwpoisoned/migration entries prior to checking whether the pte was
present.
Currently, we check for the pte to be a migration/hwpoison entry after we
have checked that is not present, so it must be either one or the other.

There is a comment in hugetlb_fault() that does not hold anymore. This
one:
/*
* vmf.orig_pte could be a migration/hwpoison vmf.orig_pte at this
* point, so this check prevents the kernel from going below assuming
* that we have an active hugepage in pagecache. This goto expects
* the 2nd page fault, and is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned)
* check will properly handle it.
*/
This was written because back in the day we used to do:
hugetlb_fault () {
ptep = huge_pte_offset(...)
if (ptep) {
entry = huge_ptep_get(ptep)
if (unlikely(is_hugetlb_entry_migration(entry))
...
else if (unlikely(is_hugetlb_entry_hwpoisoned(entry)))
...
}
...
...
/*
* entry could be a migration/hwpoison entry at this point, so this
* check prevents the kernel from going below assuming that we have
* a active hugepage in pagecache. This goto expects the 2nd page fault,
* and is_hugetlb_entry_(migration|hwpoisoned) check will properly
* handle it.
*/
if (!pte_present(entry))
goto out_mutex;
...
}
The code was designed to check for hwpoisoned/migration entries upfront,
and then bail out if further down the pte was not present anymore, relying
on the second fault to properly handle migration/hwpoison entries that
time around.
The way we handle this is different nowadays, so drop the misleading
comment.

anon_rmap is used to determine whether the new allocated folio is
anonymous. Rename it to something more meaningul like new_anon_folio and
make it boolean, as we use it like that.
While we are at it, drop 'new_pagecache_folio' as 'new_anon_folio' is
enough to check whether we need to restore the consumed reservation.

Recent conversations showed that there was a misunderstanding about why we
were locking the folio prior to call in hugetlb_wp(). In fact, as soon as
we have the folio mapped into the pagetables, we no longer need to hold it
locked, because we know that no concurrent truncation could have happened.
There is only one case where the folio needs to be locked, and that is
when we are handling an anonymous folio, because hugetlb_wp() will check
whether it can re-use it exclusively for the process that is faulting it
in.
So, pass the folio locked to hugetlb_wp() when that is the case.

Patch series "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path", v4.
This patchset aims to give some love to the hugetlb faulting path, doing
so by removing obsolete comments that are no longer true, sorting out the
folio lock, and changing the mechanism we use to determine whether we are
COWing a private mapping already.
The most important patch of the series is #1, as it fixes a deadlock that
was described in [1], where two processes were holding the same lock for
the folio in the pagecache, and then deadlocked in the mutex. Note that
this can also happen for anymous folios. This has been tested using this
reproducer, below
Looking up and locking the folio in the pagecache was done to check
whether that folio was the same folio we had mapped in our pagetables,
meaning that if it was different we knew that we already mapped that folio
privately, so any further CoW would be made on a private mapping, which
lead us to the question: __Was the reservation for that address
consumed?__ That is all we care about, because if it was indeed consumed
and we are the owner and we cannot allocate more folios, we need to unmap
the folio from the processes pagetables and make it exclusive for us.
We figured we do not need to look up the folio at all, and it is just
enough to check whether the folio we have mapped is anonymous, which means
we mapped it privately, so the reservation was indeed consumed.
Patch#2 sorts out folio locking in the faulting path, reducing the scope
of it ,only taking it when we are dealing with an anonymous folio and
document it. More details in the patch.
Patch#3-5 are cleanups.
Here is the reproducer:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#define PROTECTION (PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE)
#define LENGTH (2UL*1024*1024)
#define ADDR (void *)(0x0UL)
#define FLAGS (MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB)
void __read(char *addr)
{
int i = 0;
printf("a[%d]: %c\n", i, addr[i]);
}
void fill(char *addr)
{
addr[0] = 'd';
printf("addr: %c\n", addr[0]);
}
int main(void)
{
void *addr;
pid_t pid, wpid;
int status;
addr = mmap(ADDR, LENGTH, PROTECTION, FLAGS, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
return -1;
}
printf("Parent faulting in RO\n");
__read(addr);
sleep (10);
printf("Forking\n");
pid = fork();
switch (pid) {
case -1:
perror("fork");
break;
case 0:
sleep (4);
printf("Child: Faulting in\n");
fill(addr);
exit(0);
break;
default:
printf("Parent: Faulting in\n");
fill(addr);
while((wpid = wait(&status)) > 0);
if (munmap(addr, LENGTH))
perror("munmap");
}
return 0;
}
You will also have to add a delay in hugetlb_wp, after releasing the mutex
and before unmapping, so the window is large enough to reproduce it
reliably.

This patch (of 5):
hugetlb_wp() checks whether the process is trying to COW on a private
mapping in order to know whether the reservation for that address was
already consumed. If it was consumed and we are the ownner of the
mapping, the folio will have to be unmapped from the other processes.
Currently, that check is done by looking up the folio in the pagecache and
compare it to the folio which is mapped in our pagetables. If it differs,
it means we already mapped it privately before, consuming a reservation on
the way. All we are interested in is whether the mapped folio is
anonymous, so we can simplify and check for that instead.

are required for a merge of the series "mm: folio_pte_batch()
improvements".

When we try to allocate a folio via alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve(), we need
to ensure that there is an active reservation associated with the
allocation. Otherwise, our allocation request would fail if there are no
active reservations made at that moment against any other allocations.
This is because alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve() checks h->resv_huge_pages
before proceeding with the allocation.
Therefore, to address this issue, we just need to make a reservation (by
calling hugetlb_reserve_pages()) before we try to allocate the folio.
This will also ensure that proper region/subpool accounting is done
associated with our allocation.

Patch series "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation", v4.
There are cases when we try to pin a folio but discover that it has not
been faulted-in. So, we try to allocate it in memfd_alloc_folio() but the
allocation request may not succeed if there are no active reservations in
the system at that instant.
Therefore, making a reservation (by calling hugetlb_reserve_pages())
associated with the allocation will ensure that our request would not fail
due to lack of reservations. This will also ensure that proper
region/subpool accounting is done with our allocation.
This patch (of 3):
Currently, hugetlb_reserve_pages() returns a bool to indicate whether the
reservation map update for the range [from, to] was successful or not.
This is not sufficient for the case where the caller needs to determine
how many entries were updated for the range.
Therefore, have hugetlb_reserve_pages() return the number of entries
updated in the reservation map associated with the range [from, to].
Also, update the callers of hugetlb_reserve_pages() to handle the new
return value.

The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of
vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of
vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this.
While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical
pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type.
Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes.
To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and
architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit.
The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code
as far as is needed.
We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch.
Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

The for loop inside hugetlb_change_protection() increments by the huge
page size:
psize = huge_page_size(h);
for (; address < end; address += psize)
so we are operating on the head page of the huge pages between address and
end. We can safely convert the struct page usage to struct folio.

There are cases when we try to pin a folio but discover that it has not
been faulted-in. So, we try to allocate it in memfd_alloc_folio() but
there is a chance that we might encounter a fatal crash/failure
(VM_BUG_ON(!h->resv_huge_pages) in alloc_hugetlb_folio_reserve()) if there
are no active reservations at that instant. This issue was reported by
syzbot:

Therefore, prevent the above crash by removing the VM_BUG_ON() as there is
no need to crash the system in this situation and instead we could just
fail the allocation request.
Furthermore, as described above, the specific situation where this happens
is when we try to pin memfd folios before they are faulted-in. Although,
this is a valid thing to do, it is not the regular or the common use-case.
Let us consider the following scenarios:
1) hugetlbfs_file_mmap()
memfd_alloc_folio()
hugetlb_fault()
2) memfd_alloc_folio()
hugetlbfs_file_mmap()
hugetlb_fault()
3) hugetlbfs_file_mmap()
hugetlb_fault()
alloc_hugetlb_folio()
3) is the most common use-case where first a memfd is allocated followed
by mmap(), user writes/updates and then the relevant folios are pinned
(memfd_pin_folios()). The BUG this patch is fixing occurs in 2) because
we try to pin the folios before hugetlbfs_file_mmap() is called. So, in
this situation we try to allocate the folios before pinning them but since
we did not make any reservations, resv_huge_pages would be 0, leading to
this issue.

In isolate_or_dissolve_huge_folio(), after acquiring the hugetlb_lock, it
is only for the purpose of obtaining the correct hstate, which is then
passed to alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio().
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio() itself also acquires the hugetlb_lock.
We can have alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio() obtain the hstate by
itself, so that isolate_or_dissolve_huge_folio() no longer needs to
acquire the hugetlb_lock. In addition, we keep the folio_test_hugetlb()
check within isolate_or_dissolve_huge_folio(). By doing so, we can avoid
disrupting the normal path by vainly holding the hugetlb_lock.
replace_free_hugepage_folios() has the same issue, and we should address
it as well.
Addresses a possible performance problem which was added by the hotfix
113ed54ad276 ("mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when
replacing free hugetlb folios").

huge_pmd_unshare() drops a reference on a page table that may have
previously been shared across processes, potentially turning it into a
normal page table used in another process in which unrelated VMAs can
afterwards be installed.
If this happens in the middle of a concurrent gup_fast(), gup_fast() could
end up walking the page tables of another process. While I don't see any
way in which that immediately leads to kernel memory corruption, it is
really weird and unexpected.
Fix it with an explicit broadcast IPI through tlb_remove_table_sync_one(),
just like we do in khugepaged when removing page tables for a THP
collapse.

Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through
vm_ops->may_split(). This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are
taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our
process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to
be shared again before we actually perform the split.
Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from
__split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens. At that
point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked.
An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper
hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts:
1. from hugetlb_split(), holding:
- mmap lock (exclusively)
- VMA lock
- file rmap lock (exclusively)
2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to
call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently
only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock
Backporting note:
This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit
b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that
commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually
also go all the way back.

this.
- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.
- "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.
- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.
- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.
- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.
- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.
- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.
- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.
- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.
This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.
- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

The function __unmap_hugepage_range() has two kinds of users:
1) unmap_hugepage_range(), which passes in the head page of a folio.
Since unmap_hugepage_range() already takes folio and there are no other
uses of the folio struct in the function, it is natural for
__unmap_hugepage_range() to take folio also.
2) All other uses, which pass in NULL pointer.
In both cases, we can pass in folio. Refactor __unmap_hugepage_range() to
take folio.

Patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions
take folio instead of page", v4.
This patch (of 4):
unmap_ref_private() has only a single user, which passes in &folio->page.
Let it take the folio directly.

If, during a mremap() operation for a hugetlb-backed memory mapping,
copy_vma() fails after the source vma has been duplicated and opened (ie.
vma_link() fails), the error is handled by closing the new vma. This
updates the hugetlbfs reservation counter of the reservation map which at
this point is referenced by both the source vma and the new copy. As a
result, once the new vma has been freed and copy_vma() returns, the
reservation counter for the source vma will be incorrect.
This patch addresses this corner case by clearing the hugetlb private page
reservation reference for the new vma and decrementing the reference
before closing the vma, so that vma_close() won't update the reservation
counter. This is also what copy_vma_and_data() does with the source vma
if copy_vma() succeeds, so a helper function has been added to do the
fixup in both functions.
The issue was reported by a private syzbot instance and can be reproduced
using the C reproducer in [1]. It's also a possible duplicate of public
syzbot report [2]. The WARNING report is:

Hugetlb boot allocation has used online nodes for allocation since commit
de55996d7188 ("mm/hugetlb: use online nodes for bootmem allocation").
This was needed to be able to do the allocations earlier in boot, before
N_MEMORY was set.
This might lead to a different distribution of gigantic hugepages across
NUMA nodes if there are memoryless nodes in the system.
What happens is that the memoryless nodes are tried, but then the memblock
allocation fails and falls back, which usually means that the node that
has the highest physical address available will be used (top-down
allocation). While this will end up getting the same number of hugetlb
pages, they might not be be distributed the same way. The fallback for
each memoryless node might not end up coming from the same node as the
successful round-robin allocation from N_MEMORY nodes.
While administrators that rely on having a specific number of hugepages
per node should use the hugepages=N:X syntax, it's better not to change
the old behavior for the plain hugepages=N case.
To do this, construct a nodemask for hugetlb bootmem purposes only,
containing nodes that have memory. Then use that for round-robin bootmem
allocations.
This saves some cycles, and the added advantage here is that hugetlb_cma
can use it too, avoiding the older issue of pointless attempts to create a
CMA area for memoryless nodes (which will also cause the per-node CMA area
size to be too small).

alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio() allocates a rmappable folio, then strips the
rmappable part and freezes it. We can simplify all that by allocating
frozen pages directly.

Before trying to allocate a page, gather_surplus_pages() sets up a
nodemask for the nodes we can allocate from, but instead of passing the
nodemask down the road to the page allocator, it iterates over the nodes
within that nodemask right there, meaning that the page allocator will
receive a preferred_nid and a null nodemask.
This is a problem when using a memory policy, because it might be that the
page allocator ends up using a node as a fallback which is not represented
in the policy.
Avoid that by passing the nodemask directly to the page allocator, so it
can filter out fallback nodes that are not part of the nodemask.

mk_huge_pte() is a bad API. Despite its name, it creates a normal PTE
which is later transformed into a huge PTE by arch_make_huge_pte(). So
replace the page argument with a folio argument and call folio_mk_pte()
instead. Then, because we now know this is a regular PTE rather than a
huge one, use pte_mkdirty() instead of huge_pte_mkdirty() (and similar
functions).

During our testing with hugetlb subpool enabled, we observe that
hstate->resv_huge_pages may underflow into negative values. Root cause
analysis reveals a race condition in subpool reservation fallback handling
as follow:
hugetlb_reserve_pages()
/* Attempt subpool reservation */
gbl_reserve = hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, chg);
/* Global reservation may fail after subpool allocation */
if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0)
goto out_put_pages;
out_put_pages:
/* This incorrectly restores reservation to subpool */
hugepage_subpool_put_pages(spool, chg);
When hugetlb_acct_memory() fails after subpool allocation, the current
implementation over-commits subpool reservations by returning the full
'chg' value instead of the actual allocated 'gbl_reserve' amount. This
discrepancy propagates to global reservations during subsequent releases,
eventually causing resv_huge_pages underflow.
This problem can be trigger easily with the following steps:
1. reverse hugepage for hugeltb allocation
2. mount hugetlbfs with min_size to enable hugetlb subpool
3. alloc hugepages with two task(make sure the second will fail due to
insufficient amount of hugepages)
4. with for a few seconds and repeat step 3 which will make
hstate->resv_huge_pages to go below zero.
To fix this problem, return corrent amount of pages to subpool during the
fallback after hugepage_subpool_get_pages is called.

Since commit d2d786714080 ("mm/hugetlb: enable bootmem allocation from CMA
areas"), a flag is used to mark hugetlb folios as allocated from CMA.
This flag is also used to decide if it should be freed to CMA.
However, the flag isn't copied to the smaller folios when a hugetlb folio
is broken up for demotion, which would cause it to be freed incorrectly.
Fix this by copying the flag to the smaller order hugetlb pages created
from the original one.
