|  Linus Torvalds | eb0ece1602 | - The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The 3 patch series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The 3 patch series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The 3 patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The 9 patch series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The 5 patch series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The 6 patch series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The 20 patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The 4 patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The 20 patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The 13 patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The 13 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The 3 patch series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The 8 patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The 2 patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The 2 patch series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The 3 patch series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The 3 patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The 5 patch series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The 5 patch series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The 4 patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The 2 patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The 2 patch series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHQEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZ+nZaAAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jsOWAPiP4r7CJHMZRK4eyJOkvS1a1r+TsIarrFZtjwvf/GIfAQCEG+JDxVfUaUSF Ee93qSSLR1BkNdDw+931Pu0mXfbnBw== =Pn2K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.

|  Linus Torvalds | 4a4b30ea80 | bcachefs updates for 6.15 On disk format is now soft frozen: no more required/automatic are
 anticipated before taking off the experimental label.
 
 Major changes/features since 6.14:
 
 - Scrub
 
 - Blocksize greater than page size support
 
 - A number of "rebalance spinning and doing no work" issues have been
   fixed; we now check if the write allocation will succeed in
   bch2_data_update_init(), before kicking off the read.
 
   There's still more work to do in this area. Later we may want to add
   another bitset btree, like rebalance_work, to track "extents that
   rebalance was requested to move but couldn't", e.g. due to destination
   target having insufficient online devices.
 
 - We can now support scaling well into the petabyte range: latest
   bcachefs-tools will pick an appropriate bucket size at format time to
   ensure fsck can run in available memory (e.g. a server with 256GB of
   ram and 100PB of storage would want 16MB buckets).
 
 On disk format changes:
 
 - 1.21: cached backpointers (scalability improvement)
 
   Cached replicas now get backpointers, which means we no longer rely on
   incrementing bucket generation numbers to invalidate cached data: this
   lets us get rid of the bucket generation number garbage collection,
   which had to periodically rescan all extents to recompute bucket
   oldest_gen.
 
   Bucket generation numbers are now only used as a consistency check,
   but they're quite useful for that.
 
 - 1.22: stripe backpointers
 
   Stripes now have backpointers: erasure coded stripes have their own
   checksums, separate from the checksums for the extents they contain
   (and stripe checksums also cover the parity blocks). This is required
   for implementing scrub for stripes.
 
 - 1.23: stripe lru (scalability improvement)
 
   Persistent lru for stripes, ordered by "number of empty blocks". This
   is used by the stripe creation path, which depending on free space
   may create a new stripe out of a partially empty existing stripe
   instead of starting a brand new stripe.
 
   This replaces an in-memory heap, and means we no longer have to read
   in the stripes btree at startup.
 
 - 1.24: casefolding
 
   Case insensitive directory support, courtesy of Valve.
 
   This is an incompatible feature, to enable mount with
     -o version_upgrade=incompatible
 
 - 1.25: extent_flags
 
   Another incompatible feature requiring explicit opt-in to enable.
 
   This adds a flags entry to extents, and a flag bit that marks extents
   as poisoned.
 
   A poisoned extent is an extent that was unreadable due to checksum
   errors. We can't move such extents without giving them a new checksum,
   and we may have to move them (for e.g. copygc or device evacuate).
   We also don't want to delete them: in the future we'll have an API
   that lets userspace ignore checksum errors and attempt to deal with
   simple bitrot itself. Marking them as poisoned lets us continue to
   return the correct error to userspace on normal read calls.
 
 Other changes/features:
 
 - BCH_IOCTL_QUERY_COUNTERS: this is used by the new 'bcachefs fs top'
   command, which shows a live view of all internal filesystem counters.
 
 - Improved journal pipelining: we can now have 16 journal writes in
   flight concurrently, up from 4. We're logging significantly more to
   the journal than we used to with all the recent disk accounting
   changes and additions, so some users should see a performance
   increase on some workloads.
 
 - BCH_MEMBER_STATE_failed: previously, we would do no IO at all to
   devices marked as failed. Now we will attempt to read from them, but
   only if we have no better options.
 
 - New option, write_error_timeout: devices will be kicked out of the
   filesystem if all writes have been failing for x number of seconds.
 
   We now also kick devices out when notified by blk_holder_ops that
   they've gone offline.
 
 - Device option handling improvements: the discard option should now be
   working as expected (additionally, in -tools, all device options that
   can be set at format time can now be set at device add time, i.e.
   data_allowed, state).
 
 - We now try harder to read data after a checksum error: we'll do
   additional retries if necessary to a device after after it gave us
   data with a checksum error.
 
 - More self healing work: the full inode <-> dirent consistency checks
   that are currently run by fsck are now also run every time we do a
   lookup, meaning we'll be able to correct errors at runtime. Runtime
   self healing will be flipped on after the new changes have seen more
   testing, currently they're just checking for consistency.
 
 - KMSAN fixes: our KMSAN builds should be nearly clean now, which will
   put a massive dent in the syzbot dashboard.

      that work in the submission handler.
 - Incremental iterator advance
   The folio_batch support for zero range where the filesystem provides
   a batch of folios to process that might not be logically continguous
   requires more flexibility than the current offset based iteration
   currently offers.
   Update all iomap operations to advance the iterator within the
   operation and thus remove the need to advance from the core iomap
   iterator.
 - Make buffered writes work with RWF_DONTCACHE
   If RWF_DONTCACHE is set for a write, mark the folios being written as
   uncached. On writeback completion the pages will be dropped.
 - Introduce infrastructure for large atomic writes

|  Nico Pache | 835de37603 | meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers Patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers", v2. This series introduces a way to track memory used by balloon drivers. Add a NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track how many pages are reclaimed by the balloon drivers. First add the accounting, then updates the balloon drivers (virtio, Hyper-V, VMware, Pseries-cmm, and Xen) to maintain this counter. The virtio, Vmware, and pseries-cmm balloon drivers utilize the balloon_compaction interface to allocate and free balloon pages. Other balloon drivers will have to maintain this counter manually. This makes the information visible in memory reporting interfaces like /proc/meminfo, show_mem, and OOM reporting. This provides admins visibility into their VM balloon sizes without requiring different virtualization tooling. Furthermore, this information is helpful when debugging an OOM inside a VM. This patch (of 4): Add NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track memory used by balloon drivers and expose it through /proc/meminfo and other memory reporting interfaces.

|  John Garry | 370a6de765 | iomap: rework IOMAP atomic flags Flag IOMAP_ATOMIC_SW is not really required. The idea of having this flag is that the FS ->iomap_begin callback could check if this flag is set to decide whether to do a SW (FS-based) atomic write. But the FS can set which ->iomap_begin callback it wants when deciding to do a FS-based atomic write. Furthermore, it was thought that IOMAP_ATOMIC_HW is not a proper name, as the block driver can use SW-methods to emulate an atomic write. So change back to IOMAP_ATOMIC. The ->iomap_begin callback needs though to indicate to iomap core that REQ_ATOMIC needs to be set, so add IOMAP_F_ATOMIC_BIO for that. These changes were suggested by Christoph Hellwig and Dave Chinner.

|  David Hildenbrand | 749492229e | mm: stop maintaining the per-page mapcount of large folios (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT) Everything is in place to stop using the per-page mapcounts in large
folios: the mapcount of tail pages will always be logically 0 (-1 value),
just like it currently is for hugetlb folios already, and the page
mapcount of the head page is either 0 (-1 value) or contains a page type
(e.g., hugetlb).
Maintaining _nr_pages_mapped without per-page mapcounts is impossible, so
that one also has to go with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
There are two remaining implications:
(1) Per-node, per-cgroup and per-lruvec stats of "NR_ANON_MAPPED"
    ("mapped anonymous memory") and "NR_FILE_MAPPED"
    ("mapped file memory"):
    As soon as any page of the folio is mapped -- folio_mapped() -- we
    now account the complete folio as mapped. Once the last page is
    unmapped -- !folio_mapped() -- we account the complete folio as
    unmapped.
    This implies that ...
    * "AnonPages" and "Mapped" in /proc/meminfo and
      /sys/devices/system/node/*/meminfo
    * cgroup v2: "anon" and "file_mapped" in "memory.stat" and
      "memory.numa_stat"
    * cgroup v1: "rss" and "mapped_file" in "memory.stat" and
      "memory.numa_stat
    ... can now appear higher than before. But note that these folios do
    consume that memory, simply not all pages are actually currently
    mapped.
    It's worth nothing that other accounting in the kernel (esp. cgroup
    charging on allocation) is not affected by this change.
    [why oh why is "anon" called "rss" in cgroup v1]
 (2) Detecting partial mappings
     Detecting whether anon THPs are partially mapped gets a bit more
     unreliable. As long as a single MM maps such a large folio
     ("exclusively mapped"), we can reliably detect it. Especially before
     fork() / after a short-lived child process quit, we will detect
     partial mappings reliably, which is the common case.
     In essence, if the average per-page mapcount in an anon THP is < 1,
     we know for sure that we have a partial mapping.
     However, as soon as multiple MMs are involved, we might miss detecting
     partial mappings: this might be relevant with long-lived child
     processes. If we have a fully-mapped anon folio before fork(), once
     our child processes and our parent all unmap (zap/COW) the same pages
     (but not the complete folio), we might not detect the partial mapping.
     However, once the child processes quit we would detect the partial
     mapping.
     How relevant this case is in practice remains to be seen.
     Swapout/migration will likely mitigate this.
     In the future, RMAP walkers could check for that for that case
     (e.g., when collecting access bits during reclaim) and simply flag
     them for deferred-splitting.

|  David Hildenbrand | 6dd55dd1c5 | fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for smaps/smaps_rollup (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT) Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
When computing the output for smaps / smaps_rollups, in particular when
calculating the USS (Unique Set Size) and the PSS (Proportional Set Size),
we still rely on per-page mapcounts.
To determine private vs.  shared, we'll use folio_likely_mapped_shared(),
similar to how we handle PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE.  Similarly, we might now
under-estimate the USS and count pages towards "shared" that are actually
"private" ("exclusively mapped").
When calculating the PSS, we'll now also use the average per-page mapcount
for large folios: this can result in both, an over-estimation and an
under-estimation of the PSS.  The difference is not expected to matter
much in practice, but we'll have to learn as we go.
We can now provide folio_precise_page_mapcount() only with
CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT, and remove one of the last users of per-page
mapcounts when CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT is enabled.
Document the new behavior.

|  Dan Williams | 653d7825c1 | dcssblk: mark DAX broken, remove FS_DAX_LIMITED support The dcssblk driver has long needed special case supoprt to enable limited dax operation, so called CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED. This mode works around the incomplete support for ZONE_DEVICE on s390 by forgoing the ability of dax-mapped pages to support GUP. Now, pending cleanups to fsdax that fix its reference counting [1] depend on the ability of all dax drivers to supply ZONE_DEVICE pages. To allow that work to move forward, dax support needs to be paused for dcssblk until ZONE_DEVICE support arrives. That work has been known for a few years [2], and the removal of "pte_devmap" requirements [3] makes the conversion easier. For now, place the support behind CONFIG_BROKEN, and remove PFN_SPECIAL (dcssblk was the only user).

|  John Garry | 794ca29dcc | iomap: Support SW-based atomic writes Currently atomic write support requires dedicated HW support. This imposes a restriction on the filesystem that disk blocks need to be aligned and contiguously mapped to FS blocks to issue atomic writes. XFS has no method to guarantee FS block alignment for regular, non-RT files. As such, atomic writes are currently limited to 1x FS block there. To deal with the scenario that we are issuing an atomic write over misaligned or discontiguous data blocks - and raise the atomic write size limit - support a SW-based software emulated atomic write mode. For XFS, this SW-based atomic writes would use CoW support to issue emulated untorn writes. It is the responsibility of the FS to detect discontiguous atomic writes and switch to IOMAP_DIO_ATOMIC_SW mode and retry the write. Indeed, SW-based atomic writes could be used always when the mounted bdev does not support HW offload, but this strategy is not initially expected to be used. Reviewed-by: "Darrick J.

|  NeilBrown | 88d5baf690 | Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry * Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have
complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g.  on a
different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir
request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir
request returns.  For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the
directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the
original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at()
calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry
before the first mkdir returns.
This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that
is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes.  Some
callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and
they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the
dentry is no longer hashed.
This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to
avoid races.  Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the
directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with
the mkdir.
To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the
resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in.
Possible returns are:
  NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used
  ERR_PTR() - an error occurred
  non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in
This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of
"err" or equivalent transformations.  Subsequent patches will make
further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry.
Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry:
- NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of
  the name to get inode information.  Races could result in this
  returning something different. Note that this lookup is
  non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid.  Placing the
  lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem
  has no other option.
- kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate
  operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate
  the dentry.  This could be fixed but I don't think it is important
  to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry.
The recommendation to use
    d_drop();d_splice_alias()
is ugly but fits with current practice.  A planned future patch will
change this.
