Pankaj Raghav provides a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
falls to zero.
- The 3 patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a
few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature.
- The 10 patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all
arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To
end the constant struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with
64-bit's needs.
- The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li
cleans up some swap code.
- The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip
unsupported tests" from Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests
code.
- The 7 patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide
THPs when advised" from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes
to opt-out of THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other
workloads on the system".
It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations.
- The 11 patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox
gets us started on the memdesc project. Please see
https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc.

pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements
to the page allocator code.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae

arch-specific implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN
arch-specific initialization code into a common arch-neutral
implementation.

zspool - an indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
(zsmalloc).
- The 2 patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from
Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code.
- The 37 patch series "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand
makes rather a lot of adjustments at various nth_page() callsites,
eventually permitting the removal of that undesirable helper function.
- The 2 patch series "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from

from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code.
- The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer
parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API
functions more accurate about the constness of their arguments. This
was getting in the way of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they
attempt to improving their own const/non-const accuracy.
- The 7 patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola
fixes a number of code sites which were confused over when to use
free_pages() vs __free_pages().

split_pte_mapped_thp improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and
some cleanups to the thp selftesting code.
- The 14 patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache
(phase I)" from Chris Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the
path to implementing "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation
and state tracking which is expected to yield speed and space
improvements. This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit
in some situations.
- The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.
- The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from
Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code.
- The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from
Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new
memory allocation profiling feature.
- The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few
cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work.

DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in
furtherance of supporting arm highmem.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix
warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.
- The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM
Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements
in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim
threads so they can release resources.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18"
from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization
check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and
maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and
non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to
userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
- The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
an anon vma.
- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon
clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
- The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
of large folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.
- The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters
during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these
counters.
- The 2 patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei
Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
mm_slot handling.

- Prepare for cgroup sub-scheduler support by adding @sch parameter to
various functions and helpers, reorganizing scheduler instance handling,
and dropping obsolete helpers like scx_kf_exit() and kf_cpu_valid().

scx_cgroup_rwsem based synchronization. This is simpler and allows
enable/disable paths to synchronize against cgroup changes independent of

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- Code organization cleanup. Separate internal types and accessors to
ext_internal.h to reduce the size of ext.c and improve
maintainability.
- Prepare for cgroup sub-scheduler support by adding @sch parameter to
various functions and helpers, reorganizing scheduler instance
handling, and dropping obsolete helpers like scx_kf_exit() and
kf_cpu_valid().
- Add new scx_bpf_cpu_curr() and scx_bpf_locked_rq() BPF helpers to
provide safer access patterns with proper RCU protection.
scx_bpf_cpu_rq() is deprecated with warnings due to potential race
conditions.
- Improve debugging with migration-disabled counter in error state
dumps, SCX_EFLAG_INITIALIZED flag, bitfields for warning flags, and
other enhancements to help diagnose issues.
- Use cgroup_lock/unlock() for cgroup synchronization instead of
scx_cgroup_rwsem based synchronization. This is simpler and allows
enable/disable paths to synchronize against cgroup changes
independent of the CPU controller.
- rhashtable_lookup() replacement to avoid redundant RCU locking was
reverted due to RCU usage warnings. Will be redone once rhashtable is
updated to use rcu_dereference_all().
- Other misc updates and fixes including bypass handling improvements,
scx_task_iter_relock() improvements, tools/sched_ext updates, and
compatibility helpers.

For now, migrate_enable and migrate_disable are global, which makes them
become hotspots in some case. Take BPF for example, the function calling
to migrate_enable and migrate_disable in BPF trampoline can introduce
significant overhead, and following is the 'perf top' of FENTRY's
benchmark (./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bench trig-fentry):
54.63% bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry [k]
bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry
10.43% [kernel] [k] migrate_enable

1.32% [kernel] [k] fput
1.16% [kernel] [k] _copy_to_user
0.73% [kernel] [k] bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp
So in this commit, we make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline to obtain
better performance. The struct rq is defined internally in
kernel/sched/sched.h, and the field "nr_pinned" is accessed in
migrate_enable/migrate_disable, which makes it hard to make them inline.
Alexei Starovoitov suggests to generate the offset of "nr_pinned" in [1],
so we can define the migrate_enable/migrate_disable in
include/linux/sched.h and access "this_rq()->nr_pinned" with
"(void *)this_rq() + RQ_nr_pinned".
The offset of "nr_pinned" is generated in include/generated/rq-offsets.h
by kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c.
Generally speaking, we move the definition of migrate_enable and
migrate_disable to include/linux/sched.h from kernel/sched/core.c. The
calling to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is leaved in ___migrate_enable().
The "struct rq" is not available in include/linux/sched.h, so we can't
access the "runqueues" with this_cpu_ptr(), as the compilation will fail
in this_cpu_ptr() -> raw_cpu_ptr() -> __verify_pcpu_ptr():
typeof((ptr) + 0)
So we introduce the this_rq_raw() and access the runqueues with
arch_raw_cpu_ptr/PERCPU_PTR directly.
The variable "runqueues" is not visible in the kernel modules, and export
it is not a good idea. As Peter Zijlstra advised in [2], we define and
export migrate_enable/migrate_disable in kernel/sched/core.c too, and use
them for the modules.

John reported undesirable behaviour with the dl_server since commit:
cccb45d7c4 ("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server handling").
When starving fair tasks on purpose (starting spinning FIFO tasks),
his fair workload, which often goes (briefly) idle, would delay fair
invocations for a second, running one invocation per second was both
unexpected and terribly slow.
The reason this happens is that when dl_se->server_pick_task() returns
NULL, indicating no runnable tasks, it would yield, pushing any later
jobs out a whole period (1 second).
Instead simply stop the server. This should restore behaviour in that
a later wakeup (which restarts the server) will be able to continue
running (subject to the CBS wakeup rules).
Notably, this does not re-introduce the behaviour cccb45d7c4 set
out to solve, any start/stop cycle is naturally throttled by the timer
period (no active cancel).

John found it was easy to hit lockup warnings when running locktorture
on a 2 CPU VM, which he bisected down to: commit cccb45d7c4
("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server handling").
While debugging it seems there is a chance where we end up with the
dl_server dequeued, with dl_se->dl_server_active. This causes
dl_server_start() to return without enqueueing the dl_server, thus it
fails to run when RT tasks starve the cpu.
When this happens, dl_server_timer() catches the
'!dl_se->server_has_tasks(dl_se)' case, which then calls
replenish_dl_entity() and dl_server_stopped() and finally return
HRTIMER_NO_RESTART.
This ends in no new timer and also no enqueue, leaving the dl_server
'dead', allowing starvation.
What should have happened is for the bandwidth timer to start the
zero-laxity timer, which in turn would enqueue the dl_server and cause
dl_se->server_pick_task() to be called -- which will stop the
dl_server if no fair tasks are observed for a whole period.
IOW, it is totally irrelevant if there are fair tasks at the moment of
bandwidth refresh.
This removes all dl_se->server_has_tasks() users, so remove the whole
thing.

sched_ext: idle: Handle migration-disabled tasks in BPF code
When scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl()/and() kfuncs are invoked outside of
ops.select_cpu() we can't rely on @p->migration_disabled to determine if
migration is disabled for the task @p.
In fact, migration is always disabled for the current task while running
BPF code: __bpf_prog_enter() disables migration and __bpf_prog_exit()
re-enables it.
To handle this, when @p->migration_disabled == 1, check whether @p is
the current task. If so, migration was not disabled before entering the
callback, otherwise migration was disabled.
This ensures correct idle CPU selection in all cases. The behavior of
ops.select_cpu() remains unchanged, because this callback is never
invoked for the current task and migration-disabled tasks are always
excluded.
Example: without this change scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() called from
ops.enqueue() always returns -EBUSY; with this change applied, it
correctly returns idle CPUs.

scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() can be called from ops.cpu_release() when a
CPU is taken by a higher scheduling class to give tasks queued to the
CPU's local DSQ a chance to be migrated somewhere else, instead of
waiting indefinitely for that CPU to become available again.
In doing so, we decided to skip migration-disabled tasks, under the
assumption that they cannot be migrated anyway.
However, when a higher scheduling class preempts a CPU, the running task
is always inserted at the head of the local DSQ as a migration-disabled
task. This means it is always skipped by scx_bpf_reenqueue_local(), and
ends up being confined to the same CPU even if that CPU is heavily
contended by other higher scheduling class tasks.
As an example, let's consider the following scenario:
$ schedtool -a 0,1, -e yes > /dev/null
$ sudo schedtool -F -p 99 -a 0, -e \
stress-ng -c 1 --cpu-load 99 --cpu-load-slice 1000
The first task (SCHED_EXT) can run on CPU0 or CPU1. The second task
(SCHED_FIFO) is pinned to CPU0 and consumes ~99% of it. If the SCHED_EXT
task initially runs on CPU0, it will remain there because it always sees
CPU0 as "idle" in the short gaps left by the RT task, resulting in ~1%
utilization while CPU1 stays idle:

By allowing scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to re-enqueue migration-disabled

It's debatable whether per-CPU tasks should be re-enqueued as well, but
doing so is probably safer: the scheduler can recognize re-enqueued
tasks through the %SCX_ENQ_REENQ flag, reassess their placement, and
either put them back at the head of the local DSQ or let another task
attempt to take the CPU.
This also prevents giving per-CPU tasks an implicit priority boost,
which would otherwise make them more likely to reclaim CPUs preempted by
higher scheduling classes.

When doing load balance and the target cfs_rq is in throttled hierarchy,
whether to allow balancing there is a question.
The good side to allow balancing is: if the target CPU is idle or less
loaded and the being balanced task is holding some kernel resources,
then it seems a good idea to balance the task there and let the task get
the CPU earlier and release kernel resources sooner. The bad part is, if
the task is not holding any kernel resources, then the balance seems not
that useful.
While theoretically it's debatable, a performance test[0] which involves
200 cgroups and each cgroup runs hackbench(20 sender, 20 receiver) in
pipe mode showed a performance degradation on AMD Genoa when allowing
load balance to throttled cfs_rq. Analysis[1] showed hackbench doesn't
like task migration across LLC boundary. For this reason, add a check in
can_migrate_task() to forbid balancing to a cfs_rq that is in throttled
hierarchy. This reduced task migration a lot and performance restored.

With the introduction of task based throttle model, task in a throttled
hierarchy is allowed to continue to run till it gets throttled on its
ret2user path.
For this reason, remove those throttled_hierarchy() checks in the
following functions so that those tasks can get their turn as normal
tasks: dequeue_entities(), check_preempt_wakeup_fair() and
yield_to_task_fair().
The benefit of doing it this way is: if those tasks gets the chance to
run earlier and if they hold any kernel resources, they can release
those resources earlier. The downside is, if they don't hold any kernel
resouces, all they can do is to throttle themselves on their way back to
user space so the favor to let them run seems not that useful and for
check_preempt_wakeup_fair(), that favor may be bad for curr.
K Prateek Nayak pointed out prio_changed_fair() can send a throttled
task to check_preempt_wakeup_fair(), further tests showed the affinity
change path from move_queued_task() can also send a throttled task to
check_preempt_wakeup_fair(), that's why the check of task_is_throttled()

With task based throttle model, tasks in a throttled hierarchy are
allowed to continue to run if they are running in kernel mode. For this
reason, PELT clock is not stopped for these cfs_rqs in throttled
hierarchy when they still have tasks running or queued.
Since PELT clock is not stopped, whether to allow update_cfs_group()
doing its job for cfs_rqs which are in throttled hierarchy but still
have tasks running/queued is a question.
The good side is, continue to run update_cfs_group() can get these
cfs_rq entities with an up2date weight and that up2date weight can be
useful to derive an accurate load for the CPU as well as ensure fairness
if multiple tasks of different cgroups are running on the same CPU.
OTOH, as Benjamin Segall pointed: when unthrottle comes around the most
likely correct distribution is the distribution we had at the time of
throttle.
In reality, either way may not matter that much if tasks in throttled
hierarchy don't run in kernel mode for too long. But in case that
happens, let these cfs_rq entities have an up2date weight seems a good
thing to do.

Before task based throttle model, propagating load will stop at a
throttled cfs_rq and that propagate will happen on unthrottle time by
update_load_avg().
Now that there is no update_load_avg() on unthrottle for throttled
cfs_rq and all load tracking is done by task related operations, let the
propagate happen immediately.
While at it, add a comment to explain why cfs_rqs that are not affected
by throttle have to be added to leaf cfs_rq list in
propagate_entity_cfs_rq() per my understanding of commit 0258bdfaff

In this scenario, after terminating the first memhog, the conditions for

However, these migrated pages are only counted for in PGPROMOTE_SUCCESS,

To solve these confusing statistics, introduce PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE_NRL to

PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE is to avoid changing the existing algorithm or

Many scx schedulers make use of scx_bpf_cpu_rq() to check a remote curr

SCX hooks into CPU cgroup controller operations and read-locks
scx_cgroup_rwsem to exclude them while enabling and disable schedulers.
While this works, it's unnecessarily complicated given that
cgroup_[un]lock() are available and thus the cgroup operations can be locked
out that way.
Drop scx_cgroup_rwsem locking from the tg on/offline and cgroup [can_]attach
operations. Instead, grab cgroup_lock() from scx_cgroup_lock(). Drop
scx_cgroup_finish_attach() which is no longer necessary. Drop the now
unnecessary rcu locking and css ref bumping in scx_cgroup_init() and
scx_cgroup_exit().
As scx_cgroup_set_weight/bandwidth() paths aren't protected by
cgroup_lock(), rename scx_cgroup_rwsem to scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem and retain
the locking there.
This is overall simpler and will also allow enable/disable paths to
synchronize against cgroup changes independent of the CPU controller.

scx_enable() turns on the bypass mode while enable is in progress. If
enabling fails, it turns off the bypass mode and then triggers scx_error().
scx_error() will trigger scx_disable_workfn() which will turn on the bypass
mode again and unload the failed scheduler.
This moves the system out of bypass mode between the enable error path and
the disable path, which is unnecessary and can be brittle - e.g. the thread
running scx_enable() may already be on the failed scheduler and can be
switched out before it triggers scx_error() leading to a stall. The watchdog
would eventually kick in, so the situation isn't critical but is still
suboptimal.
There is nothing to be gained by turning off the bypass mode between
scx_enable() failure and scx_disable_workfn(). Keep bypass on.

During tasks iteration, the locks can be dropped using
scx_task_iter_unlock() to perform e.g. sleepable allocations. Afterwards,
scx_task_iter_relock() has to be called prior to other iteration operations,
which is error-prone. This can be easily automated by tracking whether
scx_tasks_lock is held in scx_task_iter and re-acquiring when necessary. It
already tracks whether the task's rq is locked after all.
- Add scx_task_iter->list_locked which remembers whether scx_tasks_lock is
held.
- Rename scx_task_iter->locked to scx_task_iter->locked_task to better
distinguish it from ->list_locked.
- Replace scx_task_iter_relock() with __scx_task_iter_maybe_relock() which
is automatically called by scx_task_iter_next() and scx_task_iter_stop().
- Drop explicit scx_task_iter_relock() calls.
The resulting behavior should be equivalent.

With task based throttle model, the previous way to check cfs_rq's
nr_queued to decide if throttled time should be accounted doesn't work
as expected, e.g. when a cfs_rq which has a single task is throttled,
that task could later block in kernel mode instead of being dequeued on
limbo list and accounting this as throttled time is not accurate.
Rework throttle time accounting for a cfs_rq as follows:
- start accounting when the first task gets throttled in its hierarchy;
- stop accounting on unthrottle.
Note that there will be a time gap between when a cfs_rq is throttled
and when a task in its hierarchy is actually throttled. This accounting
mechanism only starts accounting in the latter case.

In current throttle model, when a cfs_rq is throttled, its entity will
be dequeued from cpu's rq, making tasks attached to it not able to run,
thus achiveing the throttle target.
This has a drawback though: assume a task is a reader of percpu_rwsem
and is waiting. When it gets woken, it can not run till its task group's
next period comes, which can be a relatively long time. Waiting writer
will have to wait longer due to this and it also makes further reader
build up and eventually trigger task hung.
To improve this situation, change the throttle model to task based, i.e.
when a cfs_rq is throttled, record its throttled status but do not remove
it from cpu's rq. Instead, for tasks that belong to this cfs_rq, when
they get picked, add a task work to them so that when they return
to user, they can be dequeued there. In this way, tasks throttled will
not hold any kernel resources. And on unthrottle, enqueue back those
tasks so they can continue to run.
Throttled cfs_rq's PELT clock is handled differently now: previously the
cfs_rq's PELT clock is stopped once it entered throttled state but since
now tasks(in kernel mode) can continue to run, change the behaviour to
stop PELT clock when the throttled cfs_rq has no tasks left.
