Currently, folio_expected_ref_count() only adds references for the swap
cache if the folio is anonymous. However, according to the comment above
the definition of PG_swapcache in enum pageflags, shmem folios can also
have PG_swapcache set. This patch makes sure references for the swap
cache are added if folio_test_swapcache(folio) is true.
This issue was found when trying to hot-unplug memory in a QEMU/KVM
virtual machine. When initiating hot-unplug when most of the guest memory
is allocated, hot-unplug hangs partway through removal due to migration
failures. The following message would be printed several times, and would
be printed again about every five seconds:
[ 49.641309] migrating pfn b12f25 failed ret:7

[ 49.641315] page dumped because: migration failure
When debugging this, I found that these migration failures were due to
__migrate_folio() returning -EAGAIN for a small set of folios because the
expected reference count it calculates via folio_expected_ref_count() is
one less than the actual reference count of the folios. Furthermore, all
of the affected folios were not anonymous, but had the PG_swapcache flag
set, inspiring this patch. After applying this patch, the memory
hot-unplug behaves as expected.
I tested this on a machine running Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel version
6.8.0-90-generic and 64GB of memory. The guest VM is managed by libvirt
and runs Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel version 6.18 (though the head of the
mm-unstable branch as a Dec 16, 2025 was also tested and behaves the same)
and 48GB of memory. The libvirt XML definition for the VM can be found at
[1]. CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_MOVABLE is set in the guest
kernel so the hot-pluggable memory is automatically onlined.
Below are the steps to reproduce this behavior:
1) Define and start and virtual machine
host$ virsh -c qemu:///system define ./test_vm.xml # test_vm.xml from [1]
host$ virsh -c qemu:///system start test_vm
2) Setup swap in the guest
guest$ sudo fallocate -l 32G /swapfile
guest$ sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile
guest$ sudo mkswap /swapfile
guest$ sudo swapon /swapfile
3) Use alloc_data [2] to allocate most of the remaining guest memory
guest$ ./alloc_data 45
4) In a separate guest terminal, monitor the amount of used memory
guest$ watch -n1 free -h
5) When alloc_data has finished allocating, initiate the memory
hot-unplug using the provided xml file [3]
host$ virsh -c qemu:///system detach-device test_vm ./remove.xml --live
After initiating the memory hot-unplug, you should see the amount of
available memory in the guest decrease, and the amount of used swap data
increase. If everything works as expected, when all of the memory is
unplugged, there should be around 8.5-9GB of data in swap. If the
unplugging is unsuccessful, the amount of used swap data will settle below
that. If that happens, you should be able to see log messages in dmesg
similar to the one posted above.

The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which are
caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to invoke
the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each
context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which
sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch
and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also
requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is
executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic
uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic
entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the
context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the
fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only
required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is
allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial
thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually
improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held
time and therefore contention goes down significantly.

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build
script to generate livepatch modules using a
source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree
kpatch project which began in 2012 and has been used for
many years to generate livepatch modules for production kernels.
However, this is a complete rewrite which incorporates
hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
which injects #line directives into the source .patch to preserve
the original line numbers at compile time.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.folio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file
position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common
operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current
folio.
The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and
is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems:
- btrfs
- buffer
- ext4
- f2fs
- gfs2
- iomap
- netfs
- xfs
- mm
This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files
larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but
the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs,
they were just mildly inefficient.
This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent
commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on
64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit
systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures.
Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in
places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it
is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are
always unsigned regardless of architecture"
* tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.folio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
fs: Add uoff_t
mm: Use folio_next_pos()
xfs: Use folio_next_pos()
netfs: Use folio_next_pos()
iomap: Use folio_next_pos()

It is useful to transition to using a bitmap for VMA flags so we can avoid
running out of flags, especially for 32-bit kernels which are constrained
to 32 flags, necessitating some features to be limited to 64-bit kernels
only.
By doing so, we remove any constraint on the number of VMA flags moving
forwards no matter the platform and can decide in future to extend beyond
64 if required.
We start by declaring an opaque types, vma_flags_t (which resembles
mm_struct flags of type mm_flags_t), setting it to precisely the same size
as vm_flags_t, and place it in union with vm_flags in the VMA declaration.
We additionally update struct vm_area_desc equivalently placing the new
opaque type in union with vm_flags.
This change therefore does not impact the size of struct vm_area_struct or
struct vm_area_desc.
In order for the change to be iterative and to avoid impacting
performance, we designate VM_xxx declared bitmap flag values as those
which must exist in the first system word of the VMA flags bitmap.
We therefore declare vma_flags_clear_all(), vma_flags_overwrite_word(),
vma_flags_overwrite_word(), vma_flags_overwrite_word_once(),
vma_flags_set_word() and vma_flags_clear_word() in order to allow us to
update the existing vm_flags_*() functions to utilise these helpers.
This is a stepping stone towards converting users to the VMA flags bitmap
and behaves precisely as before.
By doing this, we can eliminate the existing private vma->__vm_flags field
in the vma->vm_flags union and replace it with the newly introduced opaque
type vma_flags, which we call flags so we refer to the new bitmap field as
vma->flags.
We update vma_flag_[test, set]_atomic() to account for the change also.
We adapt vm_flags_reset_once() to only clear those bits above the first
system word providing write-once semantics to the first system word (which
it is presumed the caller requires - and in all current use cases this is
so).
As we currently only specify that the VMA flags bitmap size is equal to
BITS_PER_LONG number of bits, this is a noop, but is defensive in
preparation for a future change that increases this.
We additionally update the VMA userland test declarations to implement the
same changes there.
Finally, we update the rust code to reference vma->vm_flags on update
rather than vma->__vm_flags which has been removed. This is safe for now,
albeit it is implicitly performing a const cast.
Once we introduce flag helpers we can improve this more.
No functional change intended.

Patch series "initial work on making VMA flags a bitmap", v3.
We are in the rather silly situation that we are running out of VMA flags
as they are currently limited to a system word in size.
This leads to absurd situations where we limit features to 64-bit
architectures only because we simply do not have the ability to add a flag
for 32-bit ones.
This is very constraining and leads to hacks or, in the worst case, simply
an inability to implement features we want for entirely arbitrary reasons.
This also of course gives us something of a Y2K type situation in mm where
we might eventually exhaust all of the VMA flags even on 64-bit systems.
This series lays the groundwork for getting away from this limitation by
establishing VMA flags as a bitmap whose size we can increase in future
beyond 64 bits if required.
This is necessarily a highly iterative process given the extensive use of
VMA flags throughout the kernel, so we start by performing basic steps.
Firstly, we declare VMA flags by bit number rather than by value,
retaining the VM_xxx fields but in terms of these newly introduced
VMA_xxx_BIT fields.
While we are here, we use sparse annotations to ensure that, when dealing
with VMA bit number parameters, we cannot be passed values which are not
declared as such - providing some useful type safety.
We then introduce an opaque VMA flag type, much like the opaque mm_struct
flag type introduced in commit bb6525f2f8 ("mm: add bitmap mm->flags
field"), which we establish in union with vma->vm_flags (but still set at
system word size meaning there is no functional or data type size change).
We update the vm_flags_xxx() helpers to use this new bitmap, introducing
sensible helpers to do so.
This series lays the foundation for further work to expand the use of
bitmap VMA flags and eventually eliminate these arbitrary restrictions.
This patch (of 4):
In order to lay the groundwork for VMA flags being a bitmap rather than a
system word in size, we need to be able to consistently refer to VMA flags
by bit number rather than value.
Take this opportunity to do so in an enum which we which is additionally
useful for tooling to extract metadata from.
This additionally makes it very clear which bits are being used for what
at a glance.
We use the VMA_ prefix for the bit values as it is logical to do so since
these reference VMAs. We consistently suffix with _BIT to make it clear
what the values refer to.
We declare bit values even when the flags that use them would not be
enabled by config options as this is simply clearer and clearly defines
what bit numbers are used for what, at no additional cost.
We declare a sparse-bitwise type vma_flag_t which ensures that users can't
pass around invalid VMA flags by accident and prepares for future work
towards VMA flags being a bitmap where we want to ensure bit values are
type safe.
To make life easier, we declare some macro helpers - DECLARE_VMA_BIT()
allows us to avoid duplication in the enum bit number declarations (and
maintaining the sparse __bitwise attribute), and INIT_VM_FLAG() is used to
assist with declaration of flags.
Unfortunately we can't declare both in the enum, as we run into issue with
logic in the kernel requiring that flags are preprocessor definitions, and
additionally we cannot have a macro which declares another macro so we
must define each flag macro directly.
Additionally, update the VMA userland testing vma_internal.h header to
include these changes.
We also have to fix the parameters to the vma_flag_*_atomic() functions
since VMA_MAYBE_GUARD_BIT is now of type vma_flag_t and sparse will
complain otherwise.
We have to update some rather silly if-deffery found in mm/task_mmu.c
which would otherwise break.
Finally, we update the rust binding helper as now it cannot auto-detect
the flags at all.

In a recent commit, I inadvertently changed a comparison from being an
unsigned comparison (on 64-bit systems) to being a signed comparison
(which it had always been on 32-bit systems). This led to a sporadic
fstests failure.
To make sure this comparison is always unsigned, introduce a new type,
uoff_t which is the unsigned version of loff_t. Generally file sizes
are restricted to being a signed integer, but in these two places it is
convenient to pass -1 to indicate "up to the end of the file".

Patch series "mm: Add soft-dirty and uffd-wp support for RISC-V", v15.
This patchset adds support for Svrsw60t59b [1] extension which is ratified
now, also add soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking for
RISC-V.
The patches 1 and 2 add macros to allow architectures to define their own
checks if the soft-dirty / uffd_wp PTE bits are available, in other words
for RISC-V, the Svrsw60t59b extension is supported on which device the
kernel is running. Also patch1-2 are removing "ifdef
CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of checks which if not overridden by
the architecture, no change in behavior is expected.
This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty,
madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass, and
no regressions are observed in any of the other tests.
This patch (of 6):
Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it
unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource.
Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations
to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is
running.
This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of
pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by the architecture,
no change in behavior is expected.
We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(),
so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.

Patch series "make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky VMA flag", v2.
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
Now we have the concept of making VMA flags 'sticky', that is that they
both don't prevent merge and, importantly, are propagated to merged VMAs,
this seems a sensible alternative to the existing special-casing of
VM_SOFTDIRTY.
We additionally add a self-test that demonstrates that this logic behaves
as expected.
This patch (of 2):
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
This is because currently we simply ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY for the purposes
of merge, so one VMA may possess the flag and another not, and whichever
happens to be the target VMA will be the one upon which the merge is
performed which may or may not have VM_SOFTDIRTY set.
Now we have the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags, let's make VM_SOFTDIRTY one
which solves this issue.
Additionally update VMA userland tests to propagate changes.

Gather all the VMA flags whose presence implies that page tables must be
copied on fork into a single bitmap - VM_COPY_ON_FORK - and use this
rather than specifying individual flags in vma_needs_copy().
We also add VM_MAYBE_GUARD to this list, as it being set on a VMA implies
that there may be metadata contained in the page tables (that is - guard
markers) which would will not and cannot be propagated upon fork.
This was already being done manually previously in vma_needs_copy(), but
this makes it very explicit, alongside VM_PFNMAP, VM_MIXEDMAP and
VM_UFFD_WP all of which imply the same.
Note that VM_STICKY flags ought generally to be marked VM_COPY_ON_FORK too
- because equally a flag being VM_STICKY indicates that the VMA contains
metadat that is not propagated by being faulted in - i.e. that the VMA
metadata does not fully describe the VMA alone, and thus we must propagate
whatever metadata there is on a fork.
However, for maximum flexibility, we do not make this necessarily the case
here.

It is useful to be able to designate that certain flags are 'sticky', that
is, if two VMAs are merged one with a flag of this nature and one without,
the merged VMA sets this flag.
As a result we ignore these flags for the purposes of determining VMA flag
differences between VMAs being considered for merge.
This patch therefore updates the VMA merge logic to perform this action,
with flags possessing this property being described in the VM_STICKY
bitmap.
Those flags which ought to be ignored for the purposes of VMA merge are
described in the VM_IGNORE_MERGE bitmap, which the VMA merge logic is also
updated to use.
As part of this change we place VM_SOFTDIRTY in VM_IGNORE_MERGE as it
already had this behaviour, alongside VM_STICKY as sticky flags by
implication must not disallow merge.
Ultimately it seems that we should make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky flag in its
own right, but this change is out of scope for this series.
The only sticky flag designated as such is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, so as a result
of this change, once the VMA flag is set upon guard region installation,
VMAs with guard ranges will now not have their merge behaviour impacted as
a result and can be freely merged with other VMAs without VM_MAYBE_GUARD
set.
Also update the comments for vma_modify_flags() to directly reference
sticky flags now we have established the concept.
We also update the VMA userland tests to account for the changes.

This patch adds the ability to atomically set VMA flags with only the mmap
read/VMA read lock held.
As this could be hugely problematic for VMA flags in general given that
all other accesses are non-atomic and serialised by the mmap/VMA locks, we
implement this with a strict allow-list - that is, only designated flags
are allowed to do this.
We make VM_MAYBE_GUARD one of these flags.

Patch series "introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky", v4.
Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through
/proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level.
This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which
VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions
which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU.
This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag
which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for
these.
The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set
(we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if
not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present.
It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because
that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with
adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason.
To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky'
VMA flags - that is flags which:
a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be
merged (if otherwise compatible).
b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set.
The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly.
Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve
an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an
anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy()
correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes.
We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only
specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly
for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves
this issue.
Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be
atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held.
The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure
does not cause any races by being allowed to do so.
This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked
operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here.
Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the
sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to
assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented.
This patch (of 9):
Currently, if a user needs to determine if guard regions are present in a
range, they have to scan all VMAs (or have knowledge of which ones might
have guard regions).
Since commit 8e2f2aeb8b ("fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to
pagemap") and the related commit a516403787 ("fs/proc: extend the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions"), users can use either
/proc/$pid/pagemap or the PAGEMAP_SCAN functionality to perform this
operation at a virtual address level.
This is not ideal, and it gives no visibility at a /proc/$pid/smaps level
that guard regions exist in ranges.
This patch remedies the situation by establishing a new VMA flag,
VM_MAYBE_GUARD, to indicate that a VMA may contain guard regions (it is
uncertain because we cannot reasonably determine whether a
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE call has removed all of the guard regions in a VMA, and
additionally VMAs may change across merge/split).
We utilise 0x800 for this flag which makes it available to 32-bit
architectures also, a flag that was previously used by VM_DENYWRITE, which
was removed in commit 8d0920bde5 ("mm: remove VM_DENYWRITE") and hasn't
bee reused yet.
We also update the smaps logic and documentation to identify these VMAs.
Another major use of this functionality is that we can use it to identify
that we ought to copy page tables on fork.
We do not actually implement usage of this flag in mm/madvise.c yet as we
need to allow some VMA flags to be applied atomically under mmap/VMA read
lock in order to avoid the need to acquire a write lock for this purpose.

Poison (or ECC) errors can be very common on a large size cluster. The
kernel MM currently does not handle ECC errors / poison on a memory region
that is not backed by struct pages. If a memory region mapped using
remap_pfn_range() for example, but not added to the kernel, MM will not
have associated struct pages. Add a new mechanism to handle memory
failure on such memory.
Make kernel MM expose a function to allow modules managing the device
memory to register the device memory SPA and the address space associated
it. MM maintains this information as an interval tree. On poison, MM can
search for the range that the poisoned PFN belong and use the
address_space to determine the mapping VMA.
In this implementation, kernel MM follows the following sequence that is
largely similar to the memory_failure() handler for struct page backed
memory:
1. memory_failure() is triggered on reception of a poison error. An
absence of struct page is detected and consequently
memory_failure_pfn() is executed.
2. memory_failure_pfn() collects the processes mapped to the PFN.
3. memory_failure_pfn() sends SIGBUS to all the processes mapping the
faulty PFN using kill_procs().
Note that there is one primary difference versus the handling of the
poison on struct pages, which is to skip unmapping to the faulty PFN.
This is done to handle the huge PFNMAP support added recently [1] that
enables VM_PFNMAP vmas to map at PMD or PUD level. A poison to a PFN
mapped in such as way would need breaking the PMD/PUD mapping into PTEs
that will get mirrored into the S2. This can greatly increase the cost of
table walks and have a major performance impact.

This introduces a conditional asynchronous mechanism, enabled by
CONFIG_ASYNC_KERNEL_PGTABLE_FREE. When enabled, this mechanism defers the
freeing of pages that are used as page tables for kernel address mappings.
These pages are now queued to a work struct instead of being freed
immediately.
This deferred freeing allows for batch-freeing of page tables, providing a
safe context for performing a single expensive operation (TLB flush) for a
batch of kernel page tables instead of performing that expensive operation

The pages used for ptdescs are currently freed back to the allocator in a
single location. They will shortly be freed from a second location.
Create a simple helper that just frees them back to the allocator.

Now that the API is in place, mark kernel page table pages just after they
are allocated. Unmark them just before they are freed.
Note: Unconditionally clearing the 'kernel' marking (via
ptdesc_clear_kernel()) would be functionally identical to what is here.
But having the if() makes it logically clear that this function can be
used for kernel and non-kernel page tables.

The page tables used to map the kernel and userspace often have very
different handling rules. There are frequently *_kernel() variants of
functions just for kernel page tables. That's not great and has lead to
code duplication.
Instead of having completely separate call paths, allow a 'ptdesc' to be
marked as being for kernel mappings. Introduce helpers to set and clear
this status.
Note: this uses the PG_referenced bit. Page flags are a great fit for
this since it is truly a single bit of information. Use PG_referenced
itself because it's a fairly benign flag (as opposed to things like
PG_lock). It's also (according to Willy) unlikely to go away any time
soon.
PG_referenced is not in PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE. It does not need to be
cleared before freeing the page, and pages coming out of the allocator
should have it cleared. Regardless, introduce an API to clear it anyway.
Having symmetry in the API makes it easier to change the underlying
implementation later, like if there was a need to move to a
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE bit.

Some drivers/filesystems need to perform additional tasks after the VMA is
set up. This is typically in the form of pre-population.
The forms of pre-population most likely to be performed are a PFN remap
or the insertion of normal folios and PFNs into a mixed map.
We start by implementing the PFN remap functionality, ensuring that we
perform the appropriate actions at the appropriate time - that is setting
flags at the point of .mmap_prepare, and performing the actual remap at the
point at which the VMA is fully established.
This prevents the driver from doing anything too crazy with a VMA at any
stage, and we retain complete control over how the mm functionality is
applied.
Unfortunately callers still do often require some kind of custom action,
so we add an optional success/error _hook to allow the caller to do
something after the action has succeeded or failed.
This is done at the point when the VMA has already been established, so
the harm that can be done is limited.
The error hook can be used to filter errors if necessary.
There may be cases in which the caller absolutely must hold the file rmap
lock until the operation is entirely complete. It is an edge case, but
certainly the hugetlbfs mmap hook requires it.
To accommodate this, we add the hide_from_rmap_until_complete flag to the
mmap_action type. In this case, if a new VMA is allocated, we will hold the
file rmap lock until the operation is entirely completed (including any
success/error hooks).
Note that we do not need to update __compat_vma_mmap() to accommodate this
flag, as this function will be invoked from an .mmap handler whose VMA is
not yet visible, so we implicitly hide it from the rmap.
If any error arises on these final actions, we simply unmap the VMA
altogether.
Also update the stacked filesystem compatibility layer to utilise the
action behaviour, and update the VMA tests accordingly.
While we're here, rename __compat_vma_mmap_prepare() to __compat_vma_mmap()
as we are now performing actions invoked by the mmap_prepare in addition to
just the mmap_prepare hook.

The only instances in which we customise this function are ones in which we
customise the PFN used.
Instances where architectures were not passing the pgprot value through
pgprot_decrypted() are ones where pgprot_decrypted() was a no-op anyway, so
we can simply always pass pgprot through this function.
Use this fact to simplify the use of io_remap_pfn_range(), by abstracting
the PFN via io_remap_pfn_range_pfn() and using this instead of providing a
general io_remap_pfn_range() function per-architecture.

We need the ability to split PFN remap between updating the VMA and
performing the actual remap, in order to do away with the legacy f_op->mmap
hook.
To do so, update the PFN remap code to provide shared logic, and also make
remap_pfn_range_notrack() static, as its one user, io_mapping_map_user()
was removed in commit 9a4f90e246 ("mm: remove mm/io-mapping.c").
Then, introduce remap_pfn_range_prepare(), which accepts VMA descriptor
and PFN parameters, and remap_pfn_range_complete() which accepts the same
parameters as remap_pfn_rangte().
remap_pfn_range_prepare() will set the cow vma->vm_pgoff if necessary, so
it must be supplied with a correct PFN to do so.
While we're here, also clean up the duplicated #ifdef
__HAVE_PFNMAP_TRACKING check and put into a single #ifdef/#else block.
We keep these internal to mm as they should only be used by internal
helpers.

In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios. In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.
In commit fae7d834c4 ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle. In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios. Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.
In commit 7b4f21f5e0 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.
Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.
To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc). Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.
Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios. Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.
While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.
Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer.
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.
Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.
While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

Kernel panics because it detects UFFD inconsistency during
userfaultfd_release_all(). Specifically, a VMA which has a valid pointer
to vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx, but no UFFD flags in vma->vm_flags.
The inconsistency is caused in ksm_madvise(): when user calls madvise()
with MADV_UNMEARGEABLE on a VMA that is registered for UFFD in MINOR mode,
it accidentally clears all flags stored in the upper 32 bits of
vma->vm_flags.
Assuming x86_64 kernel build, unsigned long is 64-bit and unsigned int and
int are 32-bit wide. This setup causes the following mishap during the &=
~VM_MERGEABLE assignment.
VM_MERGEABLE is a 32-bit constant of type unsigned int, 0x8000'0000.
After ~ is applied, it becomes 0x7fff'ffff unsigned int, which is then
promoted to unsigned long before the & operation. This promotion fills
upper 32 bits with leading 0s, as we're doing unsigned conversion (and
even for a signed conversion, this wouldn't help as the leading bit is 0).
& operation thus ends up AND-ing vm_flags with 0x0000'0000'7fff'ffff
instead of intended 0xffff'ffff'7fff'ffff and hence accidentally clears
the upper 32-bits of its value.
Fix it by changing `VM_MERGEABLE` constant to unsigned long, using the
BIT() macro.
Note: other VM_* flags are not affected: This only happens to the
VM_MERGEABLE flag, as the other VM_* flags are all constants of type int
and after ~ operation, they end up with leading 1 and are thus converted
to unsigned long with leading 1s.
Note 2:
After commit 31defc3b01 ("userfaultfd: remove (VM_)BUG_ON()s"), this is
no longer a kernel BUG, but a WARNING at the same place:
[ 45.595973] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2474 at mm/userfaultfd.c:2067
but the root-cause (flag-drop) remains the same.

Helge reported that the introduction of PP_MAGIC_MASK let to crashes on
boot on his 32-bit parisc machine. The cause of this is the mask is set
too wide, so the page_pool_page_is_pp() incurs false positives which
crashes the machine.
Just disabling the check in page_pool_is_pp() will lead to the page_pool
code itself malfunctioning; so instead of doing this, this patch changes
the define for PP_DMA_INDEX_BITS to avoid mistaking arbitrary kernel
pointers for page_pool-tagged pages.
The fix relies on the kernel pointers that alias with the pp_magic field
always being above PAGE_OFFSET. With this assumption, we can use the
lowest bit of the value of PAGE_OFFSET as the upper bound of the
PP_DMA_INDEX_MASK, which should avoid the false positives.
Because we cannot rely on PAGE_OFFSET always being a compile-time
constant, nor on it always being >0, we fall back to disabling the
dma_index storage when there are not enough bits available. This leaves
us in the situation we were in before the patch in the Fixes tag, but
only on a subset of architecture configurations. This seems to be the
best we can do until the transition to page types in complete for
page_pool pages.
v2:
- Make sure there's at least 8 bits available and that the PAGE_OFFSET
bit calculation doesn't wrap

Let's add a simple helper for determining the number of contiguous pages
that represent contiguous PFNs.
In an ideal world, this helper would be simpler or not even required.
Unfortunately, on some configs we still have to maintain (SPARSEMEM
without VMEMMAP), the memmap is allocated per memory section, and we might
run into weird corner cases of false positives when blindly testing for
contiguous pages only.
One example of such false positives would be a memory section-sized hole
that does not have a memmap. The surrounding memory sections might get
"struct pages" that are contiguous, but the PFNs are actually not.
This helper will, for example, be useful for determining contiguous PFNs
in a GUP result, to batch further operations across returned "struct
page"s. VFIO will utilize this interface to accelerate the VFIO DMA map
process.
Implementation based on Linus' suggestions to avoid new usage of
nth_page() where avoidable.

KCSAN reports a data race on mm_cluster.hiwater_rss, which can be accessed
concurrently from various paths like page migration and memory unmapping
without synchronization.
Since hiwater_rss is a statistical field for accounting purposes, this
data race is benign. Annotate both the read and write accesses with
data_race() to make KCSAN happy.

As raised by Andrew [1], a folio/compound page never spans a negative
number of pages. Consequently, let's use "unsigned long" instead of
"long" consistently for folio_nr_pages(), folio_large_nr_pages() and
compound_nr().
Using "unsigned long" as return value is fine, because even
"(long)-folio_nr_pages()" will keep on working as expected. Using
"unsigned int" instead would actually break these use cases.
This patch takes the first step changing these to return unsigned long
(and making drm_gem_get_pages() use the new types instead of replacing
min()).
In the future, we might want to make more callers of these functions to
consistently use "unsigned long".

Patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups".
The first two patches here are preparation for splitting struct ptdesc
from struct page and struct folio. I think their only dependency is on
the memdesc_flags_t patches from August which is in mm-new. The third
patch is just something I noticed while working on the code.
This patch (of 3):
Use the new memdesc_flags_t type to show that these are the same bits as
page/folio/slab and thesefore have the zone/node/section information in
them. Remove a use of ptdesc_folio() by converting
pagetable_is_reserved() to use test_bit() directly.

Patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters", v6.
This series is to improved const-correctness in the low-level
memory-management subsystem, which provides a basis for further
constification further up the call stack (e.g. filesystems).
I started this work when I tried to constify the Ceph filesystem code, but
found that to be impossible because many "mm" functions accept non-const
pointers, even though they modify nothing.
This patch (of 12):
We select certain test functions which either invoke each other, functions
that are already const-ified, or no further functions.
It is therefore relatively trivial to const-ify them, which provides a
basis for further const-ification further up the call stack.

Let's disallow handing out PFN ranges with non-contiguous pages, so we can
remove the nth-page usage in __cma_alloc(), and so any callers don't have
to worry about that either when wanting to blindly iterate pages.
This is really only a problem in configs with SPARSEMEM but without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, and only when we would cross memory sections in some
cases.
Will this cause harm? Probably not, because it's mostly 32bit that does
not support SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. If this ever becomes a problem we could
look into allocating the memmap for the memory sections spanned by a
single CMA region in one go from memblock.
[david@redhat.com: we can have NUMMU configs with SPARSEMEM enabled]

Now that a single folio/compound page can no longer span memory sections
in problematic kernel configurations, we can stop using nth_page() in
folio_page() and folio_page_idx().
While at it, turn both macros into static inline functions and add kernel
doc for folio_page_idx().

Let's limit the maximum folio size in problematic kernel config where the
memmap is allocated per memory section (SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP) to a single memory section.
Currently, only a single architectures supports ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE but
not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP: sh.
Fortunately, the biggest hugetlb size sh supports is 64 MiB
(HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_64MB) and the section size is at least 64 MiB
(SECTION_SIZE_BITS == 26), so their use case is not degraded.
As folios and memory sections are naturally aligned to their order-2 size
in memory, consequently a single folio can no longer span multiple memory
sections on these problematic kernel configs.
nth_page() is no longer required when operating within a single compound
page / folio.

Let's reject them early, which in turn makes folio_alloc_gigantic() reject
them properly.
To avoid converting from order to nr_pages, let's just add MAX_FOLIO_ORDER
and calculate MAX_FOLIO_NR_PAGES based on that.
While at it, let's just make the order a "const unsigned order".
