During futex_key_to_node_opt() execution, vma->vm_policy is read under
speculative mmap lock and RCU. Concurrently, mbind() may call
vma_replace_policy() which frees the old mempolicy immediately via
kmem_cache_free().
This creates a race where __futex_key_to_node() dereferences a freed
mempolicy pointer, causing a use-after-free read of mpol->mode.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.
As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

commit bda420b985 ("numa balancing: migrate on fault among multiple
bound nodes") adds new flag MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING to enable NUMA balancing
for MPOL_BIND memory policy.
When the cpuset of tasks changes, the mempolicy of the task is rebound by
mpol_rebind_nodemask(). When MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and
MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES are both not set, the behaviour of rebinding should
be same whenever MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING is set or not. So, when an
application calls set_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING set but both
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES cleared,
mempolicy.w.cpuset_mems_allowed should be set to
cpuset_current_mems_allowed nodemask. However, in current implementation,
mpol_store_user_nodemask() wrongly returns true, causing
mempolicy->w.user_nodemask to be incorrectly set to the user-specified
nodemask. Later, when the cpuset of the application changes,
mpol_rebind_nodemask() ends up rebinding based on the user-specified
nodemask rather than the cpuset_mems_allowed nodemask as intended.
I can reproduce with the following steps in qemu with 4 NUMA nodes:
1. echo '+cpuset' > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
2. mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
3. ./reproducer &
4. cat /proc/$pid/numa_maps, the task is bound to NUMA 1
5. echo $pid > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
6. cat /proc/$pid/numa_maps, the task is bound to NUMA 0 now.
The reproducer code:
int main()
{
struct bitmask *bmp;
int ret;
bmp = numa_parse_nodestring("1");
ret = set_mempolicy(MPOL_BIND | MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING,
bmp->maskp, bmp->size + 1);
if (ret < 0) {
perror("Failed to call set_mempolicy");
exit(-1);
}
while (1);
return 0;
}
If I call set_mempolicy() without MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING in the reproducer
code. After step 5, the task is still bound to NUMA 1.
To fix this, only set mempolicy->w.user_nodemask to the user-specified
nodemask if MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES is present.

- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts (SEAs),
allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a non-fatal
manner.
- Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers in
hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ.
- Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU.
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long need_resched
latencies observed when destroying a large VM.
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests
Loongarch:
- Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register.
- Add AVEC basic support.
- Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC.
- Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests.
RISC/V:
- SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest
- Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores
s390:
- Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of
exits (and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor;
ESCA was introduced by z114/z196 in 2010.
- VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support
- Operation exception forwarding support
- Cleanups
x86:
- Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO SPTE
caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to zap.
- Relocate a misplaced export.
- Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue when the
guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when handling an SMI and
then returning to paged mode via RSM.
- Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown, keeping
the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the MSRs and the
callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the CPU manages to
return to userspace before the system goes down.
- Use the checked version of {get,put}_user().
- Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for periodic APIC
timers can result in a hard lockup in the host.
- Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections.
- Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the latter
behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS.
- Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast path;
the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to paper of a bug
in the core #MC code, and that has long since been fixed.
- Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with emulated
devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with large multi-byte
instructions.
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs.
- Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation.
- Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode.
- Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking intercepts
during emulation of L2 instructions.
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on
VMRUN and #VMEXIT.
- Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting a soft
interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the VM-Exit, e.g.
when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3.
- Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits to
userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that don't require
any actual support from KVM.
x86 (Intel):
- Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of the
current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to pave the
way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT flushes on pCPU
migration if the root is clean from a previous flush.
- Add a few missing nested consistency checks.
- Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware as the
functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer useful in general;
replace it with an off-by-default module param to WARN if hardware fails
a check that KVM does not perform.
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
on VM-Enter.
- Misc cleanups.
- Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting on behalf
of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention in the TDX-Module;
KVM was either working around these in weird, ugly ways, or was simply
oblivious to them (though even Yan's devilish selftests could only break
individual VMs, not the host kernel)
- Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a TDX vCPU,
if creating said vCPU failed partway through.
- Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL).
- Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace.
- Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR values if the
TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber host MSRs as expected.
Selftests:
- Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU system/VM.
- Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with specifying
ARCH=x86_64 on the command line.
- Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well.
- Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test to
verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using 5-level
paging, but L2 is not.
- Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core logic for
nested EPT and nested NPT.
guest_memfd:
- Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety of
rough edges in guest_memfd along the way.
- Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a guest_memfd
from a memslot to make it harder to leak references.
- Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug selftests like
those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where test and/or KVM bugs
often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors.
- Misc cleanups.
Generic:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU workqueue for
irqfd cleanup.
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation.
- Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first
vCPU instead of continuing the round-robin search.

entry logic here instead and spell out the special huge_pte_none() case we
must consider.

Introduce softleaf_from_pmd() to do the equivalent operation for PMDs that
softleaf_from_pte() fulfils, and cascade changes through code base
accordingly, introducing helpers as necessary.
We are then able to eliminate pmd_to_swp_entry(),
is_pmd_migration_entry(), is_pmd_device_private_entry() and
is_pmd_non_present_folio_entry().
This further establishes the use of leaf operations throughout the code

is_swap_pmd().

Adding a new helper vma_is_single_threaded_private() to check whether it's

In the future, guest_memfd might be moved to core-mm, at which point the

Many users (including upcoming ones) don't really need the flags etc, and
can live with the possible overhead of a function call.
So let's provide a basic, non-inlined folio_pte_batch(), to avoid code
bloat while still providing a variant that optimizes out all flag checks
at runtime. folio_pte_batch_flags() will get inlined into
folio_pte_batch(), optimizing out any conditionals that depend on input
flags.
folio_pte_batch() will behave like folio_pte_batch_flags() when no flags
are specified. It's okay to add new users of folio_pte_batch_flags(), but
using folio_pte_batch() if applicable is preferred.
So, before this change, folio_pte_batch() was inlined into the C file
optimized by propagating constants within the resulting object file.
With this change, we now also have a folio_pte_batch() that is optimized
by propagating all constants. But instead of having one instance per
object file, we have a single shared one.
In zap_present_ptes(), where we care about performance, the compiler
already seem to generate a call to a common inlined folio_pte_batch()
variant, shared with fork() code. So calling the new non-inlined variant
should not make a difference.
While at it, drop the "addr" parameter that is unused.

Patch series "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements", v2.
Ever since we added folio_pte_batch() for fork() + munmap() purposes, a
lot more users appeared (and more are being proposed), and more
functionality was added.
Most of the users only need basic functionality, and could benefit from a
non-inlined version.
So let's clean up folio_pte_batch() and split it into a basic
folio_pte_batch() (no flags) and a more advanced folio_pte_batch_ext().
Using either variant will now look much cleaner.
This series will likely conflict with some changes in some (old+new)
folio_pte_batch() users, but conflicts should be trivial to resolve.
This patch (of 4):
Respecting these PTE bits is the exception, so let's invert the meaning.
With this change, most callers don't have to pass any flags. This is a
preparation for splitting folio_pte_batch() into a non-inlined variant
that doesn't consume any flags.
Long-term, we want folio_pte_batch() to probably ignore most common PTE
bits (e.g., write/dirty/young/soft-dirty) that are not relevant for most
page table walkers: uffd-wp and protnone might be bits to consider in the
future. Only walkers that care about them can opt-in to respect them.
No functional change intended.

On machines with multiple memory nodes, interleaving page allocations
across nodes allows for better utilization of each node's bandwidth.
Previous work by Gregory Price [1] introduced weighted interleave, which
allowed for pages to be allocated across nodes according to user-set
ratios.
Ideally, these weights should be proportional to their bandwidth, so that
under bandwidth pressure, each node uses its maximal efficient bandwidth
and prevents latency from increasing exponentially.
Previously, weighted interleave's default weights were just 1s -- which
would be equivalent to the (unweighted) interleave mempolicy, which goes
through the nodes in a round-robin fashion, ignoring bandwidth
information.
This patch has two main goals: First, it makes weighted interleave easier
to use for users who wish to relieve bandwidth pressure when using nodes
with varying bandwidth (CXL). By providing a set of "real" default
weights that just work out of the box, users who might not have the
capability (or wish to) perform experimentation to find the most optimal
weights for their system can still take advantage of bandwidth-informed
weighted interleave.
Second, it allows for weighted interleave to dynamically adjust to
hotplugged memory with new bandwidth information. Instead of manually
updating node weights every time new bandwidth information is reported or
taken off, weighted interleave adjusts and provides a new set of default
weights for weighted interleave to use when there is a change in bandwidth
information.
To meet these goals, this patch introduces an auto-configuration mode for
the interleave weights that provides a reasonable set of default weights,
calculated using bandwidth data reported by the system. In auto mode,
weights are dynamically adjusted based on whatever the current bandwidth
information reports (and responds to hotplug events).
This patch still supports users manually writing weights into the nodeN
sysfs interface by entering into manual mode. When a user enters manual
mode, the system stops dynamically updating any of the node weights, even
during hotplug events that shift the optimal weight distribution.
A new sysfs interface "auto" is introduced, which allows users to switch
between the auto (writing 1 or Y) and manual (writing 0 or N) modes. The
system also automatically enters manual mode when a nodeN interface is
manually written to.
There is one functional change that this patch makes to the existing
weighted_interleave ABI: previously, writing 0 directly to a nodeN
interface was said to reset the weight to the system default. Before this
patch, the default for all weights were 1, which meant that writing 0 and
1 were functionally equivalent. With this patch, writing 0 is invalid.

The weighted interleave policy distributes page allocations across
multiple NUMA nodes based on their performance weight, thereby improving
memory bandwidth utilization. The weight values for each node are
configured through sysfs.
Previously, sysfs entries for configuring weighted interleave were created
for all possible nodes (N_POSSIBLE) at initialization, including nodes
that might not have memory. However, not all nodes in N_POSSIBLE are
usable at runtime, as some may remain memoryless or offline. This led to
sysfs entries being created for unusable nodes, causing potential
misconfiguration issues.
To address this issue, this patch modifies the sysfs creation logic to:
1) Limit sysfs entries to nodes that are online and have memory, avoiding
the creation of sysfs entries for nodes that cannot be used.
2) Support memory hotplug by dynamically adding and removing sysfs entries
based on whether a node transitions into or out of the N_MEMORY state.
Additionally, the patch ensures that sysfs attributes are properly managed
when nodes go offline, preventing stale or redundant entries from
persisting in the system.
By making these changes, the weighted interleave policy now manages its
sysfs entries more efficiently, ensuring that only relevant nodes are
considered for interleaving, and dynamically adapting to memory hotplug
events.

Previously, the weighted interleave sysfs structure was statically managed
during initialization. This prevented new nodes from being recognized
when memory hotplug events occurred, limiting the ability to update or
extend sysfs entries dynamically at runtime.
To address this, this patch refactors the sysfs infrastructure and
encapsulates it within a new structure, `sysfs_wi_group`, which holds both
the kobject and an array of node attribute pointers.
By allocating this group structure globally, the per-node sysfs attributes
can be managed beyond initialization time, enabling external modules to
insert or remove node entries in response to events such as memory hotplug
or node online/offline transitions.
Instead of allocating all per-node sysfs attributes at once, the
initialization path now uses the existing sysfs_wi_node_add() and
sysfs_wi_node_delete() helpers. This refactoring makes it possible to
modularly manage per-node sysfs entries and ensures the infrastructure is
ready for runtime extension.

Patch series "Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted
interleave", v9.
The following patch series enhances the weighted interleave policy in the
memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support.
This patch (of 3):
Memory leaks occurred when removing sysfs attributes for weighted
interleave. Improper kobject deallocation led to unreleased memory when
initialization failed or when nodes were removed.
The risk of leak is low because it only appears to trigger if setup
fails. Setup only fails due to -ENOMEM which is unlikely to happen
from a late_initcall() when memory pressure is low.
This patch resolves the issue by replacing unnecessary `kfree()` calls
with proper `kobject_del()` and `kobject_put()` sequences, ensuring
correct teardown and preventing memory leaks.
By explicitly calling `kobject_del()` before `kobject_put()`, the release
function is now invoked safely, and internal sysfs state is correctly
cleaned up. This guarantees that the memory associated with the kobject
is fully released and avoids resource leaks, thereby improving system
stability.
Additionally, sysfs_remove_file() is no longer called from the release
function to avoid accessing invalid sysfs state after kobject_del(). All
attribute removals are now done before kobject_del(), preventing WARN_ON()
in kernfs and ensuring safe and consistent cleanup of sysfs entries.

After the check for queue_folio_required(), the code only cares about the
folio in the for loop, i.e the PTEs are redundant. Therefore, optimize
this loop by skipping over a PTE batch mapping the same folio.
With a test program migrating pages of the calling process, which includes
a mapped VMA of size 4GB with pte-mapped large folios of order-9, and
migrating once back and forth node-0 and node-1, the average execution
time reduces from 7.5 to 4 seconds, giving an approx 47% speedup.

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.

Let's reuse our new MM ownership tracking infrastructure for large folios
to make folio_likely_mapped_shared() never return false negatives -- never
indicating "not mapped shared" although the folio *is* mapped shared.
With that, we can rename it to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() and get rid of
the dependency on the mapcount of the first folio page.
The semantics are now arguably clearer: no mixture of "false negatives"
and "false positives", only the remaining possibility for "false
positives".
Thoroughly document the new semantics. We might now detect that a large
folio is "maybe mapped shared" although it *no longer* is -- but once was.
Now, if more than two MMs mapped a folio at the same time, and the MM
mapping the folio exclusively at the end is not one tracked in the two
folio MM slots, we will detect the folio as "maybe mapped shared".
For anonymous folios, usually (except weird corner cases) all PTEs that
target a "maybe mapped shared" folio are R/O. As soon as a child process
would write to them (iow, actively use them), we would CoW and effectively
replace these PTEs. Most cases (below) are not expected to really matter
with large anonymous folios for this reason.
Most importantly, there will be no change at all for:
* small folios
* hugetlb folios
* PMD-mapped PMD-sized THPs (single mapping)
This change has the potential to affect existing callers of
folio_likely_mapped_shared() -> folio_maybe_mapped_shared():
(1) fs/proc/task_mmu.c: no change (hugetlb)
(2) khugepaged counts PTEs that target shared folios towards
max_ptes_shared (default: HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2), meaning we could skip a
collapse where we would have previously collapsed. This only applies
to anonymous folios and is not expected to matter in practice.
Worth noting that this change sorts out case (A) documented in
commit 1bafe96e89 ("mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by
folio_likely_mapped_shared()") by removing the possibility for "false
negatives".
(3) MADV_COLD / MADV_PAGEOUT / MADV_FREE will not try splitting
PTE-mapped THPs that are considered shared but not fully covered by
the requested range, consequently not processing them.
PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP are not affected, or when all PTEs are
covered. These functions are usually only called on anon/file folios
that are exclusively mapped most of the time (no other file mappings
or no fork()), so the "false negatives" are not expected to matter in
practice.
(4) mbind() / migrate_pages() / move_pages() will refuse to migrate
shared folios unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is effective (requires
CAP_SYS_NICE). We will now reject some folios that could be migrated.
Similar to (3), especially with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, so this is not
expected to matter in practice.
Note that cpuset_migrate_mm_workfn() calls do_migrate_pages() with
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL.
(5) NUMA hinting
mm/migrate.c:migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() will skip file
folios that are probably shared libraries (-> "mapped shared" and
executable). This check would have detected it as a shared library at
some point (at least 3 MMs mapping it), so detecting it afterwards
does not sound wrong (still a shared library). Not expected to
matter.
mm/memory.c:numa_migrate_check() will indicate TNF_SHARED in
MAP_SHARED file mappings when encountering a shared folio. Similar
reasoning, not expected to matter.
mm/mprotect.c:change_pte_range() will skip folios detected as
shared in CoW mappings. Similarly, this is not expected to matter in
practice, but if it would ever be a problem we could relax that check
a bit (e.g., basing it on the average page-mapcount in a folio),
because it was only an optimization when many (e.g., 288) processes
were mapping the same folios -- see commit 859d4adc34 ("mm: numa: do
not trap faults on shared data section pages.")
(6) mm/rmap.c:folio_referenced_one() will skip exclusive swapbacked
folios in dying processes. Applies to anonymous folios only. Without
"false negatives", we'll now skip all actually shared ones. Skipping
ones that are actually exclusive won't really matter, it's a pure
optimization, and is not expected to matter in practice.
In theory, one can detect the problematic scenario: folio_mapcount() > 0
and no folio MM slot is occupied ("state unknown"). One could reset the
MM slots while doing an rmap walk, which migration / folio split already
do when setting everything up. Further, when batching PTEs we might
naturally learn about a owner (e.g., folio_mapcount() == nr_ptes) and
could update the owner. However, we'll defer that until the scenarios
where it would really matter are clear.

Patch series "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor", v2.
Today, alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() supports two arguments to return
allocated pages: a linked list and an array. There are also higher level
APIs for both.
However, the linked list API has apparently never been used. So, this
series removes it along with the list API and also refactors the remaining
API naming for consistency.
This patch (of 2):
commit 387ba26fb1 ("mm/page_alloc: add a bulk page allocator") added
__alloc_pages_bulk() along with the page_list argument. The next commit
0f87d9d30f ("mm/page_alloc: add an array-based interface to the bulk
page allocator") added the array-based argument. As it turns out, the
page_list argument has no users in the current tree (if it ever had any).
Dropping it allows for a slight simplification and eliminates some
unnecessary checks, now that page_array is required.
Also, note that the removal of the page_list argument was proposed before
in the thread below, where Matthew Wilcox mentions that:
"""
Iterating a linked list is _expensive_. It is about 10x quicker to
iterate an array than a linked list.
"""

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the
kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning
containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory.
Different containers in the system may experience drastically different
memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global
counters alone.
For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory
accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially
depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that
its performance degrades unacceptably.
For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between
data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated.
In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal
can easily be lost if only global counters are available.
In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and
demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering.
This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup:
numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd,
pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_*
and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat.
count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at
once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a
reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track
numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to
shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

Merge tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.
First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
doesn't count as being mlocked.
Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
generic manner and hooked into random.c.
Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)
Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.
There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"
* tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
MAINTAINERS: add random.h headers to RNG subsection
random: note that RNDGETPOOL was removed in 2.6.9-rc2
selftests/vDSO: add tests for vgetrandom
x86: vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation
random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation
mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:
a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
and no signal is sent.
This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:
VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE
And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.
In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.
Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.
Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

Since balancing mode was added in bda420b985 ("numa balancing: migrate
on fault among multiple bound nodes"), it was possible to set this mode
but it wouldn't be shown in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps since there was no
support for it in the mpol_to_str() helper.
Furthermore, because the balancing mode sets the MPOL_F_MORON flag, it
would be displayed as 'default' due a workaround introduced a few years
earlier in 8790c71a18 ("mm/mempolicy.c: fix mempolicy printing in
numa_maps").
To tidy this up we implement two changes:
Replace the MPOL_F_MORON check by pointer comparison against the
preferred_node_policy array. By doing this we generalise the current
special casing and replace the incorrect 'default' with the correct 'bind'
for the mode.
Secondly, we add a string representation and corresponding handling for
the MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag.
With the two changes together we start showing the balancing flag when it
is set and therefore complete the fix.
Representation format chosen is to separate multiple flags with vertical
bars, following what existed long time ago in kernel 2.6.25. But as
between then and now there wasn't a way to display multiple flags, this
patch does not change the format in practice.
Some /proc/<pid>/numa_maps output examples:

a PTE entry or a PMD entry. This cannot be known with the PMD entry
itself because there is no easy way to know it from the content of the

So huge_ptep_get() will need to know either the size of the page or get

In order to be consistent with huge_ptep_get_and_clear(), give mm and

Callers of folio_estimated_sharers() only care about "mapped shared vs.
mapped exclusively", not the exact estimate of sharers. Let's consolidate
and unify the condition users are checking. While at it clarify the
semantics and extend the discussion on the fuzziness.
Use the "likely mapped shared" terminology to better express what the
(adjusted) function actually checks.
Whether a partially-mappable folio is more likely to not be partially
mapped than partially mapped is debatable. In the future, we might be
able to improve our estimate for partially-mappable folios, though.
Note that we will now consistently detect "mapped shared" only if the
first subpage is actually mapped multiple times. When the first subpage
is not mapped, we will consistently detect it as "mapped exclusively".
This change should currently only affect the usage in
madvise_free_pte_range() and queue_folios_pte_range() for large folios: if
the first page was already unmapped, we would have skipped the folio.

As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handing hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.
To make hugetlb migration strategy more clear, we should list all the scenarios
of hugetlb migration and analyze whether allocation fallback is permitted:
1) Memory offline: will call dissolve_free_huge_pages() to free the
freed hugetlb, and call do_migrate_range() to migrate the in-use
hugetlb. Both can break the per-node hugetlb pool, but as this is an
explicit offlining operation, no better choice. So should allow the
hugetlb allocation fallback.
2) Memory failure: same as memory offline. Should allow fallback to a
different node might be the only option to handle it, otherwise the
impact of poisoned memory can be amplified.
3) Longterm pinning: will call migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() to
migrate in-use and not-longterm-pinnable hugetlb, which can break the
per-node pool. But we should fail to longterm pinning if can not
allocate on current node to avoid breaking the per-node pool.
4) Syscalls (mbind, migrate_pages, move_pages): these are explicit
users operation to move pages to other nodes, so fallback to other
nodes should not be prohibited.
5) alloc_contig_range: used by CMA allocation and virtio-mem
fake-offline to allocate given range of pages. Now the freed hugetlb
migration is not allowed to fallback, to keep consistency, the in-use
hugetlb migration should be also not allowed to fallback.
6) alloc_contig_pages: used by kfence, pgtable_debug etc. The strategy
should be consistent with that of alloc_contig_range().
Based on the analysis of the various scenarios above, introducing a new
helper to determine whether fallback is permitted according to the
migration reason..
