git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd file-backed memory. Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance improvements. - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU" (Baolin Wang) Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped executable file folios after their first usage to give executable code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload performance. - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong Chen) Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration. - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif) Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired producer updates. Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over 60% without impacting scan throughput. - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky) Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review. - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's memcg" (Zi Yan) Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray node memory accounting. - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick) Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests. - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function. - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin Huang) Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to reinitialization. - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia) Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in writeback_store() and read_block_state(). - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang) Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged. - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions" (Muhammad Usama Anjum) Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding retry logic for transient page migration errors. - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia) Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved writeback efficiency. - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren Baghdasaryan) Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter aggregation. This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation data to userspace. - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5" (Christoph Hellwig) Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving faster swap throughput during kernel builds. - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks" (Catalin Marinas) Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter. - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels" (Breno Leitao) Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second confirming scan. - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig) Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly export their own swap_ops. - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache) khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal documentation. - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett) Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity. Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-26-15-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (172 commits) selftests/proc: make proc-maps-race work with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC memcg: move LRU size accounting on reparenting instead of copying it mm/vmscan: fix comment logic in balance_pgdat maple_tree: add helper mas_make_walkable() maple_tree: avoid extra gap calculation maple_tree: fix argument name in header maple_tree: change two GFP flags in tests maple_tree: document erase and allocations better maple_tree: avoid mas_erase() and mtree_erase() failures maple_tree: document that erase may use GFP_KERNEL for allocations maple_tree: catch race in mas_alloc_cyclic() maple_tree: add bulk parent set helper maple_tree: micro optimisation of mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: optimise mas_wr_node_store() when not in rcu mode maple_tree: use prefetched value in mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: clarify comments on mas_nomem() maple_tree: drop MAPLE_ALLOC_SLOTS maple_tree: drop dead code from mas_extend_spanning_null() maple_tree: documentation fix maple_tree: add write lock checking with lockdep sequence numbers ...
2026-08-24mm/memcontrol: avoid false sharing between vmstats and eventsUsama Arif1-2/+7
Moving v1 userspace eventfd handling into memcontrol-v1.c shrank struct vmpressure from 112 to 24 bytes when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is disabled. This moved memory_events_local[MEMCG_SWAP_FAIL] and the hot vmstats_percpu pointer onto the same cacheline. The stress-ng mremap stressor exercises MADV_PAGEOUT with swap disabled, generating about 20 million MEMCG_SWAP_FAIL updates per 60-second run on a 176-CPU test system. Those writes bounce the line while memcg statistics paths load vmstats_percpu. Move cgwb_list into the existing alignment gap and cacheline-align vmstats_percpu. This separates the pointer from the event counters without increasing the size of struct mem_cgroup in the tested configuration. The blamed commit reduced median mremap throughput by 4.38% on the test system with one socket. The patched kernel brings the performance to within 0.5% of the parent which is within the observed boot-to-boot spread (up to 1.2%).

2026-08-24mm/vmstat, mm/memcontrol: add _monotonic vmstat readersUsama Arif1-0/+8
Patch series "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived scan-balance cost", v5. The anon/file scan balance heuristic in get_scan_count() is fed by two scalars in struct lruvec (anon_cost, file_cost) that every reclaim producer updates under lruvec->lru_lock. The cost-recording work itself is trivial, but it both contends for and contributes to contention on lru_lock - which is often a contention point on memory-pressured workloads. Specifically: - shrink_inactive_list() re-acquires lru_lock at function exit just to call lru_note_cost_unlock_irq(). - shrink_active_list() does the same after rotation accounting. - workingset_refault() takes folio_lruvec_lock_irq() purely to record the refault cost. - prepare_scan_control() snapshots anon_cost/file_cost under lru_lock. - lru_note_cost_unlock_irq() itself walks parent_lruvec() and re-acquires lru_lock on every ancestor, multiplying the cost of every update by memcg-hierarchy depth. This series removes those producer-side acquisitions entirely. The rotation inputs become per-LRU PGROTATE_{ANON,FILE} vmstat counters. NR_VMSCAN_WRITE already captures reclaim-driven pageout at writeout(); charge it through lruvec_stat_mod_folio() so it is available per lruvec and aggregated through the memcg hierarchy. Reclaim does not submit filesystem folios for writeback from this path, so pageout contributes only to anon cost. WORKINGSET_RESTORE_* already captures the refault input. PGROTATE_* are also useful independently of scan balancing. They are cumulative base-page events, not unique-page counts. Classic inactive reclaim records scan work that does not produce immediate reclaim or demotion, while active reclaim records referenced executable file folios retained on the active list. MGLRU records initially isolated pages that remain unreclaimed after its retry passes. Read alongside pgscan_* and pgsteal_*, their deltas identify which LRU type is consuming reclaim CPU without producing immediate yield. Unlike the existing pgrotated event, they do not imply a move to the inactive-list tail. prepare_scan_control() reads the raw cost signals without lru_lock: anon = PGROTATE_ANON + (NR_VMSCAN_WRITE + WORKINGSET_RESTORE_ANON) * SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX file = PGROTATE_FILE + WORKINGSET_RESTORE_FILE * SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX It folds the deltas into a per-lruvec accumulator. A dedicated per-lruvec cost_lock, not touched by isolate_lru_folios(), move_folios_to_lru(), or folio_add_lru(), serialises the accumulator RMW and the lrusize/4 halving check. Hierarchy aggregation is implicit in rstat propagation, so the parent_lruvec() walk and the lru_reparent_memcg() cost-splice both disappear. Moving accumulation and decay to the reclaim side also improves the cost model across reclaim gaps. With producer-side decay, events that happen while reclaim is idle still age each other before reclaim ever samples the costs. If a workload refaults a large anon set and then a smaller file set before reclaim runs again, the later file activity can age the earlier anon activity out of the cost model. The new scheme observes the whole between-reclaim delta and decays anon and file proportionally, so the scan-balance history better represents what happened since the last reclaim pass. Trade-offs: - Cost reads see rstat-aggregated values that can lag until periodic / reader-triggered flushing. - Per-lruvec footprint grows by 4 unsigned longs + a spinlock (a struct lru_cost { count, last_rotated, last_io } per side), which is a small cost. - NR_VMSCAN_WRITE now also updates the folio's lruvec/memcg stat, adding memcg stat accounting to the reclaim writeout path while preserving the existing node-level total. == Numbers == Tested on a 176-core, 256 GB host. The benchmark drives sustained swap-out/refault inside a tight memcg using vm-scalability/usemem: usemem -n 16 --prealloc --prefault --random $((256*1024*1024)) run inside a two-level memcg with memory.max=512M on the leaf (4 GB anon working set has to fit in 512 MB -> continuous shrink_inactive_list + workingset_refault). A 16 GB swap file is used. Measurement is a 30 s `perf lock record -a` window over otherwise-idle hardware. Workload rates are identical on both kernels (the bench drives the same memory pressure): baseline patched delta pgscan_direct / s 172,662 171,817 ~0% pgsteal_direct / s 67,162 66,306 ~0% workingset_refault_anon / s 40,696 39,830 ~0% perf lock contention (total wait per 30 s window): Lock Name Before After % change shrink_lruvec+0x770 722.84 ms 0 -100% (eliminated) (= lru_note_cost_unlock_irq) workingset_refault+0x167 385.26 ms 0 -100% (eliminated) (= lru_note_cost_refault) shrink_node+0x4ad 689.43 ms 26.95 ms -96% shrink_active_list 208.34 ms 15.97 ms -92% lru_add_drain_cpu+0x34 1.96 s 917.71 ms -53% Total LRU lock wait ~4.23 s ~1.66 s -61% The two specific contention sites the patch removes (shrink_lruvec+0x770 = lru_note_cost_unlock_irq; workingset_refault+0x167 = lru_note_cost_refault) are completely absent from the patched perf-lock-contention output. Secondary reductions in shrink_node, shrink_active_list, lru_add_drain_cpu and pgrefill/pgactivate look like knock-on effects from removing the cost-recording overhead and the parent_lruvec walk. The remaining ~1.66 s of LRU lock wait on the patched kernel is dominated by the per-CPU pagevec drain (lru_add_drain_cpu) and the main reclaim path in shrink_lruvec. The numbers above can be reproduced using the script in [1]. This patch (of 3): lruvec_page_state(), node_page_state(), and global_node_page_state() all clamp negative reads to zero on CONFIG_SMP so that a transient per-CPU delta skew presents as zero pages rather than as a garbage unsigned value. This is the right behaviour for non-monotonic page-count readers. It is however incorrect for callers that snapshot a monotonically- incremented event counter and compute a delta from two samples. Once the underlying signed long wraps past LONG_MAX, the clamped read drops to zero while the previously-recorded snapshot still holds the pre-wrap value; the unsigned subtraction then underflows into a ~2^31 spurious delta for 32-bit architecture and corrupts the caller's accumulator. Add non-clamping siblings that return the underlying state value cast to unsigned long: global_node_page_state_monotonic() node_page_state_monotonic() lruvec_page_state_monotonic() With both samples read via the _monotonic variant, unsigned modular subtraction stays correct across a signed-long wraparound as long as the true growth between two samples fits in unsigned long (< 2^32 on 32-bit, < 2^64 on 64-bit); the 32-bit bound is the practically-reachable one that motivates this helper. The variants are only safe for monotonically-incremented counters. Non-monotonic page-count readers must keep using the existing clamped helpers so transient negative reads still present as zero. This is a prerequisite for a later patch which replaces the producer-side anon_cost/file_cost accumulators with a read-side accumulator in prepare_scan_control() that samples monotonic per-LRU vmstat counters (PGROTATE_*, NR_VMSCAN_WRITE, WORKINGSET_RESTORE_*) via lruvec_page_state_monotonic() and folds their unsigned modular deltas into lruvec->cost[].count.

2026-08-24memcg: move mem_cgroup_swappiness and vm_swappiness to mm/swap.hRidong Chen1-2/+2
Patch series "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter", v4. The per-node proactive reclaim interface (/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim) accepts a swappiness parameter, but it is silently ignored when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled. The root cause is that sc_swappiness() has separate implementations for CONFIG_MEMCG and !CONFIG_MEMCG, and the latter never checks proactive_swappiness. Patch 1 moves mem_cgroup_swappiness() and vm_swappiness out of the public include/linux/swap.h into the mm-private mm/swap.h, and makes the helper handle both CONFIG_MEMCG and !CONFIG_MEMCG in a single inline function. This is a prerequisite for unifying sc_swappiness(). Patch 2 consolidates sc_swappiness() into a single definition that works regardless of CONFIG_MEMCG, fixing the node reclaim swappiness bug. This patch (of 2): The per-memcg swappiness knob is v1-only; v2 always uses global vm_swappiness and ignores the per-cgroup field. Both mem_cgroup_swappiness() and vm_swappiness are only used within mm/ (memcontrol.c, memcontrol-v1.c, vmscan.c), so move them out of the public include/linux/swap.h into the mm-private mm/swap.h. This keeps unrelated declarations out of include/linux/swap.h. Guard memcg->swappiness with CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 as well, so v2-only kernels drop the unused field. No functional change for v1; v2-only kernels drop the unused field.

2026-07-23fs: push nr_cached_objects memcg gating into individual filesystemsUsama Arif1-0/+21
Commit 0baad6f9b997 ("fs/super: skip non-memcg-aware nr_cached_objects in memcg slab shrink") added a check in fs/super.c that skipped every ->nr_cached_objects() hook whenever the shrinker was invoked for a non-root memcg, on the assumption that none of them honour sc->memcg. That assumption is wrong for XFS, whose inode-reclaim hook is intentionally driven from per-memcg contexts to free memcg-charged slab. Encoding a blanket "never memcg-aware" policy in fs/super.c short-circuits that path. Push the check down into the callbacks whose counters really are irrelevant to per-memcg reclaim - btrfs_nr_cached_objects() and shmem_unused_huge_count() - and drop the fs/super.c gate. Each filesystem can now lift the restriction independently if its counter later grows memcg awareness, without touching fs/super.c. Introduce mem_cgroup_shrink_is_root() in <linux/memcontrol.h> so the callbacks don't open-code "sc->memcg is NULL or root".

2026-07-20mm: mglru: fix stale batch updates after memcg reparentingQi Zheng1-0/+25
The mglru page table walker batches per-generation size deltas in walk->nr_pages while walking page tables without holding the lruvec lock. The reset_batch_size() later folds those deltas into walk->lruvec under the lruvec lock. The page table walker can run concurrently with the memcg reparenting path as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ==== ==== walk_mm --> walk_page_range --> update_batch_size --> walk->nr_pages += delta mem_cgroup_css_offline --> memcg_reparent_objcgs --> lock lruvec lru_gen_reparent_memcg --> reparent child folios to parent unlock lruvec lock lruvec reset_batch_size --> child lrugen->nr_pages += delta This will trigger the following warning in lru_gen_exit_memcg(): VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(memchr_inv(lruvec->lrugen.nr_pages, 0, sizeof(lruvec->lrugen.nr_pages))); And the user-visible impact of underestimated nr_pages in MGLRU was premature OOMs because MGLRU does not try to reclaim memory when nr_pages reaches zero, but there are still more pages. To fix it, make reset_batch_size() check CSS_DYING under RCU before flushing the pending batch. A non-dying memcg keeps the original lruvec stable against RCU-delayed offlining; a dying memcg redirects the deltas to the first non-dying ancestor.

That means on a cgrouped system, a node-restricted allocation entering reclaim can end up splitting large pages on other nodes: alloc/unmap deferred_split_folio() list_add_tail(memcg->split_queue) set_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id) for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask(restricted_nodes) mem_cgroup_iter() shrink_slab(node, memcg) shrink_slab_memcg(node, memcg) if test_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id) deferred_split_scan() walks memcg->split_queue The shrinker bit adds an imperfect guard rail. As soon as the cgroup has a single large page on the node of interest, all large pages owned by that memcg, including those on other nodes, will be split. list_lru properly sets up per-node, per-cgroup lists. As a bonus, it streamlines a lot of the list operations and reclaim walks. It's used widely by other major shrinkers already. Convert the deferred split queue as well. The list_lru per-memcg heads are instantiated on demand when the first object of interest is allocated for a cgroup, by calling folio_memcg_alloc_deferred(). Add calls to where splittable pages are created: anon faults, swapin faults, khugepaged collapse. These calls create all possible node heads for the cgroup at once, so the migration code (between nodes) doesn't need any special care.

2026-06-02mm/memcg, swap: store cgroup id in cluster table directlyKairui Song1-6/+13
Drop the usage of the swap_cgroup_ctrl, and use the dynamic cluster table instead. The per-cluster memcg table is 1024 / 512 bytes on most archs, and does not need RCU protection: the cgroup data is only read and written under the cluster lock. That keeps things simple, lets the allocation use plain kmalloc with immediate kfree (no deferred free), and keeps fragmentation acceptable.

2026-06-02mm, swap: delay and unify memcg lookup and charging for swapinKairui Song1-3/+3
Instead of checking the cgroup private ID during page table walk in swap_pte_batch(), move the memcg lookup into __swap_cache_add_check() under the cluster lock. The first pre-alloc check is speculative and skips the memcg check since the post-alloc stable check ensures all slots covered by the folio belong to the same memcg. It is very rare for contiguous and aligned entries across a contiguous region of a page table of the same process or shmem mapping to belong to different memcgs. This also prepares for recording the memcg info in the cluster's table. Also make the order check and fallback more compact. There should be no user-observable behavior change.

The cgroup v1 swap helpers always operate on swap cache folios whose swap entry is stable: the folio is locked and in the swap cache. There is no need to pass the swap entry or page count as separate parameters when they can be derived from the folio itself. Simplify the redundant parameters and add sanity checks to document the required preconditions. Also rename memcg1_swapout to __memcg1_swapout to indicate it requires special calling context: the folio must be isolated and dying, and the call must be made with interrupts disabled.

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: prepare for reparenting LRU pages for lruvec lockMuchun Song1-17/+17
The following diagram illustrates how to ensure the safety of the folio lruvec lock when LRU folios undergo reparenting. In the folio_lruvec_lock(folio) function: rcu_read_lock(); retry: lruvec = folio_lruvec(folio); /* There is a possibility of folio reparenting at this point. */ spin_lock(&lruvec->lru_lock); if (unlikely(lruvec_memcg(lruvec) != folio_memcg(folio))) { /* * The wrong lruvec lock was acquired, and a retry is required. * This is because the folio resides on the parent memcg lruvec * list. */ spin_unlock(&lruvec->lru_lock); goto retry; } /* Reaching here indicates that folio_memcg() is stable. */ In the memcg_reparent_objcgs(memcg) function: spin_lock(&lruvec->lru_lock); spin_lock(&lruvec_parent->lru_lock); /* Transfer folios from the lruvec list to the parent's. */ spin_unlock(&lruvec_parent->lru_lock); spin_unlock(&lruvec->lru_lock); After acquiring the lruvec lock, it is necessary to verify whether the folio has been reparented. If reparenting has occurred, the new lruvec lock must be reacquired. During the LRU folio reparenting process, the lruvec lock will also be acquired (this will be implemented in a subsequent patch). Therefore, folio_memcg() remains unchanged while the lruvec lock is held. Given that lruvec_memcg(lruvec) is always equal to folio_memcg(folio) after the lruvec lock is acquired, the lruvec_memcg_debug() check is redundant. Hence, it is removed. This patch serves as a preparation for the reparenting of LRU folios.

2026-04-18mm: memcontrol: return root object cgroup for root memory cgroupMuchun Song1-6/+20
Memory cgroup functions such as get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() and get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() return a valid memory cgroup pointer, even for the root memory cgroup. In contrast, the situation for object cgroups has been different. Previously, the root object cgroup couldn't be returned because it didn't exist. Now that a valid root object cgroup exists, for the sake of consistency, it's necessary to align the behavior of object-cgroup-related operations with that of memory cgroup APIs.

It is inappropriate to use folio_lruvec_lock() variants in conjunction with unlock_page_lruvec() variants, as this involves the inconsistent operation of locking a folio while unlocking a page. To rectify this, the functions unlock_page_lruvec{_irq, _irqrestore} are renamed to lruvec_unlock{_irq,_irqrestore}.

2026-04-05mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pagesJiayuan Chen1-0/+1
Patch series "mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages", v3. In containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing incompressible pages to zswap is essential for effective resource management. This series adds a new per-memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages, along with a selftest. This patch (of 2): The global zswap_stored_incompressible_pages counter was added in commit dca4437a5861 ("mm/zswap: store <PAGE_SIZE compression failed page as-is") to track how many pages are stored in raw (uncompressed) form in zswap. However, in containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing incompressible pages is essential for effective resource management [1]. Add a new memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages per cgroup. This helps administrators and orchestrators to: 1. Identify workloads that produce incompressible data (e.g., encrypted data, already-compressed media, random data) and may not benefit from zswap. 2. Make informed decisions about workload placement - moving incompressible workloads to nodes with larger swap backing devices rather than relying on zswap. 3. Debug zswap efficiency issues at the cgroup level without needing to correlate global stats with individual cgroups. While the compression ratio can be estimated from existing stats (zswap / zswapped * PAGE_SIZE), this doesn't distinguish between "uniformly poor compression" and "a few completely incompressible pages mixed with highly compressible ones". The zswap_incomp stat provides direct visibility into the latter case.

2026-02-12mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotionBing Jiao1-3/+3
Patch series "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion", v9. This patch series addresses two issues in demote_folio_list(), can_demote(), and next_demotion_node() in reclaim/demotion. 1. demote_folio_list() and can_demote() do not correctly check demotion target against cpuset.mems_effective, which will cause (a) pages to be demoted to not-allowed nodes and (b) pages fail demotion even if the system still has allowed demotion nodes. Patch 1 fixes this bug by updating cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. 2. next_demotion_node() returns a preferred demotion target, but it does not check the node against allowed nodes. Patch 2 ensures that next_demotion_node() filters against the allowed node mask and selects the closest demotion target to the source node. This patch (of 2): Fix two bugs in demote_folio_list() and can_demote() due to incorrect demotion target checks against cpuset.mems_effective in reclaim/demotion. Commit 7d709f49babc ("vmscan,cgroup: apply mems_effective to reclaim") introduces the cpuset.mems_effective check and applies it to can_demote(). However: 1. It does not apply this check in demote_folio_list(), which leads to situations where pages are demoted to nodes that are explicitly excluded from the task's cpuset.mems. 2. It checks only the nodes in the immediate next demotion hierarchy and does not check all allowed demotion targets in can_demote(). This can cause pages to never be demoted if the nodes in the next demotion hierarchy are not set in mems_effective. These bugs break resource isolation provided by cpuset.mems. This is visible from userspace because pages can either fail to be demoted entirely or are demoted to nodes that are not allowed in multi-tier memory systems. To address these bugs, update cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. Also update can_demote() and demote_folio_list() accordingly. Bug 1 reproduction: Assume a system with 4 nodes, where nodes 0-1 are top-tier and nodes 2-3 are far-tier memory.

OBJEXTS_NOSPIN_ALLOC was used to remember whether a slabobj_ext vector was allocated via kmalloc_nolock(), so that free_slab_obj_exts() could call kfree_nolock() instead of kfree(). Now that kfree() supports freeing kmalloc_nolock() objects, this flag is no longer needed. Instead, pass the allow_spin parameter down to free_slab_obj_exts() to determine whether kfree_nolock() or kfree() should be called in the free path, and free one bit in enum objext_flags.

The HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask is now modifiable at runtime. In order to synchronize against memcg workqueue to make sure that no asynchronous draining is still pending or executing on a newly made isolated CPU, the housekeeping susbsystem must flush the memcg workqueues. However the memcg workqueues can't be flushed easily since they are queued to the main per-CPU workqueue pool. Solve this with creating a memcg specific pool and provide and use the appropriate flushing API.

2026-01-26memcg: use cgroup_id() instead of cgroup_ino() for memcg IDShakeel Butt1-5/+5
Switch mem_cgroup_ino() from using cgroup_ino() to cgroup_id(). The cgroup_ino() returns the kernfs inode number while cgroup_id() returns the kernfs node ID. For 64-bit systems, they are the same. Also cgroup_get_from_id() expects 64-bit node ID which is called by mem_cgroup_get_from_ino(). Change the type from unsigned long to u64 to match cgroup_id()'s return type, and update the format specifiers accordingly. Note that the names mem_cgroup_ino() and mem_cgroup_get_from_ino() are now misnomers since they deal with cgroup IDs rather than inode numbers. A follow-up patch will rename them.

2026-01-26memcg: introduce private id API for in-kernel usersShakeel Butt1-3/+21
Patch series "memcg: separate private and public ID namespaces". The memory cgroup subsystem maintains a private ID infrastructure that is decoupled from the cgroup IDs. This private ID system exists because some kernel objects (like swap entries and shadow entries in the workingset code) can outlive the cgroup they were associated with. The motivation is best described in commit 73f576c04b941 ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs"). Unfortunately, some in-kernel users (DAMON, LRU gen debugfs interface, shrinker debugfs) started exposing these private IDs to userspace. This is problematic because: 1. The private IDs are internal implementation details that could change 2. Userspace already has access to cgroup IDs through the cgroup filesystem 3. Using different ID namespaces in different interfaces is confusing This series cleans up the memcg ID infrastructure by: 1. Explicitly marking the private ID APIs with "private" in their names to make it clear they are for internal use only (swap/workingset) 2. Making the public cgroup ID APIs (mem_cgroup_id/mem_cgroup_get_from_id) unconditionally available 3. Converting DAMON, LRU gen, and shrinker debugfs interfaces to use the public cgroup IDs instead of the private IDs 4. Removing the now-unused wrapper functions and renaming the public APIs for clarity After this series: - mem_cgroup_private_id() / mem_cgroup_from_private_id() are used for internal kernel objects that outlive their cgroup (swap, workingset) - mem_cgroup_id() / mem_cgroup_get_from_id() return the public cgroup ID (from cgroup_id()) for use in userspace-facing interfaces This patch (of 8): The memory cgroup maintains a private ID infrastructure decoupled from the cgroup IDs for swapout records and shadow entries. The main motivation of this private ID infra is best described in the commit 73f576c04b941 ("mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs"). Unfortunately some users have started exposing these private IDs to the userspace where they should have used the cgroup IDs which are already exposed to the userspace. Let's rename the memcg ID APIs to explicitly mark them private. No functional change is intended.

2025-12-22mm: introduce BPF kfuncs to access memcg statistics and eventsRoman Gushchin1-0/+14
Introduce BPF kfuncs to conveniently access memcg data: - bpf_mem_cgroup_vm_events(), - bpf_mem_cgroup_memory_events(), - bpf_mem_cgroup_usage(), - bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state(), - bpf_mem_cgroup_flush_stats(). These functions are useful for implementing BPF OOM policies, but also can be used to accelerate access to the memcg data. Reading it through cgroupfs is much more expensive, roughly 5x, mostly because of the need to convert the data into the text and back. JP Kobryn: An experiment was setup to compare the performance of a program that uses the traditional method of reading memory.stat vs a program using the new kfuncs. The control program opens up the root memory.stat file and for 1M iterations reads, converts the string values to numeric data, then seeks back to the beginning. The experimental program sets up the requisite libbpf objects and for 1M iterations invokes a bpf program which uses the kfuncs to fetch all available stats for node_stat_item, memcg_stat_item, and vm_event_item types. The results showed a significant perf benefit on the experimental side, outperforming the control side by a margin of 93%. In kernel mode, elapsed time was reduced by 80%, while in user mode, over 99% of time was saved. control: elapsed time real 0m38.318s user 0m25.131s sys 0m13.070s experiment: elapsed time real 0m2.789s user 0m0.187s sys 0m2.512s control: perf data 33.43% a.out libc.so.6 [.] __vfscanf_internal 6.88% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] vsnprintf 6.33% a.out libc.so.6 [.] _IO_fgets 5.51% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] format_decode 4.31% a.out libc.so.6 [.] __GI_____strtoull_l_internal 3.78% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] string 3.53% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] number 2.71% a.out libc.so.6 [.] _IO_sputbackc 2.41% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] strlen 1.98% a.out a.out [.] main 1.70% a.out libc.so.6 [.] _IO_getline_info 1.51% a.out libc.so.6 [.] __isoc99_sscanf 1.47% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memory_stat_format 1.47% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memcpy_orig 1.41% a.out [kernel.kallsyms] [k] seq_buf_printf experiment: perf data 10.55% memcgstat bpf_prog_..._query [k] bpf_prog_16aab2f19fa982a7_query 6.90% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memcg_page_state_output 3.55% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock 3.12% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memcg_events 2.87% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook 2.73% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_free 2.70% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] entry_SYSRETQ_unsafe_stack 2.25% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __memcg_slab_free_hook 2.06% memcgstat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_page_from_freelist Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Co-developed-by: JP Kobryn <inwardvessel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: JP Kobryn <inwardvessel@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251223044156.208250-5-roman.gushchin@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

2025-11-24mm: thp: introduce folio_split_queue_lock and its variantsMuchun Song1-0/+10
In future memcg removal, the binding between a folio and a memcg may change, making the split lock within the memcg unstable when held. A new approach is required to reparent the split queue to its parent. This patch starts introducing a unified way to acquire the split lock for future work. It's a code-only refactoring with no functional changes.

2025-11-20mm: memcg: dump memcg protection info on oom or alloc failuresShakeel Butt1-0/+5
Currently kernel dumps memory state on oom and allocation failures. One of the question usually raised on those dumps is why the kernel has not reclaimed the reclaimable memory instead of triggering oom. One potential reason is the usage of memory protection provided by memcg. So, let's also dump the memory protected by the memcg in such reports to ease the debugging.

2025-11-16memcg: manually uninline __memcg_memory_eventShakeel Butt1-30/+2
__memcg_memory_event() has been unnecessarily marked inline even when it is not really performance critical. It is usually called to track extreme conditions. Over the time, it has evolved to include more functionality and inlining it is causing more harm.
