2026-08-24mm: introduce linear_anon_page_index()Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)1-1/+1
This function provides the anonymous equivalent of linear_page_index(), instead offsetting based on the anonymous page offset of the VMA. It is valid only for anonymous or MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings, in other words CoW mappings. For pure anon VMAs, this will be equal to linear_page_index(). Assert that both of these invariants are true in linear_anon_page_index() and implement the algorithm in __linear_anon_page_index(). Note that MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero mappings will satisfy vma_is_anonymous() but not fulfill this invariant, so when asserting this we check vma->vm_file to account for this. We do not update callsites yet, so no functional change intended. Also const-ify vma_is_anonymous() to make it compatible with the const-ified linear_anon_page_index(). While we're here, update linear_page_index() to be more succinct. VMA userland tests are also updated accordingly.

2026-08-24mm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)1-6/+65
All remaining callers of is_cow_mapping() are invoking it in the form of is_cow_mapping(vma->vm_flags) or an indirected version of this. Therefore, provide a helper - vma_is_cow_mapping() to directly test the VMA. Additionally provide a new helper vma_flags_is_cow_mapping() which performs the check using the new vma_flags_t type, and share this logic between vma_is_cow_mapping() and vma_desc_is_cow_mapping(). With these changes, no callers of is_cow_mapping() remain, so remove it. Also update the userland VMA tests to reflect the change. No functional change intended.

2026-08-24mm/vma: introduce VMA anon page offset field and add helpersLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)1-0/+59
Patch series "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff", v5. In memory management we've managed to manufacture a great deal of confusion around the concept of anonymous memory. We have: 1. 'Pure anon' memory - anonymous VMAs whose folios are anonymous and swap-backed (thus for reclaim purposes, treated as anonymous). These are simple enough. 2. shmem - file-backed VMAs, file-backed folios (from rmap perspective) so present in the page cache and mapped by an address_space object, but whose folios are also swap-backed (thus treated as anonymous for reclaim purposes). 3. MAP_PRIVATE-mapped /dev/zero - a strange beast whose VMAs have vma->vm_file set, but which clears vma->vm_ops to satisfy vma_is_anonymous(), resulting in VMAs that were mmap()'d referencing a file, but are in every other sense anonymous, including the folios. 4. Other MAP_PRIVATE-file backed mappings - These possess file-backed VMAs and have file-backed folios until CoW'd, at which point those CoW'd folios are anonymous. This series fixes issue 3. In order for us to traverse VMAs using the reverse mapping, we require two fields - folio->mapping and folio->index. The first tells the rmap code where to look for VMAs, and the second tells it at which offset the folio starts within the referenced object. For anonymous folios, folio->mapping points at an anon_vma object. For file-backed folios, it points at an address_space. And: * For file-backed folios folio->index is simply the page offset of the start of the folio within the file. * For anonymous folios belonging to pure anon mappings, folio->index is equal to the anonymous page offset of the folio. * For anonymous folios belonging to file-backed mappings (i.e. CoW'd folios of a MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mapping), folio->index is equal to the file page offset. This series establishes a new anonymous page offset property of VMAs to allow us to map anonymous folios at their anonymous page offset, consistent with pure anon. The purpose of doing so is to lay the foundations for the scalable CoW work. This is necessary because scalable CoW looks in the maple tree for the VMA located at folio->index << PAGE_SHIFT, before falling back to looking up tracked remaps if necessary. The MAP_PRIVATE file-backed case means that folio indices will very often conflict with one another and this remap tracking becomes substantially more contended, and of course the fast path can never be used. This also makes it possible, in future, to unshare anonymously mapped folios with deep fork hierarchies on remap, eliminating the need for remap tracking in the vast majority of cases. Similar to page offset of pure anonymous VMAs, we update the anonymous page offset of unfaulted file-backed VMAs on remap, but do not once CoW'd (i.e. vma->anon_vma is non-NULL). Overall, there is little impact on mergeability, which remains exactly the same for pure anonymous and shared file-backed mappings, with the only impact being on MAP_PRIVATE-mapped file-backed mappings, which must now match on anonymous page offset as well as file page offset to be merged. To fail to merge like this would require CoW'ing the mapping, then finding another VMA with identical file and compatible page offset to remap next to. This is therefore very much an edge case that should have very little impact (and which scalable CoW may very well address in any case). This patch (of 16): Establish fields in vm_area_struct to store the anonymous page offset of VMAs. Initially, the anonymous page offset of a VMA is vma->vm_start >> PAGE_SHIFT. When a VMA is remapped to new_address its anonymous page offset is either updated to new_address >> PAGE_SHIFT if unfaulted or, if faulted, remains equal to the anonymous page offset it had when first faulted. Currently, anonymous folios belonging to CoW'd MAP_PRIVATE-mapped file-backed VMAs are tracked by their file offsets. By adding anonymous offset as a property of VMAs, we can now track them by their anonymous page offset instead. By tracking this, we provide the means by which to eliminate this inconsistency, and more importantly lay the foundations for future work for the scalable CoW anonymous rmap rework. This patch simply adds the fields and some simple helpers. Subsequent patches will update mm code to make use of these fields correctly. The fields chosen are packed in the VMA such that, for 64-bit kernel builds, no additional space is taken up. The first field is present on cacheline 0 containing key VMA fields, and the second on cacheline 3, which contains file-backed reverse mapping fields. Given the relative time spent accessing reverse mapping fields as well as updating them, there shouldn't be any performance impact here from false sharing. Update the VMA userland tests to account for this change. No callsites are updated yet, so no functional change intended.

2026-08-06mm/mseal: limit scope of mseal address zero to address zeroLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)1-6/+2
Commit 44f65d900698 ("binfmt_elf: mseal address zero") unconditionally provided do_mseal() to any internal kernel caller in order to address a corner case slated for possible removal. It also incorrectly attempts to mseal without checking to see whether the mapping even succeeded. Restrict the scope to the corner case by providing mseal_mmap_page_zero() which asserts the MMAP_PAGE_ZERO personality. Avoid unnecessary checks in the start, end range by abstracting the actual mseal()'ing to mseal_range() and have mseal_mmap_page_zero() call that instead. Also only try to seal the VMA if we mapped the VMA. This isn't strictly necessary as the operation would error out anyway, but it's useless work and could be problematic if me make future changes to mseal semantics.

2026-08-06mm/vma: update do_mmap() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes1-2/+4
The core do_mmap() function accepts a vm_flags_t parameter which it then manipulates before passing to mmap_region() to do the heavy lifting of the memory mapping. Update do_mmap() to instead accept a vma_flags_t parameter, and adjust all the logic within do_mmap() to manipulate this instead. This is as part of the ongoing effort to convert VMA flags from a system word size to a bitmap type which allows us to unrestrict the number of VMA flags, as well as gain control over how VMA flag manipulation occurs. We do not cascade these changes to all functions which accept vm_flags_t, but rather use vma_flags_to_legacy() where necessary, specifically deferring converting calc_vm_prot_bits(), calc_vm_flag_bits() and __get_unmapped_area() to vma_flags_t. Also utilise the new vma_flags_can_grow() predicate which correctly handles the case of architectures without upward growing stacks. As part of this change, introduce VMA_SHADOW_STACK so we can correctly handle the case of the shadow stack not being defined. No functional change intended.

2026-08-06mm: introduce vma_flags_can_grow() and vma_can_grow()Lorenzo Stoakes1-3/+18
Patch series "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t", v2. This series makes further progress in converting usage of the deprecated vm_flags_t type to its replacement, vma_flags_t. It focuses on mm, though updates some users of mm APIs also. It updates: * The core do_mmap() code path for VMA mapping. * Unmapped area logic. * The usage of mm->def_vma_flags. * VMA page protection bit logic. * General usage of VMA flags in core mm code, mlock, mprotect, mremap. This patch (of 13): These test whether the VMA has stack semantics, i.e. is able to grow upwards or downwards depending on the architecture. In order to account for arches which do not support upward-growing stacks, introduce VMA_GROWSUP whose definition depends on the architecture supporting it, and use vma_flags_test_single_mask() in vma_flags_can_grow() to account for this.

2026-08-04mm/rmap: rename vma_interval_tree_*() to mapping_rmap_tree_*()Lorenzo Stoakes1-8/+8
The family of vma_interval_tree_() functions manipulate the address_space (which, of course, is generally referred to as 'mapping') reverse mapping, but are named the 'VMA' interval tree. VMAs may be mapped by an anon_vma, an address_space, or both. Therefore calling the mapping interval tree a 'VMA' interval tree is rather confusing. This is also inconsistent with the anon_vma_interval_tree_*() functions which explicitly reference the rmap object to which they pertain. Rename the vma_interval_tree_*() functions to mapping_rmap_tree_*() to correct this. We will rename the anon rmap functions similarly in a subsequent patch. No functional change intended.

The file-backed mapping interval tree functions vma_interval_tree_*() accept a raw rb_root_cached pointer to determine the tree in which they are operating. However, in each case, this is always associated with an address_space data type. So simply pass a pointer to that instead to simplify the code, and more clearly differentiate between these operations and those concerning anonymous mappings. While we're here, make the generated interval tree functions static as they do not need to be used externally (any previously existing external users have now been removed). We also rename VMA parameters from 'node' to 'vma' as calling this a node is simply confusing, update the input index types to pgoff_t since they reference page offsets and rename the parameters to pgoff_start and pgoff_last.

2026-08-04mm: move vma_start_pgoff() into mm.h and clean upLorenzo Stoakes1-2/+7
Patch series "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent", v2. This series performs a series of cleanups and improvements around how the vma->vm_pgoff field is used. Folios belonging to file-backed mappings are simply indexed by the page offset within the file they map (excepting pfnmap and driver mappings which sometimes do things different). However, anonymous folios belonging to pure anonymous mappings are indexed by their "virtual" page offset, which is equal to addr >> PAGE_SHIFT at the time at which the VMA was first faulted in. The page offset of a VMA is stored in vma->vm_pgoff and indicates the page offset of the start of the VMA range, whether it be file-backed or anonymous. The work here both cleans up how we reference this field, as well as laying the foundations for a future series which addresses the inconsistency of CoW'd folios in MAP_PRIVATE-file backed mappings, which are indexed as if they were file-backed but behave as if they were anonymous. This future series will make it such that all anonymous folios are indexed by virtual page offset whether belonging to VMAs who satisfy vma_is_anonymous() or MAP_PRIVATE-mapped file-backed mappings. This series: * Exposes vma_start_pgoff() and updates the kernel to use it consistently. * Adds and uses the useful vma_end_pgoff() helper. * Parameterises the file-backed mapping helpers vma_interval_tree_*() by address_space rather than rb_root_cached. * Renames: the misleadingly-named vma_interval_tree_*() helpers to mapping_rmap_tree_*() to be consistent with the renamed anon_rmap_tree_*(). * Parameterises anon_rmap_tree_*() by anon_vma. * Moves mm/interval_tree.c to the rmap section. * Adds vmg_*() helpers for page offset. * Clarifies the confusing vmg_adjust_set_range() function. * Introduces linear_page_delta() to provide relative pgoff within a VMA. * Replaces open-coded versions of linear_page_delta() and linear_page_index() with invocations of these functions. * Introduces and uses vma_assert_can_modify() to account for whether a VMA can be modified (detached or write locked). * Adds and uses vma_[add,sub]_pgoff() to adjust VMA page offset. * Moves __install_special_mapping() to vma.c. * Makes vma_set_range() static and internal to vma.c. * Introduces and makes use of vma_set_pgoff(). * Fixes incorrect vma.h header inclusion. * Defaults VMA userland tests to 64-bit vma flags size. * Updates VMA userland tests to give better output on failure. * Various smaller cleanups. * Updated the vma_set_pgoff() assert to account for MAP_PRIVATE /dev/zero correctly. This patch (of 33): vma_last_pgoff() already lives there, so it's a bit odd to keep vma_start_pgoff() in mm/interval_tree.c. Move them together. These each return unsigned long, which pgoff_t is typedef'd to. Make this consistent and have these functions return pgoff_t instead. Additionally, express vma_last_pgoff() in terms of vma_start_pgoff(), since we wrap the vma->vm_pgoff access, we may as well use it here. Also while we're here, const-ify the VMA and cleanup a bit. Also update the VMA userland tests to reflect the change. No functional change intended.

2026-08-04mm: provide free_reserved_pages(), removing x86 variantDavid Hildenbrand (Arm)1-2/+6
Let's extend free_reserved_page() in page_alloc.c to free_reserved_pages(), dropping the custom x86 variant. The common-code variant will consume an order, so adjust the x86 callers accordingly. Make free_reserved_pages() assume that we are freeing ordinary high-order pages, just with the special "reserved" flavor. The target use case for now is freeing vmemmap PMD pages. Set the refcount directly to 0 (instead of 1) and call __free_frozen_pages(). Set the page count to 0 before clearing PG_reserved, so someone checking PG_reserved (and not finding it set) to then try grabbing a ref would not suddenly have that ref be dropped. That is arguably cleaner and safer than the old way of doing it. Add some kerneldoc. Use a single adjust_managed_page_count() call.

2026-08-04mm: handle VM_UFFD_RWP in khugepaged, rmap, and GUPKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)1-1/+15
Three mm paths outside the fault handler gate on the uffd PTE bit today: khugepaged (skip collapse on ranges carrying markers), rmap (cap unmap batching), and GUP (force a fault through gup_can_follow_protnone). Extend each to treat VM_UFFD_RWP the same as VM_UFFD_WP; otherwise per-PTE RWP state is silently destroyed or bypassed. khugepaged: try_collapse_pte_mapped_thp() and file_backed_vma_is_retractable() already refuse to collapse or retract page tables on ranges carrying the uffd PTE bit. Broaden the VMA predicate from userfaultfd_wp() to userfaultfd_protected() so VM_UFFD_RWP ranges get the same protection. hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() needs no change — its existing pte_uffd() check already catches an RWP PTE because it carries the uffd bit. rmap: folio_unmap_pte_batch() caps batching at 1 for VM_UFFD_RWP so the restore path handles each PTE with its own marker. GUP: gup_can_follow_protnone() forces a fault on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs regardless of FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. RWP uses protnone as an access-tracking marker, not for NUMA hinting, so any GUP — read or write — must go through the userfaultfd fault path.

2026-08-04mm: preserve RWP marker across PTE rewritesKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)1-1/+2
The uffd PTE bit must survive any kernel path that rewrites a PTE on a VM_UFFD_RWP VMA, otherwise the marker that carries PAGE_NONE semantics is silently dropped and the next access leaks past RWP tracking. Wire the preservation through every path that rewrites a VM_UFFD_RWP PTE. Swap and device-exclusive: do_swap_page(), restore_exclusive_pte(), and unuse_pte() (swapoff()) re-apply PAGE_NONE when the swap PTE carries the uffd bit and the VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP. Migration: remove_migration_pte() and remove_migration_pmd() do the same after the migration entry is replaced with a real PTE/PMD. Fork: __copy_present_ptes(), copy_present_page(), copy_nonpresent_pte(), copy_huge_pmd(), copy_huge_non_present_pmd(), and copy_hugetlb_page_range() keep the uffd bit on the child when the destination VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP, matching the existing VM_UFFD_WP handling. Add VM_UFFD_RWP to VM_COPY_ON_FORK so the flag itself propagates. mprotect(): change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() restore PAGE_NONE after pte_modify()/pmd_modify() have recomputed the base protection from a (possibly user-changed) vm_page_prot. pte_modify() preserves _PAGE_UFFD, so the bit stays; we just have to force PAGE_NONE back on top.

2026-08-04mm: add MM_CP_UFFD_RWP change_protection() flagKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)1-0/+5
Preparatory patch. Add the change_protection() primitive that userfaultfd RWP will use. An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd PTE bit set. The PROT_NONE half makes the CPU fault on any access; the uffd bit distinguishes an RWP fault from a plain mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA hinting fault. MM_CP_UFFD_WP and MM_CP_UFFD_RWP share the same PTE bit, so the two cannot be used together on the same range. Two new change_protection() flags: MM_CP_UFFD_RWP install PAGE_NONE and set the uffd bit MM_CP_UFFD_RWP_RESOLVE restore vma->vm_page_prot, clear the uffd bit Both are wired through change_pte_range(), change_huge_pmd(), and hugetlb_change_protection() so anon, shmem, THP, and hugetlb all share the same semantics.

2026-08-04mm: add VM_UFFD_RWP VMA flagKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)1-14/+27
Preparatory patch for userfaultfd read-write protection (RWP). RWP extends userfaultfd protection from plain write-protection (WP) to full read-write protection: accesses to an RWP-protected range -- reads as well as writes -- trap through userfaultfd. Reserve VM_UFFD_RWP, add the userfaultfd_rwp() and userfaultfd_protected() helpers, and wire up the smaps "ur" entry and the trace-flag table the rest of the series will use. The flag is gated on CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP, which is introduced together with the UAPI in a later patch; until then VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE and every downstream check folds to dead code. Nothing sets or queries the flag yet.

2026-07-30mm: fix ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS by passing memdesc_flags_t by pointerHui Zhu1-8/+18
KCSAN reports a data race between page_to_nid()/folio_pgdat() reading page->flags and folio_trylock()/folio_lock() concurrently doing test_and_set_bit_lock(PG_locked, ...) on the same word, e.g.: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __lruvec_stat_mod_folio / shmem_get_folio_gfp The race is benign: nid/zone bits are set once at page init and never overlap with PG_locked. However, ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() inside memdesc_nid/zonenum() was checking a by-value copy of the flags word, not the live page->flags, so it failed to annotate the real access. Change memdesc_nid(), memdesc_zonenum(), memdesc_section(), and memdesc_is_zone_device() to take a const memdesc_flags_t * and update all callers to pass &page->flags / &folio->flags, so ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() operates on the actual shared word. Guard the ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() call in memdesc_zonenum() under ZONES_WIDTH != 0 to avoid a zero-mask check on configs where the zone field is absent. memdesc_section() needs no such guard, since SECTIONS_WIDTH is never 0 wherever SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS is defined. Under CONFIG_NUMA=n, memdesc_nid() itself is stubbed to "return 0" instead of reading page->flags, since NODES_MASK is 0 and the check can never fire; page_to_nid()/folio_nid() now just call memdesc_nid() unconditionally and rely on that stub, instead of duplicating the CONFIG_NUMA split at each call site.

2026-06-08userfaultfd: build __VMA_UFFD_FLAGS from config-gated masksKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)1-0/+39
The VMA flags bitmap is a single word today: NUM_VMA_FLAG_BITS is BITS_PER_LONG, so on 32-bit vma_flags_t holds only 32 bits. (The bitmap type exists so this can grow past BITS_PER_LONG later; until it does, anything declared above the first word is out of range on 32-bit.) The bit enum nevertheless declares some bits unconditionally above BITS_PER_LONG -- VMA_UFFD_MINOR_BIT is 41, with VM_UFFD_MINOR == VM_NONE on 32-bit so no VMA actually carries the bit. __VMA_UFFD_FLAGS feeds VMA_UFFD_MINOR_BIT to mk_vma_flags() unconditionally. On 32-bit that becomes __set_bit(41, &one_long), a write one word past the end of the single-word bitmap. The compiler folds the out-of-bounds store with wraparound (1UL << (41 % 32) == bit 9) into the first word; bit 9 is already in __VMA_UFFD_FLAGS so the mask happens to come out right today, but it is an out-of-bounds write all the same, and any high-numbered bit whose mod-BITS_PER_LONG position is otherwise unused would silently OR an extra bit into the mask. Rather than feed bit numbers that may not exist on the current build to mk_vma_flags(), build the mask from whole per-mode masks that collapse to EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS when their feature is unavailable. Add mk_vma_flags_from_masks() for that, and define VMA_UFFD_MISSING / _WP / _MINOR alongside the VM_UFFD_* flags, gating VMA_UFFD_MINOR on the same config as VM_UFFD_MINOR (which implies 64BIT, where bit 41 fits). An out-of-range bit is then never materialised, on any arch, and the in-range fast path stays a compile-time constant.

2026-06-04drivers/char/mem: eliminate unnecessary use of success_hookLorenzo Stoakes1-0/+5
Patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks", v3. The mmap_action->success_hook was a strange beast added to enable code which appeared to absolutely require access to a VMA pointer to work correctly. Primarily this was for hugetlb, however a different approach will be taken there, as clearly more work is required to figure out a sensible way of converting hugetlb to use mmap_prepare. The other user was the memory char driver, specifically /dev/zero which has the unusual property of explicitly setting file-backed VMAs anonymous. Providing the success hook was always foolish, as it allowed drivers a way to workaround the restriction that they should not access a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-initialised VMA - which defeats the purpose of the mmap_prepare work. We can achieve the same thing in memory char driver without needing the success hook, so this series removes that, then removes the success hook altogether. The error hook is also unnecessary - the motivation for this was for functions which need to override the error code when performing an mmap action in order to avoid breaking userspace. We can achieve this by just providing a field for the error code. Doing this means we don't have to worry about the hook doing anything odd. We also add a check to ensure the error code is in fact valid. Again the memory char driver is the only current user of this, so this series updates it to use that. After this change mmap_action has no custom hooks at all, which seems rather more cromulent than before. This patch (of 3): /dev/zero, uniquely, marks memory mapped there as anonymous. This is currently achieved using the mmap_action->success_hook. However this hook circumvents the abstraction of VMA initialisation so it's preferable to do things a different way. To achieve this, this patch firstly defaults the VMA descriptor's vm_ops field to the dummy VMA operations, which is what file-backed VMAs default this field to. That way, we can detect whether a driver sets this field to NULL in order to mark it anonymous. We then introduce vma_desc_set_anonymous() to do this explicitly, and invoke it in mmap_zero_prepare(). This way, any driver which does not explicitly set desc->vm_ops, retains the dummy vm_ops as they would previously. We also update set_vma_user_defined_fields() to make clear that we are either setting vma->vm_ops to what is provided by the driver (or defaulting to dummy_vm_ops if not set), or setting the VMA anonymous. This lays the groundwork for removing the success hook.

2026-05-28mm/sparse: remove sparse buffer pre-allocation mechanismMuchun Song1-1/+0
Commit 9bdac9142407 ("sparsemem: Put mem map for one node together.") introduced a mechanism to pre-allocate a large memory block to hold all memmaps for a NUMA node upfront. However, the original commit message did not clearly state the actual benefits or the necessity of explicitly pre-allocating a single chunk for all memmap areas of a given node. One of the concerns about removing this pre-allocation is that the subsequent per-section memmap allocations could become scattered around, and might turn too many memory blocks/sections into an "un-offlinable" state. However, tests show that even without the explicit node-wide pre-allocation, memblock still allocates memory closely and back-to-back. When tracing vmemmap_set_pmd allocations, the physical chunks allocated by memblock are strictly adjacent to each other in a single contiguous physical range (mapped top-down). Because they are packed tightly together naturally, they will at most consume or pollute the exact same number of memory blocks as the explicit pre-allocation did. Another concern is the boot performance impact of calling memmap_alloc() multiple times compared to one large node-wide allocation. Tests on a 256GB VM showed that memmap allocation time increased from 199,555 ns to 741,292 ns. Even though it is 3.7x slower, on a 1TB machine, the entire memory allocation time would only take a few milliseconds. This boot performance difference is completely negligible. Since no negative impact on memory offlining behavior or noticeable boot performance regression was found, this patch proposes removing the explicit node-wide memmap pre-allocation mechanism to reduce the maintenance burden.

2026-05-28mm/memory-failure: fix hugetlb_lock AA deadlock in get_huge_page_for_hwpoisonWupeng Ma1-8/+0
Two concurrent madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) calls on the same hugetlb page can trigger a recursive spinlock self-deadlock (AA deadlock) on hugetlb_lock when racing with a concurrent unmap: thread#0 thread#1 -------- -------- madvise(folio, MADV_HWPOISON) -> poisons the folio successfully madvise(folio, MADV_HWPOISON) unmap(folio) try_memory_failure_hugetlb get_huge_page_for_hwpoison spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock) <- held __get_huge_page_for_hwpoison hugetlb_update_hwpoison() -> MF_HUGETLB_FOLIO_PRE_POISONED goto out: folio_put() refcount: 1 -> 0 free_huge_folio() spin_lock_irqsave(&hugetlb_lock) -> AA DEADLOCK! The out: path in __get_huge_page_for_hwpoison() calls folio_put() to drop the GUP reference while the hugetlb_lock is still held by the hugetlb.c wrapper get_huge_page_for_hwpoison(). If concurrent unmap has released the page table mapping reference, folio_put() drops the folio refcount to zero, triggering free_huge_folio() which attempts to re-acquire the non-recursive hugetlb_lock. Fix this by moving hugetlb_lock acquisition from the hugetlb.c wrapper into get_huge_page_for_hwpoison(). Place spin_unlock_irq() before the folio_put() at the out: label so the folio is always released outside the lock.

2026-04-27mm/vma: do not try to unmap a VMA if mmap_prepare() invoked from mmap()Lorenzo Stoakes1-1/+1
The mmap_prepare hook functionality includes the ability to invoke mmap_prepare() from the mmap() hook of existing 'stacked' drivers, that is ones which are capable of calling the mmap hooks of other drivers/file systems (e.g. overlayfs, shm). As part of the mmap_prepare action functionality, we deal with errors by unmapping the VMA should one arise. This works in the usual mmap_prepare case, as we invoke this action at the last moment, when the VMA is established in the maple tree. However, the mmap() hook passes a not-fully-established VMA pointer to the caller (which is the motivation behind the mmap_prepare() work), which is detached. So attempting to unmap a VMA in this state will be problematic, with the most obvious symptom being a warning in vma_mark_detached(), because the VMA is already detached. It's also unncessary - the mmap() handler will clean up the VMA on error. So to fix this issue, this patch propagates whether or not an mmap action is being completed via the compatibility layer or directly. If the former, then we do not attempt VMA cleanup, if the latter, then we do. This patch also updates the userland VMA tests to reflect the change.

2026-04-18userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_opsMike Rapoport (Microsoft)1-0/+5
Current userfaultfd implementation works only with memory managed by core MM: anonymous, shmem and hugetlb. First, there is no fundamental reason to limit userfaultfd support only to the core memory types and userfaults can be handled similarly to regular page faults provided a VMA owner implements appropriate callbacks. Second, historically various code paths were conditioned on vma_is_anonymous(), vma_is_shmem() and is_vm_hugetlb_page() and some of these conditions can be expressed as operations implemented by a particular memory type. Introduce vm_uffd_ops extension to vm_operations_struct that will delegate memory type specific operations to a VMA owner. Operations for anonymous memory are handled internally in userfaultfd using anon_uffd_ops that implicitly assigned to anonymous VMAs. Start with a single operation, ->can_userfault() that will verify that a VMA meets requirements for userfaultfd support at registration time. Implement that method for anonymous, shmem and hugetlb and move relevant parts of vma_can_userfault() into the new callbacks.

2026-04-05mm/huge_memory: simplify vma_is_specal_huge()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-16/+0
Patch series "mm/huge_memory: refactor zap_huge_pmd()", v3. zap_huge_pmd() is overly complicated, clean it up and also add an assert in the case that we encounter a buggy PMD entry that doesn't match expectations. This is motivated by a bug discovered [0] where the PMD entry was none of: * A non-DAX, PFN or mixed map. * The huge zero folio * A present PMD entry * A softleaf entry In zap_huge_pmd(), but due to the bug we manged to reach this code. It is useful to explicitly call this out rather than have an arbitrary NULL pointer dereference happen, which also improves understanding of what's going on. The series goes further to make use of vm_normal_folio_pmd() rather than implementing custom logic for retrieving the folio, and extends softleaf functionality to provide and use an equivalent softleaf function. This patch (of 13): This function is confused - it overloads the term 'special' yet again, checks for DAX but in many cases the code explicitly excludes DAX before invoking the predicate. It also unnecessarily checks for vma->vm_file - this has to be present for a driver to have set VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT or VMA_PFNMAP_BIT. In fact, a far simpler form of this is to reverse the DAX predicate and return false if DAX is set. This makes sense from the point of view of 'special' as in vm_normal_page(), as DAX actually does potentially have retrievable folios. Also there's no need to have this in mm.h so move it to huge_memory.c. No functional change intended.

2026-04-05mm: add mmap_action_map_kernel_pages[_full]()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-2/+93
A user can invoke mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() to specify that the mapping should map kernel pages starting from desc->start of a specified number of pages specified in an array. In order to implement this, adjust mmap_action_prepare() to be able to return an error code, as it makes sense to assert that the specified parameters are valid as quickly as possible as well as updating the VMA flags to include VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT as necessary. This provides an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_insert_pages(). We additionally update the existing vm_insert_pages() code to use range_in_vma() and add a new range_in_vma_desc() helper function for the mmap_prepare case, sharing the code between the two in range_is_subset(). We add both mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() and mmap_action_map_kernel_pages_full() to allow for both partial and full VMA mappings. We update the documentation to reflect the new features. Finally, we update the VMA tests accordingly to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm: add mmap_action_simple_ioremap()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-1/+23
Currently drivers use vm_iomap_memory() as a simple helper function for I/O remapping memory over a range starting at a specified physical address over a specified length. In order to utilise this from mmap_prepare, separate out the core logic into __simple_ioremap_prep(), update vm_iomap_memory() to use it, and add simple_ioremap_prepare() to do the same with a VMA descriptor object. We also add MMAP_SIMPLE_IO_REMAP and relevant fields to the struct mmap_action type to permit this operation also. We use mmap_action_ioremap() to set up the actual I/O remap operation once we have checked and figured out the parameters, which makes simple_ioremap_prepare() easy to implement. We then add mmap_action_simple_ioremap() to allow drivers to make use of this mode. We update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe this mode. Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

2026-04-05mm: add vm_ops->mapped hookLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-0/+17
Previously, when a driver needed to do something like establish a reference count, it could do so in the mmap hook in the knowledge that the mapping would succeed. With the introduction of f_op->mmap_prepare this is no longer the case, as it is invoked prior to actually establishing the mapping. mmap_prepare is not appropriate for this kind of thing as it is called before any merge might take place, and after which an error might occur meaning resources could be leaked. To take this into account, introduce a new vm_ops->mapped callback which is invoked when the VMA is first mapped (though notably - not when it is merged - which is correct and mirrors existing mmap/open/close behaviour). We do better that vm_ops->open() here, as this callback can return an error, at which point the VMA will be unmapped. Note that vm_ops->mapped() is invoked after any mmap action is complete (such as I/O remapping). We intentionally do not expose the VMA at this point, exposing only the fields that could be used, and an output parameter in case the operation needs to update the vma->vm_private_data field. In order to deal with stacked filesystems which invoke inner filesystem's mmap() invocations, add __compat_vma_mapped() and invoke it on vfs_mmap() (via compat_vma_mmap()) to ensure that the mapped callback is handled when an mmap() caller invokes a nested filesystem's mmap_prepare() callback. Update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe the mapped hook and make it clear what its intended use is. The vm_ops->mapped() call is handled by the mmap complete logic to ensure the same code paths are handled by both the compatibility and VMA layers. Additionally, update VMA userland test headers to reflect the change.

2026-04-05mm: various small mmap_prepare cleanupsLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-4/+3
Patch series "mm: expand mmap_prepare functionality and usage", v4. This series expands the mmap_prepare functionality, which is intended to replace the deprecated f_op->mmap hook which has been the source of bugs and security issues for some time. This series starts with some cleanup of existing mmap_prepare logic, then adds documentation for the mmap_prepare call to make it easier for filesystem and driver writers to understand how it works. It then importantly adds a vm_ops->mapped hook, a key feature that was missing from mmap_prepare previously - this is invoked when a driver which specifies mmap_prepare has successfully been mapped but not merged with another VMA. mmap_prepare is invoked prior to a merge being attempted, so you cannot manipulate state such as reference counts as if it were a new mapping. The vm_ops->mapped hook allows a driver to perform tasks required at this stage, and provides symmetry against subsequent vm_ops->open,close calls. The series uses this to correct the afs implementation which wrongly manipulated reference count at mmap_prepare time. It then adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_iomap_memory() - mmap_action_simple_ioremap(), then uses this to update a number of drivers. It then splits out the mmap_prepare compatibility layer (which allows for invocation of mmap_prepare hooks in an mmap() hook) in such a way as to allow for more incremental implementation of mmap_prepare hooks. It then uses this to extend mmap_prepare usage in drivers. Finally it adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_map_pages(), which lays the foundation for future work which will extend mmap_prepare to DMA coherent mappings. This patch (of 21): Rather than passing arbitrary fields, pass a vm_area_desc pointer to mmap prepare functions to mmap prepare, and an action and vma pointer to mmap complete in order to put all the action-specific logic in the function actually doing the work. Additionally, allow mmap prepare functions to return an error so we can error out as soon as possible if there is something logically incorrect in the input. Update remap_pfn_range_prepare() to properly check the input range for the CoW case. Also remove io_remap_pfn_range_complete(), as we can simply set up the fields correctly in io_remap_pfn_range_prepare() and use remap_pfn_range_complete() for this. While we're here, make remap_pfn_range_prepare_vma() a little neater, and pass mmap_action directly to call_action_complete(). Then, update compat_vma_mmap() to perform its logic directly, as __compat_vma_map() is not used by anything so we don't need to export it. Also update compat_vma_mmap() to use vfs_mmap_prepare() rather than calling the mmap_prepare op directly. Finally, update the VMA userland tests to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm/vma: convert __mmap_region() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-6/+12
Update the mmap() implementation logic implemented in __mmap_region() and functions invoked by it. The mmap_region() function converts its input vm_flags_t parameter to a vma_flags_t value which it then passes to __mmap_region() which uses the vma_flags_t value consistently from then on. As part of the change, we convert map_deny_write_exec() to using vma_flags_t (it was incorrectly using unsigned long before), and place it in vma.h, as it is only used internal to mm. With this change, we eliminate the legacy is_shared_maywrite_vm_flags() helper function which is now no longer required. We are also able to update the MMAP_STATE() and VMG_MMAP_STATE() macros to use the vma_flags_t value. Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect the change.

2026-04-05mm/vma: convert vma_modify_flags[_uffd]() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-12/+10
Update the vma_modify_flags() and vma_modify_flags_uffd() functions to accept a vma_flags_t parameter rather than a vm_flags_t one, and propagate the changes as needed to implement this change. Also add vma_flags_reset_once() in replacement of vm_flags_reset_once(). We still need to be careful here because we need to avoid tearing, so maintain the assumption that the first system word set of flags are the only ones that require protection from tearing, and retain this functionality. We can copy the remainder of VMA flags above 64 bits normally. But hopefully by the time that happens, we will have replaced the logic that requires these WRITE_ONCE()'s with something else. We also replace instances of vm_flags_reset() with a simple write of VMA flags. We are no longer perform a number of checks, most notable of all the VMA flags asserts becase: 1. We might be operating on a VMA that is not yet added to the tree. 2. We might be operating on a VMA that is now detached. 3. Really in all but core code, you should be using vma_desc_xxx(). 4. Other VMA fields are manipulated with no such checks. 5. It'd be egregious to have to add variants of flag functions just to account for cases such as the above, especially when we don't do so for other VMA fields. Drivers are the problematic cases and why it was especially important (and also for debug as VMA locks were introduced), the mmap_prepare work is solving this generally. Additionally, we can fairly safely assume by this point the soft dirty flags are being set correctly, so it's reasonable to drop this also. Finally, update the VMA tests to reflect this.

2026-04-05mm/vma: convert as much as we can in mm/vma.c to vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-2/+4
Now we have established a good foundation for vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t changes, update mm/vma.c to utilise vma_flags_t wherever possible. We are able to convert VM_STARTGAP_FLAGS entirely as this is only used in mm/vma.c, and to account for the fact we can't use VM_NONE to make life easier, place the definition of this within existing #ifdef's to be cleaner. Generally the remaining changes are mechanical. Also update the VMA tests to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm: convert do_brk_flags() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-18/+29
In order to be able to do this, we need to change VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS and friends and update the architecture-specific definitions also. We then have to update some KSM logic to handle VMA flags, and introduce VMA_STACK_FLAGS to define the vma_flags_t equivalent of VM_STACK_FLAGS. We also introduce two helper functions for use during the time we are converting legacy flags to vma_flags_t values - vma_flags_to_legacy() and legacy_to_vma_flags(). This enables us to iteratively make changes to break these changes up into separate parts. We use these explicitly here to keep VM_STACK_FLAGS around for certain users which need to maintain the legacy vm_flags_t values for the time being. We are no longer able to rely on the simple VM_xxx being set to zero if the feature is not enabled, so in the case of VM_DROPPABLE we introduce VMA_DROPPABLE as the vma_flags_t equivalent, which is set to EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS if the droppable flag is not available. While we're here, we make the description of do_brk_flags() into a kdoc comment, as it almost was already. We use vma_flags_to_legacy() to not need to update the vm_get_page_prot() logic as this time. Note that in create_init_stack_vma() we have to replace the BUILD_BUG_ON() with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() as the tested values are no longer build time available. We also update mprotect_fixup() to use VMA flags where possible, though we have to live with a little duplication between vm_flags_t and vma_flags_t values for the time being until further conversions are made. While we're here, update VM_SPECIAL to be defined in terms of VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS now we have vma_flags_to_legacy(). Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect these changes.

2026-04-05mm: introduce vma_flags_count() and vma[_flags]_test_single_mask()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)1-0/+46
vma_flags_count() determines how many bits are set in VMA flags, using bitmap_weight(). vma_flags_test_single_mask() determines if a vma_flags_t set of flags contains a single flag specified as another vma_flags_t value, or if the sought flag mask is empty, it is defined to return false. This is useful when we want to declare a VMA flag as optionally a single flag in a mask or empty depending on kernel configuration. This allows us to have VM_NONE-like semantics when checking whether the flag is set. In a subsequent patch, we introduce the use of VMA_DROPPABLE of type vma_flags_t using precisely these semantics. It would be actively confusing to use vma_flags_test_any_single_mask() for this (and vma_flags_test_all_mask() is not correct to use here, as it trivially returns true when tested against an empty vma flags mask). We introduce vma_flags_count() to be able to assert that the compared flag mask is singular or empty, checked when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. Also update the VMA tests as part of this change.
