2026-08-06mm: convert __get_unmapped_area() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes2-22/+26
Update __get_unmapped_area() to be parameterised by vma_flags_t rather than vm_flags_t as part of the effort to move VMA flags from a system word to a bitmap. We cascade the changes up to arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and arch_get_unmapped_area(), where, for now, we use vma_flags_to_legacy() in order to propagate the VMA flags. No functional change intended.

2026-08-06mm/vma: update do_mmap() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes6-47/+57
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/memory_hotplug: add offline_and_remove_memory_ranges()Gregory Price1-27/+67
offline_and_remove_memory() handles a single contiguous range. Callers that manage a device composed of several ranges (dax/kmem) currently have to call it in a loop, which gives up atomicity. In addition to pushing rollback logic into the driver, the lack of atomicity creates a race condition between system daemons trying to manage the same resource: - Manager 1: Offlines memory blocks. Removes device. ^^^^ - Manager 2: Detects offline memory blocks, re-onlines them. Add offline_and_remove_memory_ranges(), which takes an array of ranges and processes them as one operation under a single lock_device_hotplug(): - Phase 1 offlines every block of every range. - Phase 2 removes the ranges only if all ranges are offline. - If any offline fails, the whole operation is reverted. This gives callers all-or-nothing semantics for the offline step, so a failed or interrupted unplug leaves the device in a consistent state. This also resolves the battling managers race - the second manager's operation simply fails when the block is destroyed / cannot be onlined. offline_and_remove_memory() becomes a thin wrapper that passes its single range to the new helper, so the offline/rollback logic lives in one place.

2026-08-06mm/memory_hotplug: add __add_memory_driver_managed() with online_type argGregory Price1-8/+53
Existing callers of add_memory_driver_managed cannot select the preferred online type (ZONE_NORMAL vs ZONE_MOVABLE), requiring it to hot-add memory as offline blocks, and then follow up by onlining each memory block individually. Most drivers prefer the system default, but the CXL driver wants to plumb a preferred policy through the dax kmem driver. Refactor APIs to add a new interface which allows the dax kmem module to select a preferred policy. Overriding the configured auto-online policy is only safe for known in-tree modules, where we know the override reflects a different, user-requested policy. We do not want arbitrary out-of-tree drivers silently overriding the system-wide onlining policy, so restrict the new interface to the kmem module using EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES() rather than a plain EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). Other in-tree modules (e.g. cxl_core) can be added to the allowed list as the need arises. Refactor add_memory_driver_managed, extract __add_memory_driver_managed - Add proper kernel-doc for add_memory_driver_managed while refactoring - New helper accepts an explicit online_type. - New helper validates online_type is between OFFLINE and ONLINE_MOVABLE Refactor: add_memory_resource, extract __add_memory_resource - new helper accepts an explicit online_type Original APIs now explicitly pass the system-default to new helpers.

2026-08-06mm/memory_hotplug: export mhp_get_default_online_typeGregory Price1-0/+1
Drivers which may pass hotplug policy down to DAX need MMOP_ symbols and the mhp_get_default_online_type function for hotplug use cases. Some drivers (cxl) co-mingle their hotplug and devdax use-cases into the same driver code, and chose the dax_kmem path as the default driver path - making it difficult to require hotplug as a predicate to building the overall driver (it may break other non-hotplug use-cases). Export mhp_get_default_online_type function to allow these drivers to build when hotplug is disabled and still use the DAX use case. In the built-out case we simply return MMOP_OFFLINE as it's non-destructive. The internal function can never return -1 either, so we choose this to allow for defining the function with 'enum mmop'.

2026-08-06mm/damon/core: skip aging from repeated aggressive mergingSJ Park2-9/+14
The number of DAMON regions could temporarily exceed the user-defined maximum number of regions limit for corner cases. For example, users could lower the limit via runtime parameters update. For such a case, kdamond_merge_regions() repeats merging regions in the case doubling the merge threshold. The repeated merge operation could update the age of regions multiple times. This corrupts the monitoring results. Fix the issue by asking the merge operation to skip aging for the corner case. The user impact is degradation of the monitoring quality. The impact should be mild, since the degradation is only temporal, and it is not common to happen in realistic setups. The issue was discovered [1,2] by Sashiko.

2026-08-06mm/swap: clarify unreachable cond_resched() in swap_reclaim_full_clustersYoungjun Park1-0/+6
Commit 66366d291f66 ("mm/swap: add cond_resched() in swap_reclaim_full_clusters to prevent softlockup") added cond_resched() to prevent soft lockups during heavy swap reclaim. Currently, there are two call sites for this function: 1. swap_reclaim_work(): called with force=true in a workqueue context. 2. cluster_alloc_swap_entry(): called with force=false, holding a local_lock and potentially a global cluster spinlock (atomic context). In the second case, calling cond_resched() would normally cause a "scheduling while atomic" bug. However, it is currently safe because when force=false, 'to_scan' is initialized to 1. The loop decrements it to 0 and breaks before ever reaching cond_resched(). This implicit dependency is hard to notice and recently triggered a false positive in AI Sashiko review. Add a comment to explicitly clarify that cond_resched() is unreachable in atomic contexts. This improves readability and prevents future misuse if the loop logic or 'to_scan' initialization is modified.

2026-08-06mm: huge_memory: fix kobject cleanup in thpsize_create errorHongling Zeng1-4/+2
When kobject_init_and_add() fails, the kobject API requires calling kobject_put() to properly clean up the memory, not direct kfree(). According to the kobject API documentation, kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_init() internally. If the subsequent kobject_add() fails, the kobject has still been initialized and must be cleaned up via the reference count mechanism (kobject_put), not direct kfree(). Direct kfree() leaves the kobject's internal state (including the reference count and kset membership) uncleaned, which can cause: - Memory leaks of kobject internal structures - Potential use-after-free if there are pending references - Inconsistent state with the rest of the error handling code This fix matches the pattern used elsewhere in the kernel and in the same function (err_put label) which correctly uses kobject_put().

2026-08-05mm: fix incorrect flush address in direct page table reclaimAndy Lutomirski1-1/+1
When zap_pte_range reclaims a page table, it does: pte_free_tlb(tlb, pmd_pgtable(pmdval), addr); and this is unconditionally wrong: if this code executes, addr *always* points one past the end of the range covered by the table. The addr parameter is used to flush the TLB (really the paging-structure-cache) to drop references to the to-be-freed table, and any architecture that cares about the parameter will flush the wrong address. (But they'll still free the correct page). I think it's worth contemplating why the kernel works at all. If we hit the offending line of code, we will first clear the PMD entry (line 1954, zap_empty_pte_table), then we will issue pending flushes if force_flush is set (tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(tlb)), then we will skip the retry on line 1979 (phew!), and then we will do the offending pte_free_tlb call. *Or* we will clear the PMD entry immediately before pte_free_tlb (line 1983, zap_pte_table_if_empty). If we have any pending flushes (i.e. we actually zapped any last-level entries) at the time we clear the PMD entry, then the flush really ought to flush all references to the table (Linus certainly seems to think it will on all architectures [0]). The condition under which we have no accumulated flushes at the time of the clear is very complex (the whole zap_pte_range function has absurdly complex control flow). If we do hit the bad case, then we will end up clearing the PMD entry after the last time the range is flushed, and any CPU is free to cache a reference to the (empty) page table. If this happens due to an ordinary read or write, it would segfault, so it would be rare. But the cache could be speculatively filled as well. Then we'll flush the wrong address and then free and possibly reuse the table. On x86, even flushing the wrong address works on non-KPTI Intel systems because INVLPG flushes *all* paging-structure-caches, not just the ones for the target address. But INVPCID does not, and flush_tlb_one_user will use INVPCID if it's available. And then we're toast. AMD systems are more susceptible: we set the EFER.TCE bit, which makes even INVLPG only flush the target address. I think this might fix an issue in ripgrep reported here: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/3494 [0] https://lore.kernel.org/all/CA+55aFzBggoXtNXQeng5d_mRoDnaMBE5Y+URs+PHR67nUpMtaw@mail.gmail.com/T/#u Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Fixes: 4c640eb4181c ("mm: move pte table reclaim code to memory.c") Cc: Liam Howlett <liam.howlett@oracle.com> Cc: Liam R.

2026-08-04mm/damon: adjust isolated pages stat for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD}SJ Park3-1/+8
Callers of migrate_pages() should adjust NR_MIGRATED_{ANON,FILE} for isolations and putback of the folios. That for migration succeeded folios is done by migrate_pages(), in migrate_folio_done().

2026-08-04mm/damon/ops-common: putback folios on invalid migrate nidliyouhong1-1/+8
damon_pa_migrate() and damos_va_migrate() isolate folios into a local list and then call damon_migrate_pages(). When target_nid is invalid (including the scheme default NUMA_NO_NODE / -1), damon_migrate_pages() returns early without putting the folios back to the LRU. Callers then discard the list head while those folios remain isolated with an extra reference taken by folio_isolate_lru(). The pages stay off the LRU for as long as the mapping exists (anon active+inactive counts drop while RSS does not), and the leftover references can pin the pages after the mapping is gone. Put the folios back on the invalid-nid path so ignored migration requests still return them to the LRU.

page_table_check_set() and page_table_check_clear() account mappings based on PageAnon(). Shared zero-page PTEs and huge zero PMDs are special mappings, but page_table_check can still account them as file-backed pages. An unprivileged process can populate enough zero mappings to overflow file_map_count and hit the existing BUG_ON(). The PTE path can do this with the shared zero page, and the PMD path can do the same with huge zero mappings. Skip special zero mappings in the user page-table accounting paths. Keep the PTE-side pte_special() check, and identify huge zero PMDs from the mapped folio instead of pmd_special(). That covers architectures where pmd_special() is a no-op without adding huge_zero_pfn checks to the generic counter helpers.

2026-08-04mm/damon/lru_sort: error out for >10000 active_mem_bpSJ Park1-0/+2
damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target value is zero. DAMON_LRU_SORT lets users set the target value for the hot memory scheme via active_mem_bp parameter. It avoids setting it as the target value if the parameter value is zero. However, it also sets the cold memory scheme with a target value that is calculated as '10000 - active_mem_bp + 2'. Hence, if a user sets active_mem_bp 10002, the cold memory scheme's quota goal target value can be zero. As a result, division by zero can be triggered. Fix by returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with >10000 active_mem_bp parameter value. It makes no sense to set active_mem_bp with 10002. It also requires module parameters write permission to reproduce the issue. That said, the consequence is quite bad. One reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below: # cd /sys/module/damon_lru_sort/parameters # echo 1000 > wmarks_high # echo 995 > wmarks_mid # echo 0 > wmarks_low # echo 10002 > active_mem_bp # echo Y > enabled # dmesg -w [...] [ 597.421247] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 597.428848] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480 This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-08-04mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn raceLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)1-14/+29
Patch series "mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn race", v2. There is a subtle race in the reference-counted huge_zero_folio implementation. The fast path atomic logic fails to account for the fact that the shrinker (which drops the final huge_zero_refcount pin) can overwrite huge_zero_pfn with the ~0UL sentinel value in shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() after a racing get_huge_zero_folio() installed a valid value there. This results in huge_zero_folio being correctly set but huge_zero_pfn being set incorrectly and thus is_huge_zero_pfn() and consequently is_huge_zero_pmd() will misidentify the huge zero folio as being an ordinary THP folio. This can result in the huge zero folio being split and otherwise treated incorrectly. The solution to this is very subtle as there is an atomic fast path, and thus ordering in weakly ordered architectures has to be treated very carefully. The first commit fixes the issue by introducing a spinlock around huge_zero_[pfn, folio, refcount] write, with careful consideration paid to load/store ordering in the fast path. It is placed first and kept as small as possible so that it can be backported on its own. The second commit is a pure cleanup which reworks the CONFIG_PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO logic to better separate the persistent logic from the dynamically allocated one. This patch (of 2): If !CONFIG_PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO, the huge_zero_folio is refcounted by huge_zero_refcount and returned by mm_get_huge_zero_folio(). When the caller is done with the huge zero page, its reference count is decremented. Only a shrinker can set the reference count to zero. A race can unfortunately occur between a shrinker decrementing the reference count to zero and a concurrent page fault. This is because shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() might, if very unlucky, be preempted between setting huge_zero_refcount to zero and writing an invalid value. During this time get_huge_zero_folio() could write to huge_zero_pfn before shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() resumes. In this event the huge zero folio will be persistently misidentified causing the THP code path to be entered inappropriately for the huge zero folio: CPU 0 CPU 1 =======================================|================================= shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() | atomic_cmpxchg() sets refcount to 0 | xchg() sets huge_zero_folio to NULL | get_huge_zero_folio() | | atomic_inc_not_zero() -> zero preempted for a long time | Allocate new huge zero folio | | Write valid huge_zero_folio v | Write valid huge_zero_pfn Overwrite huge_zero_pfn with ~0UL <--- Invalid overwrite! This results in is_huge_zero_pfn() and is_huge_zero_pmd() incorrectly returning false for a huge zero page which could result in issues like the huge zero folio being incorrectly split. Note that the issue is with huge_zero_pfn not huge_zero_folio, as get_huge_zero_folio() uses cmpxchg() gated on huge_zero_folio being NULL with a retry loop and shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() uses xchg() to set huge_zero_folio. Fix the issue by introducing a spinlock, huge_zero_lock, to prevent concurrent write of huge_zero_folio, huge_zero_pfn and huge_zero_refcount. There needs to be significant care taken here to ensure correctness: The fast path in get_huge_zero_folio() uses atomic_inc_not_zero(), which is outside of the critical section, and means huge zero allocation is gated on zero huge_zero_refcount. The fast path doesn't use huge_zero_lock, so the critical section is irrelevant to it. So invariants are required - huge_zero_refcount MUST: * Only be set in the huge_zero_lock critical section to ensure serialisation of huge_zero_pfn, huge_zero_folio and huge_zero_refcount writes. * Be set non-zero only AFTER huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set to valid values so installation of the huge zero folio on read page fault ensures concurrent is_huge_zero_*() calls correctly identify the huge zero folio. * Be set zero only BEFORE huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set to NULL and ~0UL respectively, and atomically. Establish these by: * Only setting huge_zero_refcount to zero or an absolute value in the huge_zero_lock critical section in get_huge_zero_folio() and shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan(), and always updating atomically there and elsewhere. * Using atomic_set_release(&huge_zero_refcount) in get_huge_zero_folio() after huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set. This is paired with atomic_inc_not_zero() to ensure atomic_inc_not_zero() only observes a non-zero value if huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set. * Using atomic_cmpxchg() in shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() (as before) to ensure that it is set zero only when equal to 1 and set atomically. * atomic_cmpxchg() being fully ordered ensures this is done prior to huge_zero_[folio, pfn] being set to NULL and ~0UL respectively. Eliminate the retry loop in get_huge_zero_folio() as the atomic_cmpxchg() in shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() is now performed under the lock, and replace with an equally locked atomic_inc() to set the reference count should the caller be raced on huge zero folio installation. folio_put() naturally implies a full memory barrier so its ordering is maintained correctly. The huge zero folio also cannot be released except when the shrinker does so as it is non-LRU and non-rmappable. Note that only the huge zero shrinker (via shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan()) can actually set huge_zero_refcount to zero, which is the count of mm's which have at least one huge zero folio installed plus one shrinker pin. Additionally convert a BUG_ON() to a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE().

2026-08-04mm/filemap: __filemap_add_folio() restore index before retryingHugh Dickins1-0/+6
In __filemap_add_folio()'s split-a-conflict loop, xas_set_order() is applied repeatedly: each application modifies xas.xa_index, rounding it down according to the split_order attempted at that stage: and if all goes as intended, it eventually (or immediately) converges on an xas_try_split() to the required folio_order, with xas.xa_index now the same as index: then xas_store() puts the new folio into the xarray there. But if a new node was needed, and GFP_NOWAIT allocation did not get one, the lock is dropped, xas_nomem() used to allocate, and sequence retried. If (that part of) the xarray is unchanged when the lock is reacquired, no problem. But what if the conflict was meanwhile resolved by another thread (perhaps even doing the same thing, inserting a folio at that same index)? Isn't there a danger of now putting our folio into the xarray at an intermediate rounded-down index? With !folio_contains() bug to follow, when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y is checking for that. Fix this with an xas_set_order() to restore the original xas.xa_index at the bottom of the loop, so the retry does a full re-evaluation after reacquiring the lock, and cannot reach xas_store() with the wrong index. Production was suffering from rare SIGILLs and SIGSEGVs, executable text found a page away from where it belonged, !folio_contains() bug hit when debug enabled: symptoms not seen since this patch went in.

2026-08-04mm/ptdump: always stabilise against page table freeing using init_mmLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)2-5/+16
Previous commits have established the invariant that kernel page table freeing is performed while an mmap read lock on init_mm is held, which fixes races between ptdump and kernel page table freeing over init_mm. However, x86 and arm64 can perform a ptdump over an mm other than init_mm via ptdump_walk_pgd() and since kernel memory ranges are shared across non-kernel mm's, this means that the race still exists for these cases. Fix this by acquiring a nested mmap write lock for init_mm in ptdump_walk_pgd(). This is safe as we take this after mmap write locking the mm, and nothing acquires the init_mm lock first before locking an arbitrary mm, so no deadlock is possible. Also update walk_page_range_debug() to assert that init_mm is write locked, add a comment explaining why and remove some redundant code, and eliminate the unnecessary and confusing invocation of walk_kernel_page_table_range(). We can safely remove the non-NULL check for walk.mm, as the mmap lock asserts would NULL pointer deref if it was (and of course no callers do this). The first point at which ptdump can race kernel page table freeing is commit b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page table"), so we target this in the Fixes tag.

2026-08-04mm/vmalloc: acquire init_mm lock on huge vmap to avoid ptdump UAFLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)2-19/+52
Patch series "mm: fix UAF caused by race between ptdump and vmap pgtable freeing", v6. Kernel page table walkers fall into two broad categories - those ranges where no exclusion is required via walk_kernel_page_table_range_lockless() and those where exclusion is required via walk_kernel_page_table_range() or walk_page_range_debug(). The former category is used only by arm64 arch code operating on ranges it both wholly owns and does not concurrently write. The latter category consists of kernel page table walkers operating on ranges that are wholly owned (but which need exclusion against concurrent writers). The lock used for exclusion is the mmap lock, and for kernel ranges this is the mmap lock on init_mm. ptdump is a special case being both the only user of walk_page_range_debug(), and the only case in which it walks ranges it does not own. This presents a problem, as page tables may be freed under ptdump. And indeed there is a use-after-free bug in the kernel as a result, which this series addresses. vmap promotes page tables to huge leaf entries where possible, freeing the lower page table when it does. It does this with no meaningful locks held against concurrent ptdump walks. As a result, use-after-free can currently occur. This series addresses the issue by having the vmap huge promotion logic acquire the mmap read lock while both setting the huge page table entry and freeing the prior leaf page table. The ptdump code already acquires the mmap write lock, so by doing so we ensure that the ptdump walker only ever observes either the huge page table entry or the existing page table entry, and nothing is freed underneath it. A mitigation for this issue was already applied for arm64 in commit fa93b45fd397 ("arm64: Enable vmalloc-huge with ptdump"), which this series has to deal with carefully. This mitigation resolves the issue by acquiring the mmap read lock on init_mm on vmap page table free if a ptdump is in progress. However the fix in this series would cause a deadlock if we were to simply apply it for arm64 without also reverting the change. This is because vmap may acquire the read lock before ptdump attempts to acquire the write lock, which then gets queued, and rwsem starvation rules mean that the (unacknowledged) nested mmap read lock in the arm64 code would also block, meaning the original read lock is never released and thus deadlock. This series works around this by #ifndef CONFIG_ARM64'ing the mmap read lock in vmap logic, then partially reverting commit fa93b45fd397 ("arm64: Enable vmalloc-huge with ptdump"), keeping the enablement of huge vmap support, and removing the ifdeffery with the partial revert patch. There are related issues that are also addressed in this series: * x86 page attribute logic, specifically Change Page Attributes (CPA), implements a feature whereby huge ranges can be collapsed into huge leaf entries. This can similarly cause a UAF when done in parallel with a ptdump walk, so similarly acquire the init_mm mmap lock to avoid this. * The CPA logic allows concurrent page table manipulation and CPA collapse, meaning the former risks accessing a page table the latter frees. Fix this by acquiring mmap write lock on init_mm across the whole CPA collapse operation and read lock on the page table manipulation. * x86 and arm64 permit walks of non-kernel mm's (both allowing efi mm walks, and in x86's case arbitrary mm's), so we ensure kernel mappings remain stable by locking the init_mm as well as the mm being walked. The ordering of patches is established for both strict dependencies (the arm64 partial revert in particular has to be done after the vmap changes) and logical ones (the non-kernel mm fix only makes sense once the vmap/CPA fixes are in place). This patch (of 3): Currently there is a nasty race between ptdump and vmap when attempting to map a huge P4D, PUD or PMD entry: * ptdump walks kernel page table ranges it doesn't own. * When vmap maps ranges it tries to promotes existing ones to huge page tables in vmap_try_huge_[p4d,pud,pmd]() at P4D, PUD and PMD level, freeing the lower page table in [p4d,pud,pmd]_free_[pud,pmd,pte]_page() when it succeeds. Both of these things can happen at the same time and as a result ptdump can access a freed page table, resulting in a use-after-free and memory corruption. This is possible because while ptdump_walk_pgd() holds both the mem hotplug lock and the mmap write lock before invoking walk_page_range_debug(), vmap takes no relevant locks at all. Fix this by holding the mmap read lock in vmap_try_huge_*() when freeing page tables. The read lock is sufficient: ptdump is the only walker that must be excluded and it holds the mmap write lock. Other holders of the read lock may run concurrently, but each exclusively owns the range it operates on and cannot reach the page tables freed here. We also hold the lock while assigning the huge page table entry, which means page table walkers observe only the huge or non-huge page table entry. We use a trylock to prevent ptdump from blocking vmap making forward progress. This is fine because it's an optimisation in any case, and thus the vmap can safely proceed regardless. All other kernel page table walkers that touch vmalloc ranges either exclusively own the memory walked or acquire the mmap lock, so this correctly excludes those walkers. One wrinkle here is commit fa93b45fd397 ("arm64: Enable vmalloc-huge with ptdump"), which addresses the issue for arm64 only by explicitly acquiring the mmap read lock on kernel page table freeing should a concurrent ptdump be in progress. This is problematic as vmap may acquire the mmap read lock prior to ptdump attempting to acquire an mmap write lock, leading to a deadlock when the mmap read lock is slept upon on page table freeing due to rwsem anti-starvation. We work around this by predicating the mmap lock being taken on !CONFIG_ARM64 for the time being. With this patch applied, a follow up will partially revert commit fa93b45fd397 ("arm64: Enable vmalloc-huge with ptdump") and at that stage remove the arm64 ifdeffery. We also update walk_page_range_debug() to assert the mmap write lock unconditionally and update the comment here to reflect this change. The issue has existed as long as ptdump was available and vmap freed page tables when promoting to a huge leaf entry, that is, since commit b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page table") for huge ioremap, and commit 121e6f3258fe ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") for huge vmalloc. Since the former is the earlier of the two we choose that for our Fixes tag. We also define a guard class for mmap_read_trylock() so we can use cleanup.h to make the scope handling cleaner in the implementation. This patch is based on work by David Carlier (linked), with gratitude!

2026-08-04mm/rmap: refactor some code around lazyfree folio unmappingDev Jain1-39/+48
For lazyfree folio unmapping, after clearing the ptes we must abort the operation if the folio got dirtied or it has unexpected references. Refactor this logic into a function which will return whether we need to abort or not. If we abort, we restore the ptes and bail out of try_to_unmap_one. Otherwise adjust the rss stats of the mm and jump to a label. Also rename that label from "discard" to "finish_unmap"; the former is appropriate in the lazyfree context, but the code following the label is executed for other successful unmap code paths too, so 'discard' does not sound correct for them.

2026-08-04mm/rmap: add try_to_unmap_poisoned_hugetlb_oneDev Jain1-83/+97
Simplify try_to_unmap_one() by separating the hugetlb parts into try_to_unmap_poisoned_hugetlb_one(). To understand the correctness of the refactoring, the following points are noted: 1. try_to_unmap() is called for hugetlb folios only when they are hwpoisoned. 2. A hugetlb VMA cannot be mlocked. 3. page_vma_mapped_walk() returns at most one hugetlb mapping in a VMA, and that mapping points at the head PFN. 4. We won't ever process a softleaf entry that encodes a hugetlb folio; hugetlb folios are never swapped out, migration entries will be skipped (PVMW_MIGRATION not passed), and device-exclusive does not work for hugetlb. 5. The hwpoison entry is constructed from the poisoned folio, just as in the pre-refactor code. Any previous uffd-wp state is deliberately not preserved for the hwpoison entry. 6. TTU_HWPOISON is always present; for it to not be present, either the folio has to be in swapcache, or mapping_can_writeback() is true (see unmap_poisoned_folio), none of which is true for hugetlb folios. 7. Hugetlb uses separate counters from normal rss counters, therefore update_highwater_rss() need not be called. While at it: - Change VM_BUG_* to VM_WARN_*. - Do not declare variables which are only used once. - Constify some variables. - Add some more VM_WARN_* to assert some invariants. Except the above 4 points, no functional change intended.

2026-08-04mm/rmap: convert page -> folio for hwpoison checksDev Jain1-4/+6
Patch series "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one", v4. In preparation for batching anonymous large folio unmapping to optimize it, refactor try_to_unmap_one. This series refactors hugetlb, anon-lazyfree and anon-swapbacked logic into their own functions, significantly reducing the length of the huge try_to_unmap_one. This patch (of 5): try_to_unmap() receives hugetlb folios only from the hwpoison path. hugetlb_update_hwpoison() sets the hugetlb folio's head-page hwpoison bit, and page_vma_mapped_walk() reports the hugetlb mapping at the head PFN, so the previous PageHWPoison(subpage) check happened to work for hugetlb. For non-hugetlb folios, unmap_poisoned_folio() currently rejects large folios before calling try_to_unmap(). Hence it is always the case that if try_to_unmap_one() handles an hwpoisoned folio, then the head page is marked with the poison bit. Therefore, convert the poisoned subpage checks to folio_test_hwpoison(). No functional change intended, except that, while at it, convert VM_BUG_* to VM_WARN_*.

2026-08-04mm/mempolicy: skip non-present PMDs when queueing foliosUsama Arif1-3/+5
Patch series "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks", v3. Since commit 368076f52ebe ("mm/huge_memory: add device-private THP support to PMD operations") a PMD may hold a device-private swap entry whenever an HMM-based GPU driver migrates an anonymous THP folio to device memory via migrate_vma_pages(). pmd_trans_huge_lock() succeeds for such PMDs (pmd_is_huge() returns true for any non-present, non-none huge PMD), so several MM walk callbacks that used to assume present THP or migration entry are now reachable with a device-private PMD. The results range from a VM_BUG_ON() firing on debug kernels, to an oops on a bogus vmemmap dereference, to silently isolating an unrelated live folio from LRU in the aliasing case. This patch (of 3): queue_folios_pmd() is called under pmd_trans_huge_lock(), whose pmd_is_huge() check returns true for any non-present, non-none PMD softleaf. Passing such a PMD to pmd_folio() treats the softleaf encoding as a hardware PFN and can return a bogus folio pointer. Mirror queue_folios_pte_range(): handle non-present entries before looking up a folio. Keep migration entries counted as failures, but skip other non-present PMDs such as device-private entries. Potential trigger: an HMM-based GPU driver migrates an anonymous THP folio to device memory via migrate_vma_pages(), leaving a device-private PMD. Userspace then calls mbind(), migrate_pages() or set_mempolicy_home_node() on that range.

2026-08-04mm/vma: correct incorrect vma.h inclusionLorenzo Stoakes7-7/+25
The only files which should be including vma.h are the implementation files for the core VMA logic - vma.c, vma_init.c, and vma_exec.c. This is in order to allow for userland testing of core VMA logic. In this cases, vma_internal.h and vma.h are included, providing both the dependencies upon which the core VMA logic requires and its declarations. Userland testable VMA logic is achieved by having separate vma_internal.h implementations for userland and kernel. Callers other than the core VMA implementation should include internal.h instead. This header does not need to include vma_internal.h as it only contains the vma.h declarations, for which the includes already present suffice.

2026-08-04mm/vma: introduce and use vma_set_pgoff()Lorenzo Stoakes3-11/+40
In order to lay the foundation for work that permits us to track the virtual page offset of MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings, we abstract the assignment of vma->vm_pgoff to vma_set_pgoff(). We additionally add a lock check here using the newly introduced vma_assert_can_modify(). This asserts the VMA write lock if the VMA is attached. We also assert that, if this is an anonymous VMA and unfaulted, that its (virtual) page offset is equal to the page offset of the VMA's address. We must be careful about MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero which violates fundamental assumptions about anonymous memory, so we check for !vma->vm_file after using vma_is_anonymous() which these mappings satisfy. Additionally, we only perform the assert if CONFIG_MMU is defined, as nommu does not set vma->vm_pgoff = addr >> PAGE_SHIFT. This isn't really relevant to rmap as it has no anon rmap (nor needs it), but we must avoid it asserting falsely. All of this logic is kept in assert_sane_pgoff() to keep things clear. In order to maintain correctness given this assert, we also update __install_special_mapping() to invoke vma_set_range() after it's set vma->vm_ops (which determine whether the VMA is anonymous or not). We do not use vma_set_pgoff() in vm_area_init_from(), as at the point of forking, we don't necessarily have correct locking state. Updating vma_set_range() covers most cases, but in addition to this we also update insert_vm_struct(), compat_set_vma_from_desc() and nommu callers. We also update vma_add_pgoff() and vma_sub_pgoff() to use vma_set_pgoff(). While we're here, we drop a BUG_ON() and update insert_vm_struct()'s comment to reflect the fact anonymous mappings can be added here. Finally, we update the CONFIG_MMU, CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK defines in the VMA userland tests so IS_ENABLED() will work correctly with them. No functional change intended.

2026-08-04mm/vma: update vmg_adjust_set_range() to offset pgoff insteadLorenzo Stoakes1-11/+4
We are calculating the pgoff as an offset, since we have vma_add_pgoff() and vma_sub_pgoff() available, just offset this value directly and use __vma_set_range() for vma->vm_[start, end] values. We take care to update the range before offsetting the page offset, so the adjusted VMA's vm_start and vm_pgoff are mutually consistent at the point the page offset helpers operate - this matters once vma_set_pgoff() comes to assert invariants which relate the two. Doing so lays the foundation for future work which allows for use of virtual page offsets for MAP_PRIVATE-file backed mappings. No functional change intended.

2026-08-04mm/vma: update vma_shrink() to not pass start, pgoff parametersLorenzo Stoakes3-17/+19
vma_shrink() is only used by relocate_vma_down() to shrink the tail of a VMA. Therefore neither the start nor the pgoff parameters make any sense. It seemed we were passing the pgoff parameter solely to satisfy vma_set_range()'s requirement for pgoff being specified. Since vma_set_range() is now isolated to vma.c, we can simply introduce __vma_set_range() which sets only vma->vm_[start, end], and invoke this instead, removing start and pgoff from vma_shrink() altogether.

This function is operating on VMAs and rightly belongs in vma.c, where it can be subject to VMA userland testing and allows us to isolate it from the rest of mm. The _install_special_mapping() function will remain in mmap.c as a wrapper, since this is used by architecture-specific code. Doing so allows us to isolate more functions in vma.c for the same reasons. This forms part of work to allow for tracking MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings by their anonymous virtual page offset, as doing so allows us to isolate and keep code that interacts with this together.

2026-08-04mm/vma: use vma_start_pgoff(), linear_page_index() in mm codeLorenzo Stoakes21-80/+83
There are many instances in which linear_page_index() (as well as linear_page_delta()) is open-coded, which is confusing and inconsistent. Additionally, vma->vm_pgoff doesn't necessarily make it clear that this is the page offset of the start of the VMA range. Doing so also aids greppability. So use vma_start_pgoff() in favour of directly accessing vma->vm_pgoff, and linear_page_index() where we can. This also lays the ground for future changes which will add an anonymous page offset in order to be able to index MAP_PRIVATE-file backed anon folios in terms of their virtual page offset.
