Chris noticed that filemap_map_pages() calculates can_map_large only once
for the first page in the fault around range.  The value is not valid for
the following pages in the range and must be recalculated.

Instead of recalculating can_map_large on each iteration, pass down
file_end to filemap_map_folio_range() and let it make the decision on what
can be mapped.

Commit c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower order pages")
introduced an early check on the folio's order via mapping-&gt;flags before
proceeding with the split work.

This check introduced a bug: for shmem folios in the swap cache and
truncated folios, the mapping pointer can be NULL.  Accessing
mapping-&gt;flags in this state leads directly to a NULL pointer dereference.

This commit fixes the issue by moving the check for mapping != NULL before
any attempt to access mapping-&gt;flags.

<title>mm/mmap_lock: reset maple state on lock_vma_under_rcu() retry</title>

<id>270065f514c5da7b3deb4f6a96cf93e96551cf35</id>
<content type='text'>
The retry in lock_vma_under_rcu() drops the rcu read lock before
reacquiring the lock and trying again.  This may cause a use-after-free if
the maple node the maple state was using was freed.

The maple state is protected by the rcu read lock.  When the lock is
dropped, the state cannot be reused as it tracks pointers to objects that
may be freed during the time where the lock was not held.

Any time the rcu read lock is dropped, the maple state must be
invalidated.  Resetting the address and state to MA_START is the safest
course of action, which will result in the next operation starting from
the top of the tree.

Prior to commit 0b16f8bed19c ("mm: change vma_start_read() to drop RCU
lock on failure"), vma_start_read() would drop rcu read lock and return
NULL, so the retry would not have happened.  However, now that
vma_start_read() drops rcu read lock on failure followed by a retry, we
may end up using a freed maple tree node cached in the maple state.

<title>mm/memfd: fix information leak in hugetlb folios</title>
<updated>2025-11-24T22:25:17+00:00</updated>

<id>de8798965fd0d9a6c47fc2ac57767ec32de12b49</id>
<content type='text'>
When allocating hugetlb folios for memfd, three initialization steps are
missing:

1. Folios are not zeroed, leading to kernel memory disclosure to userspace
2. Folios are not marked uptodate before adding to page cache
3. hugetlb_fault_mutex is not taken before hugetlb_add_to_page_cache()

The memfd allocation path bypasses the normal page fault handler
(hugetlb_no_page) which would handle all of these initialization steps. 
This is problematic especially for udmabuf use cases where folios are
pinned and directly accessed by userspace via DMA.

Fix by matching the initialization pattern used in hugetlb_no_page():
- Zero the folio using folio_zero_user() which is optimized for huge pages
- Mark it uptodate with folio_mark_uptodate()
- Take hugetlb_fault_mutex before adding to page cache to prevent races

The folio_zero_user() change also fixes a potential security issue where
uninitialized kernel memory could be disclosed to userspace through read()
or mmap() operations on the memfd.

<title>mm: swap: remove duplicate nr_swap_pages decrement in get_swap_page_of_type()</title>

<id>f5e31a196edcd1f1bb44f26b6f9299b9a5b9b3c4</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 4f78252da887, nr_swap_pages is decremented in
swap_range_alloc(). Since cluster_alloc_swap_entry() calls
swap_range_alloc() internally, the decrement in get_swap_page_of_type()
causes double-decrementing.

As a representative userspace-visible runtime example of the impact,
/proc/meminfo reports increasingly inaccurate SwapFree values.  The
discrepancy grows with each swap allocation, and during hibernation
when large amounts of memory are written to swap, the reported value
can deviate significantly from actual available swap space, misleading
users and monitoring tools.  

Remove the duplicate decrement.

 "Fix memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() for soft-reserved memory

  The "soft-reserved" memory regions (EFI_MEMORY_SP) are added to the
  memblock.reserved, but not to the memblock.memory. It causes
  memblock_estimated_nr_free_pages() to return a value smaller value
  than expected, or if it underflows, an extremely large value.

  Calculate the number of estimated free pages using
  memblock_reserved_kern_size() instead of memblock_reserved_size() to

<title>mm/huge_memory: Fix initialization of huge zero folio</title>

<id>5bebe8de19264946d398ead4e6c20c229454a552</id>
<content type='text'>
The recent fix to properly initialize the tags of the huge zero folio
had an unfortunate not-so-subtle side effect: it caused the actual
*contents* of the huge zero folio to not be initialized at all when the
hardware didn't support the memory tagging.

The reason was the unfortunate semantics of tag_clear_highpage(): on
hardware that didn't do the tagging, it would silently just not do
anything at all.  And since this is done only on arm64 with MTE support,
that basically meant most hardware.

It wasn't necessarily immediately obvious since the huge zero page isn't
necessarily very heavily used - or because it might already be zero
because all-zeroes is the most common pattern.  But it ends up causing
random odd user space failures when you do hit it.

The unfortunate semantics have been around for a while, but became a
real bug only when we started actively using __GFP_ZEROTAGS in the
generic get_huge_zero_folio() function - before that, it had only ever
been used in code that checked that the hardware supported it.

Fix this by simply changing the semantics of tag_clear_highpage() to
return whether it actually successfully did something or not.  While at
it, also make it initialize multiple pages in one go, since that's
actually what the only caller wants it to do and it simplifies the whole
logic.
