<id>6b7460ad1af8b10cc6b629649979d9d0d844046e</id>
<content type='text'>
Now we have introduced the VMA anonymous page offset attribute and update
it when VMAs are manipulated, update VMA merge tests to assert that the
anonymous page offset is as expected.

Also update instances where we could use vma_start_pgoff() to do so.

<title>mm: propagate VMA anonymous page offset on map, remap, split + merge</title>
<updated>2026-08-25T01:42:52+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=6a993c7fbc3e99431e148eb261c9b2e38525fce4'/>
<id>6a993c7fbc3e99431e148eb261c9b2e38525fce4</id>
<content type='text'>
We must correctly update VMA anonymous page offset state on all VMA
operations that would result in it changing, with special attention given
to remapping.

We cover most cases by simply updating vma_set_range() to do so (with a
new anonymous page offset parameter), but also notably must update the
merging and mapping logic to propagate this parameter correctly.

The remap logic remains the same - we may update the anonymous page offset
if the VMA is unfaulted, but now this applies to MAP_PRIVATE file-backed
mappings too, so we update the code to reflect this.

Note that we use __linear_anon_page_index() upon remap as the VMA may be
shared, in order that we update the field consistently regardless of VMA
type.

Similarly, pass through anon page offset to the merge logic, updating the
vma_merge_struct struct to propagate it, and also use
__linear_anon_page_index() to obtain the anonymous page index so it can be
safely used for both shared and MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings.

In copy_vma(), the anonymous page offset is updated regardless of whether
the mapping is a CoW mapping or not.  This is both to keep the anonymous
page offset consistent even for non-CoW mappings (it is set so should at
least remain correct) and makes the logic cleaner.

A self-merge however remains permitted only for mappings which can have a
populated vma-&gt;anon_vma and do not require alignment on a separate file
offset - that is pure anonymous VMAs, so only set can_self_merge if
vma_is_anonymous().

Finally, we update insert_vm_struct() to correctly set the anonymous page
offset on insertion of a VMA.

We simply ensure state is correctly propagated here, so no functional
changes are intended.

Also update VMA userland tests to reflect this change.

Assert that a VMA can be moved backwards, forwards and between a preceding
VMA and its old self.

In the cases in which the VMA merges only with itself expect that to be
achieved by expanding its old self, so assert that these function
correctly.

However in the case of a merge between a preceding VMA and itself the
original VMA is removed, so assert that the preceding VMA replaces the one
passed in as vmap and the merge is as expected.

<title>mm/vma: update vma_shrink() to not pass start, pgoff parameters</title>
<updated>2026-08-05T02:19:03+00:00</updated>

<id>6387563e6ecdbd81d138525214475e66967801ab</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;vm_[start, end], and invoke this
instead, removing start and pgoff from vma_shrink() altogether.

No functional change intended.

<title>mm/vma: convert __mmap_region() to use vma_flags_t</title>
<updated>2026-04-05T20:53:41+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=90cb921c4d7bf92854344d3e76561f48784c613e'/>
<id>90cb921c4d7bf92854344d3e76561f48784c613e</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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.

<title>mm/vma: convert vma_modify_flags[_uffd]() to use vma_flags_t</title>

<id>a06eb2f8279e0b2b42799d42041f144377f5a086</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

the new VMA-specific flag clearing helpers.

Also correct some trivial formatting issue in a macro define.

<title>mm: convert do_brk_flags() to use vma_flags_t</title>

<id>3a6455d56bd7c4cfb1ea35ddae052943065e338e</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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.

Update the VMA tests to assert that vma_flags_count() behaves as expected,
as well as vma_flags_test_single_mask() and vma_test_single_mask().

For the test functions we can simply update the existing vma_test(), et
al.  test to also test the single_mask variants.

We also add some explicit testing of an empty VMA flag to this test to
ensure this is handled properly.

In order to test vma_flags_count() we simply take an existing set of flags
and gradually remove flags ensuring the count remains as expected
throughout.

We also update the vma[_flags]_test_all() tests to make clear the
semantics that we expect vma[_flags]_test_all(..., EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS) to
return true, as trivially, all flags of none are always set in VMA flags.
