Merge tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-26-15-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
(Lorenzo Stoakes)
Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
file-backed memory.
Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
improvements.
- "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
(Baolin Wang)
Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
performance.
- "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
Chen)
Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.
- "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)
Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
producer updates.
Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
60% without impacting scan throughput.
- "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)
Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.
- "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
memcg" (Zi Yan)
Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
node memory accounting.
- "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)
Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.
- "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)
Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.
- "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
Huang)
Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
reinitialization.
- "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)
Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
writeback_store() and read_block_state().
- "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)
Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.
- "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
(Muhammad Usama Anjum)
Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
retry logic for transient page migration errors.
- "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)
Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
writeback efficiency.
- "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
Baghdasaryan)
Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
aggregation.
This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
data to userspace.
- "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
(Christoph Hellwig)
Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
faster swap throughput during kernel builds.
- "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
(Catalin Marinas)
Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.
- "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
(Breno Leitao)
Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
confirming scan.
- "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)
Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
export their own swap_ops.
- "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)
khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
documentation.
- "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)
Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.
Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation
edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to
GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL.
