5 daysmm/page_reporting: use system_freezable_wq to fix UAF during suspendLink Lin
During PM freeze (e.g. S3 suspend or S4 hibernation), device drivers like virtio_balloon reset their underlying virtio devices and delete their virtqueues via vdev->config->del_vqs(). However, page reporting work (page_reporting_process) was scheduled on the global system_wq. Because system_wq lacks the WQ_FREEZABLE flag, the PM freezer skips it, leaving page_reporting_process active during suspend. If pages are freed into the buddy allocator while suspending (for example, when core MM invokes the balloon shrinker during S4 hibernation image saving), page reporting triggers virtballoon_free_page_report() on deleted virtqueues, resulting in a Use-After-Free / General Protection Fault: [ 196.795226] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xaa1436fe70dae6df: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 196.825967] Workqueue: events page_reporting_process [ 196.831038] RIP: 0010:virtqueue_add_split+0x233/0x4c0 [virtio_ring] [ 196.927073] virtballoon_free_page_report+0x3a/0xe0 [virtio_balloon] [ 196.946943] page_reporting_process+0x370/0x4f0 Fix this by switching page reporting work to system_freezable_wq. This ensures that the PM freezer pauses page_reporting_process before device drivers destroy their reporting virtqueues. Because the reporting worker is frozen, memory reclamation/freeing (e.g. via shrinker execution) can safely return pages to MM during freeze without triggering unfrozen reporting work on deleted virtqueues. This aligns with the driver's existing design. The comment in virtballoon_freeze() states: /* * The workqueue is already frozen by the PM core before this * function is called. */ Testing: I have verified these fixes using Google’s virtualization infrastructure by running continuous suspend/resume iterations (40+ cycles) while churning memory using stress-ng (`stress-ng --vm 4 --vm-bytes 60% --timeout 1`) to constantly create free pages for the buddy allocator. We also set the `page_reporting_order` parameter to 0 to make the page reporting worker highly sensitive, forcing it to pick up any 4K free pages. This confirmed that the UAF crashes are no longer reproducible.

5 daysmm: vmscan: abort proactive reclaim early when freezing for suspendRichard Chang
Proactive reclaim (triggered via memory.reclaim or node sysfs) checks for pending signals in its outer loop in user_proactive_reclaim(). However, the inner reclaim loops—specifically scanning cgroups in shrink_many() and evicting/aging folios in try_to_shrink_lruvec()—can run for a long time before returning to the outer loop, especially on systems with many cgroups or large memory sizes. During system suspend, the PM freezer attempts to freeze all tasks by sending fake signals (setting TIF_SIGPENDING). Because the inner loops do not check for pending signals, the proactive reclaim task can remain stuck in kernel space for seconds, failing to enter the refrigerator in a timely manner. This leads to suspend failures due to freeze timeouts, a behavior observed on Android devices. This latency issue is specific to proactive reclaim because of its large, user-defined reclaim targets (could be gigabytes). Since commit 287d5fedb377 ("mm: memcg: use larger batches for proactive reclaim"), proactive reclaim uses larger decaying batch sizes (starting at 1/4 of the remaining target) to maintain throughput. This keeps the task in the inner reclaim loop for extended periods. In contrast, reactive reclaim (global/memcg) uses small targets (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, typically 32 pages), allowing it to return to the outer loop and check signals frequently. To fix this, add a signal_pending() check to should_abort_scan() for proactive reclaim paths. Since should_abort_scan() is called within the inner scanning and eviction loops, this allows proactive reclaim to abort early and return to the outer loop in user_proactive_reclaim(). Additionally, return -ERESTARTSYS instead of -EINTR in user_proactive_reclaim(). When interrupted by system suspend, returning -ERESTARTSYS allows the task to enter the refrigerator and automatically restart the syscall upon resume, making the freezer transparent to userspace. For real signals, the signal layer will either restart the syscall (if SA_RESTART is set) or return -EINTR to userspace. This fix specifically targets Multi-Gen LRU (MGLRU). Classic LRU's scan targets per iteration are strictly bounded by get_scan_count(), which ensures it returns to the outer loop more frequently. The check in should_abort_scan() is limited to proactive reclaim (sc->proactive) to avoid inadvertently affecting reactive reclaim paths, and is wrapped in unlikely() as it is a slow path.

5 daysmm/huge_memory: unlock i_mmap_rwsem before releasing after-split foliosKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
__folio_split() keeps dereferencing the mapping after the split: shmem_uncharge(mapping->host) and remap_page() while the folios are still frozen/locked, and i_mmap_unlock_read(mapping) at the very end, after the after-split folios have been unlocked and freed. Nothing holds an inode reference across that. The split relies on @folio -- which the beyond-EOF drop loop never removes, as it starts at folio_next(folio) -- staying locked and in the page cache to hold off eviction. But the unlock loop unlocks @folio before i_mmap_unlock_read() runs. If the caller's @lock_at is a tail beyond EOF, as memory_failure() passes when splitting a poisoned tail of a shmem THP that reaches past i_size during truncation, it too is gone from the page cache; so once @folio is unlocked no locked, in-cache folio pins the inode, and a concurrent final iput() can evict and RCU-free it before i_mmap_unlock_read() touches i_mmap_rwsem: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __up_read+0x634/0x790 i_mmap_unlock_read include/linux/fs.h:537 [inline] __folio_split+0x732/0x1640 mm/huge_memory.c:4100 try_to_split_thp_page+0xab/0x390 mm/memory-failure.c:1675 memory_failure+0x1394/0x26e0 mm/memory-failure.c:2470 Freed by task 4601: shmem_free_in_core_inode+0x54/0xb0 mm/shmem.c:5177 evict+0x57f/0xac0 fs/inode.c:870 Do every mapping dereference while @folio still pins the inode: drop i_mmap_rwsem right after remap_page(), before the loop that unlocks and frees the after-split folios, and clear @mapping so the exit path does not unlock it again. shmem_uncharge() and remap_page() already run before that point, so after this nothing past the unlock loop touches the inode or the mapping. This is now a rule the split depends on, alongside keeping @folio frozen until the page cache is updated: no inode or mapping dereference once the after-split folios start being unlocked.

5 daysmm/migrate: exclude hugetlb folios from MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON accountingNico Pache
__folio_migrate_mapping() increments MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON for the destination folio when `folio_test_anon(folio) && folio_test_large(folio)` is true. However, hugetlb folios satisfy both conditions despite having a completely separate accounting system — they use hugetlb_add_anon_rmap() which does not touch mTHP stats, and their free path also bypasses the mTHP decrement in __free_pages_prepare(). This causes MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON to be incremented on each hugetlb migration without a corresponding decrement, permanently inflating the nr_anon counter. Add a !folio_test_hugetlb() check to __folio_migrate_mapping() so that only actual mTHP folios are counted.

5 daysmm: decrement MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON in free_zone_device_folio()Nico Pache
Patch series "mm: fix PMD level mTHP accounting bugs", v2. While running selftests I noticed the PMD level per-mTHP stats (nr_anon) remained elevated after each run. After further investigation I noticed this accounting error occurs for both the migration.private_anon_htlb_test and the HMM tests. In the HMM case this is due to folio_add_new_anon_rmap() incrementing the mTHP stats, but never containing a corresponding decrement in free_zone_device_folio(). We solve this by making sure to decrement the counter when freeing device memory. In the migration case, we are incrementing this counter without first checking whether this folio is a hugetlb folio, which relies on a separate accounting system. We solve this by adding the proper hugetlb check before incrementing this counter. With these changes in place, the two tests no longer cause elevated PMD level accounting issues. This patch (of 2): When a zone device folio is mapped as anonymous, folio_add_new_anon_rmap() increments MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON. The corresponding decrement lives in __free_pages_prepare() in page_alloc.c, but zone device folios are freed via free_zone_device_folio() which never calls __free_pages_prepare(). This causes nr_anon to remain permanently elevated after zone device folios are freed. Add the missing mod_mthp_stat() decrement to free_zone_device_folio() so that the counter is properly balanced.

5 daysmm: memcg: initialize *locked in memcg1_oom_prepare() stubBreno Leitao
mem_cgroup_oom() passes an uninitialized "locked" to memcg1_oom_prepare() and reads it back in memcg1_oom_finish(): bool locked, ret; ... if (!memcg1_oom_prepare(memcg, &locked)) return false; ret = mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(memcg, mask, order); memcg1_oom_finish(memcg, locked); This relies on memcg1_oom_prepare() setting *locked whenever it returns true. The CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=y version does, but the stub used when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=n returns true without touching *locked, so memcg1_oom_finish() consumes an uninitialized value. On a memcg OOM this is reported by UBSAN: UBSAN: invalid-load in mm/memcontrol.c:1932:27 load of value 0 is not a valid value for type 'bool' (aka '_Bool') Initialize *locked to false in the stub; with cgroup v1 compiled out there is no OOM lock to take.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - vfs: Preserve the ACL_DONT_CACHE state in forget_cached_acl(). ACL_DONT_CACHE is meant to be a permanent opt-out from ACL caching which FUSE relies on for servers that don't negotiate FUSE_POSIX_ACL. The helper replaced it with ACL_NOT_CACHED, silently re-enabling the cache, and as fuse doesn't invalidate the cache for such servers a properly timed get_acl() returned stale ACLs. Comes with a fuse selftest reproducing this. - pidfs: - Preserve PIDFD_THREAD when a thread pidfd is reopened via open_by_handle_at(). PIDFD_THREAD shares the O_EXCL bit which do_dentry_open() strips after the flags have been validated, so the reopened pidfd silently became a process pidfd. Comes with a selftest. - Add a pidfs_dentry_open() helper so the regular pidfd allocation path and the file handle path share the code that forces O_RDWR and reapplies the pidfd flags that do_dentry_open() strips. - Handle FS_IOC32_GETVERSION in the compat ioctl path. - Make pidfs_ino_lock static. - iomap: - Fix the block range calculation in ifs_clear_range_dirty() so a partial clear doesn't drop the dirty state of blocks the range only partially covers. - Support invalidating partial folios so a partial truncate or hole punch with blocksize < foliosize doesn't leave stale dirty bits behind. - Only set did_zero when iomap_zero_iter() actually zeroed something. - Guard ifs_set_range_dirty() and ifs_set_range_uptodate() against zero-length ranges where the unsigned last-block calculation underflows and bitmap_set() writes far beyond the ifs->state allocation. - Don't merge ioends with different io_private values as the merge could leak or corrupt the private data of the individual ioends. - exec: - Raise bprm->have_execfd only once the binfmt_misc interpreter has actually been opened. The flag was set as soon as a matching 'O' or 'C' entry was found. If the interpreter open failed with ENOEXEC the exec fell through to the next binary format with have_execfd raised but no executable staged and begin_new_exec() NULL derefed past the point of no return. - Fix an unsigned loop counter wrap in transfer_args_to_stack() on nommu. An overlong argument or environment string pushes bprm->p below PAGE_SIZE, the stop index becomes zero, and the loop never terminates, wrapping its counter and copying garbage from in front of the page array into the new process stack. - Make binfmt_elf_fdpic only honour the first PT_INTERP like binfmt_elf does. Each additional PT_INTERP overwrote the previous interpreter, leaking the name allocation and the interpreter file reference together with the write denial open_exec() took, leaving the file unwritable for as long as the system runs. - overlayfs: - Compare the full escaped xattr prefix including the trailing dot. An xattr like "trusted.overlay.overlayfoo" was misclassified as an escaped overlay xattr. - Check read access to the copy_file_range() source with the source's mounter credentials. - super: Thawing a filesystem whose block device was frozen with bdev_freeze() deadlocked. Dropping the last block layer freeze reference from under s_umount ends up in fs_bdev_thaw() which reacquires s_umount on the same task. Pin the superblock with an active reference instead and call bdev_thaw() without holding s_umount. - procfs: Return EACCES instead of success when the ptrace access check for namespace links fails. - afs: Use afs_dir_get_block() rather than afs_dir_find_block() for block 0 in afs_edit_dir_remove(), matching afs_edit_dir_add(). - Push the memcg gating of ->nr_cached_objects() down into the btrfs and shmem callbacks instead of skipping every callback during non-root memcg reclaim. The blanket check short-circuited XFS whose inode reclaim hook is intentionally driven from per-memcg contexts to free memcg-charged slab. - eventpoll: Pin files while checking reverse paths.

11 daysfs: push nr_cached_objects memcg gating into individual filesystemsUsama Arif
Commit 0baad6f9b997 ("fs/super: skip non-memcg-aware nr_cached_objects in memcg slab shrink") added a check in fs/super.c that skipped every ->nr_cached_objects() hook whenever the shrinker was invoked for a non-root memcg, on the assumption that none of them honour sc->memcg. That assumption is wrong for XFS, whose inode-reclaim hook is intentionally driven from per-memcg contexts to free memcg-charged slab. Encoding a blanket "never memcg-aware" policy in fs/super.c short-circuits that path. Push the check down into the callbacks whose counters really are irrelevant to per-memcg reclaim - btrfs_nr_cached_objects() and shmem_unused_huge_count() - and drop the fs/super.c gate. Each filesystem can now lift the restriction independently if its counter later grows memcg awareness, without touching fs/super.c. Introduce mem_cgroup_shrink_is_root() in <linux/memcontrol.h> so the callbacks don't open-code "sc->memcg is NULL or root".

13 daysmm/hugetlb: fix list corruption in allocate_file_region_entries()Xiangfeng Cai
allocate_file_region_entries() tops up resv->region_cache with freshly allocated file_region descriptors. The allocation uses GFP_KERNEL, so resv->lock is dropped around it: the new entries are gathered on a stack-local list head, allocated_regions, and spliced into resv->region_cache once the lock is re-acquired. The splice used list_splice(), which moves the entries but does not re-initialize the source head, so allocated_regions is left pointing at an entry that now lives on resv->region_cache. The top-up runs in a while loop that re-checks the cache deficit after re-acquiring the lock. For a shared mapping the resv_map is shared by every mapper of the hugetlbfs inode, so a concurrent region_chg()/region_add()/region_del() on the same resv_map can consume cache entries during the unlocked window and force a second iteration. That iteration calls list_add() on the stale head and corrupts the list; with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST the __list_add_valid() check trips: list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffffc900011ff7f8), but was ffff88814c281460. (next=ffff88814c545640). kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:31! allocate_file_region_entries+0x191/0x420 region_chg+0x267/0x300 hugetlb_reserve_pages+0x387/0xc80 hugetlbfs_file_mmap+0x2ce/0x3f0 mmap_region+0x1348/0x1a80 do_mmap+0x85e/0xb90 vm_mmap_pgoff+0x18c/0x330 ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x2a1/0x3e0 do_syscall_64+0xd7/0x420 Without CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST the bad list_add() silently links a kernel-stack address into resv->region_cache, leading to later use-after-free. This was observed as a real host panic on a dense KVM host where a QEMU guest-RAM hugetlbfs file was mapped MAP_SHARED by both QEMU and a separate SPDK/DPDK vhost-user target, generating concurrent region_* traffic on one shared resv_map. Use list_splice_init() so the source head is re-initialized empty after each splice, making the retry loop safe.

The mglru page table walker batches per-generation size deltas in walk->nr_pages while walking page tables without holding the lruvec lock. The reset_batch_size() later folds those deltas into walk->lruvec under the lruvec lock. The page table walker can run concurrently with the memcg reparenting path as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ==== ==== walk_mm --> walk_page_range --> update_batch_size --> walk->nr_pages += delta mem_cgroup_css_offline --> memcg_reparent_objcgs --> lock lruvec lru_gen_reparent_memcg --> reparent child folios to parent unlock lruvec lock lruvec reset_batch_size --> child lrugen->nr_pages += delta This will trigger the following warning in lru_gen_exit_memcg(): VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(memchr_inv(lruvec->lrugen.nr_pages, 0, sizeof(lruvec->lrugen.nr_pages))); And the user-visible impact of underestimated nr_pages in MGLRU was premature OOMs because MGLRU does not try to reclaim memory when nr_pages reaches zero, but there are still more pages. To fix it, make reset_batch_size() check CSS_DYING under RCU before flushing the pending batch. A non-dying memcg keeps the original lruvec stable against RCU-delayed offlining; a dying memcg redirects the deltas to the first non-dying ancestor.

13 daysmm/percpu-km: fix bitmap overflow and accounting in pcpu_create_chunk()Zi Yan
In pcpu_create_chunk(), nr_pages is the total contiguous backing allocation, i.e., nr_units * pcpu_unit_pages, but pcpu_chunk_populated() uses it to set chunk->populated, whose size is pcpu_unit_pages, bitmap. Since bit N in chunk->populated means page offset N inside every unit is backed. When nr_units > 1, the function writes beyond chunk->populated. Fix it by using chunk->nr_pages. It also fixes the global pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages accounting, since pcpu_balance_free() only iterates up to chunk->nr_pages. Commit a63d4ac4ab609 ("percpu: make percpu-km set chunk->populated bitmap properly") introduced the bitmap overflow issue. Later, commit b539b87fed37f ("percpu: implmeent pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages and chunk->nr_populated") added pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages and caused the accounting issue.

13 daysmm/hugetlb: fix swap entry corruption when clearing uffd-wp at fork()Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
copy_hugetlb_page_range() clears the uffd-wp bit of migration and hwpoison entries with huge_pte_clear_uffd_wp(), which operates on the present-PTE bit position. Swap entries keep the uffd-wp state elsewhere -- the migration branch reads and sets it with pte_swp_uffd_wp() and pte_swp_mkuffd_wp() -- and the present-PTE position falls into the swap payload. On x86-64 it lands in the inverted swap offset, where a naturally-aligned hugetlb PFN always has the affected bit set, so the clear advances the encoded PFN by two pages. No userfaultfd needs to be involved: the clear is guarded only by the child VMA not being uffd-wp registered, so a plain fork() with an in-flight hugetlb migration entry (or a poisoned hugetlb page) corrupts the entry copied into the child. Instrumenting the clear and forking after MADV_HWPOISON on a 2MB anon hugetlb page shows: offset before=120e00 offset after =120e02 The fallout is mostly latent: rmap walks match migration entries by folio range and remove_migration_pte() rebuilds the PTE from the folio, so a within-folio PFN skew heals once migration completes. But any path that re-encodes the corrupted offset -- e.g. hugetlb_change_protection() rewriting a writable migration entry via make_readable_migration_entry(swp_offset(entry)) -- propagates it. Migration entries legitimately carry uffd-wp, so clear it with pte_swp_clear_uffd_wp(), matching copy_nonpresent_pte() and move_huge_pte(). A hwpoison entry, on the other hand, never carries the uffd-wp bit: it is installed fresh by make_hwpoison_entry() (try_to_unmap_one() does not preserve uffd-wp on the hwpoison path) and hugetlb_change_protection() leaves hwpoison entries untouched. There was nothing to clear there, only the corruption, so drop the clear entirely.

13 daysmm/vmstat: fold stranded per-cpu node stats when a node comes onlineGregory Price
A per-node vmstat counter is pgdat->vm_stat[] plus per-cpu deltas. A balanced counter can sit split as global=+N / per-cpu=-N. The folds reconciling the split only walk online nodes, so when try_offline_node() marks a node offline the per-cpu deltas are stranded. A subsequent online resets the per-cpu area but not pgdat->vm_stat[], orphaning the +N permanently. All NR_VM_NODE_STAT_ITEMS are affected. The existing code zeroes the per-cpu counters and causes a permanent skew. Fold the stranded deltas instead, before the node rejoins the online set. The node is not online yet and the hotplug lock is held, so the remote access to per-cpu values is safe. Discovered when node compaction hung for a nearly empty node, as the math to determine throttling broke. Reproduced by repeated memory hotplug/unplug cycles on a node under pressure: NR_ISOLATED_ANON ratchets up and never returns to zero.

2026-07-14mm/slab: prevent unbounded recursion in free path with new kmalloc typeHarry Yoo (Oracle)
Commit 280ea9c3154b ("mm/slab: avoid allocating slabobj_ext array from its own slab") avoided recursive allocation of obj_exts from kmalloc caches of the same size, by bumping the obj_exts array's allocation size whenever the array size equals the size of the object being allocated. However, as reported by Danielle Costantino and Shakeel Butt, even slabs from kmalloc caches of different sizes can form a cycle by allocating obj_exts arrays from each other [1]: What happened: a KMALLOC_NORMAL slab's obj_exts array (used by allocation profiling / memcg accounting) is itself kmalloc()'d from a KMALLOC_NORMAL cache, so the "slab holds another slab's obj_exts array" relation can form cycles. With sizeof(struct slabobj_ext) == 16 and the host's geometry: - kmalloc-512 has 64 objects/slab -> array is 64*16 == 1024 bytes, served from kmalloc-1k; - kmalloc-1k has 32 objects/slab -> array is 32*16 == 512 bytes, served from kmalloc-512. A kmalloc-512 slab and a kmalloc-1k slab therefore hold each other's obj_exts array. Discarding one frees the other's array, which empties and discards that slab, which frees the first's array, and so on: __free_slab() -> free_slab_obj_exts() -> kfree() -> discard_slab() -> __free_slab() recurses along the cycle until the stack is exhausted. With memory allocation profiling, this allows unbounded recursion in the free path and led to a stack overflow on a production host in the Meta fleet [1]: BUG: TASK stack guard page was hit Oops: stack guard page RIP: 0010:kfree+0x8/0x5d0 Call Trace: __free_slab+0x66/0xc0 kfree+0x3f0/0x5d0 ... ( ~125x __free_slab <-> kfree ) ... <kernel driver freeing a resource> do_syscall_64 It is proposed [1] to resolve this issue by always serving the obj_exts array allocation from kmalloc caches (or large kmalloc) of sizes larger than the object size. However, as pointed out by Vlastimil Babka [2], this can waste an excessive amount of memory as slabs from large kmalloc sizes (e.g. kmalloc-8k) generally need obj_exts arrays much smaller than the object size. Therefore, rather than bumping the size, let us take a different approach; disallow formation of cycles between kmalloc types when allocating obj_exts arrays. Currently, all obj_exts arrays are served from normal kmalloc caches. Cycles cannot be created if obj_exts arrays of normal kmalloc caches are served from a special kmalloc type that can never have obj_exts arrays. To achieve this, create a new kmalloc type called KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT. KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT caches are created with SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT flag when either 1) memory allocation profiling is not permanently disabled, or 2) kmalloc types with a priority higher than KMALLOC_CGROUP are aliased with KMALLOC_NORMAL. Sheaf bootstrapping for KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT caches now must be deferred because allocation of a barn can trigger obj_exts array allocation of normal kmalloc caches when the KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT cache for that size is not ready yet. For simplicity, perform bootstrapping of sheaves for all kmalloc caches later. Introduce a new slab alloc flag, SLAB_ALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT, to prevent allocation of obj_exts arrays, and let kmalloc_slab() override the type to KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT when specified. Note that kmalloc_type() remains unchanged because kmalloc_flags() bypasses the kmalloc fastpath. Do not pass SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE to kmalloc_flags() in alloc_slab_obj_exts() and instead use SLAB_ALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT only when the objects are allocated from normal kmalloc caches. While this prevents unbounded recursive allocation of obj_exts, it allows KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT caches to have sheaves. Since sheaf allocations specify SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE that prevents allocation of both sheaves and obj_exts arrays, the recursion depth is bounded. obj_exts arrays for non-kmalloc-normal caches can now have a valid tag. Do not call mark_obj_codetag_empty() when freeing an obj_exts array to avoid false warnings. KMALLOC_NO_OBJ_EXT don't need this as they never allocate those arrays.

2026-07-13mm/sparse-vmemmap: flush_cache_vmap() after hotplugging vmemmapVivian Wang
section_activate() does not flush TLB after populating new vmemmap pages. On most architectures, this is okay. However it is a problem on RISC-V since there the TLB caching non-present entries is permitted, which causes spurious faults on some hardwares. This seems to be most easily reproduced with DEBUG_VM=y and PAGE_POISONING=y, which causes these newly mapped struct pages to be poisoned i.e. written to immediately after mapping. Extend the RISC-V flush_cache_vmap() to also handle the vmemmap range, and call it after hotplugging vmemmap, which gets the possible spurious fault handled in the exception handler. At least for now, the only other architecture with both SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and flush_cache_vmap() is PowerPC, which has a similar problem with newly valid PTEs. But there flush_cache_vmap() is just a ptesync. So it should be safe to do this for generic code while having minimal performance impact.

2026-07-09mm: page_reporting: allow driver to set batch capacityMichael S. Tsirkin
At the moment, if a virtio balloon device has a page reporting vq but its size is < PAGE_REPORTING_CAPACITY (32), the balloon driver fails probe. But, there's no way for host to know this value, so it can easily create a smaller vq and suddenly adding the reporting capability to the device makes all of the driver fail. Not pretty. Add a capacity field to page_reporting_dev_info so drivers can control the maximum number of pages per report batch. In virtio-balloon, set the capacity to the reporting virtqueue size, letting page_reporting adapt to whatever the device provides. Capacity need not be a power of two. Code previously called out division by PAGE_REPORTING_CAPACITY as cheap since it was a power of 2, but no performance difference was observed with non-power-of-2 values. If capacity is 0 or exceeds PAGE_REPORTING_CAPACITY, it defaults to PAGE_REPORTING_CAPACITY. The 0 check and the clamping is done in page_reporting_register(), before the reporting work is scheduled, so we never get division by 0.

2026-07-09mm/kmemleak: fix checksum computation for per-cpu objectsBreno Leitao
The per-cpu object checksum folds each CPU's CRC together with XOR and seeds every CRC with 0. Both choices make update_checksum() miss content changes: - XOR is self-cancelling, so equal contents on two CPUs cancel out and simultaneous identical changes leave the checksum unchanged. - crc32(0, ...) over all-zero content is 0, so a freshly allocated, zeroed per-cpu area checksums to 0, matching the initial value, and the object is never seen to change. See discussions at [0]. When update_checksum() wrongly reports an actively modified object as unchanged, kmemleak stops greying it for an extra scan and can report a live per-cpu object as a leak. Fold the per-cpu CRC as a single rolling checksum across all CPUs and initialise the object checksum to ~0 so the first computed value always registers as a change, even for content that hashes to 0. reset_checksum() is seeded the same way.

2026-07-09mm/damon/core: disallow overlapping input ranges for damon_set_regions()SJ Park
damon_set_regions() assumes the input ranges are sorted by the address and don't overlap each other. Hence the assumption was initially to be explicitly validated. But commit 97d482f4592f ("mm/damon/sysfs: reuse damon_set_regions() for regions setting") has mistakenly removed the validation. This can make DAMON behave in unexpected ways. At the best, the monitoring results snapshot will just look weird since there will be overlapping regions. DAMOS will also work weirdly, applying the same action multiple times for overlapping regions, and make DAMOS quota weird. More seriously, depending on the setup and regions updates sequence, negative size regions can be made. It will trigger WARN_ONCE() if the kernel is built with CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y. Depending on the monitoring results, the negative size region can further trigger division by zero in damon_merge_two_regions(). Note that some of the consequences including the WARN_ONCE() and the divide by zero depend on commits that were introduced after the root cause commit 97d482f4592f ("mm/damon/sysfs: reuse damon_set_regions() for regions setting"). Fix the problems by checking the assumption and returning an error if the input ranges don't meet the assumption. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-09mm/damon/core: validate ranges in damon_set_regions()SJ Park
DAMON core logic assumes zero length regions don't exist. However, a few DAMON API callers including DAMON_SYSFS, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow users to set empty monitoring target regions. This could result in WARN_ONCE() on CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY enabled kernel, and divide-by-zero from damon_merge_two_regions(). For example, the WANR_ONCE() can be triggered like below. # grep DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY /boot/config-$(uname -r) # CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y # damo start # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0 # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/start # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/end # echo commit > state # dmesg [....] [ 73.705780] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 73.707552] start 0 >= end 0 [ 73.708452] WARNING: mm/damon/core.c:359 at damon_new_region+0x6e/0x80, CPU#1: kdamond.0/758 [...] All DAMON API callers eventually use damon_set_regions() to setup the regions.

2026-07-09mm/huge_memory: set PG_has_hwpoisoned only after new folio head is establishedRik van Riel
__split_folio_to_order() copies the hwpoison state onto each new sub-folio while splitting a folio to a non-zero order. It does so via if (handle_hwpoison && page_range_has_hwpoisoned(new_head, new_nr_pages)) folio_set_has_hwpoisoned(new_folio); *before* clear_compound_head(new_head)/prep_compound_page(new_head, ...) turns @new_head from a tail page into a proper folio head. PG_has_hwpoisoned is a FOLIO_SECOND_PAGE flag, so folio_set_has_hwpoisoned() resolves to folio_flags(folio, 1). With the new compound_info-based page-flags layout, folio_flags() asserts the page is not a tail: VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(page->compound_info & 1, page); VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(n > 0 && !test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags.f), page); At the current call site @new_head still has the tail marker (compound_info bit 0 set, PG_head clear), so on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels this hits: kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:354 folio_flags+0x82 folio_set_has_hwpoisoned __split_folio_to_order __split_unmapped_folio __folio_split truncate_inode_partial_folio (shmem hole-punch / MADV_REMOVE) Reproduced by syzkaller: hwpoison-inject a few subpages of a large shmem folio, then MADV_REMOVE (fallocate punch hole) on the same range, which splits the partial folio to a non-zero order. memory_failure() tries to split the poisoned folio to order 0 first, but that split is best-effort; when it fails the folio is left large with PG_has_hwpoisoned set, the case fa5a06170036 added this hwpoison copying for. Move the folio_set_has_hwpoisoned() call to after clear_compound_head()/prep_compound_page(), where @new_folio is a real order-new_order head folio (handle_hwpoison implies new_order != 0, so a second page always exists). The flag still lands on the same struct page (page[1] of the new folio); only the ordering relative to compound-head setup changes, satisfying the FOLIO_SECOND_PAGE precondition.

2026-07-09mm/page_vma_mapped: fix device-private PMD handlingWei Yang
Commit 65edfda6f3f2 ("mm/rmap: extend rmap and migration support device-private entries") introduced the concept of device-private PMD entries, but did not correctly update the rmap walk code to account for them. As a result, when page_vma_mapped_walk() encounters device-private PMD entries, it takes no action other than to acquire the PMD lock and exit. However this is highly problematic for two reasons - firstly, device private entries possess a PFN so check_pmd() needs to be called to ensure an overlapping PFN range. Secondly, and more importantly, if PVMW_MIGRATION is set the caller assumes the returned entry is a migration entry, resulting in memory corruption when the caller tries to interpret the device private entry as such. In addition, commit 146287290023 ("mm/huge_memory: implement device-private THP splitting") allowed device private PMDs to be split like THP mappings, but again did not update this code path. As a result, we might race a PMD split prior to acquiring the PMD lock. This patch addresses all of these issues by invoking check_pmd(), ensuring PMVW_MIGRATION is not set and checks whether a split raced us we do for PMD THP and migration entries. Instead of checking for a subset of the cases after taking the pmd_lock(), put device-private along with pmd_trans_huge() and pmd_is_migration_entry(). Also remove thp_migration_supported() as it is already guarded by pmd_is_migration_entry().

2026-07-08mm/slub: fix lost local objects when bulk remote free batch fillsShengming Hu
In free_to_pcs_bulk(), when remote_objects[] fills to PCS_BATCH_MAX, the code jumps to flush_remote to free the batch. If all remote entries have already been compacted out of p[] via tail swaps while local objects remain, the flush_remote path returns early since `i < size` no longer holds. The leftover local objects are then neither cached in the sheaf nor returned to the slab freelist, causing a memory leak. For illustration: size = 64, local objects at p[0..31], remote objects at p[32..63] After scanning all remotes: i = 32, size = 32 p[0..31] local objects are dropped. Harry pointed out that, although the logic contains a real leak, it does not appear to be triggerable with the current in-tree users. To hit this path, at least PCS_BATCH_MAX objects, currently hardcoded to 32, need to be collected in remote_objects[]. Looking at current kmem_cache_free_bulk() users: * maple_node has sheaf_capacity = 32 * skbuff_head_cache has sheaf_capacity = 28 * panthor and msm drivers have sheaf_capacity = 4 The sheaf capacity is, at least for now, derived purely from the object size, with the user-requested capacity used as a minimum. Therefore, among the current users, only maple_node has a sheaf_capacity large enough to reach PCS_BATCH_MAX. However, for the bug to trigger in maple_node, all objects in the sheaf would have to be from remote nodes. In that case, there would be no local objects left to leak. So this issue was found by code review rather than from a runtime report, and it does not seem to be triggerable by current users. Still, the bug could become reachable with future users, a different sheaf capacity, or a change to PCS_BATCH_MAX. Fix the logic by freeing a full remote batch in place during the scan and then continuing to process the compacted array. This keeps all local objects on the normal fast path, while the tail path only handles any leftover partial remote batch. The redundant next_remote_batch jump label is removed as well.

2026-07-01mm: do file ownership checks with the proper mount idmapPedro Falcato
Ever since idmapped mounts were introduced, inode ownership checks (for side-channel protection) in mincore() and madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) were done against the nop_mnt_idmap, which completely ignores the file's mount's idmap. This results in odd edgecases like: 1) mount/bind-mount with an idmap userA:userB:1 2) userB runs an owner_or_capable() check on file that is owned by userA on-disk/in-memory, but owned by userB after idmap translation 3) owner_or_capable() mysteriously fails as the correct idmap wasn't supplied In the case of mincore/madvise MADV_PAGEOUT, this is usually benign, because file_permission(file, MAY_WRITE) will probably succeed, as it uses the proper idmap internally, but it does not need to be the case on e.g a 0444 file where even the owner itself doesn't have permissions to write to it. Since this is clearly not trivial to get right, introduce a file_owner_or_capable() that can carry the correct semantics, and switch the various users in mm to it. The issue was found by manual code inspection & an off-list discussion with Jan Kara.

2026-07-01mm/damon/ops-common: handle extreme intervals in damon_hot_score()SeongJae Park
Fix three issues in damon_hot_score() that comes from wrong handling of extreme (zero or too high) monitoring intervals user setup. When the user sets sampling interval zero, damon_max_nr_accesses(), which is called from damon_hot_score(), causes a divide-by-zero. Needless to say, it is a problem. When the user sets the aggregation interval zero, the function returns zero. It is wrong, since the real maximum nr_acceses in the setup should be one. Worse yet, it can cause another divide-by-zero from its caller, damon_hot_score(), since it uses damon_max_nr_accesses() return value as a denominator. When the user sets the aggregation interval very high, damon_hot_score() could return a value out of [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] range. Since the return value is used as an index to the regions_score_histogram array, which is DAMOS_MAX_SCORE+1 size, it causes out of bounds array access. The issues can be relatively easily reproduced like below. The sysfs write permission is required, though. # ./damo start --damos_action lru_prio --damos_quota_space 100M \ --damos_quota_interval 1s # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0 # echo 0 > contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/sample_us # echo 0 > contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/aggr_us # echo commit > state # dmesg [...] [ 131.329762] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [...] [ 131.336089] RIP: 0010:damon_hot_score+0x27/0xd0 [...] Fix the divide-by-zero intervals problems by explicitly handling the zero intervals in damon_max_nr_accesses().

2026-07-01mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: put stats for scheme_add_dirs() internal errorSeongJae Park
damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() setup the tried_regions directory after the stats directory setup is completed. When the tried_regions directory setup is failed, the setup function ensures the reference for the tried regions directory is released. Hence the error path should put references on setup succeeded directory objects, starting from the stats directory. However, the error path is putting the tried_regions directory instead of the stats directory. As a direct result, the stats directory object is leaked. Worse yet, if the tried_regions directory setup failed from the initial allocation, the scheme->tried_regions field remains uninitialized. The following kobject_put(&scheme->tried_regions->kobj) call in the error path will dereference the uninitialized memory. The setup failures should not be common. But once it happens, the consequence is quite bad. Fix this issue by correctly putting the stats directory instead of the tried_regions directory. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-01mm: shrinker: fix shrinker_info teardown race with expansionQi Zheng
expand_shrinker_info() iterates all visible memcgs under shrinker_mutex, including memcgs that have not finished ->css_online() yet. Once pn->shrinker_info has been published, teardown must stay serialized with expand_shrinker_info() until that memcg is either fully online or no longer visible to iteration. Today alloc_shrinker_info() breaks that rule by dropping shrinker_mutex before freeing a partially initialized shrinker_info array, which may cause the following race: CPU0 CPU1 ==== ==== css_create --> list_add_tail_rcu(&css->sibling, &parent_css->children); online_css --> mem_cgroup_css_online --> alloc_shrinker_info --> alloc node0 info rcu_assign_pointer(C->node0->shrinker_info, old0) alloc node1 info -> FAIL -> goto err mutex_unlock(shrinker_mutex) shrinker_alloc() --> shrinker_memcg_alloc --> mutex_lock(shrinker_mutex) expand_shrinker_info --> mem_cgroup_iter see the memcg expand_one_shrinker_info --> old0 = C->node0->shrinker_info memcpy(new->unit, old0->unit, ...); free_shrinker_info --> kvfree(old0); /* double free !! */ kvfree_rcu(old0, rcu); The same problem exists later in mem_cgroup_css_online(). If alloc_shrinker_info() succeeds but a subsequent objcg allocation fails, the free_objcg -> free_shrinker_info() unwind path tears down the already published pn->shrinker_info arrays without shrinker_mutex. The expand_one_shrinker_info() can race with that teardown in the same way, leading to use-after-free or double-free of the old shrinker_info. Fix this by serializing shrinker_info teardown with shrinker_mutex, and by keeping alloc_shrinker_info() error cleanup inside the locked section.

2026-06-24mm/page_io: don't nest queue_lock under rcu in bio_associate_blkg_from_page()Yu Kuai
Take a css reference under RCU, drop RCU, and then associate the bio with the blkg. This avoids nesting queue_lock under RCU and prepares to protect blkcg with blkcg_mutex instead of queue_lock. Use css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() so swap writeback for pages charged to a dying memcg still passes the dying css to bio_associate_blkg_from_css(). That preserves the existing closest-live ancestor fallback instead of charging those bios to the root blkg.

This reverts commit 7b32f64bc512b40b268776c5ac4d354b325b3197. This patch caused a significant performance regression, so revert it, and we can determine whether the approach is sensible or not moving forwards, and if so how to avoid this. There was a merge conflict with commit de97ae6222c1 ("mm/readahead: no PG_readahead on EOF"), care was taken to ensure that the revert retained the behaviour of this patch and cleanly reverts commit 7b32f64bc512 ("mm: limit filemap_fault readahead to VMA boundaries") only.

2026-06-21mm/damon/core: always put unsuccessfully committed target pidsSeongJae Park
damon_commit_target() puts and gets the destination and the source target pids. It puts the destination target pid because it will be overwritten by the source target pid. It gets the source pid because the caller is supposed to eventually put the pids. In more detail, the caller will call damon_destroy_ctx() after damon_commit_ctx() to destroy the entire source context. And in this case, [f]vaddr operation set's cleanup_target() callback will put the pids. The commit operation is made at the context level. The operation can fail in multiple places including in the middle and after the targets commit operations. For any such failures, immediately the error is returned to the damon_commit_ctx() caller. If some or all of the source target pids were committed to the destination during the unsuccessful context commit attempt, those pids should be put twice. The source context will do the put operations using the above explained routine. However, let's suppose the destination context was not originally using [f]vaddr operation set and the commit failed before the ops of the source context is committed. The destination does not have the cleanup_target() ops callback, so it cannot put the pids via the damon_destroy_ctx(). As a result, the pids are leaked. The issue in the real world would be not very common. The commit feature is for changing parameters of running DAMON context while inheriting internal status like the monitoring results. The monitoring results of a physical address range ain't have things that are beneficial to be inherited to a virtual address ranges monitoring. So the problem-causing DAMON control would be not very common in the real world. That said, it is a supported feature. And damon_commit_target() failure due to memory allocation is relatively realistic [1] if there are a huge number of target regions. Fix by putting the pids in the commit operation in case of the failures. The issue was discovered [2] by Sashiko.

2026-06-21mm: page_isolation: avoid unsafe folio reads while scanning compound pagesKaitao Cheng
page_is_unmovable() can inspect compound pages without holding a folio reference or any lock. The folio can therefore be freed, split or reused while the scanner is still looking at it. The existing HugeTLB handling already avoids folio_hstate() for this reason, but it still derives the hstate from folio_size() and later derives the scan step from folio_nr_pages() and folio_page_idx(). These helpers rely on the folio still being a valid folio head. If the folio changed concurrently, the scanner can read inconsistent folio metadata and compute a wrong step. In the worst case, folio_nr_pages() can return 1 for what used to be a tail page and the subtraction from folio_page_idx() can underflow. There is a similar issue for non-Hugetlb compound pages: folio_test_lru() expects a valid folio. If the previously observed head page has been reused as a tail page of another compound page, the folio flag checks can trigger VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(). Read the compound order once with compound_order(), reject obviously bogus orders, and derive the hstate and scan step from that order instead of querying folio size information again. Also use PageLRU(page), which is safe for the page being scanned, instead of folio_test_lru() on a potentially stale folio pointer. Treat an unknown HugeTLB hstate as unmovable so the scanner does not try to skip over an unstable HugeTLB folio.
