PAGEMAP_SCAN reports an unpopulated PTE in a uffd-wp VMA as written, but a
range with no page table at all -- a PMD hole -- is skipped:
pagemap_scan_pte_hole() tests p-&gt;cur_vma_category, which never carries
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN, so the hole is neither reported nor (under
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING) armed.

In a uffd-wp VMA, WP_UNPOPULATED installs uffd-wp markers when protecting
a range, allocating page tables as needed, so an unpopulated slot is
treated as written -- see the pte_none() handling in
pagemap_page_category().  A missing marker therefore means the range was
zapped, e.g.  via MADV_DONTNEED.  This applies to anon and shmem VMAs.

An anonymous THP is write-protected in place as a huge PMD, so a full-PMD
MADV_DONTNEED clears it to pmd_none -- a hole with no page table -- and
pagemap_scan_pte_hole() misses it.  For a MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON mapping
MADV_DONTNEED has fill-with-zeros semantics, so a write-tracking
checkpoint/migration tool (e.g.  CRIU) treats the range as unchanged and
keeps its previous contents; after restore or live migration the process
reads stale data instead of zeroes -- data corruption.

Report a hole in a non-hugetlb uffd-wp VMA as written, matching the
pte_none handling in pagemap_page_category(); the existing
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING path then arms it via uffd_wp_range().

hugetlb is excluded: pagemap_hugetlb_category() reports an empty hugetlb
entry (huge_pte_none) as not-written, unlike pagemap_page_category(),
which reports pte_none as written.  pagemap_scan_pte_hole() fires for a
hugetlb slot only when it has no page table; keeping that not-written
matches how an allocated-but-empty hugetlb entry reads, so the hole and
the empty-entry cases agree within the VMA.

<title>fs/proc/task_mmu: fix PAGEMAP_SCAN written state for unpopulated ptes</title>

PAGEMAP_SCAN reports an unpopulated pte differently depending on which
path serves the request.  The PAGE_IS_WRITTEN fast path in
pagemap_scan_pmd_entry() reports a pte_none as written (and, under
PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING, arms a marker); pagemap_page_category() returns 0 for
the same pte_none.  A request that cannot take the fast path (an extra
category bit, category_anyof_mask or category_inverted) therefore reports
the pte as clean and skips arming it.

A range that was populated and then MADV_DONTNEED'd reads as written via
one mask and clean via another, and in the latter case is not re-armed for
the next round -- an incremental-dump consumer (e.g.  CRIU) using a richer
mask drops the zapped range and stops tracking writes to it.

Report pte_none as written in pagemap_page_category() too.  A pte_none
carries no uffd-wp marker, i.e.  it is not write-protected -- the same
condition under which the present and swap cases already report
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN.  The fast path applies no VMA test, so neither does this.

The hugetlb and fully-unpopulated-PMD (no page table) scans have no
PAGE_IS_WRITTEN fast path, so they do not exhibit the per-entry divergence
and are left unchanged.

Add a pagemap_ioctl selftest that populates a range, drops it with
MADV_DONTNEED, and checks that the fast path and the generic
(category_anyof_mask) path both report every page written.

Reading /proc/kpageflags for any anonymous page returns KPF_KSM set, even
when KSM is not in use.  As a result, tools misclassify all anonymous
pages as KSM merged.

Reading /proc/kpageflags for any anonymous page returns KPF_KSM set, even
when KSM is not in use.  As a result, tools misclassify all anonymous

<title>proc: only bump parent nlink when registering directories</title>

proc_register() increments the parent directory's link count for every
entry it registers, while remove_proc_entry() and remove_proc_subtree()
decrement it only when the removed entry is a directory.  Regular files
thus inflate the parent's count while they exist, and leak one link
permanently on every create and remove cycle.

For example, /proc/bus/pci/00 with twenty-two device files and no
subdirectories reports nlink 24 instead of 2, and SR-IOV VF enable
and disable cycles, each creating and removing the VF config space
entries under /proc/bus/pci/&lt;bus&gt;, inflate the link count of that
directory without bound.

Before commit e06689bf5701 ("proc: change -&gt;nlink under
proc_subdir_lock"), the increment lived in proc_mkdir_data() and
proc_create_mount_point(), and was therefore applied only to
directories.  Moving it into proc_register() to bring it under
proc_subdir_lock dropped the S_ISDIR check.

Thus, move the nlink accounting into pde_subdir_insert() and
pde_erase(), only updating it for directories in both, so the link
count is always changed together with the directory entry itself.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity" (Li Wang)

   Remove some noise from the MM selftests build

 - "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently" (Ryan Roberts)

   Speed up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by first scanning
   them for coalescing opportunities. This is applicable to vfree() and
   to the releasing of frozen pages

 - "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota charge ratio"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Address a DAMOS usability issue: The DAMOS quota often exhausts
   prematurely because it charges for all memory attempted, causing slow
   and inconsistent performance when actions fail on unreclaimable
   memory.

   To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
   charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
   Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
   ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing

 - "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness and support large
   page sizes" (Li Wang)

   Fix various spurious failures and improves the overall robustness of
   the cgroup zswap selftests

 - "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno" (Anthony Yznaga)

   Fix an issue in the mlock selftests on arm32

   Use the special vprintf() gfp_t conversion in various places

 - "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and initialization" (Muchun
   Song)

   Fix several bugs in the vmemmap optimization, mainly around incorrect
   page accounting and memmap initialization in the DAX and memory
   hotplug paths. It also fixes pageblock migratetype initialization and
   struct page initialization for ZONE_DEVICE compound pages

 - "mm/damon: repost non-hotfix reviewed patches in damon/next tree"

   A sprinkle of unrelated minor bugfixes for DAMON

 - "mm: remove page_mapped()" (David Hildenbrand)

   Remove this function from the tree, replacing it with folio_mapped()

 - "mm/damon: let DAMON be paused and resumed" (SeongJae Park)

   Allow DAMON to be paused and resumed without losing its current state

 - "kasan: hw_tags: Disable tagging for stack and page-tables" (Muhammad
   Usama Anjum)

   Simplify and speed up kasan by removing its ineffective tagging of
   stacks and page tables

 - "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: monitor all system rams by default"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Simplify deployment on diverse hardware like NUMA systems by updating
   DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to automatically monitor the
   physical address range covering all System RAM areas by default,
   replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only targeted the
   single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead

 - "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as deprecated" (SeongJae
   Park)

   Update some DAMON docs

 - "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" (Dmitry Ilvokhin)

   Switch zone-&gt;lock handling over to using the guard() mechanisms

 - "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting" (fujunjie)

   Fix a flaw where the mmap_miss counter over-credited page cache hits
   during fault-arounds and page-fault retries. This results in
   significant reduction of redundant synchronous mmap readahead I/O,
   drastically cutting down execution time and gigabytes read for sparse
   random or strided memory access workloads

 - "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in test_percpu_basic"
   (Li Wang)

   Fix a couple of false-positives in the cgroup kmem selftests

 - "mm/damon/reclaim: support monitoring intervals auto-tuning"
   (SeongJae Park)

   Add a new parameter to DAMON permitting DAMON_RECLAIM to
   automatically tune DAMON's sampling and aggregation intervals

 - "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter" (SeongJae Park)

   Change DAMON_STAT to provide the pid of its kdamond

 - "mm/kmemleak: dedupe verbose scan output" (Breno Leitao)

   Remove large amounts of duplicated backtraces from the verbose-mode
   kmemleak output

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Reduce our use of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, with a view to
   removing it entirely in a later series

 - "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of 2" (Liew Rui Yan)

   Prevent users from passing a non-power-of-2 value of `addr_unit', as
   this later results in undesirable behavior

 - "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" (Frederick Mayle)

 - "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" (Ye Liu)

   Fix three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c

 - "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" (Brendan Jackman)

   Implement several cleanups in the page allocator and related code

 - "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation" (Kairui Song)

   Unify the allocation and charging of anon and shmem swap in folios,
   provides better synchronization, consolidates the metadata
   management, hence dropping the static array and map, and improves
   performance

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring" (SeongJae Park(

   Extend DAMON to monitor general data attributes other than accesses

 - "mm/vmalloc: free unused pages on vrealloc() shrink" (Shivam Kalra)

   Implement the TODO in vrealloc() to unmap and free unused pages when
   shrinking across a page boundary

 - "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" (niecheng)

 - "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Eliminate custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the problematic
   success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access uninitialized
   VMAs. It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code field and
   updates the memory char driver accordingly

 - "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability and tests"
   (SeongJae Park)

 - "mm/damon: fix macro arguments and clarify quota goals doc" (Maksym
   Shcherba)

 - "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into mm/userfaultfd.c" (Mike
   Rapoport)

 - "mm/mglru: improve reclaim loop and dirty folio" (Kairui Song and
   others)

   Clean up and slightly improves MGLRU's reclaim loop and dirty
   writeback handling. Large performance improvements are measured

 - "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} reads" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Use per-vma locks when reading /proc/pid/smaps and numa_maps similar
   to reduce contention on central mmap_lock

 - "refactors thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() and thpsize_shmem_enabled_show()"
   (Ran Xiaokai)

   Some cleanup work in the THP code

 - "selftests/memfd: fix compilation warnings" (Konstantin Khorenko)

   Fix a few build glitches in the memfd selftest code.

 - "memcg: shrink obj_stock_pcp and cache multiple objcgs" (Shakeel
   Butt)

   Resolve a 68% performance regression caused by NUMA-node cache
   thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking its existing
   fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches up to
   five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of the
   same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.

 - "zram: writeback fixes" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   address a couple of unrelated zram writeback issues

 - "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" (Johannes Weiner)

   Resolve NUMA-awareness issues and streamlines callsite interaction by
   refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely replace the
   complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent Huge Pages

 - "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory" (Usama Arif)

   Improve large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page arm64 by
   preventing the mmap_miss check from permanently disabling
   target-oriented VM_EXEC readahead, and by generalizing the
   force_thp_readahead gate to support mappings with any usefully large
   maximum folio order under the cache cap.

 - "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes" (Kiryl Shutsemau)

   Fix a bunch of minor issues in the userfaultfd/pagemap, all of which
   were flagged by Sashiko review of proposed new material

 - "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Provide generic vmemmap_set_pmd() and
   vmemmap_check_pmd()" (Muchun Song)

   Provide generic versions of these two functions so the four
   arch-specific implementations can be removed.

   memory.

   To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
   charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
   Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
   ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing

   removing it entirely in a later series

 - "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of 2" (Liew Rui Yan)

   Prevent users from passing a non-power-of-2 value of `addr_unit', as
   this later results in undesirable behavior

 - "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" (Frederick Mayle)

 - "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" (Ye Liu)

   Fix three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c

 - "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" (Brendan Jackman)

   Implement several cleanups in the page allocator and related code

 - "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation" (Kairui Song)

   Unify the allocation and charging of anon and shmem swap in folios,
   provides better synchronization, consolidates the metadata
   management, hence dropping the static array and map, and improves
   performance

 - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring" (SeongJae Park(

   Extend DAMON to monitor general data attributes other than accesses

 - "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" (Lorenzo Stoakes)

   Eliminate custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the problematic
   success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access uninitialized
   VMAs. It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code field and
   updates the memory char driver accordingly

 - "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability and tests"
   (SeongJae Park)

   writeback handling. Large performance improvements are measured

 - "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} reads" (Suren
   Baghdasaryan)

   Use per-vma locks when reading /proc/pid/smaps and numa_maps similar
   to reduce contention on central mmap_lock

   Butt)

   Resolve a 68% performance regression caused by NUMA-node cache
   thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking its existing
   fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches up to
   five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of the
   same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.

 - "zram: writeback fixes" (Sergey Senozhatsky)

   address a couple of unrelated zram writeback issues

 - "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" (Johannes Weiner)

   Resolve NUMA-awareness issues and streamlines callsite interaction by
   refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely replace the
   complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent Huge Pages

 - "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory" (Usama Arif)

   Improve large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page arm64 by

Pull NOHZ updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix a long standing TOCTOU in get_cpu_sleep_time_us()

 - Make the CPU offline NOHZ handling more robust by disabling NOHZ on
   the outgoing CPU early instead of creating unneeded state which needs
   to be undone.

 - Unify idle CPU time accounting instead of having two different
   accounting mechanisms. These two different mechanisms are not really
   independent, but the different properties can in the worst case cause
   that gloabl idle time can be observed going backwards.

 - Consolidate the idle/iowait time retrieval interfaces instead of
   converting back and forth between them.

 - Make idle interrupt time accounting more robust. The original code
   assumes that interrupt time accouting is enabled and therefore stops
   elapsing idle time while an interrupt is handled in NOHZ dyntick
   state. That assumption is not correct as interrupt time accounting
   can be disabled at compile and runtime.

 - Fix an accounting error between dyntick idle time and dyntick idle
   steal time. The stolen time is not accounted and therefore idle time
   becomes inaccurate. The stolen time is now accounted after the fact
   as there is no way to predict the steal time upfront.
