We triggered a NULL pointer dereference for ac.preferred_zoneref-&gt;zone in
alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() when the task is migrated between cpusets.

When cpuset is enabled, in prepare_alloc_pages(), ac-&gt;nodemask may be
&amp;current-&gt;mems_allowed.  when first_zones_zonelist() is called to find
preferred_zoneref, the ac-&gt;nodemask may be modified concurrently if the
task is migrated between different cpusets.  Assuming we have 2 NUMA Node,
when traversing Node1 in ac-&gt;zonelist, the nodemask is 2, and when
traversing Node2 in ac-&gt;zonelist, the nodemask is 1.  As a result, the
ac-&gt;preferred_zoneref points to NULL zone.

In alloc_pages_bulk_noprof(), for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask() finds a
allowable zone and calls zonelist_node_idx(ac.preferred_zoneref), leading
to NULL pointer dereference.

__alloc_pages_noprof() fixes this issue by checking NULL pointer in commit
ea57485af8f4 ("mm, page_alloc: fix check for NULL preferred_zone") and
commit df76cee6bbeb ("mm, page_alloc: remove redundant checks from alloc
fastpath").

To fix it, check NULL pointer for preferred_zoneref-&gt;zone.

Fix it by moving the mlocked flag clearance down to free_page_prepare().

<id>c928807f6f6b6d595a7e199591ae297c81de3aeb</id>
<content type='text'>
OOM kills due to vastly overestimated free highatomic reserves were
observed:

  ... invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x100cca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE), order=0 ...
  Node 0 Normal free:1482936kB boost:0kB min:410416kB low:739404kB high:1068392kB reserved_highatomic:1073152KB ...
  Node 0 Normal: 1292*4kB (ME) 1920*8kB (E) 383*16kB (UE) 220*32kB (ME) 340*64kB (E) 2155*128kB (UE) 3243*256kB (UE) 615*512kB (U) 1*1024kB (M) 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 1477408kB

The second line above shows that the OOM kill was due to the following
condition:

  free (1482936kB) - reserved_highatomic (1073152kB) = 409784KB &lt; min (410416kB)

And the third line shows there were no free pages in any
MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC pageblocks, which otherwise would show up as type 'H'. 
Therefore __zone_watermark_unusable_free() underestimated the usable free
memory by over 1GB, which resulted in the unnecessary OOM kill above.

The comments in __zone_watermark_unusable_free() warns about the potential
risk, i.e.,

  If the caller does not have rights to reserves below the min
  watermark then subtract the high-atomic reserves. This will
  over-estimate the size of the atomic reserve but it avoids a search.

However, it is possible to keep track of free pages in reserved highatomic
pageblocks with a new per-zone counter nr_free_highatomic protected by the
zone lock, to avoid a search when calculating the usable free memory.  And
the cost would be minimal, i.e., simple arithmetics in the highatomic
alloc/free/move paths.

Note that since nr_free_highatomic can be relatively small, using a
per-cpu counter might cause too much drift and defeat its purpose, in
addition to the extra memory overhead.

<title>mm/thp: fix deferred split unqueue naming and locking</title>

<id>f8f931bba0f92052cf842b7e30917b1afcc77d5a</id>
<content type='text'>
Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues:
under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions,
"Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually
don't get to see how badly they end up without).  The relevant recent
changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin,
improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting.

Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(),
which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(),
which is what it does.  But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm
internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to
check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued,
which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing
callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()).

Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all
of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page()
will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no
longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately).

Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio-&gt;memcg_data 0
without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list;
which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg
(when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later,
when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially
corrupting the memcg's list.  __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0
here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before
resetting memcg_data.

That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split
shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding
to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to
swapcache.  That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim
(though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue
could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split
underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes
swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace.

Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue?  Yes: it is
no longer essential, but preserves the existing behaviour, and is likely
to be a worthwhile optimization (vmstat showed much more traffic on the
queue under swapping load if the check was removed); update its comment.

Memcg-v1 move (deprecated): mem_cgroup_move_account() has been changing
folio-&gt;memcg_data without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from the
deferred list, sometimes corrupting "from" memcg's list, like swapout. 
Refcount is non-zero here, so folio_unqueue_deferred_split() can only be
used in a WARN_ON_ONCE to validate the fix, which must be done earlier:
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() first try to split the THP (splitting
of course unqueues), or skip it if that fails.  Not ideal, but moving
charge has been requested, and khugepaged should repair the THP later:
nobody wants new custom unqueueing code just for this deprecated case.

The 87eaceb3faa5 commit did have the code to move from one deferred list
to another (but was not conscious of its unsafety while refcount non-0);
but that was removed by 5.6 commit fac0516b5534 ("mm: thp: don't need care
deferred split queue in memcg charge move path"), which argued that the
existence of a PMD mapping guarantees that the THP cannot be on a deferred
list.  As above, false in rare cases, and now commonly false.

Backport to 6.11 should be straightforward.  Earlier backports must take
care that other _deferred_list fixes and dependencies are included.  There
is not a strong case for backports, but they can fix cornercases.

Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues:
under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions,
"Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually
don't get to see how badly they end up without).  The relevant recent
changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin,
improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting.

The new unlocked list_del_init() in deferred_split_scan() is buggy.  I
gave bad advice, it looks plausible since that's a local on-stack list,
but the fact is that it can race with a third party freeing or migrating
the preceding folio (properly unqueueing it with refcount 0 while holding
split_queue_lock), thereby corrupting the list linkage.

The obvious answer would be to take split_queue_lock there: but it has a
long history of contention, so I'm reluctant to add to that.  Instead,
make sure that there is always one safe (raised refcount) folio before, by
delaying its folio_put().  (And of course I was wrong to suggest updating
split_queue_len without the lock: leave that until the splice.)

And remove two over-eager partially_mapped checks, restoring those tests
to how they were before: if uncharge_folio() or free_tail_page_prepare()
finds _deferred_list non-empty, it's in trouble whether or not that folio
is partially_mapped (and the flag was already cleared in the latter case).

Under memory pressure it's possible for GFP_ATOMIC order-0 allocations to
fail even though free pages are available in the highatomic reserves. 
GFP_ATOMIC allocations cannot trigger unreserve_highatomic_pageblock()
since it's only run from reclaim.

Given that such allocations will pass the watermarks in
__zone_watermark_unusable_free(), it makes sense to fallback to highatomic
reserves the same way that ALLOC_OOM can.

This fixes order-0 page allocation failures observed on Cloudflare's fleet
when handling network packets:

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "support shmem mTHP collapse" from Baolin Wang. Adds support for
     khugepaged's collapsing of shmem mTHP folios.

   - "mm: Optimize mseal checks" from Pedro Falcato. Fixes an mprotect()
     performance regression due to the addition of mseal().

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and
     better tested.

   - "misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests" from SeongJae Park.
     Minor fixups of DAMON selftests and kunit tests.

   - "mm: memory_hotplug: improve do_migrate_range()" from Kefeng Wang.
     Code cleanups and folio conversions.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot
   de Oliveira's last major contribution to the kernel:

     "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
      priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
      monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
      servers should be able to replace and improve that."

   (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes, Youssef
   Esmat, Huang Shijie)

 - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
     - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
     - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
     - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
     - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
     - Rework pick_next_task()
     - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
     - Rework dl_server
     - Add put_prev_task(.next)

   (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)

 - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
     - Implement delayed dequeue
     - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
     - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
     - Document the new feature flags
     - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
     - Simplify &amp; unify pick_next_task_fair()
     - Misc debuggability enhancements

   (Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann, Valentin
   Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)

 - Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
   resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks
   (Zhang Qiao)

 - Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
   (K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
   (Qais Yousef)

 - Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
   (Tianchen Ding)

 - Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
   parameters (Christian Loehle)

 - Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
   the original change seems to be working fine (Phil Auld)

 - Misc fixes and cleanups (Chen Yu, Dan Carpenter, Huang Shijie,
   Peilin He, Qais Yousefm and Vincent Guittot)

<title>mm/codetag: fix pgalloc_tag_split()</title>

<id>95599ef684d01136a8b77c16a7c853496786e173</id>
<content type='text'>
The current assumption is that a large folio can only be split into
order-0 folios.  That is not the case for hugeTLB demotion, nor for THP
split: see commit c010d47f107f ("mm: thp: split huge page to any lower
order pages").

When a large folio is split into ones of a lower non-zero order, only the
new head pages should be tagged.  Tagging tail pages can cause imbalanced
"calls" counters, since only head pages are untagged by pgalloc_tag_sub()
and the "calls" counts on tail pages are leaked, e.g.,

  # echo 2048kB &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
  # echo 700 &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
  # time echo 700 &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
  # echo 0 &gt;/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
  # grep alloc_gigantic_folio /proc/allocinfo

Before this patch:
  0  549427200  mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio

  real  0m2.057s
  user  0m0.000s
  sys   0m2.051s

After this patch:
  0          0  mm/hugetlb.c:1549 func:alloc_gigantic_folio

  real  0m1.711s
  user  0m0.000s
  sys   0m1.704s

Not tagging tail pages also improves the splitting time, e.g., by about
15% when demoting 1GB hugeTLB folios to 2MB ones, as shown above.

<title>mm/page_alloc: fix build with CONFIG_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY=n</title>

When has_unaccepted_memory() is unused, it prevents kernel builds
with clang, `make W=1` and CONFIG_WERROR=y:

mm/page_alloc.c:7036:20: error: unused function 'has_unaccepted_memory' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
7036 | static inline bool has_unaccepted_memory(void)
|                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix it by removeing the CONFIG_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY=n stub.
