2026-04-05mm: move vma_kernel_pagesize() from hugetlb to mm.hDavid Hildenbrand (Arm)
Patch series "mm: move vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() out of hugetlb.c", v2. Looking into vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize(), I realized that there is one scenario where DAX would not do the right thing when the kernel is not compiled with hugetlb support. Without hugetlb support, vma_(kernel|mmu)_pagesize() will always return PAGE_SIZE instead of using the ->pagesize() result provided by dax-device code. Fix that by moving vma_kernel_pagesize() to core MM code, where it belongs. I don't think this is stable material, but am not 100% sure. Also, move vma_mmu_pagesize() while at it. Remove the unnecessary hugetlb.h inclusion from KVM code. This patch (of 4): In the past, only hugetlb had special "vma_kernel_pagesize()" requirements, so it provided its own implementation. In commit 05ea88608d4e ("mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->pagesize() to vm_operations_struct") we generalized that approach by providing a vm_ops->pagesize() callback to be used by device-dax. Once device-dax started using that callback in commit c1d53b92b95c ("device-dax: implement ->pagesize() for smaps to report MMUPageSize") it was missed that CONFIG_DEV_DAX does not depend on hugetlb support. So building a kernel with CONFIG_DEV_DAX but without CONFIG_HUGETLBFS would not pick up that value. Fix it by moving vma_kernel_pagesize() to mm.h, providing only a single implementation. While at it, improve the kerneldoc a bit. Ideally, we'd move vma_mmu_pagesize() as well to the header. However, its __weak symbol might be overwritten by a PPC variant in hugetlb code. So let's leave it in there for now, as it really only matters for some hugetlb oddities. This was found by code inspection.

2026-04-05mm/damon/core: remove damos_set_next_apply_sis() duplicatesSeongJae Park
Patch series "mm/damon/core: make passed_sample_intervals comparisons overflow-safe". DAMON accounts time using its own jiffies-like time counter, namely damon_ctx->passed_sample_intervals. The counter is incremented on each iteration of kdamond_fn() main loop, which sleeps at least one sample interval. Hence the name is like that. DAMON has time-periodic operations including monitoring results aggregation and DAMOS action application. DAMON sets the next time to do each of such operations in the passed_sample_intervals unit. And it does the operation when the counter becomes the same to or larger than the pre-set values, and update the next time for the operation. Note that the operation is done not only when the values exactly match but also when the time is passed, because the values can be updated for online-committed DAMON parameters. The counter is 'unsigned long' type, and the comparison is done using normal comparison operators. It is not safe from overflows. This can cause rare and limited but odd situations. Let's suppose there is an operation that should be executed every 20 sampling intervals, and the passed_sample_intervals value for next execution of the operation is ULONG_MAX - 3. Once the passed_sample_intervals reaches ULONG_MAX - 3, the operation will be executed, and the next time value for doing the operation becomes 17 (ULONG_MAX - 3 + 20), since overflow happens. In the next iteration of the kdamond_fn() main loop, passed_sample_intervals is larger than the next operation time value, so the operation will be executed again. It will continue executing the operation for each iteration, until the passed_sample_intervals also overflows. Note that this will not be common and problematic in the real world. The sampling interval, which takes for each passed_sample_intervals increment, is 5 ms by default. And it is usually [auto-]tuned for hundreds of milliseconds. That means it takes about 248 days or 4,971 days to have the overflow on 32 bit machines when the sampling interval is 5 ms and 100 ms, respectively (1<<32 * sampling_interval_in_seconds / 3600 / 24). On 64 bit machines, the numbers become 2924712086.77536 and 58494241735.5072 years. So the real user impact is negligible. But still this is better to be fixed as long as the fix is simple and efficient. Fix this by simply replacing the overflow-unsafe native comparison operators with the existing overflow-safe time comparison helpers. The first patch only cleans up the next DAMOS action application time setup for consistency and reduced code. The second and the third patches update DAMOS action application time setup and rest, respectively. This patch (of 3): There is a function for damos->next_apply_sis setup. But some places are open-coding it. Consistently use the helper.

2026-04-05Docs/mm/damon/design: document the power-of-two limitation for addr_unitSeongJae Park
The min_region_sz is set as max(DAMON_MIN_REGION_SZ / addr_unit, 1). DAMON_MIN_REGION_SZ is the same to PAGE_SIZE, and addr_unit is what the user can arbitrarily set. Commit c80f46ac228b ("mm/damon/core: disallow non-power of two min_region_sz") made min_region_sz to always be a power of two. Hence, addr_unit should be a power of two when it is smaller than PAGE_SIZE. While 'addr_unit' is a user-exposed parameter, the rule is not documented. This can confuse users. Specifically, if the user sets addr_unit as a value that is smaller than PAGE_SIZE and not a power of two, the setup will explicitly fail. Document the rule on the design document. Usage documents reference the design document for detail, so updating only the design document should suffice.

2026-04-05mm/damon: add CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITYSeongJae Park
Patch series "mm/damon: add optional debugging-purpose sanity checks". DAMON code has a few assumptions that can be critical if violated. Validating the assumptions in code can be useful at finding such critical bugs. I was actually adding some such additional sanity checks in my personal tree, and those were useful at finding bugs that I made during the development of new patches. We also found [1] sometimes the assumptions are misunderstood. The validation can work as good documentation for such cases. Add some of such debugging purpose sanity checks. Because those additional checks can impose more overhead, make those only optional via new config, CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY, that is recommended for only development and test setups. And as recommended, enable it for DAMON kunit tests and selftests. Note that the verification only WARN_ON() for each of the insanity. The developer or tester may better to set panic_on_oops together, like damon-tests/corr did [2]. This patch (of 10): Add a new build config that will enable additional DAMON sanity checks. It is recommended to be enabled on only development and test setups, since it can impose additional overhead.

Add a comment explaining this relationship. The expected folio refcount at the start of migrate_vma_split_unmapped_folio() is 1.

2026-04-05ubsan: turn off kmsan inside of ubsan instrumentationArnd Bergmann
The structure initialization in the two type mismatch handling functions causes a call to __msan_memset() to be generated inside of a UACCESS block, which in turn leads to an objtool warning about possibly leaking uaccess-enabled state: lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch+0xda: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1+0xf4: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled Most likely __msan_memset() is safe to be called here and could be added to the uaccess_safe_builtin[] list of safe functions, but seeing that the ubsan file itself already has kasan, ubsan and kcsan disabled itself, it is probably a good idea to also turn off kmsan here, in particular this also avoids the risk of recursing between ubsan and kcsan checks in other functions of this file. I saw this happen while testing randconfig builds with clang-22, but did not try older versions, or attempt to see which kernel change introduced the warning.

2026-04-05mm: introduce a new page type for page pool in page typeByungchul Park
Currently, the condition 'page->pp_magic == PP_SIGNATURE' is used to determine if a page belongs to a page pool. However, with the planned removal of @pp_magic, we should instead leverage the page_type in struct page, such as PGTY_netpp, for this purpose. Introduce and use the page type APIs e.g. PageNetpp(), __SetPageNetpp(), and __ClearPageNetpp() instead, and remove the existing APIs accessing @pp_magic e.g. page_pool_page_is_pp(), netmem_or_pp_magic(), and netmem_clear_pp_magic(). Plus, add @page_type to struct net_iov at the same offset as struct page so as to use the page_type APIs for struct net_iov as well. While at it, reorder @type and @owner in struct net_iov to avoid a hole and increasing the struct size. This work was inspired by the following link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/582f41c0-2742-4400-9c81-0d46bf4e8314@gmail.com/ While at it, move the sanity check for page pool to on the free path.

2026-04-05sparc: use vmemmap_populate_hugepages for vmemmap_populateChengkaitao
Change sparc's implementation of vmemmap_populate() using vmemmap_populate_hugepages() to streamline the code. Another benefit is that it allows us to eliminate the external declarations of vmemmap_p?d_populate functions and convert them to static functions. Since vmemmap_populate_hugepages may fallback to vmemmap_populate- _basepages, which differs from sparc's original implementation. During the v1 discussion with Mike Rapoport, sparc uses base pages in the kernel page tables, so it should be able to use them in vmemmap as well. Consequently, no additional special handling is required. 1. In the SPARC architecture, reimplement vmemmap_populate using vmemmap_populate_hugepages. 2. Allow the SPARC arch to fallback to vmemmap_populate_basepages(), when vmemmap_alloc_block returns NULL.

Similar to vma_flags_test(), we have previously renamed vma_desc_test() to vma_desc_test_any(). Now that is in place, we can reintroduce vma_desc_test() to explicitly check for a single VMA flag. As with vma_flags_test(), this is useful as often flag tests are against a single flag, and vma_desc_test_any(flags, VMA_READ_BIT) reads oddly and potentially causes confusion.

2026-04-05mm: always inline __mk_vma_flags() and invoked functionsLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Be explicit about __mk_vma_flags() (which is used by the mk_vma_flags() macro) always being inline, as we rely on the compiler to evaluate the loop in this function and determine that it can replace the code with the an equivalent constant value, e.g. that: __mk_vma_flags(2, (const vma_flag_t []){ VMA_WRITE_BIT, VMA_EXEC_BIT }); Can be replaced with: (1UL << VMA_WRITE_BIT) | (1UL << VMA_EXEC_BIT) = (1UL << 1) | (1UL << 2) = 6 Most likely an 'inline' will suffice for this, but be explicit as we can be. Also update all of the functions __mk_vma_flags() ultimately invokes to be always inline too. Note that test_bitmap_const_eval() asserts that the relevant bitmap functions result in build time constant values. Additionally, vma_flag_set() operates on a vma_flags_t type, so it is inconsistently named versus other VMA flags functions. We only use vma_flag_set() in __mk_vma_flags() so we don't need to worry about its new name being rather cumbersome, so rename it to vma_flags_set_flag() to disambiguate it from vma_flags_set(). Also update the VMA test headers to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm: rename VMA flag helpers to be more readableLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks". The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use of VM_xxx flags more straightforward. This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to improve consistency and readability. Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()). It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same reason. Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag test. Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for consistency. Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) && vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT). This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT). We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag. Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion. So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag. The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere. The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers. It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers. Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that they behave as expected. This patch (of 6): On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags() separately test whether all flags are set. Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this confusion. Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any(). Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention and to help avoid confusion vs. vma_flags_test_all().

2026-04-05kasan: fix bug type classification for SW_TAGS modeAndrey Ryabinin
kasan_non_canonical_hook() derives orig_addr from kasan_shadow_to_mem(), but the pointer tag may remain in the top byte. In SW_TAGS mode this tagged address is compared against PAGE_SIZE and TASK_SIZE, which leads to incorrect bug classification. As a result, NULL pointer dereferences may be reported as "wild-memory-access". Strip the tag before performing these range checks and use the untagged value when reporting addresses in these ranges. Before: [ ] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffef800000000000 [ ] KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xff00000000000000-0xff0000000000000f] After: [ ] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffef800000000000 [ ] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x000000000000000f] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260305185659.20807-1-ryabinin.a.a@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@gmail.com> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@gmail.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Maciej Wieczor-Retman <maciej.wieczor-retman@intel.com> Cc: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2026-04-05mm/vmscan: fix unintended mtc->nmask mutation in alloc_demote_folio()Bing Jiao
In alloc_demote_folio(), mtc->nmask is set to NULL for the first allocation. If that succeeds, it returns without restoring mtc->nmask to allowed_mask. For subsequent allocations from the migrate_pages() batch, mtc->nmask will be NULL. If the target node then becomes full, the fallback allocation will use nmask = NULL, allocating from any node allowed by the task cpuset, which for kswapd is all nodes. To address this issue, use a local copy of the mtc structure with nmask = NULL for the first allocation attempt specifically, ensuring the original mtc remains unmodified.

2026-04-05mm/page_reporting: add PAGE_REPORTING_ORDER_UNSPECIFIEDYuvraj Sakshith
Patch series "Allow order zero pages in page reporting", v4. Today, page reporting sets page_reporting_order in two ways: (1) page_reporting.page_reporting_order cmdline parameter (2) Driver can pass order while registering itself. In both cases, order zero is ignored by free page reporting because it is used to set page_reporting_order to a default value, like MAX_PAGE_ORDER. In some cases we might want page_reporting_order to be zero. For instance, when virtio-balloon runs inside a guest with tiny memory (say, 16MB), it might not be able to find a order 1 page (or in the worst case order MAX_PAGE_ORDER page) after some uptime. Page reporting should be able to return order zero pages back for optimal memory relinquishment. This patch changes the default fallback value from '0' to '-1' in all possible clients of free page reporting (hv_balloon and virtio-balloon) together with allowing '0' as a valid order in page_reporting_register(). This patch (of 5): Drivers can pass order of pages to be reported while registering itself. Today, this is a magic number, 0. Label this with PAGE_REPORTING_ORDER_UNSPECIFIED and check for it when the driver is being registered. This macro will be used in relevant drivers next.

2026-04-05mm: memcg: separate slab stat accounting from objcg charge cacheJohannes Weiner
Cgroup slab metrics are cached per-cpu the same way as the sub-page charge cache. However, the intertwined code to manage those dependent caches right now is quite difficult to follow. Specifically, cached slab stat updates occur in consume() if there was enough charge cache to satisfy the new object. If that fails, whole pages are reserved, and slab stats are updated when the remainder of those pages, after subtracting the size of the new slab object, are put into the charge cache. This already juggles a delicate mix of the object size, the page charge size, and the remainder to put into the byte cache. Doing slab accounting in this path as well is fragile, and has recently caused a bug where the input parameters between the two caches were mixed up. Refactor the consume() and refill() paths into unlocked and locked variants that only do charge caching. Then let the slab path manage its own lock section and open-code charging and accounting. This makes the slab stat cache subordinate to the charge cache: __refill_obj_stock() is called first to prepare it; __account_obj_stock() follows to hitch a ride. This results in a minor behavioral change: previously, a mismatching percpu stock would always be drained for the purpose of setting up slab account caching, even if there was no byte remainder to put into the charge cache. Now, the stock is left alone, and slab accounting takes the uncached path if there is a mismatch. This is exceedingly rare, and it was probably never worth draining the whole stock just to cache the slab stat update.

Implement the Arm64 architecture-specific test_and_clear_young_ptes() to enable batched checking of young flags, improving performance during large folio reclamation when MGLRU is enabled. While we're at it, simplify ptep_test_and_clear_young() by calling test_and_clear_young_ptes(). Since callers guarantee that PTEs are present before calling these functions, we can use pte_cont() to check the CONT_PTE flag instead of pte_valid_cont(). Performance testing: Enable MGLRU, then allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and try to reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface. I can observe 60%+ performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and about 15% improvement on my X86 machine).

2026-04-05mm: support batched checking of the young flag for MGLRUBaolin Wang
Use the batched helper test_and_clear_young_ptes_notify() to check and clear the young flag to improve the performance during large folio reclamation when MGLRU is enabled. Meanwhile, we can also support batched checking the young and dirty flag when MGLRU walks the mm's pagetable to update the folios' generation counter. Since MGLRU also checks the PTE dirty bit, use folio_pte_batch_flags() with FPB_MERGE_YOUNG_DIRTY set to detect batches of PTEs for a large folio. Then we can remove the ptep_test_and_clear_young_notify() since it has no users now. Note that we also update the 'young' counter and 'mm_stats[MM_LEAF_YOUNG]' counter with the batched count in the lru_gen_look_around() and walk_pte_range(). However, the batched operations may inflate these two counters, because in a large folio not all PTEs may have been accessed. (Additionally, tracking how many PTEs have been accessed within a large folio is not very meaningful, since the mm core actually tracks access/dirty on a per-folio basis, not per page). The impact analysis is as follows: 1. The 'mm_stats[MM_LEAF_YOUNG]' counter has no functional impact and is mainly for debugging. 2. The 'young' counter is used to decide whether to place the current PMD entry into the bloom filters by suitable_to_scan() (so that next time we can check whether it has been accessed again), which may set the hash bit in the bloom filters for a PMD entry that hasn't seen much access. However, bloom filters inherently allow some error, so this effect appears negligible.
