2026-07-28mm/damon/sysfs: kobject_del() target (normal), context and kdamond dirsSJ Park
Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: kobject_del() directories that users can create/remove". DAMON sysfs interface allows users to create and remove arbitrary number of directories on sysfs, using a few files having 'nr_' prefix. For example, 'nr_kdamonds'. When the user writes a number 'N' to the files, directories having name starting from '0' to 'N - 1' are created in the same directory. The pre-existing number-named directories are removed before creating the new directories. For the removal of the existing directories, DAMON sysfs interface use only kobject_put(). Because DAMON sysfs interface is the only kernel component that manages the directories, there is no problem in normal situations. However, if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE is enabled, the removal of dirs are delayed. Let's suppose a user writes a non-zero number to the 'nr_*' files while there are pre-existing number-named directories, on the config enabled kernel. DAMON sysfs interface decreases the reference counts of the existing directories and immediately creates new directories. Because the removal of the sysfs directories is delayed, it shows some pre-existing directories of the same names when it tries to create the new directories, and fails. For example, the issue can be triggered like below: # grep DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE /boot/config-$(uname -r) CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE=y # ls nr_kdamonds # echo 1 > nr_kdamonds # echo 1 > nr_kdamonds bash: echo: write error: File exists # dmesg [...] [ 300.880458] kobject: kobject_add_internal failed for 0 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. [...] Some of the error handling paths of the directories also lack the kobject_del() call. If the user uses nr_* file right after the errors, similar issues can happen. This doesn't cause catastrophic issues like kernel panics or memory corruptions. Users can work around by removing all directories first (write 0 to the nr_* files) and then create new directories after confirming the old directories are gone. But, this is definitely a bug that causes a bad user experience. Fix the issues by calling kobject_del() before creating new directories. This patch (of 11) On CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE enabled kernel, lack of kobject_del() could cause directories creation failures due to the name conflicts. Fix those issues for normal creation paths of target, context and kdamond directories, and error paths of context and kdamond directories by adding kobject_del() calls. Note that this fix for target directories is not complete since it has a similar issue in the damon_sysfs_targets_add_dirs() error path. Because the normal path issue and the error path issue are introduced by different commits, this commit is fixing only the normal path issue. A commit for the error path will be added next.

2026-07-28samples/damon/prcl: stop and free damon ctx when damon_call() failsSJ Park
damon_sample_prcl_start() calls damon_call() right after damon_start() is succeeded. The kdamond that has started by the damon_start() could be terminated by itself before or in the middle of the damon_call() execution. There could be multiple reasons for such a stop including monitoring target process termination and kdamond_fn() internal memory allocation failures. In the case, damon_call() will fail and return an error without cleaning up the DAMON context object. The damon_sample_prcl_start() caller assumes it would clean up the object, though. When the user requests to start DAMON again, damon_sample_prcl_start() is called again, allocates a new DAMON context object and overwrites the pointer for the previous object. As a result, the previous context object is leaked. Safely stop the kdamond and deallocate the context object when the failure is returned. Note that the kdamond should be stopped first, because damon_call() failure means not complete termination of the kdamond but only the fact that the termination process has started. The user impact shouldn't be that significant because the race is not easy to happen, and only up to one DAMON context object can be leaked per race. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-28samples/damon/mtier: handle damon_stop() failureSJ Park
damon_sample_mtier_stop() assumes its damon_stop() call will always successfully stops the two DAMON contexts. Hence it deallocates the two DAMON contexts after the damon_stop() call. However, if a given context is already stopped, damon_stop() fails and returns an error while letting the DAMON contexts that have not yet stopped keep running. This kind of unexpected early DAMON context stops could happen due to memory allocation failures in kdamond_fn(). Because damon_sample_mtier_stop() just deallocates all DAMON contexts with damon_target and damon_region objects that are linked to the contexts, the execution of the unstopped DAMON context (kdamond) ends up using the memory that freed (use-after-free). Fix the issue by separating the damon_stop() to be invoked per context. Note that DAMON_SYSFS also allows multiple DAMON contexts execution. But, it calls damon_stop() for each context one by one. Hence this issue is only in mtier. For the long term, it would be better to refactor damon_stop() to always ensure stopping all contexts regardless of the failures in the middle. Make this fix in the current way, though, to keep it simple and easy to backport. I will do the refactoring later. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-28samples/damon/mtier: handle damon_start() failureSJ Park
damon_sample_mtier_start() callers assume it will clean up resources when it fails. And the function does the cleanup for context buildup failures. However, it is not doing the cleanup for damon_start() failure. As a result, when damon_start() fails, it could leak the memory for DAMON context. Also, if damon_start() fails for only the second context, the first context will indefinitely run, and avoid starting other DAMON contexts since it is running in the exclusive mode. Stop possibly started DAMON context and free the contexts in case of the failure to fix the issues. Note that the issue can reliably be reproduced because the module calls damon_start() in the exclusive mode. For example, $ sudo damo start $ echo Y | sudo tee /sys/module/damon_sample_mtier/parameters/enabled $ sudo cat /proc/allocinfo | grep damon_new_ctx Because the first command is running another DAMON instance, the second command fails the damon_start() call because the new DAMON instance cannot exclusively run. And without this fix, by repeating the second and the third commands above, we can show the memory consumption is only increasing due to the leaks. It requires the sudo permission though.

2026-07-28samples/damon/wsse: handle damon_start() failureSJ Park
Patch series "samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}() failures". All DAMON sample modules are not correctly handling failures from damon_start(). Among those, mtier also has an additional problem for handling of damon_stop() failures. wsse and prcl also have a problem in their damon_call() failure handling.

2026-07-28mm/swap_state: remove unnecessary lru_add_drain() from readaheadUsama Arif
swap_cluster_readahead() and swap_vma_readahead() end the readahead loop with an explicit lru_add_drain() call. That drain is a leftover from 2.6.12 era code and serves no functional purpose for the callers: - do_swap_page() ignores LRU residency for the readahead folios; it only needs the target folio it called swapin_readahead() for, and if the write-fault path needs the target folio on the LRU to count references accurately, it runs its own lru_add_drain() at the wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() sites. - shmem_swapin_cluster() immediately locks the returned folio, waits for writeback, then operates on it - LRU residency of either the target or the readahead folios is irrelevant. - try_to_unuse() likewise locks the folio and calls unuse_pte() without depending on LRU presence. Folios newly added to the swap cache by the readahead loop sit in the per-CPU LRU folio_batch and will be drained naturally as the batch fills (FOLIO_BATCH_SIZE),by the next reclaim/compaction lru_add_drain_all() and so on. The unconditional drain only synchronously flushes a partial batch and forces contention on lruvec_lock. On a 176-CPU production host running a memory-pressured workload, this path was observed to call folio_batch_move_lru() from swap_cluster_readahead() ~28K/min, a very large source of LRU lock traffic. This is a direct continuation of the cleanup started in commit 1aa43598c03b ("mm: remove unnecessary calls to lru_add_drain") which removed the equivalent drain from free_pages_and_swap_cache() with the same rationale. A detailed reasoning for this is present in [1]. Remove both drains.

This is what I hit on s390 with clang and CONFIG_KASAN: mm/damon/core.c:3440:31: error: stack frame size (1352) exceeds limit (1280) in 'kdamond_fn' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than] 3440 | static int kdamond_fn(struct damon_ctx *ctx) The largest stack usage here is inside of the kdamond_tune_intervals(), so by marking that one as noinline_for_stack, the functions individually stay below the warning limit, though kdamond_fn() itself still uses hundreds of kilobytes for some reason.

After splitting __free_zspage() into a lockless core and a wrapper that does the class-stat bookkeeping, three similarly-named helpers coexist: free_zspage / __free_zspage / __free_zspage_lockless. Add a comment block above them describing what each does and where it is used, so the names are not easy to confuse. No functional change.

2026-07-28mm/zsmalloc: drop class lock before freeing zspageXueyuan Chen
Currently in zs_free(), the class->lock is held until the zspage is completely freed and the counters are updated. However, freeing pages back to the buddy allocator requires acquiring the zone lock. Under heavy memory pressure, zone lock contention can be severe. When this happens, the CPU holding the class->lock will stall waiting for the zone lock, thereby blocking all other CPUs attempting to acquire the same class->lock. This patch shrinks the critical section of the class->lock to reduce lock contention. By moving the actual page freeing process outside the class->lock, we can improve the concurrency performance of zs_free(). Testing on the RADXA O6 platform shows that with 12 CPUs concurrently performing zs_free() operations, the execution time is reduced by 20%.

2026-07-28mm/zsmalloc: drop pool->lock from zs_free on 64-bit systemsWenchao Hao
With class_idx encoded in obj, zs_free() can locate the size_class without holding pool->lock on 64-bit systems. Page migration also takes class->lock and only rewrites the PFN field of obj, so: 1. read obj locklessly, 2. lock the size_class derived from obj's class_idx, 3. re-read obj under class->lock to get a stable PFN. This eliminates the rwlock read-side cacheline bouncing between zs_free() and migration/compaction on multi-core systems. Annotate handle_to_obj()/record_obj() with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to prevent load/store tearing on the lockless read path and silence KCSAN data race reports. When ZS_OBJ_CLASS_BITS == 0 (32-bit, or 64-bit with obj too narrow to hold class_idx), zs_free() keeps pool->lock.

2026-07-28mm/zsmalloc: encode class index in obj value for lockless class lookupWenchao Hao
Patch series "mm/zsmalloc: reduce lock contention in zs_free()", v6. This series reduces lock contention in zs_free(), which dominates the unmap path under memory pressure on Android (LMK kills) and on x86 servers running zswap-heavy workloads. The current zs_free() takes pool->lock (rwlock, read side) just to look up the size_class for a handle, then takes class->lock and holds it across __free_zspage() which can call into the buddy allocator and acquire zone->lock. Two costs follow: * pool->lock reader-counter cacheline bouncing among concurrent zs_free() callers. * class->lock held across folio_put(), so any zone->lock wait fans out to every other zs_free() on the same class. The series tackles both: Patch 1: encode size_class index into obj alongside PFN and obj_idx, so zs_free() can locate the class without pool->lock. Patch 2: drop pool->lock from zs_free() on 64-bit; 32-bit unchanged. Patch 3: move zspage page-freeing out of class->lock. Patch 4: document the three free_zspage helper variants that result from the split in patch 3. Performance results: Test: each process independently mmap 256MB, write data, madvise MADV_PAGEOUT to swap out via zram (lzo-rle), then concurrent munmap.

Now that hugetlb reservation runs after zone initialization, bootmem gigantic page allocation can detect pages that span multiple zones. Keep those cross-zone pages separate during allocation and free them after allocation completes, so later hugetlb initialization only sees zone-valid gigantic pages. This chooses to free cross-zone gigantic pages directly instead of retrying allocation. In practice, such cross-zone cases are expected to be very rare, so adding retry logic does not seem justified at this point. Keeping the handling simple also preserves the previous behavior. If similar real-world reports show up later, retry support can be reconsidered then.

2026-07-28mm/hugetlb: refactor early boot gigantic hugepage allocationMuchun Song
The early boot gigantic hugepage allocation helpers currently mix allocation with huge_bootmem_page setup, and leave part of the initialization flow in architecture code. Refactor the interface to return the allocated huge page pointer and move the huge_bootmem_page setup into the generic hugetlb code. This makes the architecture-specific paths focus only on finding memory, while the common code handles node placement and early page metadata setup in one place. This also lets powerpc benefit from memblock_reserved_mark_noinit(), which it did not enable before. In addition, upcoming cross-zone validation for boot-time gigantic hugetlb reservation is common logic. With this refactoring, that logic can stay in the generic code instead of being duplicated in architecture-specific paths.

Hugetlb CMA allocation currently has to cope with CMA areas that span multiple zones. Validate the reserved CMA range up front in hugetlb_cma_reserve() so later hugetlb CMA allocations can assume a zone-consistent area. Also drop the pfn_valid() check from cma_validate_zones(). mem_section is not fully initialized at this point, so the check can trigger false warnings. Keep the sanity check in cma_activate_area() instead.

2026-07-28mm/mm_init: defer sparse_init() until after zone initializationMuchun Song
free_area_init() is responsible for initializing pgdat and zone state. Calling sparse_init() from there mixes in later vmemmap and struct page setup, which makes the initialization flow less clear. Defer sparse_init(), sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late(), and memmap_init() until after free_area_init() completes, when zone initialization is fully done. This keeps free_area_init() focused on zone setup and ensures that sparse_init() runs with the relevant zone state already available. This is also a prerequisite for later hugetlb vmemmap changes that need zone information during early sparse vmemmap setup.

2026-07-28mm/sparse: panic on memmap and usemap allocation failureMuchun Song
When vmemmap or usemap allocation fails, sparse_init_nid() currently marks the section non-present and continues. Later boot-time code can still walk PFNs in that section without checking for this partial setup, which leads to invalid accesses. subsection_map_init() can also touch an unallocated usemap. Auditing and fixing all early PFN walkers for this case is not worth the complexity. These allocation failures are expected to be fatal anyway, and other memory models already treat them that way. Make memmap and usemap allocation failures panic immediately instead of trying to recover and crashing later in less obvious ways. This is also consistent with how other memory model configurations handle memmap allocation failures.

2026-07-28mm/hugetlb: initialize gigantic bootmem hugepage struct pages earlierMuchun Song
Gigantic bootmem HugeTLB pages are currently initialized from hugetlb_init(), but page_alloc_init_late() runs earlier and walks pageblocks to determine zone contiguity. If a bootmem HugeTLB region is marked noinit, set_zone_contiguous() can observe still-uninitialized struct pages through __pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This may not trigger an immediate failure, but it can make set_zone_contiguous() compute the wrong zone contiguity state. If extra poisoned-page checks are added in this path, such as PF_POISONED_CHECK() in page_zone_id(), it can also trigger an early boot panic. Initialize gigantic bootmem HugeTLB struct pages from page_alloc_init_late(), before zone contiguity is evaluated, so later page allocator setup only sees valid struct page state. This also makes the initialization order more natural, as struct pages should be initialized before later code inspects them.

2026-07-28powerpc/mm: fix wrong addr_pfn tracking in compound vmemmap populationMuchun Song
vmemmap_populate_compound_pages() uses addr_pfn to determine the PFN offset within a compound page and to decide whether the current vmemmap slot should be populated as a head page mapping or should reuse a tail page mapping. However, addr_pfn is advanced manually in parallel with addr. The loop itself progresses in vmemmap address space, so each PAGE_SIZE step in addr covers PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page) struct page slots. Since addr_pfn is compared against nr_pages in data-PFN units, it should advance by the same number of PFNs. The existing manual increments do not match that and therefore do not reliably track the PFN corresponding to the current addr. As a result, pfn_offset can be computed from the wrong PFN and the code can make the head/tail decision for the wrong compound-page position. Fix this by deriving addr_pfn directly from the current vmemmap address instead of carrying it as loop state.

2026-07-28mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix __hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios()Muchun Song
__hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios() uses incorrect arguments when handling bootmem HugeTLB folios. The section number passed to register_page_bootmem_memmap() is derived from the vmemmap virtual address of folio->page instead of the folio PFN, so the bootmem memmap metadata can be registered against the wrong section. The helper is also given HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_SIZE even though it expects a page count, not a size in bytes. In addition, the write-protect range is based on pages_per_huge_page(h), which does not cover the full HugeTLB vmemmap area and can leave part of the shared tail vmemmap mapping writable. Fix the section lookup to use folio_pfn(folio), use HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_PAGES when registering the reserved memmap pages, and use hugetlb_vmemmap_size(h) for the write-protect range.
