Patch series "mm: Refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation", v4.
This series is split out from the earlier larger series "mm: Generalize
HVO for HugeTLB and device DAX" [1]. It collects the first 19 patches of
that series as a standalone set of fixes and preparatory cleanups around
bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and related
vmemmap setup.
The first patches fix a few bugs found while reviewing the existing code,
including incorrect bootmem HVO handling, wrong vmemmap registration
arguments, a powerpc compound-vmemmap tracking bug, and too-late
initialization of gigantic bootmem HugeTLB struct pages.
The rest of the series reorders early memory initialization so the
relevant zone state is available before sparse and HugeTLB boot-time setup
runs, then simplifies the remaining bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation
path and removes code made obsolete by that rework.
At a high level:
- patches [1-4] fix boot-time and arch-specific bugs
- patches [5-12] reorder and simplify sparse/mm/hugetlb early init
- patches [13-19] refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation and
remove obsolete helpers and state
This patch (of 19):
Commit 622026e87c40 ("mm/hugetlb: remove fake head pages") switched
HVO to reuse per-zone shared tail pages from zone->vmemmap_tails[].
Those shared tail pages were initialized in hugetlb_vmemmap_init(), but
bootmem HugeTLB folios are prepared earlier from
gather_bootmem_prealloc(). With hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on,
prep_and_add_bootmem_folios() can access pageblock flags on bootmem
HugeTLB pages whose mirrored tail struct pages already point to the shared
tail page. On CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels, get_pfnblock_bitmap_bitidx() then
dereferences the still-uninitialized shared tail page and can panic during
boot.
Initialize zone->vmemmap_tails[] from gather_bootmem_prealloc(), before
bootmem HugeTLB folios are processed, and drop the later initialization
from hugetlb_vmemmap_init().
This bug only affects CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels, where the relevant
assertion is evaluated.

This code uses flag equivalences to try to optimise conversion from GFP_
to ALLOC_ but there's no clear reason to believe it makes things faster.
Even if it gets rid of conditional branches, it just trades them for a
data dependency.
CPUs are pretty good at conditional branches. But, in my GCC x86 build it
doesn't look like there are any branches anyway, the compiler found some
conditional instruction tricks. (Caveat: This was extracted & annotated
by Gemini AI, I did not actually read the disasm myself)
Old code:
ae50: 8b 04 24 mov (%rsp),%eax # Load gfp_mask
...
ae5d: 41 89 c4 mov %eax,%r12d
ae64: 41 81 e4 20 08 00 00 and $0x820,%r12d # Mask both flags at once
...
ae6f: 44 89 e1 mov %r12d,%ecx
ae77: 83 c9 40 or $0x40,%ecx # OR with ALLOC_CPUSET (0x40)
ae7a: 89 4c 24 60 mov %ecx,0x60(%rsp) # Store to alloc_flags
New code:
For __GFP_HIGH ( 0x20 ):
It uses the Carry Flag (via sbb ) to conditionally add 0x20 to the base 0x40 ( ALLOC_CPUSET ) flag:
ae63: 83 e0 20 and $0x20,%eax # Test __GFP_HIGH
...
ae6a: 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%eax # Set carry flag if 0
ae6f: 45 19 e4 sbb %r12d,%r12d # %r12d = (gfp & 0x20) ? 0 : -1
ae80: 41 83 e4 e0 and $0xffffffe0,%r12d # %r12d = (gfp & 0x20) ? 0 : -32
ae87: 41 83 c4 60 add $0x60,%r12d # %r12d = (gfp & 0x20) ? 0x60 : 0x40
For __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM ( 0x800 ):
It uses a conditional move ( cmov ) later in the function to set the ALLOC_KSWAPD ( 0x800 ) bit:
ae72: 25 00 08 00 00 and $0x800,%eax # Test __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM
ae77: 89 44 24 30 mov %eax,0x30(%rsp) # Store result
...
af2c: 80 cf 08 or $0x8,%bh # Set ALLOC_KSWAPD (0x800) in temp reg
af2f: 45 85 c9 test %r9d,%r9d # Check if __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM was set
af32: 0f 44 d8 cmove %eax,%ebx # If not, revert to flags without it

Seems like a wash.
So, drop the flag value coupling here and let the compiler and CPU do
their job. Superscalar CPUs are pretty neat after all.

Add a userspace filtering tool for page_owner that supports per-fd
filtering with print_mode and NUMA node filters.
Features:
- Three print modes: stack (default), handle, stack_handle
- NUMA node filtering with flexible formats (single: 0, multiple: 0,1,2,
range: 0-3, mixed: 0,2-3)
- Per-file-descriptor filter state for independent filtering
Usage examples:
# Filter by print mode
./page_owner_filter -m handle
./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle
# Filter by NUMA node
./page_owner_filter -n 0
./page_owner_filter -n 0-3
# Combined filters
./page_owner_filter -m stack -n 0,1,2
./page_owner_filter -m handle -n 0,2-3
The tool validates inputs before sending commands to the kernel and
provides clear error messages when the kernel does not support
per-fd filtering.

Add NUMA node filtering functionality to page_owner to allow filtering
pages by specific NUMA node(s). This is useful for NUMA-aware memory
allocation analysis and debugging.
The filter supports flexible input formats:
- Single node: nid=0
- Multiple nodes: nid=0,2,3
- Node range: nid=0-3
- Mixed format: nid=0,2-4,7
Example usage:
# Using the page_owner_filter tool (recommended)
./page_owner_filter -n 0-3
./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle -n 0,2-4,7
The implementation uses per-file-descriptor filter state stored in
file->private_data, allowing each opener to have independent filter
configuration. It uses nodemask_t for efficient multi-node filtering and
nodelist_parse() for flexible input parsing. Node validity is verified
using nodes_subset() to reject nodes without memory.

Patch series "mm/page_owner: add per-fd filter infrastructure for
print_mode and NUMA filtering", v12.
This patch series introduces per-file-descriptor filtering capabilities to the
page_owner feature.
Problem Statement
=================
In production environments with large memory configurations (e.g.,
250GB+), collecting page_owner information often results in files ranging
from several gigabytes to over 10GB. This creates significant challenges:
1. Storage pressure on production systems
2. Difficulty transferring large files from production environments
3. Post-processing overhead with tools/mm/page_owner_sort.c
The primary contributor to file size is redundant stack trace information.
While the kernel already deduplicates stacks via stackdepot, page_owner
retrieves and stores full stack traces for each page, only to deduplicate
them again during post-processing.
Additionally, in NUMA-aware environments (e.g., DPDK-based cloud
deployments where QEMU processes are bound to specific NUMA nodes), OOM
events are often node-specific rather than system-wide. Previously,
page_owner could not filter by NUMA node, forcing users to collect and
analyze data for all nodes.
Solution
========
This patch series introduces a per-file-descriptor filter infrastructure
with two initial filters:
1. **Print Mode Filter**: Outputs only stack handles instead of
full stack traces. The handle-to-stack mapping can be retrieved
from the existing show_stacks_handles interface. This dramatically
reduces output size while preserving all allocation metadata.
2. **NUMA Node Filter**: Allows filtering pages by specific NUMA node(s)
using flexible nodelist format, enabling targeted analysis of memory
issues in NUMA-aware deployments.
The per-fd design allows multiple concurrent page_owner reads with
different filters, solving coordination issues in multi-user production
environments.
Implementation
==============
The series is structured as follows:
- Patch 1: Implement print_mode filter infrastructure
* Add file->private_data to store per-fd filter state
* Add .open, .release, and .write file operations
* Support "stack", "handle", and "stack_handle" modes via "mode=" write commands
- Patch 2: Implement NUMA node filter infrastructure
* Add nid_filter field to per-fd state
* Support flexible nodelist format via "nid=" write commands (single, multiple, ranges)
* Validate nodes and reject non-existent nodes using nodes_subset()
- Patch 3: Add page_owner_filter userspace tool
* Manages per-fd filters via write() interface
* Provides user-friendly command-line interface
* Includes comprehensive input validation
- Patch 4: Document filter features and usage
Usage Example
=============
Using the page_owner_filter tool with per-fd filters:
# ./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle -n "0,2-3" -o page_owner.txt
The tool opens /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner, sets filters via write(),
then reads the filtered output to the specified file (or stdout).
Sample print_mode output (showing handles only):
Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x0(), pid 0, tgid 0 (swapper),
ts 0 ns PFN 0x40000 type Unmovable Block 512 type Unmovable
Flags 0x3fffe0000000000(node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)
handle: 1048577
Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x252000(__GFP_NOWARN|
__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_THISNODE), pid 0, tgid 0 (swapper),
ts 0 ns PFN 0x40002 type Unmovable Block 512 type Unmovable
Flags 0x23fffe0000000200(workingset|node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)
handle: 1048577
This patch (of 4):
Add a print_mode filter to page_owner that allows users to choose between
printing stack traces, stack handles, or both, providing flexibility for
different debugging and analysis scenarios.
The filter provides three modes via page_owner:
- Writing "mode=stack" prints stack traces for each page (default)
- Writing "mode=handle" prints only the handle number
- Writing "mode=stack_handle" prints both stack traces and handles
The default stack mode maintains backward compatibility with existing
usage, displaying complete stack traces for each page allocation.
The handle mode dramatically reduces log size and improves performance by
showing only the handle number instead of the full stack trace. Testing
shows handle mode reduces output size by ~66% (84MB vs 244MB) and improves
read performance by ~4.4x compared to full stack output. The mapping from
handles to actual stack traces can be obtained via the show_stacks_handles
interface.
The stack_handle mode prints both stack traces and handles, making it
easier to identify pages with the same allocation pattern by comparing
handle numbers instead of comparing large stack traces.
Example usage:
# Using the page_owner_filter tool (recommended)
./page_owner_filter -m stack # Print only stack traces (default)
./page_owner_filter -m handle # Print only handles
./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle # Print both stack and handles
Sample output (handle mode):
Page allocated via order 0, migratetype Unmovable, gfp_mask 0x1100ca,
pid 1, tgid 1 (systemd), ts 123456789 ns
PFN 0x1000 type Unmovable Block 1 type Unmovable
Flags 0x3fffe800000084(referenced|lru|active|private|node=0|zone=1)
handle: 17432583
...
This implementation uses per-file-descriptor filter state stored in
file->private_data, allowing each opener to have independent filter
configuration.

Patch series "mm/migrate: preparatory cleanups for batch copy and
offload", v2.
This is a small set of mm/migrate cleanups split out of the batch-copy and
offload RFC [1], so they can be reviewed and merged independently ahead of
that larger series.
No functional change intended.
This patch (of 3):
Rename migrate_folio_undo_src()'s page_was_mapped parameter to was_mapped,
unmap_and_move_huge_page() to unmap_and_move_hugetlb_folio(), its
page_was_mapped variable to was_mapped and fix stale "page" wording in its
comments.
Also fix migrate_folio() kerneldoc to say "folio" instead of "page".

migrate_vma_collect() uses walk_page_range() to walk the page table.
Fortunately, migrate_vma_setup() already validates that the entire range
falls within a single VMA.
Since there is no .test_walk in migrate_vma_walk_ops and VM_PFNMAP was
filtered by migrate_vma_setup(), it's safe to replace walk_page_range()
with walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate an unnecessary find_vma() lookup.

The mlock_vma_pages_range() uses walk_page_range() to walk the page table.
Fortunately, the caller always passes start/end that falls within a
single VMA, apply_vma_lock_flags() iterates per-VMA, and
apply_mlockall_flags() passes the whole VMA.
Since there is no .test_walk in mlock_walk_ops and VM_PFNMAP was filtered
by vma_supports_mlock(), it's safe to replace walk_page_range() with
walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate an unnecessary find_vma() lookup.

In mprotect_fixup(), the PROT_NONE PFN permission check uses
walk_page_range() to walk the page table. Fortunately, the caller always
passes start/end that falls within a single VMA, the do_mprotect_pkey()
iterates per-VMA via for_each_vma_range(), and setup_arg_pages() passes
the whole VMA.
Note, walk_page_test() isn't called in walk_page_range_vma(), however,
prot_none_test() in prot_none_walk_ops always return 0, so it's safe to
replace walk_page_range() with walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate an
unnecessary find_vma() lookup, also remove unneeded prot_none_test() too.

Patch series "mm: convert to walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate
find_vma()", v2.
walk_page_range() performs a find_vma() lookup on each page table walk.
For callers that already hold a valid VMA and operate on a known
single-VMA range, this lookup is redundant. Replace walk_page_range()
with walk_page_range_vma() where the caller guarantees single-VMA
semantics.
This patch (of 4):
do_mincore() uses walk_page_range() to walk the page table. Fortunately,
the caller always passes start/end that falls within a single VMA, so it's
safe to use the walk_page_range_vma() in do_mincore() to eliminate an
unnecessary find_vma() lookup.
Unlike walk_page_range(), walk_page_range_vma() does not call
walk_page_test(), which handles VM_PFNMAP by invoking ->pte_hole() to skip
the page table walk. Without this check, PFNMAP PTEs would be treated as
present by mincore_pte_range(), changing the returned residency status.
Handle VM_PFNMAP explicitly in do_mincore() to preserve the original
behavior.

print_page_owner_memcg()
print_page_owner_memcg() reads page->memcg_data via READ_ONCE() at the
start to guard against tail pages and NULL data. However, it later
re-reads page->memcg_data locklessly in two places:
1: page_memcg_check(page)
2: PageMemcgKmem(page) (via folio_memcg_kmem(), which includes
VM_BUG_ON assertions for tail pages and MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS)
If the page is concurrently freed and reallocated as a THP tail page or
slab page between these calls, the VM_BUG_ON assertions can trigger on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y builds, crashing the kernel.
Fix both TOCTOU issues by using the memcg_data snapshot throughout.

boundary
The lockless buddy_order_unsafe() read can return a garbage order value if
the page is concurrently allocated between the PageBuddy check and the
private read. If this bogus order is <= MAX_PAGE_ORDER,
skip_buddy_pages() would arbitrarily advance the PFN, potentially jumping
past a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary whose pfn_valid() check would have
caught an offline memory section.
In read_page_owner(), which relies solely on boundary-aligned pfn_valid()
to guard pfn_to_page(), skipping the boundary could cause pfn_to_page() to
access an unmapped mem_section.
Clamp the advance so it never crosses the next MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
boundary. This is safe for all three callers: the pageblock-iterating
ones already handle boundary transitions in their outer loops, and for
read_page_owner() the worst case is one extra PageBuddy check per 1024
pages when a bogus order would otherwise push past the boundary.

The free_ts_nsec field is a free-event timestamp, but it was printed in
the allocation summary line alongside ts_nsec (allocation time). Move it
to the free section where it logically belongs, together with free_pid and
free_tgid. This also makes __dump_page_owner() consistent with
print_page_owner(), which only prints ts_nsec in the allocation summary.
The output now groups all free-related information (pid, tgid, timestamp,
stack trace) in one place.

missing a trailing \n. simple_attr_read() uses scnprintf() with the
format string, which does not append a newline, so reading
/sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_stacks/count_threshold produces output
without a terminating newline. Add the missing \n to match the standard

Replace all 'int reason' function parameters that carry migrate_reason
values with the proper 'enum migrate_reason' type. This makes the intent
explicit and leverages compiler type checking. The affected subsystems
are:
- page_owner: __folio_set_owner_migrate_reason(),
folio_set_owner_migrate_reason()
- migrate: migrate_pages(), migrate_pages_sync(),
migrate_pages_batch(), migrate_folios_move(),
migrate_hugetlbs(), unmap_and_move_huge_page()
- hugetlb: move_hugetlb_state(), htlb_allow_alloc_fallback()
- trace: mm_migrate_pages and mm_migrate_pages_start events
The 'short last_migrate_reason' struct field and internal helper parameter
in page_owner are intentionally left as 'short' since they store per-page
metadata where size matters.
No functional change.

last_migrate_reason
The last_migrate_reason field uses -1 as a sentinel value to mean "no
migration has happened". Replace the four bare -1 occurrences by adding a
proper MR_NEVER member to enum migrate_reason, defining a corresponding
"never_migrated" string in the MIGRATE_REASON trace macro, and updating
the GDB page_owner script to use MR_NEVER instead of the hardcoded -1 so
that lx-dump-page-owner does not incorrectly report unmigrated pages as
migrated.

Patch series "mm/page_owner: misc cleanups", v6.
This series collects a few cleanups for mm/page_owner.c that have been
accumulated while reading through the file. There is no functional change
-- the goal is to make the code easier to read and maintain.
Patch 1 consolidates three identical PageBuddy skip blocks into a single
skip_buddy_pages() helper, eliminating the duplication and keeping the
lockless-read comment in one place.
Patch 2 replaces the -1 magic number used for "never migrated" with a
proper MR_NEVER member in enum migrate_reason, adds the corresponding
"never_migrated" string in the MIGRATE_REASON trace macro, and updates the
GDB page_owner script to use MR_NEVER so that lx-dump-page-owner correctly
detects unmigrated pages.
Patch 3 follows up by converting the remaining 'int reason' parameters
throughout the migration and hugetlb callchains to 'enum migrate_reason',
making the type explicit and gaining compiler checking. The 'short
last_migrate_reason' struct field in page_owner is intentionally left as
'short' since it is per-page metadata where size matters.
Patch 4 hoists the CONFIG_MEMCG guard out of print_page_owner_memcg()'s
body so that the real implementation and the empty stub are two clearly
separate definitions, the common kernel idiom.
Patch 5 adds a missing \n to the count_threshold debugfs attribute format
string so that cat(1) output is properly terminated.
Patch 6 moves free_ts_nsec from the allocation summary line to the free
section in __dump_page_owner(), grouping it with free_pid and free_tgid
where it logically belongs. This also makes the dump output consistent
with print_page_owner().
Patch 7 drops the redundant page_owner_ prefix from file-scoped static
symbols (stack_fops, threshold_fops, etc.). Since they cannot collide
across translation units, the prefix carries no information.
Patch 8 clamps the PFN advance in skip_buddy_pages() at the next
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary. The lockless buddy_order_unsafe() read can
return a garbage order value if the page is concurrently allocated between
the PageBuddy check and the private read, potentially causing the PFN to
advance past the next bounadry whose pfn_valid() check would have caught
an offline memory section. In read_page_owner(), which relies solely on
boundary-aligned pfn_valid() to guard pfn_to_page(), this could lead to an
unmapped mem_section access.
Patch 9 avoids two TOCTOU issues in print_page_owner_memcg() by reusing
the page->memcg_data snapshot already taken via READ_ONCE at the top of
the function throughout, instead of calling page_memcg_check() and
PageMemcgKmem() which re-read page->memcg_data locklessly with VM_BUG_ON
assertions. If the page is concurrently freed and reallocated as a THP
tail or slab page between the initial guards and these later calls, those
assertions can fire on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y builds. The OBJEXTS (slab) case
is also simplified with an early return since objcg != memcg for slabs.
This patch (of 6):
Three places in page_owner.c duplicate the same pattern: check if a page
is PageBuddy, read its order via buddy_order_unsafe(), advance the pfn
past the buddy block if the order is valid, and continue.
Consolidate them into a single inline helper skip_buddy_pages(). The
function returns true (skip) for any buddy page and advances @pfn past the
block when the order is valid; returns false if the page is not a buddy
page and should be processed normally.
The old init_pages_in_zone() variant used "order > 0" as an extra guard
before advancing pfn, but the continue was unconditional and (1UL << 0) -
1 == 0, so the behaviour is identical. The comment about zone->lock is
preserved in the helper's kernel-doc.
No functional change.

Patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task", v3.
kmemleak_scan() scans every task stack under one rcu_read_lock() with no
reschedule point, which can trip the soft lockup watchdog on hosts with
very many threads.
That prints the following message, depending on the workload+host
configuration:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537]
scan_block
kmemleak_scan
kmemleak_scan_thread
kthread
Patch 1 walks the tasks with find_ge_pid() so the scan reschedules between
tasks
Patches 2-3 let the scan loops stop early once a scan is interrupted.
This patch (of 3):
kmemleak_scan() walks every thread and scans its kernel stack under a
single rcu_read_lock() with no reschedule point. On a host with very many
threads -- amplified by KASAN/lockdep in debug builds -- this loop can hog
a CPU long enough to trip the soft lockup watchdog:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537]
scan_block
kmemleak_scan
kmemleak_scan_thread
kthread
A cond_resched() cannot be added directly: the loop runs inside an RCU
read-side critical section.
Walk the tasks one PID at a time with find_ge_pid(), taking the RCU read
lock only to look up and pin each task. The stack is then scanned with no
lock held, so cond_resched() runs between tasks and the scan stops early
on scan_should_stop(). This follows the next_tgid()/task_seq_get_next()
iteration pattern and keeps each RCU critical section short.

Commit 9a5b183941b5 ("mm, percpu: do not consider sleepable allocations
atomic") allows sleepable GFP_NOIO and GFP_NOFS percpu allocations to take
pcpu_alloc_mutex. This avoids premature allocation failures, but it also
makes the mutex visible to callers from constrained IO/FS contexts.
Thread A calls pcpu_alloc_noprof() with GFP_KERNEL and takes
pcpu_alloc_mutex. Since the internal allocation is not constrained by
NOFS, it may enter FS reclaim while still holding pcpu_alloc_mutex,
creating a dependency like: pcpu_alloc_mutex -> fs_reclaim -> FS lock
At the same time, Thread B may already hold an FS lock and then call
pcpu_alloc_noprof() with GFP_NOFS. It will try to acquire
pcpu_alloc_mutex and block, creating the reverse dependency: FS lock ->
pcpu_alloc_mutex
This can still form a potential deadlock cycle.
Avoid the dependency by restricting percpu backing allocations to
GFP_NOIO. The public allocation still uses the caller's GFP context to
decide whether it may block, but the internal memory allocations performed
while pcpu_alloc_mutex is held cannot recurse into IO or FS reclaim.

pcpu_depopulate_chunk() only needs the temporary pages array that was
already allocated by an earlier successful population attempt. Passing
GFP_KERNEL to pcpu_get_pages() in this path is misleading because the
depopulation path is not expected to allocate the array.
Teach pcpu_get_pages() to treat a zero gfp mask as a cached-only lookup
and add pcpu_get_pages_cached() for that use case. This keeps allocation
on the populate path tied to the caller supplied GFP mask while making the
depopulate path's dependency on the cached array explicit.

pcpu_alloc_noprof() derives pcpu_gfp from the caller supplied GFP mask and
passes it down to pcpu_populate_chunk(). pcpu_alloc_pages() already uses
that mask for backing page allocation.
However, the populate slow path still has internal allocations and page
table allocations which can lose the caller's allocation context. The
temporary pages array is allocated by pcpu_get_pages() with GFP_KERNEL,
and pcpu_map_pages() maps the backing pages through
vmap_pages_range_noflush() using GFP_KERNEL. The latter can allocate
vmalloc page tables implicitly, so a caller which deliberately uses
GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO can still enter FS or IO reclaim while populating a
percpu chunk.
This has the same concern as chunk creation: callers such as blk-cgroup
may use GFP_NOIO because they hold locks which can be involved in queue
freeze or IO reclaim dependencies. If an allocation reaches the percpu
slow path and needs to populate previously unbacked pages, the internal
GFP_KERNEL allocations can defeat that context.
One possible case is blk-cgroup after commit 5d726c4dbeed ("blk-cgroup:
fix possible deadlock while configuring policy"). blkg_conf_prep() now
serializes against blkcg_deactivate_policy() with q->blkcg_mutex, and
blkg_alloc() was changed to GFP_NOIO for that reason:
CPU0: blkg_conf_prep()
mutex_lock(q->blkcg_mutex)
blkg_alloc(..., GFP_NOIO)
alloc_percpu_gfp(..., GFP_NOIO)
pcpu_alloc_noprof(..., GFP_NOIO)
pcpu_populate_chunk(GFP_NOIO)
pcpu_get_pages()
pcpu_map_pages()
-> if the selected percpu chunk has unpopulated pages,
chunk population may do internal GFP_KERNEL allocations
-> direct reclaim / writeback can issue IO to this queue
-> IO waits because the queue is frozen
CPU1: blkcg_deactivate_policy()
blk_mq_freeze_queue(q)
mutex_lock(q->blkcg_mutex)
-> waits for CPU0
... unfreeze only happens after q->blkcg_mutex is acquired/released
So the concern is that the caller deliberately uses GFP_NOIO because it
may hold a lock which can be acquired after queue freeze, but the percpu
slow path can temporarily lose that allocation context.
Pass pcpu_gfp through pcpu_get_pages(), pcpu_map_pages() and
__pcpu_map_pages(). Apply the corresponding memalloc scope around
vmap_pages_range_noflush(), because vmalloc page table allocation does not
pass the GFP mask down explicitly. Keep the first chunk setup path using
GFP_KERNEL, matching the previous early-init behavior.

Patch series "mm/percpu: Fix possible NOFS/NOIO reclaim recursion", v4.
Commit 9a5b183941b5 ("mm, percpu: do not consider sleepable allocations
atomic") allowed GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO percpu allocations to use
pcpu_alloc_mutex and the chunk creation slow path. This restored the
allocation capability that was lost when those constrained allocations
were treated as atomic, but it also makes the percpu slow path visible to
callers from constrained reclaim contexts.
There are two related problems.
First, the create and populate slow paths do not fully preserve the
caller's allocation constraints. pcpu_alloc_noprof() derives pcpu_gfp
from the caller supplied GFP mask and passes it down to the percpu backing
page allocator. However, chunk creation calls pcpu_get_vm_areas(), and
chunk population can allocate temporary metadata or vmalloc page tables
while mapping backing pages. Those internal allocations can still use
GFP_KERNEL, so a caller using GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO can enter unconstrained
FS or IO reclaim while holding pcpu_alloc_mutex.
One possible case is blk-cgroup after commit 5d726c4dbeed ("blk-cgroup:
fix possible deadlock while configuring policy"). blkg_conf_prep() now
serializes against blkcg_deactivate_policy() with q->blkcg_mutex, and
blkg_alloc() uses GFP_NOIO because queue freeze and IO reclaim
dependencies can otherwise deadlock. If the percpu slow path loses that
GFP_NOIO context, direct reclaim or writeback can issue IO to a frozen
queue while q->blkcg_mutex is held.
Second, allowing sleepable GFP_NOFS/GFP_NOIO allocations to take
pcpu_alloc_mutex means that unconstrained backing allocations made under
the mutex can create an FS/IO reclaim dependency against a constrained
caller which already holds an FS or IO lock and then waits for
pcpu_alloc_mutex.
This series fixes those issues in three steps:
- pass the caller supplied GFP mask into pcpu_get_vm_areas() and use it
for vmalloc metadata and KASAN shadow allocations;
- pass the GFP mask through the chunk population path, including the
temporary pages array and vmalloc page table allocation scope;
- restrict percpu backing allocations performed while holding
pcpu_alloc_mutex to GFP_NOIO, so they cannot recurse into IO or FS
reclaim.
This keeps sleepable GFP_NOFS/GFP_NOIO percpu allocations working, while
avoiding the reclaim recursion risks introduced by making those
allocations eligible for the mutex-protected slow path.
This patch (of 4):
pcpu_alloc_noprof() derives pcpu_gfp from the caller supplied GFP mask and
passes it down to the backing percpu allocator. However, when the percpu
vmalloc allocator has to create a new chunk, pcpu_create_chunk() calls
pcpu_get_vm_areas() to allocate the corresponding vmalloc areas.
pcpu_get_vm_areas() currently performs its internal allocations with
GFP_KERNEL, including vmap area metadata, vm_struct metadata and KASAN
vmalloc shadow population. This means that a caller which deliberately
uses GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO can still enter FS or IO reclaim while creating
the vmalloc areas for a new percpu chunk.
One possible case is blk-cgroup after commit 5d726c4dbeed ("blk-cgroup:
fix possible deadlock while configuring policy"). blkg_conf_prep() now
serializes against blkcg_deactivate_policy() with q->blkcg_mutex, and
blkg_alloc() was changed to GFP_NOIO for that reason:
CPU0: blkg_conf_prep()
mutex_lock(q->blkcg_mutex)
blkg_alloc(..., GFP_NOIO)
alloc_percpu_gfp(..., GFP_NOIO)
pcpu_alloc_noprof(..., GFP_NOIO)
pcpu_create_chunk(GFP_NOIO)
pcpu_get_vm_areas()
-> if percpu chunks are exhausted, chunk create may do
internal GFP_KERNEL allocations
-> direct reclaim / writeback can issue IO to this queue
-> IO waits because the queue is frozen
CPU1: blkcg_deactivate_policy()
blk_mq_freeze_queue(q)
mutex_lock(q->blkcg_mutex)
-> waits for CPU0
... unfreeze only happens after q->blkcg_mutex is acquired/released
So the concern is that the caller deliberately uses GFP_NOIO because it
may hold a lock which can be acquired after queue freeze, but the percpu
slow path can temporarily lose that allocation context.
Pass the caller supplied GFP mask from pcpu_create_chunk() to
pcpu_get_vm_areas(), and use it for the internal vmalloc metadata and
KASAN shadow allocations.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that
only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very
confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when
dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead.
So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by
the compilers.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

Patch series "mm/filemap: reduce unnecessary xarray lookups".
This series optimizes xarray lookups in filemap by avoiding redundant
iterations after obtaining the last needed folio. The boundary check is
moved to before advancing the xarray iterator, eliminating unnecessary
lookups and branches in the fast path. This reduces the overhead of
filemap_get_read_batch() from 2.91% to 2.53% in 4k read tests.
This patch (of 2):
When reading small amounts of data from the page cache, only a single
folio is typically returned from filemap_read_get_batch(). In this case,
calling xas_advance() or xas_next() after adding the folio to the batch is
unnecessary and only introduces extra branches.
The same issue exists for large reads, where one additional xarray walk is
always performed before termination.
Quit the loop once we get the last folio in the range, so the final
redundant xarray advancement can be avoided.
The xas_next() does not update xa_index when xas->xa_node is set to
XAS_RESTART, so the put and retry path would not update xa_index, hence
the warning should therefore never trigger.
During the 4k reads test, the overhead of this function dropped from 2.91%
to 2.53%.

LRU add batches can be drained before they reach capacity. This can be a
source of LRU lock contention, but it is not currently possible to
attribute these drains to callers with existing tracepoints.
Add mm_lru_add_drain to report the CPU and lru_add batch count when an
lru_add batch is drained. This allows tracing to distinguish full drains
from partial drains and attribute them to the calling stack.
Add mm_lru_add_drain_all to capture callers of __lru_add_drain_all and
whether they set the force flag for all CPUs. The tracepoint resembles
the signature of the enclosing function, but is needed because of
potential inlining.
Note that DECLARE_TRACE() is used for these new trace hooks to avoid
creating a new trace event ABI.

open-coded the for_each_mem_cgroup iterator. Update the comment.
Finally, 99430ab8b804c ("mm: introduce BPF kfuncs to access memcg
statistics and events") added a second declaration for memcg_events to
include/linux/memcontrol.h, duplicating the one in mm/memcontrol-v1.h.
Let's clean that up too.
No functional changes intended.
