Wire the fault side of read-write protection tracking and turn the
userspace interface on.
An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd bit set. The PROT_NONE
triggers a fault on any access; the uffd bit distinguishes it from plain
mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA hinting.
Fault dispatch, per level:
PTE handle_pte_fault() -> do_uffd_rwp()
PMD __handle_mm_fault() -> do_huge_pmd_uffd_rwp()
hugetlb hugetlb_fault() -> hugetlb_handle_userfault()
The RWP branches gate on userfaultfd_pte_rwp() /
userfaultfd_huge_pmd_rwp() (VM_UFFD_RWP plus the uffd bit) and fall
through to do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() otherwise. Each
delivers a UFFD_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_RWP message through handle_userfault(); the
handler resolves it with UFFDIO_RWPROTECT clearing MODE_RWP.
userfaultfd_must_wait() and userfaultfd_huge_must_wait() add matching
protnone+uffd waiters so sync-mode fault handlers block correctly.
Expose the UAPI:
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP -> UFFD_API_REGISTER_MODES
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP -> UFFD_API_FEATURES
_UFFDIO_RWPROTECT -> UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS
UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS_BASIC
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP is masked out at UFFDIO_API time when PROT_NONE is not
available or VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE (32-bit), so userspace never sees
an advertised-but-broken feature.
Works on anonymous, shmem, and hugetlb memory.

Add the userspace interface for read-write protection tracking:
- UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP register a range for RWP tracking
- UFFD_FEATURE_RWP capability bit
- UFFDIO_RWPROTECT install / remove RWP on a range
Introduce CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP, auto-selected on 64-bit kernels with
ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE and HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP. The symbol gates
VM_UFFD_RWP (previously aliased to VM_NONE) and the smaps/trace-flag hooks
added in the preparatory patches; without it the UAPI bits added here have
nothing to drive and would be unreachable.
Registration sets VM_UFFD_RWP on the VMA. Combining MODE_WP with MODE_RWP
is rejected because both modes claim the uffd PTE bit.
UFFDIO_RWPROTECT is the bidirectional counterpart of
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT:
- MODE_RWP change_protection() with MM_CP_UFFD_RWP
installs PAGE_NONE and sets the uffd bit on
present PTEs
- !MODE_RWP change_protection() with MM_CP_UFFD_RWP_RESOLVE
restores vma->vm_page_prot and clears the bit
userfaultfd_clear_vma() runs the same resolve pass on unregister so RWP
state cannot outlive the uffd.
Re-registering a range must not drop a mode that installs per-PTE markers
(WP or RWP); doing so returns -EBUSY. This also closes a pre-existing
window where re-registering without MODE_WP would strand uffd-wp markers:
before, those caused extra write-faults but were otherwise benign; with
RWP preservation in place, a subsequent mprotect() on a VM_UFFD_RWP VMA
would silently promote the stale markers to RWP.
The feature is not yet advertised. UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP,
UFFD_FEATURE_RWP, and _UFFDIO_RWPROTECT are intentionally absent from
UFFD_API_REGISTER_MODES, UFFD_API_FEATURES, and UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS, so
UFFDIO_API masks them out and the register-mode validator rejects the bit.
The follow-up patch adds fault dispatch and exposes the UAPI.

Three mm paths outside the fault handler gate on the uffd PTE bit today:
khugepaged (skip collapse on ranges carrying markers), rmap (cap unmap
batching), and GUP (force a fault through gup_can_follow_protnone).
Extend each to treat VM_UFFD_RWP the same as VM_UFFD_WP; otherwise per-PTE
RWP state is silently destroyed or bypassed.
khugepaged: try_collapse_pte_mapped_thp() and
file_backed_vma_is_retractable() already refuse to collapse or retract
page tables on ranges carrying the uffd PTE bit. Broaden the VMA
predicate from userfaultfd_wp() to userfaultfd_protected() so VM_UFFD_RWP
ranges get the same protection. hpage_collapse_scan_pmd() needs no change
— its existing pte_uffd() check already catches an RWP PTE because it
carries the uffd bit.
rmap: folio_unmap_pte_batch() caps batching at 1 for VM_UFFD_RWP so the
restore path handles each PTE with its own marker.
GUP: gup_can_follow_protnone() forces a fault on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs
regardless of FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. RWP uses protnone as an
access-tracking marker, not for NUMA hinting, so any GUP — read or write
— must go through the userfaultfd fault path.

The uffd PTE bit must survive any kernel path that rewrites a PTE on a
VM_UFFD_RWP VMA, otherwise the marker that carries PAGE_NONE semantics is
silently dropped and the next access leaks past RWP tracking. Wire the
preservation through every path that rewrites a VM_UFFD_RWP PTE.
Swap and device-exclusive: do_swap_page(), restore_exclusive_pte(), and
unuse_pte() (swapoff()) re-apply PAGE_NONE when the swap PTE carries the
uffd bit and the VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP.
Migration: remove_migration_pte() and remove_migration_pmd() do the same
after the migration entry is replaced with a real PTE/PMD.
Fork: __copy_present_ptes(), copy_present_page(), copy_nonpresent_pte(),
copy_huge_pmd(), copy_huge_non_present_pmd(), and
copy_hugetlb_page_range() keep the uffd bit on the child when the
destination VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP, matching the existing VM_UFFD_WP
handling. Add VM_UFFD_RWP to VM_COPY_ON_FORK so the flag itself
propagates.
mprotect(): change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() restore PAGE_NONE
after pte_modify()/pmd_modify() have recomputed the base protection from a
(possibly user-changed) vm_page_prot. pte_modify() preserves _PAGE_UFFD,
so the bit stays; we just have to force PAGE_NONE back on top.

Preparatory patch. Add the change_protection() primitive that userfaultfd
RWP will use.
An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd PTE bit set. The
PROT_NONE half makes the CPU fault on any access; the uffd bit
distinguishes an RWP fault from a plain mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA
hinting fault. MM_CP_UFFD_WP and MM_CP_UFFD_RWP share the same PTE bit,
so the two cannot be used together on the same range.
Two new change_protection() flags:
MM_CP_UFFD_RWP install PAGE_NONE and set the uffd bit
MM_CP_UFFD_RWP_RESOLVE restore vma->vm_page_prot, clear the uffd bit
Both are wired through change_pte_range(), change_huge_pmd(), and
hugetlb_change_protection() so anon, shmem, THP, and hugetlb all share the
same semantics.

Preparatory patch for userfaultfd read-write protection (RWP). RWP
extends userfaultfd protection from plain write-protection (WP) to full
read-write protection: accesses to an RWP-protected range -- reads as well
as writes -- trap through userfaultfd.
Reserve VM_UFFD_RWP, add the userfaultfd_rwp() and userfaultfd_protected()
helpers, and wire up the smaps "ur" entry and the trace-flag table the
rest of the series will use. The flag is gated on CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP,
which is introduced together with the UAPI in a later patch; until then
VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE and every downstream check folds to dead code.
Nothing sets or queries the flag yet.

The uffd VMA-flag helpers read vma->vm_flags directly. Now that
config-gated per-mode masks exist, switch them to the vma_flags_t accessor
vma_test_any_mask(), which is the going-forward API and keeps a single
place (the VMA_UFFD_* masks) that knows which modes are available on the
current build.
No functional change: vma_flags_t is in union with vm_flags, so the same
bits are read, and the masks fold to the same code the open-coded vm_flags
tests produced -- verified identical on gcc and clang, 32- and 64-bit.

Userfaultfd RWP will reuse the uffd-wp PTE bit to mark access-tracking
PTEs, alongside the write-protected ones it already marks. The bit's
meaning now depends on the VMA flag (WP or RWP), not on its name.
Rename the kernel-internal names that describe the bit:
- pte/pmd/huge_pte accessors (and swap variants)
- pgtable_supports_uffd() capability query
- SCAN_PTE_UFFD khugepaged enum
The ftrace string emitted by mm_khugepaged_scan_pmd for this enum is
kept as "pte_uffd_wp" so existing trace-based tooling keeps matching.
Pure mechanical rename -- no behavior change.

Patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory", v10.
This series adds userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM
guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
tiered or remote storage.
This patch (of 15):
pte_protnone() and pmd_protnone() detect present-but-inaccessible page
table entries. This capability is useful beyond NUMA balancing -- for
example, userfaultfd working set tracking uses protnone PTEs to track page
access without unmapping pages.
Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE to decouple the protnone PTE
infrastructure from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING. The six architectures that
support protnone PTEs (x86_64, arm64, powerpc, s390, riscv, loongarch) now
select this option, and CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING depends on it.
No functional change -- the same set of architectures continues to have
working protnone support, but the infrastructure is now available
independently of NUMA balancing.

Leave the small set of LRU helper declarations that are used outside mm/

Patch series "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations", v9.
This series splits folio LRU and swap cleanup into three steps:
- move the page-cluster sysctl next to swap readahead in
mm/swap_state.c
- rename mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c after the swap-specific code
moves out
- move MM-internal reclaim declarations out of include/linux/swap.h
After this series, swap cache and swap-in readahead stay in
mm/swap_state.c. Folio LRU helpers live in mm/folio.c, and MM-internal
reclaim/workingset declarations move from include/linux/swap.h to
mm/internal.h (public LRU helpers used outside mm/ remain in swap.h).
The first patch handles the swap-specific page-cluster state before the
file rename, so the rename commit only carries folio LRU code. The last
patch keeps the LRU helpers used outside mm/ in include/linux/swap.h and
moves the internal reclaim/workingset declarations to mm/internal.h.
This patch (of 3):
page_cluster and the vm.page-cluster sysctl are only used by swap-in
readahead in swap_state.c. Move them out of swap.c together with
swap_readahead_setup(), and make page_cluster static to that file.
Rename swap_setup() while moving it as well. The helper is internal to MM
and now only sets up swap readahead defaults and its sysctl hook, so the
more specific name matches its reduced scope.
Call swap_readahead_setup() from swap_init() after moving it, keeping the
readahead defaults and sysctl registration with swap_state.c
initialization.
swap_setup() previously lived in mm/swap.c, which is built
unconditionally, so the vm.page-cluster sysctl was registered also on
CONFIG_SWAP=n kernels. After moving the setup into swap_state.c, which is
built only when CONFIG_SWAP is enabled, vm.page-cluster is no longer
registered there. The knob only tunes swap-in readahead and had no effect
without swap.

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.

should have positive size. But it is unclear who should verify it.
damon_set_regions() is the recommended DAMON core function for setting
regions from the callers, and has the verification. Update the comment to
clarify the callers should be ok to pass any values for region addresses,
as long as they use damon_set_regions().

Patch series "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries", v3.
There are various places which use ptep_get() to get the pte entry
corresponding to a hugetlb folio. Some arches (like s390) have special
handling to compute the pteval, so they provide huge_ptep_get(). Use this
helper consistently.
Additionally, some code paths may provide huge_ptep_get with an unaligned
address. This is a problem on arm64 (I checked other arches and it looks
fine for them), which is fixed in patch 1. The fix is made to be
backport-friendly: the cleaner fix would be to perhaps pass the hstate to
huge_ptep_get() - that is wider churn and we can do that later.
This patch (of 5):
try_to_unmap_one() handles hugetlb folios when memory failure needs to
replace a poisoned hugetlb mapping with a hwpoison entry. In that case
page_vma_mapped_walk() returns the pte pointer to the hugetlb folio in
pvmw.pte, but the code reads it with ptep_get().
On arches which provide their own huge_ptep_get() to dereference a huge
pte pointer, accessing via ptep_get() would cause pte_pfn(), pte_present()
etc to misbehave.
It is not clear whether this has a trivially visible effect to userspace.
Just use huge_ptep_get() for dereferencing a huge pte pointer.

Now that alloc_pages has an entrypoint that allows passing alloc_flags, we
can take advantage of this to start removing GFP flags that are only used
for mm-internal stuff.
This requires also plumbing the alloc_flags into some more of the
allocator code, in particular __alloc_pages[_noprof]() gets an alloc_flags
arg to go along with its callees, and we now need to pass those flags
deeper into the allocator so they can reach the alloc_tag code.
While moving the flag definition into page_alloc.h, also update the
comment per Hao's suggestion.
No functional change intended.

It's no longer used outside of mm/.
Since this means __alloc_pages_noprof() is no longer visible from gfp.h,
this also means moving the definition of alloc_pages_node_noprof into
the .c file.
Also remove references to this API from the documentation tree -
referring to the specific function name was already questionable but
now the function is not even public it definitely seems wrong.

There were only a few users, which have been removed. The only advantage
of this API over alloc_pages_node() is avoiding a single conditional
branch. The disadvantages are:
1. More API surface, more sources of confusion, more maintenance.
2. Worse impact of CPU hotplug bugs: most users of __alloc_pages_node()
were using the result of cpu_to_node(); if the CPU gets hotplugged
out this will return NUMA_NO_NODE. If one of these paths fails to
protect against a concurrent hotplug then page_alloc.c will use
NUMA_NO_NODE as an index into NODE_DATA() and cause some horrible
memory corruption or other. With alloc_pages_node(), the code might
just work fine.
Ulterior motive: this frees up the __* variants of the allocator APIs to
serve specifically for use as mm-internal API.

It's pretty confusing that:
- The slowpath and fastpath have a totally distinct set of alloc_flags.
- gfp_to_alloc_flags() sounds generic but it only influences the
slowpath.
Rename some variables to highlight which alloc_flags are
fastpath-specific. Rename gfp_to_alloc_flags() to highlight that it's
slowpath-specific.
gfp_to_alloc_flags_cma() and gfp_to_alloc_flags_nonblocking() currently
have perfectly harmless names, but to keep the naming consistent also
rename those to the alloc_flags_*() pattern (which already exists for
alloc_flags_nofragment()).

Patch series "mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits".
Data attribute counters (probe_hits) of DAMON are managed in the classical
way. The counter value is accumulated every sampling interval, gets the
complete view at the end of the aggregation interval, and is reset when
the next aggregation interval starts. Hence, the complete view can be
retrieved only once per aggregation interval, which can be quite long.
With the suggested intervals autotuning setup, it becomes 2-4 seconds in
common real production systems. It can span up to 200 seconds in theory.
This will restrict online monitoring use case of DAMON.
Actually DAMON is already providing online monitoring of probe_hits.
DAMON sysfs interface exposes the values via schemes tried regions
directory files. However, due to the above mentioned limitation, it
usually shows only partially accumulated hit counters and therefore not
useful.
DAMOS is not using probe_hits at the moment. In the future, using it can
further strengthen DAMOS. However, a recommended setup of DAMOS is
utilizing sampling/aggregation intervals auto-tuning, and having its own
DAMOS apply_interval (1 second is mostly recommended). In the setup,
DAMOS will nearly always show incompletely accumulated probe_hits, which
will not really be useful.
Data frequency counter (nr_accesses) of DAMON solves this problem using
the pseudo moving sum value. The infrastructure is not limited to
nr_accesses but general sampling based counters. Maintain and provide the
pseudo moving sum of probe_hits similar to nr_accesses, using the
infrastructure.
Tests
=====
On an idle system, I ran DAMON with an attribute probe filter for
non-anonymous page, using DAMON user-space tool, damo [1], like below.
$ sudo ./damo start --probe_filter allow non anon
Because the system is idle, nearly all memory is not an anonymous page but
a free page, so the probe_hits are expected to be nearly always full. In
this setup, since the sampling interval is 5ms and the aggregation
interval is 100ms, the counter value is expected to always be near 20.
On kernels not having this series, if we retrieve the probe hits in an
arbitrary time that is likely not aligned to the aggregation interval, the
values are usually much lower than the expectation like below. This is
because the tool is showing the incompletely aggregated values.
$ sudo ./damo report access --format append region "probe_hits: <probe hits>"
heatmap: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000008999999711111111000000000000000000000000

values on demand, using the infrastructure. Finally, patch 3 updates the
DAMON sysfs interface to expose the moving sum values to the schemes tried
regions directory.

Refactor out hugetlb_alloc_folio() from alloc_hugetlb_folio(), which
handles allocation of a folio and memory and HugeTLB charging to cgroups.
This refactoring decouples the HugeTLB page allocation from VMAs,
specifically:
1. Reservations (as in resv_map) are stored in the vma
2. mpol is stored at vma->vm_policy
3. A vma must be used for allocation even if the pages are not meant to be
used by host process.
Without this coupling, VMAs are no longer a requirement for allocation.
This opens up the allocation routine for usage without VMAs, which will
allow guest_memfd to use HugeTLB as a more generic allocator of huge
pages, since guest_memfd memory may not have any associated VMAs by
design. In addition, direct allocations from HugeTLB could possibly be
refactored to avoid the use of a pseudo-VMA.
Also, this decouples HugeTLB page allocation from HugeTLBfs, where the
subpool is stored at the fs mount. This is also a requirement for
guest_memfd, where the plan is to have a subpool created per-fd and stored
on the inode.
Provide and use alloc_flags to allow more allocation knobs in future
without expanding the number of parameters in hugetlb_alloc_folio().
No functional change intended.

Patch series "mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp".
TLDR: Replace damon_region->nr_accesses_bp, which is easy to be wrong,
with a simpler on-demand moving sum function, damon_nr_accesses_mvsum().
Background
==========
DAMON's monitoring output (access pattern snapshot, or more technically
speaking, damon_region->nr_accesses) is completed once per aggregation
interval, which is 100 ms by default. Users can arbitrarily increase the
interval for demand. Under the suggested intervals auto-tuning setup, it
can span up to 200 seconds. If the aggregation interval is too long, the
snapshot users cannot use it in reasonable time. To mitigate this, we
introduced a new field of damon_region, namely nr_accesses_bp. It
contains a pseudo moving sum of nr_accesses in bp units and is updated for
each sampling interval.
It turned out keeping it correctly updated every sampling interval is not
that easy. From online parameter update feature development and more
experimental hacks, we found it is easy to be corrupted. Once it is
corrupted, DAMON's monitoring outputs become quite insane. Hence we added
a few validation checks. It is easy to be corrupted because it requires
every update per sampling interval to be correct.
Solution
========
There is no real reason to keep it updated every sampling interval. Due
to the simple pseudo-moving sum mechanism and existing helper field
(last_nr_accesses), we can also calculate the pseudo moving sum on demand
in a much simpler way.
Implement a function for getting the pseudo moving sum on demand, and
replace nr_accessses_bp uses with the new function. Also remove no more
needed tests for nr_accesses_bp and the per-sampling interval update
functions. Finally, remove the nr_accesses_bp. The new function is quite
simple.
Discussion
==========
Depending on the use case, multiple nr_accesses readers could be executed
in the same kdamond_fn() main loop iteration, which is executed once per
sampling interval. Such readers include DAMON region exporting
tracepoints (damon_[region_]aggregated and damos_before_apply), DAMOS, and
DAMON sysfs interface logic for update_schemes_tried_regions command. In
this case, the new function will be called multiple times and this could
be overhead compared to the old logic, which simply reads the field
without any additional work. Nonetheless, the new function is quite
simple. And the new approach does nothing while there is no need to read.
The old approach had to execute its update function for each region for
every sampling interval. Hence the new approach is believed to be even
more lightweight in common case, and the overhead is anyway negligible.
One more advantage of this change is that one field from the damon_region
struct is removed. On setups that uses a high number of DAMON regions,
this could be a potential memory space benefit.
Patches Sequence
================
Patch 1 introduces the new function for getting the pseudo moving sum of
nr_accesses on demands. Patch 2 implements a unit test for the new
function's internal logic. Patch 3 and 4 update monitoring logic and the
new function to ready for safe use on the existing logic. Patches 5-7
replace uses of nr_accesses_bp in DAMOS, tracepoints and DAMON sysfs
interface with the new function, respectively. Patches 8-10 removes
nr_accesses_bp validation functions in DAMON core, one by one. Patches 11
and 12 further remove tests and test helper for nr_accesses_bp,
respectively. Patches 13 removes the setups and updates or nr_accesses_bp
field. Patches 14-16 cleans up function parameters that are no more being
used due to the previous patch. Patch 17 removes the function that was
used for updating nr_accesses_bp field with its unit test, which is the
single remaining caller of the function. Finally, patch 18 removes
damon_region->nr_accesses_bp field.
This patch (of 18):
Introduce a new DAMON core function, damon_nr_accesses_mvsum(). It
returns a pseudo moving sum value of a given region's nr_accesses for the
last aggregation interval. The internal logic is the same to
nr_accesses_bp. The difference is that nr_accesses_bp is updated for each
sampling interval, while the new function needs to be executed only when
requested. Hence the function's return value is the same as the value of
nr_accesses_bp.

We miss a failed allocation check for pgdat->per_cpu_nodestats, which
results in a NULL deref when we offset into the per-cpu area.
Propagate -ENOMEM up the stack and leave per_cpu_nodestats pointing at
boot_nodestats so a later online can retry the allocation.
hotadd_init_pgdat() returns NULL on failure, which __try_online_node()
already maps to -ENOMEM.
On failure nothing needs to be unwound:
- the node is never marked online
- per_cpu_nodestats is left pointing at boot_nodestats
- __add_memory_resource() cleans up pending memblock resources
- later online attempts retry the per_cpu_nodestats allocation

KCSAN reports a data race between page_to_nid()/folio_pgdat() reading
page->flags and folio_trylock()/folio_lock() concurrently doing
test_and_set_bit_lock(PG_locked, ...) on the same word, e.g.:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __lruvec_stat_mod_folio / shmem_get_folio_gfp
The race is benign: nid/zone bits are set once at page init and never
overlap with PG_locked. However, ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() inside
memdesc_nid/zonenum() was checking a by-value copy of the flags word, not
the live page->flags, so it failed to annotate the real access.
Change memdesc_nid(), memdesc_zonenum(), memdesc_section(), and
memdesc_is_zone_device() to take a const memdesc_flags_t * and update all
callers to pass &page->flags / &folio->flags, so ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS()
operates on the actual shared word.
Guard the ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_BITS() call in memdesc_zonenum() under
ZONES_WIDTH != 0 to avoid a zero-mask check on configs where the zone
field is absent. memdesc_section() needs no such guard, since
SECTIONS_WIDTH is never 0 wherever SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS is defined.
Under CONFIG_NUMA=n, memdesc_nid() itself is stubbed to "return 0" instead
of reading page->flags, since NODES_MASK is 0 and the check can never
fire; page_to_nid()/folio_nid() now just call memdesc_nid()
unconditionally and rely on that stub, instead of duplicating the
CONFIG_NUMA split at each call site.

Clean up mm/vmpressure.c by separating the cgroup v1 userspace eventfd
interface from the shared and v2 in-kernel code.
Currently, almost half of mm/vmpressure.c exists to serve tree=true:
struct vmpressure_event, the events list and its mutex, the work_struct
and vmpressure_work_fn that drains tree_scanned/tree_reclaimed, the parent
walk, vmpressure_event(), vmpressure_register_event(),
vmpressure_unregister_event(), and vmpressure_prio() (which always calls
vmpressure() with tree=true).
Move it all into mm/memcontrol-v1.c (built only when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=y) as
a single contiguous block, following the per-component layout already used
by that file. Keeping the v1 vmpressure code with the rest of the
deprecated cgroup v1 memory controller makes the full footprint of the
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 option easy to see in one place, which matters more than
component-level file separation for code that has no active development.
vmpressure.c keeps the shared bits (constants, vmpressure_calc_level, the
runtime hierarchy check, the tree=false body, init/cleanup plumbing) and
calls into three small v1 hooks for the tree=true accumulator and the v1
portions of init/cleanup. The hooks have static-inline no-op stubs in
include/linux/vmpressure.h for the !MEMCG_V1 case, so callers don't need
ifdefs. vmpressure_prio() gets the same treatment, which means vmscan.c's
call site disappears at compile time on v2-only kernels.
The only #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 in source remains around the v1-only
fields inside struct vmpressure itself.
Memory savings on CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=n (measured with pahole):
struct vmpressure : 112B -> 24B
struct mem_cgroup : 1664B -> 1536B
This split is the first step toward eventually making vmpressure
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 only. The v2 in-kernel socket pressure path (tree=false)
cannot be removed today immediately: PSI is not an exact replacement for
vmpressure, and switching networking socket-buffer back-off to PSI may
regress networking performance or increase memory pressure in workloads
that today rely on vmpressure's hysteresis. The medium-term plan is to
introduce a PSI-based socket-pressure path, keep vmpressure available for
v2 behind a defconfig as an opt-out for several releases, and only then
drop the tree=false path entirely, at which point everything that remains
of the vmpressure block in mm/memcontrol-v1.c is the whole subsystem.

CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION gates PMD-level migration entries.
PMD-level device-private entries use the same migration mechanism and
therefore require the same architecture support.
Upcoming PMD-level swap entries can use the same PMD softleaf helpers
without depending on page migration, so rename the architecture gate to
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES. This describes the PMD entry capability
rather than one current user of it.
This is a pure rename: the set of selecting architectures (x86, arm64,
s390, riscv, loongarch, and powerpc on PPC_BOOK3S_64) and the gating
semantics are unchanged.
No functional change intended.

Patch series "mm: preparatory patches for PMD level swap entries", v2.
This is the preparatory part of the PMD page table swapin work. The full
PMD swap entry series has been split into two parts:
1. this preparatory series, which contains the first 6 patches. Zi [1]
and Lance [2] suggested to separate this out from the core series.
2. the PMD swap entry core series, which depends on this one. I will
send this once the preparatory series is merged in mm-new as v3
as the combined is currently at v2 [1].
I have not marked this prep series as v3, as its not really adding
support for PMD swap entries.
This series does not introduce PMD swap entries and does not install any
new page-table entry type. It only cleans up existing PMD softleaf
helpers and call sites so the follow-up PMD swap entry series can be
smaller and easier to review.
It should be safe to merge independently. The patches are either helper
additions, refactors of existing open-coded logic, defensive checks that
preserve current migration/device-private behavior, or a mechanical rename
of the PMD softleaf Kconfig gate. The follow-up series depends on these
helpers, but this series does not depend on the follow-up series.
Patch breakdown:
1. mm: add softleaf_to_pmd() and convert existing callers
Add the PMD counterpart to softleaf_to_pte() and convert existing
swp_entry_to_pmd() users that are constructing PMD softleaf
entries.
2. mm: extract mm_prepare_for_swap_entries() helper
Hoist the "register mm with swapoff" double-checked-locking
pattern out of try_to_unmap_one() and copy_nonpresent_pte() so
future PMD-level users do not need another open-coded copy.
3. fs/proc: use softleaf_has_pfn() in pagemap PMD walker
Avoid assuming every non-present PMD softleaf entry encodes a PFN.
Existing migration/device-private behavior is preserved.
4. mm/huge_memory: move softleaf_to_folio() inside migration branch
Keep the folio lookup in change_non_present_huge_pmd() scoped to
the migration-entry branch that actually needs it.
5. mm/migrate_device: move softleaf_to_folio() inside device-private
branch
Apply the same ordering cleanup to migrate_vma_collect_pmd(): only
derive a folio after confirming the PMD entry is device-private.
6. mm: rename ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION to ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES
Rename the architecture gate to describe what it actually enables:
PMD softleaf entries. Migration remains the only current user in
this series; the follow-up series adds PMD swap entries.
This patch (of 6):
Add softleaf_to_pmd() as the PMD counterpart to softleaf_to_pte(),
completing the symmetry of the softleaf abstraction for page table leaf
entries.
The upcoming PMD swap entry support needs to construct PMD entries from
swap entries. Converting existing swp_entry_to_pmd() callers to
softleaf_to_pmd() in a prep patch keeps the feature patches focused on new
functionality rather than mixing refactoring with new code.

Let's clean it up a bit:
(1) There is no need to pass "full" anymore.
(2) No architecture overwrites it, and there isn't really a good reason
to do so when dealing with non-present PTEs.
(3) While at it, call it "non-present", similar to copy_nonpresent_pte()
and zap_nonpresent_ptes().
It's a shame that we have clear_non_present_ptes() correspond to
pte_clear() and clear_ptes() correspond to ptep_get_and_clear*().

In general, there is no good reason to do anything special when clearing
non-present PTEs.
In theory, HW that does have to invalidate TLBs for non-present PTEs could
benefit from a "full" parameter, but fortunately
pte_clear_not_present_full() is not wired up anymore ... and there would
have to be something very convincing for us to care about that to re-add
it.
So, let's just use pte_clear() directly now. To prevent the compiler
complaining on some configs about "set but not used" addr parameter,
silence that here.

Bootmem gigantic HugeTLB pages used to be validated again during
gather_bootmem_prealloc_node() and any cross-zone pages were discarded
there.
That validation is no longer needed. Cross-zone bootmem gigantic pages
are now detected during allocation and freed before they reach the later
bootmem gathering path, so the remaining pages are already zone-valid.
Remove the obsolete cross-zone validation, invalid-page freeing, and the
associated discarded-page accounting.

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.

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.

Add an unsigned long migrate_info member to the struct folio union and use
it to store migration state (anon_vma pointer and FOLIO_WAS_* markers)
instead of using folio->private. While at it, switch to bitwise OR.

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.
No functional change.

A comment in <linux/hugetlb_cgroup.h> incorrectly refers to
CONFIG_MEM_RES_CTLR_HUGETLB, which has never existed in the kernel,
instead of CONFIG_CGROUP_HUGETLB. Correct it.
Discovered while searching for CONFIG_* symbols referenced in code but not
defined in any Kconfig file.

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.
