2026-04-05mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pagesJiayuan Chen
Patch series "mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages", v3. In containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing incompressible pages to zswap is essential for effective resource management. This series adds a new per-memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages, along with a selftest. This patch (of 2): The global zswap_stored_incompressible_pages counter was added in commit dca4437a5861 ("mm/zswap: store <PAGE_SIZE compression failed page as-is") to track how many pages are stored in raw (uncompressed) form in zswap. However, in containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing incompressible pages is essential for effective resource management [1]. Add a new memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages per cgroup. This helps administrators and orchestrators to: 1. Identify workloads that produce incompressible data (e.g., encrypted data, already-compressed media, random data) and may not benefit from zswap. 2. Make informed decisions about workload placement - moving incompressible workloads to nodes with larger swap backing devices rather than relying on zswap. 3. Debug zswap efficiency issues at the cgroup level without needing to correlate global stats with individual cgroups. While the compression ratio can be estimated from existing stats (zswap / zswapped * PAGE_SIZE), this doesn't distinguish between "uniformly poor compression" and "a few completely incompressible pages mixed with highly compressible ones". The zswap_incomp stat provides direct visibility into the latter case.

2026-04-05memcg: consolidate private id refcount get/put helpersKairui Song
We currently have two different sets of helpers for getting or putting the private IDs' refcount for order 0 and large folios. This is redundant. Just use one and always acquire the refcount of the swapout folio size unless it's zero, and put the refcount using the folio size if the charge failed, since the folio size can't change. Then there is no need to update the refcount for tail pages. Same for freeing, then only one pair of get/put helper is needed now. The performance might be slightly better, too: both "inc unless zero" and "add unless zero" use the same cmpxchg implementation. For large folios, we saved an atomic operation. And for both order 0 and large folios, we saved a branch.

2026-04-05mm: memfd_luo: preserve file sealsPratyush Yadav (Google)
File seals are used on memfd for making shared memory communication with untrusted peers safer and simpler. Seals provide a guarantee that certain operations won't be allowed on the file such as writes or truncations. Maintaining these guarantees across a live update will help keeping such use cases secure. These guarantees will also be needed for IOMMUFD preservation with LUO. Normally when IOMMUFD maps a memfd, it pins all its pages to make sure any truncation operations on the memfd don't lead to IOMMUFD using freed memory. This doesn't work with LUO since the preserved memfd might have completely different pages after a live update, and mapping them back to the IOMMUFD will cause all sorts of problems. Using and preserving the seals allows IOMMUFD preservation logic to trust the memfd. Since the uABI defines seals as an int, preserve them by introducing a new u32 field. There are currently only 6 possible seals, so the extra bits are unused and provide room for future expansion. Since the seals are uABI, it is safe to use them directly in the ABI. While at it, also add a u32 flags field. It makes sure the struct is nicely aligned, and can be used later to support things like MFD_CLOEXEC. Since the serialization structure is changed, bump the version number to "memfd-v2". It is important to note that the memfd-v2 version only supports seals that existed when this version was defined. This set is defined by MEMFD_LUO_ALL_SEALS. Any new seal might bring a completely different semantic with it and the parser for memfd-v2 cannot be expected to deal with that. If there are any future seals added, they will need another version bump.

2026-04-05mm, swap: no need to clear the shadow explicitlyKairui Song
Since we no longer bypass the swap cache, every swap-in will clear the swap shadow by inserting the folio into the swap table. The only place we may seem to need to free the swap shadow is when the swap slots are freed directly without a folio (swap_put_entries_direct). But with the swap table, that is not needed either. Freeing a slot in the swap table will set the table entry to NULL, which erases the shadow just fine. So just delete all explicit shadow clearing, it's no longer needed. Also, rearrange the freeing.

2026-04-05mm, swap: simplify checking if a folio is swappedKairui Song
Clean up and simplify how we check if a folio is swapped. The helper already requires the folio to be in swap cache and locked. That's enough to pin the swap cluster from being freed, so there is no need to lock anything else to avoid UAF. And besides, we have cleaned up and defined the swap operation to be mostly folio based, and now the only place a folio will have any of its swap slots' count increased from 0 to 1 is folio_dup_swap, which also requires the folio lock. So as we are holding the folio lock here, a folio can't change its swap status from not swapped (all swap slots have a count of 0) to swapped (any slot has a swap count larger than 0). So there won't be any false negatives of this helper if we simply depend on the folio lock to stabilize the cluster. We are only using this helper to determine if we can and should release the swap cache. So false positives are completely harmless, and also already exist before. Depending on the timing, previously, it's also possible that a racing thread releases the swap count right after releasing the ci lock and before this helper returns. In any case, the worst that could happen is we leave a clean swap cache. It will still be reclaimed when under pressure just fine. So, in conclusion, we can simplify and make the check much simpler and lockless. Also, rename it to folio_maybe_swapped to reflect the design.

2026-04-05mm, swap: no need to truncate the scan borderKairui Song
swap_map had a static flexible size, so the last cluster won't be fully covered, hence the allocator needs to check the scan border to avoid OOB. But the swap table has a fixed-sized swap table for each cluster, and the slots beyond the device size are marked as bad slots. The allocator can simply scan all slots as usual, and any bad slots will be skipped.

2026-04-05mm, swap: use the swap table to track the swap countKairui Song
Now all the infrastructures are ready, switch to using the swap table only. This is unfortunately a large patch because the whole old counting mechanism, especially SWP_CONTINUED, has to be gone and switch to the new mechanism together, with no intermediate steps available. The swap table is capable of holding up to SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX - 1 counts in the higher bits of each table entry, so using that, the swap_map can be completely dropped. swap_map also had a limit of SWAP_CONT_MAX. Any value beyond that limit will require a COUNT_CONTINUED page. COUNT_CONTINUED is a bit complex to maintain, so for the swap table, a simpler approach is used: when the count goes beyond SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX - 1, the cluster will have an extend_table allocated, which is a swap cluster-sized array of unsigned int. The counting is basically offloaded there until the count drops below SWP_TB_COUNT_MAX again. Both the swap table and the extend table are cluster-based, so they exhibit good performance and sparsity. To make the switch from swap_map to swap table clean, this commit cleans up and introduces a new set of functions based on the swap table design, for manipulating swap counts: - __swap_cluster_dup_entry, __swap_cluster_put_entry, __swap_cluster_alloc_entry, __swap_cluster_free_entry: Increase/decrease the count of a swap slot, or alloc / free a swap slot. This is the internal routine that does the counting work based on the swap table and handles all the complexities. The caller will need to lock the cluster before calling them. All swap count-related update operations are wrapped by these four helpers. - swap_dup_entries_cluster, swap_put_entries_cluster: Increase/decrease the swap count of one or a set of swap slots in the same cluster range. These two helpers serve as the common routines for folio_dup_swap & swap_dup_entry_direct, or folio_put_swap & swap_put_entries_direct. And use these helpers to replace all existing callers. This helps to simplify the count tracking by a lot, and the swap_map is gone.

2026-04-05mm, swap: mark bad slots in swap table directlyKairui Song
In preparing the deprecating swap_map, mark bad slots in the swap table too when setting SWAP_MAP_BAD in swap_map. Also, refine the swap table sanity check on freeing to adapt to the bad slots change. For swapoff, the bad slots count must match the cluster usage count, as nothing should touch them, and they contribute to the cluster usage count on swapon. For ordinary swap table freeing, the swap table of clusters with bad slots should never be freed since the cluster usage count never reaches zero.

2026-04-05mm, swap: implement helpers for reserving data in the swap tableKairui Song
To prepare for using the swap table as the unified swap layer, introduce macros and helpers for storing multiple kinds of data in a swap table entry. From now on, we are storing PFN in the swap table to make space for extra counting bits (SWAP_COUNT). Shadows are still stored as they are, as the SWAP_COUNT is not used yet. Also, rename shadow_swp_to_tb to shadow_to_swp_tb. That's a spelling error, not really worth a separate fix. No behaviour change yet, just prepare the API.

2026-04-05mm/workingset: leave highest bits empty for anon shadowKairui Song
Swap table entry will need 4 bits reserved for swap count in the shadow, so the anon shadow should have its leading 4 bits remain 0. This should be OK for the foreseeable future. Take 52 bits of physical address space as an example: for 4K pages, there would be at most 40 bits for addressable pages. Currently, we have 36 bits available (64 - 1 - 16 - 10 - 1, where XA_VALUE takes 1 bit for marker, MEM_CGROUP_ID_SHIFT takes 16 bits, NODES_SHIFT takes <=10 bits, WORKINGSET flags takes 1 bit). So in the worst case, we previously need to pack the 40 bits of address in 36 bits fields using a 64K bucket (bucket_order = 4). After this, the bucket will be increased to 1M. Which should be fine, as on such large machines, the working set size will be way larger than the bucket size. And for MGLRU's gen number tracking, it should be even more than enough, MGLRU's gen number (max_seq) increment is much slower compared to the eviction counter (nonresident_age). And after all, either the refault distance or the gen distance is only a hint that can tolerate inaccuracy just fine. And the 4 bits can be shrunk to 3, or extended to a higher value if needed later.

2026-04-05mm, swap: clean up swapon process and lockingKairui Song
Slightly clean up the swapon process. Add comments about what swap_lock protects, introduce and rename helpers that wrap swap_map and cluster_info setup, and do it outside of the swap_lock lock. This lock protection is not needed for swap_map and cluster_info setup because all swap users must either hold the percpu ref or hold a stable allocated swap entry (e.g., locking a folio in the swap cache) before accessing. So before the swap device is exposed by enable_swap_info, nothing would use the swap device's map or cluster. So we are safe to allocate and set up swap data freely first, then expose the swap device and set the SWP_WRITEOK flag.

2026-04-05mm, swap: protect si->swap_file properly and use as a mount indicatorKairui Song
Patch series "mm, swap: swap table phase III: remove swap_map", v3. This series removes the static swap_map and uses the swap table for the swap count directly. This saves about ~30% memory usage for the static swap metadata. For example, this saves 256MB of memory when mounting a 1TB swap device. Performance is slightly better too, since the double update of the swap table and swap_map is now gone. Test results: Mounting a swap device: ======================= Mount a 1TB brd device as SWAP, just to verify the memory save: `free -m` before: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1465 1051 417 1 61 413 Swap: 1054435 0 1054435 `free -m` after: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1465 795 672 1 62 670 Swap: 1054435 0 1054435 Idle memory usage is reduced by ~256MB just as expected. And following this design we should be able to save another ~512MB in a next phase. Build kernel test: ================== Test using ZSWAP with NVME SWAP, make -j48, defconfig, in a x86_64 VM with 5G RAM, under global pressure, avg of 32 test run: Before After: System time: 1038.97s 1013.75s (-2.4%) Test using ZRAM as SWAP, make -j12, tinyconfig, in a ARM64 VM with 1.5G RAM, under global pressure, avg of 32 test run: Before After: System time: 67.75s 66.65s (-1.6%) The result is slightly better. Redis / Valkey benchmark: ========================= Test using ZRAM as SWAP, in a ARM64 VM with 1.5G RAM, under global pressure, avg of 64 test run: Server: valkey-server --maxmemory 2560M Client: redis-benchmark -r 3000000 -n 3000000 -d 1024 -c 12 -P 32 -t get no persistence with BGSAVE Before: 472705.71 RPS 369451.68 RPS After: 481197.93 RPS (+1.8%) 374922.32 RPS (+1.5%) In conclusion, performance is better in all cases, and memory usage is much lower. The swap cgroup array will also be merged into the swap table in a later phase, saving the other ~60% part of the static swap metadata and making all the swap metadata dynamic. The improved API for swap operations also reduces the lock contention and makes more batching operations possible. This patch (of 12): /proc/swaps uses si->swap_map as the indicator to check if the swap device is mounted. swap_map will be removed soon, so change it to use si->swap_file instead because: - si->swap_file is exactly the only dynamic content that /proc/swaps is interested in. Previously, it was checking si->swap_map just to ensure si->swap_file is available. si->swap_map is set under mutex protection, and after si->swap_file is set, so having si->swap_map set guarantees si->swap_file is set. - Checking si->flags doesn't work here. SWP_WRITEOK is cleared during swapoff, but /proc/swaps is supposed to show the device under swapoff too to report the swapoff progress. And SWP_USED is set even if the device hasn't been properly set up. We can have another flag, but the easier way is to just check si->swap_file directly. So protect si->swap_file setting with mutext, and set si->swap_file only when the swap device is truly enabled. /proc/swaps only interested in si->swap_file and a few static data reading. Only si->swap_file needs protection. Reading other static fields is always fine.

2026-04-05mm: move pgscan, pgsteal, pgrefill to node statsJP Kobryn (Meta)
There are situations where reclaim kicks in on a system with free memory. One possible cause is a NUMA imbalance scenario where one or more nodes are under pressure. It would help if we could easily identify such nodes. Move the pgscan, pgsteal, and pgrefill counters from vm_event_item to node_stat_item to provide per-node reclaim visibility. With these counters as node stats, the values are now displayed in the per-node section of /proc/zoneinfo, which allows for quick identification of the affected nodes. /proc/vmstat continues to report the same counters, aggregated across all nodes. But the ordering of these items within the readout changes as they move from the vm events section to the node stats section. Memcg accounting of these counters is preserved. The relocated counters remain visible in memory.stat alongside the existing aggregate pgscan and pgsteal counters. However, this change affects how the global counters are accumulated. Previously, the global event count update was gated on !cgroup_reclaim(), excluding memcg-based reclaim from /proc/vmstat. Now that mod_lruvec_state() is being used to update the counters, the global counters will include all reclaim. This is consistent with how pgdemote counters are already tracked. Finally, the virtio_balloon driver is updated to use global_node_page_state() to fetch the counters, as they are no longer accessible through the vm_events array.

2026-04-05mm/fadvise: validate offset in generic_fadviseKevin Lourenco
When converted to (u64) for page calculations, a negative offset can produce extremely large page indices. This may lead to issues in certain advice modes (excessive readahead or cache invalidation). Reject negative offsets with -EINVAL for consistent argument validation and to avoid silent misbehavior. POSIX and the man page do not clearly define behavior for negative offset/len. FreeBSD rejects negative offsets as well, so failing with -EINVAL is consistent with existing practice. The man page can be updated separately to document the Linux behavior.

There are two functions that release pages to the buddy allocator late in the boot: free_reserved_area() and memblock_free_late(). Currently they are using different underlying functionality, free_reserved_area() runs each page being freed via free_reserved_page() and memblock_free_late() uses memblock_free_pages() -> __free_pages_core(), but in the end they both boil down to a loop that frees a range page by page. Extract the loop frees pages from free_reserved_area() into a helper and use that helper in memblock_free_late().

2026-04-01memblock: make free_reserved_area() more robustMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
There are two potential problems in free_reserved_area(): * it may free a page with not-existent buddy page * it may be passed a virtual address from an alias mapping that won't be properly translated by virt_to_page(), for example a symbol on arm64 While first issue is quite theoretical and the second one does not manifest itself because all the callers do the right thing, it is easy to make free_reserved_area() robust enough to avoid these potential issues. Replace the loop by virtual address with a loop by pfn that uses for_each_valid_pfn() and use __pa() or __pa_symbol() depending on the virtual mapping alias to correctly determine the loop boundaries.

2026-04-01memblock: Add reserve_mem debugfs infoGuilherme G. Piccoli
When using the "reserve_mem" parameter, users aim at having an area that (hopefully) persists across boots, so pstore infrastructure (like ramoops module) can make use of that to save oops/ftrace logs, for example. There is no easy way to determine if this kernel parameter is properly set though; the kernel doesn't show information about this memory in memblock debugfs, neither in /proc/iomem nor dmesg. This is a relevant information for tools like kdumpst[0], to determine if it's reliable to use the reserved area as ramoops persistent storage; checking only /proc/cmdline is not sufficient as it doesn't tell if the reservation effectively succeeded or not. Add here a new file under memblock debugfs showing properly set memory reservations, with name and size as passed to "reserve_mem". Notice that if no "reserve_mem=" is passed on command-line or if the reservation attempts fail, the file is not created.

2026-03-27mm/mseal: update VMA end correctly on mergeLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Previously we stored the end of the current VMA in curr_end, and then upon iterating to the next VMA updated curr_start to curr_end to advance to the next VMA. However, this doesn't take into account the fact that a VMA might be updated due to a merge by vma_modify_flags(), which can result in curr_end being stale and thus, upon setting curr_start to curr_end, ending up with an incorrect curr_start on the next iteration. Resolve the issue by setting curr_end to vma->vm_end unconditionally to ensure this value remains updated should this occur. While we're here, eliminate this entire class of bug by simply setting const curr_[start/end] to be clamped to the input range and VMAs, which also happens to simplify the logic.

2026-03-27mm/memory: fix PMD/PUD checks in follow_pfnmap_start()David Hildenbrand (Arm)
follow_pfnmap_start() suffers from two problems: (1) We are not re-fetching the pmd/pud after taking the PTL Therefore, we are not properly stabilizing what the lock actually protects. If there is concurrent zapping, we would indicate to the caller that we found an entry, however, that entry might already have been invalidated, or contain a different PFN after taking the lock. Properly use pmdp_get() / pudp_get() after taking the lock. (2) pmd_leaf() / pud_leaf() are not well defined on non-present entries pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() could wrongly trigger on non-present entries. There is no real guarantee that pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() returns something reasonable on non-present entries. Most architectures indeed either perform a present check or make it work by smart use of flags. However, for example loongarch checks the _PAGE_HUGE flag in pmd_leaf(), and always sets the _PAGE_HUGE flag in __swp_entry_to_pmd(). Whereby pmd_trans_huge() explicitly checks pmd_present(), pmd_leaf() does not do that. Let's check pmd_present()/pud_present() before assuming "the is a present PMD leaf" when spotting pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf(), like other page table handling code that traverses user page tables does. Given that non-present PMD entries are likely rare in VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP, (1) is likely more relevant than (2). It is questionable how often (1) would actually trigger, but let's CC stable to be sure. This was found by code inspection.

2026-03-27mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr in repeat_call_fnJosh Law
damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() calls damon_sysfs_upd_tuned_intervals(), damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_stats(), and damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_effective_quotas() without checking contexts->nr. If nr_contexts is set to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, these functions dereference contexts_arr[0] and cause a NULL pointer dereference. Add the missing check. For example, the issue can be reproduced using DAMON sysfs interface and DAMON user-space tool (damo) [1] like below. $ sudo damo start --refresh_interval 1s $ echo 0 | sudo tee \ /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260320163559.178101-3-objecting@objecting.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260321175427.86000-4-sj@kernel.org Link: https://github.com/damonitor/damo [1] Fixes: d809a7c64ba8 ("mm/damon/sysfs: implement refresh_ms file internal work") Signed-off-by: Josh Law <objecting@objecting.org> Reviewed-by: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [6.17+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2026-03-27mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr before accessing contexts_arr[0]Josh Law
Multiple sysfs command paths dereference contexts_arr[0] without first verifying that kdamond->contexts->nr == 1. A user can set nr_contexts to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, causing NULL pointer dereferences. In more detail, the issue can be triggered by privileged users like below. First, start DAMON and make contexts directory empty (kdamond->contexts->nr == 0). # damo start # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0 # echo 0 > contexts/nr_contexts Then, each of below commands will cause the NULL pointer dereference. # echo update_schemes_stats > state # echo update_schemes_tried_regions > state # echo update_schemes_tried_bytes > state # echo update_schemes_effective_quotas > state # echo update_tuned_intervals > state Guard all commands (except OFF) at the entry point of damon_sysfs_handle_cmd().

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix memory leak and NULL dereference issues", v4. DAMON_SYSFS can leak memory under allocation failure, and do NULL pointer dereference when a privileged user make wrong sequences of control. Fix those. This patch (of 3): When damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() fails in damon_sysfs_commit_input(), param_ctx is leaked because the early return skips the cleanup at the out label.

2026-03-27mm/swap: fix swap cache memcg accountingAlexandre Ghiti
The swap readahead path was recently refactored and while doing this, the order between the charging of the folio in the memcg and the addition of the folio in the swap cache was inverted. Since the accounting of the folio is done while adding the folio to the swap cache and the folio is not charged in the memcg yet, the accounting is then done at the node level, which is wrong. Fix this by charging the folio in the memcg before adding it to the swap cache.

During futex_key_to_node_opt() execution, vma->vm_policy is read under speculative mmap lock and RCU. Concurrently, mbind() may call vma_replace_policy() which frees the old mempolicy immediately via kmem_cache_free(). This creates a race where __futex_key_to_node() dereferences a freed mempolicy pointer, causing a use-after-free read of mpol->mode.

2026-03-25slab,rcu: disable KVFREE_RCU_BATCHED for strict grace periodJann Horn
Disable CONFIG_KVFREE_RCU_BATCHED in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD builds so that kernel fuzzers have an easier time finding use-after-free involving kfree_rcu(). The intent behind CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD is that RCU should invoke callbacks and free objects as soon as possible (at a large performance cost) so that kernel fuzzers and such have an easier time detecting use-after-free bugs in objects with RCU lifetime. CONFIG_KVFREE_RCU_BATCHED is a performance optimization that queues RCU-freed objects in ways that CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD can't expedite; for example, the following testcase doesn't trigger a KASAN splat when CONFIG_KVFREE_RCU_BATCHED is enabled: ``` struct foo_struct { struct rcu_head rcu; int a; }; struct foo_struct *foo = kmalloc(sizeof(*foo), GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL | __GFP_ZERO); pr_info("%s: calling kfree_rcu()\n", __func__); kfree_rcu(foo, rcu); msleep(10); pr_info("%s: start UAF access\n", __func__); READ_ONCE(foo->a); pr_info("%s: end UAF access\n", __func__); ``` Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Harry Yoo (Oracle) <harry@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260324-kasan-kfree-rcu-v1-1-ac58a7a13d03@google.com Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE) <vbabka@kernel.org>
