2026-02-24mm: thp: deny THP for files on anonymous inodesDeepanshu Kartikey
file_thp_enabled() incorrectly allows THP for files on anonymous inodes (e.g. guest_memfd and secretmem). These files are created via alloc_file_pseudo(), which does not call get_write_access() and leaves inode->i_writecount at 0. Combined with S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) being true, they appear as read-only regular files when CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is enabled, making them eligible for THP collapse. Anonymous inodes can never pass the inode_is_open_for_write() check since their i_writecount is never incremented through the normal VFS open path. The right thing to do is to exclude them from THP eligibility altogether, since CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was designed for real filesystem files (e.g. shared libraries), not for pseudo-filesystem inodes. For guest_memfd, this allows khugepaged and MADV_COLLAPSE to create large folios in the page cache via the collapse path, but the guest_memfd fault handler does not support large folios. This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_large(folio)) in kvm_gmem_fault_user_mapping(). For secretmem, collapse_file() tries to copy page contents through the direct map, but secretmem pages are removed from the direct map. This can result in a kernel crash: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff88810284d000 RIP: 0010:memcpy_orig+0x16/0x130 Call Trace: collapse_file hpage_collapse_scan_file madvise_collapse Secretmem is not affected by the crash on upstream as the memory failure recovery handles the failed copy gracefully, but it still triggers confusing false memory failure reports: Memory failure: 0x106d96f: recovery action for clean unevictable LRU page: Recovered Check IS_ANON_FILE(inode) in file_thp_enabled() to deny THP for all anonymous inode files.

2026-02-24mm/kfence: disable KFENCE upon KASAN HW tags enablementAlexander Potapenko
KFENCE does not currently support KASAN hardware tags. As a result, the two features are incompatible when enabled simultaneously. Given that MTE provides deterministic protection and KFENCE is a sampling-based debugging tool, prioritize the stronger hardware protections. Disable KFENCE initialization and free the pre-allocated pool if KASAN hardware tags are detected to ensure the system maintains the security guarantees provided by MTE.

2026-02-23shmem: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs with lazy allocationChristian Brauner
Adapt tmpfs/shmem to use the rhashtable-based xattr path and switch from an embedded struct to pointer-based lazy allocation. Change shmem_inode_info.xattrs from embedded 'struct simple_xattrs' to a pointer 'struct simple_xattrs *', initialized to NULL. This avoids the rhashtable overhead for every tmpfs inode, which helps when a lot of inodes exist. The xattr store is allocated on first use: - shmem_initxattrs(): Allocates via simple_xattrs_alloc() when security modules set initial xattrs during inode creation. - shmem_xattr_handler_set(): Allocates on first setxattr, with a short-circuit for removal when no xattrs are stored yet. All read paths (shmem_xattr_handler_get, shmem_listxattr) check for NULL xattrs pointer and return -ENODATA or 0 respectively. Replaced xattr entries are freed via simple_xattr_free_rcu() to allow concurrent RCU readers to finish. shmem_evict_inode() conditionally frees the xattr store only when allocated. Also change simple_xattr_add() from void to int to propagate rhashtable insertion failures. shmem_initxattrs() is the only caller.

2026-02-23xattr: add rhashtable-based simple_xattr infrastructureChristian Brauner
Add rhashtable support to the simple_xattr subsystem while keeping the existing rbtree code fully functional. This allows consumers to be migrated one at a time without breaking any intermediate build. struct simple_xattrs gains a dispatch flag and a union holding either the rbtree (rb_root + rwlock) or rhashtable state: struct simple_xattrs { bool use_rhashtable; union { struct { struct rb_root rb_root; rwlock_t lock; }; struct rhashtable ht; }; }; simple_xattrs_init() continues to set up the rbtree path for existing embedded-struct callers. Add simple_xattrs_alloc() which dynamically allocates a simple_xattrs and initializes the rhashtable path. This is the entry point for consumers switching to pointer-based lazy allocation. The five core functions (get, set, list, add, free) dispatch based on the use_rhashtable flag. Existing callers continue to use the rbtree path unchanged. As each consumer is converted it will switch to simple_xattrs_alloc() and the rhashtable path. Once all consumers are converted a follow-up patch will remove the rbtree code.

2026-02-21Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL argumentsLinus Torvalds
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

2026-02-14mm: numa_memblks: Identify the accurate NUMA ID of CFMWCui Chao
In some physical memory layout designs, the address space of CFMW (CXL Fixed Memory Window) resides between multiple segments of system memory belonging to the same NUMA node. In numa_cleanup_meminfo, these multiple segments of system memory are merged into a larger numa_memblk. When identifying which NUMA node the CFMW belongs to, it may be incorrectly assigned to the NUMA node of the merged system memory. When a CXL RAM region is created in userspace, the memory capacity of the newly created region is not added to the CFMW-dedicated NUMA node. Instead, it is accumulated into an existing NUMA node (e.g., NUMA0 containing RAM). This makes it impossible to clearly distinguish between the two types of memory, which may affect memory-tiering applications. Example memory layout: Physical address space: 0x00000000 - 0x1FFFFFFF System RAM (node0) 0x20000000 - 0x2FFFFFFF CXL CFMW (node2) 0x40000000 - 0x5FFFFFFF System RAM (node0) 0x60000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF System RAM (node1) After numa_cleanup_meminfo, the two node0 segments are merged into one: 0x00000000 - 0x5FFFFFFF System RAM (node0) // CFMW is inside the range 0x60000000 - 0x7FFFFFFF System RAM (node1) So the CFMW (0x20000000-0x2FFFFFFF) will be incorrectly assigned to node0. To address this scenario, accurately identifying the correct NUMA node can be achieved by checking whether the region belongs to both numa_meminfo and numa_reserved_meminfo. While this issue is only observed in a QEMU configuration, and no known end users are impacted by this problem, it is likely that some firmware implementation is leaving memory map holes in a CXL Fixed Memory Window. CXL hotplug depends on mapping free window capacity, and it seems to be only a coincidence to have not hit this problem yet.

This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features. The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages running on the same host - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests x86: - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model). KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less overhead. For more information, see the commit message for merge commit bf2c3138ae36 ("Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.20' ...") - Disallow changing the virtual CPU model if L2 is active, for all the same reasons KVM disallows change the model after the first KVM_RUN - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly reject host accesses to PV MSRs when running with KVM_CAP_ENFORCE_PV_FEATURE_CPUID enabled, even if those were advertised as supported to userspace, - Fix a bug with protected guest state (SEV-ES/SNP and TDX) VMs, where KVM would attempt to read CR3 configuring an async #PF entry - Fail the build if EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL or EXPORT_SYMBOL is used in KVM (for x86 only) to enforce usage of EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM_INTERNAL. Only a few exports that are intended for external usage, and those are allowed explicitly - When checking nested events after a vCPU is unblocked, ignore -EBUSY instead of WARNing. Userspace can sometimes put the vCPU into what should be an impossible state, and spurious exit to userspace on -EBUSY does not really do anything to solve the issue - Also throw in the towel and drop the WARN on INIT/SIPI being blocked when vCPU is in Wait-For-SIPI, which also resulted in playing whack-a-mole with syzkaller stuffing architecturally impossible states into KVM - Add support for new Intel instructions that don't require anything beyond enumerating feature flags to userspace - Grab SRCU when reading PDPTRs in KVM_GET_SREGS2 - Add WARNs to guard against modifying KVM's CPU caps outside of the intended setup flow, as nested VMX in particular is sensitive to unexpected changes in KVM's golden configuration - Add a quirk to allow userspace to opt-in to actually suppress EOI broadcasts when the suppression feature is enabled by the guest (currently limited to split IRQCHIP, i.e. userspace I/O APIC). Sadly, simply fixing KVM to honor Suppress EOI Broadcasts isn't an option as some userspaces have come to rely on KVM's buggy behavior (KVM advertises Supress EOI Broadcast irrespective of whether or not userspace I/O APIC supports Directed EOIs) - Clean up KVM's handling of marking mapped vCPU pages dirty - Drop a pile of *ancient* sanity checks hidden behind in KVM's unused ASSERT() macro, most of which could be trivially triggered by the guest and/or user, and all of which were useless - Fold "struct dest_map" into its sole user, "struct rtc_status", to make it more obvious what the weird parameter is used for, and to allow fropping these RTC shenanigans if CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=n - Bury all of ioapic.h, i8254.h and related ioctls (including KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP) behind CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC=y - Add a regression test for recent APICv update fixes - Handle "hardware APIC ISR", a.k.a. SVI, updates in kvm_apic_update_apicv() to consolidate the updates, and to co-locate SVI updates with the updates for KVM's own cache of ISR information - Drop a dead function declaration - Minor cleanups x86 (Intel): - Rework KVM's handling of VMCS updates while L2 is active to temporarily switch to vmcs01 instead of deferring the update until the next nested VM-Exit. The deferred updates approach directly contributed to several bugs, was proving to be a maintenance burden due to the difficulty in auditing the correctness of deferred updates, and was polluting "struct nested_vmx" with a growing pile of booleans - Fix an SGX bug where KVM would incorrectly try to handle EPCM page faults, and instead always reflect them into the guest. Since KVM doesn't shadow EPCM entries, EPCM violations cannot be due to KVM interference and can't be resolved by KVM - Fix a bug where KVM would register its posted interrupt wakeup handler even if loading kvm-intel.ko ultimately failed - Disallow access to vmcb12 fields that aren't fully supported, mostly to avoid weirdness and complexity for FRED and other features, where KVM wants enable VMCS shadowing for fields that conditionally exist - Print out the "bad" offsets and values if kvm-intel.ko refuses to load (or refuses to online a CPU) due to a VMCS config mismatch x86 (AMD): - Drop a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() failure - Add support for virtualizing ERAPS.

2026-02-12mm/page_alloc: clear page->private in free_pages_prepare()Mikhail Gavrilov
Several subsystems (slub, shmem, ttm, etc.) use page->private but don't clear it before freeing pages. When these pages are later allocated as high-order pages and split via split_page(), tail pages retain stale page->private values. This causes a use-after-free in the swap subsystem. The swap code uses page->private to track swap count continuations, assuming freshly allocated pages have page->private == 0. When stale values are present, swap_count_continued() incorrectly assumes the continuation list is valid and iterates over uninitialized page->lru containing LIST_POISON values, causing a crash: KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000100-0xdead000000000107] RIP: 0010:__do_sys_swapoff+0x1151/0x1860 Fix this by clearing page->private in free_pages_prepare(), ensuring all freed pages have clean state regardless of previous use.

2026-02-12mm: rmap: support batched unmapping for file large foliosBaolin Wang
Similar to folio_referenced_one(), we can apply batched unmapping for file large folios to optimize the performance of file folios reclamation. Barry previously implemented batched unmapping for lazyfree anonymous large folios[1] and did not further optimize anonymous large folios or file-backed large folios at that stage. As for file-backed large folios, the batched unmapping support is relatively straightforward, as we only need to clear the consecutive (present) PTE entries for file-backed large folios. Note that it's not ready to support batched unmapping for uffd case, so let's still fallback to per-page unmapping for the uffd case. Performance testing: Allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and try to reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface. I can observe 75% performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and 50%+ improvement on my X86 machine) with this patch.

2026-02-12mm: rmap: support batched checks of the references for large foliosBaolin Wang
Patch series "support batch checking of references and unmapping for large folios", v6. Currently, folio_referenced_one() always checks the young flag for each PTE sequentially, which is inefficient for large folios. This inefficiency is especially noticeable when reclaiming clean file-backed large folios, where folio_referenced() is observed as a significant performance hotspot. Moreover, on Arm architecture, which supports contiguous PTEs, there is already an optimization to clear the young flags for PTEs within a contiguous range. However, this is not sufficient. We can extend this to perform batched operations for the entire large folio (which might exceed the contiguous range: CONT_PTE_SIZE). Similar to folio_referenced_one(), we can also apply batched unmapping for large file folios to optimize the performance of file folio reclamation. By supporting batched checking of the young flags, flushing TLB entries, and unmapping, I can observed a significant performance improvements in my performance tests for file folios reclamation. Please check the performance data in the commit message of each patch. This patch (of 5): Currently, folio_referenced_one() always checks the young flag for each PTE sequentially, which is inefficient for large folios. This inefficiency is especially noticeable when reclaiming clean file-backed large folios, where folio_referenced() is observed as a significant performance hotspot.

We can extend this to perform batched operations for the entire large folio (which might exceed the contiguous range: CONT_PTE_SIZE). Introduce a new API: clear_flush_young_ptes() to facilitate batched checking of the young flags and flushing TLB entries, thereby improving performance during large folio reclamation. And it will be overridden by the architecture that implements a more efficient batch operation in the following patches. While we are at it, rename ptep_clear_flush_young_notify() to clear_flush_young_ptes_notify() to indicate that this is a batch operation.

2026-02-12mm: make vm_area_desc utilise vma_flags_t onlyLorenzo Stoakes
Now we have eliminated all uses of vm_area_desc->vm_flags, eliminate this field, and have mmap_prepare users utilise the vma_flags_t vm_area_desc->vma_flags field only. As part of this change we alter is_shared_maywrite() to accept a vma_flags_t parameter, and introduce is_shared_maywrite_vm_flags() for use with legacy vm_flags_t flags. We also update struct mmap_state to add a union between vma_flags and vm_flags temporarily until the mmap logic is also converted to using vma_flags_t. Also update the VMA userland tests to reflect this change.

2026-02-12mm/vma: use unmap_desc in exit_mmap() and vms_clear_ptes()Liam R. Howlett
Convert vms_clear_ptes() to use unmap_desc to call unmap_vmas() instead of the large argument list. The UNMAP_STATE() cannot be used because the vma iterator in the vms does not point to the correct maple state (mas_detach), and the tree_end will be set incorrectly. Setting up the arguments manually avoids setting the struct up incorrectly and doing extra work to get the correct pagetable range. exit_mmap() also calls unmap_vmas() with many arguments. Using the unmap_all_init() function to set the unmap descriptor for all vmas makes this a bit easier to read. Update to the vma test code is necessary to ensure testing continues to function.

2026-02-12mm: change dup_mmap() recoveryLiam R. Howlett
When the dup_mmap() fails during the vma duplication or setup, don't write the XA_ZERO entry in the vma tree. Instead, destroy the tree and free the new resources, leaving an empty vma tree. Using XA_ZERO introduced races where the vma could be found between dup_mmap() dropping all locks and exit_mmap() taking the locks. The race can occur because the mm can be reached through the other trees via successfully copied vmas and other methods such as the swapoff code. XA_ZERO was marking the location to stop vma removal and pagetable freeing. The newly created arguments to the unmap_vmas() and free_pgtables() serve this function. Replacing the XA_ZERO entry use with the new argument list also means the checks for xa_is_zero() are no longer necessary so these are also removed. Note that dup_mmap() now cleans up when ALL vmas are successfully copied, but the dup_mmap() fails to completely set up some other aspect of the duplication.

2026-02-12mm: relocate the page table ceiling and floor definitionsLiam R. Howlett
Patch series " Remove XA_ZERO from error recovery of dup_mmap()", v3. It is possible that the dup_mmap() call fails on allocating or setting up a vma after the maple tree of the oldmm is copied. Today, that failure point is marked by inserting an XA_ZERO entry over the failure point so that the exact location does not need to be communicated through to exit_mmap(). However, a race exists in the tear down process because the dup_mmap() drops the mmap lock before exit_mmap() can remove the partially set up vma tree. This means that other tasks may get to the mm tree and find the invalid vma pointer (since it's an XA_ZERO entry), even though the mm is marked as MMF_OOM_SKIP and MMF_UNSTABLE. To remove the race fully, the tree must be cleaned up before dropping the lock. This is accomplished by extracting the vma cleanup in exit_mmap() and changing the required functions to pass through the vma search limit. Any other tree modifications would require extra cycles which should be spent on freeing memory. This does run the risk of increasing the possibility of finding no vmas (which is already possible!) in code that isn't careful. The final four patches are to address the excessive argument lists being passed between the functions. Using the struct unmap_desc also allows some special-case code to be removed in favour of the struct setup differences. This patch (of 11): pgtables.h defines a fallback for ceiling and floor of the page tables within the CONFIG_MMU section. Moving the definitions to outside the CONFIG_MMU allows for using them in generic code.

2026-02-12mm: folio_zero_user: open code range computation in folio_zero_user()Ankur Arora
riscv64-gcc-linux-gnu (v8.5) reports a compile time assert in: r[2] = DEFINE_RANGE(clamp_t(s64, fault_idx - radius, pg.start, pg.end), clamp_t(s64, fault_idx + radius, pg.start, pg.end)); where it decides that pg.start > pg.end in: clamp_t(s64, fault_idx + radius, pg.start, pg.end)); where pg comes from: const struct range pg = DEFINE_RANGE(0, folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1); That does not seem like it could be true. Even for pg.start == pg.end, we would need folio_test_large() to evaluate to false at compile time: static inline unsigned long folio_nr_pages(const struct folio *folio) { if (!folio_test_large(folio)) return 1; return folio_large_nr_pages(folio); } Workaround by open coding the range computation.

2026-02-12mm/vmscan: select the closest preferred node in demote_folio_list()Bing Jiao
The preferred demotion node (migration_target_control.nid) should be the one closest to the source node to minimize migration latency. Currently, a discrepancy exists where demote_folio_list() randomly selects an allowed node if the preferred node from next_demotion_node() is not set in mems_effective. To address it, update next_demotion_node() to select a preferred target against allowed nodes; and to return the closest demotion target if all preferred nodes are not in mems_effective via next_demotion_node(). It ensures that the preferred demotion target is consistently the closest available node to the source node.

2026-02-12mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotionBing Jiao
Patch series "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion", v9. This patch series addresses two issues in demote_folio_list(), can_demote(), and next_demotion_node() in reclaim/demotion. 1. demote_folio_list() and can_demote() do not correctly check demotion target against cpuset.mems_effective, which will cause (a) pages to be demoted to not-allowed nodes and (b) pages fail demotion even if the system still has allowed demotion nodes. Patch 1 fixes this bug by updating cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. 2. next_demotion_node() returns a preferred demotion target, but it does not check the node against allowed nodes. Patch 2 ensures that next_demotion_node() filters against the allowed node mask and selects the closest demotion target to the source node. This patch (of 2): Fix two bugs in demote_folio_list() and can_demote() due to incorrect demotion target checks against cpuset.mems_effective in reclaim/demotion. Commit 7d709f49babc ("vmscan,cgroup: apply mems_effective to reclaim") introduces the cpuset.mems_effective check and applies it to can_demote(). However: 1. It does not apply this check in demote_folio_list(), which leads to situations where pages are demoted to nodes that are explicitly excluded from the task's cpuset.mems. 2. It checks only the nodes in the immediate next demotion hierarchy and does not check all allowed demotion targets in can_demote(). This can cause pages to never be demoted if the nodes in the next demotion hierarchy are not set in mems_effective. These bugs break resource isolation provided by cpuset.mems. This is visible from userspace because pages can either fail to be demoted entirely or are demoted to nodes that are not allowed in multi-tier memory systems. To address these bugs, update cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. Also update can_demote() and demote_folio_list() accordingly. Bug 1 reproduction: Assume a system with 4 nodes, where nodes 0-1 are top-tier and nodes 2-3 are far-tier memory.

2026-02-12mm/hugetlb: restore failed global reservations to subpoolJoshua Hahn
Commit a833a693a490 ("mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool") fixed an underflow error for hstate->resv_huge_pages caused by incorrectly attributing globally requested pages to the subpool's reservation. Unfortunately, this fix also introduced the opposite problem, which would leave spool->used_hpages elevated if the globally requested pages could not be acquired. This is because while a subpool's reserve pages only accounts for what is requested and allocated from the subpool, its "used" counter keeps track of what is consumed in total, both from the subpool and globally. Thus, we need to adjust spool->used_hpages in the other direction, and make sure that globally requested pages are uncharged from the subpool's used counter. Each failed allocation attempt increments the used_hpages counter by how many pages were requested from the global pool. Ultimately, this renders the subpool unusable, as used_hpages approaches the max limit. The issue can be reproduced as follows: 1. Allocate 4 hugetlb pages 2. Create a hugetlb mount with max=4, min=2 3. Consume 2 pages globally 4. Request 3 pages from the subpool (2 from subpool + 1 from global) 4.1 hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, 3) succeeds. used_hpages += 3 4.2 hugetlb_acct_memory(h, 1) fails: no global pages left used_hpages -= 2 5. Subpool now has used_hpages = 1, despite not being able to successfully allocate any hugepages. It believes it can now only allocate 3 more hugepages, not 4. With each failed allocation attempt incrementing the used counter, the subpool eventually reaches a point where its used counter equals its max counter. At that point, any future allocations that try to allocate hugeTLB pages from the subpool will fail, despite the subpool not having any of its hugeTLB pages consumed by any user. Once this happens, there is no way to make the subpool usable again, since there is no way to decrement the used counter as no process is really consuming the hugeTLB pages. The underflow issue that the original commit fixes still remains fixed as well. Without this fix, used_hpages would keep on leaking if hugetlb_acct_memory() fails.

2026-02-11mm: Fix a hmm_range_fault() livelock / starvation problemThomas Hellström
If hmm_range_fault() fails a folio_trylock() in do_swap_page, trying to acquire the lock of a device-private folio for migration, to ram, the function will spin until it succeeds grabbing the lock. However, if the process holding the lock is depending on a work item to be completed, which is scheduled on the same CPU as the spinning hmm_range_fault(), that work item might be starved and we end up in a livelock / starvation situation which is never resolved. This can happen, for example if the process holding the device-private folio lock is stuck in migrate_device_unmap()->lru_add_drain_all() sinc lru_add_drain_all() requires a short work-item to be run on all online cpus to complete. A prerequisite for this to happen is: a) Both zone device and system memory folios are considered in migrate_device_unmap(), so that there is a reason to call lru_add_drain_all() for a system memory folio while a folio lock is held on a zone device folio. b) The zone device folio has an initial mapcount > 1 which causes at least one migration PTE entry insertion to be deferred to try_to_migrate(), which can happen after the call to lru_add_drain_all(). c) No or voluntary only preemption. This all seems pretty unlikely to happen, but indeed is hit by the "xe_exec_system_allocator" igt test. Resolve this by waiting for the folio to be unlocked if the folio_trylock() fails in do_swap_page(). Rename migration_entry_wait_on_locked() to softleaf_entry_wait_unlock() and update its documentation to indicate the new use-case. Future code improvements might consider moving the lru_add_drain_all() call in migrate_device_unmap() to be called *after* all pages have migration entries inserted. That would eliminate also b) above. v2: - Instead of a cond_resched() in hmm_range_fault(), eliminate the problem by waiting for the folio to be unlocked in do_swap_page() (Alistair Popple, Andrew Morton) v3: - Add a stub migration_entry_wait_on_locked() for the !CONFIG_MIGRATION case.
