4e1fbffb33 selftests/mm: fix ternary operator precedence in ksm_tests
The KSM selftest uses conditional expressions to skip accesses to
merge_across_nodes on systems without NUMA support.  However, the ternary
operator is combined with logical OR without parentheses:

a || numa_available() ? 0 : b || c

Due to operator precedence rules, this is parsed as:

(a || numa_available()) ? 0 : (b || c)

instead of the intended:

a || (numa_available() ? 0 : b) || c

Add parentheses around the conditional expressions to ensure the
correct evaluation order.

15828a150c selftests/mm: fix ksm NUMA merge test for systems with memoryless NUMA nodes
The KSM NUMA merge test allocates identical pages on different NUMA nodes
and verifies KSM behavior with merge_across_nodes enabled and disabled.

On systems with memoryless NUMA nodes, for example:
 #numactl  -H
      available: 2 nodes (0,4)
      .....
      node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
      node 0 size: 14825 MB
      node 0 free: 1382 MB
      node 4 cpus:
      node 4 size: 0 MB
      node 4 free: 0 MB

the test may attempt to allocate memory on a node without memory, causing
numa_alloc_onnode() to fail and resulting in a spurious test failure.

The test currently checks numa_num_configured_nodes() to determine whether
sufficient NUMA nodes are available.  However, configured nodes do not
necessarily have memory.

Reuse the existing get_first_mem_node() and get_next_mem_node() helpers to
locate NUMA nodes that actually contain memory, and skip the test when
fewer than two such nodes are available.

5c4c48ff5a selftests/mm: handle EINVAL when configuring gigantic hugepages
Patch series "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM
tests", v3.

This series fixes issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories
that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied.

Patch 1 updates the hugetlb selftest helpers to handle -EINVAL when
attempting to configure gigantic HugeTLB pages via nr_hugepages.  PowerPC
hash MMU pSeries systems expose gigantic hugepage sizes but do not allow
runtime allocation of such pages, causing the sysfs write to fail.  Handle
this case gracefully and continue running the test instead of aborting.

Patch 2 fixes the KSM NUMA merge test on systems with memoryless NUMA
nodes.  The test currently relies on the number of configured NUMA nodes
and may attempt allocations on nodes that have no memory, resulting in
spurious failures.  Use the existing helpers to identify NUMA nodes that
contain memory and skip the test when fewer than two such nodes are
available.

Patch 3 fixes a pre-existing operator precedence issue in ksm_tests, where
a ternary expression combined with logical OR operators could be evaluated
differently than intended.  Added parentheses to ensure the correct
evaluation order.

These changes improve handling of unsupported test configurations and
unmet test prerequisites, avoiding spurious failures.


This patch (of 3):

Some MM selftests attempt to configure the amount of HugeTLB pages of
different sizes by writing to nr_hugepages.

PowerPC hash MMU pSeries systems advertise gigantic hugepage sizes but do
not support runtime allocation of such pages, writes to the corresponding
nr_hugepages file fail with -EINVAL.  This causes the test to bail out
even though the failure is due to a platform limitation rather than the
functionality being tested.

Ignore -EINVAL when configuring nr_hugepages so that tests continue to run
on systems where gigantic hugepage allocation is unsupported.

0471cade0a ksm: use precise linear_page_index instead of the whole address space
Since we now have linear_page_index available that we can use here,
allowing for optimizing the RMAP walk, we can also use it to locate more
precisely all related-processes when error hits the KSM page, which will
decrease a lot of invalid iterations.

887311e5cd mm/ksm: initialize the addr only once in collect_procs_ksm
Patch series "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()", v2.

In collect_procs_ksm() which is used to collect processes when the error
hit an ksm page, there is the same issue with rmap_walk_ksm (see the
previous discussion at [1]).  So we apply the similar logic changes to the
collect_procs_ksm().

The patch [1/2] move the initializaion of addr from the position inside
loop to the position before the loop, since the variable will not change
in the loop.

The patch [2/2] optimize collect_procs_ksm by passing a suitable page
offset range to the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach loop to reduce
ineffective checks.


This patch (of 2):

Similar to 318d87b8fa ("ksm: initialize the addr only once in
rmap_walk_ksm"), only initialize the addr once in rmap_walk_ksm because
the addr variable doesn't change across iterations.

1695841621 ksm: add mremap selftests for ksm_rmap_walk
The existing tools/testing/selftests/mm/rmap.c has already one testcase
for ksm_rmap_walk in TEST_F(migrate, ksm), which takes use of migration of
page from one NUMA node to another NUMA node.  However, it just lacks the
scenario of mremapped VMAs.

We add the calling of mremap() and then trigger KSM to merge pages before
migrating, which is specifically to test an optimization which is
introduced by this patch ("ksm: Optimize rmap_walk_ksm by passing a
suitable address pgoff").

This test can reproduce the issue that Hugh points out at

96d2d9acef ksm: optimize rmap_walk_ksm by passing a suitable page index
User impact / Why this matters to Linux users
=============================================
When a system runs with KSM enabled and memory becomes tight, KSM pages
may be swapped out or migrated. The kernel then performs a reverse map
walk by rmap_walk_ksm to locate all page table entries that reference
these pages. If A large number of unrelated VMAs can attach to a single
anon_vma related with this KSM page, then rmap_walk might be severe
performance bottleneck.  In our embedded test environment, we observed
~20,000 VMAs sharing one anon_vma without any fork  purely from VMA
splits
 which cause 200~700ms duration of rmap_walk_ksm.

When one of those VMAs mapped a KSM page, then this KSM page's rmapping
will become bottleneck with hold its anon_vma lock for a long time. The
anon_vma lock is not only used by KSM; it is a core lock protecting the
VMA interval tree and is acquired by many critical memory operations:

  ' Page faults: do_anonymous_page(), do_wp_page() (during COW)
  ' Memory reclaim: try_to_unmap()
  ' Page migration & compaction: migrate_pages(), compact_zone()
  ' mlock / munlock: mlock_fixup()
  ' Process exit: exit_mmap() (tearing down VMAs)
  ' Cgroup memory accounting: mem_cgroup_move_charge()

If one thread holds the anon_vma lock for hundreds of milliseconds
because of an inefficient KSM rmap walk, any other thread that
tries to acquire the same lock (e.g., an application taking a page
fault, kswapd reclaiming pages, or a migration thread) will block.
This leads to stalled application threads, increased latency
spikes, and in extreme cases container timeouts or watchdog
triggers.

This patch reduces the worst-case anon_vma lock hold time during
ksm_rmap_walk from >500 ms to <1 ms, thereby almost eliminating
this source of lock contention and improving system responsiveness
under memory pressure.

Real-world examples:
====================
 - JVM / Go runtime: These use mmap for heap regions and later call
mprotect(PROT_NONE) for garbage collection barriers or guard pages,
splitting the original VMA into thousands of small pieces over time.

 - Database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL): Large shared memory buffers
or anonymous mappings are managed with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) to
release specific pages, which also splits VMAs.

Root Cause
==========
Through local debugging trace analysis, we found that most of the
latency of rmap_walk_ksm occurs within anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach,
leading to an excessively long hold time on the anon_vma lock (even
reaching 500ms or more), which in turn causes upper-layer applications
(waiting for the anon_vma lock) to be blocked for extended periods.

Further investigation revealed that 99.9% of iterations inside the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach loop are skipped due to the first check
"if (addr < vma->vm_start || addr >= vma->vm_end)), indicating that a
large number of loop iterations are ineffective. This inefficiency
arises because the start page index and the end page index parameters
passed to anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach span the entire address space
from 0 to ULONG_MAX, resulting in very poor loop efficiency.

Solution
========
We cannot rely solely on anon_vma to locate all PTEs mapping this page
but also need to have the original page's linear_page_index. Since the
implementation of anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach  it essentially
iterates to find a suitable VMA such that the provided page index
falls within the candidate's vm_pgoff range.

vm_pgoff <= original linear page offset <= (vm_pgoff + vma_pages(v) - 1)

Fortunately, an earlier commit introduced the linear_page_index to struct
ksm_rmap_item, allowing for optimizing the RMAP walk.

Test results
============
A rmap testbench can be obtained with two Out-Of-Tree patches at [1][2].
After applying the OOT patches and building rmap_benchmark from:
tools/testing/rmap/rmap_benchmark.c, we can start the performance test.

The testing result in QEMU is shown as follows:

KSM rmapping    Maximum duration                Average duration

Before:         705.12 ms (705119858 ns)        532.04 ms (532041586 ns)
After:          1.67 ms (1665917 ns)            1.44 ms (1443784 ns)

The benchmark numbers are realistic, since we observed ~20,000 VMAs
sharing one anon_vma on a production system running a Java application
with KSM enabled. The lock hold time before the patch was measured at
228ms (max) during rmap walks triggered by memory compaction and page
migration. The benchmark reproduces that VMA count and lockhold
behavior in a controlled environment.

a5650de041 ksm: add linear_page_index into ksm_rmap_item
Patch series "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm", v11.

This series fixes a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance problem that
can freeze applications for hundreds of milliseconds under memory pressure
especially when a lot of unrelated VMAs sharing a single anon_vma.

Two key highlights:

1. Lock hold time drops from >500ms to <2ms
   - In our benchmark (20,000 VMAs sharing an anon_vma), worst-case
     anon_vma lock hold time during KSM rmap walk went from 705ms
     down to 1.67ms (max) and 1.44ms (avg).

2. Real user impact
   - The anon_vma lock is also acquired by page faults, reclaim,
     migration, compaction, mlock, exit_mmap, and cgroup accounting.

   - A long hold due to inefficient rmap walks stalls application
     threads, causing latency spikes, reduced throughput, or even
     container timeouts.

   - The problem occurs even without fork() – VMA splitting (e.g.,
     via mprotect or madvise over time) can create tens of thousands
     of VMAs all attached to the same anon_vma.

Real-world examples:

 - JVM / Go runtime: These use mmap for heap regions and later call
   mprotect(PROT_NONE) for garbage collection barriers or guard pages,
   splitting the original VMA into thousands of small pieces over time.

 - Database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL): Large shared memory buffers or
   anonymous mappings are managed with madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) to release
   specific pages, which also splits VMAs.

Why the benchmark numbers are realistic: We observed ~20,000 VMAs sharing
one anon_vma on a production system running a Java application with KSM
enabled.  The lock hold time before the patch was measured at 228 ms
(max) during rmap walks triggered by memory compaction and page migration.
The benchmark reproduces that VMA count and lock‑hold behavior in a
controlled environment.

For systems that do not have thousands of VMAs per anon_vma, the patch
adds negligible overhead (a single pgoff comparison).  For systems that do
suffer from this issue, the improvement is dramatic: 1) Worst‑case
anon_vma lock hold time drops from hundreds of milliseconds to under
2 ms.2)This directly reduces blocking of parallel operations that need
the same lock – page faults, reclaim, migration, compaction, mlock, and
exit_mmap.

End‑users will see lower tail latency (fewer application stalls), higher
throughput under memory pressure, and no more spurious lockup warnings or
container timeouts caused by excessive lock hold times.

In short: workloads that do not hit this pathological pattern are
unaffected; those that do will see a 100x to 500x reduction in lock hold
times, which translates directly into a more responsive system.


This patch (of 3):

As preparation for KSM rmap optimizations, let's track the original
linear_page_index() of a de-duplicated page in its ksm_rmap_item, so we
can efficiently search for the page in an address space, avoiding scanning
the entire address space.  This was previously discussed in [1, 2].

To avoid growing ksm_rmap_item, let's squeeze it into the existing
structure by overlying some members (oldchecksum, age, remaining_skips)
that are only relevant while on the unstable tree.  The new entry will
only be relevant for entries in the stable tree.

However, as the age information is read by should_skip_rmap_item() with
the smart-scanning approach even while we have an entry in the stable
tree, but the page changes (no longer a KSM page, for example due to COW),
we have to change the handling there a bit.

We'll calculate the linear page index in try_to_merge_with_ksm_page(),
when adding it to the stable tree, and reset the index (to reset overlayed
data) when removing an item from the stable tree -- in
remove_rmap_item_from_tree(), remove_node_from_stable_tree() and
break_cow().

To be specially clarified, the reason for resetting the stored index at
break_cow() is:

- When a page successfully becomes a KSM page (i.e., after
  stable_tree_append() sets STABLE_FLAG), both anon_vma and the index are
  stored and remain valid.

- However, during the merging process, there are several failure paths
  where we already prepared an rmap item to be added to the stable tree,
  but must revert that as some part of the merge process failed. Examples
  include:
    1 The second call to try_to_merge_with_ksm_page() fails in
      try_to_merge_two_pages().
    2 stable_tree_insert() fails in cmp_and_merge_page().
  In such cases, break_cow() is invoked to break the COW mapping and
  discard the KSM state.

Currently, break_cow() already contains a
put_anon_vma(rmap_item->anon_vma) to release the reference taken during
the aborted merge.  Because the index is logically paired with anon_vma
(both are only meaningful when the rmap_item is in a stable state), it
must also be cleared (or reset) in break_cow() to avoid leaving stale
linear_page_index values that could confuse subsequent rmap walks or
scanning logic.

d59bf2653c mm/damon/core: handle unreset probe_hits in probe_hits_mvsum()
If damon_update_monitoring_result() is called at the end of the
aggregation interval, probe_hits is not reset.  That's because the value
will be exposed to the user via damon_region_aggregated trace event.

Meanwhile, damon_probe_hits_mvsum() can be called in this state.  Due to
its logic, it will return a value that is incorrectly high.  This could
happen if the user requested DAMOS schemes applied regions sysfs files
update exactly in the time sequence.

The impact is minor, but better to avoid.  Check the timing and simply
return the fully aggregated last_probe_hits, like
damon_nr_accesses_mvsum() also does.  It is not 100% accurate since it is
the last interval's aggregation.  But better than the value that is
completely reset.

f3ab162a92 mm/damon/core: remove comment and test for nr_to_bp() divide-by-zero
Patch series "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits".

DAMON users can update DAMON parameters such as sampling and aggregation
intervals at runtime.  For such changes, monitoring results that depend on
the intervals should be properly updated for better accuracy.  For
example, the access frequency counter (nr_accesses) is updated.  The data
attribute monitoring counter (probe_hits) is not being updated, though. 
Do the updates for new parameters.

Patch 1 removes obsolete comments and test code for a function that this
series will touch.  Patches 2-5 rename functions that are being used for
nr_accesses update, to be able to be used for probe_hits without
confusion.  Patch 6 does the probe_hits update.  Patch 7 update
damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to cover a corner case from the update for better
accuracy.


This patch (of 7):

The comments on damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() and its unit test warn
it can trigger division-by-zero when the aggregation interval is zero. 
Commit 35d4a3cf70 ("mm/damon/ops-common: handle extreme intervals in
damon_hot_score()") modified damon_max_nr_accesses() to always return
non-zero.  Hence no division-by-zero of the note can happen.  Remove the
obsolete comment on the function.  The test code was written to test the
division-by-zero case, which cannot happen anymore.  Having it makes no
sense.  Entirely remove the test code and its comment.

7bfc04d6bd x86/mm: stop marking vmemmap as SECTION_INFO
We added the whole bootmem registration machinery in commit 0475327876
("memory hotplug: register section/node id to free").

The main use case was to remember to which memory section memmap pages
belonged, so the memmap could be handled accordingly when freeing memory.

However, all that machinery is not required anymore: a memory section can
only get offlined if *all* pages can get offlined; and it can only get
unplugged once offline.  If some of these pages are unmovable memmap
pages: bad luck, doesn't work.  Offlining will fail.

Further, a lot of this machinery was required for pre-vmemmap support. 
Now we only support the vmemmap with memory hotplug.

So the whole machinery is useless today.  Let's start by removing the last
pieces by first stopping to mark vmemmap pages as SECTION_INFO.  In
free_vmemmap_pages(), we can now always just free the reserved pages
directly.

that were not previously registered.

This will allow freeing unregistered vmemmap pages allocated during boot
through free_bootmem_page() from hugetlb code, until we fully rip all of
that out.

d79db3f396 mm: provide free_reserved_pages(), removing x86 variant
Let's extend free_reserved_page() in page_alloc.c to
free_reserved_pages(), dropping the custom x86 variant.  The common-code
variant will consume an order, so adjust the x86 callers accordingly.

Make free_reserved_pages() assume that we are freeing ordinary high-order
pages, just with the special "reserved" flavor.  The target use case for
now is freeing vmemmap PMD pages.

Set the refcount directly to 0 (instead of 1) and call
__free_frozen_pages().  Set the page count to 0 before clearing
PG_reserved, so someone checking PG_reserved (and not finding it set) to
then try grabbing a ref would not suddenly have that ref be dropped.  That
is arguably cleaner and safer than the old way of doing it.

Add some kerneldoc.  Use a single adjust_managed_page_count() call.

324853ce8d mm: nommu: fix the error path when vma_iter_prealloc() fails
When vma_iter_prealloc() fails in do_mmap(), it jumps to error_just_free
as a error path of this function, but there are several possible issues.

1) It jumps to error_just_free without updating ret to -ENOMEM, meaning
   do_mmap() will return 0 on failure.

2) The error path unconditionally frees the region struct.  Since the
   region was already added to the global nommu_region_tree via
   add_nommu_region(), leaving it makes a potential dangling pointer in
   the tree and may cause a use-after-free on the next tree walk.

3) If do_mmap() finds an existing overlapping shared region, it
   increments its usage, sets region to this existing pregion, and jumps
   to share:

	region = pregion;
	result = start;
	goto share;

   When vma_iter_prealloc() fails and jumps to error_just_free, the
   error path unconditionally frees the region:

error:
	...
	if (region->vm_file)
		fput(region->vm_file);
	kmem_cache_free(vm_region_jar, region);

   This potentially leaves a dangling pointer in nommu_region_tree and
   causes RB-tree corruption.

4) When establishing a new private mapping, do_mmap_private() allocates
   physical pages and assigns them to region->vm_start:

	base = alloc_pages_exact(total << PAGE_SHIFT, GFP_KERNEL);
	...
	region->vm_start = (unsigned long) base;

   If we later fail at vma_iter_prealloc() and jump to error_just_free,
   the region struct is freed, but the backing physical memory isn't freed
   via free_page_series().

5) In the error label of do_mmap(), the vm_area_struct allocated is
   freed by vm_area_free(vma) but not called after vma_close(), leaving
   potential memory leak which should be handled by a custom .close
   handler of vm_ops.

This commit fixes those issues by introducing new jump label,
error_vma_iter_prealloc, to correctly handle the error case of
vma_iter_prealloc(), updating ret value (1), and move the region updates
after the place that the allocation is finished (2).

Additionally, the commit removes the existing goto label, error, and
consolidates to error_just_free as existing `goto error;` code blocks
always release nommu_region_sem.

Moreover, it only frees region allocated in this request to avoid
freeing the shared, existing region shared by other processes (3), and
free physical memory when do_mmap_private() allocates (4). It also add
vma_close() before vm_area_free() to fix the potential leak (5).

Those issues are discovered by Sashiko, linked below.

3628215f7f selftests/mm: add userfaultfd RWP tests
Coverage for UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP and UFFDIO_RWPROTECT:

  rwp-async          async mode — touch pages, verify permissions are
                     auto-restored without a message
  rwp-sync           sync mode — access blocks, handler resolves via
                     UFFDIO_RWPROTECT
  rwp-pagemap        PAGEMAP_SCAN reports still-cold pages via
                     inverted PAGE_IS_ACCESSED
  rwp-mprotect       RWP survives mprotect(PROT_NONE) ->
                     mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) round-trip
  rwp-gup            GUP walks through a protnone RWP PTE (pipe
                     write/read drives the GUP path)
  rwp-async-toggle   UFFDIO_SET_MODE flips between sync and async
                     without re-registering
  rwp-close          closing the uffd restores page permissions
  rwp-fork           RWP survives fork() with EVENT_FORK; child's
                     PTEs keep the uffd bit
  rwp-fork-pin       RWP survives fork() on an RO-longterm-pinned
                     anon page (forces copy_present_page()); child
                     read auto-resolves and clears the bit, proving
                     PAGE_NONE was in place
  rwp-wp-exclusive   register with MODE_WP|MODE_RWP returns -EINVAL

All tests run against anon, shmem, shmem-private, hugetlb, and
hugetlb-private memory, except rwp-fork-pin which is anon-only —
copy_present_page() is the private-anon pinned-exclusive fork path.

Snapshot the RWP additions into tools/include/uapi/linux/userfaultfd.h so
the selftest builds without requiring "make headers" first, matching the
mechanism established by commit 580ea358af ("selftests/mm: fix
additional build errors for selftests").

39a7c34ea5 userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_SET_MODE for runtime sync/async toggle
Add an ioctl to toggle async mode at runtime without re-registering the
userfaultfd.  This allows a VMM to switch between sync and async RWP modes
on-the-fly -- for example, starting in async mode for working set
scanning, then switching to sync mode to intercept faults during page
eviction.

UFFDIO_SET_MODE takes an enable/disable bitmask of UFFD_FEATURE_* flags. 
Only UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC is toggleable today; the ioctl rejects any
other bit with -EINVAL.  Enabling RWP_ASYNC also requires RWP to have been
negotiated at UFFDIO_API time, mirroring the UFFDIO_API invariant.

Fault-path readers of ctx->features run under mmap_read_lock or a per-VMA
lock; the RMW takes mmap_write_lock and calls vma_start_write() on every
UFFD-armed VMA, so those readers are fully excluded. 
userfaultfd_show_fdinfo(), however, reads ctx->features without any lock,
so the RMW is written as a single WRITE_ONCE and fdinfo reads it with
READ_ONCE.  That keeps the lockless observer from seeing a mid-RMW
intermediate and removes the audit burden when new toggleable bits are
added later.

When switching to async, pending sync waiters are woken so they retry and
auto-resolve under the new mode.

45347e3d32 userfaultfd: add UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC for async fault resolution
Sync RWP delivers a message and blocks the faulting thread until the
handler resolves the fault.  For working-set tracking the VMM does not
need the message: it just needs to know, at scan time, which pages were
touched.  Async RWP serves that use case — the kernel restores access
in-place and the faulting thread continues without blocking.

The VMM reconstructs the access pattern after the fact via PAGEMAP_SCAN:
pages whose uffd bit is still set (inverted PAGE_IS_ACCESSED) were not
re-accessed since the last RWP cycle.

Worth calling out: async resolution upgrades writable private anon PTEs
via pte_mkwrite() when can_change_pte_writable() allows, mirroring
do_numa_page().  Without it, every re-access of an RWP'd writable page
would COW-fault a second time.

UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC requires UFFD_FEATURE_RWP.

3389648819 mm/pagemap: add PAGE_IS_ACCESSED for RWP tracking
PAGEMAP_SCAN already reports PAGE_IS_WRITTEN from the inverted uffd PTE
bit, targeting the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT workflow.  UFFDIO_RWPROTECT reuses
the same PTE bit as a marker for read-write protection, but "has been
written" and "has been accessed" are distinct semantic signals — they
happen to share one PTE bit today only because the two implementations
share infrastructure.

Give RWP its own pagemap category so the UAPI does not conflate them:

  PAGE_IS_WRITTEN   reported on VM_UFFD_WP VMAs,  !pte_uffd(pte)
  PAGE_IS_ACCESSED  reported on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs, !pte_uffd(pte)

Both still read the same PTE bit today, but each is scoped to the VMA
whose registered mode makes the bit meaningful.  If a future
implementation moves RWP to a separate PTE bit, only PAGE_IS_ACCESSED
switches over.

This is a UAPI narrowing.  Outside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs the uffd bit is always
clear, so PAGEMAP_SCAN used to flag PAGE_IS_WRITTEN on every present PTE
there — a meaningless duplicate of PAGE_IS_PRESENT.  Now PAGE_IS_WRITTEN
fires only inside VM_UFFD_WP VMAs.

pagemap_hugetlb_category() now takes the vma like its PTE/PMD peers.

2d427bb016 mm/userfaultfd: add RWP fault delivery and expose UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP
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.

6eab8f2cc6 userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP and UFFDIO_RWPROTECT plumbing
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.

7974c23853 mm: handle VM_UFFD_RWP in khugepaged, rmap, and GUP
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.

763f43865f mm: preserve RWP marker across PTE rewrites
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.

9cf3c554ac mm: add MM_CP_UFFD_RWP change_protection() flag
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.

134c1d031a mm: add VM_UFFD_RWP VMA flag
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.

2730ee209f userfaultfd: test uffd VMA flags through the vma_flags_t API
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.

c0ffe79eed mm: rename uffd-wp PTE accessors to uffd
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.

2bd507795e mm: rename uffd-wp PTE bit macros to uffd
The uffd-wp PTE bit is about to gain a second consumer: userfaultfd RWP
will use the same bit to mark access-tracking PTEs, distinct from
mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA-hinting PTEs.  WP vs RWP semantics come from
the VMA flag; the bit is just "uffd has claimed this entry." Drop the
"_wp" suffix from the arch-private bit macros so they reflect that.

  x86:   _PAGE_BIT_UFFD_WP  -> _PAGE_BIT_UFFD
         _PAGE_UFFD_WP      -> _PAGE_UFFD
         _PAGE_SWP_UFFD_WP  -> _PAGE_SWP_UFFD
  arm64: PTE_UFFD_WP        -> PTE_UFFD
         PTE_SWP_UFFD_WP    -> PTE_SWP_UFFD
  riscv: _PAGE_UFFD_WP      -> _PAGE_UFFD
         _PAGE_SWP_UFFD_WP  -> _PAGE_SWP_UFFD

Pure mechanical rename -- no behavior change.

c6f11553c0 mm: decouple protnone helpers from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
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.

2253208bec mm/swap: colocate page-cluster sysctl with swap readahead
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.

3cedb745d3 mm: clarify the folio_free_swap() for do_swap_page()
Since commit 4b34f1d82c ("mm, swap: free the swap cache after folio is
mapped"), we have relied on do_wp_page() to handle the non-exclusive case,
where the folio may either be reused or require CoW.

As a result, using the refcount in do_swap_page() to decide when to free
the swap cache is no longer necessary, since do_wp_page() can handle this
more cleanly and consistently.

We can now simply use FAULT_FLAG_WRITE together with exclusivity to decide
when to free the swap cache in do_swap_page().
