4 dayspowerpc/fadump: collect dump when CPU_STATE_DATA is less than reservedShivang Upadhyay
During Fadump in Qemu VM, when maxcpus value is set to more than current cpus, following failure is observed. [ 0.045806] [ T1] rtas fadump: Dump taken by platform is incomplete (0) This is because the CPU_STATE_DATA is allocated for maxcpus, while the data is only filled for current cpus. As per current implementation of Fadump, dumped_bytes and source_len for a region have to match, Which is failing for qemu's case, Even tough the dumped bytes are reported correctly for only the current cpus.

9 daysmm: make per-VMA locks available universallyDave Hansen
Patch series "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups", v7. tl;dr: Make per-VMA locks available in all configs. Simplify some of the per-VMA lock users now that they can rely on them being always available. Binder and networking folks: Your code is the target of the cleanups. I'm cc'ing you now on v2 because there's emerging consensus on the mm side that the approach here is sane. I'm not quite sure how this pile would get merged, but ack/review tags would be appreciated if this looks good to you. Longer version: When working on some x86 shadow stack code, it was a real pain to avoid causing recursive locking problems with mmap_lock. One way to avoid those was to avoid mmap_lock and use per-VMA locks instead. They are great, but they are not available in all configs which makes them unusable in generic code, or if you want to completely avoid mmap_lock. Make per-VMA locks available in all configs. Right now, they are only available on select architectures when SMP and MMU are enabled. But all of the primitives that per-VMA locks are built on (RCU, maple trees, refcounts) work just fine without SMP or MMU. The only real downside is that making VMAs a wee bit bigger on !MMU and !SMP builds. The upside is much cleaner code, lower complexity and less #ifdeffery. Clean up a binder VMA locking site now that it can rely on per-VMA locks. Building on top of universally-available per-VMA locks, introduce a new helper. Since the new API does not require callers to have a fallback to mmap_lock, it's much easier to use. Callers can potentially replace this very common kernel idiom: mmap_read_lock(mm); vma = vma_lookup() // fiddle with vma mmap_read_unlock(mm); with: vma = vma_start_read_unlocked(mm, address); // fiddle with vma vma_end_read(vma); Which avoids mmap_lock entirely in the fast path. Use that new API for another binder site and one in the TCP code. This patch (of 7): The per-VMA locks have been around for several years. They've had some bugs worked out of them and have seen quite wide use. However, they are still only available when architectures explicitly enable them. Remove the conditional compilation around the per-VMA locks, making them available on all architectures and configs. The approach up to now seemed to be to add ARCH_SUPPORTS_PER_VMA_LOCK when the architecture started using per-VMA locks in the fault handler. But, contrary to the naming, the Kconfig option does not really indicate whether the architecture supports per-VMA locks or not. It is more of a marker for whether the architecture is likely to benefit from per-VMA locks. To me, the most important thing side-effect of universal availability is letting per-VMA locks be used in SMP=n configs. This lets us use per-VMA locking in all x86 code without fallbacks. Overall, this just generally makes the kernel simpler. Just look at the diffstat. It also opens the door to users that want to use the per-VMA locks in common code. Doing *that* brings additional simplifications. The downside of this is adding some fields to vm_area_struct and mm_struct. There are likely ways to optimize this, especially for things like SMP=n configs. For now, do the simplest thing: use the same implementation everywhere. == Considerations for NOMMU config == NOMMU systems do not write-lock VMAs, therefore read-locking a VMA would always succeed unless VMA is detached. Therefore for NOMMU config we make vma_mark_attached() a NOOP, which keeps VMAs always in detached state. This causes VMA read-locking to always fail and the caller falls back to locking mmap_lock. The following functions will have a different implementation in NOMMU config: - vma_mark_attached(), vma_mark_detached() are made NOOPs, keeping VMAs always in a detached state and preventing assertions and refcount underflows; - vma_start_write(), vma_start_write_killable() are made NOOPs to avoid warnings in __vma_start_write() due to VMAs being detached. These functions are not used in NOMMU code but __vma_start_write() is an exported function, therefore might be used by drivers. - vma_assert_attached() is made NOOP because it's reachable from NOMMU code via split_vma()->vma_iter_store_new()->vma_iter_store_overwrite(); - vma_assert_write_locked() is asserting vma->vm_mm is write-locked, as was done before this change; - vma_assert_locked() is asserting vma->vm_mm is locked, as was done before this change; The following functions work for both MMU and NOMMU configs: - vma_lock_init() performs the same initialization as for MMU config; - mm_lock_seqcount_init(), mm_lock_seqcount_begin(), mm_lock_seqcount_end() are called from mmap_write_{lock|unlock} and update mm_lock_seq correctly. - mmap_lock_speculate_try_begin(), mmap_lock_speculate_retry() work as is because mm_lock_seq is updated correctly; - vma_start_read(), vma_start_read_locked() will always fail because VMAs are always detached; - vma_end_read() will never be called because vma_start_read() never succeeds; - vma_is_attached() always return false because VMAs are always detached; - vma_assert_detached() will never trigger because VMAs are never attached; - vma_start_read_locked() always return false because VMAs are always detached; - lock_vma_under_rcu() will be safe as the attempted read lock will bail; Changes in the following files are not affecting NOMMU config: task_mmu.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n; pagewalk.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n; userfaultfd.c - not compiled when CONFIG_MMU=n (CONFIG_USERFAULTFD depends on CONFIG_MMU); The following changes in the BPF code are made to keep NOMMU config working like before: stack_map_lock_vma() - keeps mmap_lock in NOMMU config; bpf_iter_task_vma_new() - bails out in NOMMU config; Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260831203056.838265-1-surenb@google.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260831203056.838265-2-surenb@google.com Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) <ljs@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE) <vbabka@kernel.org> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Cc: Liam R.

10 dayspowerpc: remove coredump supportChristian Brauner
A task that dumps open spufs context adds a bunch of extra elf notes describing the SPU state. It is the only reason do_coredump() unshares the file descriptor table. We could make this conditional on spufs but eh. Nothing can consume those notes anymore. gdb dropped Cell Broadband Engine debugging in 9.1 and binutils removed it in 2.34. That's about 6 years ago. So no program can actually read an SPU note out of a core file and probably never did in recent history. Note that the IBM Cell blades that shipped the Cell processor were removed in commit 05bf59fbeef3 ("powerpc/cell: Remove support for IBM Cell Blades"). The PlayStation 3 is the only platform left and nothing there produces or reads these notes. So remove it.

2026-09-29powerpc/pseries/iommu: Add TCEs for 16GB pages when RAM is pre-mappedGaurav Batra
In powerPC, if Dynamic DMA Window is big enough, RAM is pre-mapped. To determine the size of RAM, a PAPR+ property "ibm,lrdr-capacity" is used. This OF property dictates what is the max size of RAM an LPAR can have, including DR added memory. In PowerPC, 16GB pages can be allocated at machine level and then assigned to LPARs. These 16GB pages are added to LPAR memory at the time of boot. The address range for these 16GB pages is above MAX RAM an LPAR can have (ibm,lrdr-capacity). In the current implementation, these 16GB pages are being excluded from pre-mapped TCEs. A driver can have DMA buffers allocated from 16GB pages. This results in platform to raise an EEH when DMA is attempted on buffers in 16GB memory range. commit 6aa989ab2bd0 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: memory notifier incorrectly adds TCEs for pmemory") Prior to the above patch, memblock_end_of_DRAM() was being used to determine the MAX memory of an LPAR. This included 16GB pages as well. The issue with using memblock_end_of_DRAM() is that when pmemory is converted to RAM via daxctl command, the DDW engine will incorrectly try to add TCEs for pmemory as well. Below is the address distribution of RAM, 16GB pages and pmemory for an LPAR with max memory of 256GB, memory allocated 64GB, 2 16GB pages and assigned pmemory of 8GB. RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000fffffffff 64G online yes 0-255 0x0000004000000000-0x00000047ffffffff 32G online yes 1024-1151 cat /sys/bus/nd/devices/region0/resource 0x40100000000 cat /sys/bus/nd/devices/region0/size 8589934592 The approach to fix this problem is to revert back the code changes introduced by the above patch and to stash away the MAX memory of an LPAR, including 16GB pages, at the LPAR boot time. This value is then used whenever TCEs are needed to be pre-mapped - enable_DDW() or, iommu_mem_notifier() Fixes: 6aa989ab2bd0 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: memory notifier incorrectly adds TCEs for pmemory") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Gaurav Batra <gbatra@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) <ritesh.list@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260806205027.86428-1-gbatra@linux.ibm.com

Convert to const struct mnt_idmap. A mount's idmapping is immutable. The only thing that is allowed to be modified afterwards is the reference count and that is hidden behind mnt_idmap_get() and mnt_idmap_put(). Everything else only ever reads from the idmapping. This is the same model that struct cred uses and the idmapping is also rather sensitive. So make the idmap argument const wherever we can. The conversion is done from the bottom up so callers can continue to pass a non-const pointer to a const parameter until the conversion is finished. No functional changes.

The commit f0ac60e6e311 ("powerpc/powernv/pci: Switch to use msi_create_parent_irq_domain()") removed the legacy MSI irq chip pnv_pci_msi_irq_chip but left behind the static definition of it and its reference in is_pnv_opal_msi(). The KVM IRQ bypass for vfio devices is broken because the comparision in is_pnv_opal_msi() fails on the comparision with stale unused variable showing the below errors in dmesg. kvmppc_set_passthru_irq_hv: Could not assign IRQ map for (X,Y) kvmppc_set_passthru_irq (irq X, gsi Y) fails: -2 vfio-pci A:B:C.D irq bypass producer (eventfd Z) registration fails: -2 The patch removes the stale variable definition and fixes the is_pnv_opal_msi() by comparing against the chip name prefix.

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add 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 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

2026-08-11powerpc/pseries/iommu: switch to Default DMA window during kdumpGaurav Batra
In PowerPC (pseries) a non-virtualized adapter will have 2 DMA windows - 2GB default and a larger Dynamic DMA Window (DDW). DDW is large enough to map total RAM to a device. During normal functioning of OS, since RAM is pre-mapped, 2GB default window is not used. The only scenario it might get used is when buffers in pmemory are mapped to the device for DMA. As of today, during kdump, during early device discovery, pci_dma_find() finds that the device has 2 DMA windows. It selects to use DDW. This is a kdump path and DMA window is needed for IO to the device. Although commit 09a3c1e46142 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not initialized for kdump over SR-IOV") fixed an issue during kdump with SR-IOV case, but this also made the kdump prefer DDW over the default DMA window when both are present (dedicated adapter case). Since the DDW is fully mapped by the previous kernel, iommu_table_clear() can free only KDUMP_MIN_TCE_ENTRIES (2048) TCEs for use by kdump kernel. This is not enough when the dump device is NVMe over Fibre Channel. Because nvme-fc driver DMA-maps the cmds and resp IUs of every pre-allocated request and each such mapping consumes roughly: 32 (IO queues, one per cpus = nr_cpus) * 64 (queue_depth, blk-mq kdump limit) * 2 (cmd+resp) = 4096 This is already double of what we have without counting admin queues and lpfc driver's own allocations / mapping requirement. Hence this results into iommu_alloc failures like - lpfc 0153:70:00.0: iommu_alloc failed, tbl 0000000034ebcf5e vaddr 00000000d814df0b npages 1 lpfc 0153:70:00.0: FCP Op failed - cmdiu dma mapping failed. lpfc 0153:70:00.0: iommu_alloc failed, tbl 0000000034ebcf5e vaddr 000000009779e4d2 npages 1 lpfc 0153:70:00.0: FCP Op failed - cmdiu dma mapping failed. iommu_map_phys+0x1c4/0x1f0 (unreliable) dma_iommu_map_phys+0x54/0xa0 dma_map_phys+0x3f8/0x590 __nvme_fc_init_request+0x110/0x300 [nvme_fc] nvme_fc_init_request+0x60/0xb8 [nvme_fc] blk_mq_alloc_map_and_rqs+0x388/0x510 blk_mq_alloc_tag_set+0x2a4/0x5f0 nvme_alloc_io_tag_set+0xe0/0x1e0 [nvme_core] nvme_fc_connect_ctrl_work+0x85c/0xdac [nvme_fc] process_one_work+0x1e4/0x5a0 worker_thread+0x1ec/0x3e0 Increasing the number of free TCE entries in iommu_table_clear() will increase the probability of hitting EEH since there could still be some active IOs from the previous life of the kernel. Hence this patch partially reverts the previous fixes commit and switches the kdump's default back to 2GB default DMA window instead of DDW window. This window will mostly be empty. Or, could be slightly used if buffers in pmemory were mapped for IO.

2026-08-04mm: decouple protnone helpers from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCINGKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
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.

2026-08-03powerpc/crash: stop watchdogs before booting kdump kernelSourabh Jain
On pseries LPAR systems, watchdog timers configured from userspace can remain active after a kernel panic. When a panic triggers kdump, the crashing kernel jumps directly to the kdump kernel without stopping active watchdogs. As a result, the watchdogs remain active after the kdump kernel starts. If dump capture takes longer than the watchdog timeout, PHYP resets the LPAR before the dump is fully captured, causing dump capture to fail. Fix this by issuing the `H_WATCHDOG` hcall during the crash shutdown sequence to stop all active watchdogs before booting the kdump kernel.

2026-08-03powerpc/xive: propagate IPI init errors to prevent use-after-freeGou Hao
When xive_init_ipis() fails (e.g. irq_domain_alloc_irqs() fails), the error path frees the global xive_ipis array. However, xive_smp_probe() previously ignored this failure and proceeded to call xive_setup_cpu_ipi(), which dereferences the already-freed xive_ipis pointer -- a use-after-free. Now that xive_smp_probe() returns int (previous patch), propagate the error from xive_init_ipis() and xive_setup_cpu_ipi() through xive_smp_probe(). Check the return value in both pnv_smp_probe() and pSeries_smp_probe() so that IPI setup is aborted cleanly on failure, avoiding the use-after-free.
