git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner: "Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current folio. The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems: - btrfs - buffer - ext4 - f2fs - gfs2 - iomap - netfs - xfs - mm This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs, they were just mildly inefficient. This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on 64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures. Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are always unsigned regardless of architecture" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.folio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: Add uoff_t mm: Use folio_next_pos() xfs: Use folio_next_pos() netfs: Use folio_next_pos() iomap: Use folio_next_pos() gfs2: Use folio_next_pos() f2fs: Use folio_next_pos() ext4: Use folio_next_pos() buffer: Use folio_next_pos() btrfs: Use folio_next_pos() filemap: Add folio_next_pos()
2025-12-01Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.writeback' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull writeback updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Allow file systems to increase the minimum writeback chunk size. The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that written back inodes on rotational media are switched a lot. Besides introducing additional seeks, this also can lead to extreme file fragmentation on zoned devices when a lot of files are cached relative to the available writeback bandwidth. This adds a superblock field that allows the file system to override the default size, and sets it to the zone size for zoned XFS. - Add logging for slow writeback when it exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs. This helps identify tasks waiting for a long time and pinpoint potential issues. Recording the starting jiffies is also useful when debugging a crashed vmcore. - Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk Cleanups: - filemap_* writeback interface cleanups. Adding filemap_fdatawrite_wbc ended up being a mistake, as all but the original btrfs caller should be using better high level interfaces instead. This series removes all these low-level interfaces, switches btrfs to a more specific interface, and cleans up other too low-level interfaces. With this the writeback_control that is passed to the writeback code is only initialized in three places. - Remove __filemap_fdatawrite, __filemap_fdatawrite_range, and filemap_fdatawrite_wbc - Add filemap_flush_nr helper for btrfs - Push struct writeback_control into start_delalloc_inodes in btrfs - Rename filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick to filemap_flush_range - Stop opencoding filemap_fdatawrite_range in 9p, ocfs2, and mm - Make wbc_to_tag() inline and use it in fs" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: Make wbc_to_tag() inline and use it in fs. xfs: set s_min_writeback_pages for zoned file systems writeback: allow the file system to override MIN_WRITEBACK_PAGES writeback: cleanup writeback_chunk_size mm: rename filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick to filemap_flush_range mm: remove __filemap_fdatawrite_range mm: remove filemap_fdatawrite_wbc mm: remove __filemap_fdatawrite mm,btrfs: add a filemap_flush_nr helper btrfs: push struct writeback_control into start_delalloc_inodes btrfs: use the local tmp_inode variable in start_delalloc_inodes ocfs2: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in ocfs2_journal_submit_inode_data_buffers 9p: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in v9fs_mmap_vm_close mm: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in filemap_invalidate_inode writeback: Add logging for slow writeback (exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs) writeback: Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk.
2025-11-05filemap: add helper to look up dirty folios in a rangeBrian Foster
Add a new filemap_get_folios_dirty() helper to look up existing dirty folios in a range and add them to a folio_batch. This is to support optimization of certain iomap operations that only care about dirty folios in a target range. For example, zero range only zeroes the subset of dirty pages over unwritten mappings, seek hole/data may use similar logic in the future, etc. Note that the helper is intended for use under internal fs locks. Therefore it trylocks folios in order to filter out clean folios. This loosely follows the logic from filemap_range_has_writeback().

When reading 60k data, 128k readahead is also triggered via page_cache_sync_ra(). However, in this case the readahead flag is set on the 0xf page. Although the requested read size (req_count) is 60k, the actual read will be aligned to folio size (64k), which triggers the readahead flag and initiates asynchronous readahead via page_cache_async_ra(). This results in two readahead operations totaling 256k. The root cause is that when the requested size is smaller than the actual read size (due to folio alignment), it triggers asynchronous readahead. By changing last_index alignment from page size to folio size, we ensure the requested size matches the actual read size, preventing the case where a single read operation triggers two readahead operations.

Set the readahead flag to the next folio. Because the minimum order of folio in address_space equals the block size (at least in xfs and bcachefs that already support bs > ps), having request_count aligned to block size will not cause overread.

2025-09-13mm/filemap: add AS_KERNEL_FILEBoris Burkov
Patch series "introduce kernel file mapped folios", v4. Btrfs currently tracks its metadata pages in the page cache, using a fake inode (fs_info->btree_inode) with offsets corresponding to where the metadata is stored in the filesystem's full logical address space. A consequence of this is that when btrfs uses filemap_add_folio(), this usage is charged to the cgroup of whichever task happens to be running at the time. These folios don't belong to any particular user cgroup, so I don't think it makes much sense for them to be charged in that way. Some negative consequences as a result: - A task can be holding some important btrfs locks, then need to lookup some metadata and go into reclaim, extending the duration it holds that lock for, and unfairly pushing its own reclaim pain onto other cgroups. - If that cgroup goes into reclaim, it might reclaim these folios a different non-reclaiming cgroup might need soon. This is naturally offset by LRU reclaim, but still. We have two options for how to manage such file pages: 1. charge them to the root cgroup. 2. don't charge them to any cgroup at all. 2. breaks the invariant that every mapped page has a cgroup. This is workable, but unnecessarily risky. Therefore, go with 1. A very similar proposal to use the root cgroup was previously made by Qu, where he eventually proposed the idea of setting it per address_space. This makes good sense for the btrfs use case, as the behavior should apply to all use of the address_space, not select allocations. I.e., if someone adds another filemap_add_folio() call using btrfs's btree_inode, we would almost certainly want to account that to the root cgroup as well. This patch (of 3): Add the flag AS_KERNEL_FILE to the address_space to indicate that this mapping's memory is exempt from the usual memcg accounting.

"mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian) does some cleanup work in the selftests code. "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes) extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" feature. "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park) extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all possible user-requested parameters.

2025-05-12filemap: do not use folio_contains for swap cache foliosKairui Song
Currently, none of the folio_contains callers should encounter swap cache folios. For fs/ callers, swap cache folios are never part of their workflow. For filemap and truncate, folio_contains is only used for sanity checks to verify the folio index matches the expected lookup / invalidation target. The swap cache does not utilize filemap or truncate helpers in ways that would trigger these checks, as it mostly implements its own cache management. Shmem won't trigger these sanity checks either unless thing went wrong, as it would directly trigger a BUG because swap cache index are unrelated and almost never matches shmem index. Shmem have to handle mixed values of folios, shadows, and swap entries, so it has its own way of handling the mapping. While some filemap helpers works for swap cache space, the swap cache is different from the page cache in many ways. So this particular helper will unlikely to work in a helpful way for swap cache folios. So make it explicit here that folio_contains should not be used for swap cache folios. This helps to avoid misuse, make swap cache less exposed and remove the folio_index usage here.

2025-04-15mm: skip folio reclaim in legacy memcg contexts for deadlockable mappingsJoanne Koong
Currently in shrink_folio_list(), reclaim for folios under writeback falls into 3 different cases: 1) Reclaim is encountering an excessive number of folios under writeback and this folio has both the writeback and reclaim flags set 2) Dirty throttling is enabled (this happens if reclaim through cgroup is not enabled, if reclaim through cgroupv2 memcg is enabled, or if reclaim is on the root cgroup), or if the folio is not marked for immediate reclaim, or if the caller does not have __GFP_FS (or __GFP_IO if it's going to swap) set 3) Legacy cgroupv1 encounters a folio that already has the reclaim flag set and the caller did not have __GFP_FS (or __GFP_IO if swap) set In cases 1) and 2), we activate the folio and skip reclaiming it while in case 3), we wait for writeback to finish on the folio and then try to reclaim the folio again. In case 3, we wait on writeback because cgroupv1 does not have dirty folio throttling, as such this is a mitigation against the case where there are too many folios in writeback with nothing else to reclaim. If a filesystem (eg fuse) may deadlock due to reclaim waiting on writeback, then the filesystem needs to add inefficient messy workarounds to prevent this. To improve the performance of these filesystems, this commit adds two things: a) a AS_WRITEBACK_MAY_DEADLOCK_ON_RECLAIM mapping flag that filesystems may set to indicate that reclaim should not wait on writeback b) if legacy memcg encounters a folio with this AS_WRITEBACK_MAY_DEADLOCK_ON_RECLAIM flag set (eg case 3), the folio will be activated and skip reclaim (eg default to behavior in case 2) instead.

This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM.

The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations.

2025-01-13mm: factor out the order calculation into a new helperBaolin Wang
Patch series "Support large folios for tmpfs", v3. Traditionally, tmpfs only supported PMD-sized large folios. However nowadays with other file systems supporting any sized large folios, and extending anonymous to support mTHP, we should not restrict tmpfs to allocating only PMD-sized large folios, making it more special. Instead, we should allow tmpfs can allocate any sized large folios. Considering that tmpfs already has the 'huge=' option to control the PMD-sized large folios allocation, we can extend the 'huge=' option to allow any sized large folios. The semantics of the 'huge=' mount option are: huge=never: no any sized large folios huge=always: any sized large folios huge=within_size: like 'always' but respect the i_size huge=advise: like 'always' if requested with madvise() Note: for tmpfs mmap() faults, due to the lack of a write size hint, still allocate the PMD-sized large folios if huge=always/within_size/advise is set. Moreover, the 'deny' and 'force' testing options controlled by '/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled', still retain the same semantics. The 'deny' can disable any sized large folios for tmpfs, while the 'force' can enable PMD sized large folios for tmpfs. This patch (of 6): Factor out the order calculation into a new helper, which can be reused by shmem in the following patch.

Patch series "page->index removals in mm", v2. As part of shrinking struct page, we need to stop using page->index. This patchset gets rid of most of the remaining references to page->index in mm, as well as increasing the number of functions which take a const folio/page pointer. It shrinks the text segment of mm by a few hundred bytes in my test config, probably mostly from removing calls to compound_head() in page_to_pgoff(). This patch (of 7): Change the function signature to pass in the folio as all three callers have it. This removes a reference to page->index, which we're trying to get rid of. And add kernel-doc.

There has been efforts over the last 16 years to enable enable Large Block Sizes (LBS), that is block sizes in filesystems where bs > page size. Through these efforts we have learned that one of the main blockers to supporting bs > ps in filesystems has been a way to allocate pages that are at least the filesystem block size on the page cache where bs > ps. Thanks to various previous efforts it is possible to support bs > ps in XFS with only a few changes in XFS itself. Most changes are to the page cache to support minimum order folio support for the target block size on the filesystem. A motivation for Large Block Sizes today is to support high-capacity (large amount of Terabytes) QLC SSDs where the internal Indirection Unit (IU) are typically greater than 4k to help reduce DRAM and so in turn cost and space. In practice this then allows different architectures to use a base page size of 4k while still enabling support for block sizes aligned to the larger IUs by relying on high order folios on the page cache when needed. It also allows to take advantage of the drive's support for atomics larger than 4k with buffered IO support in Linux. As described this year at LSFMM, supporting large atomics greater than 4k enables databases to remove the need to rely on their own journaling, so they can disable double buffered writes, which is a feature different cloud providers are already enabling through custom storage solutions" * tag 'vfs-6.12.blocksize' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (22 commits) Documentation: iomap: fix a typo iomap: remove the iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc return value iomap: pass the iomap to the punch callback iomap: pass flags to iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc iomap: improve shared block detection in iomap_unshare_iter iomap: handle a post-direct I/O invalidate race in iomap_write_delalloc_release docs:filesystems: fix spelling and grammar mistakes in iomap design page filemap: fix htmldoc warning for mapping_align_index() iomap: make zero range flush conditional on unwritten mappings iomap: fix handling of dirty folios over unwritten extents iomap: add a private argument for iomap_file_buffered_write iomap: remove set_memor_ro() on zero page xfs: enable block size larger than page size support xfs: make the calculation generic in xfs_sb_validate_fsb_count() xfs: expose block size in stat xfs: use kvmalloc for xattr buffers iomap: fix iomap_dio_zero() for fs bs > system page size filemap: cap PTE range to be created to allowed zero fill in folio_map_range() mm: split a folio in minimum folio order chunks readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in readahead ...

Supporting mapping_min_order implies that we guarantee each folio in the page cache has at least an order of mapping_min_order. When adding new folios to the page cache we must also ensure the index used is aligned to the mapping_min_order as the page cache requires the index to be aligned to the order of the folio.

This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. * tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (411 commits) mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation mm/zswap: fix a white space issue mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when migrating hugetlb folio mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode mm: memcg1: convert charge move flags to unsigned long long alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting lib: reuse page_ext_data() to obtain codetag_ref lib: add missing newline character in the warning message mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level() mm/kmemleak: replace strncpy() with strscpy() mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB mm: ignore data-race in __swap_writepage hugetlbfs: ensure generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters mm: swap_state: use folio_alloc_mpol() in __read_swap_cache_async() mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails ...
