10 daysmm/mincore: handle non-swap entries before !CONFIG_SWAP guardUsama Arif
mincore_swap() also fields migration/hwpoison entries (and shmem swapin-error entries), which can exist on !CONFIG_SWAP builds when CONFIG_MIGRATION or CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE is enabled. The !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SWAP) guard ran before the non-swap-entry early return, so mincore_pte_range() can spuriously WARN and report these pages nonresident on !CONFIG_SWAP kernels. Move the guard below the non-swap-entry check so only true swap entries trip the WARN, and migration/hwpoison entries take the existing "uptodate / non-shmem" path.

10 daysmm/list_lru: drain before clearing xarray entry on reparentShakeel Butt
memcg_reparent_list_lrus() clears the dying memcg's xarray entry with xas_store(&xas, NULL) before reparenting its per-node lists into the parent. This opens a window where a concurrent list_lru_del() arriving for the dying memcg sees xa_load() == NULL, walks to the parent in lock_list_lru_of_memcg(), takes the parent's per-node lock, and calls list_del_init() on an item still physically linked on the dying memcg's list. If another in-flight thread holds the dying memcg's per-node lock at the same moment (another list_lru_del, or a list_lru_walk_one running an isolate callback), both threads modify ->next/->prev pointers on the same physical list under different locks. Adjacent items can corrupt each other's links. Fix it by reversing the order: reparent each per-node list and mark the child's list lru dead and then clear the xarray entry. Any concurrent list_lru op that finds the still-set xarray entry either takes the dying memcg's per-node lock (synchronizing with the drain) or sees LONG_MIN and walks to the parent, where the items now live.

10 daysmm/huge_memory: use correct flags for device private PMD entryLorenzo Stoakes
Commit 65edfda6f3f2 ("mm/rmap: extend rmap and migration support device-private entries") updated set_pmd_migration_entry() to use pmdp_huge_get_and_clear() in the softleaf case, but made no further adjustments to the function itself. Therefore this function continues to incorrectly use pmd_write(), pmd_soft_dirty() and pmd_uffd_wp() to determine whether the installed migration entry should be marked writable, softdirty or uffd-wp respectively. Whilst all are incorrect, the most problematic of these is pmd_write(), as this can lead to corrupted rmap state. On x86-64 _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY is aliased to _PAGE_RW. So calling pmd_write() on a softleaf will return the softdirty state encoded in the entry, assuming CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY was enabled. This was observed when running the hmm.hmm_device_private.anon_write_child selftest: 1. The test faults in a range then migrates it such that a device-private THP range is established. 2. The parent then migrates it to a device-private writable PMD entry whose folio is entirely AnonExclusive with entire_mapcount=1, softdirty set (accidentally correct write state). 3. The parent forks and the PMD entries are set to device-private read only entries, entire_mapcount=2, softdirty still set. 4. [BUG] The child writes to the range then migrates to RAM - intending to install non-writable migration entries - but replacing parent and child PMD mappings with WRITABLE entries due to misinterpreting the softdirty bit. 5. In remove_migration_pmd(), if !softleaf_is_migration_read(entry) we set the RMAP_EXCLUSIVE flag when calling folio_add_anon_rmap_pmd() for both parent and child, which are therefore AnonExclusive. 6. [SPLAT] Child sets migrated folio entire_mapcount=1, parent sets entire_mapcount=2 and we end up with an AnonExclusive folio with entire_mapcount=2! Assert fires in __folio_add_anon_rmap(): VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(folio_test_large(folio) && folio_entire_mapcount(folio) > 1 && PageAnonExclusive(cur_page), folio) This patch fixes the issue by correctly referencing the softleaf entry fields for writable, softdirty and uffd-wp in set_pmd_migration_entry(). It also only updates A/D flags if the entry is present as these are otherwise not meaningful for a softleaf entry. This patch also flips the if (!present) { ... } else { ... } logic in set_pmd_migration_entry() so it is easier to understand, and adds some comments to make things clearer. I was able to bisect this to commit 775465fd26a3 ("lib/test_hmm: add zone device private THP test infrastructure") which first exposes this bug as it was the commit that permitted test_hmm to generate the test. However commit 65edfda6f3f2 ("mm/rmap: extend rmap and migration support device-private entries") is the commit that actually enabled this behaviour.

10 daysmm/cma_sysfs: skip inactive CMA areas in sysfsKaitao Cheng
cma_activate_area() can fail after a CMA area has already been added to cma_areas[]. In that case the area is left in the global array, but it does not reach the point where CMA_ACTIVATED is set. cma_sysfs_init() currently walks all cma_area_count entries and creates sysfs files for every area, including ones that failed activation. These areas are not usable CMA areas and should not be exposed to userspace as valid CMA regions. If such an inactive area is exposed, userspace sees a CMA directory whose read-only accounting files report zeros. total_pages and available_pages report zero because the failed activation path clears cma->count and cma->available_count, while the allocation and release counters also stay at zero because the area cannot service CMA allocations. This makes the failed area look like a valid but empty CMA region and can mislead tests, monitoring, and diagnostics. Skip CMA areas that did not reach CMA_ACTIVATED when creating the sysfs objects. Since inactive entries can now be skipped, make the error unwind tolerate entries that never had cma_kobj initialized.

13 daysuserfaultfd: verify VMA state across UFFDIO_COPY retryMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "userfaultfd: verify VMA state across UFFDIO_COPY retry", v2. ... and two more small fixes. This patch (of 3): mfill_copy_folio_retry() drops the VMA lock for copy_from_user() and reacquires it afterwards. The destination VMA can be replaced during that window. The existing check compares vma_uffd_ops() before and after the retry, but if a shmem VMA with MAP_SHARED is replaced with a shmem VMA with MAP_PRIVATE (or vice versa) the replacement goes undetected. The change from MAP_PRIVATE to MAP_SHARED will treat the folio allocated with shmem_alloc_folio() as anonymous and this will cause BUG() when mfill_atomic_install_pte() will try to folio_add_new_anon_rmap(). The change from MAP_SHARED to MAP_PRIVATE allows injection of folios into the page cache of the original VMA. There is no need to change for hugetlb because it never uses mfill_copy_folio_retry(). Introduce helpers for more comprehensive comparison of VMA state: - mfill_retry_state_save() to save the relevant VMA state into a struct mfill_retry_state (original uffd_ops, relevant VMA flags, vm_file and pgoff) before dropping the lock - mfill_retry_state_changed() to compare the saved state with the state of the VMA acquired after retaking the locks - mfill_retry_state_put() to release vm_file pinning. Use DEFINE_FREE() cleanup to wrap mfill_retry_state_put() to avoid complicating error handling paths in mfill_copy_folio_retry().

13 daysmm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix incorrect vmemmap restore in rollbackMuchun Song
vmemmap_restore_pte() rebuilds restored vmemmap pages from a tail-page template derived from compound_head(). This is wrong when the current PTE already maps a page whose contents are not tail-page metadata. In the rollback path of vmemmap_remap_free(), the first restored PTE is backed by vmemmap_head and contains head-page metadata. Reconstructing that page from a tail-page template overwrites the head-page state and corrupts the restored vmemmap page. Fix this by copying the full page from the page currently mapped by the PTE. Also pass vmemmap_tail to the rollback walk so only PTEs backed by the shared tail page are restored, while the head PTE remains mapped to vmemmap_head. Add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() checks for unexpected cases.

13 daysmm/damon/ops-common: call folio_test_lru() after folio_get()SeongJae Park
damon_get_folio() speculatively calls folio_test_lru() before folio_try_get(). The folio can get freed and reallocated to a tail page. In the case, VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in const_folio_flags() can be triggered. Remove the speculative call. Also mark folio_test_lru() check right after folio_try_get() success as no more unlikely. The race should be rare. Also the problem can happen only if the kernel has enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS. No real world report of this issue has been made so far. This fix is based on only theoretical analysis. That said, a bug is a bug. A similar issue was also fixed via commit 3203b3ab0fcf ("mm/filemap: don't call folio_test_locked() without a reference in next_uptodate_folio()"). I don't expect this change will make a meaningful impact to DAMON performance in the real world, though I will be happy to be corrected from the real world reports.

2026-05-28mm/cma: fix reserved page leak on activation failureMuchun Song
If cma_activate_area() fails after allocating only part of the range bitmaps, the cleanup path still has to release the reserved pages when CMA_RESERVE_PAGES_ON_ERROR is clear. That is still worth doing even in this __init path. A bitmap_zalloc() failure does not necessarily mean the system cannot make further progress: freeing the reserved CMA pages can return a substantial amount of memory to the buddy allocator and may relieve the temporary memory shortage that caused the allocation failure in the first place. However, the cleanup path currently uses the bitmap-freeing bound for page release as well. That is only correct for ranges whose bitmap allocation already succeeded. The failed range and all later ranges still keep their reserved pages, so a partial bitmap allocation failure can permanently leak them. Fix this by releasing reserved pages for all ranges.

2026-05-28mm/memory-failure: fix hugetlb_lock AA deadlock in get_huge_page_for_hwpoisonWupeng Ma
Two concurrent madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) calls on the same hugetlb page can trigger a recursive spinlock self-deadlock (AA deadlock) on hugetlb_lock when racing with a concurrent unmap: thread#0 thread#1 -------- -------- madvise(folio, MADV_HWPOISON) -> poisons the folio successfully madvise(folio, MADV_HWPOISON) unmap(folio) try_memory_failure_hugetlb get_huge_page_for_hwpoison spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock) <- held __get_huge_page_for_hwpoison hugetlb_update_hwpoison() -> MF_HUGETLB_FOLIO_PRE_POISONED goto out: folio_put() refcount: 1 -> 0 free_huge_folio() spin_lock_irqsave(&hugetlb_lock) -> AA DEADLOCK! The out: path in __get_huge_page_for_hwpoison() calls folio_put() to drop the GUP reference while the hugetlb_lock is still held by the hugetlb.c wrapper get_huge_page_for_hwpoison(). If concurrent unmap has released the page table mapping reference, folio_put() drops the folio refcount to zero, triggering free_huge_folio() which attempts to re-acquire the non-recursive hugetlb_lock. Fix this by moving hugetlb_lock acquisition from the hugetlb.c wrapper into get_huge_page_for_hwpoison(). Place spin_unlock_irq() before the folio_put() at the out: label so the folio is always released outside the lock.

2026-05-28mm/hugetlb: restore reservation on error in hugetlb folio copy pathsDavid Carlier
Two sites in mm/hugetlb.c allocate a hugetlb folio via alloc_hugetlb_folio() (consuming a VMA reservation) and then call copy_user_large_folio(), which became int-returning in commit 1cb9dc4b475c ("mm: hwpoison: support recovery from HugePage copy-on-write faults") and can now fail (e.g. -EHWPOISON on a hwpoisoned source page). On the failure path, folio_put() restores the global hugetlb pool count through free_huge_folio(), but the per-VMA reservation map entry is left marked consumed: - hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte() resubmission path (UFFDIO_COPY) - copy_hugetlb_page_range() fork-time CoW path when hugetlb_try_dup_anon_rmap() fails (rare: pinned hugetlb anon folio under fork) User-visible effect: on UFFDIO_COPY into a private hugetlb VMA where the resubmission copy fails, the reservation for that address is leaked from the VMA's reserve map. A subsequent fault at the same address takes the no-reservation path, and under hugetlb pool pressure the task is SIGBUSed at an address it had previously reserved. The fork-time CoW path leaks the same way in the child VMA's reserve map, though it requires the much rarer combination of pinned hugetlb anon page + hwpoisoned source. Add the missing restore_reserve_on_error() call before folio_put() on both error paths.

2026-05-28mm/cma_debug: fix invalid accesses for inactive CMA areasMuchun Song
cma_activate_area() can fail after allocating range bitmaps. Its cleanup path frees those bitmaps, but only clears cma->count and cma->available_count. It leaves cma->nranges and each range's count in place, so cma_debugfs_init() can still register debugfs files for an area that never activated successfully. That exposes two problems. Reading the bitmap file can make debugfs walk a freed range bitmap and trigger an invalid memory access. Reading maxchunk can also take cma->lock even though that lock is initialized only on the successful activation path. Fix this by creating debugfs entries only for CMA areas that reached CMA_ACTIVATED. c009da4258f9 introduced the invalid access to bitmap file. 2e32b947606d introduced the invalid access to cma->lock. This change applies to both issues. So I added two Fixes tags.

2026-05-28memcg: use round-robin victim selection in refill_stockShakeel Butt
Harry Yoo reported that get_random_u32_below() is not safe to call in the nmi context and memcg charge draining can happen in nmi context. More specifically get_random_u32_below() is neither reentrant- nor NMI-safe: it acquires a per-cpu local_lock via local_lock_irqsave() on the batched_entropy_u32 state. An NMI that lands on a CPU mid-update of the ChaCha batch state and recurses into the random subsystem would corrupt that state. The memcg_stock local_trylock prevents re-entry on the percpu stock itself, but cannot protect an unrelated subsystem's per-cpu lock. Replace the random pick with a per-cpu round-robin counter stored in memcg_stock_pcp and serialized by the same local_trylock that already guards cached[] and nr_pages[]. No atomics, no random calls, no extra locks needed.

2026-05-28mm/hugetlb: avoid false positive lockdep assertionLorenzo Stoakes
Commit 081056dc00a2 ("mm/hugetlb: unshare page tables during VMA split, not before") changed the locking model around hugetlbfs PMD unsharing on VMA split, but did not update the function which asserts the locks, hugetlb_vma_assert_locked(). This function asserts that either the hugetlb VMA lock is held (if a shared mapping) or that the reservation map lock is held (if private). If you get an unfortunate race between something which results in one of these locks being released and a hugetlb VMA split and you have CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled, you can therefore see a false positive assertion arise when there is in fact no issue. Since this change introduced a new take_locks parameter to hugetlb_unshare_pmds(), which, when set to false, indicates that locking is sufficient, simply pass this to the unsharing logic and predicate the lock assertions on this. This is safe, as we already asserted the file rmap lock and the VMA write lock prior to this (implying exclusive mmap write lock), so we cannot be raced by either rmap or page fault page table walkers which the asserted locks are intended to protect against (we don't mind GUP-fast). Separate out huge_pmd_unshare() into __huge_pmd_unshare() to add a check_locks parameter, and update hugetlb_unshare_pmds() to pass this parameter to it. This leaves all other callers of huge_pmd_unshare() still correctly asserting the locks. The below reproducer will trigger the assert in a kernel with CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled by racing process teardown (which will release the hugetlb lock) against a hugetlb split. void execute_one(void) { void *ptr; pid_t pid; /* * Create a hugetlb mapping spanning a PUD entry. * * We force the hugetlb page allocation with populate and * noreserve. * * |---------------------| * | | * |---------------------| * 0 PUD boundary */ ptr = mmap(0, PUD_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANON | MAP_NORESERVE | MAP_HUGETLB | MAP_POPULATE, -1, 0); if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } /* * Fork but with a bogus stack pointer so we try to execute code in * a non-VM_EXEC VMA, causing segfault + teardown via exit_mmap(). * * The clone will cause PMD page table sharing between the * processes first via: * copy_process() -> ... -> huge_pte_alloc() -> huge_pmd_share() * * Then tear down and release the hugetlb 'VMA' lock via: * exit_mmap() -> ... -> vma_close() -> hugetlb_vma_lock_free() */ pid = syscall(__NR_clone, 0, 2 * PMD_SIZE, 0, 0, 0); if (pid < 0) { perror("clone"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if (pid == 0) { /* Pop stack... */ return; } /* * We are the parent process. * * Race the child process's teardown with a PMD unshare. * * We do this by triggering: * * __split_vma() -> hugetlb_split() -> hugetlb_unshare_pmds() * * Which, importantly, doesn't hold the hugetlb VMA lock (nor can * it), meaning we assert in hugetlb_vma_assert_locked(). * * . * |----------.----------| * | . | * |----------.----------| * 0 .

Netpp page_type'ed pages might be used in mapping so as to use @_mapcount. However, since @page_type and @_mapcount are union'ed in struct page, these two can't be used at the same time. Revert the commit introducing page_type for Netpp for now. The patch will be retried once @page_type and @_mapcount get allowed to be used at the same time. The revert also includes removal of @page_type initialization part introduced by commit 735a309b4bfb9e ("net: add net_iov_init() and use it to initialize ->page_type"), which will be restored on the retry.

2026-05-21mm: memcontrol: propagate NMI slab stats to memcg vmstatsAlexandre Ghiti
flush_nmi_stats() drains per-node NMI slab atomics into the per-node lruvec_stats, but does not propagate them to the memcg-level vmstats. For non NMI case, account_slab_nmi_safe() calls mod_memcg_lruvec_state() which updates both per-node lruvec_stats and memcg-level vmstats, so flush_nmi_stats() needs to flush to per-node lruvec_stats as well as memcg-level vmstats.

2026-05-21mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: delete tried region in regions_rmdirs()SeongJae Park
DAMON sysfs maintains the DAMOS tried region directory objects via a linked list. When the user requests refresh of the directories, DAMON sysfs removes all the region directories first, and then generate updated regions directory on the empty space. The removal function (damon_sysfs_scheme_regions_rm_dirs()) only puts the kobj objects. Deletion of the container region object from the linked list is done inside the kobj release callback function. If somehow the callback invocation is delayed, the list will contain regions list that gonna be freed. If the updated region directories creation is started in this situation, the list can be corrupted and use-after-free can happen. Because the kobj objects are managed by only DAMON sysfs, the issue cannot happen in normal situation. But, such delays can be made on kernels that built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. On the kernel, the issue can indeed be reproduced like below. # damo start --damos_action stat # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0/ # for i in {1..10}; do echo update_schemes_tried_regions > state; done # dmesg | grep underflow [ 89.296152] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free. Fix the issue by removing the region object from the list when decrementing the reference count.

2026-05-21mm/rmap: initialize nr_pages to 1 at loop start in try_to_unmap_oneDev Jain
Initialize nr_pages to 1 at the start of each loop iteration, like folio_referenced_one() does. Without this, nr_pages computed by a previous folio_unmap_pte_batch() call can be reused on a later iteration that does not run folio_unmap_pte_batch() again. mmap a 64K large folio with MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_DROPPABLE, then call madvise(MADV_FREE), then make the last page device-exclusive via HMM_DMIRROR_EXCLUSIVE. Trigger node reclaim through sysfs. Now, in try_to_unmap_one(), we will first clear the first 15 out of 16 entries mapping the lazyfree folio. This will set nr_pages to 15. In the next pvmw walk, this nr_pages gets reused on a device-exclusive pte, thus potentially corrupting folio refcount/mapcount. At the moment, I have a userspace program which can make the kernel spit out a trace, but the blow up is in folio_referenced_one(), because there are existing bugs in the interaction between device-private and rmap (which too I am investigating). I did a one liner kernel change to avoid going into folio_referenced_one(), and the kernel blows up at folio_remove_rmap_ptes in try_to_unmap_one which is what I wanted. Note that the bug is there not since file folio batching but lazyfree folio batching, since device-exclusive only works for anonymous folios. Userspace visible effect is simply kernel crashing somewhere due to refcount/mapcount corruption.

2026-05-21memfd: deny writeable mappings when implying SEAL_WRITEPratyush Yadav (Google)
When SEAL_EXEC is added, SEAL_WRITE is implied to make W^X. But the implied seal is set after the check that makes sure the memfd can not have any writable mappings. This means one can use SEAL_EXEC to apply SEAL_WRITE while having writeable mappings. This breaks the contract that SEAL_WRITE provides and can be used by an attacker to pass a memfd that appears to be write sealed but can still be modified arbitrarily. Fix this by adding the implied seals before the call for mapping_deny_writable() is done.

2026-05-21Revert "mm/hugetlbfs: update hugetlbfs to use mmap_prepare"Lorenzo Stoakes
This reverts commit ea52cb24cd3f ("mm/hugetlbfs: update hugetlbfs to use mmap_prepare") with conflict resolution to account for changes in commit ea52cb24cd3f ("mm/hugetlbfs: update hugetlbfs to use mmap_prepare"). The patch incorrectly handled hugetlb VMA lock allocation at the mmap_prepare stage, where a failed allocation occurring after mmap_prepare is called might result in the lock leaking. There is no risk of a merge causing a similar issues, as VMA_DONTEXPAND_BIT is set for hugetlb mappings. As a first step in addressing this issue, simply revert the change so we can rework how we do this having corrected the underlying issues. We maintain the VMA flags changes as best we can, accounting for the fact that we were working with a VMA descriptor previously and propagating like-for-like changes for this. Note that we invoke vma_set_flags() and do not call vma_start_write() as vm_flags_set() does. This is OK as it's being done in an .mmap hook where the VMA is not yet linked into the tree so nobody else can be accessing it.

2026-05-14mm/slub: hold cpus_read_lock around flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache()Qing Wang
flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache() calls queue_work_on() in a for_each_online_cpu() loop, which requires the cpu to stay online. But cpus_read_lock() is not held in kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache() and the set of "online cpus" is subject to change. There are two paths that call flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache(): // has cpus_read_lock() flush_all_rcu_sheaves() -> flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache() // no cpus_read_lock() kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache() -> flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache() Fix this by holding cpus_read_lock() in kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache(). Why not move cpus_read_lock() from flush_all_rcu_sheaves() into flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache()? The reason is it would introduce a new lock order (slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug_lock). The reverse order (cpu_hotplug_lock -> slab_mutex) is established by - cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(..., slub_cpu_setup, ...) - kmem_cache_destroy() The two orders together would form an AB-BA deadlock. Finally, add lockdep_assert_cpus_held() in flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache() to catch the same problem in the future.

2026-05-13mm/memory: fix spurious warning when unmapping device-private/exclusive pagesAlistair Popple
Device private and exclusive entries are only supported for anonymous folios. This condition is tested in __migrate_device_pages() and make_device_exclusive() using folio_test_anon(). However the unmap path tests this assumption using vma_is_anonymous(). This is wrong because whilst anonymous VMAs can only contain folios where folio_test_anon() is true the opposite relation does not hold. A folio for which folio_test_anon() is true does not imply vma_is_anonymous() is true. Such a condition can occur if for example a folio is part of a private filebacked mapping. In this case vma_is_anonymous() is false as the mapping is filebacked, but folio_test_anon() may be true, thus permitting devices to migrate the folio to device private memory. This can lead to the following spurious warnings during process teardown: [ 772.737706] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 772.739201] WARNING: mm/memory.c:1754 at unmap_page_range.cold+0x26/0x18a, CPU#17: hmm-tests/2041 [ 772.742050] Modules linked in: test_hmm nvidia_uvm(O) nvidia(O) [ 772.743959] CPU: 17 UID: 0 PID: 2041 Comm: hmm-tests Tainted: G W O 7.0.0+ #387 PREEMPT(full) [ 772.747104] Tainted: [W]=WARN, [O]=OOT_MODULE [ 772.748509] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.17.0-0-gb52ca86e094d-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 772.752117] RIP: 0010:unmap_page_range.cold+0x26/0x18a [ 772.753780] Code: 7e fe ff ff 48 89 4c 24 78 4c 89 44 24 38 e8 f2 ff b1 00 48 8b 4c 24 78 4c 8b 44 24 38 48 8b 44 24 18 48 83 78 48 00 74 04 90 <0f> 0b 90 48 89 ca b8 ff ff 37 00 48 c1 ea 03 48 c1 e0 2a 80 3c 02 [ 772.759602] RSP: 0018:ffff888112607550 EFLAGS: 00010286 [ 772.761310] RAX: ffff88811bbf4dc0 RBX: dffffc0000000000 RCX: ffffea03e9bfffd8 [ 772.763583] RDX: 1ffff1102377e9c1 RSI: 0000000000000008 RDI: ffff88811bbf4e08 [ 772.765914] RBP: 0000000000000006 R08: ffff8881059f7448 R09: ffffed10224c0e68 [ 772.768184] R10: ffff888112607347 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000001 [ 772.770461] R13: ffffea03e9bfffc0 R14: ffff888112607908 R15: ffffea03e9bfffc0 [ 772.772782] FS: 00007f327caa2780(0000) GS:ffff888427b7d000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 772.775328] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 772.777187] CR2: 00007f327ca89000 CR3: 00000001994d5000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 772.779135] Call Trace: [ 772.779792] <TASK> [ 772.780317] ? dmirror_interval_invalidate+0x1a3/0x290 [test_hmm] [ 772.781873] ? vm_normal_page_pud+0x2b0/0x2b0 [ 772.782992] ? __rwlock_init+0x150/0x150 [ 772.784006] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.785008] ? __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start+0x505/0x6e0 [ 772.786522] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.787498] ? unmap_single_vma+0xb6/0x210 [ 772.788573] unmap_vmas+0x27d/0x520 [ 772.789506] ? unmap_single_vma+0x210/0x210 [ 772.790607] ? mas_update_gap.part.0+0x620/0x620 [ 772.791834] unmap_region+0x19e/0x350 [ 772.792769] ? remove_vma+0x130/0x130 [ 772.793684] ? mas_alloc_nodes+0x1f2/0x300 [ 772.794730] vms_complete_munmap_vmas+0x8c1/0xe20 [ 772.795926] ? unmap_region+0x350/0x350 [ 772.796917] do_vmi_align_munmap+0x36a/0x4e0 [ 772.798018] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.799024] ? vma_shrink+0x620/0x620 [ 772.799983] do_vmi_munmap+0x150/0x2c0 [ 772.800939] __vm_munmap+0x161/0x2c0 [ 772.801872] ? expand_downwards+0xd60/0xd60 [ 772.802948] ? clockevents_program_event+0x1ef/0x540 [ 772.804217] ? lock_release+0x216/0x2b0 [ 772.805158] __x64_sys_munmap+0x59/0x80 [ 772.805776] do_syscall_64+0xfc/0x670 [ 772.806336] ? irqentry_exit+0xda/0x580 [ 772.806976] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 [ 772.807772] RIP: 0033:0x7f327cbb2717 [ 772.808323] Code: 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d f9 76 0d 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 83 c8 ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 b8 0b 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d c9 76 0d 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 [ 772.811337] RSP: 002b:00007ffde7f57d38 EFLAGS: 00000202 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000000b [ 772.812564] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007f327cc9c000 RCX: 00007f327cbb2717 [ 772.813733] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000400000 RDI: 00007f327c289000 [ 772.814867] RBP: 0000000000421360 R08: 000000000000001a R09: 0000000000000000 [ 772.815991] R10: 0000000000000003 R11: 0000000000000202 R12: 00007ffde7f57d74 [ 772.817121] R13: 00007f327c689010 R14: 0000000000100000 R15: 00007f327c289000 [ 772.818272] </TASK> [ 772.818614] irq event stamp: 0 [ 772.819159] hardirqs last enabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 [ 772.820174] hardirqs last disabled at (0): [<ffffffff82a57ab3>] copy_process+0x19f3/0x6440 [ 772.821511] softirqs last enabled at (0): [<ffffffff82a57b00>] copy_process+0x1a40/0x6440 [ 772.822869] softirqs last disabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 [ 772.823871] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Fix this by using the same check for folio_test_anon() in zap_nonpresent_ptes().

2026-05-13mm: fix __vm_normal_page() to handle missing support for ↵David Hildenbrand (Arm)
pmd_special()/pud_special() On x86 32-bit with THP enabled, zap_huge_pmd() is seen to generate a "WARNING: mm/memory.c:735 at __vm_normal_page+0x6a/0x7d", from the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(is_zero_pfn(pfn) || is_huge_zero_pfn(pfn)); followed by "BUG: Bad rss-counter state"s, then later "BUG: Bad page state"s when reclaim gets to call shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan(). It's as if the _PAGE_SPECIAL bit never got set in the huge_zero pmd: and indeed, whereas pte_special() and pte_mkspecial() are subject to a dedicated CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL, pmd_special() and pmd_mkspecial() are subject to CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP, which is never enabled on any 32-bit architecture. While the problem was exposed through commit d80a9cb1a64a ("mm/huge_memory: add and use normal_or_softleaf_folio_pmd()"), it was an oversight in commit af38538801c6 ("mm/memory: factor out common code from vm_normal_page_*()") and would result in other problems: * huge zero folio accounted in smaps, pagemap (PAGE_IS_FILE) and numamaps as file-backed THP * folio_walk_start() returning the folio even without FW_ZEROPAGE set. Callers seem to tolerate that, though. ... and triggering the VM_WARN_ON_ONE(), although never reported so far. To fix it, teach vm_normal_page_pmd()/vm_normal_page_pud() to consider whether pmd_special/pud_special is actually implemented.

2026-05-13mm/memory_hotplug: fix memory block reference leak on removeMuchun Song
Patch series "mm: Fix memory block leaks and locking", v2. This series fixes two memory block device reference leaks and one locking issue around the per-memory_block hwpoison counter. This patch (of 2): remove_memory_blocks_and_altmaps() looks up each memory block with find_memory_block(), which acquires a reference to the memory block device. That reference is never dropped on this path, resulting in a leaked device reference when removing memory blocks and their altmaps. Drop the reference after retrieving mem->altmap and clearing mem->altmap, before removing the memory block device.

2026-05-13mm/page_alloc: fix initialization of tags of the huge zero folio with ↵David Hildenbrand (Arm)
init_on_free __GFP_ZEROTAGS semantics are currently a bit weird, but effectively this flag is only ever set alongside __GFP_ZERO and __GFP_SKIP_KASAN. If we run with init_on_free, we will zero out pages during __free_pages_prepare(), to skip zeroing on the allocation path. However, when allocating with __GFP_ZEROTAG set, post_alloc_hook() will consequently not only skip clearing page content, but also skip clearing tag memory. Not clearing tags through __GFP_ZEROTAGS is irrelevant for most pages that will get mapped to user space through set_pte_at() later: set_pte_at() and friends will detect that the tags have not been initialized yet (PG_mte_tagged not set), and initialize them. However, for the huge zero folio, which will be mapped through a PMD marked as special, this initialization will not be performed, ending up exposing whatever tags were still set for the pages. The docs (Documentation/arch/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst) state that allocation tags are set to 0 when a page is first mapped to user space. That no longer holds with the huge zero folio when init_on_free is enabled. Fix it by decoupling __GFP_ZEROTAGS from __GFP_ZERO, passing to tag_clear_highpages() whether we want to also clear page content. Invert the meaning of the tag_clear_highpages() return value to have clearer semantics. Reproduced with the huge zero folio by modifying the check_buffer_fill arm64/mte selftest to use a 2 MiB area, after making sure that pages have a non-0 tag set when freeing (note that, during boot, we will not actually initialize tags, but only set KASAN_TAG_KERNEL in the page flags). $ ./check_buffer_fill 1..20 ... not ok 17 Check initial tags with private mapping, sync error mode and mmap memory not ok 18 Check initial tags with private mapping, sync error mode and mmap/mprotect memory ... This code needs more cleanups; we'll tackle that next, like decoupling __GFP_ZEROTAGS from __GFP_SKIP_KASAN.

2026-05-13mm/migrate_device: fix spinlock leak in migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_pageSunny Patel
When check_stable_address_space() fails after the PMD spinlock has been acquired via pmd_lock(), the code jumps directly to the abort label, bypassing the spin_unlock() call in unlock_abort. This causes the PMD spinlock to be permanently held, leading to a deadlock. Change the goto target from abort to unlock_abort to ensure the spinlock is always released on this error path.

2026-05-05mm/slab: Add kvfree_atomic() helperUladzislau Rezki (Sony)
kvmalloc() now supports non-sleeping GFP flags, including the vmalloc fallback path. This means it may return vmalloc memory even for GFP_ATOMIC and GFP_NOWAIT allocations. Freeing such memory with kvfree() may then end up calling vfree(), which is not safe for non-sleeping contexts. Introduce kvfree_atomic() helper for such cases. It mirrors kvfree(), but uses vfree_atomic() for vmalloced memory.

Move the Seals entry to the "Preserved Properties" section and describe the actual behavior, including the MEMFD_LUO_ALL_SEALS restriction that both preserve and retrieve enforce.

2026-05-04mm/memfd_luo: reject memfds whose page count exceeds UINT_MAXDavid Carlier
memfd_luo_preserve_folios() declares max_folios as unsigned int and computes it from the inode size, then passes it to memfd_pin_folios() which itself caps max_folios at unsigned int. For files whose base-page count exceeds UINT_MAX (larger than 16 TiB with 4 KiB pages), the assignment truncates silently: only a prefix of the file gets pinned and preserved, while memfd_luo_preserve() still records the full inode size in ser->size. On retrieve the inode is restored to the full size but only the preserved prefix repopulates the page cache, so the tail comes back as holes and user data is silently lost across the live update. Reject such files at preserve time with -EFBIG rather than chunk the pin loop, which would also require enlarging the preserved folios array well beyond what is practical.

2026-04-30mm: memcontrol: fix rcu unbalance in get_non_dying_memcg_end()Qi Zheng
Currently, get_non_dying_memcg_start() and get_non_dying_memcg_end() both evaluate cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys) independently to determine whether to acquire or release the RCU read lock. However, the result of cgroup_subsys_on_dfl() can change dynamically at runtime due to cgroup hierarchy rebinding (e.g., when the memory controller is moved between cgroup v1 and v2 hierarchies). This can cause the following warning: ===================================== WARNING: bad unlock balance detected! 7.0.0-next-20260420+ #83 Tainted: G W ------------------------------------- memcg-repro/270 is trying to release lock (rcu_read_lock) at: [<ffffffff815f57f7>] rcu_read_unlock+0x17/0x60 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by memcg-repro/270: #0: ffff888102fa2088 (vm_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: do_user_addr_fault+0x285/0x880 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 270 Comm: memcg-repro Tainted: G W 7.0.0-next-20260420+ # Tainted: [W]=WARN Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> ? rcu_read_unlock+0x17/0x60 dump_stack_lvl+0x77/0xb0 print_unlock_imbalance_bug+0xe0/0xf0 ? rcu_read_unlock+0x17/0x60 lock_release+0x21d/0x2a0 rcu_read_unlock+0x1c/0x60 do_pte_missing+0x233/0xb40 __handle_mm_fault+0x80e/0xcd0 handle_mm_fault+0x146/0x310 do_user_addr_fault+0x303/0x880 exc_page_fault+0x9b/0x270 asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30 RIP: 0033:0x5590e4eb41ea Code: 61 cc 66 0f 6f e0 66 0f 61 c2 66 0f db cd 66 0f 69 e2 66 0f 6f d0 66 0f 69 d4 66 0f 61 0 RSP: 002b:00007ffcad25f030 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 00005590e4eb8010 RBX: 00007ffcad260f7d RCX: 00007f73c474d44d RDX: 00005590e4eb80a0 RSI: 00005590e4eb503c RDI: 000000000000000f RBP: 00005590e4eb70a0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 00007f73c483a680 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 00007ffcad25f180 R14: 00005590e4eb6dd8 R15: 00007f73c4869020 </TASK> ------------[ cut here ]------------ Fix this by explicitly tracking the RCU lock state, ensuring that rcu_read_unlock() in get_non_dying_memcg_end() is strictly paired with the lock acquisition, regardless of any runtime rebinding events.
