17 hoursmodule: rename module_blacklist to module_denylistAaron Tomlin
To preserve the existing user-space ABI, "module_blacklist=" is kept as a legacy alias pointing to the same module_denylist variable. This patch addresses the documentation by marking "module_blacklist=" as deprecated in admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, and documents the new "module_denylist=" parameter. All internal symbols, such as module_is_blacklisted(), have been renamed to use "denylist" and all log messages now use "denylisted".

17 hourshung_task: reset warning budget when problem gets resolvedAaron Tomlin
Patch series "hung_task: Improve warning budget handling and task reporting", v10. The hung_task watchdog detects tasks stuck in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE (D) state for longer than CONFIG_DEFAULT_HUNG_TASK_TIMEOUT seconds. To prevent log spam during system spikes, sysctl_hung_task_warnings enforces a budget on the number of logged warnings. However, the current implementation has two major limitations: 1. Permanent exhaustion of warning budget sysctl_hung_task_warnings is decremented directly when printing warnings. Once this budget hits zero, no further warnings are reported until an administrator manually updates the sysctl value or reboots the system. Consequently, a single temporary hang episode permanently blinds the kernel watchdog to any subsequent hung tasks after system recovery. 2. Total log suppression when budget is exhausted Once the warning budget reaches zero, hung_task_info() completely suppresses all output, including the basic single-line alert. While suppressing verbose stack dumps and lock debugging is desirable to prevent dmesg flooding, hiding basic task alerts leaves administrators entirely unaware that tasks are hanging. This patch series resolves both limitations by decoupling the configured warning limit from the active runtime budget, automatically resetting the budget upon system recovery or sysctl updates, and emitting a single aggregate summary line when hung tasks are detected under an exhausted warning budget. Patch 1 separates the configured sysctl hung_task_warnings from the runtime budget, making khungtaskd the sole owner of runtime budget updates. The budget is reloaded directly when a scan finds zero hung tasks, or via an atomic reset request published on sysctl write. Patch 2 prevents dmesg flooding during system-wide hangs by keeping non-panic per-task stack dumps budgeted, while providing ongoing visibility by logging a single aggregate summary line at the end of each scan iteration when the warning budget is exhausted. This patch (of 2): The sysctl hung_task_warnings currently holds both the configured warning limit and the remaining budget. Each detailed report decrements the sysctl, so once it reaches zero, the configured limit is lost and cannot be restored automatically. Keep sysctl_hung_task_warnings as the configured warning limit and make khungtaskd the sole owner of the remaining budget. A check that finds no hung tasks reloads the budget directly from the configured limit. A successful sysctl write publishes an atomic reset request, which khungtaskd consumes at the start of the next check.

17 hoursdocs: cgroup: document empty-write behavior of memory limit knobsTao Cui
A maintenance script on a cluster wrote an unset variable into memory.max of a workload cgroup; the variable expanded to an empty string, the write succeeded, and the workload in the cgroup was OOM-killed. Nothing pointed back at the write, so it took quite some time to trace the OOM kills to that script. The memory controller documentation does not say what an empty write does; the cpuset controller documents its empty-value semantics. The actual behavior is that the empty string is accepted as 0. Reproduced on a k8s cluster (v1.29, cgroup v2, two-container pod, 384M limit): # LIMIT= # echo "$LIMIT" > $CG/memory.max # echo $? 0 m6demo 0/2 OOMKilled 0 Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 339529 (sleep) ... anon-rss:32kB State it where the interface files are introduced, alongside the existing notes on units and page rounding.

17 hoursmm/ksm: fix advisor_min_pages_to_scan descriptionJinjiang Tu
Both Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst and the comment next to the variable definition in mm/ksm.c describe advisor_min_pages_to_scan as a lower limit of the pages_to_scan parameter, but that is not how the scan-time advisor actually uses it. commit 4e5fa4f5eff6 ("mm/ksm: add ksm advisor") only uses it to initialize ksm_thread_pages_to_scan when the scan-time advisor is enabled. ksm_thread_pages_to_scan is adjusted by scan_time_advisor() after a full scan finishes. ksm_thread_pages_to_scan could be increased or decreased depend on the real scan time is longer or shorter than the target scan time. The min value of ksm_thread_pages_to_scan is only limited by KSM_ADVISOR_MIN_CPU, so ksm_thread_pages_to_scan could be smaller than ksm_advisor_min_pages_to_scan. The semantics of advisor_min_pages_to_scan was updated in the v2 patchset [1], but the documentation wasn't updated. Update the documentation and comment to match the semantics of advisor_min_pages_to_scan.

5 daysneighbour: Namespacify neigh_tables.Kuniyuki Iwashima
Now, neigh_table is ready to be namespacified. Let's allocate per-netns neigh_table in neigh_table_register() and call neigh_table_init() and neigh_sysctl_register() for it. proc_create_seq_data() is changed to proc_create_net_data(). Since each netns has its own sysctl knobs, RTM_SETNEIGHTBL can configure the default table param (ifindex==0) and GC parameters per netns. To avoid potential regression, all the default parameters under /proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6}/neigh/default/, are inherited from init_net by default. This behaviour is controlled by a new sysctl knob, net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net: # sysctl net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net = 1 # sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 128 # sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1=129 net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 129 # unshare -n sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 129 If it is turned off, all settings are reset in the new netns: # sysctl net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net=0 net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net = 0 # unshare -n sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 128 The next patch will remove other unnecessary net_eq().

8 daysmemcg: make the v1 soft limit knob inertShakeel Butt
The v1 soft limit has been deprecated since v6.12 and nobody has reported depending on it. Start the removal by decoupling the interface from the implementation: keep memory.soft_limit_in_bytes, but ignore writes to it and always report the maximum value on read similar to what memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes already does. Writes are still parsed, so malformed input keeps returning -EINVAL. The knob now also behaves the same everywhere: it used to return -EOPNOTSUPP on PREEMPT_RT, where soft limit reclaim has always been disabled. This also fixes the syzbot report linked below. Soft limit reclaim is the only caller that runs shrink_lruvec() from kswapd against a specific memcg, so it is the only way to reach lru_gen_shrink_lruvec() and in turn set_mm_walk(), which warns when called from kswapd.

11 daysbpf: Refuse caller-supplied keyrings when the bpf one is activeDaniel Borkmann
Nothing changes for systems that do not use the bpf keyring. Without bpf.keyring_unsealed=1 a caller-supplied keyring behaves exactly as before, which also lets it serve as the staging step for software installed onto a running system whose signing key is not enrolled anywhere yet. Passing bpf.keyring_unsealed=1 states that the bpf keyring is the trust anchor for this boot, so from the first program load onwards a caller- supplied keyring is refused with -EPERM. Deriving this from the boot flag rather than from the keyring's runtime state keeps the decision immutable from userspace.

11 daysbpf, keys: Add a bpf keyring for program signature validationDaniel Borkmann
BPF program signatures can currently be verified against one of the system keyrings (builtin, secondary, platform) or against an arbitrary user/session caller-supplied keyring named through keyring_id. There is nothing in between: the system keyrings need a kernel rebuild or a vouched-for enrollment to rotate a key, while a caller-supplied keyring is fully controlled by the loader and therefore carries no trust on its own (unless explicitly combined with BPF LSM to protect against key tampering). Add a dedicated bpf keyring to fill that gap, modelled after the dm-verity keyring which was added in commit 033724b1c627 ("dm-verity: add dm-verity keyring") and which can eventually be used also via systemd [0] through the same enrollment method as in dm-verity's case. It is selected with the new KEY_SPEC_BPF_KEYRING special key id and gives an operator a place to enroll a BPF-only signing key at boot, specifically scoped to BPF program loading and nothing else in the kernel's trust hierarchy. The id is reserved from the KEY_SPEC space so that the latter is not linked into any process keyring, and lookup_user_key() resolves KEY_SPEC_BPF_KEYRING constant instead of having to look it up via /proc/keys first. By default the keyring is sealed empty at init. Systems that want to provision keys pass bpf.keyring_unsealed=1, which leaves the keyring open for the initrd to add keys to. The keyring is only ever consulted once it is both non-empty and restricted. An unrestricted keyring is ignored.

Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over 60% without impacting scan throughput. - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky) Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review. - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's memcg" (Zi Yan) Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray node memory accounting. - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick) Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests. - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function. - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin Huang) Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to reinitialization. - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia) Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in writeback_store() and read_block_state(). - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang) Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged. - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions" (Muhammad Usama Anjum) Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding retry logic for transient page migration errors. - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia) Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved writeback efficiency. - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren Baghdasaryan) Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter aggregation. This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation data to userspace. - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5" (Christoph Hellwig) Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving faster swap throughput during kernel builds. - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks" (Catalin Marinas) Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter. - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels" (Breno Leitao) Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second confirming scan. - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig) Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly export their own swap_ops. - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache) khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal documentation. - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett) Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity. Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-26-15-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (172 commits) selftests/proc: make proc-maps-race work with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC memcg: move LRU size accounting on reparenting instead of copying it mm/vmscan: fix comment logic in balance_pgdat maple_tree: add helper mas_make_walkable() maple_tree: avoid extra gap calculation maple_tree: fix argument name in header maple_tree: change two GFP flags in tests maple_tree: document erase and allocations better maple_tree: avoid mas_erase() and mtree_erase() failures maple_tree: document that erase may use GFP_KERNEL for allocations maple_tree: catch race in mas_alloc_cyclic() maple_tree: add bulk parent set helper maple_tree: micro optimisation of mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: optimise mas_wr_node_store() when not in rcu mode maple_tree: use prefetched value in mas_wr_store_type() maple_tree: clarify comments on mas_nomem() maple_tree: drop MAPLE_ALLOC_SLOTS maple_tree: drop dead code from mas_extend_spanning_null() maple_tree: documentation fix maple_tree: add write lock checking with lockdep sequence numbers ...

Always use the same page table walker kvm->arch.gva_walk as the entry point to convert a guest's virtual address, where the previous code used two different kvm_mmu structs depending on whether the walk included nested EPT/NPT or not. Make page fault vmexits reuse the permission checking machinery that is used for guest page faults. This is both a cleanup and a baby step towards supporting XS/XU memory permissions - Document some of the "fun" gotchas with the APIC base when creating IRQCHIPs on x86 - Remove a defunct masterclock update from kvm_xen_shared_info_init(). It could result in incorrect kvmclock due to triggering an unnecessary switch to/from masterclock mode - Skip Xen runstate time updates if time has effectively gone backwards, so that the guest doesn't report 100% steal time for a very, very long time - Drop KVM's runtime updates of the Xen PV timing CPUID leaf, as KVM was updating the wrong sub-leaf, and upstream KVM will soon provide all the information needed by userspace to populate the CPUID field itself - Fix a bug where KVM would walk a newly created rmap without holding the rmap lock (or mmu_lock) during aging - Fix a bug where aging TDP MMU SPTEs could clobber FROZEN SPTEs - Fix a variety of #DB priority bugs - Fix a class of races related to enabling Hyper-V emulation on a vCPU after the vCPU is visible to the rest of KVM - Use static calls for nested virtualization ops - Move more KVM-internal code out of x86's kvm_host.h - Enumerate support for a variety of Zhaoxin instructions that don't require explicit virtualization - Fix missing EFER validation bugs, including in the KVM_SET_SREGS* path - Harden kvm_vcpu_map() against double-mapping and thus leaking references - Misc fixes and cleanups, e.g. for largely benign syzkaller splats x86 (Intel): - Zero a vCPU's entry in VMX's Posted Interrupt Descriptor table used for IPI virtualization when the vCPU is freed, to fix a use-after-free where hardware will write to a freed vCPU's PID - Service local TLB flushes on a failed nested VM-Enter to fix a bug where KVM could miss a TLB on a future, successful VM-Enter with the same L2 VPID - Cap the maximum value shoved into the VMX Preemption Timer to workaround an erratum that affects all existing Intel CPUs that support CPUID 0x15 - Fix VPID virtualization bugs where KVM would fail to flush hardware TLBs - Harden the TDX "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion x86 (AMD): - Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA pages if their backing guest_memfd page is zapped/invalidated, e.g. due to a PUNCH_HOLE in response to a Page-State Change request - Remove a dying VM from the GA Log notifier list before the VM is actually destroyed, to fix a potential use-after-free - While FOLL_WRITE was needed in the past to trigger CoW unsharing, nowadays FOLL_LONGTERM does that already even without FOLL_WRITE, and in fact, get_user_pages() actually disallows FOLL_WRITE together with FOLL_LONGTERM. So don't pass FOLL_WRITE when registering encrypted memory regions, i.e. when pinning SEV/SEV-ES guest memory, to fix a regression with file-backed memory introduced by KVM's (correct) usage of long-term pins (This was reviewed by mm maintainers; for more information, see commit ee1a586dd1fa "KVM: SEV: Drop FOLL_WRITE for encrypted region registration") - Allocate full pages for SEV/SEV-ES {DE,EN}CRYPT ops on SNP-enabled hosts to fix a data corruption issue due to the PSP driver assigning to-be-written pages to firmware (as required by the SNP specs) - Unconditionally intercept ICBEP so that KVM generates the correct guest RIP when handling an ICEBP-induced TASK_SWITCH #VMEXIT - Harden the SNP "populate" ioctls against bad input, and to prepare for supporting in-place private<=>shared conversion Generic: - Remove kvm_debugfs_dir if kvm_init() fails after creating KVM's debugfs - Add a per-VM bitmap to track which vCPU IDs have been "claimed" but for which the vCPU isn't yet online, and use the bitmap to reject duplicate IDs before calling into arch code. This allows arch code to consume vcpu_id without having to worry about cross-vCPU clobbering (at least s390 and x86 have had related bugs) - Rework the so called "prepare" and "invalidate" guest_memfd hooks to prepare for in-place private<=>shared conversion, and clean up a few warts along the way Selftests: - Automatically allocate a full page for L2 guest stacks on x86 instead of requiring test-specific L1 guest code to carve out a portion of the L1 stack for L2 usage, and to ensure the L2 stack also adheres to the x86-64 calling convention ABI - Add a selftest to verify {Guest,Host}-Only behavior in x86's mediated PMU - Clean up nested SVM's handling of GPRs on L2<=>L1 transitions, reuse the functionality for nested VMX, and drop the ucall hack that was fudging around the lack of GPR switching on nVMX - Add a stress test to verify KVM doesn't clobber/drop #PF state, e.g. CR2, across save/restore, including when L2 is active - Add a test to verify KVM_CREATE_VM accepts exactly what is reported by KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES - Misc selftests fixes and cleanups - Fix several issues with seeding the pRNG, and rework the pRNG APIs to that the pRNG can be sanely used in host code, not just guest code - Add an IRQ test to validate virtual IRQ deliverty for IRQs wired up via KVM_IRQFD + KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, with optional support for triggering IRQs via writes to an assigned VFIO device - Add syscall wrappers to assert success on a variety of pthreads and CPU affinity APIs - Set vCPU pthread affinity as early as possible to reduce contention issues that were surfaced by PREEMPT_LAZY, which result in runtimes of over a minute on large hosts, versus the expected ~5 seconds - Rework the PMU counters test to run each testcase using a single VM with many vCPUs for each sub-testcase, instead of using a unique VM for each sub-testcase.

2026-08-24mm/hugetlb_cma: support percentage-based hugetlb_cma reservationSourav Panda
Currently, hugetlb_cma reservation only supports absolute sizes (e.g., hugetlb_cma=2G or hugetlb_cma=0:1G,1:1G). This can be restrictive in heterogeneous environments or when deploying common kernel command lines across machines with different memory capacities. Add support for percentage-based hugetlb_cma reservation (e.g., hugetlb_cma=20% or hugetlb_cma=0:20%,1:10%). The percentage is calculated against the total memory (for global settings) or against the node-specific memory (for node-specific settings) using memblock APIs during early boot.

2026-08-24mm/page_reporting: add page_reporting_delay_ms module parameterPratyush Mallick
Free page reporting currently hardcodes a 2-second interval between reports. This rigid delay cannot accommodate diverse guest workloads. This patch introduces a module parameter, page_reporting_delay_ms (default: 2000), allowing users to tune the reporting rate: - Lower values enable aggressive memory reclamation by returning unused pages to the host immediately. - Higher values help batch pages during spiky allocation/free churn, reducing hypercalls and nested page fault overheads. Setting the delay to 0 is safe and execution is strictly gated by: - reporting is only triggered by high-order page frees. - expensive hypercalls are bounded by a slot capacity watermark check before proceeding.

2026-08-24docs: panic: Disclaimer about console verbosity when using panic_print with ↵Guilherme G. Piccoli
pstore Users of panic_print / panic_sys_info are usually aware of the potentially huge amount of information displayed with such options - their goal by using them is indeed to dump more information during panic! What might come unnoticed at first is the impact that the console_verbose() call on panic path has, specially in cases that users rely on pstore as a means to collect the panic logs. Recent experience shows that dumping all tasks in an ARM64 system (with qcom_geni tty driver) gets a 2 minute delay on panic time due to writing such information to console. But in that case, pstore was used, so there was no need for console printing, and suppressing that reduced the full time to less than 0.5 second. The option "printk.console_no_auto_verbose" aims exactly at this use case: avoid automatically increasing the loglevel during panic path. So, let's officially document this to avoid users wasting their time either on long panic printing or debugging the panic delays. While at it, improve the readability of the panic_print text, by adding some line breaks.

"mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits" (SJ Park) Integrate DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter into the pseudo moving sum infrastructure, enabling real-time, online monitoring without waiting for full aggregation intervals - "mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs" (Brendan Jackman) Simplify and refactor the page allocator entry points and flags by unifying allocation paths, adding internal alloc_flags arguments, and eliminating redundant __ prefixed alloc_pages variants. - "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries" (Dev Jain) Enforce the consistent use of huge_ptep_get() instead of ptep_get() for HugeTLB entries and fixes an unaligned address issue in arm64's huge_ptep_get() implementation - "mm/damon: validate all parameters in the core" (SJ Park) Consolidate parameter validation into the DAMON core specifically within damon_start() and damon_commit_ctx() to centralize error checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve maintenance efficiency - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and cleanup issues" (Yichong Chen) Rename is_need() to filter_record() for clearer return semantics, fix per-record allocation memory leaks and bound output copies in search_pattern() to address an existing buffer issue - "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" (Jiayuan Chen) Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim - "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno Leitao) Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed, silent data corruption - "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 ...

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: - CB_NOTIFY support for NFSD's NFSv4.1 directory delegations The server used to recall a delegation as soon as the directory changed. NFSD now watches delegated directories through fsnotify and reports adds, removes, renames, and directory attribute changes, carrying the filehandle and attributes of the affected entry, so clients can keep their caches. Some of the NOTIFY4 flags come from RFC 8881bis (Jeff Layton) - Continued netlink work A new server-stats-get operation reports what /proc/net/rpc/nfsd publishes, plus NFSv4 callback counts, and SUNRPC now keeps its per-procedure call counts per network namespace, so a container sees its own numbers. nfsstat reads all of this over netlink, with a procfs fallback for older kernels (Jeff Layton) - Remove SUNRPC service thread pool mode selection Per node is the right choice on any host we run today, so the auto, global, and percpu modes have been removed. A single-node host still gets one pool. A multi-NUMA host now gets a pool per node. sunrpc.pool_mode accepts the old names but no longer selects anything. - Bug fixes, clean-ups, and small optimizations: - async COPY offload rework (Jeff Layton) - more use-after-free fixes in the NFSv4 state revocation paths - percpu counter contention removed from the reply cache and IO accounting - a long list of hardening fixes (Chris Mason) Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.3 NFSD development cycle. * tag 'nfsd-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (182 commits) nfsd: export NFSv4 callback op stats via netlink nfsd: count NFSv4 callback operations per netns sunrpc: remove unused svc_version vs_count field nfsd: implement server-stats-get netlink handler sunrpc: use per-net counts in svc_seq_show() sunrpc: add per-netns per-procedure call counts to svc_stat NFSD: Document reply_cache_stats ABI NFSD: Eliminate percpu counter contention in IO byte accounting NFSD: Eliminate percpu counter contention in reply cache statistics NFSD: Eliminate percpu counter contention in DRC memory accounting NFSD: Fix off-by-one in DRC bucket pruning limit NFSD: Relocate NFSv4 "supported attributes" to new header NFSD: Relocate nfsd4_set_netaddr() NFSD: Relocate nfsd_user_namespace() NFSD: Move struct readdir_cd NFSD: Move the export.h include from nfsd.h to auth.c NFSD: Remove '#include "nfsd.h"' from fs/nfsd/cache.h NFSD: include "netns.h" NFSD: Explicitly include "stats.h" NFSD: Make "stats.h" self-contained ...
