10 daysmm/huge_memory: transfer the pmd dirty bit to the folio on zapUsama Arif
zap_huge_pmd_folio() propagates the pmd young bit to the folio for the file case, but not the dirty bit. The pte path does propagate it, in zap_present_folio_ptes() and so does the pmd split path, in __split_huge_pmd_locked(). For most file mappings the omission is harmless, because writing to a shared file mapping goes through page_mkwrite(), which dirties the folio. tmpfs is different: it has no page_mkwrite(), and vma_wants_writenotify() is false for it, so a *read* fault on a MAP_SHARED tmpfs mapping installs a writable pmd via do_read_fault(). do_read_fault() does not call fault_dirty_shared_page(), so subsequent stores through that mapping set only the hardware dirty bit in the pmd and never call folio_mark_dirty(). A shmem folio allocated by a fault is marked uptodate but not dirty (see the clear: block in shmem_get_folio_gfp()), so PG_dirty is never set at all. Unmapping such a folio - munmap(), or exit_mmap() when the process dies - then loses the only record that it was written, because zap_huge_pmd() drops the pmd without transferring the dirty bit. Reclaim afterwards sees a clean shmem folio: the whole swap-out block in shrink_folio_list() is inside "if (folio_test_dirty(folio))", so pageout() is skipped and the folio falls into __remove_mapping(). There, folio_is_file_lru() is false for a swapbacked folio, so no shadow entry is created and __filemap_remove_folio(folio, NULL) simply empties the i_pages slot. The data is freed without ever being written to swap, and the next fault on that index returns a freshly zeroed folio. This is silent data loss for any process that keeps state in a MAP_SHARED tmpfs segment across an unmap - for example a cache handed from one process generation to the next through /dev/shm. It requires the folio to be PMD-mapped, so it only shows up once shmem THP is enabled (which is what we did in Meta fleet and started noticing crashes); with THP off the pte path transfers the dirty bit correctly. It also only becomes visible when swap is enabled, because with no swap device shmem folios (which are on the anon LRU) are not scanned by reclaim at all, so the clean folio is never dropped. Reproduced on x86_64 with a tmpfs mounted huge=within_size: read-fault a 2MB-backed region, write a known pattern through the resulting mapping, munmap, force reclaim of the cgroup, then re-map and read back. Without this patch the region reads back as zeros and vmstat shows zswpout 0 - the data was discarded rather than swapped. With this patch the region reads back correctly and the pages are swapped out as expected. With huge=never, or when the first touch is a write, the test passes either way.

2026-08-24mm/huge_memory: use folio's memcg inside __folio_split()Zi Yan
Patch series "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's memcg", v3. __GFP_ACCOUNT is needed for xarray node allocation accounting when XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT is set. Commit 7b785645e8f13 ("mm: fix page cache convergence regression") fixed a workingset regression with it. xas_split_alloc() does not have it and needs to be fixed. In addition, based on Sashiko's review[1] and Johannes' confirmation[2], to charge the right memcg, folio's memcg needs to be active during folio split. Add that before adding __GFP_ACCOUNT. There is no workingset convergence regression related to missing __GFP_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and the impact to userspace should be minor. This patch (of 2): During a pagecache folio split, an xarray node allocation can happen and needs to charge at folio's memcg instead of folio split invoker's memcg, because for example folio split can happen during reclaim and reclaim's active memcg might not be folio's memcg. Switch to folio's memcg at the beginning and switch back afterwards.

2026-08-24mm/rmap: use anon pgoff to track MAP_PRIVATE file-backed anon foliosLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
Currently anonymous folios belonging to CoW'd MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings are indexed by their page offset within the file in which they were originally mapped. This differs from anonymous folios belonging to pure anon mappings which are indexed by their anonymous page offset (the address at which they'd belong in the VMA when first faulted). This change fixes this inconsistency, always indexing anonymous folios by their anonymous page offset regardless of the VMA to which they belong. The foundations have been laid such that we need only switch this functionality on such by: * Using linear_anon_page_index() in __folio_set_anon() to assign the folio's index to the anonymous linear index rather than the file-backed one. * Otherwise using linear_anon_page_index() in all instances where anonymous folios are being referenced or manipulated. * Replacing vma_address() with vma_filebacked_address() or vma_anon_address() as appropriate. * Updating the merging logic to check that anonymous page offsets are aligned as well as filebacked ones for MAP_PRIVATE file-backed VMAs, introducing needs_adjacent_anon_pgoff() to figure out when this is required. * Updating linear_folio_page_index() to invoke linear_anon_page_index() if the folio is anonymous. * Updating vma_address_end() to use the VMA's anonymous page offset when pvmw->pgoff is anonymous. * Correcting folio_within_range() to use anonymous page offset for anonymous folios. This will have no impact on merging of anonymous VMAs, whose page offset and anonymous page offset are identical, nor will it impact shared file-backed VMAs, which will continue to be merged based on the file-backed page offset. However, MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings must now be aligned on anonymous page offset as well. In most instances this should have no impact on merging of file-backed mappings, which are usually not merged all that often, let alone MAP_PRIVATE mapped ones, and rarely remapped and faulted before being moved back in place (the case in which a merge may now fail). One subtle impact of this change is in NUMA interleaving - since commit 88c91dc58582 ("mempolicy: migration attempt to match interleave nodes"), migration heuristically tries to maintain interleaving behaviour matching the policy using folio indices. When doing migration of CoW'd MAP_PRIVATE-file backed ranges, the 'base' upon which the interleaving behaviour is performed will vary for these ranges. However the commit notes that ranges spanning multiple VMAs will already cause varying bases, and that this is an acceptable approximation. It is very unlikely real world use-cases will be impacted by this (MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings are already an edge case), and all that will happen is that such ranges will cause interleaving to be rotated over the CoW'd range, with little to no impact. This commit lays the foundations for future scalable CoW work which needs to track some remaps, meaning that most remap tracking can be avoided, and in nearly all cases the anonymous page offset will be able to be used to quickly find the VMA in an mm. Note that the need_rmap_locks check doesn't need to be updated, as any remapping will offset both the anonymous and file-backed page offset, so it suffices to check only one.

2026-08-24mm: provide vma_[flags_]is_cow_mapping() and remove is_cow_mapping()Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
All remaining callers of is_cow_mapping() are invoking it in the form of is_cow_mapping(vma->vm_flags) or an indirected version of this. Therefore, provide a helper - vma_is_cow_mapping() to directly test the VMA. Additionally provide a new helper vma_flags_is_cow_mapping() which performs the check using the new vma_flags_t type, and share this logic between vma_is_cow_mapping() and vma_desc_is_cow_mapping(). With these changes, no callers of is_cow_mapping() remain, so remove it. Also update the userland VMA tests to reflect the change. No functional change intended.

2026-08-06mm: huge_memory: fix kobject cleanup in thpsize_create errorHongling Zeng
When kobject_init_and_add() fails, the kobject API requires calling kobject_put() to properly clean up the memory, not direct kfree(). According to the kobject API documentation, kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_init() internally. If the subsequent kobject_add() fails, the kobject has still been initialized and must be cleaned up via the reference count mechanism (kobject_put), not direct kfree(). Direct kfree() leaves the kobject's internal state (including the reference count and kset membership) uncleaned, which can cause: - Memory leaks of kobject internal structures - Potential use-after-free if there are pending references - Inconsistent state with the rest of the error handling code This fix matches the pattern used elsewhere in the kernel and in the same function (err_put label) which correctly uses kobject_put().

2026-08-04mm/huge_memory: initialise workingset state before folio splitMatt Fleming
xas_try_split() adds __GFP_ACCOUNT for page-cache xa_nodes, but __folio_split() leaves the xa_state's xa_lru unset.

2026-08-04mm/huge_memory: separate out CONFIG_PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO logicLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
Rather than mixing the refcounted and non-refcounted CONFIG_PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO logic, separate the two out cleanly so it is clear what happens when this configuration option is set and what happens when it is not. Introduce HUGE_ZERO_UNSET_PFN to abstract the ~0UL assignment, only introduce the refcount, lock and shrinker if !CONFIG_PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO, abstract initialisation and teardown, abstract the huge zero folio allocation from refcounting. Also change a BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() while we're at it. No functional change intended.

2026-08-04mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn raceLorenzo Stoakes (ARM)
Patch series "mm/huge_memory: fix huge_zero_pfn race", v2. There is a subtle race in the reference-counted huge_zero_folio implementation. The fast path atomic logic fails to account for the fact that the shrinker (which drops the final huge_zero_refcount pin) can overwrite huge_zero_pfn with the ~0UL sentinel value in shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() after a racing get_huge_zero_folio() installed a valid value there. This results in huge_zero_folio being correctly set but huge_zero_pfn being set incorrectly and thus is_huge_zero_pfn() and consequently is_huge_zero_pmd() will misidentify the huge zero folio as being an ordinary THP folio. This can result in the huge zero folio being split and otherwise treated incorrectly. The solution to this is very subtle as there is an atomic fast path, and thus ordering in weakly ordered architectures has to be treated very carefully. The first commit fixes the issue by introducing a spinlock around huge_zero_[pfn, folio, refcount] write, with careful consideration paid to load/store ordering in the fast path. It is placed first and kept as small as possible so that it can be backported on its own. The second commit is a pure cleanup which reworks the CONFIG_PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO logic to better separate the persistent logic from the dynamically allocated one. This patch (of 2): If !CONFIG_PERSISTENT_HUGE_ZERO_FOLIO, the huge_zero_folio is refcounted by huge_zero_refcount and returned by mm_get_huge_zero_folio(). When the caller is done with the huge zero page, its reference count is decremented. Only a shrinker can set the reference count to zero. A race can unfortunately occur between a shrinker decrementing the reference count to zero and a concurrent page fault. This is because shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() might, if very unlucky, be preempted between setting huge_zero_refcount to zero and writing an invalid value. During this time get_huge_zero_folio() could write to huge_zero_pfn before shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() resumes. In this event the huge zero folio will be persistently misidentified causing the THP code path to be entered inappropriately for the huge zero folio: CPU 0 CPU 1 =======================================|================================= shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() | atomic_cmpxchg() sets refcount to 0 | xchg() sets huge_zero_folio to NULL | get_huge_zero_folio() | | atomic_inc_not_zero() -> zero preempted for a long time | Allocate new huge zero folio | | Write valid huge_zero_folio v | Write valid huge_zero_pfn Overwrite huge_zero_pfn with ~0UL <--- Invalid overwrite! This results in is_huge_zero_pfn() and is_huge_zero_pmd() incorrectly returning false for a huge zero page which could result in issues like the huge zero folio being incorrectly split. Note that the issue is with huge_zero_pfn not huge_zero_folio, as get_huge_zero_folio() uses cmpxchg() gated on huge_zero_folio being NULL with a retry loop and shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() uses xchg() to set huge_zero_folio. Fix the issue by introducing a spinlock, huge_zero_lock, to prevent concurrent write of huge_zero_folio, huge_zero_pfn and huge_zero_refcount. There needs to be significant care taken here to ensure correctness: The fast path in get_huge_zero_folio() uses atomic_inc_not_zero(), which is outside of the critical section, and means huge zero allocation is gated on zero huge_zero_refcount. The fast path doesn't use huge_zero_lock, so the critical section is irrelevant to it. So invariants are required - huge_zero_refcount MUST: * Only be set in the huge_zero_lock critical section to ensure serialisation of huge_zero_pfn, huge_zero_folio and huge_zero_refcount writes. * Be set non-zero only AFTER huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set to valid values so installation of the huge zero folio on read page fault ensures concurrent is_huge_zero_*() calls correctly identify the huge zero folio. * Be set zero only BEFORE huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set to NULL and ~0UL respectively, and atomically. Establish these by: * Only setting huge_zero_refcount to zero or an absolute value in the huge_zero_lock critical section in get_huge_zero_folio() and shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan(), and always updating atomically there and elsewhere. * Using atomic_set_release(&huge_zero_refcount) in get_huge_zero_folio() after huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set. This is paired with atomic_inc_not_zero() to ensure atomic_inc_not_zero() only observes a non-zero value if huge_zero_[pfn, folio] are set. * Using atomic_cmpxchg() in shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() (as before) to ensure that it is set zero only when equal to 1 and set atomically. * atomic_cmpxchg() being fully ordered ensures this is done prior to huge_zero_[folio, pfn] being set to NULL and ~0UL respectively. Eliminate the retry loop in get_huge_zero_folio() as the atomic_cmpxchg() in shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan() is now performed under the lock, and replace with an equally locked atomic_inc() to set the reference count should the caller be raced on huge zero folio installation. folio_put() naturally implies a full memory barrier so its ordering is maintained correctly. The huge zero folio also cannot be released except when the shrinker does so as it is non-LRU and non-rmappable. Note that only the huge zero shrinker (via shrink_huge_zero_folio_scan()) can actually set huge_zero_refcount to zero, which is the count of mm's which have at least one huge zero folio installed plus one shrinker pin. Additionally convert a BUG_ON() to a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE().

2026-08-04mm/huge_memory: skip device-private PMDs in madvise_free_huge_pmdUsama Arif
madvise_free_pte_range() checks pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) unlocked, then madvise_free_huge_pmd() takes pmd_trans_huge_lock(). pmd_is_huge() returns true for a device-private PMD, so orig_pmd can be device-private and enter the !pmd_present() branch. Skip device-private PMDs in that non-present branch and continue to out before calling pmd_folio(). Downgrade the check to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() so an unexpected PMD softleaf logs a warning rather than panicking. Drop the thp_migration_supported() guard: it expands to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_SOFTLEAF), and both pmd_is_migration_entry() and pmd_is_device_private_entry() already return false when that config is not selected, so the guard suppresses only the case where the warning would already be silent. Potential trigger: an HMM-based GPU driver races with madvise(MADV_FREE): migrate_vma_pages() flips the PMD to a device-private entry between the caller's pmd_trans_huge() check and the callee's pmd_trans_huge_lock().

2026-08-04mm/vma: use vma_start_pgoff(), linear_page_index() in mm codeLorenzo Stoakes
There are many instances in which linear_page_index() (as well as linear_page_delta()) is open-coded, which is confusing and inconsistent. Additionally, vma->vm_pgoff doesn't necessarily make it clear that this is the page offset of the start of the VMA range. Doing so also aids greppability. So use vma_start_pgoff() in favour of directly accessing vma->vm_pgoff, and linear_page_index() where we can. This also lays the ground for future changes which will add an anonymous page offset in order to be able to index MAP_PRIVATE-file backed anon folios in terms of their virtual page offset.

2026-08-04userfaultfd: add UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC for async fault resolutionKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
Sync RWP delivers a message and blocks the faulting thread until the handler resolves the fault. For working-set tracking the VMM does not need the message: it just needs to know, at scan time, which pages were touched. Async RWP serves that use case — the kernel restores access in-place and the faulting thread continues without blocking. The VMM reconstructs the access pattern after the fact via PAGEMAP_SCAN: pages whose uffd bit is still set (inverted PAGE_IS_ACCESSED) were not re-accessed since the last RWP cycle. Worth calling out: async resolution upgrades writable private anon PTEs via pte_mkwrite() when can_change_pte_writable() allows, mirroring do_numa_page(). Without it, every re-access of an RWP'd writable page would COW-fault a second time. UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC requires UFFD_FEATURE_RWP.

2026-08-04mm/userfaultfd: add RWP fault delivery and expose UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWPKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
Wire the fault side of read-write protection tracking and turn the userspace interface on. An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd bit set. The PROT_NONE triggers a fault on any access; the uffd bit distinguishes it from plain mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA hinting. Fault dispatch, per level: PTE handle_pte_fault() -> do_uffd_rwp() PMD __handle_mm_fault() -> do_huge_pmd_uffd_rwp() hugetlb hugetlb_fault() -> hugetlb_handle_userfault() The RWP branches gate on userfaultfd_pte_rwp() / userfaultfd_huge_pmd_rwp() (VM_UFFD_RWP plus the uffd bit) and fall through to do_numa_page() / do_huge_pmd_numa_page() otherwise. Each delivers a UFFD_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_RWP message through handle_userfault(); the handler resolves it with UFFDIO_RWPROTECT clearing MODE_RWP. userfaultfd_must_wait() and userfaultfd_huge_must_wait() add matching protnone+uffd waiters so sync-mode fault handlers block correctly. Expose the UAPI: UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP -> UFFD_API_REGISTER_MODES UFFD_FEATURE_RWP -> UFFD_API_FEATURES _UFFDIO_RWPROTECT -> UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS_BASIC UFFD_FEATURE_RWP is masked out at UFFDIO_API time when PROT_NONE is not available or VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE (32-bit), so userspace never sees an advertised-but-broken feature.

2026-08-04mm: preserve RWP marker across PTE rewritesKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
The uffd PTE bit must survive any kernel path that rewrites a PTE on a VM_UFFD_RWP VMA, otherwise the marker that carries PAGE_NONE semantics is silently dropped and the next access leaks past RWP tracking. Wire the preservation through every path that rewrites a VM_UFFD_RWP PTE. Swap and device-exclusive: do_swap_page(), restore_exclusive_pte(), and unuse_pte() (swapoff()) re-apply PAGE_NONE when the swap PTE carries the uffd bit and the VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP. Migration: remove_migration_pte() and remove_migration_pmd() do the same after the migration entry is replaced with a real PTE/PMD. Fork: __copy_present_ptes(), copy_present_page(), copy_nonpresent_pte(), copy_huge_pmd(), copy_huge_non_present_pmd(), and copy_hugetlb_page_range() keep the uffd bit on the child when the destination VMA has VM_UFFD_RWP, matching the existing VM_UFFD_WP handling. Add VM_UFFD_RWP to VM_COPY_ON_FORK so the flag itself propagates. mprotect(): change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() restore PAGE_NONE after pte_modify()/pmd_modify() have recomputed the base protection from a (possibly user-changed) vm_page_prot. pte_modify() preserves _PAGE_UFFD, so the bit stays; we just have to force PAGE_NONE back on top.

Preparatory patch. Add the change_protection() primitive that userfaultfd RWP will use. An RWP-protected PTE is PAGE_NONE with the uffd PTE bit set. The PROT_NONE half makes the CPU fault on any access; the uffd bit distinguishes an RWP fault from a plain mprotect(PROT_NONE) or NUMA hinting fault. MM_CP_UFFD_WP and MM_CP_UFFD_RWP share the same PTE bit, so the two cannot be used together on the same range. Two new change_protection() flags: MM_CP_UFFD_RWP install PAGE_NONE and set the uffd bit MM_CP_UFFD_RWP_RESOLVE restore vma->vm_page_prot, clear the uffd bit Both are wired through change_pte_range(), change_huge_pmd(), and hugetlb_change_protection() so anon, shmem, THP, and hugetlb all share the same semantics.

2026-07-30mm: rename ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION to ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVESUsama Arif
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION gates PMD-level migration entries. PMD-level device-private entries use the same migration mechanism and therefore require the same architecture support. Upcoming PMD-level swap entries can use the same PMD softleaf helpers without depending on page migration, so rename the architecture gate to CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES.

2026-07-30mm/huge_memory: move softleaf_to_folio() inside migration branchUsama Arif
change_non_present_huge_pmd() calls softleaf_to_folio() unconditionally at the top of the function. softleaf_to_folio() extracts a PFN from the entry and converts it to a folio pointer, which is only meaningful for migration and device_private entries that encode a real PFN. A swap entry encodes a swap offset instead, so softleaf_to_folio() would produce a bogus pointer and crash on mprotect() when a PMD swap entry is present. Move the call into the migration_write branch where the folio is actually used, so the function is safe for any non-present PMD type.

2026-07-30mm: add softleaf_to_pmd() and convert existing callersUsama Arif
Patch series "mm: preparatory patches for PMD level swap entries", v2. This is the preparatory part of the PMD page table swapin work. The full PMD swap entry series has been split into two parts: 1. this preparatory series, which contains the first 6 patches. Zi [1] and Lance [2] suggested to separate this out from the core series. 2. the PMD swap entry core series, which depends on this one. I will send this once the preparatory series is merged in mm-new as v3 as the combined is currently at v2 [1]. I have not marked this prep series as v3, as its not really adding support for PMD swap entries. This series does not introduce PMD swap entries and does not install any new page-table entry type. It only cleans up existing PMD softleaf helpers and call sites so the follow-up PMD swap entry series can be smaller and easier to review. It should be safe to merge independently. The patches are either helper additions, refactors of existing open-coded logic, defensive checks that preserve current migration/device-private behavior, or a mechanical rename of the PMD softleaf Kconfig gate. The follow-up series depends on these helpers, but this series does not depend on the follow-up series. Patch breakdown: 1. mm: add softleaf_to_pmd() and convert existing callers Add the PMD counterpart to softleaf_to_pte() and convert existing swp_entry_to_pmd() users that are constructing PMD softleaf entries. 2. mm: extract mm_prepare_for_swap_entries() helper Hoist the "register mm with swapoff" double-checked-locking pattern out of try_to_unmap_one() and copy_nonpresent_pte() so future PMD-level users do not need another open-coded copy. 3. fs/proc: use softleaf_has_pfn() in pagemap PMD walker Avoid assuming every non-present PMD softleaf entry encodes a PFN. Existing migration/device-private behavior is preserved. 4. mm/huge_memory: move softleaf_to_folio() inside migration branch Keep the folio lookup in change_non_present_huge_pmd() scoped to the migration-entry branch that actually needs it. 5. mm/migrate_device: move softleaf_to_folio() inside device-private branch Apply the same ordering cleanup to migrate_vma_collect_pmd(): only derive a folio after confirming the PMD entry is device-private. 6. mm: rename ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION to ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES Rename the architecture gate to describe what it actually enables: PMD softleaf entries. Migration remains the only current user in this series; the follow-up series adds PMD swap entries. This patch (of 6): Add softleaf_to_pmd() as the PMD counterpart to softleaf_to_pte(), completing the symmetry of the softleaf abstraction for page table leaf entries. The upcoming PMD swap entry support needs to construct PMD entries from swap entries. Converting existing swp_entry_to_pmd() callers to softleaf_to_pmd() in a prep patch keeps the feature patches focused on new functionality rather than mixing refactoring with new code.

2026-07-28mm/huge_memory: unlock i_mmap_rwsem before releasing after-split foliosKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
__folio_split() keeps dereferencing the mapping after the split: shmem_uncharge(mapping->host) and remap_page() while the folios are still frozen/locked, and i_mmap_unlock_read(mapping) at the very end, after the after-split folios have been unlocked and freed. Nothing holds an inode reference across that. The split relies on @folio -- which the beyond-EOF drop loop never removes, as it starts at folio_next(folio) -- staying locked and in the page cache to hold off eviction. But the unlock loop unlocks @folio before i_mmap_unlock_read() runs. If the caller's @lock_at is a tail beyond EOF, as memory_failure() passes when splitting a poisoned tail of a shmem THP that reaches past i_size during truncation, it too is gone from the page cache; so once @folio is unlocked no locked, in-cache folio pins the inode, and a concurrent final iput() can evict and RCU-free it before i_mmap_unlock_read() touches i_mmap_rwsem: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __up_read+0x634/0x790 i_mmap_unlock_read include/linux/fs.h:537 [inline] __folio_split+0x732/0x1640 mm/huge_memory.c:4100 try_to_split_thp_page+0xab/0x390 mm/memory-failure.c:1675 memory_failure+0x1394/0x26e0 mm/memory-failure.c:2470 Freed by task 4601: shmem_free_in_core_inode+0x54/0xb0 mm/shmem.c:5177 evict+0x57f/0xac0 fs/inode.c:870 Do every mapping dereference while @folio still pins the inode: drop i_mmap_rwsem right after remap_page(), before the loop that unlocks and frees the after-split folios, and clear @mapping so the exit path does not unlock it again. shmem_uncharge() and remap_page() already run before that point, so after this nothing past the unlock loop touches the inode or the mapping. This is now a rule the split depends on, alongside keeping @folio frozen until the page cache is updated: no inode or mapping dereference once the after-split folios start being unlocked.

move_pages_huge_pmd() snapshots src_pmdval under src_ptl, drops the lock, and, for migration entries, waits with pmd_migration_entry_wait(). Passing &src_pmdval is wrong. pmd_migration_entry_wait() must lock and re-read the real page-table PMD; on split-PMD-lock kernels, a stack address also resolves to the wrong lock. softleaf_entry_wait_on_locked() then waits without a folio reference, which is safe only while serialized against migration-entry removal by the real PT lock.

2026-07-09mm/huge_memory: set PG_has_hwpoisoned only after new folio head is establishedRik van Riel
__split_folio_to_order() copies the hwpoison state onto each new sub-folio while splitting a folio to a non-zero order. It does so via if (handle_hwpoison && page_range_has_hwpoisoned(new_head, new_nr_pages)) folio_set_has_hwpoisoned(new_folio); *before* clear_compound_head(new_head)/prep_compound_page(new_head, ...) turns @new_head from a tail page into a proper folio head. PG_has_hwpoisoned is a FOLIO_SECOND_PAGE flag, so folio_set_has_hwpoisoned() resolves to folio_flags(folio, 1). With the new compound_info-based page-flags layout, folio_flags() asserts the page is not a tail: VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(page->compound_info & 1, page); VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS(n > 0 && !test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags.f), page); At the current call site @new_head still has the tail marker (compound_info bit 0 set, PG_head clear), so on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels this hits: kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:354 folio_flags+0x82 folio_set_has_hwpoisoned __split_folio_to_order __split_unmapped_folio __folio_split truncate_inode_partial_folio (shmem hole-punch / MADV_REMOVE) Reproduced by syzkaller: hwpoison-inject a few subpages of a large shmem folio, then MADV_REMOVE (fallocate punch hole) on the same range, which splits the partial folio to a non-zero order. memory_failure() tries to split the poisoned folio to order 0 first, but that split is best-effort; when it fails the folio is left large with PG_has_hwpoisoned set, the case fa5a06170036 added this hwpoison copying for. Move the folio_set_has_hwpoisoned() call to after clear_compound_head()/prep_compound_page(), where @new_folio is a real order-new_order head folio (handle_hwpoison implies new_order != 0, so a second page always exists). The flag still lands on the same struct page (page[1] of the new folio); only the ordering relative to compound-head setup changes, satisfying the FOLIO_SECOND_PAGE precondition.

2026-06-21mm/khugepaged: enable clean pagecache folio collapse for writable filesZi Yan
collapse_file() is capable of collapsing pagecache folios from writable files to PMD folios. Now enable clean pagecache folio collapse in addition to read-only pagecache folio collapse by removing the inode_is_open_for_write() from file_thp_enabled() and only performing filemap_flush() if the file is read-only. This means userspace needs to explicitly flush the content of pagecache folios before khugepaged can collapse the folios, or use madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE), which does the flush in the retry. The reason is that blindly enabling dirty pagecache folio from writable files collapse makes khugepaged flush these folios all the time. It is undesirable to cause system level pagecache flushes. To properly support dirty pagecache folio collapse, filemap_flush() needs to be avoided. Potentially, merging associated buffer instead of dropping it with filemap_release_folio() might be needed. NOTE: this breaks khugepaged selftests for writable file pagecache collapse, which is set to fail all the time. The next commit fixes it.

2026-06-21mm: fs: remove filemap_nr_thps*() functions and their usersZi Yan
They are used by READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS to handle writes to FSes without large folio support, so that read-only THPs created in these FSes are not seen by the FSes when the underlying fd becomes writable. Now read-only PMD THPs only appear in a FS with large folio support and the supported orders include PMD_ORDER. READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was using mapping->nr_thps, inode->i_writecount, and smp_mb() to prevent writes to a read-only THP and collapsing writable folios into a THP. In collapse_file(), mapping->nr_thps is increased, then smp_mb(), and if inode->i_writecount > 0, collapse is stopped, while do_dentry_open() first increases inode->i_writecount, then a full memory fence, and if mapping->nr_thps > 0, all read-only THPs are truncated. Now this mechanism can be removed along with READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS code, since a dirty folio check has been added after try_to_unmap() in collapse_file() to prevent dirty folios from being collapsed as clean.

These statistics complement the existing THP_SCAN_EXCEED_* events by providing per-order granularity for mTHP collapse attempts. The stats are exposed via sysfs under `/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*/stats/` for each supported hugepage size. As we currently do not support collapsing mTHPs that contain a swap or shared entry, those statistics keep track of how often we are encountering failed mTHP collapses due to these restrictions. We will add support for mTHP collapse for anonymous pages next; lets also track when this happens at the PMD level within the per-mTHP stats.

There is a window between inode_prepare_wbs_switch() returning true (having passed the SB_ACTIVE check and grabbed the inode) and the subsequent wb_queue_isw() call: if cgroup_writeback_umount() observes the global isw_nr_in_flight counter as non-zero but flush_workqueue() finds nothing queued yet, it returns early - leaving a held inode reference that blocks evict_inodes() and a later iput() that hits freed percpu counters. The race is closed by covering the window from inode_prepare_wbs_switch() through wb_queue_isw() with an RCU read-side critical section and synchronizing in the umount path. On top of that the now-dead rcu_barrier() left over from the queue_rcu_work() era is removed, and the global synchronize_rcu()/flush_workqueue() pair is replaced with a per-sb in-flight counter plus pin/unpin/drain helpers so umount no longer serializes against switch activity on unrelated superblocks. Under cgroup writeback churn on a 16 vCPU guest this takes umount latency from ~92-138ms p50 down to ~5-8ms p50 and the cumulative cost of cgroup_writeback_umount() from ~62ms to ~4us per call. The initial race fix is kept separate and minimal so it backports cleanly to stable trees that still queue switches via queue_rcu_work(). - Improve write performance with RWF_DONTCACHE Dirty DONTCACHE pages are now tracked per bdi_writeback so that the writeback flusher can be kicked in a targeted fashion for IOCB_DONTCACHE writes instead of relying on global writeback, and the PG_dropbehind flag is preserved when a folio is split. * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: mm: kick writeback flusher for IOCB_DONTCACHE with targeted dirty tracking mm: track DONTCACHE dirty pages per bdi_writeback mm: preserve PG_dropbehind flag during folio split writeback: use a per-sb counter to drain inode wb switches at umount writeback: drop now-unnecessary rcu_barrier() in cgroup_writeback_umount() writeback: fix race between cgroup_writeback_umount() and inode_switch_wbs()

deferred_split_count() returns the raw list_lru count. When the per-memcg, per-node list is empty, that count is 0. That skips scanning, but it does not tell memcg reclaim that the shrinker is empty. shrink_slab_memcg() only clears the memcg shrinker bit when the count callback reports SHRINK_EMPTY. Return SHRINK_EMPTY for an empty deferred split list, so the bit can be cleared once the queue has drained.

2026-06-08mm: switch deferred split shrinker to list_lruJohannes Weiner
The deferred split queue handles cgroups in a suboptimal fashion. The queue is per-NUMA node or per-cgroup, not the intersection. That means on a cgrouped system, a node-restricted allocation entering reclaim can end up splitting large pages on other nodes: alloc/unmap deferred_split_folio() list_add_tail(memcg->split_queue) set_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id) for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask(restricted_nodes) mem_cgroup_iter() shrink_slab(node, memcg) shrink_slab_memcg(node, memcg) if test_shrinker_bit(memcg, node, deferred_shrinker_id) deferred_split_scan() walks memcg->split_queue The shrinker bit adds an imperfect guard rail. As soon as the cgroup has a single large page on the node of interest, all large pages owned by that memcg, including those on other nodes, will be split. list_lru properly sets up per-node, per-cgroup lists. As a bonus, it streamlines a lot of the list operations and reclaim walks. It's used widely by other major shrinkers already. Convert the deferred split queue as well. The list_lru per-memcg heads are instantiated on demand when the first object of interest is allocated for a cgroup, by calling folio_memcg_alloc_deferred(). Add calls to where splittable pages are created: anon faults, swapin faults, khugepaged collapse. These calls create all possible node heads for the cgroup at once, so the migration code (between nodes) doesn't need any special care.

2026-06-04mm: preserve PG_dropbehind flag during folio splitJeff Layton
__split_folio_to_order() copies page flags from the original folio to newly created sub-folios using an explicit allowlist, but PG_dropbehind is not included. When a large folio with PG_dropbehind set is split, only the head sub-folio retains the flag; all tail sub-folios silently lose it and will not be reclaimed eagerly after writeback completes. Add PG_dropbehind to the flag copy mask so that the drop-behind hint is preserved across folio splits.

2026-06-03mm/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.

2026-06-02mm/memcg, swap: tidy up cgroup v1 memsw swap helpersKairui Song
The cgroup v1 swap helpers always operate on swap cache folios whose swap entry is stable: the folio is locked and in the swap cache. There is no need to pass the swap entry or page count as separate parameters when they can be derived from the folio itself. Simplify the redundant parameters and add sanity checks to document the required preconditions. Also rename memcg1_swapout to __memcg1_swapout to indicate it requires special calling context: the folio must be isolated and dying, and the call must be made with interrupts disabled. No functional change.

Replace the hardcoded if/else chain of test_bit() calls and string literals in defrag_show() with a loop over defrag_flags[] and defrag_mode_strings[] arrays introduced in the previous commit. This makes defrag_show() consistent with defrag_store() and eliminates the duplicated mode name strings.

2026-05-28mm: huge_memory: use sysfs_match_string() in defrag_store()Breno Leitao
Patch series "mm: huge_memory: clean up defrag sysfs with shared", v2. Refactor defrag_store() and defrag_show() to use shared data tables instead of duplicated if/else chains. Patch 1 introduces an enum defrag_mode, a defrag_mode_strings[] table, and a defrag_flags[] mapping array, then rewrites defrag_store() to use sysfs_match_string() with a loop over defrag_flags[]. Patch 2 refactors defrag_show() to use the same arrays, replacing its hardcoded if/else chain of test_bit() calls and string literals. This follows the same pattern applied to anon_enabled_store() in commit 522dfb4ba71f ("mm: huge_memory: refactor anon_enabled_store() with change_anon_orders()"). This patch (of 2): Replace the if/else chain of sysfs_streq() calls in defrag_store() with sysfs_match_string() and a defrag_mode_strings[] table. Introduce enum defrag_mode and defrag_flags[] array mapping each mode to its corresponding transparent_hugepage_flag. The store function now loops over defrag_flags[], setting the bit for the selected mode and clearing the others. When mode is DEFRAG_NEVER (index 4), no index in the 4-element defrag_flags[] matches, so all flags are cleared. Note that the enum ordering (always, defer, defer+madvise, madvise, never) differs from the original if/else chain order in defrag_store() (always, defer+madvise, defer, madvise, never). This is intentional to match the display order used by defrag_show(). This is a follow-up cleanup to commit 522dfb4ba71f ("mm: huge_memory: refactor anon_enabled_store() with change_anon_orders()") which applied the same sysfs_match_string() pattern to anon_enabled_store().

2026-04-18mm: thp: prevent memory cgroup release in folio_split_queue_lock{_irqsave}()Qi Zheng
In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory cgroup. To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to hold the rcu read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup returned by folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released. In the current patch, the rcu read lock is employed to safeguard against the release of the memory cgroup in folio_split_queue_lock{_irqsave}().

2026-04-05mm: fix deferred split queue races during migrationLance Yang
migrate_folio_move() records the deferred split queue state from src and replays it on dst. Replaying it after remove_migration_ptes(src, dst, 0) makes dst visible before it is requeued, so a concurrent rmap-removal path can mark dst partially mapped and trip the WARN in deferred_split_folio(). Move the requeue before remove_migration_ptes() so dst is back on the deferred split queue before it becomes visible again. Because migration still holds dst locked at that point, teach deferred_split_scan() to requeue a folio when folio_trylock() fails. Otherwise a fully mapped underused folio can be dequeued by the shrinker and silently lost from split_queue.
