9 daysuserfaultfd: reset err to be 0 when move_pages_ptes succeededBryan Lim
During move_pages() operation, when move_pages_ptes() returns EAGAIN, the error code is not cleared even after we processed it. This leads to a successful retry but then the same pages are retried again due to the stale error code. This time move fails because pages are already moved, loop is terminated and move_pages() reports a failure. Clear the error code once we processes EAGAIN.

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.

2026-08-04mm/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. No functional change intended.

2026-08-04userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_SET_MODE for runtime sync/async toggleKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
Add an ioctl to toggle async mode at runtime without re-registering the userfaultfd. This allows a VMM to switch between sync and async RWP modes on-the-fly -- for example, starting in async mode for working set scanning, then switching to sync mode to intercept faults during page eviction. UFFDIO_SET_MODE takes an enable/disable bitmask of UFFD_FEATURE_* flags. Only UFFD_FEATURE_RWP_ASYNC is toggleable today; the ioctl rejects any other bit with -EINVAL. Enabling RWP_ASYNC also requires RWP to have been negotiated at UFFDIO_API time, mirroring the UFFDIO_API invariant. Fault-path readers of ctx->features run under mmap_read_lock or a per-VMA lock; the RMW takes mmap_write_lock and calls vma_start_write() on every UFFD-armed VMA, so those readers are fully excluded. userfaultfd_show_fdinfo(), however, reads ctx->features without any lock, so the RMW is written as a single WRITE_ONCE and fdinfo reads it with READ_ONCE. That keeps the lockless observer from seeing a mid-RMW intermediate and removes the audit burden when new toggleable bits are added later. When switching to async, pending sync waiters are woken so they retry and auto-resolve under the new mode.

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. Works on anonymous, shmem, and hugetlb memory.

2026-08-04userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP and UFFDIO_RWPROTECT plumbingKiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
Add the userspace interface for read-write protection tracking: - UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP register a range for RWP tracking - UFFD_FEATURE_RWP capability bit - UFFDIO_RWPROTECT install / remove RWP on a range Introduce CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP, auto-selected on 64-bit kernels with ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE and HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP. The symbol gates VM_UFFD_RWP (previously aliased to VM_NONE) and the smaps/trace-flag hooks added in the preparatory patches; without it the UAPI bits added here have nothing to drive and would be unreachable. Registration sets VM_UFFD_RWP on the VMA. Combining MODE_WP with MODE_RWP is rejected because both modes claim the uffd PTE bit. UFFDIO_RWPROTECT is the bidirectional counterpart of UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT: - MODE_RWP change_protection() with MM_CP_UFFD_RWP installs PAGE_NONE and sets the uffd bit on present PTEs - !MODE_RWP change_protection() with MM_CP_UFFD_RWP_RESOLVE restores vma->vm_page_prot and clears the bit userfaultfd_clear_vma() runs the same resolve pass on unregister so RWP state cannot outlive the uffd. Re-registering a range must not drop a mode that installs per-PTE markers (WP or RWP); doing so returns -EBUSY. This also closes a pre-existing window where re-registering without MODE_WP would strand uffd-wp markers: before, those caused extra write-faults but were otherwise benign; with RWP preservation in place, a subsequent mprotect() on a VM_UFFD_RWP VMA would silently promote the stale markers to RWP. The feature is not yet advertised. UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP, UFFD_FEATURE_RWP, and _UFFDIO_RWPROTECT are intentionally absent from UFFD_API_REGISTER_MODES, UFFD_API_FEATURES, and UFFD_API_RANGE_IOCTLS, so UFFDIO_API masks them out and the register-mode validator rejects the bit. The follow-up patch adds fault dispatch and exposes the UAPI.

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.

2026-06-08userfaultfd: gate must_wait writability check on pte_present()Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
userfaultfd_must_wait() and userfaultfd_huge_must_wait() read the PTE without taking the page table lock and then apply pte_write() / huge_pte_write() to it. Those accessors decode bits from the present encoding only; on a swap or migration entry they read the offset bits that happen to share the same position and return an undefined result. The intent of the check is "is this fault still WP-blocked?". A non-marker swap entry means the page is in transit -- the userfault context the original fault delivered against is no longer the same, and the swap-in or migration completion path will re-deliver a fresh fault if userspace still needs to handle it. Worst case under the current code the garbage write bit says "wait", and the thread stays asleep until a UFFDIO_WAKE that may never arrive. Gate the writability check on pte_present() so the lockless re-check only inspects present-PTE bits when the entry is actually present. The non-present, non-marker case returns "don't wait" and lets the fault path retry.

This patch (of 2): Historically userfaultfd implementation has been split between fs/userfaultfd.c and mm/userfaultfd.c. The mm/ part implemented memory management operations, while the fs/ part implemented file descriptor handling and called into the mm/ part for the actual memory management work. This separation is quite artificial and fs/userfaultfd.c does not seem to belong to fs/ because it's only a user if vfs APIs and like for other users, for example, memfd and secretmem, the file descriptor handling could live in mm/ as well. "Append" fs/userfaultfd.c to mm/userfaultfd and update fs/Makefile and MAINTAINERS accordingly. No intended functional changes.

2026-05-31userfaultfd: 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().

2026-04-27mm/userfaultfd: detect VMA type change after copy retry in ↵David Carlier
mfill_copy_folio_retry() mfill_copy_folio_retry() drops mmap_lock for the copy_from_user() call. During this window, the VMA can be replaced with a different type (e.g. hugetlb), making the caller's ops pointer stale. Subsequent use of the stale ops would dispatch into the wrong per-vma handlers. Capture the VMA's ops via vma_uffd_ops() before dropping the lock and compare against the current vma_uffd_ops() after re-acquiring it. Return -EAGAIN if they differ so the operation can be retried. This avoids comparing against the caller's ops which may have been overridden to anon_uffd_ops for MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings.

2026-04-18shmem, userfaultfd: use a VMA callback to handle UFFDIO_CONTINUEMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
When userspace resolves a page fault in a shmem VMA with UFFDIO_CONTINUE it needs to get a folio that already exists in the pagecache backing that VMA. Instead of using shmem_get_folio() for that, add a get_folio_noalloc() method to 'struct vm_uffd_ops' that will return a folio if it exists in the VMA's pagecache at given pgoff. Implement get_folio_noalloc() method for shmem and slightly refactor userfaultfd's mfill_get_vma() and mfill_atomic_pte_continue() to support this new API.

2026-04-18userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_opsMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Current userfaultfd implementation works only with memory managed by core MM: anonymous, shmem and hugetlb. First, there is no fundamental reason to limit userfaultfd support only to the core memory types and userfaults can be handled similarly to regular page faults provided a VMA owner implements appropriate callbacks. Second, historically various code paths were conditioned on vma_is_anonymous(), vma_is_shmem() and is_vm_hugetlb_page() and some of these conditions can be expressed as operations implemented by a particular memory type. Introduce vm_uffd_ops extension to vm_operations_struct that will delegate memory type specific operations to a VMA owner. Operations for anonymous memory are handled internally in userfaultfd using anon_uffd_ops that implicitly assigned to anonymous VMAs. Start with a single operation, ->can_userfault() that will verify that a VMA meets requirements for userfaultfd support at registration time. Implement that method for anonymous, shmem and hugetlb and move relevant parts of vma_can_userfault() into the new callbacks.

2026-04-18userfaultfd: retry copying with locks dropped in mfill_atomic_pte_copy()Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Implementation of UFFDIO_COPY for anonymous memory might fail to copy data from userspace buffer when the destination VMA is locked (either with mm_lock or with per-VMA lock). In that case, mfill_atomic() releases the locks, retries copying the data with locks dropped and then re-locks the destination VMA and re-establishes PMD. Since this retry-reget dance is only relevant for UFFDIO_COPY and it never happens for other UFFDIO_ operations, make it a part of mfill_atomic_pte_copy() that actually implements UFFDIO_COPY for anonymous memory. As a temporal safety measure to avoid breaking biscection mfill_atomic_pte_copy() makes sure to never return -ENOENT so that the loop in mfill_atomic() won't retry copiyng outside of mmap_lock. This is removed later when shmem implementation will be updated later and the loop in mfill_atomic() will be adjusted.

2026-04-18userfaultfd: introduce struct mfill_stateMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
mfill_atomic() passes a lot of parameters down to its callees. Aggregate them all into mfill_state structure and pass this structure to functions that implement various UFFDIO_ commands. Tracking the state in a structure will allow moving the code that retries copying of data for UFFDIO_COPY into mfill_atomic_pte_copy() and make the loop in mfill_atomic() identical for all UFFDIO operations on PTE-mapped memory. The mfill_state definition is deliberately local to mm/userfaultfd.c, hence shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() is not updated.

2026-04-18userfaultfd: introduce mfill_copy_folio_locked() helperMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
Patch series "mm, kvm: allow uffd support in guest_memfd", v4. These patches enable support for userfaultfd in guest_memfd. As the groundwork I refactored userfaultfd handling of PTE-based memory types (anonymous and shmem) and converted them to use vm_uffd_ops for allocating a folio or getting an existing folio from the page cache. shmem also implements callbacks that add a folio to the page cache after the data passed in UFFDIO_COPY was copied and remove the folio from the page cache if page table update fails. In order for guest_memfd to notify userspace about page faults, there are new VM_FAULT_UFFD_MINOR and VM_FAULT_UFFD_MISSING that a ->fault() handler can return to inform the page fault handler that it needs to call handle_userfault() to complete the fault. Nikita helped to plumb these new goodies into guest_memfd and provided basic tests to verify that guest_memfd works with userfaultfd. The handling of UFFDIO_MISSING in guest_memfd requires ability to remove a folio from page cache, the best way I could find was exporting filemap_remove_folio() to KVM. I deliberately left hugetlb out, at least for the most part. hugetlb handles acquisition of VMA and more importantly establishing of parent page table entry differently than PTE-based memory types. This is a different abstraction level than what vm_uffd_ops provides and people objected to exposing such low level APIs as a part of VMA operations. Also, to enable uffd in guest_memfd refactoring of hugetlb is not needed and I prefer to delay it until the dust settles after the changes in this set. This patch (of 4): Split copying of data when locks held from mfill_atomic_pte_copy() into a helper function mfill_copy_folio_locked(). This makes improves code readability and makes complex mfill_atomic_pte_copy() function easier to comprehend. No functional change.

2026-04-05mm/vma: convert vma_modify_flags[_uffd]() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Update the vma_modify_flags() and vma_modify_flags_uffd() functions to accept a vma_flags_t parameter rather than a vm_flags_t one, and propagate the changes as needed to implement this change. Also add vma_flags_reset_once() in replacement of vm_flags_reset_once(). We still need to be careful here because we need to avoid tearing, so maintain the assumption that the first system word set of flags are the only ones that require protection from tearing, and retain this functionality. We can copy the remainder of VMA flags above 64 bits normally. But hopefully by the time that happens, we will have replaced the logic that requires these WRITE_ONCE()'s with something else. We also replace instances of vm_flags_reset() with a simple write of VMA flags. We are no longer perform a number of checks, most notable of all the VMA flags asserts becase: 1. We might be operating on a VMA that is not yet added to the tree. 2. We might be operating on a VMA that is now detached. 3. Really in all but core code, you should be using vma_desc_xxx(). 4. Other VMA fields are manipulated with no such checks. 5. It'd be egregious to have to add variants of flag functions just to account for cases such as the above, especially when we don't do so for other VMA fields. Drivers are the problematic cases and why it was especially important (and also for debug as VMA locks were introduced), the mmap_prepare work is solving this generally. Additionally, we can fairly safely assume by this point the soft dirty flags are being set correctly, so it's reasonable to drop this also. Finally, update the VMA tests to reflect this.

2026-04-05mm/userfaultfd: fix hugetlb fault mutex hash calculationJianhui Zhou
In mfill_atomic_hugetlb(), linear_page_index() is used to calculate the page index for hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash(). However, linear_page_index() returns the index in PAGE_SIZE units, while hugetlb_fault_mutex_hash() expects the index in huge page units. This mismatch means that different addresses within the same huge page can produce different hash values, leading to the use of different mutexes for the same huge page. This can cause races between faulting threads, which can corrupt the reservation map and trigger the BUG_ON in resv_map_release(). Fix this by introducing hugetlb_linear_page_index(), which returns the page index in huge page granularity, and using it in place of linear_page_index().

2026-01-20mm: introduce generic lazy_mmu helpersKevin Brodsky
The implementation of the lazy MMU mode is currently entirely arch-specific; core code directly calls arch helpers: arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode(). We are about to introduce support for nested lazy MMU sections. As things stand we'd have to duplicate that logic in every arch implementing lazy_mmu - adding to a fair amount of logic already duplicated across lazy_mmu implementations. This patch therefore introduces a new generic layer that calls the existing arch_* helpers. Two pair of calls are introduced: * lazy_mmu_mode_enable() ... lazy_mmu_mode_disable() This is the standard case where the mode is enabled for a given block of code by surrounding it with enable() and disable() calls. * lazy_mmu_mode_pause() ... lazy_mmu_mode_resume() This is for situations where the mode is temporarily disabled by first calling pause() and then resume() (e.g. to prevent any batching from occurring in a critical section). The documentation in <linux/pgtable.h> will be updated in a subsequent patch. No functional change should be introduced at this stage. The implementation of enable()/resume() and disable()/pause() is currently identical, but nesting support will change that. Most of the call sites have been updated using the following Coccinelle script: @@ @@ { ... - arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode(); + lazy_mmu_mode_enable(); ... - arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(); + lazy_mmu_mode_disable(); ... } @@ @@ { ... - arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(); + lazy_mmu_mode_pause(); ... - arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode(); + lazy_mmu_mode_resume(); ... } A couple of notes regarding x86: * Xen is currently the only case where explicit handling is required for lazy MMU when context-switching. This is purely an implementation detail and using the generic lazy_mmu_mode_* functions would cause trouble when nesting support is introduced, because the generic functions must be called from the current task. For that reason we still use arch_leave() and arch_enter() there. * x86 calls arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() unconditionally in a few places, but only defines it if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected, and we are removing the fallback in <linux/pgtable.h>. Add a new fallback definition to <asm/pgtable.h> to keep things building.

This patchset adds support for Svrsw60t59b [1] extension which is ratified now, also add soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking for RISC-V. The patches 1 and 2 add macros to allow architectures to define their own checks if the soft-dirty / uffd_wp PTE bits are available, in other words for RISC-V, the Svrsw60t59b extension is supported on which device the kernel is running. Also patch1-2 are removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of checks which if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected. This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty, madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass, and no regressions are observed in any of the other tests. This patch (of 6): Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource. Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is running. This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected. We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(), so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.

2025-11-24mm: introduce leaf entry type and use to simplify leaf entry logicLorenzo Stoakes
The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either: The kernel maintains leaf page table entries which contain either: - Nothing ('none' entries) - Present entries* - Everything else that will cause a fault which the kernel handles * Present entries are either entries the hardware can navigate without page fault or special cases like NUMA hint protnone or PMD with cleared present bit which contain hardware-valid entries modulo the present bit. In the 'everything else' group we include swap entries, but we also include a number of other things such as migration entries, device private entries and marker entries. Unfortunately this 'everything else' group expresses everything through a swp_entry_t type, and these entries are referred to swap entries even though they may well not contain a... swap entry. This is compounded by the rather mind-boggling concept of a non-swap swap entry (checked via non_swap_entry()) and the means by which we twist and turn to satisfy this. This patch lays the foundation for reducing this confusion. We refer to 'everything else' as a 'software-define leaf entry' or 'softleaf'. for short And in fact we scoop up the 'none' entries into this concept also so we are left with: - Present entries. - Softleaf entries (which may be empty). This allows for radical simplification across the board - one can simply convert any leaf page table entry to a leaf entry via softleaf_from_pte(). If the entry is present, we return an empty leaf entry, so it is assumed the caller is aware that they must differentiate between the two categories of page table entries, checking for the former via pte_present(). As a result, we can eliminate a number of places where we would otherwise need to use predicates to see if we can proceed with leaf page table entry conversion and instead just go ahead and do it unconditionally. We do so where we can, adjusting surrounding logic as necessary to integrate the new softleaf_t logic as far as seems reasonable at this stage. We typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t for the time being until the conversion can be complete, meaning everything remains compatible regardless of which type is used. We will eventually remove swp_entry_t when the conversion is complete. We introduce a new header file to keep things clear - leafops.h - this imports swapops.h so can direct replace swapops imports without issue, and we do so in all the files that require it. Additionally, add new leafops.h file to core mm maintainers entry.

2025-11-24mm: correctly handle UFFD PTE markersLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "mm: remove is_swap_[pte, pmd]() + non-swap entries, introduce leaf entries", v3. There's an established convention in the kernel that we treat leaf page tables (so far at the PTE, PMD level) as containing 'swap entries' should they be neither empty (i.e. p**_none() evaluating true) nor present (i.e. p**_present() evaluating true). However, at the same time we also have helper predicates - is_swap_pte(), is_swap_pmd() - which are inconsistently used. This is problematic, as it is logical to assume that should somebody wish to operate upon a page table swap entry they should first check to see if it is in fact one. It also implies that perhaps, in future, we might introduce a non-present, none page table entry that is not a swap entry. This series resolves this issue by systematically eliminating all use of the is_swap_pte() and is swap_pmd() predicates so we retain only the convention that should a leaf page table entry be neither none nor present it is a swap entry. We also have the further issue that 'swap entry' is unfortunately a really rather overloaded term and in fact refers to both entries for swap and for other information such as migration entries, page table markers, and device private entries. We therefore have the rather 'unique' concept of a 'non-swap' swap entry. This series therefore introduces the concept of 'software leaf entries', of type softleaf_t, to eliminate this confusion. A software leaf entry in this sense is any page table entry which is non-present, and represented by the softleaf_t type. That is - page table leaf entries which are software-controlled by the kernel. This includes 'none' or empty entries, which are simply represented by an zero leaf entry value. In order to maintain compatibility as we transition the kernel to this new type, we simply typedef swp_entry_t to softleaf_t. We introduce a number of predicates and helpers to interact with software leaf entries in include/linux/leafops.h which, as it imports swapops.h, can be treated as a drop-in replacement for swapops.h wherever leaf entry helpers are used. Since softleaf_from_[pte, pmd]() treats present entries as they were empty/none leaf entries, this allows for a great deal of simplification of code throughout the code base, which this series utilises a great deal. We additionally change from swap entry to software leaf entry handling where it makes sense to and eliminate functions from swapops.h where software leaf entries obviate the need for the functions. This patch (of 16): PTE markers were previously only concerned with UFFD-specific logic - that is, PTE entries with the UFFD WP marker set or those marked via UFFDIO_POISON. However since the introduction of guard markers in commit 7c53dfbdb024 ("mm: add PTE_MARKER_GUARD PTE marker"), this has no longer been the case. Issues have been avoided as guard regions are not permitted in conjunction with UFFD, but it still leaves very confusing logic in place, most notably the misleading and poorly named pte_none_mostly() and huge_pte_none_mostly(). This predicate returns true for PTE entries that ought to be treated as none, but only in certain circumstances, and on the assumption we are dealing with H/W poison markers or UFFD WP markers. This patch removes these functions and makes each invocation of these functions instead explicitly check what it needs to check. As part of this effort it introduces is_uffd_pte_marker() to explicitly determine if a marker in fact is used as part of UFFD or not. In the HMM logic we note that the only time we would need to check for a fault is in the case of a UFFD WP marker, otherwise we simply encounter a fault error (VM_FAULT_HWPOISON for H/W poisoned marker, VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV for a guard marker), so only check for the UFFD WP case. While we're here we also refactor code to make it easier to understand.

2025-11-16mm/userfaultfd: don't lock anon_vma when performing UFFDIO_MOVELokesh Gidra
Now that rmap_walk() is guaranteed to be called with the folio lock held, we can stop serializing on the src VMA anon_vma lock when moving an exclusive folio from a src VMA to a dst VMA in UFFDIO_MOVE ioctl. When moving a folio, we modify folio->mapping through folio_move_anon_rmap() and adjust folio->index accordingly. Doing that while we could have concurrent RMAP walks would be dangerous. Therefore, to avoid that, we had to acquire anon_vma of src VMA in write-mode. That meant that when multiple threads called UFFDIO_MOVE concurrently on distinct pages of the same src VMA, they would serialize on it, hurting scalability. In addition to avoiding the scalability bottleneck, this patch also simplifies the complicated lock dance that UFFDIO_MOVE has to go through between RCU, folio-lock, ptl, and anon_vma. folio_move_anon_rmap() already enforces that the folio is locked. So when we have the folio locked we can no longer race with concurrent rmap_walk() as used by folio_referenced() and others who call it on unlocked non-KSM anon folios, and therefore the anon_vma lock is no longer required. Note that this handling is now the same as for other folio_move_anon_rmap() users that also do not hold the anon_vma lock -- namely COW reuse handling (do_wp_page()->wp_can_reuse_anon_folio(), do_huge_pmd_wp_page(), and hugetlb_wp()). These users never required the anon_vma lock as they are only moving the anon VMA closer to the anon_vma leaf of the VMA, for example, from an anon_vma root to a leaf of that root. rmap walks were always able to tolerate that scenario.

2025-09-21mm, swap: use unified helper for swap cache look upKairui Song
The swap cache lookup helper swap_cache_get_folio currently does readahead updates as well, so callers that are not doing swapin from any VMA or mapping are forced to reuse filemap helpers instead, and have to access the swap cache space directly. So decouple readahead update with swap cache lookup. Move the readahead update part into a standalone helper. Let the caller call the readahead update helper if they do readahead. And convert all swap cache lookups to use swap_cache_get_folio. After this commit, there are only three special cases for accessing swap cache space now: huge memory splitting, migration, and shmem replacing, because they need to lock the XArray. The following commits will wrap their accesses to the swap cache too, with special helpers. And worth noting, currently dropbehind is not supported for anon folio, and we will never see a dropbehind folio in swap cache. The unified helper can be updated later to handle that. While at it, add proper kernedoc for touched helpers. No functional change.

2025-09-13userfaultfd: opportunistic TLB-flush batching for present pages in MOVELokesh Gidra
MOVE ioctl's runtime is dominated by TLB-flush cost, which is required for moving present pages. Mitigate this cost by opportunistically batching present contiguous pages for TLB flushing. Without batching, in our testing on an arm64 Android device with UFFD GC, which uses MOVE ioctl for compaction, we observed that out of the total time spent in move_pages_pte(), over 40% is in ptep_clear_flush(), and ~20% in vm_normal_folio(). With batching, the proportion of vm_normal_folio() increases to over 70% of move_pages_pte() without any changes to vm_normal_folio(). Furthermore, time spent within move_pages_pte() is only ~20%, which includes TLB-flush overhead. When the GC intensive benchmark, which was used to gather the above numbers, is run on cuttlefish (qemu android instance on x86_64), the completion time of the benchmark went down from ~45mins to ~20mins. Furthermore, system_server, one of the most performance critical system processes on android, saw over 50% reduction in GC compaction time on an arm64 android device.

2025-08-27mm/userfaultfd: fix kmap_local LIFO ordering for CONFIG_HIGHPTESasha Levin
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE on 32-bit ARM, move_pages_pte() maps PTE pages using kmap_local_page(), which requires unmapping in Last-In-First-Out order. The current code maps dst_pte first, then src_pte, but unmaps them in the same order (dst_pte, src_pte), violating the LIFO requirement. This causes the warning in kunmap_local_indexed(): WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 604 at mm/highmem.c:622 kunmap_local_indexed+0x178/0x17c addr \!= __fix_to_virt(FIX_KMAP_BEGIN + idx) Fix this by reversing the unmap order to respect LIFO ordering. This issue follows the same pattern as similar fixes: - commit eca6828403b8 ("crypto: skcipher - fix mismatch between mapping and unmapping order") - commit 8cf57c6df818 ("nilfs2: eliminate staggered calls to kunmap in nilfs_rename") Both of which addressed the same fundamental requirement that kmap_local operations must follow LIFO ordering.

2025-07-09mm: convert pXd_devmap checks to vma_is_daxAlistair Popple
Patch series "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type", v3. All users of dax now require a ZONE_DEVICE page which is properly refcounted. This means there is no longer any need for the PFN_DEV, PFN_MAP and PFN_SPECIAL flags. Furthermore the PFN_SG_CHAIN and PFN_SG_LAST flags never appear to have been used. It is therefore possible to remove the pfn_t type and replace any usage with raw pfns. The remaining users of PFN_DEV have simply passed this to vmf_insert_mixed() to create pte_devmap() mappings. It is unclear why this was the case but presumably to ensure vm_normal_page() does not return these pages. These users can be trivially converted to raw pfns and creating a pXX_special() mapping to ensure vm_normal_page() still doesn't return these pages. Now that there are no users of PFN_DEV we can remove the devmap page table bit and all associated functions and macros, freeing up a software page table bit. This patch (of 14): Currently dax is the only user of pmd and pud mapped ZONE_DEVICE pages. Therefore page walkers that want to exclude DAX pages can check pmd_devmap or pud_devmap. However soon dax will no longer set PFN_DEV, meaning dax pages are mapped as normal pages. Ensure page walkers that currently use pXd_devmap to skip DAX pages continue to do so by adding explicit checks of the VMA instead. Remove vma_is_dax() check from mm/userfaultfd.c as validate_move_areas() will already skip DAX VMA's on account of them not being anonymous. The check in userfaultfd_must_wait() is also redundant as vma_can_userfault() should have already filtered out dax vma's. For HMM the pud_devmap check seems unnecessary as there is no reason we shouldn't be able to handle any leaf PUD here so remove it also.

2025-07-09mm: update core kernel code to use vm_flags_t consistentlyLorenzo Stoakes
The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this. While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type. Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes. To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit. The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code as far as is needed. We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

2025-07-09userfaultfd: remove (VM_)BUG_ON()sTal Zussman
BUG_ON() is deprecated [1]. Convert all the BUG_ON()s and VM_BUG_ON()s to use VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(). There are a few additional cases that are converted or modified: - Convert the printk(KERN_WARNING ...) in handle_userfault() to use pr_warn(). - Convert the WARN_ON_ONCE()s in move_pages() to use VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(), as the relevant conditions are already checked in validate_range() in move_pages()'s caller. - Convert the VM_WARN_ON()'s in move_pages() to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(). These cases should never happen and are similar to those in mfill_atomic() and mfill_atomic_hugetlb(), which were previously BUG_ON()s. move_pages() was added later than those functions and makes use of VM_WARN_ON() as a replacement for the deprecated BUG_ON(), but. VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() is likely a better direct replacement. - Convert the WARN_ON() for !VM_MAYWRITE in userfaultfd_unregister() and userfaultfd_register_range() to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(). This condition is enforced in userfaultfd_register() so it should never happen, and can be converted to a debug check.

2025-06-19mm: userfaultfd: fix race of userfaultfd_move and swap cacheKairui Song
This commit fixes two kinds of races, they may have different results: Barry reported a BUG_ON in commit c50f8e6053b0, we may see the same BUG_ON if the filemap lookup returned NULL and folio is added to swap cache after that. If another kind of race is triggered (folio changed after lookup) we may see RSS counter is corrupted: [ 406.893936] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff0000c5a9ddc0 type:MM_ANONPAGES val:-1 [ 406.894071] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff0000c5a9ddc0 type:MM_SHMEMPAGES val:1 Because the folio is being accounted to the wrong VMA. I'm not sure if there will be any data corruption though, seems no. The issues above are critical already. On seeing a swap entry PTE, userfaultfd_move does a lockless swap cache lookup, and tries to move the found folio to the faulting vma. Currently, it relies on checking the PTE value to ensure that the moved folio still belongs to the src swap entry and that no new folio has been added to the swap cache, which turns out to be unreliable. While working and reviewing the swap table series with Barry, following existing races are observed and reproduced [1]: In the example below, move_pages_pte is moving src_pte to dst_pte, where src_pte is a swap entry PTE holding swap entry S1, and S1 is not in the swap cache: CPU1 CPU2 userfaultfd_move move_pages_pte() entry = pte_to_swp_entry(orig_src_pte); // Here it got entry = S1 ... < interrupted> ... <swapin src_pte, alloc and use folio A> // folio A is a new allocated folio // and get installed into src_pte <frees swap entry S1> // src_pte now points to folio A, S1 // has swap count == 0, it can be freed // by folio_swap_swap or swap // allocator's reclaim. <try to swap out another folio B> // folio B is a folio in another VMA. <put folio B to swap cache using S1 > // S1 is freed, folio B can use it // for swap out with no problem. ... folio = filemap_get_folio(S1) // Got folio B here !!! ... < interrupted again> ... <swapin folio B and free S1> // Now S1 is free to be used again. <swapout src_pte & folio A using S1> // Now src_pte is a swap entry PTE // holding S1 again. folio_trylock(folio) move_swap_pte double_pt_lock is_pte_pages_stable // Check passed because src_pte == S1 folio_move_anon_rmap(...) // Moved invalid folio B here !!! The race window is very short and requires multiple collisions of multiple rare events, so it's very unlikely to happen, but with a deliberately constructed reproducer and increased time window, it can be reproduced easily. This can be fixed by checking if the folio returned by filemap is the valid swap cache folio after acquiring the folio lock. Another similar race is possible: filemap_get_folio may return NULL, but folio (A) could be swapped in and then swapped out again using the same swap entry after the lookup. In such a case, folio (A) may remain in the swap cache, so it must be moved too: CPU1 CPU2 userfaultfd_move move_pages_pte() entry = pte_to_swp_entry(orig_src_pte); // Here it got entry = S1, and S1 is not in swap cache folio = filemap_get_folio(S1) // Got NULL ... < interrupted again> ... <swapin folio A and free S1> <swapout folio A re-using S1> move_swap_pte double_pt_lock is_pte_pages_stable // Check passed because src_pte == S1 folio_move_anon_rmap(...) // folio A is ignored !!! Fix this by checking the swap cache again after acquiring the src_pte lock. And to avoid the filemap overhead, we check swap_map directly [2]. The SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path does make the problem more complex, but so far we don't need to worry about that, since folios can only be exposed to the swap cache in the swap out path, and this is covered in this patch by checking the swap cache again after acquiring the src_pte lock. Testing with a simple C program that allocates and moves several GB of memory did not show any observable performance change.
