Merge tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-26-15-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mmPull more MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd file-backed memory. Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance improvements. - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU" (Baolin Wang) Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped executable file folios after their first usage to give executable code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload performance. - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong Chen) Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration. - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif) Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired producer updates. 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 ...

Add kunit-managed fwnode helpers and test coverage - Fix infinite loop in fwnode_for_each_child_node() when the secondary fwnode has more than one child. Add test cases - Fix out-of-bounds access in software_node_get_reference_args() when called with index -1 (UINT_MAX) - Refactor to use RAII approach with __free() - Add Bartosz Golaszewski as software node reviewer firmware loader: - Fix race where a sysfs fallback request can complete before being queued as pending, leading to a use-after-free on the next fallback request - Reject 0-size built-in firmware and fail the build on empty firmware files in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE kobject: - Provide __KOBJ_ATTR() and __KOBJ_ATTR_RO/WO() initialization macros and allow the constification of kobject attributes, enabling them to reside in read-only memory platform: - Provide platform_device_set_of_node(), platform_device_set_fwnode(), and platform_device_set_of_node_from_dev() helpers that encapsulate firmware node reference counting for dynamically allocated platform devices Convert all in-tree users that manually assigned dev.of_node or dev.fwnode, fixing a pre-existing refcount bug in powermac. Switch to counting references of all firmware node types, not only OF nodes - Unify the release path for dynamically allocated platform devices by removing platform_device_release_full(). Amend the fwnode setter API contract to warn if a primary software node is overwritten. Add KUnit tests for correct software node removal on device unregistration Rust: - Auxiliary: - Add registration_data_with() closure-based API for invariant ForLt types - Debugfs: - Migrate BinaryWriter and BinaryReaderMut trait requirements from kernel::transmute traits to zerocopy traits - Device: - Add BoundInternal device context and InternalBoundContext trait for bus abstractions that need internal access to a bound device. - Make the lifetime on Core and CoreInternal invariant to prevent coercion to shorter lifetimes - Devres: - Fix race between concurrent revokers where the losing revoker could return before the winning revoker finished dropping the inner data, causing use-after-free. - Ensure revocation is complete before the device finishes unbinding by making the synchronization bidirectional. - Add DevresLt, a wrapper around Devres that shortens 'static back to the caller's borrow scope. Implement ForLt and CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem, and ExclusiveIoMem - Driver: - Switch from index-based to pointer-based device ID info lookup, storing static references in driver_data. Centralize device ID handling in device_id.rs, removing the open-coded ACPI/OF matching logic and duplicate ID table from driver.rs - I/O: - Make I/O regions typed (with a dynamically-sized Region type for the existing untyped case), create view types representing subregions of a mapped I/O region, and add io_project!() for safely creating subviews. - Split Io into a base trait (IoBase) and an extension trait (Io) with a blanket implementation, preventing implementers from overriding provided methods that unsafe code relies on. - Add a SysMem backend for shared system memory with volatile access, and make Coherent implement Io via an I/O view type. Add IoSysMap as sum type of Mmio and SysMem. Add copying methods (memcpy_{from,to}io()) and read_val()/write_val() for typed access. - Replace dma_read!()/dma_write!() with io_read!()/io_write!() for primitives and copying methods for aggregates; drop the old macros. Convert nova-core to use I/O projection. - Fix internal shortcut rule dispatch in the register!() macro, remove unused rule arguments, and use path fragments for alias destinations - IRQ: - Make irq::Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers by removing the 'static bound on Handler/ThreadedHandler and replacing Devres with direct request_irq()/free_irq() calls. Handlers can now directly own lifetime-bound device resources - PCI: - Convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-annotated owning type, giving drivers explicit control over the allocation lifetime. IrqVector embeds a resolved IrqRequest, making the conversion infallible. Remove the redundant request_irq()/request_threaded_irq() wrappers from pci::Device. - Add pci_irq_type() C helper and expose it via irq_type() on IrqVectorRegistration and IrqVector, returning PCI_IRQ_MSIX, PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX. - Mark pci::Device refcount methods inline - Serdev: - Add Rust abstractions for the serial device bus, including serdev::Driver trait, serdev::Device wrapping struct serdev_device, and serdev::Adapter implementing RegistrationOps. Includes a sample driver. Markus Probst takes over as serdev maintainer for both C and Rust code - Misc: - Split ForLt into a base trait (providing the Of<'a> GAT) and an unsafe CovariantForLt subtrait guaranteeing covariance, enabling invariant types (e.g. those containing Mutex<&'bound T>) to participate in the ForLt abstraction. - Fix Coherent read past EOF returning -ERANGE instead of zero. - Fix firmware example UB by avoiding null-pointer ARef misc: - Avoid iattr allocation in kernfs listxattr by using kernfs_iattrs_noalloc(). - Unregister SoC bus on early device registration failure. - Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbol. - Fix /sys/module path in comment. - Refactor ISA bus init to remove nested blocks. - Remove redundant nodemask clears in numa_init(). - Add kernel-doc for fwnode_operations and sys_soc.h, mark internal property data as private for kernel-doc, and add property.h/fwnode.h to driver-api infrastructure docs. - Add MAINTAINERS entry for sys_soc.h"* tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core: (129 commits) rust: pci: expose the allocated interrupt type PCI: Add pci_irq_type() to query the allocated interrupt type rust: pci: remove request_irq() and request_threaded_irq() from Device rust: pci: resolve IRQ in index() and embed IrqRequest in IrqVector rust: pci: convert IrqVectorRegistration to a lifetime-managed owning type kernfs: avoid iattr allocation in listxattr rust: serdev: use ThisModule::as_ptr() instead of field access ACPI/IORT: use platform_device_set_fwnode() ACPI/APMT: use platform_device_set_fwnode() firmware_loader: do not queue completed sysfs fallback requests rust: pci: Mark Device refcount methods inline rust: irq: make Registration compatible with lifetime-bound drivers rust: net/phy: remove expansion from doc rust: dma: return zero for Coherent reads past EOF rust: io: register: use path fragment for alias destination rust: io: register: remove unused rule arguments rust: io: register: dispatch shortcut rules internally MAINTAINERS: add sys_soc.h to DRIVER CORE rust: debugfs: remove unsafe blocks from traits impl for Vec rust: debugfs: migrate debugfs traits requirements to zerocopy ...

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:03:31 +0200

base: Remove unused DMA_FENCE_TRACE Kconfig symbolCommit d72277b6c37db66b ("dma-buf: nuke DMA_FENCE_TRACE macros v2") inv5.16 removed all users of DMA_FENCE_TRACE on the premise that theKconfig symbol did not exist. Apparently one failed to notice thesymbol did exist since almost five years before: it was renamed fromFENCE_TRACE to DMA_FENCE_TRACE in commit f54d1867005c3323 ("dma-buf:Rename struct fence to dma_fence") in v4.10.Time passed by, so remove the Kconfig symbol, as no one seems to havemissed the functionality.Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Reviewed-by: Christian König Link: https://patch.msgid.link/16fb40ded203d1e2b72f4eeecad3fd0c0d23ad6f.1781863296.git.geert@linux-m68k.orgSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux/drivers/base/Kconfig

56e3ee721b33bdc4ce0765d370983aa4384f8a59 - driver core: Make deferred_probe_timeout default a Kconfig option

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 09:49:16 +0100

driver core: Make deferred_probe_timeout default a Kconfig optionCode using driver_deferred_probe_check_state() differs from mostEPROBE_DEFER handling in the kernel. Where other EPROBE_DEFER handling(e.g. clks, gpios and regulators) waits indefinitely for suppliers toshow up, code using driver_deferred_probe_check_state() will failafter the deferred_probe_timeout.This is a problem for generic distro kernels which want to support manyboards using a single kernel build. These kernels want as much drivers tobe modular as possible. The initrd also should be as small as possible,so the initrd will *not* have drivers not needing to get the rootfs.Combine this with waiting for a full-disk encryption password inthe initrd and it is pretty much guaranteed that the default 10s timeoutwill be hit, causing probe() failures when drivers on the rootfs happento get modprobe-d before other rootfs modules providing their suppliers.Make the default timeout configurable from Kconfig to allow distro kernelconfigs where many of the supplier drivers are modules to set the defaultthrough Kconfig.Reviewed-by: Saravana Kannan Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260314084916.10868-1-johannes.goede@oss.qualcomm.com[ Drop deferred_probe_timeout documentation change in kernel-parameters.txt. - Danilo ]Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich List of files: /linux/drivers/base/Kconfig

Revert "revocable: Add Kunit test cases"This reverts commit cd7693419bb5abd91ad2f407dab69c480e417a61.The new revocable functionality is fundamentally broken and at a minimumneeds to be redesigned.Drop the revocable Kunit tests to allow the implementation to be reverted.Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260204142849.22055-3-johan@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux/drivers/base/Kconfig

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 13:30:37 +0100

driver core: disable revocable code from buildThe revocable code is still under active discussion, and there is noin-kernel users of it. So disable it from the build for now so that noone suffers from it being present in the tree, yet leave it in thesource tree so that others can easily test it by reverting this commitand building off of it for future releases.Acked-by: Danilo Krummrich Link: https://patch.msgid.link/2026020307-rimmed-dreamy-5a67@gregkhReviewed-by: Tzung-Bi Shih Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux/drivers/base/Kconfig

revocable: Add Kunit test casesAdd Kunit test cases for the revocable API.The test cases cover the following scenarios:- Basic: Verifies that a consumer can successfully access the resource provided via the provider.- Revocation: Verifies that after the provider revokes the resource, the consumer correctly receives a NULL pointer on a subsequent access.- Try Access Macro: Same as "Revocation" but uses the REVOCABLE_TRY_ACCESS_WITH() and REVOCABLE_TRY_ACCESS_SCOPED().A way to run the test:$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \ --kconfig_add CONFIG_REVOCABLE_KUNIT_TEST=y \ revocable_testSigned-off-by: Tzung-Bi Shih Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260116080235.350305-3-tzungbi@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman List of files: /linux/drivers/base/Kconfig
