(Akinobu Mita)   Miscellaneous DAMON fixups. - &quot;mm/damon/core: detect internal variation above max_nr_regions/2&quot;   (Jiayuan Chen)   Fix DAMON&apos;s region splitting behavior when region counts exceed half   the maximum budget by dynamically scaling down the split fraction as   the limit approaches, preventing large regions from staying un-split,   and add corresponding KUnit test coverage - &quot;mm: preparatory patches for PMD level swap entries&quot; (Usama Arif)   Refactor and clean up PMD softleaf helpers, call sites, and   architecture flags to lay the groundwork for a follow-up series that   introduces PMD page table swap entries - &quot;mm/damon: update, optimize, and clean up doc, tests, and code&quot; (SJ   Park)   Update DAMON design and ABI documentation, expands unit and selftest   coverage, optimize damon_commit_target_regions(), and clean up   recently added sysfs interface code for better readability - &quot;mm/vmpressure: reduce CPU, memory and code overhead on cgroup v2&quot;   (Usama Arif)   Optimize vmpressure() by skipping unnecessary work on cgroup v2 for   userspace event notifications and refactor v1-only eventfd handling   into mm/memcontrol-v1.c to reduce memory overhead and code complexity - &quot;selftests/mm: refactor pkey helpers and fix mmap error handling&quot;   (Hongfu Li)   Refactor pkeys shared tracing and assertion helpers into a common   file, unify protection key selftests to use consistent diagnostic   logging and assertions, and enforce standardized MAP_FAILED return   checks for mmap() calls across the tests - &quot;mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp&quot; (SJ Park)   Replace the error-prone, continuously updated nr_accesses_bp field in   damon_region with an on-demand moving sum function, reducing   structure memory overhead and avoiding state corruption bugs - &quot;Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic use&quot; (Ackerley Tng)   Decouple HugeTLB folio allocation from VMA dependencies by   introducing hugetlb_alloc_folio(), enabling subsystems like   guest_memfd to allocate HugeTLB folios without standard VMA   reservations or pseudo-VMAs - &quot;mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits&quot; (SJ Park)   Integrate DAMON&apos;s probe_hits attribute counter into the pseudo moving   sum infrastructure, enabling real-time, online monitoring without   waiting for full aggregation intervals - &quot;mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs&quot; (Brendan Jackman)   Simplify and refactor the page allocator entry points and flags by   unifying allocation paths, adding internal alloc_flags arguments, and   eliminating redundant __ prefixed alloc_pages variants. - &quot;Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries&quot; (Dev Jain)   Enforce the consistent use of huge_ptep_get() instead of ptep_get()   for HugeTLB entries and fixes an unaligned address issue in arm64&apos;s   huge_ptep_get() implementation - &quot;mm/damon: validate all parameters in the core&quot; (SJ Park)   Consolidate parameter validation into the DAMON core specifically   within damon_start() and damon_commit_ctx() to centralize error   checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve   maintenance efficiency - &quot;tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and cleanup issues&quot; (Yichong   Chen)   Rename is_need() to filter_record() for clearer return semantics, fix   per-record allocation memory leaks and bound output copies in   search_pattern() to address an existing buffer issue - &quot;memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying&quot; (Jiayuan Chen)   Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed   while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim - &quot;mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages&quot; (Breno   Leitao)   Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl   that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in   kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,   silent data corruption - &quot;mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error   handling&quot; (SJ Park)   Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts   are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()   fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side   cleanup code - &quot;Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split&quot; (Zi Yan)   Add checks to ensure tail_page-&gt;private is zero when freeing compound   or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio   splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows   the removal of redundant private field clearing inside   prep_compound_tail() - &quot;mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths&quot; (Barry   Song)   Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in   wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock   contention and system overhead   By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining   and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a   30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - &quot;mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations&quot; (Jianyue Wu)   Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state   to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving   MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - &quot;userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory&quot; (Kiryl   Shutsemau)   Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest   memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to   tiered or remote storage - &quot;mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)&quot; (David   Hildenbrand)   Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,   performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap   pages on the way. - &quot;mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits&quot; (SJ Park)   Ensure that DAMON&apos;s probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated   when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the   behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames   existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to   probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to   maintain measurement accuracy. - &quot;KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm&quot; (xu xin)   Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where   thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock   contention.   By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it   reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to   under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under   memory pressure. - &quot;mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h&quot; (Mike Rapoport)   Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse   into new headers - &quot;KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()&quot; (xu xin)   Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to   collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during   KSM memory error handling.   It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the   anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,   reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - &quot;selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests&quot; (Sayali   Patil)   Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can   report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not   satisfied - &quot;mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring&quot; (SJ Park)   Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing   users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or   cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.   By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely   disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on   weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for   attribute-focused workloads. - &quot;mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings&quot;   (Stanislav Kinsburskii)   Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by   allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new   hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.   By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock   release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd   regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - &quot;mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent&quot; (Lorenzo Stoakes)   Clean up and standardize how vma-&gt;vm_pgoff is accessed and   manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel   It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),   vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while   renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their   functionality.   These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that   will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW&apos;d   folios. - &quot;mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks&quot; (Usama Arif)   Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk   callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries   created during HMM migrations   It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()   properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present   THP or a standard migration entry. - &quot;mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one&quot; (Dev Jain)   Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,   anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated   functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous   large folio unmapping. - &quot;Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions&quot; (Song Hu)   Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI   document - &quot;dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs&quot; (Gregory Price)   Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM   infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing   entire memory regions   By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it   enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward   compatibility. - &quot;mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t&quot; (Lorenzo Stoakes)   Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type   to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.   It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),   unmapped area allocation, mm-&gt;def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like   mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - &quot;Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h&quot; (xu xin)   Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate   slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code   documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must   remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - &quot;mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields&quot; (SJ Park)   Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only   fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access   from outer layers.   It enforces encapsulation across core structures including   damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to   interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct   members. - &quot;mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races&quot;   (SJ Park)   Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race   conditions identified in DAMON   It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a   NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring   accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - &quot;mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP&quot; (Brendan   Jackman)   Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages   on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks   via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.   It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation   risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory   hotplug or large allocation frees. - &quot;mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups&quot; (Brendan   Jackman)   Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and   debug assertions.   It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public &quot;nolock&quot; naming   convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from   high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete   VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - &quot;mm/mseal: further cleanups&quot; (Lorenzo Stoakes)   Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API   boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.   It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a   dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,   eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only   to current-&gt;mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no   functional changes intended. - &quot;mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive   reclaim&quot; (Ridong Chen)   Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across   memory reclaim paths   It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so   unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page   cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead   of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete   gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - &quot;mm: mincore: misc cleanups&quot; (Kefeng Wang)   Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it   removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP   pages as non-resident. - &quot;mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants&quot; (Kiryl Shutsemau)   Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - &quot;mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation   bugs&quot; (SJ Park)   Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by   Sashiko. It initializes the damos-&gt;last_applied field to prevent   occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses   in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - &quot;cleanup for stable_page_flags()&quot; (Jinjiang Tu)   Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags   without altering functionality.   It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag   bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()   helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - &quot;Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios&quot; (Dev Jain)   Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within   userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching   capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().   This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in   try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function&apos;s control   flow and complexity. - &quot;mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()&quot;   (Sang-Heon Jeon)   Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of   __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after   early_ioremap_reset()   It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()   must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset   calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - &quot;mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode&quot; (Johannes Weiner)   Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious   OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta   production   It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation   requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at   pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather   than spinning unproductively. - &quot;zram: lockmap tweaks&quot; (Sebastian Siewior)   Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating   per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances   This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map   instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic   lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports   when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.* tag &apos;mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39&apos; of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits)  selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check  selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown  mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn()  mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro  mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate()  Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering  ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true  mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE  mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch()  zram: use a custom key for each zram object  zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table  selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message  mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode  mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator  mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests  mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction  hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked  mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions  mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes  mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling  ...

        <description>tools/testing/vma: add VMA userland tests for VMA flag functionsNow we have the capability to test the new helpers for the bitmap VMAflags in userland, do so.We also update the Makefile such that both VMA (and while we&apos;re here)mm_struct flag sizes can be customised on build.  We default to 128-bit toenable testing of flags above word size even on 64-bit systems.We add userland tests to ensure that we do not regress VMA flag behaviourwith the introduction when using bitmap VMA flags, nor accidentallyintroduce unexpected results due to for instance higher bit values notbeing correctly cleared/set.As part of this change, make __mk_vma_flags() a custom function so we canhandle specifying invalid VMA bits.  This is purposeful so we can have theVMA tests work at lower and higher number of VMA flags without having toduplicate code too much.Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/7fe6afe9c8c61e4d3cfc9a2d50a5d24da8528e68.1769097829.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.comSigned-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes &lt;lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com&gt;Reviewed-by: Liam R.

        <description>tools/testing/vma: separate out vma_internal.h into logical headersThe vma_internal.h file is becoming entirely unmanageable.  It combinesduplicated kernel implementation logic that needs to be kept in-sync withthe kernel, stubbed out declarations that we simply ignore for testingpurposes and custom logic added to aid testing.If we separate each of the three things into separate headers it makesthings far more manageable, so do so:* include/stubs.h  contains the stubbed declarations,* include/dup.h    contains the duplicated kernel declarations, and* include/custom.h contains declarations customised for testing.[lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com: avoid a duplicate struct define]  Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1e032732-61c3-485c-9aa7-6a09016fefc1@lucifer.localLink: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/dd57baf5b5986cb96a167150ac712cbe804b63ee.1769097829.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.comSigned-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes &lt;lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com&gt;Reviewed-by: Liam R.

        <description>tools/testing/vma: separate VMA userland tests into separate filesSo far the userland VMA tests have been established as a rough expressionof what&apos;s been possible.Adapt it into a more usable form by separating out tests and sharedhelper functions.Since we test functions that are declared statically in mm/vma.c, we makeuse of the trick of #include&apos;ing kernel C files directly.In order for the tests to continue to function, we must therefore alsothis way into the tests/ directory.We try to keep as much shared logic actually modularised into a separatecompilation unit in shared.c, however the merge_existing() andattach_vma() helpers rely on statically declared mm/vma.c functions sothese must be declared in main.c.Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/a0455ccfe4fdcd1c962c64f76304f612e5662a4e.1769097829.git.lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.comSigned-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes &lt;lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com&gt;Reviewed-by: Liam R.
