Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Since commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") a mmap() of anonymous memory without a specific address hint
and of at least PMD_SIZE will be aligned to PMD so that it can benefit
from a THP backing page.
However this change has been shown to regress some workloads
significantly. [1] reports regressions in various spec benchmarks, with
up to 600% slowdown of the cactusBSSN benchmark on some platforms. The
benchmark seems to create many mappings of 4632kB, which would have merged
to a large THP-backed area before commit efa7df3e3bb5 and now they are
fragmented to multiple areas each aligned to PMD boundary with gaps
between. The regression then seems to be caused mainly due to the
benchmark's memory access pattern suffering from TLB or cache aliasing due
to the aligned boundaries of the individual areas.
Another known regression bisected to commit efa7df3e3bb5 is darktable [2]
[3] and early testing suggests this patch fixes the regression there as
well.
To fix the regression but still try to benefit from THP-friendly anonymous
mapping alignment, add a condition that the size of the mapping must be a
multiple of PMD size instead of at least PMD size. In case of many
odd-sized mapping like the cactusBSSN creates, those will stop being
aligned and with gaps between, and instead naturally merge again.

When numa balancing is enabled with demotion, vmscan will call
migrate_pages when shrinking LRUs. migrate_pages will decrement the
the node's isolated page count, leading to an imbalanced count when
invoked from (MG)LRU code.
The result is dmesg output like such:
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh
[77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_anon -103212
[77383.088417] vmstat_refresh: nr_isolated_file -899642
This negative value may impact compaction and reclaim throttling.
The following path produces the decrement:
shrink_folio_list
demote_folio_list
migrate_pages
migrate_pages_batch
migrate_folio_move
migrate_folio_done
mod_node_page_state(-ve) <- decrement
This path happens for SUCCESSFUL migrations, not failures. Typically
callers to migrate_pages are required to handle putback/accounting for
failures, but this is already handled in the shrink code.
When accounting for migrations, instead do not decrement the count when
the migration reason is MR_DEMOTION. As of v6.11, this demotion logic
is the only source of MR_DEMOTION.

Some page flags (page->flags) were converted to page types
(page->page_types). A recent example is PG_hugetlb.
From the exclusive writer's perspective, e.g., a thread doing
__folio_set_hugetlb(), there is a difference between the page flag and
type APIs: the former allows the same non-atomic operation to be repeated
whereas the latter does not. For example, calling __folio_set_hugetlb()
twice triggers VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO(), since the second call expects the type
(PG_hugetlb) not to be set previously.
Using add_hugetlb_folio() as an example, it calls __folio_set_hugetlb() in
the following error-handling path. And when that happens, it triggers the
aforementioned VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO().
if (folio_test_hugetlb(folio)) {
rc = hugetlb_vmemmap_restore_folio(h, folio);
if (rc) {
spin_lock_irq(&hugetlb_lock);
add_hugetlb_folio(h, folio, false);
...
It is possible to make hugeTLB comply with the new requirements from the
page type API. However, a straightforward fix would be to just allow the
same page type to be set or cleared again inside the API, to avoid any
changes to its callers.

Syzbot reported that page_symlink(), called by nilfs_symlink(), triggers
memory reclamation involving the filesystem layer, which can result in
circular lock dependencies among the reader/writer semaphore
nilfs->ns_segctor_sem, s_writers percpu_rwsem (intwrite) and the
fs_reclaim pseudo lock.
This is because after commit 21fc61c73c39 ("don't put symlink bodies in
pagecache into highmem"), the gfp flags of the page cache for symbolic
links are overwritten to GFP_KERNEL via inode_nohighmem().
This is not a problem for symlinks read from the backing device, because
the __GFP_FS flag is dropped after inode_nohighmem() is called. However,
when a new symlink is created with nilfs_symlink(), the gfp flags remain
overwritten to GFP_KERNEL. Then, memory allocation called from
page_symlink() etc. triggers memory reclamation including the FS layer,
which may call nilfs_evict_inode() or nilfs_dirty_inode(). And these can
cause a deadlock if they are called while nilfs->ns_segctor_sem is held:
Fix this issue by dropping the __GFP_FS flag from the page cache GFP flags
of newly created symlinks in the same way that nilfs_new_inode() and
__nilfs_read_inode() do, as a workaround until we adopt nofs allocation
scope consistently or improve the locking constraints.

Syzbot reports a slab out of bounds access in squashfs_readpage_block().
This is caused by an attempt to read page index 0x2000000000. This value
(start_index) is stored in an integer loop variable which overflows
producing a value of 0. This causes a loop which iterates over pages
start_index -> end_index to iterate over 0 -> end_index, which ultimately
causes an out of bounds page array access.
Fix by changing variable to a loff_t, and rename to index to make it
clearer it is a page index, and not a loop count.

Commit 1a2473f0cbc0 ("kasan: improve vmalloc tests") added the
vmalloc_percpu KASAN test with the assumption that __alloc_percpu always
uses vmalloc internally, which is tagged by KASAN.
However, __alloc_percpu might allocate memory from the first per-CPU
chunk, which is not allocated via vmalloc(). As a result, the test might
fail.
Remove the test until proper KASAN annotation for the per-CPU allocated
are added; tracked in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215019.

When running low on usable slots, cluster allocator will try to reclaim
the full clusters aggressively to reclaim HAS_CACHE slots. This
guarantees that as long as there are any usable slots, HAS_CACHE or not,
the swap device will be usable and workload won't go OOM early.
Before the cluster allocator, swap allocator fails easily if device is
filled up with reclaimable HAS_CACHE slots. Which can be easily
reproduced with following simple program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <linux/mman.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define SIZE 8192UL * 1024UL * 1024UL
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
long tmp;
char *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
memset(p, 0, SIZE);
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
for (unsigned long i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i)
tmp += p[i];
getchar(); /* Pause */
return 0;
}
Setup an 8G non ramdisk swap, the first run of the program will swapout 8G
ram successfully. But run same program again after the first run paused,
the second run can't swapout all 8G memory as now half of the swap device
is pinned by HAS_CACHE. There was a random scan in the old allocator that
may reclaim part of the HAS_CACHE by luck, but it's unreliable.
The new allocator's added reclaim of full clusters when device is low on
usable slots. But when multiple CPUs are seeing the device is low on
usable slots at the same time, they ran into a thundering herd problem.
This is an observable problem on large machine with mass parallel
workload, as full cluster reclaim is slower on large swap device and
higher number of CPUs will also make things worse.
Testing using a 128G ZRAM on a 48c96t system. When the swap device is
very close to full (eg. 124G / 128G), running build linux kernel with
make -j96 in a 1G memory cgroup will hung (not a softlockup though)
spinning in full cluster reclaim for about ~5min before go OOM.
To solve this, split the full reclaim into two parts:
- Instead of do a synchronous aggressively reclaim when device is low,
do only one aggressively reclaim when device is strictly full with a
kworker. This still ensures in worst case the device won't be unusable
because of HAS_CACHE slots.
- To avoid allocation (especially higher order) suffer from HAS_CACHE
filling up clusters and kworker not responsive enough, do one synchronous
scan every time the free list is drained, and only scan one cluster. This
is kind of similar to the random reclaim before, keeps the full clusters
rotated and has a minimal latency. This should provide a fair reclaim
strategy suitable for most workloads.

When we compile and load lib/slub_kunit.c,it will cause a panic.
The root cause is that __kmalloc_cache_noprof was directly called instead
of kmem_cache_alloc,which resulted in no alloc_tag being allocated.This
caused current->alloc_tag to be null,leading to a null pointer dereference
in alloc_tag_ref_set.
Despite the fact that my colleague Pei Xiao will later fix the code in
slub_kunit.c,we still need fix null pointer check logic for ref and tag to
avoid panic caused by a null pointer dereference.
Here is the log for the panic:

If a driver tries to call any of the pin_user_pages*(FOLL_LONGTERM) family
of functions, and requests "too many" pages, then the call will
erroneously leave pages pinned. This is visible in user space as an
actual memory leak.
Repro is trivial: just make enough pin_user_pages(FOLL_LONGTERM) calls to
exhaust memory.
The root cause of the problem is this sequence, within
__gup_longterm_locked():
__get_user_pages_locked()
rc = check_and_migrate_movable_pages()
...which gets retried in a loop. The loop error handling is incomplete,
clearly due to a somewhat unusual and complicated tri-state error API.
But anyway, if -ENOMEM, or in fact, any unexpected error is returned from
check_and_migrate_movable_pages(), then __gup_longterm_locked() happily
returns the error, while leaving the pages pinned.
In the failed case, which is an app that requests (via a device driver)
30720000000 bytes to be pinned, and then exits, I see this:
$ grep foll /proc/vmstat
nr_foll_pin_acquired 7502048
nr_foll_pin_released 2048
And after applying this patch, it returns to balanced pins:
$ grep foll /proc/vmstat
nr_foll_pin_acquired 7502048
nr_foll_pin_released 7502048
Note that the child routine, check_and_migrate_movable_folios(), avoids
this problem, by unpinning any folios in the **folios argument, before
returning an error.
Fix this by making check_and_migrate_movable_pages() behave in exactly the
same way as check_and_migrate_movable_folios(): unpin all pages in
**pages, before returning an error.
Also, documentation was an aggravating factor, so:
1) Consolidate the documentation for these two routines, now that they
have identical external behavior.
2) Rewrite the consolidated documentation:
a) Clearly list the three return code cases, and what happens in
each case.
b) Mention that one of the cases unpins the pages or folios, before
returning an error code.

Commit 13ddaf26be32 ("mm/swap: fix race when skipping swapcache")
introduced an unconditional one-tick sleep when `swapcache_prepare()`
fails, which has led to reports of UI stuttering on latency-sensitive
Android devices. To address this, we can use a waitqueue to wake up tasks
that fail `swapcache_prepare()` sooner, instead of always sleeping for a
full tick. While tasks may occasionally be woken by an unrelated
`do_swap_page()`, this method is preferable to two scenarios: rapid
re-entry into page faults, which can cause livelocks, and multiple
millisecond sleeps, which visibly degrade user experience.
Oven's testing shows that a single waitqueue resolves the UI stuttering
issue. If a 'thundering herd' problem becomes apparent later, a waitqueue
hash similar to `folio_wait_table[PAGE_WAIT_TABLE_SIZE]` for page bit
locks can be introduced.
