This can yield nice 7-12% performance improvements - Support for integrity data for ublk - Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of selftests additions and updated - Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the block layer to above it. This reduces the complexity of dealing with bio splitting - Series fixing a number of potential deadlocks in blk-mq related to the queue usage counter and writeback throttling and rq-qos debugfs handling - Add an async_depth queue attribute, to resolve a performance regression that's been around for a qhilw related to the scheduler depth handling - Only use task_work for IOPOLL completions on NVMe, if it is necessary to do so. An earlier fix for an issue resulted in all these completions being punted to task_work, to guarantee that completions were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that ring.

2026-01-09dmaengine: idxd: Expose DSA3.0 capabilities through sysfsYi Sun1-0/+15
Introduce sysfs interfaces for 3 new Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA) capability registers (dsacap0-2) to enable userspace awareness of hardware features in DSA version 3 and later devices. Userspace components (e.g. configure libraries, workload Apps) require this information to: 1. Select optimal data transfer strategies based on SGL capabilities 2. Enable hardware-specific optimizations for floating-point operations 3. Configure memory operations with proper numerical handling 4. Verify compute operation compatibility before submitting jobs The output format is <dsacap2>,<dsacap1>,<dsacap0>, where each DSA capability value is a 64-bit hexadecimal number, separated by commas. The ordering follows the DSA 3.0 specification layout: Offset: 0x190 0x188 0x180 Reg: dsacap2 dsacap1 dsacap0 Example: cat /sys/bus/dsa/devices/dsa0/dsacaps 000000000000f18d,0014000e000007aa,00fa01ff01ff03ff According to the DSA 3.0 specification, there are 15 fields defined for the three dsacap registers. However, there's no need to define all register structures unless a use case requires them. At this point, support for the Scatter-Gather List (SGL) located in dsacap0 is necessary, so only dsacap0 is defined accordingly.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian) does some cleanup work in the selftests code. "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes) extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" feature. "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park) extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all possible user-requested parameters.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timekeeping and VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Introduce support for auxiliary timekeepers PTP clocks can be disconnected from the universal CLOCK_TAI reality for various reasons including regularatory requirements for functional safety redundancy. The kernel so far only supports a single notion of time, which means that all clocks are correlated in frequency and only differ by offset to each other. Access to non-correlated PTP clocks has been available so far only through the file descriptor based "POSIX clock IDs", which are subject to locking and have to go all the way out to the hardware. The access is not only horribly slow, as it has to go all the way out to the NIC/PTP hardware, but that also prevents the kernel to read the time of such clocks e.g. from the network stack, where it is required for TSN networking both on the transmit and receive side unless the hardware provides offloading. The auxiliary clocks provide a mechanism to support arbitrary clocks which are not correlated to the system clock. This is not restricted to the PTP use case on purpose as there is no kernel side association of these clocks to a particular PTP device because that's a pure user space configuration decision. Having them independent allows to utilize them for other purposes and also enables them to be tested without hardware dependencies. To avoid pointless overhead these clocks have to be enabled individualy via a new sysfs interface to reduce the overhead to a single compare in the hotpath if they are enabled at the Kconfig level at all. These clocks utilize the existing timekeeping/NTP infrastructures, which has been made possible over the recent releases by incrementaly converting these infrastructures over from a single static instance to a multi-instance pointer based implementation without any performance regression reported. The auxiliary clocks provide the same "emulation" of a "correct" clock as the existing CLOCK_* variants do with an independent instance of data and provide the same steering mechanism through the existing sys_clock_adjtime() interface, which has been confirmed to work by the chronyd(8) maintainer. That allows to provide lockless kernel internal and VDSO support so that applications and kernel internal functionalities can access these clocks without restrictions and at the same performance as the existing system clocks. - Avoid double notifications in the adjtimex() syscall. Not a big issue, but a trivial to avoid latency source. * tag 'timers-ptp-2025-07-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (39 commits) vdso/gettimeofday: Add support for auxiliary clocks vdso/vsyscall: Update auxiliary clock data in the datapage vdso: Introduce aux_clock_resolution_ns() vdso/gettimeofday: Introduce vdso_get_timestamp() vdso/gettimeofday: Introduce vdso_set_timespec() vdso/gettimeofday: Introduce vdso_clockid_valid() vdso/gettimeofday: Return bool from clock_gettime() helpers vdso/gettimeofday: Return bool from clock_getres() helpers vdso/helpers: Add helpers for seqlocks of single vdso_clock vdso/vsyscall: Split up __arch_update_vsyscall() into __arch_update_vdso_clock() vdso/vsyscall: Introduce a helper to fill clock configurations timekeeping: Remove the temporary CLOCK_AUX workaround timekeeping: Provide ktime_get_clock_ts64() timekeeping: Provide interface to control auxiliary clocks timekeeping: Provide update for auxiliary timekeepers timekeeping: Provide adjtimex() for auxiliary clocks timekeeping: Prepare do_adtimex() for auxiliary clocks timekeeping: Make do_adjtimex() reusable timekeeping: Add auxiliary clock support to __timekeeping_inject_offset() timekeeping: Make timekeeping_inject_offset() reusable ...
2025-07-19mm: introduce per-node proactive reclaim interfaceDavidlohr Bueso1-0/+9
This adds support for allowing proactive reclaim in general on a NUMA system. A per-node interface extends support for beyond a memcg-specific interface, respecting the current semantics of memory.reclaim: respecting aging LRU and not supporting artificially triggering eviction on nodes belonging to non-bottom tiers. This patch allows userspace to do: echo "512M swappiness=10" > /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/reclaim One of the premises for this is to semantically align as best as possible with memory.reclaim. During a brief time memcg did support nodemask until 55ab834a86a9 (Revert "mm: add nodes= arg to memory.reclaim"), for which semantics around reclaim (eviction) vs demotion were not clear, rendering charging expectations to be broken. With this approach: 1. Users who do not use memcg can benefit from proactive reclaim. The memcg interface is not NUMA aware and there are usecases that are focusing on NUMA balancing rather than workload memory footprint. 2. Proactive reclaim on top tiers will trigger demotion, for which memory is still byte-addressable. Reclaiming on the bottom nodes will trigger evicting to swap (the traditional sense of reclaim). This follows the semantics of what is today part of the aging process on tiered memory, mirroring what every other form of reclaim does (reactive and memcg proactive reclaim). Furthermore per-node proactive reclaim is not as susceptible to the memcg charging problem mentioned above. 3. Unlike the nodes= arg, this interface avoids confusing semantics, such as what exactly the user wants when mixing top-tier and low-tier nodes in the nodemask. Further per-node interface is less exposed to "free up memory in my container" usecases, where eviction is intended. 4. Users that *really* want to free up memory can use proactive reclaim on nodes knowingly to be on the bottom tiers to force eviction in a natural way - higher access latencies are still better than swap. If compelled, while no guarantees and perhaps not worth the effort, users could also also potentially follow a ladder-like approach to eventually free up the memory. Alternatively, perhaps an 'evict' option could be added to the parameters for both memory.reclaim and per-node interfaces to force this action unconditionally.

2025-06-23block: introduce max_{hw|user}_wzeroes_unmap_sectors to queue limitsZhang Yi1-0/+33
Currently, disks primarily implement the write zeroes command (aka REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES) through two mechanisms: the first involves physically writing zeros to the disk media (e.g., HDDs), while the second performs an unmap operation on the logical blocks, effectively putting them into a deallocated state (e.g., SSDs). The first method is generally slow, while the second method is typically very fast. For example, on certain NVMe SSDs that support NVME_NS_DEAC, submitting REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES requests with the NVME_WZ_DEAC bit can accelerate the write zeros operation by placing disk blocks into a deallocated state, which opportunistically avoids writing zeroes to media while still guaranteeing that subsequent reads from the specified block range will return zeroed data. This is a best-effort optimization, not a mandatory requirement, some devices may partially fall back to writing physical zeroes due to factors such as misalignment or being asked to clear a block range smaller than the device's internal allocation unit. Therefore, the speed of this operation is not guaranteed. It is difficult to determine whether the storage device supports unmap write zeroes operation. We cannot determine this by only querying bdev_limits(bdev)->max_write_zeroes_sectors. Therefore, first, add a new hardware queue limit parameters, max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors, to indicate whether a device supports this unmap write zeroes operation. Then, add two new counterpart software queue limits, max_wzeroes_unmap_sectors and max_user_wzeroes_unmap_sectors, which allow users to disable this operation if the speed is very slow on some sepcial devices. Finally, for the stacked devices cases, initialize these two parameters to UINT_MAX. This operation should be enabled by both the stacking driver and all underlying devices. Thanks to Martin K. Petersen for optimizing the documentation of the write_zeroes_unmap sysfs interface.
