Also preparation for LUO - "Live Update Orchestrator" (Pasha Tatashin) is a major new feature targeted at cloud environments. Quoting the cover letter: This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition. As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec reboot. Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and testing work. - "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" (Sourabh Jain) moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/ to /sys/kernel/kexec/ and adds back-compatibility symlinks which can hopefully be removed one day - "kho: fixes for vmalloc restoration" (Mike Rapoport) fixes a BUG which was being hit during KHO restoration of vmalloc() regions * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-12-06-11-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (139 commits) calibrate: update header inclusion Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()" vmcoreinfo: track and log recoverable hardware errors kho: fix restoring of contiguous ranges of order-0 pages kho: kho_restore_vmalloc: fix initialization of pages array MAINTAINERS: TPM DEVICE DRIVER: update the W-tag init: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages Documentation/ABI: new kexec and kdump sysfs interface Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec test_kho: always print restore status kho: free chunks using free_page() instead of kfree() selftests/liveupdate: add kexec test for multiple and empty sessions selftests/liveupdate: add simple kexec-based selftest for LUO selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftests docs: add documentation for memfd preservation via LUO mm: memfd_luo: allow preserving memfd liveupdate: luo_file: add private argument to store runtime state mm: shmem: export some functions to internal.h ...

Change page_free to folio_free to make the folio support for zone device-private more consistent. The PCI P2PDMA callback has also been updated and changed to folio_free() as a result. For drivers that do not support folios (yet), the folio is converted back into page via &folio->page and the page is used as is, in the current callback implementation.

2025-11-20mm: add vma_start_write_killable()Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)1-1/+8
Patch series "vma_start_write_killable"", v2. When we added the VMA lock, we made a major oversight in not adding a killable variant. That can run us into trouble where a thread takes the VMA lock for read (eg handling a page fault) and then goes out to lunch for an hour (eg doing reclaim). Another thread tries to modify the VMA, taking the mmap_lock for write, then attempts to lock the VMA for write. That blocks on the first thread, and ensures that every other page fault now tries to take the mmap_lock for read. Because everything's in an uninterruptible sleep, we can't kill the task, which makes me angry. This patchset just adds vma_start_write_killable() and converts one caller to use it. Most users are somewhat tricky to convert, so expect follow-up individual patches per call-site which need careful analysis to make sure we've done proper cleanup. This patch (of 2): The vma can be held read-locked for a substantial period of time, eg if memory allocation needs to go into reclaim. It's useful to be able to send fatal signals to threads which are waiting for the write lock.

2025-09-21docs/mm: add document for swap tableChris Li2-0/+70
Patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)", v4. This is the first phase of the bigger series implementing basic infrastructures for the Swap Table idea proposed at the LSF/MM/BPF topic "Integrate swap cache, swap maps with swap allocator" [1]. To give credit where it is due, this is based on Chris Li's idea and a prototype of using cluster size atomic arrays to implement swap cache. This phase I contains 15 patches, introduces the swap table infrastructure and uses it as the swap cache backend. By doing so, we have up to ~5-20% performance gain in throughput, RPS or build time for benchmark and workload tests. The speed up is due to less contention on the swap cache access and shallower swap cache lookup path. The cluster size is much finer-grained than the 64M address space split, which is removed in this phase I. It also unifies and cleans up the swap code base. Each swap cluster will dynamically allocate the swap table, which is an atomic array to cover every swap slot in the cluster. It replaces the swap cache backed by XArray. In phase I, the static allocated swap_map still co-exists with the swap table. The memory usage is about the same as the original on average. A few exception test cases show about 1% higher in memory usage. In the following phases of the series, swap_map will merge into the swap table without additional memory allocation. It will result in net memory reduction compared to the original swap cache. Testing has shown that phase I has a significant performance improvement from 8c/1G ARM machine to 48c96t/128G x86_64 servers in many practical workloads. The full picture with a summary can be found at [2]. An older bigger series of 28 patches is posted at [3]. vm-scability test: ================== Test with: usemem --init-time -O -y -x -n 31 1G (4G memcg, PMEM as swap) Before: After: System time: 219.12s 158.16s (-27.82%) Sum Throughput: 4767.13 MB/s 6128.59 MB/s (+28.55%) Single process Throughput: 150.21 MB/s 196.52 MB/s (+30.83%) Free latency: 175047.58 us 131411.87 us (-24.92%) usemem --init-time -O -y -x -n 32 1536M (16G memory, global pressure, PMEM as swap) Before: After: System time: 356.16s 284.68s (-20.06%) Sum Throughput: 4648.35 MB/s 5453.52 MB/s (+17.32%) Single process Throughput: 141.63 MB/s 168.35 MB/s (+18.86%) Free latency: 499907.71 us 484977.03 us (-2.99%) This shows an improvement of more than 20% improvement in most readings. Build kernel test: ================== The following result matrix is from building kernel with defconfig on tmpfs with ZSWAP / ZRAM, using different memory pressure and setups. Measuring sys and real time in seconds, less is better (user time is almost identical as expected): -j<NR> / Mem | Sys before / after | Real before / after Using 16G ZRAM with memcg limit: 6 / 192M | 9686 / 9472 -2.21% | 2130 / 2096 -1.59% 12 / 256M | 6610 / 6451 -2.41% | 827 / 812 -1.81% 24 / 384M | 5938 / 5701 -3.37% | 414 / 405 -2.17% 48 / 768M | 4696 / 4409 -6.11% | 188 / 182 -3.19% With 64k folio: 24 / 512M | 4222 / 4162 -1.42% | 326 / 321 -1.53% 48 / 1G | 3688 / 3622 -1.79% | 151 / 149 -1.32% With ZSWAP with 3G memcg (using higher limit due to kmem account): 48 / 3G | 603 / 581 -3.65% | 81 / 80 -1.23% Testing extremely high global memory and schedule pressure: Using ZSWAP with 32G NVMEs in a 48c VM that has 4G memory, no memcg limit, system components take up about 1.5G already, using make -j48 to build defconfig: Before: sys time: 2069.53s real time: 135.76s After: sys time: 2021.13s (-2.34%) real time: 134.23s (-1.12%) On another 48c 4G memory VM, using 16G ZRAM as swap, testing make -j48 with same config: Before: sys time: 1756.96s real time: 111.01s After: sys time: 1715.90s (-2.34%) real time: 109.51s (-1.35%) All cases are more or less faster, and no regression even under extremely heavy global memory pressure. Redis / Valkey bench: ===================== The test machine is a ARM64 VM with 1536M memory 12 cores, Redis is set to use 2500M memory, and ZRAM swap size is set to 5G: Testing with: redis-benchmark -r 2000000 -n 2000000 -d 1024 -c 12 -P 32 -t get no BGSAVE with BGSAVE Before: 487576.06 RPS 280016.02 RPS After: 487541.76 RPS (-0.01%) 300155.32 RPS (+7.19%) Testing with: redis-benchmark -r 2500000 -n 2500000 -d 1024 -c 12 -P 32 -t get no BGSAVE with BGSAVE Before: 466789.59 RPS 281213.92 RPS After: 466402.89 RPS (-0.08%) 298411.84 RPS (+6.12%) With BGSAVE enabled, most Redis memory will have a swap count > 1 so swap cache is heavily in use. We can see a about 6% performance gain. No BGSAVE is very slightly slower (<0.1%) due to the higher memory pressure of the co-existence of swap_map and swap table. This will be optimzed into a net gain and up to 20% gain in BGSAVE case in the following phases. HDD swap is also ~40% faster with usemem because we removed an old contention workaround. This patch (of 15): Swap table is the new swap cache.

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.
