Pull ntfs updates from Namjae Jeon:
"New features:
- Implement ioctls to list, read, write, and remove named streams on
files and directories. Provide optional file:stream pathname access
through streams_interface=windows, exposing streams as regular file
descriptors with support for mmap, locking, truncation, and
allocation.
- Support file attribute queries and updates through FS_IOC_GETFLAGS
and FS_IOC_SETFLAGS. Store immutable, append-only, nodump, and
noatime settings in the private $LINUXFLAGS extended attribute and
restore them when loading inodes. Also report compression,
encryption, and the mount-wide case-folding policy as read-only
attributes.
Other changes:
- Expose the existing NTFS volume serial number through FS_IOC_GETFSUUID
by registering it as an eight-byte filesystem identifier.
- Validate MFT I/O geometry and write MFT records and mirror data
through mapped I/O units, keeping neighboring records intact when
multiple records share a native 4Kn block. Track folio writeback
until all BIOs complete, serialize raw record updates against
writeback, and use the caller's requested completion mode.
- Discard stale uninitialized cache data before extending initialized
size, ensure shared mmap writes update initialized size after
native 4Kn size extension, and synchronize attribute inode sizes
after internal resizes. Keep VFS and NTFS sizes consistent when
write-error rollback fails and record the volume error.
- Wait for existing folio writeback before updating attribute data,
require page alignment for full-page write optimizations, and
include the final partial cluster in synchronous writes. Skip
duplicate VFS page-cache truncation under the MFT record lock to
avoid a truncate and writeback deadlock.
- Restart allocation zone searches after failed hints and prevent
contiguous allocation requests from returning additional disjoint
runs that callers leave uninitialized. Allow fallocate after
MFT-zone exhaustion and interrupt allocation loops only for fatal
signals, avoiding spurious interruptions from io_uring task-work
notifications.
- Wait for the initial bitmap scan before extending the MFT bitmap,
bound direct allocation candidates by the volume size, update
free-space accounting, and undo only newly allocated clusters after
run coalescing. Update attribute-list inode size before reserving
additional space.
- Hold runlist locks while expanding non-resident attributes, balance
locks during MFT extension error handling, and avoid pointers
invalidated by runlist reallocation. Keep source runlists available
for rollback and allocate enough room for runlist markers and
terminators.
- Return errors for unmappable runlist fragments instead of treating
them as holes or delayed allocation. Check non-resident attribute
sizes against their allocation and fail mounts when $MFT needs
extent records outside the decoded runlist to describe itself,
preventing silent zero reads and mount hangs.
- Load and validate $BadClus:$Bad at mount time and reserve known bad
clusters before the free-space scan. Fall back to read-only
operation when bad-cluster metadata cannot be validated and prevent
subsequent read-write remounts.
- Serialize volume flag updates and retain the dirty bit after
metadata changes while the volume remains mounted read-write.
Persist recorded errors after final metadata commits, fail ordinary
read-only remounts on sync, commit, or flush errors, and retain the
dirty bit on forced remounts.
- Flush the device write cache when syncing directories and report
flush failures from both file and directory fsync. Drain in-flight
direct I/O before buffered write fallback and keep nonblocking
requests from entering the blocking fallback path.
- Mount hibernated volumes, or volumes whose hibernation state cannot
be determined, read-only regardless of the errors= policy. Prevent
mount-time and dirty-state updates from modifying hibernated
volumes.
- Validate complete EA chains, link zero-terminated tails when
appending entries, retain the EA presence flag, and distinguish
empty values from removal. Propagate lookup, write, and truncate
errors, restore both EA attributes after failed updates, and shut
down the volume if restoration fails.
- Restore the previous ACL xattr when a subsequent WSL mode update
fails, including replacement and removal cases. Record rollback
failures so an unsuccessful permission change cannot silently leave
inconsistent ACL and mode state.
- Apply MST fixups to individual index blocks on large-page systems
and use fixed 512-byte VCN units when an index block is smaller
than its cluster. Support lookup and removal of POSIX names
containing Windows-invalid characters and identify directory
symlinks and junctions during enumeration.
- Report the stored creation time for symbolic links through statx()
when querying the link itself with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW.
- Use wider decompression offsets to avoid overflow on 64 KB pages,
accept the standard sparse compression unit, and require the
compressed-size field only on the first attribute extent. Block
direct reads and skip readahead for encrypted files to prevent
returning raw ciphertext.
- Validate index entry offsets, logfile update sequence array counts,
attribute-list sizes, and index collation key lengths to prevent
out-of-bounds accesses, NULL pointer dereferences, and excessive
allocations from corrupt volume metadata.
- Derive FITRIM bitmap indexes from the page size and retain the full
64-bit minimum discard length. Balance highmem mappings in logfile
and MFT mirror checks and propagate specific errors from extent,
attribute, and reparse operations.
- Compare streams_interface with the mounted volume's setting during
remount, make named-stream UAPI padding explicit, document stream
access and Linux file attributes, and add the NTFS UAPI header to
MAINTAINERS"

The kernel security documentation generalizes the existing per-object
access-rights framing into three restriction models (handled_access_*,
handled_permissions, scoped) and states criteria for choosing among
them, so future permission or scope additions have a documented place to
land.

NTFS supports multiple named $DATA attributes, commonly known as alternate
data streams. Add NTFS-specific ioctls to list, read, write, and remove
named streams through an opened base file or directory.
The UAPI provides separate commands for each operation.
- NTFS_IOC_STREAM_READ
- NTFS_IOC_STREAM_WRITE
- NTFS_IOC_STREAM_REMOVE
- NTFS_IOC_LIST_STREAMS
Read and write requests use struct ntfs_stream to specify the stream name,
byte offset, and transfer length. Writes create the stream if it does not
already exist. A write failure after creation may leave the new stream
visible. It is not rolled back because another caller may already have
opened it. Userspace can remove it with NTFS_IOC_STREAM_REMOVE.
The list command returns variable-length entries containing each named
stream's data size, allocated size, and name. If the buffer is too small,
the command returns -ENOSPC without copying entries. bytes_returned reports
the required buffer size, and stream_count reports the number of streams.
Stream names use the mounted filesystem NLS by default. Set
NTFS_STREAM_FL_UTF16 to pass or receive raw UTF-16LE names. In NLS mode,
names that cannot be represented by the mounted character set are omitted
from the list. Use UTF-16 mode for lossless enumeration. Read and write
transfers are limited to 16 MiB per request.

Internal sink pads will be used as routing endpoints in V4L2 [GS]_ROUTING
IOCTLs, to indicate that the stream begins in the entity. Internal sink
pads are pads that have both SINK and INTERNAL flags set.
Also prevent creating links to pads that have been flagged as internal and
initialising SOURCE pads with INTERNAL flag set.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull 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.

Patch series "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP", v8.
Currently, memory allocation profiling data is primarily exposed through
/proc/allocinfo. While useful for manual inspection, this text-based
interface poses challenges for production monitoring and large-scale
analysis:
1. Userspace must parse large amounts of text to extract specific
fields.
2. To find specific tags, userspace must read the entire dataset,
requiring many context switches and high data copying.
3. The kernel currently aggregates per-CPU counters for every allocation
size, even those the user intends to filter out immediately.
This series introduces a new IOCTL-based binary interface for allocinfo
that supports kernel-side filtering. By allowing the user to specify a
filter mask, we significantly reduce the work performed in-kernel and the
amount of data transferred to userspace. The IOCTL mechanism was chosen
for allocinfo to address the per-CPU counter aggregation bottleneck. A
traditional read() operation must report the total allocation count and
sizes for every code tag in the system. Doing so requires iterating
across all CPUs to sum their per-CPU counters for thousands of tags, which
introduces substantial runtime overhead.
The IOCTL interface allows userspace to push selective filtering criteria
directly into the kernel before the per-CPU counter aggregation. The
kernel aggregates per-CPU counters only for a small subset of tags that
match the filter. This results in significant performance improvement.
Beyond fast filtered retrieval, the IOCTL foundation allows introducing a
context capture mechanism in the future to capture the context for
specific allocations.
Performance measurements were conducted on an Intel Xeon Platinum 8481C
(224 CPUs) with caches dropped before each run.
The IOCTL mechanism shows a ~20x performance improvement for
filtered queries. The kernel avoids the expensive per-CPU counter
aggregation (alloc_tag_read) for any tags that fail the initial string
or location filters.
Scenario 1: Specific File Filtering (arch/x86/events/rapl.c)
1. Traditional (cat /proc/allocinfo | grep): 22ms (sys)
2. IOCTL Interface: 1ms (sys)
Scenario 2: Compound Filtering (Filename + Size)
1. Traditional: (cat ... | grep | awk): 21ms (sys)
2. IOCTL Interface: 1ms (sys)
Scenario 3: Size-Based Filtering (min_size = 1MB)
1. Traditional: (cat ... | awk): 21ms (sys)
2. IOCTL Interface: 14ms (sys)
This patch (of 6):
Add the following ioctl commands for /proc/allocinfo file:
ALLOCINFO_IOC_CONTENT_ID - gets content identifier which can be used to
check whether the file content has changed specifically due to module
load/unload. Every time a module is loaded / unloaded, the returned value
will be different. By comparing the identifier value at the beginning and
at the end of the content retrieval operation, users can validate
retrieved information for consistency.
ALLOCINFO_IOC_GET_AT - gets the record at the specified position. This is
the position of a record in /proc/allocinfo.
ALLOCINFO_IOC_GET_NEXT - gets the record next to the last retrieved one.
If no records were previously retrieved, returns the first record.
Note, function file and module names often have the same prefixes,
therefore when filtering for them, we compare the last 64 characters to
minimize the chances of name collisions.

fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
cleanup code
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add checks to ensure tail_page->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()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (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
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON'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.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (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.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (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.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (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
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (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.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(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.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->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'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (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.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (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.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (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.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (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->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (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.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (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.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(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.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (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.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (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->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (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().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always |
