Commit ab04b530e7e8 ("mm: introduce copy-on-fork VMAs and make
VM_MAYBE_GUARD one") aggregates flags checks in vma_needs_copy(),
including VM_UFFD_WP.
However in doing so, it incorrectly performed this check against src_vma.
This check was done on the assumption that all relevant flags are copied
upon fork.
However the userfaultfd logic is very innovative in that it implements
custom logic on fork in dup_userfaultfd(), including a rather well hidden
case where lacking UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK causes VM_UFFD_WP to not be
propagated to the destination VMA.
And indeed, vma_needs_copy(), prior to this patch, did check this property
on dst_vma, not src_vma.
Since all the other relevant flags are copied on fork, we can simply fix
this by checking against dst_vma.
While we're here, we fix a comment against VM_COPY_ON_FORK (noting that it
did indeed already reference dst_vma) to make it abundantly clear that we
must check against the destination VMA.

Currently, folio_expected_ref_count() only adds references for the swap
cache if the folio is anonymous. However, according to the comment above
the definition of PG_swapcache in enum pageflags, shmem folios can also
have PG_swapcache set. This patch makes sure references for the swap
cache are added if folio_test_swapcache(folio) is true.
This issue was found when trying to hot-unplug memory in a QEMU/KVM
virtual machine. When initiating hot-unplug when most of the guest memory
is allocated, hot-unplug hangs partway through removal due to migration
failures. The following message would be printed several times, and would
be printed again about every five seconds:
[ 49.641309] migrating pfn b12f25 failed ret:7

[ 49.641315] page dumped because: migration failure
When debugging this, I found that these migration failures were due to
__migrate_folio() returning -EAGAIN for a small set of folios because the
expected reference count it calculates via folio_expected_ref_count() is
one less than the actual reference count of the folios. Furthermore, all
of the affected folios were not anonymous, but had the PG_swapcache flag
set, inspiring this patch. After applying this patch, the memory
hot-unplug behaves as expected.
I tested this on a machine running Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel version
6.8.0-90-generic and 64GB of memory. The guest VM is managed by libvirt
and runs Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel version 6.18 (though the head of the
mm-unstable branch as a Dec 16, 2025 was also tested and behaves the same)
and 48GB of memory. The libvirt XML definition for the VM can be found at
[1]. CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_MOVABLE is set in the guest
kernel so the hot-pluggable memory is automatically onlined.
Below are the steps to reproduce this behavior:
1) Define and start and virtual machine
host$ virsh -c qemu:///system define ./test_vm.xml # test_vm.xml from [1]
host$ virsh -c qemu:///system start test_vm
2) Setup swap in the guest
guest$ sudo fallocate -l 32G /swapfile
guest$ sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile
guest$ sudo mkswap /swapfile
guest$ sudo swapon /swapfile
3) Use alloc_data [2] to allocate most of the remaining guest memory
guest$ ./alloc_data 45
4) In a separate guest terminal, monitor the amount of used memory
guest$ watch -n1 free -h
5) When alloc_data has finished allocating, initiate the memory
hot-unplug using the provided xml file [3]
host$ virsh -c qemu:///system detach-device test_vm ./remove.xml --live
After initiating the memory hot-unplug, you should see the amount of
available memory in the guest decrease, and the amount of used swap data
increase. If everything works as expected, when all of the memory is
unplugged, there should be around 8.5-9GB of data in swap. If the
unplugging is unsuccessful, the amount of used swap data will settle below
that. If that happens, you should be able to see log messages in dmesg
similar to the one posted above.

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- klp-build livepatch module generation (Josh Poimboeuf)
Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
years of maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
preserve the original line numbers at compile time.

Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner:
"Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file
position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common
operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current
folio.
The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and
is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems:
- btrfs
- buffer
- ext4
- f2fs
- gfs2
- iomap
- netfs
- xfs
- mm
This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files
larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but
the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs,
they were just mildly inefficient.
This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent
commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on
64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit
systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures.
Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in
places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it
is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are
always unsigned regardless of architecture"

It is useful to transition to using a bitmap for VMA flags so we can avoid
running out of flags, especially for 32-bit kernels which are constrained
to 32 flags, necessitating some features to be limited to 64-bit kernels
only.
By doing so, we remove any constraint on the number of VMA flags moving
forwards no matter the platform and can decide in future to extend beyond
64 if required.
We start by declaring an opaque types, vma_flags_t (which resembles
mm_struct flags of type mm_flags_t), setting it to precisely the same size
as vm_flags_t, and place it in union with vm_flags in the VMA declaration.
We additionally update struct vm_area_desc equivalently placing the new
opaque type in union with vm_flags.
This change therefore does not impact the size of struct vm_area_struct or
struct vm_area_desc.
In order for the change to be iterative and to avoid impacting
performance, we designate VM_xxx declared bitmap flag values as those
which must exist in the first system word of the VMA flags bitmap.
We therefore declare vma_flags_clear_all(), vma_flags_overwrite_word(),
vma_flags_overwrite_word(), vma_flags_overwrite_word_once(),
vma_flags_set_word() and vma_flags_clear_word() in order to allow us to
update the existing vm_flags_*() functions to utilise these helpers.
This is a stepping stone towards converting users to the VMA flags bitmap
and behaves precisely as before.
By doing this, we can eliminate the existing private vma->__vm_flags field
in the vma->vm_flags union and replace it with the newly introduced opaque
type vma_flags, which we call flags so we refer to the new bitmap field as
vma->flags.
We update vma_flag_[test, set]_atomic() to account for the change also.
We adapt vm_flags_reset_once() to only clear those bits above the first
system word providing write-once semantics to the first system word (which
it is presumed the caller requires - and in all current use cases this is
so).
As we currently only specify that the VMA flags bitmap size is equal to
BITS_PER_LONG number of bits, this is a noop, but is defensive in
preparation for a future change that increases this.
We additionally update the VMA userland test declarations to implement the
same changes there.
Finally, we update the rust code to reference vma->vm_flags on update
rather than vma->__vm_flags which has been removed. This is safe for now,
albeit it is implicitly performing a const cast.
Once we introduce flag helpers we can improve this more.
No functional change intended.

Patch series "initial work on making VMA flags a bitmap", v3.
We are in the rather silly situation that we are running out of VMA flags
as they are currently limited to a system word in size.
This leads to absurd situations where we limit features to 64-bit
architectures only because we simply do not have the ability to add a flag
for 32-bit ones.
This is very constraining and leads to hacks or, in the worst case, simply
an inability to implement features we want for entirely arbitrary reasons.
This also of course gives us something of a Y2K type situation in mm where
we might eventually exhaust all of the VMA flags even on 64-bit systems.
This series lays the groundwork for getting away from this limitation by
establishing VMA flags as a bitmap whose size we can increase in future
beyond 64 bits if required.
This is necessarily a highly iterative process given the extensive use of
VMA flags throughout the kernel, so we start by performing basic steps.
Firstly, we declare VMA flags by bit number rather than by value,
retaining the VM_xxx fields but in terms of these newly introduced
VMA_xxx_BIT fields.
While we are here, we use sparse annotations to ensure that, when dealing
with VMA bit number parameters, we cannot be passed values which are not
declared as such - providing some useful type safety.
We then introduce an opaque VMA flag type, much like the opaque mm_struct
flag type introduced in commit bb6525f2f8c4 ("mm: add bitmap mm->flags
field"), which we establish in union with vma->vm_flags (but still set at
system word size meaning there is no functional or data type size change).
We update the vm_flags_xxx() helpers to use this new bitmap, introducing
sensible helpers to do so.
This series lays the foundation for further work to expand the use of
bitmap VMA flags and eventually eliminate these arbitrary restrictions.
This patch (of 4):
In order to lay the groundwork for VMA flags being a bitmap rather than a
system word in size, we need to be able to consistently refer to VMA flags
by bit number rather than value.
Take this opportunity to do so in an enum which we which is additionally
useful for tooling to extract metadata from.
This additionally makes it very clear which bits are being used for what
at a glance.
We use the VMA_ prefix for the bit values as it is logical to do so since
these reference VMAs. We consistently suffix with _BIT to make it clear
what the values refer to.
We declare bit values even when the flags that use them would not be
enabled by config options as this is simply clearer and clearly defines
what bit numbers are used for what, at no additional cost.
We declare a sparse-bitwise type vma_flag_t which ensures that users can't
pass around invalid VMA flags by accident and prepares for future work
towards VMA flags being a bitmap where we want to ensure bit values are
type safe.
To make life easier, we declare some macro helpers - DECLARE_VMA_BIT()
allows us to avoid duplication in the enum bit number declarations (and
maintaining the sparse __bitwise attribute), and INIT_VM_FLAG() is used to
assist with declaration of flags.
Unfortunately we can't declare both in the enum, as we run into issue with
logic in the kernel requiring that flags are preprocessor definitions, and
additionally we cannot have a macro which declares another macro so we
must define each flag macro directly.
Additionally, update the VMA userland testing vma_internal.h header to
include these changes.
We also have to fix the parameters to the vma_flag_*_atomic() functions
since VMA_MAYBE_GUARD_BIT is now of type vma_flag_t and sparse will
complain otherwise.
We have to update some rather silly if-deffery found in mm/task_mmu.c
which would otherwise break.
Finally, we update the rust binding helper as now it cannot auto-detect
the flags at all.

In a recent commit, I inadvertently changed a comparison from being an
unsigned comparison (on 64-bit systems) to being a signed comparison
(which it had always been on 32-bit systems). This led to a sporadic
fstests failure.
To make sure this comparison is always unsigned, introduce a new type,
uoff_t which is the unsigned version of loff_t. Generally file sizes
are restricted to being a signed integer, but in these two places it is
convenient to pass -1 to indicate "up to the end of the file".

Patch series "mm: Add soft-dirty and uffd-wp support for RISC-V", v15.
This patchset adds support for Svrsw60t59b [1] extension which is ratified
now, also add soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking for
RISC-V.
The patches 1 and 2 add macros to allow architectures to define their own
checks if the soft-dirty / uffd_wp PTE bits are available, in other words
for RISC-V, the Svrsw60t59b extension is supported on which device the
kernel is running. Also patch1-2 are removing "ifdef
CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of checks which if not overridden by
the architecture, no change in behavior is expected.
This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty,
madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass, and
no regressions are observed in any of the other tests.
This patch (of 6):
Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it
unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource.
Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations
to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is
running.
This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of
pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by the architecture,
no change in behavior is expected.
We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(),
so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.

Patch series "make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky VMA flag", v2.
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
Now we have the concept of making VMA flags 'sticky', that is that they
both don't prevent merge and, importantly, are propagated to merged VMAs,
this seems a sensible alternative to the existing special-casing of
VM_SOFTDIRTY.
We additionally add a self-test that demonstrates that this logic behaves
as expected.
This patch (of 2):
Currently we set VM_SOFTDIRTY when a new mapping is set up (whether by
establishing a new VMA, or via merge) as implemented in __mmap_complete()
and do_brk_flags().
However, when performing a merge of existing mappings such as when
performing mprotect(), we may lose the VM_SOFTDIRTY flag.
This is because currently we simply ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY for the purposes
of merge, so one VMA may possess the flag and another not, and whichever
happens to be the target VMA will be the one upon which the merge is
performed which may or may not have VM_SOFTDIRTY set.
Now we have the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags, let's make VM_SOFTDIRTY one
which solves this issue.
Additionally update VMA userland tests to propagate changes.

Gather all the VMA flags whose presence implies that page tables must be
copied on fork into a single bitmap - VM_COPY_ON_FORK - and use this
rather than specifying individual flags in vma_needs_copy().
We also add VM_MAYBE_GUARD to this list, as it being set on a VMA implies
that there may be metadata contained in the page tables (that is - guard
markers) which would will not and cannot be propagated upon fork.
This was already being done manually previously in vma_needs_copy(), but
this makes it very explicit, alongside VM_PFNMAP, VM_MIXEDMAP and
VM_UFFD_WP all of which imply the same.
Note that VM_STICKY flags ought generally to be marked VM_COPY_ON_FORK too
- because equally a flag being VM_STICKY indicates that the VMA contains
metadat that is not propagated by being faulted in - i.e. that the VMA
metadata does not fully describe the VMA alone, and thus we must propagate
whatever metadata there is on a fork.
However, for maximum flexibility, we do not make this necessarily the case
here.

It is useful to be able to designate that certain flags are 'sticky', that
is, if two VMAs are merged one with a flag of this nature and one without,
the merged VMA sets this flag.
As a result we ignore these flags for the purposes of determining VMA flag
differences between VMAs being considered for merge.
This patch therefore updates the VMA merge logic to perform this action,
with flags possessing this property being described in the VM_STICKY
bitmap.
Those flags which ought to be ignored for the purposes of VMA merge are
described in the VM_IGNORE_MERGE bitmap, which the VMA merge logic is also
updated to use.
As part of this change we place VM_SOFTDIRTY in VM_IGNORE_MERGE as it
already had this behaviour, alongside VM_STICKY as sticky flags by
implication must not disallow merge.
Ultimately it seems that we should make VM_SOFTDIRTY a sticky flag in its
own right, but this change is out of scope for this series.
The only sticky flag designated as such is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, so as a result
of this change, once the VMA flag is set upon guard region installation,
VMAs with guard ranges will now not have their merge behaviour impacted as
a result and can be freely merged with other VMAs without VM_MAYBE_GUARD
set.
Also update the comments for vma_modify_flags() to directly reference
sticky flags now we have established the concept.
We also update the VMA userland tests to account for the changes.

This patch adds the ability to atomically set VMA flags with only the mmap
read/VMA read lock held.
As this could be hugely problematic for VMA flags in general given that
all other accesses are non-atomic and serialised by the mmap/VMA locks, we
implement this with a strict allow-list - that is, only designated flags
are allowed to do this.
We make VM_MAYBE_GUARD one of these flags.
