2025-11-06slab: prevent infinite loop in kmalloc_nolock() with debuggingVlastimil Babka1-1/+5
In review of a followup work, Harry noticed a potential infinite loop. Upon closed inspection, it already exists for kmalloc_nolock() on a cache with debugging enabled, since commit af92793e52c3 ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock().") When alloc_single_from_new_slab() fails to trylock node list_lock, we keep retrying to get partial slab or allocate a new slab. If we indeed interrupted somebody holding the list_lock, the trylock fill fail deterministically and we end up allocating and defer-freeing slabs indefinitely with no progress. To fix it, fail the allocation if spinning is not allowed. This is acceptable in the restricted context of kmalloc_nolock(), especially with debugging enabled.

2025-10-24slab: Fix obj_ext mistakenly considered NULL due to race conditionHao Ge1-5/+11
If two competing threads enter alloc_slab_obj_exts(), and the one that allocates the vector wins the cmpxchg(), the other thread that failed allocation mistakenly assumes that slab->obj_exts is still empty due to its own allocation failure. This will then trigger warnings with CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG checks in the subsequent free path. Therefore, let's check the result of cmpxchg() to see if marking the allocation as failed was successful. If it wasn't, check whether the winning side has succeeded its allocation (it might have been also marking it as failed) and if yes, return success.

2025-10-23slab: fix slab accounting imbalance due to defer_deactivate_slab()Vlastimil Babka1-3/+5
Since commit af92793e52c3 ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock().") there's a possibility in alloc_single_from_new_slab() that we discard the newly allocated slab if we can't spin and we fail to trylock. As a result we don't perform inc_slabs_node() later in the function. Instead we perform a deferred deactivate_slab() which can either put the unacounted slab on partial list, or discard it immediately while performing dec_slabs_node(). Either way will cause an accounting imbalance. Fix this by not marking the slab as frozen, and using free_slab() instead of deactivate_slab() for non-frozen slabs in free_deferred_objects(). For CONFIG_SLUB_TINY, that's the only possible case. By not using discard_slab() we avoid dec_slabs_node(). Fixes: af92793e52c3 ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock().")

2025-10-21mm/damon/core: use damos_commit_quota_goal() for new goal commitSeongJae Park1-1/+1
When damos_commit_quota_goals() is called for adding new DAMOS quota goals of DAMOS_QUOTA_USER_INPUT metric, current_value fields of the new goals should be also set as requested. However, damos_commit_quota_goals() is not updating the field for the case, since it is setting only metrics and target values using damos_new_quota_goal(), and metric-optional union fields using damos_commit_quota_goal_union(). As a result, users could see the first current_value parameter that committed online with a new quota goal is ignored. Users are assumed to commit the current_value for DAMOS_QUOTA_USER_INPUT quota goals, since it is being used as a feedback. Hence the real impact would be subtle. That said, this is obviously not intended behavior. Fix the issue by using damos_commit_quota_goal() which sets all quota goal parameters, instead of damos_commit_quota_goal_union(), which sets only the union fields.

2025-10-21hugetlbfs: move lock assertions after early returns in huge_pmd_unshare()Deepanshu Kartikey1-3/+2
When hugetlb_vmdelete_list() processes VMAs during truncate operations, it may encounter VMAs where huge_pmd_unshare() is called without the required shareable lock. This triggers an assertion failure in hugetlb_vma_assert_locked(). The previous fix in commit dd83609b8898 ("hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list") skipped entire VMAs without shareable locks to avoid the assertion. However, this prevented pages from being unmapped and freed, causing a regression in fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE) operations where pages were not freed immediately, as reported by Mark Brown. Instead of checking locks in the caller or skipping VMAs, move the lock assertions in huge_pmd_unshare() to after the early return checks. The assertions are only needed when actual PMD unsharing work will be performed. If the function returns early because sz != PMD_SIZE or the PMD is not shared, no locks are required and assertions should not fire. This approach reverts the VMA skipping logic from commit dd83609b8898 ("hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list") while moving the assertions to avoid the assertion failure, keeping all the logic within huge_pmd_unshare() itself and allowing page unmapping and freeing to proceed for all VMAs.

2025-10-21mm/damon/core: fix list_add_tail() call on damon_call()SeongJae Park1-1/+1
Each damon_ctx maintains callback requests using a linked list (damon_ctx->call_controls). When a new callback request is received via damon_call(), the new request should be added to the list. However, the function is making a mistake at list_add_tail() invocation: putting the new item to add and the list head to add it before, in the opposite order. Because of the linked list manipulation implementation, the new request can still be reached from the context's list head. But the list items that were added before the new request are dropped from the list. As a result, the callbacks are unexpectedly not invocated. Worse yet, if the dropped callback requests were dynamically allocated, the memory is leaked. Actually DAMON sysfs interface is using a dynamically allocated repeat-mode callback request for automatic essential stats update. And because the online DAMON parameters commit is using a non-repeat-mode callback request, the issue can easily be reproduced, like below. # damo start --damos_action stat --refresh_stat 1s # damo tune --damos_action stat --refresh_stat 1s The first command dynamically allocates the repeat-mode callback request for automatic essential stat update. Users can see the essential stats are automatically updated for every second, using the sysfs interface. The second command calls damon_commit() with a new callback request that was made for the commit. As a result, the previously added repeat-mode callback request is dropped from the list. The automatic stats refresh stops working, and the memory for the repeat-mode callback request is leaked. It can be confirmed using kmemleak. Fix the mistake on the list_add_tail() call.

2025-10-21mm/mremap: correctly account old mapping after MREMAP_DONTUNMAP remapLorenzo Stoakes1-9/+6
Commit b714ccb02a76 ("mm/mremap: complete refactor of move_vma()") mistakenly introduced a new behaviour - clearing the VM_ACCOUNT flag of the old mapping when a mapping is mremap()'d with the MREMAP_DONTUNMAP flag set. While we always clear the VM_LOCKED and VM_LOCKONFAULT flags for the old mapping (the page tables have been moved, so there is no data that could possibly be locked in memory), there is no reason to touch any other VMA flags. This is because after the move the old mapping is in a state as if it were freshly mapped. This implies that the attributes of the mapping ought to remain the same, including whether or not the mapping is accounted.

2025-10-21slab: Avoid race on slab->obj_exts in alloc_slab_obj_extsHao Ge1-3/+6
If two competing threads enter alloc_slab_obj_exts() and one of them fails to allocate the object extension vector, it might override the valid slab->obj_exts allocated by the other thread with OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL. This will cause the thread that lost this race and expects a valid pointer to dereference a NULL pointer later on.

2025-10-16slab: reset slab->obj_ext when freeing and it is OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAILHao Ge1-1/+8
If obj_exts allocation failed, slab->obj_exts is set to OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL, But we do not clear it when freeing the slab. Since OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL and MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS currently share the same bit position, during the release of the associated folio, a VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() check in folio_memcg_kmem() is triggered because the OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL flag was not cleared, causing it to be interpreted as a kmem folio (non-slab) with MEMCG_OBJEXTS_DATA flag set, which is invalid because MEMCG_OBJEXTS_DATA is supposed to be set only on slabs. Another problem that predates sharing the OBJEXTS_ALLOC_FAIL and MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS bits is that on configurations with is_check_pages_enabled(), the non-cleared bit in page->memcg_data will trigger a free_page_is_bad() failure "page still charged to cgroup" When freeing a slab, we clear slab->obj_exts if the obj_ext array has been successfully allocated. So let's clear it also when the allocation has failed.

2025-10-15mm: prevent poison consumption when splitting THPQiuxu Zhuo2-1/+5
When performing memory error injection on a THP (Transparent Huge Page) mapped to userspace on an x86 server, the kernel panics with the following trace. The expected behavior is to terminate the affected process instead of panicking the kernel, as the x86 Machine Check code can recover from an in-userspace #MC. mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: f Bank 3: bd80000000070134 mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffff8372f8bc> {memchr_inv+0x4c/0xf0} mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC afff7bbff88a ADDR 1d301b000 MISC 80 PPIN 1e741e77539027db mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:d06d0 TIME 1758093249 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 80000320 mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii' mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Data load in unrecoverable area of kernel Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal local machine check The root cause of this panic is that handling a memory failure triggered by an in-userspace #MC necessitates splitting the THP. The splitting process employs a mechanism, implemented in try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage(), which reads the pages in the THP to identify zero-filled pages. However, reading the pages in the THP results in a second in-kernel #MC, occurring before the initial memory_failure() completes, ultimately leading to a kernel panic. See the kernel panic call trace on the two #MCs. First Machine Check occurs // [1] memory_failure() // [2] try_to_split_thp_page() split_huge_page() split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() __folio_split() // [3] remap_page() remove_migration_ptes() remove_migration_pte() try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage() // [4] memchr_inv() // [5] Second Machine Check occurs // [6] Kernel panic [1] Triggered by accessing a hardware-poisoned THP in userspace, which is typically recoverable by terminating the affected process. [2] Call folio_set_has_hwpoisoned() before try_to_split_thp_page(). [3] Pass the RMP_USE_SHARED_ZEROPAGE remap flag to remap_page(). [4] Try to map the unused THP to zeropage. [5] Re-access pages in the hw-poisoned THP in the kernel. [6] Triggered in-kernel, leading to a panic kernel. In Step[2], memory_failure() sets the poisoned flag on the page in the THP by TestSetPageHWPoison() before calling try_to_split_thp_page(). As suggested by David Hildenbrand, fix this panic by not accessing to the poisoned page in the THP during zeropage identification, while continuing to scan unaffected pages in the THP for possible zeropage mapping. This prevents a second in-kernel #MC that would cause kernel panic in Step[4]. Thanks to Andrew Zaborowski for his initial work on fixing this issue.

defer_free() links pending objects using the slab's freelist offset which is fine as they are not free yet. free_deferred_objects() then clears this pointer to avoid confusing the debugging consistency checks that may be enabled for the cache. However, with CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED, even the NULL pointer needs to be encoded appropriately using set_freepointer(), otherwise it's decoded as something else and triggers the consistency checks, as found by the kernel test robot.

The problem is due to a wrong assumption that memoryless nodes only exist on systems with CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES, where numa_mem_id() points to the nearest node that has memory. SLUB has been allocating its kmem_cache_node structures only on nodes with memory and so it does with struct node_barn. For kmem_cache_node, get_partial_node() checks if get_node() result is not NULL, which I assumed was for protection from a bogus node id passed to kmalloc_node() but apparently it's also for systems where numa_mem_id() (used when no specific node is given) might return a memoryless node. Fix the sheaves code the same way by checking the result of get_node() and bailing out if it's NULL. Note that cpus on such memoryless nodes will have degraded sheaves performance, which can be improved later, preferably by making numa_mem_id() work properly on such systems.

2025-10-07mm/damon/vaddr: do not repeat pte_offset_map_lock() until successSeongJae Park1-6/+2
DAMON's virtual address space operation set implementation (vaddr) calls pte_offset_map_lock() inside the page table walk callback function. This is for reading and writing page table accessed bits. If pte_offset_map_lock() fails, it retries by returning the page table walk callback function with ACTION_AGAIN. pte_offset_map_lock() can continuously fail if the target is a pmd migration entry, though. Hence it could cause an infinite page table walk if the migration cannot be done until the page table walk is finished. This indeed caused a soft lockup when CPU hotplugging and DAMON were running in parallel. Avoid the infinite loop by simply not retrying the page table walk. DAMON is promising only a best-effort accuracy, so missing access to such pages is no problem.

2025-10-07mm/rmap: fix soft-dirty and uffd-wp bit loss when remapping zero-filled mTHP ↵Lance Yang1-5/+10
subpage to shared zeropage When splitting an mTHP and replacing a zero-filled subpage with the shared zeropage, try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage() currently drops several important PTE bits. For userspace tools like CRIU, which rely on the soft-dirty mechanism for incremental snapshots, losing the soft-dirty bit means modified pages are missed, leading to inconsistent memory state after restore. As pointed out by David, the more critical uffd-wp bit is also dropped. This breaks the userfaultfd write-protection mechanism, causing writes to be silently missed by monitoring applications, which can lead to data corruption. Preserve both the soft-dirty and uffd-wp bits from the old PTE when creating the new zeropage mapping to ensure they are correctly tracked.

2025-10-07mm/thp: fix MTE tag mismatch when replacing zero-filled subpagesLance Yang2-19/+4
When both THP and MTE are enabled, splitting a THP and replacing its zero-filled subpages with the shared zeropage can cause MTE tag mismatch faults in userspace. Remapping zero-filled subpages to the shared zeropage is unsafe, as the zeropage has a fixed tag of zero, which may not match the tag expected by the userspace pointer. KSM already avoids this problem by using memcmp_pages(), which on arm64 intentionally reports MTE-tagged pages as non-identical to prevent unsafe merging. As suggested by David[1], this patch adopts the same pattern, replacing the memchr_inv() byte-level check with a call to pages_identical(). This leverages existing architecture-specific logic to determine if a page is truly identical to the shared zeropage. Having both the THP shrinker and KSM rely on pages_identical() makes the design more future-proof, IMO. Instead of handling quirks in generic code, we just let the architecture decide what makes two pages identical.

2025-10-07memcg: skip cgroup_file_notify if spinning is not allowedShakeel Butt1-3/+4
Generally memcg charging is allowed from all the contexts including NMI where even spinning on spinlock can cause locking issues. However one call chain was missed during the addition of memcg charging from any context support. That is try_charge_memcg() -> memcg_memory_event() -> cgroup_file_notify(). The possible function call tree under cgroup_file_notify() can acquire many different spin locks in spinning mode. Some of them are cgroup_file_kn_lock, kernfs_notify_lock, pool_workqeue's lock. So, let's just skip cgroup_file_notify() from memcg charging if the context does not allow spinning. Alternative approach was also explored where instead of skipping cgroup_file_notify(), we defer the memcg event processing to irq_work [1]. However it adds complexity and it was decided to keep things simple until we need more memcg events with !allow_spinning requirement.

In slab_post_alloc_hook(), kmemleak check is skipped when gfpflags_allow_spinning() returns false since commit af92793e52c3 ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock().") Therefore, unconditionally calling kmemleak_not_leak() in alloc_slab_obj_exts() would trigger the following warning: kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xffff8881057f5000 as Grey Call Trace: alloc_slab_obj_exts+0x1b5/0x370 __alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook+0x9f/0x2d0 __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x1c4/0x5c0 __set_page_owner+0x10d/0x1c0 post_alloc_hook+0x84/0xf0 get_page_from_freelist+0x73b/0x1380 __alloc_frozen_pages_noprof+0x110/0x2c0 alloc_pages_mpol+0x44/0x140 alloc_slab_page+0xac/0x150 allocate_slab+0x78/0x3a0 ___slab_alloc+0x76b/0xed0 __slab_alloc.constprop.0+0x5a/0xb0 Add the allow_spin check in alloc_slab_obj_exts() to eliminate the above warning.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu arrays called sheaves. The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing. It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is unknown, but an upper bound is. Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(). (Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple tree changes) - Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts. Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov) - Various fixes and cleanups.

The logic in inode_do_switch_wbs() which sorts the inode into appropriate place in b_dirty list of the target wb however has linear complexity in the number of dirty inodes thus overall time complexity of switching all the inodes is quadratic leading to workers being pegged for hours consuming 100% of the CPU and switching inodes to the parent wb. Simple reproducer of the issue: FILES=10000 # Filesystem mounted with lazytime mount option MNT=/mnt/ echo "Creating files and switching timestamps" for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do mkdir $MNT/dir$j for (( i = 0; i < $FILES; i++ )); do echo "foo" >$MNT/dir$j/file$i done touch -a -t 202501010000 $MNT/dir$j/file* done wait echo "Syncing and flushing" sync echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches echo "Reading all files from a cgroup" mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1 || exit echo $$ >/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1/cgroup.procs || exit for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do cat /mnt/dir$j/file* >/dev/null & done wait echo "Switching wbs" # Now rmdir the cgroup after the script exits This can be solved by: - Avoiding contention on the wb->list_lock when switching inodes by running a single work item per wb and managing a queue of items switching to the wb - Allowing rescheduling when switching inodes over to a different cgroup to avoid softlockups - Maintaining the b_dirty list ordering instead of sorting it" * tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: writeback: Add tracepoint to track pending inode switches writeback: Avoid excessively long inode switching times writeback: Avoid softlockup when switching many inodes writeback: Avoid contention on wb->list_lock when switching inodes

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle. Features: - Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options. This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g., limit the memory size - Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2() Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets - Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has been constructed) This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include: * In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested containers would fail to mount procfs) But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot just one-shot this using mount(2) * Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in the pidns can interact with your container runtime process) While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind of unfortunate Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set using fsconfig(2): fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd); fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0); or classic mount(2) / mount(8): // mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid"); Cleanups: - Remove the last references to EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK - Make file_remove_privs_flags() static - Remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN when GFP_NOWAIT is used - Use try_cmpxchg() in start_dir_add() - Use try_cmpxchg() in sb_init_done_wq() - Replace offsetof() with struct_size() in ioctl_file_dedupe_range() - Remove vfs_ioctl() export - Replace rwlock() with spinlock in epoll code as rwlock causes priority inversion on preempt rt kernels - Make ns_entries in fs/proc/namespaces const - Use a switch() statement() in init_special_inode() just like we do in may_open() - Use struct_size() in dir_add() in the initramfs code - Use str_plural() in rd_load_image() - Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link() - Rename generic_delete_inode() to inode_just_drop() and generic_drop_inode() to inode_generic_drop() - Remove unused arguments from fcntl_{g,s}et_rw_hint() Fixes: - Document @name parameter for name_contains_dotdot() helper - Fix spelling mistake - Always return zero from replace_fd() instead of the file descriptor number - Limit the size for copy_file_range() in compat mode to prevent a signed overflow - Fix debugfs mount options not being applied - Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in minixfs - Verify the inode mode when loading it from disk in cramfs - Don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV If openat2() was called with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV it didn't traverse through automounts, but could still trigger them - Add FL_RECLAIM flag to show_fl_flags() macro so it appears in tracepoints - Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390 - Make INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD - Use ns_capable_noaudit() when determining net sysctl permissions - Don't call path_put() under namespace semaphore in listmount() and statmount()" * tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (38 commits) fcntl: trim arguments listmount: don't call path_put() under namespace semaphore statmount: don't call path_put() under namespace semaphore pid: use ns_capable_noaudit() when determining net sysctl permissions fs: rename generic_delete_inode() and generic_drop_inode() init: INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME should depend on BLK_DEV_INITRD initramfs: Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in find_link() initrd: Use str_plural() in rd_load_image() initramfs: Use struct_size() helper to improve dir_add() initrd: Fix unused variable warning in rd_load_image() on s390 fs: use the switch statement in init_special_inode() fs/proc/namespaces: make ns_entries const filelock: add FL_RECLAIM to show_fl_flags() macro eventpoll: Replace rwlock with spinlock selftests/proc: add tests for new pidns APIs procfs: add "pidns" mount option pidns: move is-ancestor logic to helper openat2: don't trigger automounts with RESOLVE_NO_XDEV namei: move cross-device check to __traverse_mounts namei: remove LOOKUP_NO_XDEV check from handle_mounts ...
