[PATCH RFC v7 0/8] Add NUMA mempolicy support for KVM guest-memfd

by Shivank Garg

KVM's guest-memfd memory backend currently lacks support for NUMA policy enforcement, causing guest memory allocations to be distributed arbitrarily across host NUMA nodes regardless of the policy specified by the VMM. This occurs because conventional userspace NUMA control mechanisms like mbind() are ineffective with guest-memfd, as the memory isn't directly mapped to userspace when allocations occur. This patch-series adds NUMA-aware memory placement for guest_memfd backed KVM guests. Based on community feedback, the approach has evolved as follows: - v1,v2: Extended the KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD IOCTL to pass mempolicy. - v3: Introduced fbind() syscall for VMM memory-placement configuration. - v4-v6: Current approach using shared_policy support and vm_ops (based on suggestions from David[1] and guest_memfd biweekly upstream calls[2][4]). - v7: Use inodes to store NUMA policy instead of file[5]. == Implementation == This series implements proper NUMA policy support for guest-memfd by: 1. Adding mempolicy-aware allocation APIs to the filemap layer. 2. Add custom inodes (via a dedicated slab-allocated inode cache, kvm_gmem_inode_info) to store NUMA policy and metadata for guest memory. 3. Implementing get/set_policy vm_ops in guest_memfd to support shared policy. With these changes, VMMs can now control guest memory placement by specifying: - Policy modes: default, bind, interleave, or preferred - Host NUMA nodes: List of target nodes for memory allocation Policies only affect future allocations and do not migrate existing memory. This matches mbind(2)'s default behavior which affects only new allocations unless overridden with MPOL_MF_MOVE/MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL flags (Not supported for guest_memfd as it is unmovable). This series builds on the existing guest-memfd support in KVM and provides a clean integration path for NUMA-aware memory management in confidential computing environments. The work is primarily focused on supporting SEV-SNP requirements, though the benefits extend to any VMM using the guest-memfd backend that needs control over guest memory placement. == Example usage with QEMU (requires patched QEMU from [3]) == Snippet of the QEMU changes[3] needed to support this feature: /* Create and map guest-memfd region */ new_block->guest_memfd = kvm_create_guest_memfd( new_block->max_length, 0, errp); ... void *ptr_memfd = mmap(NULL, new_block->max_length, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, new_block->guest_memfd, 0); ... /* Apply NUMA policy */ int ret = mbind(ptr_memfd, new_block->max_length, backend->policy, backend->host_nodes, maxnode+1, 0); ... QEMU Command to run SEV-SNP guest with interleaved memory across nodes 0 and 1 of the host: $ qemu-system-x86_64 \ -enable-kvm \ ... -machine memory-encryption=sev0,vmport=off \ -object sev-snp-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=51,reduced-phys-bits=1 \ -numa node,nodeid=0,memdev=ram0,cpus=0-15 \ -object memory-backend-memfd,id=ram0,host-nodes=0-1,policy=interleave,size=1024M,share=true,prealloc=false == Experiment and Analysis == SEV-SNP enabled host, AMD Zen 3, 2 socket 2 NUMA node system NUMA for Policy Guest Node 0: policy=interleave, host-node=0-1 Test: Allocate and touch 50GB inside guest on node=0. * Generic Kernel (without NUMA supported guest-memfd): Node 0 Node 1 Total Before running Test: MemUsed 9981.60 3312.00 13293.60 After running Test: MemUsed 61451.72 3201.62 64653.34 Arbitrary allocations: all ~50GB allocated on node 0. * With NUMA supported guest-memfd: Node 0 Node 1 Total Before running Test: MemUsed 5003.88 3963.07 8966.94 After running Test: MemUsed 30607.55 29670.00 60277.55 Balanced memory distribution: Equal increase (~25GB) on both nodes. == Conclusion == Adding the NUMA-aware memory management to guest_memfd will make a lot of sense. Improving performance of memory-intensive and locality-sensitive workloads with fine-grained control over guest memory allocations, as pointed out in the analysis. Please review and provide feedback!

[PATCH v2 0/5] riscv: misaligned: fix interruptible context and add tests

by Clément Léger

This series fixes misaligned access handling when in non interruptible context by reenabling interrupts when possible. A previous commit changed raw_copy_from_user() with copy_from_user() which enables page faulting and thus can sleep. While correct, a warning is now triggered due to being called in an invalid context (sleeping in non-interruptible). This series fixes that problem by factorizing misaligned load/store entry in a single function than reenables interrupt if the interrupted context had interrupts enabled. In order for misaligned handling problems to be caught sooner, add a kselftest for all the currently supported instructions . Note: these commits were actually part of another larger series for misaligned request delegation but was split since it isn't directly required. V2: - Use an array of struct to simplify misaligned load/store selection - Revert use of irqentry_enter()/exit() to irqentry_nmi_enter() for kernel space. Clément Léger (5): riscv: misaligned: factorize trap handling riscv: misaligned: enable IRQs while handling misaligned accesses riscv: misaligned: use get_user() instead of __get_user() Documentation/sysctl: add riscv to unaligned-trap supported archs selftests: riscv: add misaligned access testing Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst | 4 +- arch/riscv/kernel/traps.c | 64 +++-- arch/riscv/kernel/traps_misaligned.c | 2 +- .../selftests/riscv/misaligned/.gitignore | 1 + .../selftests/riscv/misaligned/Makefile | 12 + .../selftests/riscv/misaligned/common.S | 33 +++ .../testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/fpu.S | 180 +++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/gp.S | 103 +++++++ .../selftests/riscv/misaligned/misaligned.c | 254 ++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 623 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/.gitignore create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/Makefile create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/common.S create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/fpu.S create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/gp.S create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/riscv/misaligned/misaligned.c -- 2.49.0

[PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: Improve VMware guest support

by Zack Rusin

This is the second version of a series that lets us run VMware Workstation on Linux on top of KVM. The most significant change in this series is the introduction of CONFIG_KVM_VMWARE which is, in general, a nice cleanup for various bits of VMware compatibility code that have been scattered around KVM. (first patch) The rest of the series builds upon the VMware platform to implement features that are needed to run VMware guests without any modifications on top of KVM: - ability to turn on the VMware backdoor at runtime on a per-vm basis (used to be a kernel boot argument only) - support for VMware hypercalls - VMware products have a huge collection of hypercalls, all of which are handled in userspace, - support for handling legacy VMware backdoor in L0 in nested configs - in cases where we have WS running a Windows VBS guest, the L0 would be KVM, L1 Hyper-V so by default VMware Tools backdoor calls endup in Hyper-V which can not handle them, so introduce a cap to let L0 handle those. The final change in the series is a kselftest of the VMware hypercall functionality.

[PATCH v11 net-next 0/5] DUALPI2 patch

by chia-yu.chang＠nokia-bell-labs.com

From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang(a)nokia-bell-labs.com> Hello, Please find the reposted DualPI2 patch v11. v11 (15-Apr-2025) - Replace hstimer_init with hstimer_setup in sch_dualpi2.c v10 (25-Mar-2025) - Remove leftover include in include/linux/netdevice.h and anonimous struct in sch_dualpi2.c (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) - Use kfree_skb_reason() and add SKB_DROP_REASON_DUALPI2_STEP_DROP drop reason (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) - Split sch_dualpi2.c into 3 patches (and overall 5 patches): Struct definition & parsing, Dump stats & configuration, Enqueue/Dequeue (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) v9 (16-Mar-2025) - Fix mem_usage error in previous version - Add min_qlen_step to dualpi2 attribute as the minimum queue length in number of packets in the L-queue to start step threshold marking. In previous versions, this value was fixed to 2, so only when the queue length of the L queue was greater or equal to 2 packets step threshold was applied to mark packets in the L-queue. This will cause larger queuing delays for L4S traffic at low rates (<20Mbps). So we parameterize it and change the default value to 0.

[PATCH v2] lib: PRIME_NUMBERS_KUNIT_TEST should not select PRIME_NUMBERS

by Geert Uytterhoeven

Enabling a (modular) test should not silently enable additional kernel functionality, as that may increase the attack vector of a product. Fix this by making PRIME_NUMBERS_KUNIT_TEST depend on PRIME_NUMBERS instead of selecting it. After this, one can safely enable CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=m to build modules for all appropriate tests for ones system, without pulling in extra unwanted functionality, while still allowing a tester to manually enable PRIME_NUMBERS and this test suite on a system where PRIME_NUMBERS is not enabled by default. Resurrect CONFIG_PRIME_NUMBERS=m in tools/testing/selftests/lib/config for the latter use case.

[PATCH v9 0/6] rust: reduce `as` casts, enable related lints

by Tamir Duberstein

This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3 lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other pointer casts weren't missed. As a later addition, `clippy::cast_lossless` and `clippy::ref_as_ptr` are also enabled. This series depends on "rust: retain pointer mut-ness in `container_of!`"[1].

[PATCH v7 0/2] memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures

by Waiman Long

v7: - Skip the vmscan change as the mem_cgroup_usage() check for now as it is currently redundant. v6: - The memcg_test_low failure is indeed due to the memory_recursiveprot mount option which is enabled by default in systemd cgroup v2 setting. So adopt Michal's suggestion to adjust the low event checking according to whether memory_recursiveprot is enabled or not. v5: - Use mem_cgroup_usage() in patch 1 as originally suggested by Johannes. The test_memcontrol selftest consistently fails its test_memcg_low sub-test (with memory_recursiveprot enabled) and sporadically fails its test_memcg_min sub-test. This patchset fixes the test_memcg_min and test_memcg_low failures by adjusting the test_memcontrol selftest to fix these test failures.

[PATCH 0/4] mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings

by Lorenzo Stoakes

The guard regions feature was initially implemented to support anonymous mappings only, excluding shmem. This was done such as to introduce the feature carefully and incrementally and to be conservative when considering the various caveats and corner cases that are applicable to file-backed mappings but not to anonymous ones. Now this feature has landed in 6.13, it is time to revisit this and to extend this functionality to file-backed and shmem mappings. In order to make this maximally useful, and since one may map file-backed mappings read-only (for instance ELF images), we also remove the restriction on read-only mappings and permit the establishment of guard regions in any non-hugetlb, non-mlock()'d mapping. It is permissible to permit the establishment of guard regions in read-only mappings because the guard regions only reduce access to the mapping, and when removed simply reinstate the existing attributes of the underlying VMA, meaning no access violations can occur. While the change in kernel code introduced in this series is small, the majority of the effort here is spent in extending the testing to assert that the feature works correctly across numerous file-backed mapping scenarios. Every single guard region self-test performed against anonymous memory (which is relevant and not anon-only) has now been updated to also be performed against shmem and a mapping of a file in the working directory. This confirms that all cases also function correctly for file-backed guard regions. In addition a number of other tests are added for specific file-backed mapping scenarios. There are a number of other concerns that one might have with regard to guard regions, addressed below: Readahead ~~~~~~~~~ Readahead is a process through which the page cache is populated on the assumption that sequential reads will occur, thus amortising I/O and, through a clever use of the PG_readahead folio flag establishing during major fault and checked upon minor fault, provides for asynchronous I/O to occur as dat is processed, reducing I/O stalls as data is faulted in. Guard regions do not alter this mechanism which operations at the folio and fault level, but do of course prevent the faulting of folios that would otherwise be mapped. In the instance of a major fault prior to a guard region, synchronous readahead will occur including populating folios in the page cache which the guard regions will, in the case of the mapping in question, prevent access to. In addition, if PG_readahead is placed in a folio that is now inaccessible, this will prevent asynchronous readahead from occurring as it would otherwise do. However, there are mechanisms for heuristically resetting this within readahead regardless, which will 'recover' correct readahead behaviour. Readahead presumes sequential data access, the presence of a guard region clearly indicates that, at least in the guard region, no such sequential access will occur, as it cannot occur there. So this should have very little impact on any real workload. The far more important point is as to whether readahead causes incorrect or inappropriate mapping of ranges disallowed by the presence of guard regions - this is not the case, as readahead does not 'pre-fault' memory in this fashion. At any rate, any mechanism which would attempt to do so would hit the usual page fault paths, which correctly handle PTE markers as with anonymous mappings. Fault-Around ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The fault-around logic, in a similar vein to readahead, attempts to improve efficiency with regard to file-backed memory mappings, however it differs in that it does not try to fetch folios into the page cache that are about to be accessed, but rather pre-maps a range of folios around the faulting address. Guard regions making use of PTE markers makes this relatively trivial, as this case is already handled - see filemap_map_folio_range() and filemap_map_order0_folio() - in both instances, the solution is to simply keep the established page table mappings and let the fault handler take care of PTE markers, as per the comment: /* * NOTE: If there're PTE markers, we'll leave them to be * handled in the specific fault path, and it'll prohibit * the fault-around logic. */ This works, as establishing guard regions results in page table mappings with PTE markers, and clearing them removes them. Truncation ~~~~~~~~~~ File truncation will not eliminate existing guard regions, as the truncation operation will ultimately zap the range via unmap_mapping_range(), which specifically excludes PTE markers. Zapping ~~~~~~~ Zapping is, as with anonymous mappings, handled by zap_nonpresent_ptes(), which specifically deals with guard entries, leaving them intact except in instances such as process teardown or munmap() where they need to be removed. Reclaim ~~~~~~~ When reclaim is performed on file-backed folios, it ultimately invokes try_to_unmap_one() via the rmap. If the folio is non-large, then map_pte() will ultimately abort the operation for the guard region mapping. If large, then check_pte() will determine that this is a non-device private entry/device-exclusive entry 'swap' PTE and thus abort the operation in that instance. Therefore, no odd things happen in the instance of reclaim being attempted upon a file-backed guard region. Hole Punching ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This updates the page cache and ultimately invokes unmap_mapping_range(), which explicitly leaves PTE markers in place. Because the establishment of guard regions zapped any existing mappings to file-backed folios, once the guard regions are removed then the hole-punched region will be faulted in as usual and everything will behave as expected.

[PATCH 0/5] riscv: misaligned: fix interruptible context and add tests

by Clément Léger

This series fixes misaligned access handling when in non interruptible context by reenabling interrupts when possible. A previous commit changed raw_copy_from_user() with copy_from_user() which enables page faulting and thus can sleep. While correct, a warning is now triggered due to being called in an invalid context (sleeping in non-interruptible). This series fixes that problem by factorizing misaligned load/store entry in a single function than reenables interrupt if the interrupted context had interrupts enabled. In order for misaligned handling problems to be caught sooner, add a kselftest for all the currently supported instructions . Note: these commits were actually part of another larger series for misaligned request delegation but was split since it isn't directly required.
