[PATCH v2 0/2] iommu/vt-d: Skip dev-iotlb flush for inaccessible PCIe device

by Jinhui Guo

Hi, all We hit hard-lockups when the Intel IOMMU waits indefinitely for an ATS invalidation that cannot complete, especially under GDR high-load conditions. 1. Hard-lock when a passthrough PCIe NIC with ATS enabled link-down in Intel IOMMU non-scalable mode. Two scenarios exist: NIC link-down with an explicit link-down event and link-down without any event. a) NIC link-down with an explicit link-dow event. Call Trace: qi_submit_sync qi_flush_dev_iotlb __context_flush_dev_iotlb.part.0 domain_context_clear_one_cb pci_for_each_dma_alias device_block_translation blocking_domain_attach_dev iommu_deinit_device __iommu_group_remove_device iommu_release_device iommu_bus_notifier blocking_notifier_call_chain bus_notify device_del pci_remove_bus_device pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device pciehp_unconfigure_device pciehp_disable_slot pciehp_handle_presence_or_link_change pciehp_ist b) NIC link-down without an event - hard-lock on VM destroy.

Backport request for commit 5326ab737a47 ("virtio_console: fix order of fields cols and rows")

by Filip Hejsek

Hi, I would like to request backporting 5326ab737a47 ("virtio_console: fix order of fields cols and rows") to all LTS kernels. I'm working on QEMU patches that add virtio console size support. Without the fix, rows and columns will be swapped. As far as I know, there are no device implementations that use the wrong order and would by broken by the fix. Note: A previous version [1] of the patch contained "Cc: stable" and "Fixes:" tags, but they seem to have been accidentally left out from the final version. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250320172654.624657-1-maxbr@linux.ibm.com/ Thanks, Filip Hejsek

[PATCH RESEND v3 1/4] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb_pmd_shared()

by David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)

We switched from (wrongly) using the page count to an independent shared count. Now, shared page tables have a refcount of 1 (excluding speculative references) and instead use ptdesc->pt_share_count to identify sharing. We didn't convert hugetlb_pmd_shared(), so right now, we would never detect a shared PMD table as such, because sharing/unsharing no longer touches the refcount of a PMD table. Page migration, like mbind() or migrate_pages() would allow for migrating folios mapped into such shared PMD tables, even though the folios are not exclusive. In smaps we would account them as "private" although they are "shared", and we would be wrongly setting the PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE in the pagemap interface. Fix it by properly using ptdesc_pmd_is_shared() in hugetlb_pmd_shared().

[PATCH v3 3/3] mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using mmu_gather

by David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)

As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page tables that it severely regresses some workloads. In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per unshared PMD table. There are two optimizations to be had: (1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table. Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before we drop the lock. (2) When we are not the last sharer (> 2 users including us), there is no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted by the last sharer. Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs. Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI broadcast. (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle this) So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation. To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide tlb_gather_mmu_vma(). We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables. Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables(). From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is still held. Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier. Document it all properly. Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing: There are two fairly tricky things: (1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb->freed_tables is set. The relevant architectures should be selecting MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch. Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different when tlb->freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also take care of tlb->unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting tlb->freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush too much, because the semantics of tlb->freed_tables are a bit fuzzy. This patch changes nothing in this regard. (2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync. Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB) we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the second tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as described in (1), it really must honor tlb->freed_tables then to send IPIs to all relevant CPUs. Notes on TLB flushing changes: (1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine. (2) Flushing for shared PMD tables We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(), tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range(). tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios. Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing. Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB flushing keeps on working as expected. Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed separately as a cleanup later. There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until this is fixed.

[PATCH 1/2] ublk: add UBLK_F_NO_AUTO_PART_SCAN feature flag

by Ming Lei

Add a new feature flag UBLK_F_NO_AUTO_PART_SCAN to allow users to suppress automatic partition scanning when starting a ublk device. This is useful for network-backed devices where partition scanning can cause issues: - Partition scan triggers synchronous I/O during device startup - If userspace server crashes during scan, recovery is problematic - For remotely-managed devices, partition probing may not be needed Users can manually trigger partition scanning later when appropriate using standard tools (e.g., partprobe, blockdev --rereadpt).

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: consider non-anon swap cache folios in folio_expected_ref_count() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-consider-non-anon-swap-cache-folios-in-folio_expected_ref_count.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Bijan Tabatabai <bijan311(a)gmail.com> Subject: mm: consider non-anon swap cache folios in folio_expected_ref_count() Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 14:07:27 -0600 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 [ 49.641310] page: refcount:2 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000033bd8fe2 index:0x7f404d925 pfn:0xb12f25 [ 49.641311] aops:swap_aops [ 49.641313] flags: 0x300000000030508(uptodate|active|owner_priv_1|reclaim|swapbacked|node=0|zone=3) [ 49.641314] raw: 0300000000030508 ffffed312c4bc908 ffffed312c4bc9c8 0000000000000000 [ 49.641315] raw: 00000007f404d925 00000000000c823b 00000002ffffffff 0000000000000000 [ 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.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] rust-maple_tree-rcu_read_lock-in-destructor-to-silence-lockdep.patch removed from -mm tree

The quilt patch titled Subject: rust: maple_tree: rcu_read_lock() in destructor to silence lockdep has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was rust-maple_tree-rcu_read_lock-in-destructor-to-silence-lockdep.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl(a)google.com> Subject: rust: maple_tree: rcu_read_lock() in destructor to silence lockdep Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:10:37 +0000 When running the Rust maple tree kunit tests with lockdep, you may trigger a warning that looks like this: lib/maple_tree.c:780 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 no locks held by kunit_try_catch/344. stack backtrace: CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 344 Comm: kunit_try_catch Tainted: G N 6.19.0-rc1+ #2 NONE Tainted: [N]=TEST Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.17.0-0-gb52ca86e094d-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x71/0x90 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x150/0x190 mas_start+0x104/0x150 mas_find+0x179/0x240 _RINvNtCs5QSdWC790r4_4core3ptr13drop_in_placeINtNtCs1cdwasc6FUb_6kernel10maple_tree9MapleTreeINtNtNtBL_5alloc4kbox3BoxlNtNtB1x_9allocator7KmallocEEECsgxAQYCfdR72_25doctests_kernel_generated+0xaf/0x130 rust_doctest_kernel_maple_tree_rs_0+0x600/0x6b0 ? lock_release+0xeb/0x2a0 ? kunit_try_catch_run+0x210/0x210 kunit_try_run_case+0x74/0x160 ? kunit_try_catch_run+0x210/0x210 kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x12/0x30 kthread+0x21c/0x230 ? __do_trace_sched_kthread_stop_ret+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x16c/0x270 ? __do_trace_sched_kthread_stop_ret+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 </TASK> This is because the destructor of maple tree calls mas_find() without taking rcu_read_lock() or the spinlock. Doing that is actually ok in this case since the destructor has exclusive access to the entire maple tree, but it triggers a lockdep warning. To fix that, take the rcu read lock. In the future, it's possible that memory reclaim could gain a feature where it reallocates entries in maple trees even if no user-code is touching it. If that feature is added, then this use of rcu read lock would become load-bearing, so I did not make it conditional on lockdep. We have to repeatedly take and release rcu because the destructor of T might perform operations that sleep.
