[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-consider-non-anon-swap-cache-folios-in-folio_expected_ref_count.patch removed from -mm tree

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.

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.

Its filename was selftests-mm-fix-thread-state-check-in-uffd-unit-tests.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: Wake Liu <wakel(a)google.com> Subject: selftests/mm: fix thread state check in uffd-unit-tests Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 17:14:08 +0800 In the thread_state_get() function, the logic to find the thread's state character was using `sizeof(header) - 1` to calculate the offset from the "State:\t" string. The `header` variable is a `const char *` pointer. `sizeof()` on a pointer returns the size of the pointer itself, not the length of the string literal it points to. This makes the code's behavior dependent on the architecture's pointer size. This bug was identified on a 32-bit ARM build (`gsi_tv_arm`) for Android, running on an ARMv8-based device, compiled with Clang 19.0.1. On this 32-bit architecture, `sizeof(char *)` is 4. The expression `sizeof(header) - 1` resulted in an incorrect offset of 3, causing the test to read the wrong character from `/proc/[tid]/status` and fail. On 64-bit architectures, `sizeof(char *)` is 8, so the expression coincidentally evaluates to 7, which matches the length of "State:\t". This is why the bug likely remained hidden on 64-bit builds. To fix this and make the code portable and correct across all architectures, this patch replaces `sizeof(header) - 1` with `strlen(header)`. The `strlen()` function correctly calculates the string's length, ensuring the correct offset is always used.

Its filename was mm-page_alloc-change-all-pageblocks-migrate-type-on-coalescing.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: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev(a)linux.ibm.com> Subject: mm/page_alloc: change all pageblocks migrate type on coalescing Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 16:14:57 +0100 When a page is freed it coalesces with a buddy into a higher order page while possible. When the buddy page migrate type differs, it is expected to be updated to match the one of the page being freed. However, only the first pageblock of the buddy page is updated, while the rest of the pageblocks are left unchanged. That causes warnings in later expand() and other code paths (like below), since an inconsistency between migration type of the list containing the page and the page-owned pageblocks migration types is introduced.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] kasan-unpoison-vms-addresses-with-a-common-tag.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: kasan: unpoison vms[area] addresses with a common tag has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kasan-unpoison-vms-addresses-with-a-common-tag.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: Maciej Wieczor-Retman <maciej.wieczor-retman(a)intel.com> Subject: kasan: unpoison vms[area] addresses with a common tag Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2025 19:00:11 +0000 A KASAN tag mismatch, possibly causing a kernel panic, can be observed on systems with a tag-based KASAN enabled and with multiple NUMA nodes. It was reported on arm64 and reproduced on x86. It can be explained in the following points: 1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk. 2. Chunk's base address has a tag. 3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits the tag of the first chunk. 4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the first chunk. 5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to match that of the first chunk. Use the new vmalloc flag that disables random tag assignment in __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc() - pass the same random tag to all the vm_structs by tagging the pointers before they go inside __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc(). Assigning a common tag resolves the pcpu chunk address mismatch.

The quilt patch titled Subject: kasan: refactor pcpu kasan vmalloc unpoison has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kasan-refactor-pcpu-kasan-vmalloc-unpoison.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: Maciej Wieczor-Retman <maciej.wieczor-retman(a)intel.com> Subject: kasan: refactor pcpu kasan vmalloc unpoison Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2025 19:00:04 +0000 A KASAN tag mismatch, possibly causing a kernel panic, can be observed on systems with a tag-based KASAN enabled and with multiple NUMA nodes. It was reported on arm64 and reproduced on x86. It can be explained in the following points: 1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk. 2. Chunk's base address has a tag. 3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits the tag of the first chunk. 4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the first chunk. 5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to match that of the first chunk. Refactor code by reusing __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc in a new helper in preparation for the actual fix.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-kasan-fix-incorrect-unpoisoning-in-vrealloc-for-kasan.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/kasan: fix incorrect unpoisoning in vrealloc for KASAN has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-kasan-fix-incorrect-unpoisoning-in-vrealloc-for-kasan.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: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen(a)linux.dev> Subject: mm/kasan: fix incorrect unpoisoning in vrealloc for KASAN Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2025 18:59:55 +0000 Patch series "kasan: vmalloc: Fixes for the percpu allocator and vrealloc", v3. Patches fix two issues related to KASAN and vmalloc. The first one, a KASAN tag mismatch, possibly resulting in a kernel panic, can be observed on systems with a tag-based KASAN enabled and with multiple NUMA nodes. Initially it was only noticed on x86 [1] but later a similar issue was also reported on arm64 [2]. Specifically the problem is related to how vm_structs interact with pcpu_chunks - both when they are allocated, assigned and when pcpu_chunk addresses are derived. When vm_structs are allocated they are unpoisoned, each with a different random tag, if vmalloc support is enabled along the KASAN mode. Later when first pcpu chunk is allocated it gets its 'base_addr' field set to the first allocated vm_struct. With that it inherits that vm_struct's tag. When pcpu_chunk addresses are later derived (by pcpu_chunk_addr(), for example in pcpu_alloc_noprof()) the base_addr field is used and offsets are added to it. If the initial conditions are satisfied then some of the offsets will point into memory allocated with a different vm_struct. So while the lower bits will get accurately derived the tag bits in the top of the pointer won't match the shadow memory contents. The solution (proposed at v2 of the x86 KASAN series [3]) is to unpoison the vm_structs with the same tag when allocating them for the per cpu allocator (in pcpu_get_vm_areas()). The second one reported by syzkaller [4] is related to vrealloc and happens because of random tag generation when unpoisoning memory without allocating new pages. This breaks shadow memory tracking and needs to reuse the existing tag instead of generating a new one. At the same time an inconsistency in used flags is corrected. This patch (of 3): Syzkaller reported a memory out-of-bounds bug [4]. This patch fixes two issues: 1. In vrealloc the KASAN_VMALLOC_VM_ALLOC flag is missing when unpoisoning the extended region. This flag is required to correctly associate the allocation with KASAN's vmalloc tracking. Note: In contrast, vzalloc (via __vmalloc_node_range_noprof) explicitly sets KASAN_VMALLOC_VM_ALLOC and calls kasan_unpoison_vmalloc() with it. vrealloc must behave consistently -- especially when reusing existing vmalloc regions -- to ensure KASAN can track allocations correctly. 2. When vrealloc reuses an existing vmalloc region (without allocating new pages) KASAN generates a new tag, which breaks tag-based memory access tracking. Introduce KASAN_VMALLOC_KEEP_TAG, a new KASAN flag that allows reusing the tag already attached to the pointer, ensuring consistent tag behavior during reallocation. Pass KASAN_VMALLOC_KEEP_TAG and KASAN_VMALLOC_VM_ALLOC to the kasan_unpoison_vmalloc inside vrealloc_node_align_noprof().
