Reclaim process will put the hwpoisoned page back to lru. 2) The process that maps the hwpoisoned page exits, the page is deleted the page will never be freed and will be in the lru forever. 3) If we trigger a reclaim again and tries to reclaim the page, add_to_swap() will trigger VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO due to the uptodate flag is cleared. To fix it, skip the hwpoisoned page in shrink_folio_list(). Besides, the hwpoison folio may not be unmapped by hwpoison_user_mappings() yet, unmap it in shrink_folio_list(), otherwise the folio will fail to be unmaped by hwpoison_user_mappings() since the folio isn't in lru list.

2025-03-21mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statisticsHao Jia
Patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics". These two patches are related to proactive memory reclaim. Patch 1 Split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim counters and introduces new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive. Patch 2 Adds pswpin and pswpout items to the cgroup-v2 documentation. This patch (of 2): In proactive memory reclaim scenarios, it is necessary to accurately track proactive reclaim statistics to dynamically adjust the frequency and amount of memory being reclaimed proactively. Currently, proactive reclaim is included in direct reclaim statistics, which can make these direct reclaim statistics misleading. Therefore, separate proactive reclaim memory from the direct reclaim counters by introducing new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive, to avoid confusion with direct reclaim.

2025-03-21mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for active pagesNhat Pham
Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages". The memory reclaim algorithm categorizes pages into active and inactive lists, separately for file and anon pages. The system's performance relies heavily on the (relative and absolute) accuracy of this categorization. This patch series add a new DAMOS filter for pages' activeness, giving us visibility into the access frequency of the pages on each list. This insight can help us diagnose issues with the active-inactive balancing dynamics, and make decisions to optimize reclaim efficiency and memory utilization. For instance, we might decide to enable DAMON_LRU_SORT, if we find that there are pages on the active list that are infrequently accessed, or less frequently accessed than pages on the inactive list. This patch (of 2): Implement a DAMOS filter type for active pages on DAMON kernel API, and add support of it from the physical address space DAMON operations set (paddr).

2025-03-21meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon driversNico Pache
Patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers", v2. This series introduces a way to track memory used by balloon drivers. Add a NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track how many pages are reclaimed by the balloon drivers. First add the accounting, then updates the balloon drivers (virtio, Hyper-V, VMware, Pseries-cmm, and Xen) to maintain this counter. The virtio, Vmware, and pseries-cmm balloon drivers utilize the balloon_compaction interface to allocate and free balloon pages. Other balloon drivers will have to maintain this counter manually. This makes the information visible in memory reporting interfaces like /proc/meminfo, show_mem, and OOM reporting. This provides admins visibility into their VM balloon sizes without requiring different virtualization tooling. Furthermore, this information is helpful when debugging an OOM inside a VM. This patch (of 4): Add NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track memory used by balloon drivers and expose it through /proc/meminfo and other memory reporting interfaces.

For more detail, see https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/Z9LwTOudOlCGny3f@casper.infradead.org/ This patch (of 5): Folios always use memcg_data to refer to the mem_cgroup while pages allocated with GFP_ACCOUNT have a pointer to the obj_cgroup.

2025-03-21memcg: avoid refill_stock for root memcgShakeel Butt
We never charge the page counters of root memcg, so there is no need to put root memcg in the memcg stock. At the moment, refill_stock() can be called from try_charge_memcg(), obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() and mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem(). The try_charge_memcg() and mem_cgroup_uncharge_skmem() are never called with root memcg, so those are fine. However obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() can potentially call refill_stock() with root memcg if the objcg object has been reparented over to the root memcg. Let's just avoid refill_stock() from obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() for root memcg.

2025-03-21mm/cma: using per-CMA locks to improve concurrent allocation performanceGe Yang
For different CMAs, concurrent allocation of CMA memory ideally should not require synchronization using locks. Currently, a global cma_mutex lock is employed to synchronize all CMA allocations, which can impact the performance of concurrent allocations across different CMAs. To test the performance impact, follow these steps: 1. Boot the kernel with the command line argument hugetlb_cma=30G to allocate a 30GB CMA area specifically for huge page allocations. (note: on my machine, which has 3 nodes, each node is initialized with 10G of CMA) 2. Use the dd command with parameters if=/dev/zero of=/dev/shm/file bs=1G count=30 to fully utilize the CMA area by writing zeroes to a file in /dev/shm. 3. Open three terminals and execute the following commands simultaneously: (Note: Each of these commands attempts to allocate 10GB [2621440 * 4KB pages] of CMA memory.) On Terminal 1: time echo 2621440 > /sys/kernel/debug/cma/hugetlb1/alloc On Terminal 2: time echo 2621440 > /sys/kernel/debug/cma/hugetlb2/alloc On Terminal 3: time echo 2621440 > /sys/kernel/debug/cma/hugetlb3/alloc We attempt to allocate pages through the CMA debug interface and use the time command to measure the duration of each allocation. Performance comparison: Without this patch With this patch Terminal1 ~7s ~7s Terminal2 ~14s ~8s Terminal3 ~21s ~7s To solve problem above, we could use per-CMA locks to improve concurrent allocation performance. This would allow each CMA to be managed independently, reducing the need for a global lock and thus improving scalability and performance.

2025-03-17mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode kswapd/kcompactd watermarksJohannes Weiner
The previous patch added pageblock_order reclaim to kswapd/kcompactd, which helps, but produces only one block at a time. Allocation stalls and THP failure rates are still higher than they could be. To adequately reflect ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT demand for pageblocks, change the watermarking for kswapd & kcompactd: instead of targeting the high watermark in order-0 pages and checking for one suitable block, simply require that the high watermark is entirely met in pageblocks. To this end, track the number of free pages within contiguous pageblocks, then change pgdat_balanced() and compact_finished() to check watermarks against this new value.

THP allocation failures are down from nearly 50% to 8.5%. And to recall previous data points, the success rates are steady and reliable without the cumulative deterioration of fragmentation events. Compaction work is down overall. Direct compaction work especially is drastically reduced. As an aside, its success rate of 4% indicates there is room for improvement. For now it's good to rely on it less. Reclaim work is up overall, however direct reclaim work is down. Part of the increase can be attributed to a higher use of THPs, which due to internal fragmentation increase the memory footprint. This is not necessarily an unexpected side-effect for users of THP. However, taken both points together, there may well be some opportunities for fine tuning in the reclaim/compaction coordination.

2025-03-17mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode kswapd/kcompactd assistanceJohannes Weiner
When defrag_mode is enabled, allocation fallbacks strongly prefer whole block conversions instead of polluting or stealing partially used blocks. This means there is a demand for pageblocks even from sub-block requests. Let kswapd/kcompactd help produce them. By the time kswapd gets woken up, normal rmqueue and block conversion fallbacks have been attempted and failed. So always wake kswapd with the block order; it will take care of producing a suitable compaction gap and then chain-wake kcompactd with the block order when its done.

Reclaim activity is higher. Part of that is simply due to the increased memory footprint from higher THP use. The other aspect is that *direct* reclaim/compaction are still going for requested orders rather than targeting the page blocks required for fallbacks, which is less efficient than it could be. However, this is already a useful tradeoff to make, as in many environments peak periods are short and retaining the ability to produce THP through them is more important.

2025-03-17mm: page_alloc: defrag_modeJohannes Weiner
The page allocator groups requests by migratetype to stave off fragmentation. However, in practice this is routinely defeated by the fact that it gives up *before* invoking reclaim and compaction - which may well produce suitable pages. As a result, fragmentation of physical memory is a common ongoing process in many load scenarios. Fragmentation deteriorates compaction's ability to produce huge pages. Depending on the lifetime of the fragmenting allocations, those effects can be long-lasting or even permanent, requiring drastic measures like forcible idle states or even reboots as the only reliable ways to recover the address space for THP production. In a kernel build test with supplemental THP pressure, the THP allocation rate steadily declines over 15 runs: thp_fault_alloc 61988 56474 57258 50187 52388 55409 52925 47648 43669 40621 36077 41721 36685 34641 33215 This is a hurdle in adopting THP in any environment where hosts are shared between multiple overlapping workloads (cloud environments), and rarely experience true idle periods. To make THP a reliable and predictable optimization, there needs to be a stronger guarantee to avoid such fragmentation. Introduce defrag_mode. When enabled, reclaim/compaction is invoked to its full extent *before* falling back. Specifically, ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT is enforced on the allocator fastpath and the reclaiming slowpath. For now, fallbacks are permitted to avert OOMs. There is a plan to add defrag_mode=2 to prefer OOMs over fragmentation, but this requires additional prep work in compaction and the reserve management to make it ready for all possible allocation contexts. The following test results are from a kernel build with periodic bursts of THP allocations, over 15 runs: vanilla defrag_mode=1 @claimer[unmovable]: 189 103 @claimer[movable]: 92 103 @claimer[reclaimable]: 207 61 @pollute[unmovable from movable]: 25 0 @pollute[unmovable from reclaimable]: 28 0 @pollute[movable from unmovable]: 38835 0 @pollute[movable from reclaimable]: 147136 0 @pollute[reclaimable from unmovable]: 178 0 @pollute[reclaimable from movable]: 33 0 @steal[unmovable from movable]: 11 0 @steal[unmovable from reclaimable]: 5 0 @steal[reclaimable from unmovable]: 107 0 @steal[reclaimable from movable]: 90 0 @steal[movable from reclaimable]: 354 0 @steal[movable from unmovable]: 130 0 Both types of polluting fallbacks are eliminated in this workload. Interestingly, whole block conversions are reduced as well. This is because once a block is claimed for a type, its empty space remains available for future allocations, instead of being padded with fallbacks; this allows the native type to group up instead of spreading out to new blocks. The assumption in the allocator has been that pollution from movable allocations is less harmful than from other types, since they can be reclaimed or migrated out should the space be needed. However, since fallbacks occur *before* reclaim/compaction is invoked, movable pollution will still cause non-movable allocations to spread out and claim more blocks. Without fragmentation, THP rates hold steady with defrag_mode=1: thp_fault_alloc 32478 20725 45045 32130 14018 21711 40791 29134 34458 45381 28305 17265 22584 28454 30850 While the downward trend is eliminated, the keen reader will of course notice that the baseline rate is much smaller than the vanilla kernel's to begin with. This is due to deficiencies in how reclaim and compaction are currently driven: ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT increases the extent to which smaller allocations are competing with THPs for pageblocks, while making no effort themselves to reclaim or compact beyond their own request size. This effect already exists with the current usage of ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT, but is amplified by defrag_mode insisting on whole block stealing much more strongly. Subsequent patches will address defrag_mode reclaim strategy to raise the THP success baseline above the vanilla kernel.

2025-03-17mm: page_alloc: trace type pollution from compaction capturingJohannes Weiner
When the page allocator places pages of a certain migratetype into blocks of another type, it has lasting effects on the ability to compact and defragment down the line. For improving placement and compaction, visibility into such events is crucial. The most common case, allocator fallbacks, is already annotated, but compaction capturing is also allowed to grab pages of a different type. Extend the tracepoint to cover this case.

These metrics also hold up over time, while the vanilla kernel sees a steady downward trend in success rates with each subsequent run, owed to the cumulative effects of fragmentation. A more detailed discussion of results is in the patch changelogs. The patches first introduce a vm.defrag_mode sysctl, which enforces the existing ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT alloc flag until after reclaim and compaction have run. They then change kswapd and kcompactd to target pageblocks, which boosts success in the ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT hotpaths. Patches #1 and #2 are somewhat unrelated cleanups, but touch the same code and so are included here to avoid conflicts from re-ordering. This patch (of 5): compaction_suitable() hardcodes the min watermark, with a boost to the low watermark for costly orders. However, compaction_ready() requires order-0 at the high watermark. It currently checks the marks twice. Make the watermark a parameter to compaction_suitable() and have the callers pass in what they require: - compaction_zonelist_suitable() is used by the direct reclaim path, so use the min watermark. - compact_suit_allocation_order() has a watermark in context derived from cc->alloc_flags. The only quirk is that kcompactd doesn't initialize cc->alloc_flags explicitly. There is a direct check in kcompactd_do_work() that passes ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, but there is another check downstack in compact_zone() that ends up passing the unset alloc_flags. Since they default to 0, and that coincides with ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, it is correct. But it's subtle. Set cc->alloc_flags explicitly. - should_continue_reclaim() is direct reclaim, use the min watermark. - Finally, consolidate the two checks in compaction_ready() to a single compaction_suitable() call passing the high watermark. There is a tiny change in behavior: before, compaction_suitable() would check order-0 against min or low, depending on costly order. Then there'd be another high watermark check. Now, the high watermark is passed to compaction_suitable(), and the costly order-boost (low - min) is added on top. This means compaction_ready() sets a marginally higher target for free pages. In a kernelbuild + THP pressure test, though, this didn't show any measurable negative effects on memory pressure or reclaim rates. As the comment above the check says, reclaim is usually stopped short on should_continue_reclaim(), and this just defines the worst-case reclaim cutoff in case compaction is not making any headway.

2025-03-17mm/hwpoison: do not send SIGBUS to processes with recovered clean pagesShuai Xue
When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when the data is about to be consumed. - Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1] Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action Optional) signature in the machine check bank. This was overkill because it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that bad data. It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE interrupts and finally become an IERR. Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to #CMCI. Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA* signature name. - Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in Intel platform [1] Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors, the memory controller uses it for reads too. But the memory controller is executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference between a "real" read and a speculative read. So it will do CMCI/UCNA if an error is found in any read. Thus: 1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a speculative read. 2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read request 3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the core that will soon try to retire the load from address A. Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page (marking it as poison). - Why user process is killed for instr case Commit 046545a661af ("mm/hwpoison: fix error page recovered but reported "not recovered"") tries to fix noise message "Memory error not recovered" and skips duplicate SIGBUSs due to the race. But it also introduced a bug that kill_accessing_process() return -EHWPOISON for instr case, as result, kill_me_maybe() send a SIGBUS to user process. If the CMCI wins that race, the page is marked poisoned when uc_decode_notifier() calls memory_failure(). For dirty pages, memory_failure() invokes try_to_unmap() with the TTU_HWPOISON flag, converting the PTE to a hwpoison entry. As a result, kill_accessing_process(): - call walk_page_range() and return 1 regardless of whether try_to_unmap() succeeds or fails, - call kill_proc() to make sure a SIGBUS is sent - return -EHWPOISON to indicate that SIGBUS is already sent to the process and kill_me_maybe() doesn't have to send it again. However, for clean pages, the TTU_HWPOISON flag is cleared, leaving the PTE unchanged and not converted to a hwpoison entry. Conversely, for clean pages where PTE entries are not marked as hwpoison, kill_accessing_process() returns -EFAULT, causing kill_me_maybe() to send a SIGBUS. Console log looks like this: Memory failure: 0x827ca68: corrupted page was clean: dropped without side effects Memory failure: 0x827ca68: recovery action for clean LRU page: Recovered Memory failure: 0x827ca68: already hardware poisoned mce: Memory error not recovered To fix it, return 0 for "corrupted page was clean", preventing an unnecessary SIGBUS to user process.

2025-03-17mm: lock PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with acquire memory orderingMathieu Desnoyers
The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit. Use test_and_set_bit_lock rather than test_and_set_bit to test-and-set PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with an acquire memory ordering semantic. This changes the "lock" acquisition from a full barrier to an acquire memory ordering, which is weaker. The acquire semi-permeable barrier paired with the release on unlock is sufficient for this mutual exclusion use-case. No behavior change intended other than to reduce overhead by using the appropriate barrier.

2025-03-17mm: add missing release barrier on PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED unlockMathieu Desnoyers
The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit. It is "locked" with a test_and_set_bit (similarly to a try lock) which provides full ordering with respect to loads and stores done within __node_reclaim(). It is "unlocked" with clear_bit(), which does not provide any ordering with respect to loads and stores done before clearing the bit. The lack of clear_bit() memory ordering with respect to stores within __node_reclaim() can cause a subsequent CPU to fail to observe stores from a prior node reclaim. This is not an issue in practice on TSO (e.g. x86), but it is an issue on weakly-ordered architectures (e.g. arm64). Fix this by using clear_bit_unlock rather than clear_bit to clear PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with a release memory ordering semantic. This provides stronger memory ordering (release rather than relaxed).

This commit introduces a new trace event, `mm_calculate_totalreserve_pages`, which reports the new reserve value at the exact time when it takes effect. The `totalreserve_pages` value represents the total amount of memory reserved across all zones and nodes in the system. This reserved memory is crucial for ensuring that critical kernel operations have access to sufficient memory, even under memory pressure. By tracing the `totalreserve_pages` value, developers can gain insights that how the total reserved memory changes over time.

Patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split", v3. When splitting a multi-index entry in XArray from order-n to order-m, existing xas_split_alloc()+xas_split() approach requires 2^(n % XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node allocations. But its callers, __filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry(), use at most 1 xa_node. To minimize xa_node allocation and remove the limitation of no split from order-12 (or above) to order-0 (or anything between 0 and 5)[1], xas_try_split() was added[2], which allocates (n / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT - m / XA_CHUNK_SHIFT) xa_node. It is used for non-uniform folio split, but can be used by __filemap_add_folio() and shmem_split_large_entry(). xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() split an order-9 to order-0: --------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------- | | | | ------- --- --- ------- | | ... | | V V V V ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | xa_node | | xa_node | ... | xa_node | | xa_node | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- xas_try_split() splits an order-9 to order-0: --------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------- | | V ----------- | xa_node | ----------- xas_try_split() is designed to be called iteratively with n = m + 1. xas_try_split_mini_order() is added to minmize the number of calls to xas_try_split() by telling the caller the next minimal order to split to instead of n - 1. Splitting order-n to order-m when m= l * XA_CHUNK_SHIFT does not require xa_node allocation and requires 1 xa_node when n=l * XA_CHUNK_SHIFT and m = n - 1, so it is OK to use xas_try_split() with n > m + 1 when no new xa_node is needed. xfstests quick group test passed on xfs and tmpfs.

For example, to truncate a order-4 folio [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 15] between [3, 10] (inclusive), folio_split() splits the folio at 3 to [0,1], [2], [3], [4..7], [8..15] and [3], [4..7] can be dropped and [8..15] is kept with zeros in [8..10], then another folio_split() is done at 10, so [8..10] can be dropped. One possible optimization is to make folio_split() to split a folio based on a given range, like [3..10] above. But that complicates folio_split(), so it will be investigated when necessary.

2025-03-17mm/huge_memory: add buddy allocator like (non-uniform) folio_split()Zi Yan
folio_split() splits a large folio in the same way as buddy allocator splits a large free page for allocation. The purpose is to minimize the number of folios after the split. For example, if user wants to free the 3rd subpage in a order-9 folio, folio_split() will split the order-9 folio as: O-0, O-0, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-8 if it is anon, since anon folio does not support order-1 yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | |O-0|O-0|O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- O-1, O-0, O-0, O-2, O-3, O-4, O-5, O-6, O-7, O-9 if it is pagecache --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | O-1 |O-0|O-0| O-2 |...| O-7 | O-8 | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------- It generates fewer folios (i.e., 11 or 10) than existing page split approach, which splits the order-9 to 512 order-0 folios. It also reduces the number of new xa_node needed during a pagecache folio split from 8 to 1, potentially decreasing the folio split failure rate due to memory constraints. folio_split() and existing split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() share the folio unmapping and remapping code in __folio_split() and the common backend split code in __split_unmapped_folio() using uniform_split variable to distinguish their operations. uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() are added to factor out check code and will be used outside __folio_split() in the following commit.

2025-03-17mm/huge_memory: move folio split common code to __folio_split()Zi Yan
This is a preparation patch for folio_split(). In the upcoming patch folio_split() will share folio unmapping and remapping code with split_huge_page_to_list_to_order(), so move the code to a common function __folio_split() first. Add a TODO for splitting large shmem folio in swap cache.

2025-03-17mm/huge_memory: add two new (not yet used) functions for folio_split()Zi Yan
This is a preparation patch, both added functions are not used yet. The added __split_unmapped_folio() is able to split a folio with its mapping removed in two manners: 1) uniform split (the existing way), and 2) buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) split. The added __split_folio_to_order() can split a folio into any lower order. For uniform split, __split_unmapped_folio() calls it once to split the given folio to the new order. For buddy allocator like (non-uniform) split, __split_unmapped_folio() calls it (folio_order - new_order) times and each time splits the folio containing the given page to one lower order.

2025-03-17mm/vmalloc: refactor __vmalloc_node_range_noprof()Liu Ye
According to the code logic, the first parameter of the sub-function __get_vm_area_node() should be size instead of real_size. Then in __get_vm_area_node(), the size will be aligned, so the redundant alignment operation is deleted. The use of the real_size variable causes code redundancy, so it is removed to simplify the code. The real prefix is generally used to indicate the adjusted value of a parameter, but according to the code logic, it should indicate the original value, so it is recommended to rename it to original_align.
