Patch series "selftests/memfd: fix compilation warnings".
This patchset fixes warnings about unused but initialized variables, and
unused dummy buffer passed to pwrite() syscall in the tests.
This patch (of 2):
memfd_test.c: In function 'mfd_fail_grow_write.part.0':
memfd_test.c:685:13: warning: '<unknown>' may be used uninitialized
[-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
685 | l = pwrite(fd, buf, mfd_def_size * 8, 0);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pwrite() is declared with attribute 'access (read_only, 2, 3)', so GCC
knows it reads from the buffer. malloc() returns uninitialized memory,
hence the warning. Use calloc() to zero-initialize the buffer. The
actual contents don't matter here since the test verifies that pwrite()
fails on a sealed memfd.

When an assertion is failed, sysfs.py DAMON selftest immediately exits the
test program leaving the DAMON running behind. Many of the following
tests need to start DAMON on their own. But because DAMON that was
started by sysfs.py is still running, those start attempts fail, and the
tests are failed or skipped. Update sysfs.py to stop DAMON before exiting
the test program due to the assertion failure.

Patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks", v3.
The mmap_action->success_hook was a strange beast added to enable code
which appeared to absolutely require access to a VMA pointer to work
correctly.
Primarily this was for hugetlb, however a different approach will be taken
there, as clearly more work is required to figure out a sensible way of
converting hugetlb to use mmap_prepare.
The other user was the memory char driver, specifically /dev/zero which
has the unusual property of explicitly setting file-backed VMAs anonymous.
Providing the success hook was always foolish, as it allowed drivers a way
to workaround the restriction that they should not access a pointer to a
not-yet-correctly-initialised VMA - which defeats the purpose of the
mmap_prepare work.
We can achieve the same thing in memory char driver without needing the
success hook, so this series removes that, then removes the success hook
altogether.
The error hook is also unnecessary - the motivation for this was for
functions which need to override the error code when performing an mmap
action in order to avoid breaking userspace.
We can achieve this by just providing a field for the error code. Doing
this means we don't have to worry about the hook doing anything odd.
We also add a check to ensure the error code is in fact valid.
Again the memory char driver is the only current user of this, so this
series updates it to use that.
After this change mmap_action has no custom hooks at all, which seems
rather more cromulent than before.
This patch (of 3):
/dev/zero, uniquely, marks memory mapped there as anonymous. This is
currently achieved using the mmap_action->success_hook.
However this hook circumvents the abstraction of VMA initialisation so
it's preferable to do things a different way.
To achieve this, this patch firstly defaults the VMA descriptor's vm_ops
field to the dummy VMA operations, which is what file-backed VMAs default
this field to.
That way, we can detect whether a driver sets this field to NULL in order
to mark it anonymous.
We then introduce vma_desc_set_anonymous() to do this explicitly, and
invoke it in mmap_zero_prepare().
This way, any driver which does not explicitly set desc->vm_ops, retains
the dummy vm_ops as they would previously.
We also update set_vma_user_defined_fields() to make clear that we are
either setting vma->vm_ops to what is provided by the driver (or
defaulting to dummy_vm_ops if not set), or setting the VMA anonymous.
This lays the groundwork for removing the success hook.

The ternary operator (?:) has lower precedence than addition (+), so the
expression `off + sigbus_addr ? sigbus_addr - ptr : 0` was parsed as
`(off + sigbus_addr) ? (sigbus_addr - ptr) : 0` rather than the intended
`off + (sigbus_addr ? sigbus_addr - ptr : 0)`. Add explicit parentheses
to ensure the correct evaluation order.

Patch series "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs".
This series fixes three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c:
1. Fix two typos in madvise() error messages ("madvice" -> "madvise")
2. Fix operator precedence bug in the sigbus handler where the ternary
operator binds looser than addition, producing incorrect offset
calculation when sigbus_addr is non-NULL
3. Fix --kpageflags option declaration in getopt_long: has_arg should
be 1 (required_argument) since the option requires a file path
This patch (of 3):
Two error messages incorrectly spelled the madvise() function name as
"madvice". Fix the typo in both occurrences.

Add a regression test for the per-scan verbose dedup added in the
preceding commit. The test loads samples/kmemleak's helper module
(CONFIG_SAMPLE_KMEMLEAK=m) to generate orphan allocations, several of
which share an allocation backtrace, runs four kmemleak scans with verbose
printing enabled, then walks dmesg looking for two "unreferenced object"
reports within a single scan that share an identical backtrace - which
would mean dedup failed to collapse them.
The test is intentionally permissive on detection but strict on
regressions:
- PASS when no duplicates are observed, regardless of whether the
dedup summary line ("... and N more object(s) with the same
backtrace") was actually emitted. Per-CPU chunk reuse, slab
freelist pointers, kernel stack residue and CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_
AUTO_SCAN can all keep most of the orphans "still referenced" or
reported across many separate scans, so the dedup path may have
nothing to fold within one scan. That is not a regression.
- PASS reports whether dedup actually fired, so a passing run on a
well-behaved environment is still informative.
- FAIL when two same-backtrace reports land in a single scan (clear
dedup regression).
- FAIL when kmemleak's own per-scan tally counts leaks but the
verbose path emits zero "unreferenced object" lines - that catches
a regression in the verbose printer itself, which would otherwise
pass the duplicate check trivially.
- SKIP when kmemleak is absent, disabled at runtime, or the helper
module is not built.
The dmesg parser anchors stack-frame matching to the indentation kmemleak
uses for them (4+ spaces under "kmemleak: ") so unrelated kmemleak
warnings landing between reports do not get lumped into the backtrace key
and mask a duplicate.

test_percpu_basic() currently compares memory.current against only
memory.stat:percpu after creating 1000 child cgroups.
Observed failure:
#./test_kmem
ok 1 test_kmem_basic
ok 2 test_kmem_memcg_deletion

ok 4 test_kmem_kernel_stacks
ok 5 test_kmem_dead_cgroups
memory.current 11530240
percpu 8440000
not ok 6 test_percpu_basic
That assumption is too strict: child cgroup creation also allocates
slab-backed metadata, so memory.current is expected to be larger than
percpu alone. One visible path is:
cgroup_mkdir()
cgroup_create()
cgroup_addrm_file()
cgroup_add_file()
__kernfs_create_file()
__kernfs_new_node()
kmem_cache_zalloc()
These kernfs allocations are charged as slab and show up in
memory.stat:slab.
Update the check to compare memory.current against (percpu + slab)
within MAX_VMSTAT_ERROR, and print slab/delta in the failure message to
improve diagnostics.

Patch series "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in
test_percpu_basic", v2.
This patch series addresses two separate issues that cause false
positive failures in the test_percpu_basic test within the cgroup
kmem selftests.
The first issue stems from a hardcoded assumption about the system
page size, which breaks the test on architectures with larger page
sizes.
The second issue is an overly strict memory check that fails to
account for the slab metadata allocated during cgroup creation.
This patch (of 2):
MAX_VMSTAT_ERROR uses a hardcoded page size of 4096, which assumes 4K
pages. This causes test_percpu_basic to fail on systems where the kernel
is configured with a larger page size, such as aarch64 systems using 16K
or 64K pages, where the maximum permissible discrepancy between
memory.current and percpu charges is proportionally larger.
Replace the hardcoded 4096 with sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) to correctly derive
the page size at runtime regardless of the underlying architecture or
kernel configuration.

process_madvise() used to validate the advice while walking each imported
iovec. If the vector has zero total length, vector_madvise() does not
enter the loop and can return success without checking whether the advice
value is valid.
For a local mm, such as process_madvise(PIDFD_SELF, ...), the remote-only
process_madvise_remote_valid() check is skipped. As a result, an invalid
advice can be reported as success when the vector has zero total length.
This differs from madvise(), which rejects an invalid advice before
returning success for a zero-length range.
Validate the generic madvise behavior at the syscall-facing entry points
before any vector walk. In process_madvise(), do this before the
remote-only advice restriction so unsupported advice is rejected with the
same priority for local and remote mm.
Use an errno-returning helper for address/length validation, and handle
zero-length ranges explicitly at the call sites. Requests with valid
advice and zero total length remain a noop and continue to return 0. Add
a selftest that covers invalid advice with a zero-length iovec and an
empty vector, while also checking that a request with valid advice and
zero length still succeeds.

This patch set introces a new action: DAMOS_COLLAPSE.
For DAMOS_HUGEPAGE and DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE to work, khugepaged should be
working, since it relies on hugepage_madvise to add a new slot. This slot
should be picked up by khugepaged and eventually collapse (or not, if we
are using DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE) the pages. If THP is not enabled, khugepaged
will not be working, and therefore no collapse will happen.
DAMOS_COLLAPSE eventually calls madvise_collapse, which will collapse the
address range synchronously. In cases where there is a large VMA
(databases, for example), DAMOS_COLLAPSE allows us to collapse only the
hot region, and not the entire VMA.
This new action may be required to support autotuning with hugepage
as a goal[1].

- We can see that DAMOS "hugepage" action works only when THP is set
to madvise. "collapse" action works even when THP is set to never.
- Performance for "collapse" action is slightly lower than "hugepage"
action and THP madvise. This is due to the fact that collapases
occur synchronously. With "hugepage" they may occur during page
faults.
- Memory consumption is slighly lower for "collapse" than "hugepage"
with THP madvise. This is due to the khugepage collapses all VMAs,
while "collapse" action only collapses the VMAs in the hot region.
- There is an improvement in TLB utilization when collapse through
"hugepage" or "collapse" actions are triggered. The amount of
TLB misses is lower.
- "collapse" action is performance synchronously, which means that
page collapses happen earlier and more rapidly. This can be
useful or not, depending on the scenario.
- "hugepage" action may trigger a VMA split in some scenarios, since
it needs to change the flag of the VMA to THP enabled. This may
lead to additional overhead.
Collapse action just adds a new option to chose the correct system
balance.

The original version of mremap_test (7df666253f: "kselftests: vm: add
mremap tests") validated remapped contents byte-by-byte and printed a
mismatch index in case the bytes streams didn't match. That was rather
inefficient, especially also if the test passed.
Later, commit 7033c6cc96 ("selftests/mm: mremap_test: optimize execution
time from minutes to seconds using chunkwise memcmp") used memcmp() on
bigger chunks, to fallback to byte-wise scanning to detect the problematic
index only if it discovered a problem.
However, the implementation is overly complicated (e.g., get_sqrt() is
currently not optimal) and we don't really have to report the exact index:
whoever debugs the failing test can figure that out.
Let's simplify by just comparing both byte streams with memcmp() and not
detecting the exact failed index.

In attempt_writeback(), a memsize of 4M only covers 64 pages on 64K page
size systems. When memory.reclaim is called, the kernel prefers
reclaiming clean file pages (binary, libc, linker, etc.) over swapping
anonymous pages. With only 64 pages of anonymous memory, the reclaim
target can be largely or entirely satisfied by dropping file pages,
resulting in very few or zero anonymous pages being pushed into zswap.
This causes zswap_usage to be extremely small or zero, making
zswap_usage/4 insufficient to create meaningful writeback pressure. The
test then fails because no writeback is triggered.
On 4K page size systems this is not an issue because 4M covers 1024
pages, and file pages are a small fraction of the reclaim target.
Fix this by:
- Always allocating 1024 pages regardless of page size. This ensures
enough anonymous pages to reliably populate zswap and trigger
writeback, while keeping the original 4M allocation on 4K systems.
- Setting zswap.max to zswap_usage/4 instead of zswap_usage/2 to
create stronger writeback pressure, ensuring reclaim reliably
triggers writeback even on large page size systems.

test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink sets up two cgroups: wb_group, which is
expected to trigger zswap writeback, and a control group (renamed to
zw_group), which should only have pages sitting in zswap without any
writeback.
There are two problems with the current test:
1) The data patterns are reversed. wb_group uses allocate_bytes(), which
writes only a single byte per page — trivially compressible,
especially by zstd — so compressed pages fit within zswap.max and
writeback is never triggered. Meanwhile, the control group uses
getrandom() to produce hard-to-compress data, but it is the group
that does *not* need writeback.
2) The test uses fixed sizes (10K zswap.max, 10MB allocation) that are
too small on systems with large PAGE_SIZE (e.g. 64K), failing to
build enough memory pressure to trigger writeback reliably.
Fix both issues by:
- Swapping the data patterns: fill wb_group pages with partially
random data (getrandom for page_size/4 bytes) to resist compression
and trigger writeback, and fill zw_group pages with simple repeated
data to stay compressed in zswap.
- Making all size parameters PAGE_SIZE-aware: set allocation size to
PAGE_SIZE * 1024, memory.zswap.max to PAGE_SIZE, and memory.max to
allocation_size / 2 for both cgroups.
- Allocating memory inline instead of via cg_run() so the pages
remain resident throughout the test.

The cgroup utility code defines a local PAGE_SIZE macro hardcoded to 4096,
which is used primarily as a generic buffer size for reading cgroup and
proc files. This naming is misleading because the value has nothing to do
with the actual page size of the system. On architectures with larger
pages (e.g., 64K on arm64 or ppc64), the name suggests a relationship that
does not exist. Additionally, the name can shadow or conflict with
PAGE_SIZE definitions from system headers, leading to confusion or subtle
bugs.
To resolve this, rename the macro to BUF_SIZE to accurately reflect its
purpose as a general I/O buffer size.
Furthermore, test_memcontrol currently relies on this hardcoded 4K value
to stride through memory and trigger page faults. Update this logic to
use the actual system page size dynamically. This micro-optimizes the
memory faulting process by ensuring it iterates correctly and efficiently
based on the underlying architecture's true page size. (This part from
Waiman)

Patch series "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness and support
large page sizes", v7.
This patchset aims to fix various spurious failures and improve the
overall robustness of the cgroup zswap selftests.
The primary motivation is to make the tests compatible with architectures
that use non-4K page sizes (such as 64K on ppc64le and arm64). Currently,
the tests rely heavily on hardcoded 4K page sizes and fixed memory limits.
On 64K page size systems, these hardcoded values lead to sub-page
granularity accesses, incorrect page count calculations, and insufficient
memory pressure to trigger zswap writeback, ultimately causing the tests
to fail.
Additionally, this series addresses OOM kills occurring in
test_swapin_nozswap by dynamically scaling memory limits, and prevents
spurious test failures when zswap is built into the kernel but globally
disabled.
This patch (of 8):
test_zswap currently only checks whether zswap is present by testing
/sys/module/zswap. This misses the runtime global state exposed in
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled.
When zswap is built/loaded but globally disabled, the zswap cgroup
selftests run in an invalid environment and may fail spuriously.
Check the runtime enabled state before running the tests:
- skip if zswap is not configured,
- fail if the enabled knob cannot be read,
- skip if zswap is globally disabled.
Also print a hint in the skip message on how to enable zswap.

When building the mm selftests on a system without liburing development
headers, check_config.sh leaks a raw compiler error:
/tmp/tmp.kIIOIqwe3n.c:2:10: fatal error: liburing.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <liburing.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
Since this is an expected failure during the configuration probe,
redirect the compiler output to /dev/null to hide it.
And the build system prints a clear warning when this occurs:
Warning: missing liburing support. Some tests will be skipped.
Because the user is properly notified about the missing dependency, the
raw compiler error is redundant and only confuse users.
Additionally, update the Makefile to use $(Q) and $(call msg,...) for the
check_config.sh execution. This aligns the probe with standard kbuild
output formatting, providing a clean "CHK" message instead of printing the
raw command during the build.

Patch series "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity", v3.
Currently, the build process for the mm selftests is unnecessarily noisy.
First, it leaks raw compiler errors during the liburing feature probe if
the headers are missing, which is confusing since the build system already
handles this gracefully with a clear warning.
Second, the specific 32-bit and 64-bit compilation targets ignore the
standard kbuild verbosity settings, always printing their full compiler
commands even during a default quiet build.
This patch (of 2):
The 32-bit and 64-bit compilation rules invoke $(CC) directly, bypassing
the $(Q) quiet prefix and $(call msg,...) helper used by the rest of the
selftests build system. This causes these rules to always print the full
compiler command line, even when V=0 (the default).
Wrap the commands with $(Q) and $(call msg,CC,,$@) to match the convention
used by lib.mk, so that quiet and verbose builds behave consistently
across all targets.
