A dirty folio is one which has been written to. A clean folio is its
opposite. Since a clean folio has no user data, it can be freed under
memory pressure.
memfd preservation with LUO saves the flag at preserve(). This is
problematic. The folio might get dirtied later. Saving it at freeze()
also doesn't work, since the dirty bit from PTE is normally synced at
unmap and there might still be mappings of the file at freeze().
To see why this is a problem, say a folio is clean at preserve, but gets
dirtied later. The serialized state of the folio will mark it as clean.
After retrieve, the next kernel will see the folio as clean and might try
to reclaim it under memory pressure. This will result in losing user
data.
Mark all folios of the file as dirty, and always set the
MEMFD_LUO_FOLIO_DIRTY flag. This comes with the side effect of making all
clean folios un-reclaimable. This is a cost that has to be paid for
participants of live update. It is not expected to be a common use case
to preserve a lot of clean folios anyway.
Since the value of pfolio->flags is a constant now, drop the flags
variable and set it directly.

Patch series "mm: memfd_luo: fixes for folio flag preservation".
This series contains a couple fixes for flag preservation for memfd live
update.
The first patch fixes memfd preservation when fallocate() was used to
pre-allocate some pages. For these memfds, all the writes to fallocated
pages touched after preserve were lost.
The second patch fixes dirty flag tracking. If the dirty flag is not
tracked correctly, the next kernel might incorrectly reclaim some folios
under memory pressure, losing user data. This is a theoretical bug that I
observed when reading the code, and haven't been able to reproduce it.
This patch (of 2):
When a folio is added to a shmem file via fallocate, it is not zeroed on
allocation. This is done as a performance optimization since it is
possible the folio will never end up being used at all. When the folio is
used, shmem checks for the uptodate flag, and if absent, zeroes the folio
(and sets the flag) before returning to user.
With LUO, the flags of each folio are saved at preserve time. It is
possible to have a memfd with some folios fallocated but not uptodate.
For those, the uptodate flag doesn't get saved. The folios might later
end up being used and become uptodate. They would get passed to the next
kernel via KHO correctly since they did get preserved. But they won't
have the MEMFD_LUO_FOLIO_UPTODATE flag.
This means that when the memfd is retrieved, the folios will be added to
the shmem file without the uptodate flag. They will be zeroed before
first use, losing the data in those folios.
Since we take a big performance hit in allocating, zeroing, and pinning
all folios at prepare time anyway, take some more and zero all
non-uptodate ones too.
Later when there is a stronger need to make prepare faster, this can be
optimized.
To avoid racing with another uptodate operation, take the folio lock.

Commit d49004c5f0 ("arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones
and memory map") moved free_area_init() from setup_arch() to
mm_core_init_early(), which runs after setup_arch() returns.
This changed the ordering relative to init_cpu_to_node() on x86. Before
the commit, free_area_init() ran during paging_init() (called from
setup_arch()) *before* init_cpu_to_node(). After the commit, it runs
*after* init_cpu_to_node().
On machines with memoryless NUMA nodes (e.g., node 0 has CPUs but no
memory), this causes a NULL pointer dereference:
1. numa_register_nodes() skips memoryless nodes: no alloc_node_data()
and no node_set_online() for them.
2. init_cpu_to_node() sets memoryless nodes online (they have CPUs)
but does not allocate NODE_DATA.
3. free_area_init() checks "if (!node_online(nid))" to decide whether
to call alloc_offline_node_data(). Since the memoryless node is now
online, the allocation is skipped, leaving NODE_DATA(nid) == NULL.
4. The immediate "pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid)" dereferences NULL.
The crash happens before console_init(), so no output is visible without
earlyprintk. With earlyprintk enabled, the following panic is observed:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000000000002a1e0
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
Fix this by checking "if (!NODE_DATA(nid))" instead of "if
(!node_online(nid))". This directly tests whether the per-node data
structure needs to be allocated, regardless of the node's online status.
This change is also safe for non-x86 architectures as they all allocate
NODE_DATA for every node including memoryless ones, so the check simply
evaluates to false with no change in behavior.

The rss_stat trace event allows userspace tools, like Perfetto [1], to
inspect per-process RSS metric changes over time.
The curr field was introduced to rss_stat in commit e4dcad204d
("rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm"). Its
intent is to indicate whether the RSS update is for the mm_struct of the
current execution context; and is set to false when operating on a remote
mm_struct (e.g., via kswapd or a direct reclaimer).
However, an issue arises when a kernel thread temporarily adopts a user
process's mm_struct. Kernel threads do not have their own mm_struct and
normally have current->mm set to NULL. To operate on user memory, they
can "borrow" a memory context using kthread_use_mm(), which sets
current->mm to the user process's mm.
This can be observed, for example, in the USB Function Filesystem (FFS)
driver. The ffs_user_copy_worker() handles AIO completions and uses
kthread_use_mm() to copy data to a user-space buffer. If a page fault
occurs during this copy, the fault handler executes in the kthread's
context.
At this point, current is the kthread, but current->mm points to the user
process's mm. Since the rss_stat event (from the page fault) is for that
same mm, the condition current->mm == mm becomes true, causing curr to be
incorrectly set to true when the trace event is emitted.
This is misleading because it suggests the mm belongs to the kthread,
confusing userspace tools that track per-process RSS changes and
corrupting their mm_id-to-process association.
Fix this by ensuring curr is always false when the trace event is emitted
from a kthread context by checking for the PF_KTHREAD flag.

When KASAN hardware tags are enabled, re-enabling KFENCE late (via
/sys/module/kfence/parameters/sample_interval) causes KASAN faults.
This happens because the KFENCE pool and metadata are allocated via the
page allocator, which tags the memory, while KFENCE continues to access it
using untagged pointers during initialization.
Use __GFP_SKIP_KASAN for late KFENCE pool and metadata allocations to
ensure the memory remains untagged, consistent with early allocations from
memblock. To support this, add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN to the allowlist in
__alloc_contig_verify_gfp_mask().

DAMON core uses min_region_sz parameter value as the DAMON region
alignment. The alignment is made using ALIGN() and ALIGN_DOWN(), which
support only the power of two alignments. But DAMON core API callers can
set min_region_sz to an arbitrary number. Users can also set it
indirectly, using addr_unit.
When the alignment is not properly set, DAMON behavior becomes difficult
to expect and understand, makes it effectively broken. It doesn't cause a
kernel crash-like significant issue, though.
Fix the issue by disallowing min_region_sz input that is not a power of
two. Add the check to damon_commit_ctx(), as all DAMON API callers who
set min_region_sz uses the function.
This can be a sort of behavioral change, but it does not break users, for
the following reasons. As the symptom is making DAMON effectively broken,
it is not reasonable to believe there are real use cases of non-power of
two min_region_sz. There is no known use case or issue reports from the
setup, either.
In future, if we find real use cases of non-power of two alignments and we
can support it with low enough overhead, we can consider moving the
restriction. But, for now, simply disallowing the corner case should be
good enough as a hot fix.

LUO keeps track of successful retrieve attempts on a LUO file. It does so
to avoid multiple retrievals of the same file. Multiple retrievals cause
problems because once the file is retrieved, the serialized data
structures are likely freed and the file is likely in a very different
state from what the code expects.
The retrieve boolean in struct luo_file keeps track of this, and is passed
to the finish callback so it knows what work was already done and what it
has left to do.
All this works well when retrieve succeeds. When it fails,
luo_retrieve_file() returns the error immediately, without ever storing
anywhere that a retrieve was attempted or what its error code was. This
results in an errored LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD ioctl to userspace,
but nothing prevents it from trying this again.
The retry is problematic for much of the same reasons listed above. The
file is likely in a very different state than what the retrieve logic
normally expects, and it might even have freed some serialization data
structures. Attempting to access them or free them again is going to
break things.
For example, if memfd managed to restore 8 of its 10 folios, but fails on
the 9th, a subsequent retrieve attempt will try to call
kho_restore_folio() on the first folio again, and that will fail with a
warning since it is an invalid operation.
Apart from the retry, finish() also breaks. Since on failure the
retrieved bool in luo_file is never touched, the finish() call on session
close will tell the file handler that retrieve was never attempted, and it
will try to access or free the data structures that might not exist, much
in the same way as the retry attempt.
There is no sane way of attempting the retrieve again. Remember the error
retrieve returned and directly return it on a retry. Also pass this
status code to finish() so it can make the right decision on the work it
needs to do.
This is done by changing the bool to an integer. A value of 0 means
retrieve was never attempted, a positive value means it succeeded, and a
negative value means it failed and the error code is the value.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

Most simple allocations use GFP_KERNEL, and with the new allocation
helpers being introduced, let's just take advantage of that to simplify
that default case.
It's a numbers game:
git grep 'alloc_obj(' |
sed 's/.*\(GFP_[_A-Z]*\).*/\1/' |
sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
shows that about 90% of all those new allocator instances just use that
standard GFP_KERNEL.
Those helpers are already macros, and we can easily just make it be the
default case when the gfp argument is missing.
And yes, we could do that for all the legacy interfaces too, but let's
keep it to just the new ones at least for now, since those all got
converted recently anyway, so this is not any "extra" noise outside of
that limited conversion.
And, in fact, I want to do this before doing the -rc1 release, exactly
so that we don't get extra merge conflicts.

Commit 69050f8d6d ("treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for

process showed that they were completely non-working.
The overflow logic in overflows_flex_counter_type() is completely the
wrong way around, and that broke __alloc_flex() completely. By chance,
the resulting code was then such a mess that clang generated
sufficiently garbage code that objtool warned about it all. Which made
it somewhat quicker to narrow things down.
While fixing overflows_flex_counter_type() would presumably fix this
all, I'm excising the whole broken overflow logic from __alloc_flex(),
because we don't want that kind of code in basic allocation functions
anyway.
That (no longer) broken overflows_flex_counter_type() thing needs to be
inserted into the actual __set_flex_counter() logic in the unlikely case
that we ever want this at all. And made conditional.

Pull NTB (PCIe non-transparent bridge) updates from Jon Mason:
"NTB updates include debugfs improvements, correctness fixes, cleanups,
and new hardware support:
ntb_transport QP stats are converted to seq_file, a tx_memcpy_offload
module parameter is introduced with associated ordering fixes, and a
debugfs queue name truncation bug is corrected.
Additional fixes address format specifier mismatches in ntb_tool and
boundary conditions in the Switchtec driver, while unused MSI helpers
are removed and the codebase migrates to dma_map_phys().
Intel Gen6 (Diamond Rapids) NTB support is also added"

The current debug documentation does not mention that logs are printed
to stdout unless DEBUG_FILE is set. It also doesn't mention that
Coccinelle cannot overwrite debug files.
Document this behaviour in the examples and reference it in the
debugging section.

coccicheck prints debug logs to stdout unless a debug file has been set.
This makes it hard to read coccinelle's suggested changes, especially
for someone new to coccicheck.
From this commit, we warn about this behaviour from within the script on
an unset debug file. Explicitly setting the debug file to /dev/null
suppresses the warning while keeping the default.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Unfortunately, there is a corner case of __builtin_counted_by_ref()
usage that crashes[1] Clang since support was introduced in Clang 19.
Disable it prior to Clang 22. Found while tested kmalloc_obj treewide
refactoring (via kmalloc_flex() usage).

After goto restart, optind retains its advanced position from the
previous getopt loop, causing getopt() to immediately return -1.
This silently drops all command-line options on the restarted skeleton.
Reset optind to 1 at the restart label so options are re-parsed.
Affected schedulers: scx_simple, scx_central, scx_flatcg, scx_pair,
scx_sdt, scx_cpu0.

The stats thread reads nr_vruntime_enqueues, nr_vruntime_dispatches,
nr_vruntime_failed, and nr_curr_enqueued concurrently with the main
thread writing them, with no synchronization.
Use __atomic builtins with relaxed ordering for all accesses to these
counters to eliminate the data races.
Only display accuracy is affected, not scheduling correctness.
