If a user wishes to enable KSM mergeability for an entire process and all
fork/exec'd processes that come after it, they use the prctl()
PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE operation.
This defaults all newly mapped VMAs to have the VM_MERGEABLE VMA flag set
(in order to indicate they are KSM mergeable), as well as setting this
flag for all existing VMAs and propagating this across fork/exec.
However it also breaks VMA merging for new VMAs, both in the process and
all forked (and fork/exec'd) child processes.
This is because when a new mapping is proposed, the flags specified will
never have VM_MERGEABLE set. However all adjacent VMAs will already have
VM_MERGEABLE set, rendering VMAs unmergeable by default.
To work around this, we try to set the VM_MERGEABLE flag prior to
attempting a merge. In the case of brk() this can always be done.
However on mmap() things are more complicated - while KSM is not supported
for MAP_SHARED file-backed mappings, it is supported for MAP_PRIVATE
file-backed mappings.
These mappings may have deprecated .mmap() callbacks specified which
could, in theory, adjust flags and thus KSM eligibility.
So we check to determine whether this is possible. If not, we set
VM_MERGEABLE prior to the merge attempt on mmap(), otherwise we retain the
previous behaviour.
This fixes VMA merging for all new anonymous mappings, which covers the
majority of real-world cases, so we should see a significant improvement
in VMA mergeability.
For MAP_PRIVATE file-backed mappings, those which implement the
.mmap_prepare() hook and shmem are both known to be safe, so we allow
these, disallowing all other cases.
Also add stubs for newly introduced function invocations to VMA userland
testing.

Patch series "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs", v3.
When KSM-by-default is established using prctl(PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE), this
defaults all newly mapped VMAs to having VM_MERGEABLE set, and thus makes
them available to KSM for samepage merging. It also sets VM_MERGEABLE in
all existing VMAs.
However this causes an issue upon mapping of new VMAs - the initial flags
will never have VM_MERGEABLE set when attempting a merge with adjacent
VMAs (this is set later in the mmap() logic), and adjacent VMAs will
ALWAYS have VM_MERGEABLE set.
This renders all newly mapped VMAs unmergeable.
To avoid this, this series performs the check for PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE far
earlier in the mmap() logic, prior to the merge being attempted.
However we run into complexity with the depreciated .mmap() callback - if
a driver hooks this, it might change flags which adjust KSM merge
eligibility.
We have to worry about this because, while KSM is only applicable to
private mappings, this includes both anonymous and MAP_PRIVATE-mapped
file-backed mappings.
This isn't a problem for brk(), where the VMA must be anonymous. However
in mmap() we must be conservative - if the VMA is anonymous then we can
always proceed, however if not, we permit only shmem mappings (whose .mmap
hook does not affect KSM eligibility) and drivers which implement
.mmap_prepare() (invoked prior to the KSM eligibility check).
If we can't be sure of the driver changing things, then we maintain the
same behaviour of performing the KSM check later in the mmap() logic (and
thus losing new VMA mergeability).
A great many use-cases for this logic will use anonymous mappings any
rate, so this change should already cover the majority of actual KSM
use-cases.
This patch (of 4):
In subsequent commits we are going to determine KSM eligibility prior to a
VMA being constructed, at which point we will of course not yet have
access to a VMA pointer.
It is trivial to boil down the check logic to be parameterised on
mm_struct, file and VMA flags, so do so.
As a part of this change, additionally expose and use file_is_dax() to
determine whether a file is being mapped under a DAX inode.

Introduces a new drgn script, `show_page_info.py`, which allows users
to analyze the state of a page given a process ID (PID) and a virtual
address (VADDR). This can help kernel developers or debuggers easily
inspect page-related information in a live kernel or vmcore.
The script extracts information such as the page flags, mapping, and

The scan implementation for MGLRU was missing proportional reclaim
pressure for memcg, which contradicts the description in
Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst (memory.{low,min} section).
This issue can be observed in kselftest cgroup:test_memcontrol
(specifically test_memcg_min and test_memcg_low). The following table
shows the actual values observed in my local test env (on xfs) and the
error "e", which is the symmetric absolute percentage error from the ideal
values of 29M for c[0] and 21M for c[1].
test_memcg_min
| MGLRU enabled | MGLRU enabled | MGLRU disabled
| Without patch | With patch |
-----|-----------------|-----------------|---------------
c[0] | 25964544 (e=8%) | 28770304 (e=3%) | 27820032 (e=4%)
c[1] | 26214400 (e=9%) | 23998464 (e=4%) | 24776704 (e=6%)
test_memcg_low
| MGLRU enabled | MGLRU enabled | MGLRU disabled
| Without patch | With patch |
-----|-----------------|-----------------|---------------
c[0] | 26214400 (e=7%) | 27930624 (e=4%) | 27688960 (e=5%)
c[1] | 26214400 (e=9%) | 24764416 (e=6%) | 24920064 (e=6%)
Factor out the proportioning logic to a new function and have MGLRU reuse
it. While at it, update the eviction behavior via debugfs 'lru_gen'
interface ('-' command with an explicit 'nr_to_reclaim' parameter) to
ensure eviction is limited to the specified number.

In our testing with 6.12 based kernel on a big.LITTLE system, we were
seeing instances of RT tasks being blocked from running on the LITTLE
cpus for multiple seconds of time, apparently by the dl_server. This
far exceeds the default configured 50ms per second runtime.
This is due to the fair dl_server runtime calculation being scaled
for frequency & capacity of the cpu.
Consider the following case under a Big.LITTLE architecture:
Assume the runtime is: 50,000,000 ns, and Frequency/capacity
scale-invariance defined as below:
Frequency scale-invariance: 100
Capacity scale-invariance: 50
First by Frequency scale-invariance,
the runtime is scaled to 50,000,000 * 100 >> 10 = 4,882,812
Then by capacity scale-invariance,
it is further scaled to 4,882,812 * 50 >> 10 = 238,418.
So it will scaled to 238,418 ns.
This smaller "accounted runtime" value is what ends up being
subtracted against the fair-server's runtime for the current period.
Thus after 50ms of real time, we've only accounted ~238us against the
fair servers runtime. This 209:1 ratio in this example means that on
the smaller cpu the fair server is allowed to continue running,
blocking RT tasks, for over 10 seconds before it exhausts its supposed
50ms of runtime. And on other hardware configurations it can be even
worse.
For the fair deadline_server, to prevent realtime tasks from being
unexpectedly delayed, we really do want to use fixed time, and not
scaled time for smaller capacity/frequency cpus. So remove the scaling
from the fair server's accounting to fix this.

There's one case where ->d_compare() can be called for an in-lookup
dentry; usually that's nothing special from ->d_compare() point of
view, but... proc_sys_compare() is weird.
The thing is, /proc/sys subdirectories can look differently for
different processes. Up to and including having the same name
resolve to different dentries - all of them hashed.
The way it's done is ->d_compare() refusing to admit a match unless
this dentry is supposed to be visible to this caller. The information
needed to discriminate between them is stored in inode; it is set
during proc_sys_lookup() and until it's done d_splice_alias() we really
can't tell who should that dentry be visible for.
Normally there's no negative dentries in /proc/sys; we can run into
a dying dentry in RCU dcache lookup, but those can be safely rejected.
However, ->d_compare() is also called for in-lookup dentries, before
they get positive - or hashed, for that matter. In case of match
we will wait until dentry leaves in-lookup state and repeat ->d_compare()
afterwards. In other words, the right behaviour is to treat the
name match as sufficient for in-lookup dentries; if dentry is not
for us, we'll see that when we recheck once proc_sys_lookup() is
done with it.
While we are at it, fix the misspelled READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE there.

We've seen customers having shares mounted in paths like /??/C:/ or
/??/UNC/foo.example.com/share in order to get their native SMB
symlinks successfully followed from different mounts.
After commit 12b466eb52 ("cifs: Fix creating and resolving absolute NT-style symlinks"),
the client would then convert absolute paths from "/??/C:/" to "/mnt/c/"
by default. The absolute paths would vary depending on the value of
symlinkroot= mount option.
Fix this by restoring old behavior of not trying to convert absolute
paths by default. Only do this if symlinkroot= was _explicitly_ set.
Before patch:
$ mount.cifs //w22-fs0/test2 /mnt/1 -o vers=3.1.1,username=xxx,password=yyy
$ ls -l /mnt/1/symlink2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Jun 20 14:22 /mnt/1/symlink2 -> /mnt/c/testfile
$ mkdir -p /??/C:; echo foo > //??/C:/testfile
$ cat /mnt/1/symlink2
cat: /mnt/1/symlink2: No such file or directory
After patch:
$ mount.cifs //w22-fs0/test2 /mnt/1 -o vers=3.1.1,username=xxx,password=yyy
$ ls -l /mnt/1/symlink2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Jun 20 14:22 /mnt/1/symlink2 -> '/??/C:/testfile'

When the SMB server reboots and the client immediately accesses the mount
point, a race condition can occur that causes operations to fail with
"Host is down" error.
Reproduction steps:
# Mount SMB share
mount -t cifs //192.168.245.109/TEST /mnt/ -o xxxx
ls /mnt
# Reboot server
ssh root@192.168.245.109 reboot
ssh root@192.168.245.109 /path/to/cifs_server_setup.sh
ssh root@192.168.245.109 systemctl stop firewalld
# Immediate access fails
ls /mnt
ls: cannot access '/mnt': Host is down
# But works if there is a delay
The issue is caused by a race condition between negotiate and reconnect.
The 20-second negotiate timeout mechanism can interfere with the normal
recovery process when both are triggered simultaneously.

// case MID_RETRY_NEEDED
rc = -EAGAIN;
// In smb2_negotiate()
rc = -EHOSTDOWN;
The server_unresponsive() timeout triggers cifs_reconnect(), which aborts
ongoing mid requests and causes the ls command to receive -EAGAIN, leading
to -EHOSTDOWN.
Fix this by introducing a dedicated `neg_start` field to
precisely tracks when the negotiate process begins. The timeout check
now uses this accurate timestamp instead of `lstrp`, ensuring that:
1. Timeout is only triggered after negotiate has actually run for 20s
2. The mechanism doesn't interfere with concurrent recovery processes
3. Uninitialized timestamps (value 0) don't trigger false timeouts

Fixups
- Fixed raw pointer leakage and unsafe behavior in printk()
. Switch from %pK to %p for pointer formatting, as %p is now safer
and prevents issues like raw pointer leakage and acquiring sleeping
locks in atomic contexts.
- Fixed kernel panic during boot
. A NULL pointer dereference issue occasionally occurred
when the vblank interrupt handler was called before
the DRM driver was fully initialized during boot.
So this patch fixes the issue by adding a check in the interrupt handler
to ensure the DRM driver is properly initialized.
- Fixed a lockup issue on Samsung Peach-Pit/Pi Chromebooks
. The issue occurred after commit c9b1150a68 changed
the call order of CRTC enable/disable and bridge pre_enable/post_disable
methods, causing fimd_dp_clock_enable() to be called
before the FIMD device was activated. To fix this,
runtime PM guards were added to fimd_dp_clock_enable()
to ensure proper operation even when CRTC is not enabled.
