mm/page-alloc: remove PageMappingFlags()
As PageMappingFlags() now only indicates anon (incl. KSM) folios, we can now simply check for PageAnon() and remove PageMappingFlags(). ... and while at it, use the folio instead and operate on folio->mapping.

mm/page_alloc: let page freeing clear any set page type
Currently, any user of page types must clear that type before freeing a page back to the buddy, otherwise we'll run into mapcount related sanity checks (because the page type currently overlays the page mapcount). Let's allow for not clearing the page type by page type users by letting the buddy handle it instead. We'll focus on having a page type set on the first page of a larger allocation only. With this change, we can reliably identify typed folios even though they might be in the process of getting freed, which will come in handy in migration code (at least in the transition phase). In the future we might want to warn on some page types. Instead of having an "allow list", let's rather wait until we know about once that should go on such a "disallow list".

mm/page_isolation: remove migratetype parameter from more functions
migratetype is no longer overwritten during pageblock isolation, start_isolate_page_range(), has_unmovable_pages(), and set_migratetype_isolate() no longer need which migratetype to restore during isolation failure. For has_unmoable_pages(), it needs to know if the isolation is for CMA allocation, so adding PB_ISOLATE_MODE_CMA_ALLOC provide the information. At the same time change isolation flags to enum pb_isolate_mode (PB_ISOLATE_MODE_MEM_OFFLINE, PB_ISOLATE_MODE_CMA_ALLOC, PB_ISOLATE_MODE_OTHER). Remove REPORT_FAILURE and check PB_ISOLATE_MODE_MEM_OFFLINE, since only PB_ISOLATE_MODE_MEM_OFFLINE reports isolation failures. alloc_contig_range() no longer needs migratetype. Replace it with a newly defined acr_flags_t to tell if an allocation is for CMA. So does __alloc_contig_migrate_range(). Add ACR_FLAGS_NONE (set to 0) to indicate ordinary allocations.

mm/page_isolation: remove migratetype from move_freepages_block_isolate()
Since migratetype is no longer overwritten during pageblock isolation, moving a pageblock out of MIGRATE_ISOLATE no longer needs a new migratetype. Add pageblock_isolate_and_move_free_pages() and pageblock_unisolate_and_move_free_pages() to be explicit about the page isolation operations. Both share the common code in __move_freepages_block_isolate(), which is renamed from move_freepages_block_isolate(). Add toggle_pageblock_isolate() to flip pageblock isolation bit in __move_freepages_block_isolate(). Make set_pageblock_migratetype() only accept non MIGRATE_ISOLATE types, so that one should use set_pageblock_isolate() to isolate pageblocks. As a result, move pageblock migratetype code out of __move_freepages_block().

mm/page_alloc: pageblock flags functions clean up
Patch series "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit", v10.
This patchset moves MIGRATE_ISOLATE to a standalone bit to avoid being
overwritten during pageblock isolation process. Currently,
MIGRATE_ISOLATE is part of enum migratetype (in include/linux/mmzone.h),
thus, setting a pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE overwrites its original
migratetype. This causes pageblock migratetype loss during
alloc_contig_range() and memory offline, especially when the process fails
due to a failed pageblock isolation and the code tries to undo the
finished pageblock isolations.
In terms of performance for changing pageblock types, no performance
change is observed:
1. I used perf to collect stats of offlining and onlining all memory
of a 40GB VM 10 times and see that get_pfnblock_flags_mask() and
set_pfnblock_flags_mask() take about 0.12% and 0.02% of the whole
process respectively with and without this patchset across 3 runs.
2. I used perf to collect stats of dd from /dev/random to a 40GB tmpfs
file and find get_pfnblock_flags_mask() takes about 0.05% of the
process with and without this patchset across 3 runs.
This patch (of 6):
No functional change is intended.
1. Add __NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS for the number of pageblock flag bits and use
roundup_pow_of_two(__NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS) as NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS to take
right amount of bits for pageblock flags.
2. Rename PB_migrate_skip to PB_compact_skip.
3. Add {get,set,clear}_pfnblock_bit() to operate one a standalone bit,
like PB_compact_skip.
3. Make {get,set}_pfnblock_flags_mask() internal functions and use
{get,set}_pfnblock_migratetype() for pageblock migratetype operations.
4. Move pageblock flags common code to get_pfnblock_bitmap_bitidx().
3. Use MIGRATETYPE_MASK to get the migratetype of a pageblock from its
flags.
4. Use PB_migrate_end in the definition of MIGRATETYPE_MASK instead of
PB_migrate_bits.
5. Add a comment on is_migrate_cma_folio() to prevent one from changing it
to use get_pageblock_migratetype() and causing issues.

- The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently." - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes.

Networking changes for 6.16.
Core
----
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing
again the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter
---------
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools
still use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain
and flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF
---
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols
---------
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the single
flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API
----------
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling
-----------------
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers
----------------------
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing
to the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT
the user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.
- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.
- AMD Renoir ethernet device.
- ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.
- Aeonsemi 10G C45 PHYs driver.

mm: pcp: increase pcp->free_count threshold to trigger free_high
In old pcp design, pcp->free_factor gets incremented in nr_pcp_free() which is invoked by free_pcppages_bulk(). So, it used to increase free_factor by 1 only when we try to reduce the size of pcp list and free_high used to trigger only for order > 0 and order < costly_order and pcp->free_factor > 0. For iperf3 I noticed that with older design in kernel v6.6, pcp list was drained mostly when pcp->count > high (more often when count goes above 530). and most of the time pcp->free_factor was 0, triggering very few high order flushes. But this is changed in the current design, introduced in commit |

mm: rename try_alloc_pages() to alloc_pages_nolock()
The "try_" prefix is confusing, since it made people believe that try_alloc_pages() is analogous to spin_trylock() and NULL return means EAGAIN. This is not the case. If it returns NULL there is no reason to call it again. It will most likely return NULL again. Hence rename it to alloc_pages_nolock() to make it symmetrical to free_pages_nolock() and document that NULL means ENOMEM.

mm/page_alloc.c: avoid infinite retries caused by cpuset race
__alloc_pages_slowpath has no change detection for ac->nodemask in the
part of retry path, while cpuset can modify it in parallel. For some
processes that set mempolicy as MPOL_BIND, this results ac->nodemask
changes, and then the should_reclaim_retry will judge based on the latest
nodemask and jump to retry, while the get_page_from_freelist only
traverses the zonelist from ac->preferred_zoneref, which selected by a
expired nodemask and may cause infinite retries in some cases
cpu 64:
__alloc_pages_slowpath {
/* ..... */
retry:
/* ac->nodemask = 0x1, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
if (alloc_flags & ALLOC_KSWAPD)
wake_all_kswapds(order, gfp_mask, ac);
/* cpu 1:
cpuset_write_resmask
update_nodemask
update_nodemasks_hier
update_tasks_nodemask
mpol_rebind_task
mpol_rebind_policy
mpol_rebind_nodemask
// mempolicy->nodes has been modified,
// which ac->nodemask point to
*/
/* ac->nodemask = 0x3, ac->preferred->zone->nid = 1 */
if (should_reclaim_retry(gfp_mask, order, ac, alloc_flags,
did_some_progress > 0, &no_progress_loops))
goto retry;
}
Simultaneously starting multiple cpuset01 from LTP can quickly reproduce
this issue on a multi node server when the maximum memory pressure is
reached and the swap is enabled

cpuset: rename cpuset_node_allowed to cpuset_current_node_allowed
Patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion", v5. Change reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. Presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. Implement cpuset_node_allowed() to check the cpuset.mems_effective associated wih the mem_cgroup of the lruvec being scanned. This only applies to cgroup/cpuset v2, as cpuset exists in a different hierarchy than mem_cgroup in v1. This requires renaming the existing cpuset_node_allowed() to be cpuset_current_now_allowed() - which is more descriptive anyway - to implement the new cpuset_node_allowed() which takes a target cgroup. This patch (of 2): Rename cpuset_node_allowed to reflect that the function checks the current task's cpuset.mems. This allows us to make a new cpuset_node_allowed function that checks a target cgroup's cpuset.mems.

mm: page_alloc: tighten up find_suitable_fallback()
find_suitable_fallback() is not as efficient as it could be, and somewhat
difficult to follow.
1. should_try_claim_block() is a loop invariant. There is no point in
checking fallback areas if the caller is interested in claimable
blocks but the order and the migratetype don't allow for that.
2. __rmqueue_steal() doesn't care about claimability, so it shouldn't
have to run those tests.
Different callers want different things from this helper:
1. __compact_finished() scans orders up until it finds a claimable block
2. __rmqueue_claim() scans orders down as long as blocks are claimable
3. __rmqueue_steal() doesn't care about claimability at all
Move should_try_claim_block() out of the loop. Only test it for the
two callers who care in the first place. Distinguish "no blocks" from
"order + mt are not claimable" in the return value; __rmqueue_claim()
can stop once order becomes unclaimable, __compact_finished() can keep
advancing until order becomes claimable.

mm/page_alloc: fix race condition in unaccepted memory handling
The page allocator tracks the number of zones that have unaccepted memory
using static_branch_enc/dec() and uses that static branch in hot paths to
determine if it needs to deal with unaccepted memory.
Borislav and Thomas pointed out that the tracking is racy: operations on
static_branch are not serialized against adding/removing unaccepted pages
to/from the zone.
Sanity checks inside static_branch machinery detects it:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at kernel/jump_label.c:276 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked+0x8e/0xa0
The comment around the WARN() explains the problem:
/*
* Warn about the '-1' case though; since that means a
* decrement is concurrent with a first (0->1) increment. IOW
* people are trying to disable something that wasn't yet fully
* enabled. This suggests an ordering problem on the user side.
*/
The effect of this static_branch optimization is only visible on
microbenchmark.
Instead of adding more complexity around it, remove it altogether.

mm/page_alloc: ensure try_alloc_pages() plays well with unaccepted memory
try_alloc_pages() will not attempt to allocate memory if the system has
*any* unaccepted memory. Memory is accepted as needed and can remain in
the system indefinitely, causing the interface to always fail.
Rather than immediately giving up, attempt to use already accepted memory
on free lists.
Pass 'alloc_flags' to cond_accept_memory() and do not accept new memory
for ALLOC_TRYLOCK requests.
Found via code inspection - only BPF uses this at present and the
runtime effects are unclear.

mm/page_alloc: fix deadlock on cpu_hotplug_lock in __accept_page()
When the last page in the zone is accepted, __accept_page() calls
static_branch_dec(). This function takes cpu_hotplug_lock, which can lead
to a deadlock if the allocation occurs during CPU bringup path as
_cpu_up() also takes the lock.
To prevent this deadlock, defer static_branch_dec() to a workqueue.
Call static_branch_dec() only when the workqueue is not yet initialized.
Workqueues are initialized before CPU bring up, so this will not conflict
with the first scenario.

mm: page_alloc: fix defrag_mode's retry & OOM path
Brendan points out that defrag_mode doesn't properly clear
ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT on its last-ditch attempt to allocate. But looking
closer, the problem is actually more severe: it doesn't actually *check*
whether it's already retried, and keeps looping. This means the OOM path
is never taken, and the thread can loop indefinitely.
This is verified with an intentional OOM test on defrag_mode=1, which
results in the machine hanging. After this patch, it triggers the OOM
kill reliably and recovers.
Clear ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT properly, and only retry once.

In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The 3 patch series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The 3 patch series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that.

Merge tag 'bpf_try_alloc_pages' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next
Pull bpf try_alloc_pages() support from Alexei Starovoitov:
"The pull includes work from Sebastian, Vlastimil and myself with a lot
of help from Michal and Shakeel.
This is a first step towards making kmalloc reentrant to get rid of
slab wrappers: bpf_mem_alloc, kretprobe's objpool, etc. These patches
make page allocator safe from any context.
Vlastimil kicked off this effort at LSFMM 2024:
https://lwn.net/Articles/974138/
and we continued at LSFMM 2025:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAADnVQKfkGxudNUkcPJgwe3nTZ=xohnRshx9kLZBTmR_E1DFEg@mail.gmail.com/
Why:
SLAB wrappers bind memory to a particular subsystem making it
unavailable to the rest of the kernel. Some BPF maps in production
consume Gbytes of preallocated memory. Top 5 in Meta: 1.5G, 1.2G,
1.1G, 300M, 200M. Once we have kmalloc that works in any context BPF
map preallocation won't be necessary.
How:
Synchronous kmalloc/page alloc stack has multiple stages going from
fast to slow: cmpxchg16 -> slab_alloc -> new_slab -> alloc_pages ->
rmqueue_pcplist -> __rmqueue, where rmqueue_pcplist was already
relying on trylock.
This set changes rmqueue_bulk/rmqueue_buddy to attempt a trylock and
return ENOMEM if alloc_flags & ALLOC_TRYLOCK. It then wraps this
functionality into try_alloc_pages() helper. We make sure that the
logic is sane in PREEMPT_RT.
End result: try_alloc_pages()/free_pages_nolock() are safe to call
from any context.
try_kmalloc() for any context with similar trylock approach will
follow. It will use try_alloc_pages() when slab needs a new page.
Though such try_kmalloc/page_alloc() is an opportunistic allocator,
this design ensures that the probability of successful allocation of
small objects (up to one page in size) is high.
Even before we have try_kmalloc(), we already use try_alloc_pages() in
BPF arena implementation and it's going to be used more extensively in
BPF"

mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary __maybe_unused in order_to_pindex()
The `movable` variable is always used when `CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE` is enabled, so the `__maybe_unused` attribute is not necessary. This patch removes it and keeps the variable declaration within the `#ifdef` block for better clarity.

mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode kswapd/kcompactd watermarks
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.
This further reduces THP latencies and allocation stalls, and improves THP
success rates against the previous patch:

Also of note is that compaction work overall is reduced. The reason for
this is that when free pageblocks are more readily available, allocations
are also much more likely to get physically placed in LRU order, instead
of being forced to scavenge free space here and there. This means that
reclaim by itself has better chances of freeing up whole blocks, and the
system relies less on compaction.

THP allocation latencies and %sys time are down dramatically.
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.

mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode kswapd/kcompactd assistance
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.

DEFRAGMODE-ASYNC also wins on %sys as ~3/4 of the direct compaction work
is shifted to kcompactd.
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.

mm: page_alloc: defrag_mode
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.

mm: page_alloc: trace type pollution from compaction capturing
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.

mm/page_alloc: add trace event for totalreserve_pages calculation
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.

mm/page_alloc: add trace event for per-zone watermark setup
Patch series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages", v2. This patchset introduces tracepoints to track changes in the lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages. This helps to track the exact timing of such changes and understand their relation to reclaim activities. The tracepoints added are: mm_setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve mm_setup_per_zone_wmarks mm_calculate_totalreserve_pagesi This patch (of 3): This commit introduces the `mm_setup_per_zone_wmarks` trace event, which provides detailed insights into the kernel's per-zone watermark configuration, offering precise timing and the ability to correlate watermark changes with specific kernel events. While `/proc/zoneinfo` provides some information about zone watermarks, this trace event offers: 1. The ability to link watermark changes to specific kernel events and logic. 2. The ability to capture rapid or short-lived changes in watermarks that may be missed by user-space polling 3. Diagnosing unexpected kswapd activity or excessive direct reclaim triggered by rapidly changing watermarks.

mm: stop maintaining the per-page mapcount of large folios (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Everything is in place to stop using the per-page mapcounts in large
folios: the mapcount of tail pages will always be logically 0 (-1 value),
just like it currently is for hugetlb folios already, and the page
mapcount of the head page is either 0 (-1 value) or contains a page type
(e.g., hugetlb).
Maintaining _nr_pages_mapped without per-page mapcounts is impossible, so
that one also has to go with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
There are two remaining implications:
(1) Per-node, per-cgroup and per-lruvec stats of "NR_ANON_MAPPED"
("mapped anonymous memory") and "NR_FILE_MAPPED"
("mapped file memory"):
As soon as any page of the folio is mapped -- folio_mapped() -- we
now account the complete folio as mapped. Once the last page is
unmapped -- !folio_mapped() -- we account the complete folio as
unmapped.
This implies that ...
* "AnonPages" and "Mapped" in /proc/meminfo and
/sys/devices/system/node/*/meminfo
* cgroup v2: "anon" and "file_mapped" in "memory.stat" and
"memory.numa_stat"
* cgroup v1: "rss" and "mapped_file" in "memory.stat" and
"memory.numa_stat
... can now appear higher than before. But note that these folios do
consume that memory, simply not all pages are actually currently
mapped.
It's worth nothing that other accounting in the kernel (esp. cgroup
charging on allocation) is not affected by this change.
[why oh why is "anon" called "rss" in cgroup v1]
(2) Detecting partial mappings
Detecting whether anon THPs are partially mapped gets a bit more
unreliable. As long as a single MM maps such a large folio
("exclusively mapped"), we can reliably detect it. Especially before
fork() / after a short-lived child process quit, we will detect
partial mappings reliably, which is the common case.
In essence, if the average per-page mapcount in an anon THP is < 1,
we know for sure that we have a partial mapping.
However, as soon as multiple MMs are involved, we might miss detecting
partial mappings: this might be relevant with long-lived child
processes. If we have a fully-mapped anon folio before fork(), once
our child processes and our parent all unmap (zap/COW) the same pages
(but not the complete folio), we might not detect the partial mapping.
However, once the child processes quit we would detect the partial
mapping.
How relevant this case is in practice remains to be seen.
Swapout/migration will likely mitigate this.
In the future, RMAP walkers could check for that for that case
(e.g., when collecting access bits during reclaim) and simply flag
them for deferred-splitting.

mm/rmap: basic MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb)
For small folios, we traditionally use the mapcount to decide whether it was "certainly mapped exclusively" by a single MM (mapcount == 1) or whether it "maybe mapped shared" by multiple MMs (mapcount > 1). For PMD-sized folios that were PMD-mapped, we were able to use a similar mechanism (single PMD mapping), but for PTE-mapped folios and in the future folios that span multiple PMDs, this does not work. So we need a different mechanism to handle large folios. Let's add a new mechanism to detect whether a large folio is "certainly mapped exclusively", or whether it is "maybe mapped shared". We'll use this information next to optimize CoW reuse for PTE-mapped anonymous THP, and to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared(), independent of per-page mapcounts. For each large folio, we'll have two slots, whereby a slot stores: (1) an MM id: unique id assigned to each MM (2) a per-MM mapcount If a slot is unoccupied, it can be taken by the next MM that maps folio page. In addition, we'll remember the current state -- "mapped exclusively" vs. "maybe mapped shared" -- and use a bit spinlock to sync on updates and to reduce the total number of atomic accesses on updates. In the future, it might be possible to squeeze a proper spinlock into "struct folio". For now, keep it simple, as we require the whole thing with THP only, that is incompatible with RT. As we have to squeeze this information into the "struct folio" of even folios of order-1 (2 pages), and we generally want to reduce the required metadata, we'll assign each MM a unique ID that can fit into an int. In total, we can squeeze everything into 4x int (2x long) on 64bit. 32bit support is a bit challenging, because we only have 2x long == 2x int in order-1 folios. But we can make it work for now, because we neither expect many MMs nor very large folios on 32bit. We will reliably detect folios as "mapped exclusively" vs. "mapped shared" as long as only two MMs map pages of a folio at one point in time -- for example with fork() and short-lived child processes, or with apps that hand over state from one instance to another. As soon as three MMs are involved at the same time, we might detect "maybe mapped shared" although the folio is "mapped exclusively". Example 1: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (4) App1 unmaps all folio pages -> We will detect "mapped exclusively". Example 2: (1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0 (2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1 (3) App3 faults in a folio page -> No slot available, tracked as "unknown" (4) App1 and App2 unmap all folio pages -> We will detect "maybe mapped shared". Make use of __always_inline to keep possible performance degradation when (un)mapping large folios to a minimum. Note: by squeezing the two flags into the "unsigned long" that stores the MM ids, we can use non-atomic __bit_spin_unlock() and non-atomic setting/clearing of the "maybe mapped shared" bit, effectively not adding any new atomics on the hot path when updating the large mapcount + new metadata, which further helps reduce the runtime overhead in micro-benchmarks.

mm: move _entire_mapcount in folio to page[2] on 32bit
Let's free up some space on 32bit in page[1] by moving the _pincount to page[2]. Ordinary folios only use the entire mapcount with PMD mappings, so order-1 folios don't apply. Similarly, hugetlb folios are always larger than order-1, turning the entire mapcount essentially unused for all order-1 folios. Moving it to order-1 folios will not change anything. On 32bit, simply check in folio_entire_mapcount() whether we have an order-1 folio, and return 0 in that case. Note that THPs on 32bit are not particularly common (and we don't care too much about performance), but we want to keep it working reliably, because likely we want to use large folios there as well in the future, independent of PMD leaf support. Once we dynamically allocate "struct folio", the 32bit specifics will go away again; even small folios could then have a pincount.

mm: move _pincount in folio to page[2] on 32bit
Let's free up some space on 32bit in page[1] by moving the _pincount to page[2]. For order-1 folios (never anon folios!) on 32bit, we will now also use the GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS approach. A fully-mapped order-1 folio requires 2 references. With GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS being 1024, we'd detect such folios as "maybe pinned" with 512 full mappings, instead of 1024 for order-0. As anon folios are out of the picture (which are the most relevant users of checking for pinnings on *mapped* pages) and we are talking about 32bit, this is not expected to cause any trouble. In __dump_page(), copy one additional folio page if we detect a folio with an order > 1, so we can dump the pincount on order > 1 folios reliably. Note that THPs on 32bit are not particularly common (and we don't care too much about performance), but we want to keep it working reliably, because likely we want to use large folios there as well in the future, independent of PMD leaf support. Once we dynamically allocate "struct folio", fortunately the 32bit specifics will likely go away again; even small folios could then have a pincount and folio_has_pincount() would essentially always return "true".
