mm/hugetlb: free cross-zone bootmem gigantic pages after allocation
Now that hugetlb reservation runs after zone initialization, bootmem gigantic page allocation can detect pages that span multiple zones. Keep those cross-zone pages separate during allocation and free them after allocation completes, so later hugetlb initialization only sees zone-valid gigantic pages. This chooses to free cross-zone gigantic pages directly instead of retrying allocation. In practice, such cross-zone cases are expected to be very rare, so adding retry logic does not seem justified at this point. Keeping the handling simple also preserves the previous behavior. If similar real-world reports show up later, retry support can be reconsidered then.

mm/hugetlb: refactor early boot gigantic hugepage allocation
The early boot gigantic hugepage allocation helpers currently mix allocation with huge_bootmem_page setup, and leave part of the initialization flow in architecture code. Refactor the interface to return the allocated huge page pointer and move the huge_bootmem_page setup into the generic hugetlb code. This makes the architecture-specific paths focus only on finding memory, while the common code handles node placement and early page metadata setup in one place. This also lets powerpc benefit from memblock_reserved_mark_noinit(), which it did not enable before. In addition, upcoming cross-zone validation for boot-time gigantic hugetlb reservation is common logic. With this refactoring, that logic can stay in the generic code instead of being duplicated in architecture-specific paths.

mm/hugetlb_cma: validate hugetlb CMA range by zone at reserve time
Hugetlb CMA allocation currently has to cope with CMA areas that span multiple zones. Validate the reserved CMA range up front in hugetlb_cma_reserve() so later hugetlb CMA allocations can assume a zone-consistent area. Also drop the pfn_valid() check from cma_validate_zones(). mem_section is not fully initialized at this point, so the check can trigger false warnings. Keep the sanity check in cma_activate_area() instead.

mm/sparse: move sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late() into sparse_init_nid()
sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late() is still called separately from mm_core_init_early(), away from the rest of the sparse initialization path. Now that sparse_init() runs after zone initialization, call sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late() from sparse_init_nid() instead. This keeps both sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early() and sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late() in the sparse setup path.

mm/mm_init: defer hugetlb reservation until after zone initialization
hugetlb_cma_reserve() and hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() currently run before free_area_init(), so HugeTLB reservation happens before zone state is initialized. Move the reservation step after free_area_init() so the relevant zone information is available before HugeTLB reserves memory. This is needed for later hugetlb changes that validate boot-time HugeTLB reservations against zone boundaries.

mm/mm_init: defer sparse_init() until after zone initialization
free_area_init() is responsible for initializing pgdat and zone state. Calling sparse_init() from there mixes in later vmemmap and struct page setup, which makes the initialization flow less clear. Defer sparse_init(), sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late(), and memmap_init() until after free_area_init() completes, when zone initialization is fully done. This keeps free_area_init() focused on zone setup and ensures that sparse_init() runs with the relevant zone state already available. This is also a prerequisite for later hugetlb vmemmap changes that need zone information during early sparse vmemmap setup.

mm/sparse: panic on memmap and usemap allocation failure
When vmemmap or usemap allocation fails, sparse_init_nid() currently marks the section non-present and continues. Later boot-time code can still walk PFNs in that section without checking for this partial setup, which leads to invalid accesses. subsection_map_init() can also touch an unallocated usemap. Auditing and fixing all early PFN walkers for this case is not worth the complexity. These allocation failures are expected to be fatal anyway, and other memory models already treat them that way. Make memmap and usemap allocation failures panic immediately instead of trying to recover and crashing later in less obvious ways. This is also consistent with how other memory model configurations handle memmap allocation failures.

mm/hugetlb: initialize gigantic bootmem hugepage struct pages earlier
Gigantic bootmem HugeTLB pages are currently initialized from
hugetlb_init(), but page_alloc_init_late() runs earlier and walks
pageblocks to determine zone contiguity.
If a bootmem HugeTLB region is marked noinit, set_zone_contiguous() can
observe still-uninitialized struct pages through
__pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This may not trigger an immediate failure, but
it can make set_zone_contiguous() compute the wrong zone contiguity state.
If extra poisoned-page checks are added in this path, such as
PF_POISONED_CHECK() in page_zone_id(), it can also trigger an early boot
panic.
Initialize gigantic bootmem HugeTLB struct pages from
page_alloc_init_late(), before zone contiguity is evaluated, so later page
allocator setup only sees valid struct page state. This also makes the
initialization order more natural, as struct pages should be initialized
before later code inspects them.

powerpc/mm: fix wrong addr_pfn tracking in compound vmemmap population
vmemmap_populate_compound_pages() uses addr_pfn to determine the PFN
offset within a compound page and to decide whether the current vmemmap
slot should be populated as a head page mapping or should reuse a tail
page mapping.
However, addr_pfn is advanced manually in parallel with addr. The loop
itself progresses in vmemmap address space, so each PAGE_SIZE step in addr
covers PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page) struct page slots. Since addr_pfn
is compared against nr_pages in data-PFN units, it should advance by the
same number of PFNs. The existing manual increments do not match that and
therefore do not reliably track the PFN corresponding to the current addr.
As a result, pfn_offset can be computed from the wrong PFN and the code
can make the head/tail decision for the wrong compound-page position.
Fix this by deriving addr_pfn directly from the current vmemmap address
instead of carrying it as loop state.

mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix __hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios()
__hugetlb_vmemmap_optimize_folios() uses incorrect arguments when handling
bootmem HugeTLB folios.
The section number passed to register_page_bootmem_memmap() is derived
from the vmemmap virtual address of folio->page instead of the folio PFN,
so the bootmem memmap metadata can be registered against the wrong
section. The helper is also given HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_SIZE even
though it expects a page count, not a size in bytes. In addition, the
write-protect range is based on pages_per_huge_page(h), which does not
cover the full HugeTLB vmemmap area and can leave part of the shared tail
vmemmap mapping writable.
Fix the section lookup to use folio_pfn(folio), use
HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_PAGES when registering the reserved memmap pages,
and use hugetlb_vmemmap_size(h) for the write-protect range.

mm/hugetlb: fix boot panic with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and HVO bootmem pages
Patch series "mm: Refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation", v4.
This series is split out from the earlier larger series "mm: Generalize
HVO for HugeTLB and device DAX" [1]. It collects the first 19 patches of
that series as a standalone set of fixes and preparatory cleanups around
bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and related
vmemmap setup.
The first patches fix a few bugs found while reviewing the existing code,
including incorrect bootmem HVO handling, wrong vmemmap registration
arguments, a powerpc compound-vmemmap tracking bug, and too-late
initialization of gigantic bootmem HugeTLB struct pages.
The rest of the series reorders early memory initialization so the
relevant zone state is available before sparse and HugeTLB boot-time setup
runs, then simplifies the remaining bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation
path and removes code made obsolete by that rework.
At a high level:
- patches [1-4] fix boot-time and arch-specific bugs
- patches [5-12] reorder and simplify sparse/mm/hugetlb early init
- patches [13-19] refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage allocation and
remove obsolete helpers and state
This patch (of 19):

mm/page_alloc: drop flag-conversion "optimisation"
This code uses flag equivalences to try to optimise conversion from GFP_
to ALLOC_ but there's no clear reason to believe it makes things faster.
Even if it gets rid of conditional branches, it just trades them for a
data dependency.
CPUs are pretty good at conditional branches. But, in my GCC x86 build it
doesn't look like there are any branches anyway, the compiler found some
conditional instruction tricks. (Caveat: This was extracted & annotated
by Gemini AI, I did not actually read the disasm myself)
Old code:
ae50: 8b 04 24 mov (%rsp),%eax # Load gfp_mask
...
ae5d: 41 89 c4 mov %eax,%r12d
ae64: 41 81 e4 20 08 00 00 and $0x820,%r12d # Mask both flags at once
...
ae6f: 44 89 e1 mov %r12d,%ecx
ae77: 83 c9 40 or $0x40,%ecx # OR with ALLOC_CPUSET (0x40)
ae7a: 89 4c 24 60 mov %ecx,0x60(%rsp) # Store to alloc_flags
New code:
For __GFP_HIGH ( 0x20 ):
It uses the Carry Flag (via sbb ) to conditionally add 0x20 to the base 0x40 ( ALLOC_CPUSET ) flag:
ae63: 83 e0 20 and $0x20,%eax # Test __GFP_HIGH
...
ae6a: 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%eax # Set carry flag if 0
ae6f: 45 19 e4 sbb %r12d,%r12d # %r12d = (gfp & 0x20) ? 0 : -1
ae80: 41 83 e4 e0 and $0xffffffe0,%r12d # %r12d = (gfp & 0x20) ? 0 : -32
ae87: 41 83 c4 60 add $0x60,%r12d # %r12d = (gfp & 0x20) ? 0x60 : 0x40
For __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM ( 0x800 ):
It uses a conditional move ( cmov ) later in the function to set the ALLOC_KSWAPD ( 0x800 ) bit:
ae72: 25 00 08 00 00 and $0x800,%eax # Test __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM
ae77: 89 44 24 30 mov %eax,0x30(%rsp) # Store result
...
af2c: 80 cf 08 or $0x8,%bh # Set ALLOC_KSWAPD (0x800) in temp reg
af2f: 45 85 c9 test %r9d,%r9d # Check if __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM was set
af32: 0f 44 d8 cmove %eax,%ebx # If not, revert to flags without it

[ 73.905086] page_alloc_test: Test completed
Seems like a wash.
So, drop the flag value coupling here and let the compiler and CPU do
their job. Superscalar CPUs are pretty neat after all.

tools/mm: add page_owner_filter userspace tool
Add a userspace filtering tool for page_owner that supports per-fd filtering with print_mode and NUMA node filters. Features: - Three print modes: stack (default), handle, stack_handle - NUMA node filtering with flexible formats (single: 0, multiple: 0,1,2, range: 0-3, mixed: 0,2-3) - Per-file-descriptor filter state for independent filtering Usage examples: # Filter by print mode ./page_owner_filter -m handle ./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle # Filter by NUMA node ./page_owner_filter -n 0 ./page_owner_filter -n 0-3 # Combined filters ./page_owner_filter -m stack -n 0,1,2 ./page_owner_filter -m handle -n 0,2-3 The tool validates inputs before sending commands to the kernel and provides clear error messages when the kernel does not support per-fd filtering.

mm/page_owner: add NUMA node filter
Add NUMA node filtering functionality to page_owner to allow filtering pages by specific NUMA node(s). This is useful for NUMA-aware memory allocation analysis and debugging. The filter supports flexible input formats: - Single node: nid=0 - Multiple nodes: nid=0,2,3 - Node range: nid=0-3 - Mixed format: nid=0,2-4,7 Example usage: # Using the page_owner_filter tool (recommended) ./page_owner_filter -n 0-3 ./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle -n 0,2-4,7 The implementation uses per-file-descriptor filter state stored in file->private_data, allowing each opener to have independent filter configuration. It uses nodemask_t for efficient multi-node filtering and nodelist_parse() for flexible input parsing. Node validity is verified using nodes_subset() to reject nodes without memory.

mm/page_owner: add print_mode filter
Patch series "mm/page_owner: add per-fd filter infrastructure for
print_mode and NUMA filtering", v12.
This patch series introduces per-file-descriptor filtering capabilities to the
page_owner feature.
Problem Statement
=================
In production environments with large memory configurations (e.g.,
250GB+), collecting page_owner information often results in files ranging
from several gigabytes to over 10GB. This creates significant challenges:
1. Storage pressure on production systems
2. Difficulty transferring large files from production environments
3. Post-processing overhead with tools/mm/page_owner_sort.c
The primary contributor to file size is redundant stack trace information.
While the kernel already deduplicates stacks via stackdepot, page_owner
retrieves and stores full stack traces for each page, only to deduplicate
them again during post-processing.
Additionally, in NUMA-aware environments (e.g., DPDK-based cloud
deployments where QEMU processes are bound to specific NUMA nodes), OOM
events are often node-specific rather than system-wide. Previously,
page_owner could not filter by NUMA node, forcing users to collect and
analyze data for all nodes.
Solution
========
This patch series introduces a per-file-descriptor filter infrastructure
with two initial filters:
1. **Print Mode Filter**: Outputs only stack handles instead of
full stack traces. The handle-to-stack mapping can be retrieved
from the existing show_stacks_handles interface. This dramatically
reduces output size while preserving all allocation metadata.
2. **NUMA Node Filter**: Allows filtering pages by specific NUMA node(s)
using flexible nodelist format, enabling targeted analysis of memory
issues in NUMA-aware deployments.
The per-fd design allows multiple concurrent page_owner reads with
different filters, solving coordination issues in multi-user production
environments.
Implementation
==============
The series is structured as follows:
- Patch 1: Implement print_mode filter infrastructure
* Add file->private_data to store per-fd filter state
* Add .open, .release, and .write file operations
* Support "stack", "handle", and "stack_handle" modes via "mode=" write commands
- Patch 2: Implement NUMA node filter infrastructure
* Add nid_filter field to per-fd state
* Support flexible nodelist format via "nid=" write commands (single, multiple, ranges)
* Validate nodes and reject non-existent nodes using nodes_subset()
- Patch 3: Add page_owner_filter userspace tool
* Manages per-fd filters via write() interface
* Provides user-friendly command-line interface
* Includes comprehensive input validation
- Patch 4: Document filter features and usage
Usage Example
=============
Using the page_owner_filter tool with per-fd filters:
# ./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle -n "0,2-3" -o page_owner.txt
The tool opens /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner, sets filters via write(),
then reads the filtered output to the specified file (or stdout).
Sample print_mode output (showing handles only):
Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x0(), pid 0, tgid 0 (swapper),
ts 0 ns PFN 0x40000 type Unmovable Block 512 type Unmovable
Flags 0x3fffe0000000000(node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)
handle: 1048577
Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x252000(__GFP_NOWARN|
__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_THISNODE), pid 0, tgid 0 (swapper),
ts 0 ns PFN 0x40002 type Unmovable Block 512 type Unmovable
Flags 0x23fffe0000000200(workingset|node=0|zone=0|lastcpupid=0x1ffff)
handle: 1048577
This patch (of 4):
Add a print_mode filter to page_owner that allows users to choose between
printing stack traces, stack handles, or both, providing flexibility for
different debugging and analysis scenarios.
The filter provides three modes via page_owner:
- Writing "mode=stack" prints stack traces for each page (default)
- Writing "mode=handle" prints only the handle number
- Writing "mode=stack_handle" prints both stack traces and handles
The default stack mode maintains backward compatibility with existing
usage, displaying complete stack traces for each page allocation.
The handle mode dramatically reduces log size and improves performance by
showing only the handle number instead of the full stack trace. Testing
shows handle mode reduces output size by ~66% (84MB vs 244MB) and improves
read performance by ~4.4x compared to full stack output. The mapping from
handles to actual stack traces can be obtained via the show_stacks_handles
interface.
The stack_handle mode prints both stack traces and handles, making it
easier to identify pages with the same allocation pattern by comparing
handle numbers instead of comparing large stack traces.
Example usage:
# Using the page_owner_filter tool (recommended)
./page_owner_filter -m stack # Print only stack traces (default)
./page_owner_filter -m handle # Print only handles
./page_owner_filter -m stack_handle # Print both stack and handles
Sample output (handle mode):
Page allocated via order 0, migratetype Unmovable, gfp_mask 0x1100ca,
pid 1, tgid 1 (systemd), ts 123456789 ns
PFN 0x1000 type Unmovable Block 1 type Unmovable
Flags 0x3fffe800000084(referenced|lru|active|private|node=0|zone=1)
handle: 17432583
...
This implementation uses per-file-descriptor filter state stored in
file->private_data, allowing each opener to have independent filter
configuration.

mm: mincore: use walk_page_range_vma() in do_mincore()
Patch series "mm: convert to walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate find_vma()", v2. walk_page_range() performs a find_vma() lookup on each page table walk. For callers that already hold a valid VMA and operate on a known single-VMA range, this lookup is redundant. Replace walk_page_range() with walk_page_range_vma() where the caller guarantees single-VMA semantics. This patch (of 4): do_mincore() uses walk_page_range() to walk the page table. Fortunately, the caller always passes start/end that falls within a single VMA, so it's safe to use the walk_page_range_vma() in do_mincore() to eliminate an unnecessary find_vma() lookup. Unlike walk_page_range(), walk_page_range_vma() does not call walk_page_test(), which handles VM_PFNMAP by invoking ->pte_hole() to skip the page table walk. Without this check, PFNMAP PTEs would be treated as present by mincore_pte_range(), changing the returned residency status. Handle VM_PFNMAP explicitly in do_mincore() to preserve the original behavior.

mm/page_owner: use memcg_data snapshot to avoid TOCTOU in print_page_owner_memcg()
print_page_owner_memcg() reads page->memcg_data via READ_ONCE() at the
start to guard against tail pages and NULL data. However, it later
re-reads page->memcg_data locklessly in two places:
1: page_memcg_check(page)
2: PageMemcgKmem(page) (via folio_memcg_kmem(), which includes
VM_BUG_ON assertions for tail pages and MEMCG_DATA_OBJEXTS)
If the page is concurrently freed and reallocated as a THP tail page or
slab page between these calls, the VM_BUG_ON assertions can trigger on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y builds, crashing the kernel.
Fix both TOCTOU issues by using the memcg_data snapshot throughout.

mm/page_owner: clamp skip_buddy_pages() PFN advance at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary
The lockless buddy_order_unsafe() read can return a garbage order value if the page is concurrently allocated between the PageBuddy check and the private read. If this bogus order is <= MAX_PAGE_ORDER, skip_buddy_pages() would arbitrarily advance the PFN, potentially jumping past a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary whose pfn_valid() check would have caught an offline memory section. In read_page_owner(), which relies solely on boundary-aligned pfn_valid() to guard pfn_to_page(), skipping the boundary could cause pfn_to_page() to access an unmapped mem_section. Clamp the advance so it never crosses the next MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary. This is safe for all three callers: the pageblock-iterating ones already handle boundary transitions in their outer loops, and for read_page_owner() the worst case is one extra PageBuddy check per 1024 pages when a bogus order would otherwise push past the boundary.

mm/page_owner: move free_ts_nsec output to free section in __dump_page_owner()
The free_ts_nsec field is a free-event timestamp, but it was printed in the allocation summary line alongside ts_nsec (allocation time). Move it to the free section where it logically belongs, together with free_pid and free_tgid. This also makes __dump_page_owner() consistent with print_page_owner(), which only prints ts_nsec in the allocation summary. The output now groups all free-related information (pid, tgid, timestamp, stack trace) in one place. No functional change except output formatting.

mm/page_owner: add missing newline to count_threshold format string
The DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE format string for page_owner_threshold_fops is missing a trailing \n. simple_attr_read() uses scnprintf() with the format string, which does not append a newline, so reading /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner_stacks/count_threshold produces output without a terminating newline.

mm: use enum migrate_reason instead of int for migration reason parameters
Replace all 'int reason' function parameters that carry migrate_reason
values with the proper 'enum migrate_reason' type. This makes the intent
explicit and leverages compiler type checking. The affected subsystems
are:
- page_owner: __folio_set_owner_migrate_reason(),
folio_set_owner_migrate_reason()
- migrate: migrate_pages(), migrate_pages_sync(),
migrate_pages_batch(), migrate_folios_move(),
migrate_hugetlbs(), unmap_and_move_huge_page()
- hugetlb: move_hugetlb_state(), htlb_allow_alloc_fallback()
- trace: mm_migrate_pages and mm_migrate_pages_start events
The 'short last_migrate_reason' struct field and internal helper parameter
in page_owner are intentionally left as 'short' since they store per-page
metadata where size matters.
No functional change.

The last_migrate_reason field uses -1 as a sentinel value to mean "no migration has happened". Replace the four bare -1 occurrences by adding a proper MR_NEVER member to enum migrate_reason, defining a corresponding "never_migrated" string in the MIGRATE_REASON trace macro, and updating the GDB page_owner script to use MR_NEVER instead of the hardcoded -1 so that lx-dump-page-owner does not incorrectly report unmigrated pages as migrated.

mm/page_owner: extract skip_buddy_pages() helper to unify buddy page skipping
Patch series "mm/page_owner: misc cleanups", v6. This series collects a few cleanups for mm/page_owner.c that have been accumulated while reading through the file. There is no functional change -- the goal is to make the code easier to read and maintain. Patch 1 consolidates three identical PageBuddy skip blocks into a single skip_buddy_pages() helper, eliminating the duplication and keeping the lockless-read comment in one place. Patch 2 replaces the -1 magic number used for "never migrated" with a proper MR_NEVER member in enum migrate_reason, adds the corresponding "never_migrated" string in the MIGRATE_REASON trace macro, and updates the GDB page_owner script to use MR_NEVER so that lx-dump-page-owner correctly detects unmigrated pages. Patch 3 follows up by converting the remaining 'int reason' parameters throughout the migration and hugetlb callchains to 'enum migrate_reason', making the type explicit and gaining compiler checking. The 'short last_migrate_reason' struct field in page_owner is intentionally left as 'short' since it is per-page metadata where size matters. Patch 4 hoists the CONFIG_MEMCG guard out of print_page_owner_memcg()'s body so that the real implementation and the empty stub are two clearly separate definitions, the common kernel idiom. Patch 5 adds a missing \n to the count_threshold debugfs attribute format string so that cat(1) output is properly terminated. Patch 6 moves free_ts_nsec from the allocation summary line to the free section in __dump_page_owner(), grouping it with free_pid and free_tgid where it logically belongs. This also makes the dump output consistent with print_page_owner(). Patch 7 drops the redundant page_owner_ prefix from file-scoped static symbols (stack_fops, threshold_fops, etc.). Since they cannot collide across translation units, the prefix carries no information. Patch 8 clamps the PFN advance in skip_buddy_pages() at the next MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary. The lockless buddy_order_unsafe() read can return a garbage order value if the page is concurrently allocated between the PageBuddy check and the private read, potentially causing the PFN to advance past the next bounadry whose pfn_valid() check would have caught an offline memory section. In read_page_owner(), which relies solely on boundary-aligned pfn_valid() to guard pfn_to_page(), this could lead to an unmapped mem_section access. Patch 9 avoids two TOCTOU issues in print_page_owner_memcg() by reusing the page->memcg_data snapshot already taken via READ_ONCE at the top of the function throughout, instead of calling page_memcg_check() and PageMemcgKmem() which re-read page->memcg_data locklessly with VM_BUG_ON assertions. If the page is concurrently freed and reallocated as a THP tail or slab page between the initial guards and these later calls, those assertions can fire on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y builds. The OBJEXTS (slab) case is also simplified with an early return since objcg != memcg for slabs. This patch (of 6): Three places in page_owner.c duplicate the same pattern: check if a page is PageBuddy, read its order via buddy_order_unsafe(), advance the pfn past the buddy block if the order is valid, and continue. Consolidate them into a single inline helper skip_buddy_pages(). The function returns true (skip) for any buddy page and advances @pfn past the block when the order is valid; returns false if the page is not a buddy page and should be processed normally. The old init_pages_in_zone() variant used "order > 0" as an extra guard before advancing pfn, but the continue was unconditional and (1UL << 0) - 1 == 0, so the behaviour is identical. The comment about zone->lock is preserved in the helper's kernel-doc. No functional change.

mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task stacks
Patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task", v3.
kmemleak_scan() scans every task stack under one rcu_read_lock() with no
reschedule point, which can trip the soft lockup watchdog on hosts with
very many threads.
That prints the following message, depending on the workload+host
configuration:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537]
scan_block
kmemleak_scan
kmemleak_scan_thread
kthread
Patch 1 walks the tasks with find_ge_pid() so the scan reschedules between
tasks
Patches 2-3 let the scan loops stop early once a scan is interrupted.
This patch (of 3):
kmemleak_scan() walks every thread and scans its kernel stack under a
single rcu_read_lock() with no reschedule point. On a host with very many
threads -- amplified by KASAN/lockdep in debug builds -- this loop can hog
a CPU long enough to trip the soft lockup watchdog:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#35 stuck for 22s! [kmemleak:537]
scan_block
kmemleak_scan
kmemleak_scan_thread
kthread
A cond_resched() cannot be added directly: the loop runs inside an RCU
read-side critical section.
Walk the tasks one PID at a time with find_ge_pid(), taking the RCU read
lock only to look up and pin each task. The stack is then scanned with no
lock held, so cond_resched() runs between tasks and the scan stops early
on scan_should_stop(). This follows the next_tgid()/task_seq_get_next()
iteration pattern and keeps each RCU critical section short.

mm/percpu: make cached pages lookup explicit
pcpu_depopulate_chunk() only needs the temporary pages array that was already allocated by an earlier successful population attempt. Passing GFP_KERNEL to pcpu_get_pages() in this path is misleading because the depopulation path is not expected to allocate the array. Teach pcpu_get_pages() to treat a zero gfp mask as a cached-only lookup and add pcpu_get_pages_cached() for that use case. This keeps allocation on the populate path tied to the caller supplied GFP mask while making the depopulate path's dependency on the cached array explicit.

mm/percpu: honor GFP constraints when populating chunks
pcpu_alloc_noprof() derives pcpu_gfp from the caller supplied GFP mask and passes it down to pcpu_populate_chunk(). pcpu_alloc_pages() already uses that mask for backing page allocation. However, the populate slow path still has internal allocations and page table allocations which can lose the caller's allocation context. The temporary pages array is allocated by pcpu_get_pages() with GFP_KERNEL, and pcpu_map_pages() maps the backing pages through vmap_pages_range_noflush() using GFP_KERNEL. The latter can allocate vmalloc page tables implicitly, so a caller which deliberately uses GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO can still enter FS or IO reclaim while populating a percpu chunk. This has the same concern as chunk creation: callers such as blk-cgroup may use GFP_NOIO because they hold locks which can be involved in queue freeze or IO reclaim dependencies. If an allocation reaches the percpu slow path and needs to populate previously unbacked pages, the internal GFP_KERNEL allocations can defeat that context. One possible case is blk-cgroup after commit |
