[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] nilfs2-avoid-having-an-active-sc_timer-before-freeing-sci.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: nilfs2: avoid having an active sc_timer before freeing sci has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was nilfs2-avoid-having-an-active-sc_timer-before-freeing-sci.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Edward Adam Davis <eadavis(a)qq.com> Subject: nilfs2: avoid having an active sc_timer before freeing sci Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 07:51:52 +0900 Because kthread_stop did not stop sc_task properly and returned -EINTR, the sc_timer was not properly closed, ultimately causing the problem [1] reported by syzbot when freeing sci due to the sc_timer not being closed. Because the thread sc_task main function nilfs_segctor_thread() returns 0 when it succeeds, when the return value of kthread_stop() is not 0 in nilfs_segctor_destroy(), we believe that it has not properly closed sc_timer. We use timer_shutdown_sync() to sync wait for sc_timer to shutdown, and set the value of sc_task to NULL under the protection of lock sc_state_lock, so as to avoid the issue caused by sc_timer not being properly shutdowned.

Its filename was scripts-decode_stacktracesh-fix-build-id-and-pc-source-parsing.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Carlos Llamas <cmllamas(a)google.com> Subject: scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: fix build ID and PC source parsing Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 01:03:33 +0000 Support for parsing PC source info in stacktraces (e.g. '(P)') was added in commit 2bff77c665ed ("scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh: fix decoding of lines with an additional info"). However, this logic was placed after the build ID processing. This incorrect order fails to parse lines containing both elements, e.g.: drm_gem_mmap_obj+0x114/0x200 [drm 03d0564e0529947d67bb2008c3548be77279fd27] (P) This patch fixes the problem by extracting the PC source info first and then processing the module build ID. With this change, the line above is now properly parsed as such: drm_gem_mmap_obj (./include/linux/mmap_lock.h:212 ./include/linux/mm.h:811 drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c:1177) drm (P) While here, also add a brief explanation the build ID section.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-damon-sysfs-change-next_update_jiffies-to-a-global-variable.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon/sysfs: change next_update_jiffies to a global variable has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-sysfs-change-next_update_jiffies-to-a-global-variable.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Quanmin Yan <yanquanmin1(a)huawei.com> Subject: mm/damon/sysfs: change next_update_jiffies to a global variable Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 10:07:46 +0800 In DAMON's damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn(), time_before() is used to compare the current jiffies with next_update_jiffies to determine whether to update the sysfs files at this moment. On 32-bit systems, the kernel initializes jiffies to "-5 minutes" to make jiffies wrap bugs appear earlier. However, this causes time_before() in damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() to unexpectedly return true during the first 5 minutes after boot on 32-bit systems (see [1] for more explanation, which fixes another jiffies-related issue before). As a result, DAMON does not update sysfs files during that period. There is also an issue unrelated to the system's word size[2]: if the user stops DAMON just after next_update_jiffies is updated and restarts it after 'refresh_ms' or a longer delay, next_update_jiffies will retain an older value, causing time_before() to return false and the update to happen earlier than expected. Fix these issues by making next_update_jiffies a global variable and initializing it each time DAMON is started.

by Andrew Morton

Its filename was mm-damon-stat-change-last_refresh_jiffies-to-a-global-variable.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Quanmin Yan <yanquanmin1(a)huawei.com> Subject: mm/damon/stat: change last_refresh_jiffies to a global variable Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 10:07:45 +0800 Patch series "mm/damon: fixes for the jiffies-related issues", v2. On 32-bit systems, the kernel initializes jiffies to "-5 minutes" to make jiffies wrap bugs appear earlier. However, this may cause the time_before() series of functions to return unexpected values, resulting in DAMON not functioning as intended. Meanwhile, similar issues exist in some specific user operation scenarios. This patchset addresses these issues. The first patch is about the DAMON_STAT module, and the second patch is about the core layer's sysfs. This patch (of 2): In DAMON_STAT's damon_stat_damon_call_fn(), time_before_eq() is used to avoid unnecessarily frequent stat update. On 32-bit systems, the kernel initializes jiffies to "-5 minutes" to make jiffies wrap bugs appear earlier. However, this causes time_before_eq() in DAMON_STAT to unexpectedly return true during the first 5 minutes after boot on 32-bit systems (see [1] for more explanation, which fixes another jiffies-related issue before). As a result, DAMON_STAT does not update any monitoring results during that period, which becomes more confusing when DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT is enabled. There is also an issue unrelated to the system's word size[2]: if the user stops DAMON_STAT just after last_refresh_jiffies is updated and restarts it after 5 seconds or a longer delay, last_refresh_jiffies will retain an older value, causing time_before_eq() to return false and the update to happen earlier than expected. Fix these issues by making last_refresh_jiffies a global variable and initializing it each time DAMON_STAT is started.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] codetag-debug-handle-existing-codetag_empty-in-mark_objexts_empty-for-slabobj_ext.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: codetag: debug: handle existing CODETAG_EMPTY in mark_objexts_empty for slabobj_ext has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was codetag-debug-handle-existing-codetag_empty-in-mark_objexts_empty-for-slabobj_ext.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Hao Ge <gehao(a)kylinos.cn> Subject: codetag: debug: handle existing CODETAG_EMPTY in mark_objexts_empty for slabobj_ext Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 09:43:17 +0800 When alloc_slab_obj_exts() fails and then later succeeds in allocating a slab extension vector, it calls handle_failed_objexts_alloc() to mark all objects in the vector as empty. As a result all objects in this slab (slabA) will have their extensions set to CODETAG_EMPTY. Later on if this slabA is used to allocate a slabobj_ext vector for another slab (slabB), we end up with the slabB->obj_exts pointing to a slabobj_ext vector that itself has a non-NULL slabobj_ext equal to CODETAG_EMPTY. When slabB gets freed, free_slab_obj_exts() is called to free slabB->obj_exts vector. free_slab_obj_exts() calls mark_objexts_empty(slabB->obj_exts) which will generate a warning because it expects slabobj_ext vectors to have a NULL obj_ext, not CODETAG_EMPTY. Modify mark_objexts_empty() to skip the warning and setting the obj_ext value if it's already set to CODETAG_EMPTY.

Suppose that the first pte of the batch is writable while the others are not - set_ptes will end up setting the writable bit on the other ptes, which is a violation of mremap semantics. Therefore, use FPB_RESPECT_WRITE to check the writable bit while determining the pte batch.

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/truncate: unmap large folio on split failure has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-truncate-unmap-large-folio-on-split-failure.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kiryl Shutsemau <kas(a)kernel.org> Subject: mm/truncate: unmap large folio on split failure Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 11:56:36 +0000 Accesses within VMA, but beyond i_size rounded up to PAGE_SIZE are supposed to generate SIGBUS. This behavior might not be respected on truncation. During truncation, the kernel splits a large folio in order to reclaim memory. As a side effect, it unmaps the folio and destroys PMD mappings of the folio. The folio will be refaulted as PTEs and SIGBUS semantics are preserved. However, if the split fails, PMD mappings are preserved and the user will not receive SIGBUS on any accesses within the PMD. Unmap the folio on split failure. It will lead to refault as PTEs and preserve SIGBUS semantics. Make an exception for shmem/tmpfs that for long time intentionally mapped with PMDs across i_size.
