Linux 7.3 changelog.

Summary: Linux 7.3 improves gaming performance on low-end GPUs by improving VRAM management; it also adds completed support for assigning individual BPF task schedulers for each individual cgroup and more performant cgroup scheduling; better btrfs and ext4 performance; support for a new sandboxing technique using a new failfs pseudofilesystem + a new fchroot(2) system call; support for the RWF_DONTCACHE flag when opening block devices as an alternative to Direct I/O; a more powerful binfmt_misc for distros like NixOS, SMB server support for Apple Time Machine extensions and other improvements; userfaultfd(2) support for better tracking the working set of VM guest memory; and better performance for FUSE servers using io_uring. As always, there are many other features, new drivers, improvements and fixes.

1. Prominent features

1.1. Improved VRAM management for low-end GPUs

When your GPU does not have (as it's usually the case) enough VRAM (Video RAM), different applications can end up competing for VRAM. Due to the way VRAM allocation worked, if two applications consumed a lot of VRAM, the one that arrived the latest, which could have more priority, could not get enough VRAM and end up allocation space from the GTT (system RAM accessible by the GPU). This release allows using the dmem cgroup to alleviate the situation: Instead of backing off immediately, the system will try evicting unprotected buffers from the domain to make space for the protected one. This ensures that applications can actually use all the memory protection awarded to them by the system, without being prone to ping-ponging.

1.2. Support for cgroup sub-schedulers (sched_ext) has been completed

After some work, this release has finally completed the implementation of sched_ext: this allows a cgroup have its processes be managed by its own BPF-based task scheduler. Different cgroups can have different BPF sub-schedulers and take different scheduling decisions.

Documentation: Extensible Scheduler Class

Merge commit: Pull sched_ext updates

1.3. Improved cgroup scheduling and other task scheduling improvements

Cgroup scheduling has always been problematic and painful. Fair/cgroup isn't working for a number of people; typically the complaint is latencies and/or overhead. The problems starts with weight distribution and end with hierachical picks. This release improves cgroup scheduling in these fronts: It adds various cgroup weight distribution methods via cgroup_mode: 'up', 'max', 'concur' and 'tasks' - with the default being 'concur' which is the most precise (yet also most expensive version). Finally, change cgroup scheduling to a single runqueue.

This release also improves the scheduling latency of tasks with shorter slice duration by mainly canceling, updating or minimizing the protection of the running tasks when appropriate. And cluster scheduling in the presence of asymmetric capacity has been fixed.

Merge commit: Pull scheduler updates

1.4. New sandboxing technique with failfs + fchroot(2)

This release a new sandboxing mechanism, based on a new pseudo-file system, failfs, a counterpart of nullfs: where nullfs semantics are "there is nothing here", failfs semantics are "nothing is supported here. Because of these properties, nothing can ever be mounted on top of it, it cannot be mounted from userspace either, it cannot be cloned and it does not show up in statmount()/listmount(), /proc/<pid>/mountinfo, or /proc/filesystems.

For a process with its root directory or working directory in failfs, absolute paths, absolute symlinks, and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail. A process can move its root directory into failfs via the new fchroot(2) system call, doing fchroot(FD_FAILFS_ROOT). From that point on every absolute path lookup and every absolute symlink fails with EOPNOTSUPP. Combined with fchdir(FD_FAILFS_ROOT), this leaves the process with lookups anchored at explicit directory file descriptors only. This allows taks to drop their filesystem state completely: the process must have anchored every path lookup at an explicit file descriptor before doing so, or is doomed to fail any lookup.

The new fchroot(2) system call mentioned above is a new system call. It is a file descriptor based counterpart to chroot(2): it avoids re-resolving a path that the caller already holds a file descriptor to, no TOCTOU between resolving the target and changing the root. It composes with modern fd-based APIs meaning it works with O_PATH file descriptors and file descriptors to detached mount trees created via open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE).

1.5. Btrfs and Ext4 performance improvements

This release adds some performance improvements in Btrfs: Direct I/O performance has recovered the performance it lost in previous releases due to other unrelated work; and for non-SSD disks, the removal of an unnecesary 1 jiffy delay during logging workloads (eg. fsync) leads to decrease latency and 5x increased throughput. fsync with the no-holes feature enabled (default since btrfs-progs 5.15) is also 5x faster, and an xarray has been replaced with local LRU list for tracking inhibited extent buffers, restoring performance to pre-inhibition state (relatively ~3x).

Ext4 has also got some performance improvements: Improve performance of direct I/O parallel writes, improve fallocate() performance, and a buffered-write regression has been fixed.

1.6. More powerful binfmt_misc for sophisticated distros

This release extends the binfmt_misc format registry so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at registration time. This allows Nix and others to e.g., implement relocatable binaries without patchelf tricks or wrapper scripts, because the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is flexible and can support other policies

1.7. SMB server support for Apple Time Machine extensions

This release adds SMB server support for various features: opt-in Apple Time Machine support; implement the SMB2 command sequence window (which enforce the credit-based MessageId range for each connection, preventing invalid requests and same-channel replays), SMB3 request replay support, per-share SMB3 encryption support, and SMB Direct RDMA encryption support.

Merge commit: Pull smb server updates

1.8. Better separation between kernel threads and PID 1

After the kernel starts PID 1 (eg. systemd), then starts kthreadd, which makes all kthreads (kernel threads) and PID 1 share the same filesystem state. This wierdly allows pivot_root() to rewrite the file system state of all kthreads. In this release PID 1 gets a completely separate fs_struct, while all kthreads are isolated in a separate nullfs mount.

Cover letter: fs,kthread: start all kthreads in nullfs

1.9. Add support userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory

This release adds userfaultfd(2) support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory. A new flag UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP enables read-write protection tracking on a memory range. It is similar to (but faster than) mprotect(PROT_NONE) combined with a signal handler. It is designed for VM memory managers that need to track the working set of guest memory for cold page eviction to tiered or remote storage.

Cover letter: userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory

1.10. Better FUSE io_uring performance

This release allows FUSE servers to pass in a buffer pool that the kernel will use as it wishes for servicing requests, in a way that reduces the memory usage requirements needed to use fuse-io-uring and lets the kernel do any optimizations for assigning payload memory to requests.

This series additionally adds zero copy to fuse io-uring. The FUSE server can directly access client pages or page cache folios without copying data through an intermediary buffer. This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges and using buffer pools.

Documentation: 3. FUSE-over-io-uring design documentation

Cover letter: fuse: add io-uring buffer pools and zero-copy

1.11. RWF_DONTCACHE for block devices, an alternative for Direct I/O

This release allows using the RWF_DONTCACHE flag (used in preadv2(2), pwritev2(2), and io_uring read and write requests) when opening block devices. This allows databases open a raw block device and have the ability to keep data in the kernel's page cache when it benefits from it (not using the flag), and opt out per request for the data that does not (using it), without the downsides of direct I/O.

2. Core (various)

• Add failfs: nullfs provides a permanently empty and immutable directory. Lookups fail with ENOENT. The directory can be opened, read, stat, mounted upon. It behaves like nothing is there. This release add its counterpart failfs, where the semantics are not "there is nothing here" but "nothing is supported here". Every operation that reaches the filesystem fails with EOPNOTSUPP. This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept. It's possible to chroot() into failfs as an unprivileged user provided the task has no new privileges set (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• binfmt_misc

  • (FEATURED) Support bpf-backed binary type handlers. Both the matching and the interpreter selection can now be delegated to a bpf program (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • (FEATURED) Support transparent interpreters (binfmt_misc dispatch hands the binary to the interpreter through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly as the caller built it) and PT_INTERP loader substitution (the kernel executes the matched binary natively as the main image and substitutes the registered interpreter for the binary's PT_INTERP) (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Optimise the size check get_futex_key() (cover), commit

• (FEATURED) kthread: start all kthreads in nullfs. This stops kernel threads from sharing filesystem state with userspace. The visible result is that /proc/2/root (2 being a kthread PID) is a nullfs with an empty mountinfo while /proc/1/root is the real root (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • sched_ext: Capability-based CPU delegation for sub-schedulers. Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities (enqueueing, preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children, enforced on every path a scheduler can reach a CPU through. Previously only dispatching could be delegated; this lets sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • sched_ext: Bandwidth-limited rescue execution for stranded tasks. Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the CPUs the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected the whole scheduler.

  • sched_ext: Update core-sched task ordering for scheduler hierarchies (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit

  • sched_ext: Cgroup migration and op delivery for sub-schedulers.

3. File systems

• BTRFS

• filemap: reduce unnecessary xarray lookups. Small speedup in the pagecaache read code (cover), commit, commit

• swap: Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving faster swap throughput during kernel builds Recommended LWN article, (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• swap: reintroduce per-folio writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly export their own swap_ops (cover), commit, commit, commit

• zsmalloc: reduce lock contention in zs_free(), which dominates the unmap path under memory pressure on Android (LMK kills) and on x86 servers running zswap-heavy workloads. Up to 1.83x improvement in microbenchmarking (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit

• zswap: Implement per-cgroup proactive writeback (cover), commit, commit

• Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter aggregation. This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• vmpressure: reduce CPU, memory and code overhead on cgroup v2. Optimize vmpressure() by skipping unnecessary work on cgroup v2 for userspace event notifications and refactor v1-only eventfd handling into mm/memcontrol-v1.c to reduce memory overhead and code complexity (cover), commit, commit

• Slab

  • Runtime instead of compile-time slabobj_ext sizing. Avoid wasting memory when memory allocation profiling is compiled but not enabled, with initial partial support to also avoid wasting memory for objcg pointers when those are not needed, while profiling is enabled (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

  • Add kfree_rcu_nolock() that can be used from contexts where spinning on a lock might be unsafe, such as a BPF program attached to an arbitrary function, or in NMI context. This complements the existing kfree_nolock() support (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• memch: Bail out reclaim when memcg is dying. Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit

• memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages. Introduce an opt-in vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed, silent data corruption (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• Drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths. Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead. By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit

• (FEATURED) userfaultfd: Working set tracking for vm guest memory. Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• Performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm. Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure (cover), commit, commit

• hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings. Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.

• dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs. Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions.

• Convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim. Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths. It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim() (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit

• vmscan: Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled (cover), commit, commit

• vmscan: Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired producer updates. Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over 60% without impacting scan throughput (cover), commit, commit, commit

• Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios. Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity (cover), commit, commit, commit

• damon

  • Detect internal variation above max_nr_regions/2. Fix DAMON's region splitting behavior when region counts exceed half the maximum budget by dynamically scaling down the split fraction as the limit approaches, preventing large regions from staying un-split, and add corresponding KUnit test coverage (cover), commit, commit

  • Introduce data attributes only monitoring. Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

• Fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode. Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production. It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit

• rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping (cover), commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
