Subject: [merged mm-stable] xarray-honor-xa_flags_account-in-xas_split_alloc.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:53:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825015334.CBAC71F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: xarray: honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
xarray-honor-xa_flags_account-in-xas_split_alloc.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: xarray: honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc()
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 17:04:28 -0400
XArray operations that allocate xa_nodes, such as xas_nomem() and
xas_alloc(), add __GFP_ACCOUNT when the array has XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT set.
This charges the allocated memory and avoids the workingset convergence
issue described by commit 7b785645e8f13 ("mm: fix page cache convergence
regression").
xas_split_alloc() does not add _GFP_ACCOUNT when XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT is
present. Fix it.

Fixes: 6b24ca4a1a8d ("mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache")
