selftests/dax: add dax/kmem hotplug sysfs regression test

2026-07-15T21:37:26+00:00

Add a kselftest for the dax/kmem whole-device "state" sysfs attribute (/sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/state), which transitions a kmem-backed dax device between "unplugged", "online" and "online_movable". The kselftest also includes a test to demonstrate the force-unbind does not deadlock - but this is destructive (the dax device can never be rebound), so it only runs when DAX_KMEM_TEST_UNBIND=1 is set. Provisioning a devdax device and binding it to kmem needs daxctl/ndctl out of scope for an in-tree selftest. As the test mutates a device's memory, the operator opts in by naming it in DAX_KMEM_TEST_DEV (or "auto" to pick the first kmem-bound device); it SKIPs when unset, when no device is present, or when the memory cannot be freed to a baseline. When a device is available it validates the interface contract: - online / online_movable actually add memory (MemTotal grows), - online is idempotent, - switching between online types without unplug is rejected, - unplug removes memory and the reported state is "unplugged" - invalid input is rejected, - unplug and unbind tolerate blocks toggled out-of-band through the per-block memoryX/state interface. One specific regression test: online -> unplug -> online_movable -> unplug Re-online must re-reserve per-range resources so subsequent unplug actually offlines and removes instead of silently reporting success while the memory stays online.

kselftest: alloc_tag: add kselftest for ioctl interface

2026-07-15T21:36:47+00:00

Introduce a kselftest to verify the new IOCTL-based interface for /proc/allocinfo. The test covers: 1. Validation of the filename filter. 2. Validation of the function filter. The first test validates the functionality of the filename filter. Using "mm/memory.c" as the candidate filename filter, it retrieves filtered entries from both procfs and ioctl and matches the first VEC_MAX_ENTRIES entries. The second test validates the functionality of the function filter. It uses "dup_mm" as the candidate function as we do not expect this function name to change frequently and hence won't be needing to modify this test often. Note that both the tests match line no, function name and file name fields. Bytes allocated and calls are not matched as those values may change in the time when the data is being read from procfs and ioctl and hence can lead to false negatives.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the lock in anon_pipe_write(). anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves 21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to selftests. - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr() helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC). - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program that was merged into systemd. - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio conversions and iomap migration. Fixes: - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo() callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning. - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs, qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them; the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the minix v3 block size fails. - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API. - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg() from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID path. - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT. - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns() where the tests should SKIP. - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n. - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state. - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in validate_coredump_safety(). - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in __iomap_write_begin(). - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc. Cleanups: - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin() instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x prefixes. - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc() across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2, isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page allocator calls with kmalloc(). - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence. - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path() into start_removing_path(). - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(). - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases. - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free() via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags. - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the allocation against multiplication overflow. - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once. - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd(). - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc(). - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts(). - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code. - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix assorted spelling mistakes" * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (73 commits) backing-file: fix backing_file_open() kerneldoc parameter iomap: pass the correct len to fserror_report_io in __iomap_write_begin vfs: add FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS filelock: fix break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flags bpf: add bpf_real_inode() kfunc fs/read_write: Do not export __kernel_write() to the entire world libfs: drop redundant SB_I_NOEXEC/SB_I_NODEV in init_pseudo() callers libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API fs/fcntl: fix SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling selftests/pipe: add pipe_bench microbenchmark fs/pipe: pre-allocate pages outside pipe->mutex in anon_pipe_write fs: retire stale comment in fget_task_next() fs: fix spelling mistakes in comment bfs: replace get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() binfmt_misc: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() configfs: replace __get_free_pages() with kzalloc() fs/namespace: use __getname() to allocate mntpath buffer fs/select: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() ...

selftests/pipe: add pipe_bench microbenchmark

2026-05-28T12:33:25+00:00

Add a small selftest that stresses pipe->mutex contention by spawning N writer threads that hammer a single pipe with multi-page writes, plus M reader threads that drain. Each writer records its own write() latency samples into a log2-bucketed histogram; main aggregates and prints total writes, throughput, average and percentile (p50/p99) latencies, and the maximum observed latency. Pass --memory-pressure to fork stress-ng (--vm 4 --vm-bytes 80% --vm-method all) for the duration of the run, so alloc_page() in anon_pipe_write() routinely hits direct reclaim. The flag fails fast if stress-ng is not on $PATH. Program print something like the following, for different writes, readers, msgsizes and memory pressure: config: writers=X readers=Y msgsize=Z duration=3 pipe_size=1048576 memory_pressure=[no|yes] writes: total=54451 rate=18150/s throughput_MBps: 1134.40 lat_avg_ns: 275355 lat_p50_ns_upper: 262143 lat_p99_ns_upper: 1048575 lat_max_ns: 2145633 Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260524-fix_pipe-v3-2-bb4a75d23a90@debian.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner (Amutable)
