The only time that 'false' is passed as the 'excl' arg to the ->create
inode_operation is in lookup_open() when ->atomic_open is not provided
by the parent directory.
*all* directory inode_operations which do not have ->atomic_open
completely ignore the 'excl' arg.
Therefore we don't need the 'excl' arg. Those few ->create operations
which pay attention to the arg are only ever called with a value of
'true'.
We remove that arg and change all ->create operations to behave as those
thhe arg were 'true'.

Preparatory patch for userfaultfd read-write protection (RWP). RWP
extends userfaultfd protection from plain write-protection (WP) to full
read-write protection: accesses to an RWP-protected range -- reads as well
as writes -- trap through userfaultfd.
Reserve VM_UFFD_RWP, add the userfaultfd_rwp() and userfaultfd_protected()
helpers, and wire up the smaps "ur" entry and the trace-flag table the
rest of the series will use. The flag is gated on CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP,
which is introduced together with the UAPI in a later patch; until then
VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE and every downstream check folds to dead code.
Nothing sets or queries the flag yet.

Update the wording of the documentation to put v1 encryption policies a
bit more firmly in the past, explicitly calling them "deprecated" (which
is consistent with the warning message the kernel has printed ever since
v5.4). Do the same for FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY which supports only
v1 policies, and remove the explicit recommendation to fall back to it.
Also clarify that reusing master keys across policies isn't the best
practice or normal usage, even though it's technically allowed for v2.

FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_32 with s_blocksize != PAGE_SIZE works
only with the fs-layer implementation of file contents encryption, not
blk-crypto. This is a problem for standardizing on blk-crypto.
Fortunately, no one should be using this combination anyway. It doesn't
make sense because the entire point of IV_INO_LBLK_32 is to support
inline encryption hardware that is limited to 32-bit DUNs.
Thus, fully disallow IV_INO_LBLK_32 with s_blocksize != PAGE_SIZE.

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"The most notable change is the removal of the fscache backend: it has
been deprecated for almost two years, mainly because EROFS file-backed
mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks (together with erofs-utils) now
provide better functionality and simpler codebase. In addition,
fscache has depended on netfslib for years, which is undesirable for
EROFS since it is a local filesystem. More details in [1].
In addition, sparse support has been added to the pcluster layout,
which is helpful for large sparse AI datasets, and map requests for
chunk-based inodes have been optimized to be more efficient as well.
There are also the usual fixes and cleanups.
Summary:
- Report more consecutive chunks of the same type for
each iomap request
- Add sparse support for the pcluster layout
- Update the EROFS documentation overview
- Remove the deprecated fscache backend
- Various fixes and cleanups"

EROFS over fscache was introduced to provide image lazy pulling
functionality. After the feature landed, the fscache subsystem made
netfs a new hard dependency, which is unexpected for a local filesystem
and has an kernel-defined caching hierarchy which could be inflexible
compared to the fanotify pre-content hooks. Therefore, this feature has
been deprecated for almost two years.
As EROFS file-backed mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks both upstream
for a while and already providing equivalent functionality (erofs-utils
has supported fanotify pre-content hooks), let's remove the fscache
backend now.
The main application of this feature is Nydus [1], and they plan to move
to use fanotify pre-content hooks in the near future too.
I hope this patch can be merged into Linux 7.2, which is also motivated
by newly found implementation issues [2][3] that are not worth
investigating given the deprecation and limited development resources.
The associated fscache/cachefiles cleanup patch will follow separately
through the vfs tree (netfs) later: it seems fine since the codebase is
isolated by CONFIG_CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND.

Introduce a new mount option, negtimeout, for v9fs that allows users
to specify how long negative dentries are retained in the cache. The
retention time can be set in milliseconds (e.g. negtimeout=10000 for
a 10secs retention time) or a negative value (e.g. negtimeout=-1) to
keep negative entries until the buffer cache management removes them.
For consistency reasons, this option should only be used in exclusive
or read-only mount scenarios, aligning with the cache=loose usage.

Pull procfs updates from Christian Brauner:
- Revamp fs/filesystems.c
The file was a mess with a hand-rolled linked list in desperate need
of a cleanup. The filesystems list is now RCU-ified, /proc files can
be marked permanent from outside fs/proc/, and the string emitted
when reading /proc/filesystems is pre-generated and cached instead of
pointer-chasing and printfing entry by entry on every read.
The file is read frequently because libselinux reads it and is linked
into numerous frequently used programs (even ones you would not
suspect, like sed!). Scalability also improves since reference
maintenance on open/close is bypassed.

A follow-up patch adds missing unlocks in some corner cases and
tidies things up.
- Relax the mount visibility check for subset=pid mounts
When procfs is mounted with subset=pid, all static files become
unavailable and only the dynamic pid information is accessible. In
that case there is no point in imposing the full mount visibility
restrictions on the mounter - everything that can be hidden in procfs
is already inaccessible. These restrictions prevented procfs from
being mounted inside rootless containers since almost all container
implementations overmount parts of procfs to hide certain
directories.
As part of this /proc/self/net is only shown in subset=pid mounts for
CAP_NET_ADMIN, reconfiguring subset=pid is rejected, the
SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE superblock flag is replaced with an
FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED filesystem flag, fully visible mounts are
recorded in a list, and the mount restrictions are finally
documented.
- Protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock in procfs
Most uses of ptrace_may_access() in procfs should hold
exec_update_lock to avoid TOCTOU issues with concurrent privileged
execve() (like setuid binary execution).
This fixes the easy cases - the owner and visibility checks and the
FD link permission checks - with the gnarlier ones to follow later.

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.

"This removes b_end_io from struct buffer_head.
Instead of setting bio->bi_end_io to end_bio_bh_io_sync() which then
calls bh->b_end_io(), the new bh_submit() and __bh_submit() interfaces

Parallel lookup starts with a call of d_alloc_parallel(). That primitive
either returns a matching hashed dentry or allocates a new one in the
in-lookup state and returns it to the caller. Once the caller is done
with lookup, it indicates so either by call of d_{splice_alias,add}()
or by call of d_done_lookup(); at that point dentry leaves the in-lookup
state.
If d_alloc_parallel() finds a matching in-lookup dentry, it must wait for
that dentry to leave the in-lookup state, one way or another. Currently
by supplying wait_queue_head to d_alloc_parallel(). If d_alloc_parallel()
creates a new in-lookup dentry, the address of that wait_queue_head is stored
in ->d_wait of new dentry and stays there while it's in the in-lookup;
subsequent d_alloc_parallel() will wait on the queue found in the matching
in-lookup dentry. Transition out of in-lookup state wakes waiters on that
queue (if any).
That works, but the calling conventions are inconvenient - the caller must
supply wait_queue_head and make sure that it survives at least until the new
in-lookup dentry leaves the in-lookup state. That amounts to boilerplate
in the d_alloc_parallel() callers that are followed by a call of d_lookup_done()
in the same function; in cases like nfs asynchronous unlink it gets worse than
that.
This patch changes d_alloc_parallel() to use wake_up_var_locked() to
wake up waiters, and wait_var_event_spinlock() to wait. dentry->d_lock
is used for synchronisation as it is already held and the relevant
times.
That eliminates the need of caller-supplied wait_queue_head, simplifying
the calling conventions. Better yet, we only need one bit of information
stored in dentry itself: whether there are any waiters to be woken up,
and that can be easily stored in ->d_flags; ->d_wait goes away.
The reason we need that bit (DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS) is that with wait_var
machinery the queues are shared with all kinds of stuff and there's
no way tell if any of the waiters have anything to do with our dentry;
most of the time none of them will be relevant, so we need to avoid the
pointless wakeups.
Another benefit of the new scheme comes from the fact that wakeups
have to be done outside of write-side critical areas of ->i_dir_seq;
with the old scheme we need to carry the value picked from ->d_wait from
__d_lookup_unhash() to the place where we actually wake the waiters up.
Now we can just leave DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS in ->d_flags until we get
to doing wakeups - that's done within the same ->d_lock scope, so we
are fine; new bit is accessed only under ->d_lock and it's seen only
on dentries with DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP in ->d_flags.
__d_lookup_unhash() no longer needs to re-init ->d_lru. That was
previously shared (in a union) with ->d_wait but ->d_wait is now gone
so it no longer corrupts ->d_lru.

From: Wenjie Qi <qiwenjie@xiaomi.com>
F2FS already classifies DATA writes using its existing hot, warm and cold
temperature policy, but it only passes that intent down as a write hint.
That hint alone is not sufficient for NVMe FDP placement, because the
current NVMe command path consumes `bio->bi_write_stream` rather than
`bio->bi_write_hint` when selecting a placement ID.
When the target block device exposes write streams, map the existing F2FS
DATA temperature classes onto stream IDs and set `bio->bi_write_stream`
for both buffered and direct writes. If the device exposes no write
streams, keep the current behavior by leaving the stream unset.
The stream mapping is evaluated against the target block device of each
bio, so the existing per-device fallback behavior stays unchanged for
multi-device filesystems. Existing blkzoned restrictions also remain in
place.
The mapping is intentionally small and deterministic:
- 1 stream: hot, warm and cold all use stream 1
- 2 streams: hot/warm use 1, cold uses 2
- 3+ streams: hot uses 1, warm uses 2, cold uses 3

This document is motivated by the ongoing maintenance burden that
abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking
infrastructure changes such as folio conversions and iomap migration.
This week alone, two new filesystems were proposed on linux-fsdevel
(VMUFAT and FTRFS), highlighting the need for documented guidelines
that new filesystem authors can refer to before submission.
Multiple recent discussions on linux-fsdevel have touched on the
criteria for merging new filesystems and for deprecating old ones,
covering topics such as modern VFS interface adoption, testability,
userspace utilities, maintainer commitment, and user base viability.
Add Documentation/filesystems/adding-new-filesystems.rst describing
the technical requirements and community expectations for merging a
new filesystem into the kernel. The guidelines cover:
- Alternatives to consider before proposing a new in-kernel filesystem
- Technical requirements: modern VFS interfaces (iomap, folios,
fs_context mount API), testability, and userspace utilities
- Community expectations: identified maintainers, demonstrated
commitment, sustained backing, and a clear user base
- Ongoing obligations after merging, including the risk of deprecation
for unmaintained filesystems

When 0 is written to the tasks file it is interpreted as the current task in
rdtgroup_move_task(). Each CPU's idle task has task_struct::pid set to 0 and,
on x86, task_struct::closid to RESCTRL_RESERVED_CLOSID and task_struct::rmid
to RESCTRL_RESERVED_RMID.
Equivalently, on MPAM platforms, thread_info::mpam_partid_pmg is encoded with
PARTID and PMG set to RESCTRL_RESERVED_CLOSID and RESCTRL_RESERVED_RMID,
respectively. As there is no interface to change these from the default, the
resctrl configuration for the idle tasks is fixed and they always behave
equivalently to a task in the default tasks file and so take their
configuration from the cpus/cpus_list files.
On read of the tasks file, show_rdt_tasks() filters out any 0 PID. Hence, a
task id of 0 is never shown in the tasks file and the idle tasks are not
represented either.

configurable
When the counter assignment mode is mbm_event resctrl assumes the MBM
events are configurable and exposes the 'event_filter' files. These files
live at info/L3_MON/event_configs/<event>/event_filter and are used to
display and set the event configuration.
The MPAM architecture has support for configuring the memory bandwidth
utilization (MBWU) counters to only count reads or only count
writes. However, in MPAM, this event filtering support is optional in the
hardware (and not yet implemented in the MPAM driver) but MBM counter
assignment is always possible for MPAM MBWU counters.
In order to support mbm_event mode with MPAM, create the 'event_filter'
files read only if the event configuration can't be changed. A user can
still chmod the file and so also return early with an error from
event_filter_write().
Introduce a new monitor property, mbm_cntr_configurable, to indicate
whether or not assignable MBM counters are configurable. On x86, set this
to true whenever mbm_cntr_assignable is true to keep existing behaviour.

claims
Two paragraphs in cramfs.rst have been misleading for a long time:
- "Hard links are supported, but hard linked files will still have
a link count of 1": mkcramfs does not preserve hard links; it
deduplicates by content (eliminate_doubles()). Two names for
the same on-disk inode in the source tree become two separate
(content-shared) entries in the image, and cramfs always reports
a link count of 1.
- "Currently, cramfs must be written and read with architectures of
the same endianness ... PAGE_SIZE == 4096 ... is a bug, but it
hasn't been decided what the best fix is": the endianness
situation has been settled for years -- the kernel checks for
CRAMFS_MAGIC_WEND in cramfs_fill_super() and refuses the mount,
and mkcramfs has gained -B / -L for producing images of the
opposite endianness from the build host (useful for cross-builds,
but the reader still needs to match). Restate this accurately.
