2026-08-19virtio: add virtio_device_shutdown() helperDenis V. Lunev
The generic virtio bus .shutdown handler, virtio_dev_shutdown(), breaks and resets a device once it has established that the driver has no .shutdown of its own. A driver that does implement .shutdown, to quiesce its own activity first, still needs the same break and reset afterwards and would otherwise have to open code it. Factor the break + synchronize_cbs + reset sequence out of virtio_dev_shutdown() into an exported virtio_device_shutdown() helper so such drivers can reuse it instead of duplicating the core logic. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org> Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann: "The 32-bit Arm platforms are a bit more interesting this time: I refreshed an earlier series to mark code as deprecated that does have the tendency of getting in the way of cleanups and new features but has close to zero users. Among these are: - 22 of the remaining 28 legacy board files that predate the current devicetree based descriptions, using old chips from Intel and Marvell. The remaining six board files are for TI OMAP1 and Samsung s3c64xx chips and all still have known users. - support for Cortex-M3/M4/M7 and ARM1136r0 CPU cores and the 25 machines based on these. These all use devicetree but the CPU support causes disproportional work. Most of them are just reference boards, the notable exceptions being the Nokia N800/N810 tablet and the Buglabs BUG platform. - be8, be32, oabi and iwmmxt userspace binaries, which were mostly associated with the platforms now scheduled for removal and are increasingly problematic to support with modern toolchains. Nothing is actually removed at this point, to ensure that any remaining users continue to have the 7.3-LTS for a while longer. Patches for removal are currently being tested.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error. For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that the discrepancy is smoothed away over time - Make tick length calculations correct in NTP. The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH. While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM deviation. Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via adjtimex(). - The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to achieve the desired rate. - Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and adjusting both accordingly. - A set of updates and improvements for the selftests - The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place * tag 'timers-core-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (58 commits) selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Check all calls to clock_nanosleep() and clock_gettime() selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC define for unreasonable latency selftests: timers: nanosleep: Report each test separately selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly handle timer_delete() failure selftests: timers: nanosleep: Move all single clock tests out of the loop in main() selftests: timers: nanosleep: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nanosleep: Drop output alignment selftests: timers: Use clock_name() and constants from clock-helpers.h selftests: Add clock-helpers.h timer_list: Use ktime_t over nanoseconds timer_list: Use standard 'long long' format placeholders hrtimer: Add a lockdep assertion to hrtimer_update_base() timekeeping: Use u32 for clock_was_set_seq timekeeping: Rename clockid_aux_valid() to clockid_is_aux_clock() hrtimer: Account nr_retries on recovered interrupt retries timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace nohz: Replace dead select with choice default ...

The various smp call functions keep preemption disabled accross the full operation which includes the wait for completion. Especially the latter can take some time when one of the target CPUs is not immediately responding to the IPI, which can result in large latency spikes. To improve this provide a per task CPU mask to track the CPUs to wait for. That makes the information required for the wait task local and therefore allows to reenable preemption before the wait. While this comes with moderate extra memory cost this reduces SMP function call induced latency measured in a fleet for high priority tasks from ~17ms to ~1.5ms (~90%). - Reduce the overhead of the CSD debug code by replacing the heavy memory barriers with smp_store_release()/acquire() - Remove obsolute unused hotplug states * tag 'smp-core-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: scftorture: Remove preempt_disable() in scftorture_invoke_one() smp: Remove preempt_disable() from on_each_cpu_cond_mask() smp: Remove preempt_disable() from smp_call_function() smp: Enable preemption early in smp_call_function_many_cond() smp: Alloc percpu csd data in smpcfd_prepare_cpu() only once smp: Use task-local IPI cpumask in smp_call_function_many_cond() smp: Refactor remote CPU selection in smp_call_function_any() smp: Enable preemption early in smp_call_function_single() smp: Disable preemption explicitly in __csd_lock_wait() cpu/hotplug: Remove CPUHP_AP_ARM_CORESIGHT_CTI_STARTING smp: Use release stores for csd_lock_record() state

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by separating the storage model in the affected architectures. * tag 'core-entry-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) entry, treewide: Make syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() indicate syscall execution entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool entry: Rework trace_syscall_enter() entry: Rework syscall_audit_enter() syscall_user_dispatch: Introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH entry: Fix seccomp bypass after ptrace with TSYNC x86/entry: Simplify the syscall number logic x86/entry: Get rid of the sys_ni_syscall() indirection x86/entry: Make syscall functions static ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry() seccomp, treewide: Rename and convert __secure_computing() to return boolean entry: Use syscall number instead of rereading it entry: Remove syscall_enter_from_user_mode() x86/syscall: Use [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() s390/syscall: Use enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() powerpc/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() loongarch/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() randomize_kstack: Provide add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff() ...

There is also a significant update of irqchip code related to ACPI done in order to enable GICv5 IWB ACPI probe ordering detection on ARM, which involves RISC-V interrupt controller management code refactoring to extract generic code from it into the common ACPI IRQ code. The rest is mostly fixes, including some fallout of the _OSC handling rework in 7.0, ACPI CPPC library fixes, a workaround for registering ACPI platform devices with overlapping I/O or memory resources, an ACPI EC driver fix related to probe deferral on platforms using HW-reduced ACPI, two ACPI battery driver fixes and a workaround for handling model numbers with unprintable characters in it, probe error cleanup and driver unload code path fixes, hardware error reporting fixes, documentation fixes, and assorted code cleanups all over.

Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers: "The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two. Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code. The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now, "-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used. To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW. Overall, this removes quite a bit of redundant code from ext4, f2fs, and fs/crypto/. It should make things easier for ongoing filesystem efforts such as iomap support, large folios, and btrfs encryption (btrfs had already been planning to use blk-crypto exclusively.) There are two small behavior changes of note: - Direct I/O now works on encrypted files even without "-o inlinecrypt", rather than falling back to buffered I/O. This is effectively a bugfix, though I'll continue to keep an eye out for any user that may have been depending on the buffered I/O fallback. - IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies are no longer supported in certain cases that didn't make sense and have no known uses. This has been in linux-next since July 22 with no reported issues. All encryption xfstests pass on ext4 and f2fs. As usual I've also been using it on a system with an fscrypt-encrypted home directory. Of course, the blk-crypto code paths also aren't new and were already being used on many systems via the inlinecrypt mount option. In addition to the main change described above, there are a few other cleanups such as using lock guards for mutexes, improving documentation, and removing a workaround for outdated gcc versions" * tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linux: (29 commits) blk-crypto: Update docs for blk-crypto-fallback motivation blk-crypto: Remove unused function blk_crypto_config_supported() fscrypt: Update docs for data path fscrypt: Remove unused function fscrypt_finalize_bounce_page() f2fs: Update outdated comment in f2fs_write_begin() fs: Update outdated comment for SB_INLINECRYPT fscrypt: Update encryption policy version docs fscrypt: Replace some variable-size memsets with fixed-size fscrypt: Add safety checks to non-block-based en/decryption fscrypt: Merge bio.c and inline_crypt.c into block.c fscrypt: Remove unused functions and workqueue fscrypt: Remove fs-layer zeroout code fscrypt: Remove fscrypt_dio_supported() fscrypt: Replace calls to fscrypt_inode_uses_inline_crypto() fs/buffer: Remove fs-layer decryption code f2fs: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code ext4: Further de-generalize the bio postprocessing code ext4: Make ext4_bio_write_folio() return void ext4: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code Documentation: fscrypt: Update docs for inlinecrypt ...

If not, it indicates a corrupted map record/bitmap and mounts the volume as read-only (SB_RDONLY) to prevent further damage. - Validate catalog CNIDs before instantiating inodes (David Maximiliano Hermitte) The hfs_cat_find_brec() first resolves a catalog thread record by CNID and then looks up the corresponding catalog record by parent/name. On a corrupted filesystem image, the second lookup may find a record whose CNID does not match the CNID that was requested. Finally, corrupted catalog records are rejected. - Validate B-tree record offset table (Jiaming Zhang) A crafted HFS+ image can contain a corrupted B-tree node. The node descriptor may contain a record count that does not fit in the node, and record offsets may be unordered, unaligned, outside the node, or point into the offset table itself. Validate num_recs against the node size before walking the record offset table. Reject record ranges that are unordered, unaligned, outside the node, or overlapping the offset table. Reject invalid record indexes before reading their offset entries, and avoid decrementing an already-zero leaf_count. - Refactoring of hfsplus_delete_cat() logic (Kyle Zeng). The hfsplus_delete_cat() is called with str == NULL when the last open reference to an unlinked HFS+ hardlink backing inode is closed. In that case, the function finds the catalog thread by CNID and rebuilds the catalog key from thread.nodeName. A corrupted image can therefore provide an oversized thread name length and make hfs_bnode_read() write past the catalog search-key allocation. Read the CNID record through hfsplus_brec_read_cat(), which bounds the record read to sizeof(hfsplus_cat_entry) and verifies that a thread record's size exactly matches nodeName.length. - Cleanup in KUnit test (Mohammad Shahid) The kfree() safely handles NULL pointers, so the explicit NULL check in free_mock_str_env() before calling kfree() is unnecessary. The rest contain fixes of generic/564 xfstests' test-case failure for the case of HFS+ file system, syzbot reported issue in hfs_mdb_commit() and hfs_mdb_close() methods of HFS file system, and reworking the MDB locking scheme in HFS file system" * tag 'hfs-v7.3-tag1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vdubeyko/hfs: hfsplus: validate extent record length before writing it back hfsplus: validate B-tree record offset table hfs: rework MDB locking scheme fs: hfsplus: remove redundant NULL check before kfree() hfs: port HFS+ b-tree bitmap corruption check hfs: don't re-dirty MDB buffers after a write failure hfsplus: fix error code when writing beyond volume capacity hfs: fix error code when writing beyond volume capacity hfsplus: validate thread record before delete key rebuild hfs: validate catalog CNIDs before instantiating inodes

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue Tony Nguyen says: ==================== Introduce iXD driver Larysa Zaremba says: This patch series adds the iXD driver, which supports the Intel(R) Control Plane PCI Function on Intel E2100 and later IPUs and FNICs. It facilitates a centralized control over multiple IDPF PFs/VFs/SFs exposed by the same card. The reason for the separation is to be able to offload the control plane to the host different from where the data plane is running. This is the first phase in the release of this driver where we implement the initialization of the core PCI driver. Subsequent phases will implement advanced features like usage of idpf ethernet aux device, link management, NVM update via devlink, switchdev port representors, data and exception path, flow rule programming, etc. The first phase entails the following aspects: 1. Additional libie functionalities: Patches 1-5 introduce additional common library API for drivers to communicate with the control plane through mailbox communication. A control queue is a hardware interface which is used by the driver to interact with other subsystems (like firmware). The library APIs allow the driver to setup and configure the control queues to send and receive virtchnl messages. The library has an internal bookkeeping (XN API) mechanism to keep track of the send messages. It supports both synchronous as well as asynchronous way of handling the messages. The library also handles the timeout internally for synchronous messages using events. This reduces the driver's overhead in handling the timeout error cases. The current patch series supports only APIs that are needed for device initialization. These include APIs in the libie_pci module: * Allocating/freeing the DMA memory and mapping the MMIO regions for BAR0, read/write APIs for drivers to access the MMIO memory and libie_cp module: * Control queue initialization and configuration * Transport initialization for bookkeeping * Blocking and asynchronous mailbox transactions Once the mailbox is initialized, the drivers can send and receive virtchnl messages to/from the control plane. The modules above are not supposed to be linked with the main libie library, but do share the folder with it. 2. idpf: Patches 6-11 refactor the idpf driver to use the libie APIs for control queue configuration, virtchnl transaction, device initialization and reset and adjust related code accordingly. 3. ixd: Patches 12-15 add the ixd driver and implement multiple pieces of the initialization flow as follows: * Add the ability to load * A reset is issued to ensure a clean device state, followed by initialization of the mailbox * Device capabilities: As part of initialization, the driver has to determine what the device is capable of (ex. max queues, vports, etc). This information is obtained from the firmware and stored by the driver. * Enable initial support for the devlink interface * '200GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue: ixd: add devlink support ixd: add the core initialization ixd: add reset checks and initialize the mailbox ixd: add basic driver framework for Intel(R) Control Plane Function idpf: print a debug message and bail in case of non-event ctlq message idpf: make mbx_task queueing and cancelling more consistent idpf: refactor idpf to use libie control queues idpf: refactor idpf to use libie_pci APIs idpf: remove unused code for getting RSS info from device idpf: remove 'vport_params_reqd' field libie: add bookkeeping support for control queue messages libie: add control queue support libeth: allow to create fill queues without NAPI libie: add PCI device initialization helpers to libie virtchnl: move virtchnl and virtchnl2 headers to 'include/linux/net/intel' ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260812212532.905873-1-anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

A new .sync_inode_metadata superblock operation is called from __writeback_single_inode(). Alongside it a new I_METADATA_WRITEBACK state flag is added. Filesystems no longer need their own mmb_fsync() implementations and can just use simple_fsync(). All metadata is now written for IS_SYNC and IS_DIRSYNC inodes. Races where several fsyncs raced and mmb_sync() could return before all buffers were really persisted are fixed since I_SYNC now serializes properly. The I_METADATA_WRITEBACK scheme also fixes the case where a WB_SYNC_NONE writeback landing between write(2) and fsync(2) left fsync(2) failing to persist the inode.

The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker relies on information the caller should not have. - make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be used to peek under it. Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that. But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected. Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents that bug. - vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it. This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory was created whereas every other creation operation passed it explicitly already. - move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull kthread vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This stops kernel threads from sharing filesystem state with userspace. This work is about 3 cycles old and has been in -next for about that time. When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from under the kernel. PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no longer affect userspace fs state without explicit opting in to that. Path lookup from a kthread now fails by default. It makes it deliberately hard to offload security sensitive operations into init's filesystem state from a kthread. Places that legitimately need to look something up there opt in through the new scoped_with_init_fs() which temporarily overrides the caller's fs_struct with init's. usermodehelpers remain the only kernel tasks that genuinely share init's filesystem state, since they execute random binaries in the root filesystem (excellent...).

netdev_set_tc_queue() (and related helpers/drivers such as netdev_bind_sb_channel_queue(), netdev_reset_tc(), and netdev_unbind_sb_channel()) perform separate 16-bit writes to dev->tc_to_txq[tc].count and dev->tc_to_txq[tc].offset.

Concurrent lockless readers (e.g. skb_tx_hash(), netdev_txq_to_tc(), ixgbe_select_queue(), taprio, mqprio, FPE drivers) can observe torn values where offset and count belong to inconsistent configurations. Redefine struct netdev_tc_txq to embed count and offset inside a union with a u32 combined field, allowing atomic manipulation via READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). Update all lockless readers and writers across the kernel to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() on the combined field.

Every iomap operation drove its iteration through a struct iomap_ops holding ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end(). iomap_iter() only ever sees those as pointers. That means every step of every iteration is an indirect call. This collapses both into one ->iomap_next() callback that finishes the previous mapping and produces the next one. This lets callers inline the iteration loop and pass its ->iomap_next() as a compile time constant. That means the compiler can turn it into a direct and hence inlineable call. This also allows future callers to express custom logic to drive the iteration forward better. xfs, btrfs, ext4, ext2, erofs, f2fs, gfs2, hpfs, fuse, exfat, zonefs, ntfs, ntfs3 and the block device mapping are all converted. No functional changes are intended. This also adds a simple direct I/O path for small reads. On Gen5 NVMe the __iomap_dio_rw() dominates 4K random reads. The same single-core io_uring poll mode workload reaches ~3.2M IOPS against the raw block device but only ~1.92M through ext4 or XFS. __iomap_dio_rw(), iomap_iter(), iomap_dio_bio_iter() and kfree() were at the top of the profile. The new path is very lightweight if no special behavior is requested. The bio comes from a dedicated bioset and laid out so the whole request is a single cacheline aligned allocation. Completion runs inline. That takes ext4 from 1.92M to 2.19M IOPS in the original workload. fio shows around: - 4% at libaio queue depths of 64 and up - around 5% for io_uring - up to 10% for io_uring poll mode at depth 256 on both ext4 and xfs.

2026-08-17NFS/localio: issue IO inline when not in a memory-reclaim contextMike Snitzer
Every LOCALIO read and write is currently bounced through the dedicated !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nfslocaliod_workqueue. That bounce is only actually required when the submitting context is a memory-reclaim context: LOCALIO issues IO directly into a stacked local filesystem (e.g. XFS) which may in turn flush its own !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue. Doing that from a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker (most importantly writeback's wb_workfn on bdi_wq) or an explicit PF_MEMALLOC reclaim task trips check_flush_dependency() and risks a forward-progress deadlock, which is why commit b9f5dd57f4a5 ("nfs/localio: use dedicated workqueues for filesystem read and write") introduced the intermediate workqueue. Outside of reclaim context -- ordinary application/task submission such as O_DIRECT or fsync-driven writeback -- the workqueue hop buys nothing and merely adds a context switch and scheduling latency per IO while discarding the NFS client's inherent application-context parallelism. Add current_is_workqueue_mem_reclaim(), which reports whether %current is a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker using the same predicate check_flush_dependency() warns on. Use it, together with the PF_MEMALLOC check, in the new nfs_local_defer_io() helper to decide per-IO whether nfs_local_do_read() and nfs_local_do_write() must defer to nfslocaliod_workqueue or may issue the IO inline. Buffered writeback continues to bounce (wb_workfn is a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker); O_DIRECT and app-context submission now run inline. Running nfs_local_call_write() inline is safe: it already saves and restores current->flags around the PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE|PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO it sets and scopes the file opener's creds. The async O_DIRECT completion path is likewise unaffected: when the underlying filesystem returns -EIOCBQUEUED, the kiocb ki_complete callback (nfs_local_read_aio_complete / nfs_local_write_aio_complete) can run in bottom-half context and so must still defer the pgio completion (nfs_local_pgio_release -> rpc_call_done) to nfsiod_workqueue via nfs_local_pgio_aio_complete(). That completion hop is independent of how the IO was submitted, and this change leaves it as-is; only the submission side stops unconditionally hopping through nfslocaliod_workqueue.

2026-08-17nfs4.2: open UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA files with O_DIRECTMike Snitzer
Honor the per-file UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute by transparently opening such regular files with O_DIRECT, so reads and writes bypass the page cache as the attribute requires, without the application having to request O_DIRECT itself. This follows the model the specification describes: the attribute is "similar in intent to O_DIRECT" and clients "retain flexibility in how they satisfy the requirements" (draft-ietf-nfsv4-uncacheable-files Section 4.4, "Relationship to Direct I/O"), and its Implementation Status (Section 6) describes a prototype Linux client that "treats the attribute as an indication to use O_DIRECT-like behavior for file access". Introduce an NFS_CONTEXT_O_DIRECT open-context flag: nfs4_atomic_open() sets it when the resolved inode has uncacheable_file_data set (and the open is not O_APPEND), and the open paths nfs_atomic_open() and nfs4_file_open() apply O_DIRECT to the file when the flag is set. The I/O mode is thus selected at open time and is not changed for an already-open file: a later change to the attribute takes effect on the next open. The specification permits this -- a client that has already opened a file MAY continue with its existing caching behavior and apply the updated attribute to subsequent operations (Section 5). The delegation interaction in Section 4.3 was considered: it permits read caching to remain when another NFSv4.2 mechanism, such as a delegation, already ensures a consistent view of the file. That relaxation is optional ("may remain appropriate") and read-only -- it does not relax write-behind suppression (Section 4.1) or the WRITE durability invariant (Section 4.2). This implementation deliberately does not take it: an uncacheable file is opened O_DIRECT regardless of any delegation held, which is compliant (read caching is simply suppressed more aggressively than the Section 4.3 minimum) and avoids decoupling read vs write caching behind a single open flag. Relaxing reads under a delegation is left as a possible future optimization. Section 6 observes the benefit holds "for applications that issue well-formed I/O requests". That alignment caveat does not constrain the Linux NFS client's over-the-wire path: the client readily issues misaligned I/O using O_DIRECT over SunRPC to the remote NFS server. The only place a fallback from O_DIRECT to buffered I/O for misaligned I/O applies is NFS LOCALIO (fs/nfs/localio.c), which detects non-DIO-aligned I/O and falls back internally; that path is unaffected by this change.
