2026-05-14cgroup/rdma: add rdma.peak for per-device peak usage trackingTao Cui
rdma.peak tracks the high watermark of resource usage per device, giving a better baseline on which to set rdma.max. Polling rdma.current isn't feasible since it would miss short-lived spikes. This interface is analogous to memory.peak. Signed-off-by: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2026-05-14bug/kunit: Core support for suppressing warning backtracesAlessandro Carminati
Some unit tests intentionally trigger warning backtraces by passing bad parameters to kernel API functions. Such unit tests typically check the return value from such calls, not the existence of the warning backtrace. Such intentionally generated warning backtraces are neither desirable nor useful for a number of reasons: - They can result in overlooked real problems. - A warning that suddenly starts to show up in unit tests needs to be investigated and has to be marked to be ignored, for example by adjusting filter scripts. Such filters are ad hoc because there is no real standard format for warnings. On top of that, such filter scripts would require constant maintenance. Solve the problem by providing a means to suppress warning backtraces originating from the current kthread while executing test code. Since each KUnit test runs in its own kthread, this effectively scopes suppression to the test that enabled it. Limit changes to generic code to the absolute minimum. Implementation details: Suppression is integrated into the existing KUnit hooks infrastructure in test-bug.h, reusing the kunit_running static branch for zero overhead when no tests are running. Suppression is checked at three points in the warning path: - In warn_slowpath_fmt(), the check runs before any output, fully suppressing both message and backtrace. This covers architectures without __WARN_FLAGS. - In __warn_printk(), the check suppresses the warning message text. This covers architectures that define __WARN_FLAGS but not their own __WARN_printf (arm64, loongarch, parisc, powerpc, riscv, sh), where the message is printed before the trap enters __report_bug(). - In __report_bug(), the check runs before __warn() is called, suppressing the backtrace and stack dump. To avoid double-counting on architectures where both __warn_printk() and __report_bug() run for the same warning, kunit_is_suppressed_warning() takes a bool parameter: true to increment the suppression counter (used in warn_slowpath_fmt and __report_bug), false to check only (used in __warn_printk). The suppression state is dynamically allocated via kunit_kzalloc() and tied to the KUnit test lifecycle via kunit_add_action(), ensuring automatic cleanup at test exit. Writer-side access to the global suppression list is serialized with a spinlock; readers use RCU. Two API forms are provided: - kunit_warning_suppress(test) { ... }: scoped, uses __cleanup for automatic teardown on scope exit, kunit_add_action() as safety net for abnormal exits (e.g. kthread_exit from failed assertions). Suppression handle is only accessible inside the block. - kunit_start/end_suppress_warning(test): direct functions returning an explicit handle, for retaining the handle within the test, or for cross-function usage.

2026-05-14ptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logicLinus Torvalds
The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of the task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and makes no sense when you don't have an associated mm. And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task has a mm pointer. But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to check various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS). Including for threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel threads). It's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is. The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the traditional "drop capabilities" model doesn't make any difference for this all. Make it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a MM pointer, we'll use a cached "last dumpability" flag if the thread ever had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.

2026-05-14bpf: Use array_map_meta_equal for percpu array inner map replacementGuannan Wang
percpu_array_map_ops.map_meta_equal points to the generic bpf_map_meta_equal(), which does not compare max_entries. When a percpu array serves as an inner map, replacing it with one that has fewer max_entries bypasses the check. Since percpu_array_map_gen_lookup() inlines the original template's index_mask as a JIT immediate, a lookup on the replacement map can access pptrs[] out of bounds. Point percpu_array_map_ops.map_meta_equal to array_map_meta_equal(), which already enforces the max_entries equality check. Add a selftest to verify that replacing a percpu array inner map with a differently-sized one is rejected.

2026-05-14slab: support for compiler-assisted type-based slab cache partitioningMarco Elver
Rework the general infrastructure around RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES into more flexible KMALLOC_PARTITION_CACHES, with the former being a partitioning mode of the latter. Introduce a new mode, KMALLOC_PARTITION_TYPED, which leverages a feature available in Clang 22 and later, called "allocation tokens" via __builtin_infer_alloc_token() [1]. Unlike KMALLOC_PARTITION_RANDOM (formerly RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES), this mode deterministically assigns a slab cache to an allocation of type T, regardless of allocation site. The builtin __builtin_infer_alloc_token(<malloc-args>, ...) instructs the compiler to infer an allocation type from arguments commonly passed to memory-allocating functions and returns a type-derived token ID. The implementation passes kmalloc-args to the builtin: the compiler performs best-effort type inference, and then recognizes common patterns such as `kmalloc(sizeof(T), ...)`, `kmalloc(sizeof(T) * n, ...)`, but also `(T *)kmalloc(...)`. Where the compiler fails to infer a type the fallback token (default: 0) is chosen. Note: kmalloc_obj(..) APIs fix the pattern how size and result type are expressed, and therefore ensures there's not much drift in which patterns the compiler needs to recognize. Specifically, kmalloc_obj() and friends expand to `(TYPE *)KMALLOC(__obj_size, GFP)`, which the compiler recognizes via the cast to TYPE*. Clang's default token ID calculation is described as [1]: typehashpointersplit: This mode assigns a token ID based on the hash of the allocated type's name, where the top half ID-space is reserved for types that contain pointers and the bottom half for types that do not contain pointers. Separating pointer-containing objects from pointerless objects and data allocations can help mitigate certain classes of memory corruption exploits [2]: attackers who gains a buffer overflow on a primitive buffer cannot use it to directly corrupt pointers or other critical metadata in an object residing in a different, isolated heap region. It is important to note that heap isolation strategies offer a best-effort approach, and do not provide a 100% security guarantee, albeit achievable at relatively low performance cost. Note that this also does not prevent cross-cache attacks: while waiting for future features like SLAB_VIRTUAL [3] to provide physical page isolation, this feature should be deployed alongside SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR and init_on_free=1 to mitigate cross-cache attacks and page-reuse attacks as much as possible today. With all that, my kernel (x86 defconfig) shows me a histogram of slab cache object distribution per /proc/slabinfo (after boot): <slab cache> <objs> <hist> kmalloc-part-15 1465 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-14 2988 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-13 1656 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-12 1045 ++++++++++ kmalloc-part-11 1697 ++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-10 1489 ++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-09 965 +++++++++ kmalloc-part-08 710 +++++++ kmalloc-part-07 100 + kmalloc-part-06 217 ++ kmalloc-part-05 105 + kmalloc-part-04 4047 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ kmalloc-part-03 183 + kmalloc-part-02 283 ++ kmalloc-part-01 316 +++ kmalloc 1422 ++++++++++++++ The above /proc/slabinfo snapshot shows me there are 6673 allocated objects (slabs 00 - 07) that the compiler claims contain no pointers or it was unable to infer the type of, and 12015 objects that contain pointers (slabs 08 - 15). On a whole, this looks relatively sane. Additionally, when I compile my kernel with -Rpass=alloc-token, which provides diagnostics where (after dead-code elimination) type inference failed, I see 186 allocation sites where the compiler failed to identify a type (down from 966 when I sent the RFC [4]). Some initial review confirms these are mostly variable sized buffers, but also include structs with trailing flexible length arrays.

2026-05-13bpf: Report maximum combined stack depthPaul Chaignon
We've hit the 512 bytes limit on stack depth a few times in Cilium recently. As a result, we started reporting in CI our current maximum stack depth across all configurations for each BPF program. Unfortunately, that is not trivial to compute in userspace. The verifier reports the stack depths of individual subprogs at the end of the logs. However the maximum combined stack depth also depends on the callgraph of those subprogs (the max combined stack depth is the height of the callgraph weighted by per-subprog stack depths). We can compute a callgraph in userspace from the loaded instructions, but it often doesn't match the verifier's own callgraph because of dead code elimination. Our current approach relies on dumping the BPF_LOG_LEVEL2 logs, but this feels overkill considering the verifier already has the information we need. The patch lets the verifier dump the maximum combined stack depth in the logs, on the same line as the per-subprog stack depths: stack depth 16+256 max 272 The per-subprog stack depths and the new max stack depth are not directly comparable. The former is sometimes updated during fixups, while the latter is not. As a result, even with a single subprog, we may end up with two slightly different values. The aim of the new max value is to be closest to what is actually enforced by the verifier.

2026-05-13sched_ext: Use HK_TYPE_DOMAIN_BOOT to detect isolcpus= domain isolationAndrea Righi
scx_enable() refuses to attach a BPF scheduler when isolcpus=domain is in effect by comparing housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_DOMAIN) against cpu_possible_mask. Since commit 27c3a5967f05 ("sched/isolation: Convert housekeeping cpumasks to rcu pointers"), HK_TYPE_DOMAIN's cpumask is RCU protected and dereferencing it requires either RCU read lock, the cpu_hotplug write lock, or the cpuset lock; scx_enable() holds none of these, so booting with isolcpus=domain and attaching any BPF scheduler triggers the following lockdep splat: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage ----------------------------- kernel/sched/isolation.c:60 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! 1 lock held by scx_flash/281: #0: ffffffff8379fce0 (update_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: bpf_struct_ops_link_create+0x134/0x1c0 Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0 lockdep_rcu_suspicious.cold+0x37/0x70 housekeeping_cpumask+0xcd/0xe0 scx_enable.isra.0+0x17/0x120 bpf_scx_reg+0x5e/0x80 bpf_struct_ops_link_create+0x151/0x1c0 __sys_bpf+0x1e4b/0x33c0 __x64_sys_bpf+0x21/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x117/0xf80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f In addition, commit 03ff73510169 ("cpuset: Update HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask from cpuset") made HK_TYPE_DOMAIN include cpuset isolated partitions as well, which means the current check also rejects BPF schedulers when a cpuset partition is active. That contradicts the original intent of commit 9f391f94a173 ("sched_ext: Disallow loading BPF scheduler if isolcpus= domain isolation is in effect"), which explicitly noted that cpuset partitions are honored through per-task cpumasks and should not be rejected. Switch to housekeeping_enabled(HK_TYPE_DOMAIN_BOOT), which reads only the housekeeping flag bit (no RCU dereference) and reflects exactly the boot-time isolcpus= configuration that the error message refers to.

2026-05-13cgroup/cpuset: Return only actually allocated CPUs during partition invalidationsunshaojie
In update_parent_effective_cpumask() with partcmd_invalidate, the CPUs to return to the parent are computed as: adding = cpumask_and(tmp->addmask, xcpus, parent->effective_xcpus); where xcpus = user_xcpus(cs) which returns cs->exclusive_cpus (if set) or cs->cpus_allowed. When exclusive_cpus is not set, user_xcpus(cs) can contain CPUs that were never actually granted to the partition due to sibling exclusion in compute_excpus(). Consequently, the invalidation may return CPUs to the parent that remain in use by sibling partitions, causing overlapping effective_cpus and triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE(1) in generate_sched_domains(). Use cs->effective_xcpus instead, which reflects the CPUs actually granted to this partition.

2026-05-13bpf,x86: Implement JIT support for stack argumentsYonghong Song
Add x86_64 JIT support for BPF functions and kfuncs with more than 5 arguments. The extra arguments are passed through a stack area addressed by register r11 (BPF_REG_PARAMS) in BPF bytecode, which the JIT translates to native code. The JIT follows the x86-64 calling convention for both BPF-to-BPF and kfunc calls: - Arg 6 is passed in the R9 register - Args 7+ are passed on the stack Incoming arg 6 (BPF r11+8) is translated to a MOV from R9 rather than a memory load. Incoming args 7+ (BPF r11+16, r11+24, ...) map directly to [rbp + 16], [rbp + 24], ..., matching the x86-64 stack layout after CALL + PUSH RBP, so no offset adjustment is needed. tail_call_reachable is rejected by the verifier and priv_stack is disabled by the JIT when stack args exist, so R9 is always available. When BPF bytecode writes to the arg-6 stack slot (offset -8), the JIT emits a MOV into R9 instead of a memory store. Outgoing args 7+ are placed at [rsp] in a pre-allocated area below callee-saved registers, using: native_off = outgoing_arg_base - outgoing_rsp - bpf_off - 16 The native x86_64 stack layout with stack arguments: high address +-------------------------+ | incoming stack arg N | [rbp + 16 + (N-7)*8] (from caller) | ... | | incoming stack arg 7 | [rbp + 16] +-------------------------+ | return address | [rbp + 8] | saved rbp | [rbp] +-------------------------+ | BPF program stack | (round_up(stack_depth, 8) bytes) +-------------------------+ | callee-saved regs | (r12, rbx, r13, r14, r15 as needed) +-------------------------+ | outgoing arg M | [rsp + (M-7)*8] | ... | | outgoing arg 7 | [rsp] +-------------------------+ rsp low address Acked-by: Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yonghong.song@linux.dev> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260513045122.2393118-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

2026-05-13bpf: Support stack arguments for kfunc callsYonghong Song
Extend the stack argument mechanism to kfunc calls, allowing kfuncs with more than 5 parameters to receive additional arguments via the r11-based stack arg area. For kfuncs, the caller is a BPF program and the callee is a kernel function. The BPF program writes outgoing args at negative r11 offsets, following the same convention as BPF-to-BPF calls: Outgoing: r11 - 8 (arg6), ..., r11 - N*8 (last arg) The following is an example: int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) { ... kfunc1(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8); ... kfunc2(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9); ... } Caller (foo), generated by llvm =============================== Incoming (positive offsets): r11+8: [incoming arg 6] r11+16: [incoming arg 7] Outgoing for kfunc1 (negative offsets): r11-8: [outgoing arg 6] r11-16: [outgoing arg 7] r11-24: [outgoing arg 8] Outgoing for kfunc2 (negative offsets): r11-8: [outgoing arg 6] r11-16: [outgoing arg 7] r11-24: [outgoing arg 8] r11-32: [outgoing arg 9] Later JIT will marshal outgoing arguments to the native calling convention for kfunc1() and kfunc2(). For kfunc calls where stack args are used as constant or size parameters, a mark_stack_arg_precision() helper is used to propagate precision and do proper backtracking. There are two places where meta->release_regno needs to keep regno for later releasing the reference. Also, 'cur_aux(env)->arg_prog = regno' is also keeping regno for later fixup. Since stack arguments don't have a valid register number (regno is negative), these three cases are rejected for now if the argument is on the stack.

2026-05-13bpf: Extend liveness analysis to track stack argument slotsYonghong Song
BPF_REG_PARAMS (R11) is at index MAX_BPF_REG, which is beyond the register tracking arrays in const_fold.c and liveness.c. Handle it explicitly to avoid out-of-bounds accesses. Extend the arg tracking dataflow to cover stack arg slots. Otherwise, pointers passed through stack args are invisible to liveness, causing the pointed-to stack slots to be incorrectly poisoned. Extend the at_out tracking array to MAX_AT_TRACK_REGS (registers plus stack arg slots) so that outgoing stack arg stores are tracked alongside registers. Add a separate at_stack_arg_entry array in compute_subprog_args(), passed to arg_track_xfer(), to restore FP-derived values on incoming stack arg reads. Extend record_call_access() to check stack arg slots for FP-derived pointers at kfunc call sites, reusing the record_arg_access() helper extracted in the previous patch. Pass stack arg state from caller to callee in analyze_subprog() so that callees can track pointers received through stack args, hence avoid poisoning. Skip stack arg instructions in record_load_store_access(). Stack arg STX uses dst_reg=BPF_REG_PARAMS (index 11), but at[11] is repurposed to track the value stored in stack arg slot 0. Without the skip, if a prior stack arg STX stored an FP-derived pointer (e.g., fp-64) into slot 0, a subsequent stack arg STX would read that FP-derived value as the base pointer and spuriously mark a regular stack slot (e.g., fp-72 from -64 + -8) as accessed in the liveness bitmap. Extend arg_track_log() to log state transitions for outgoing stack arg slots at indices MAX_BPF_REG through MAX_AT_TRACK_REGS-1. Without this, changes to at_out[11..17] caused by stack arg store instructions are silently omitted from BPF_LOG_LEVEL2 output. For example, when a caller passes fp-64 through a stack argument: subprog#0: 10: (bf) r6 = r10 11: (07) r6 += -64 12: (7b) *(u64 *)(r11 -8) = r6 sa0: none -> fp0-64 13: (85) call pc+5 Without the fix, the "sa0: none -> fp0-64" transition at insn 12 would not appear. Extend print_subprog_arg_access() to include stack arg slots in the per-instruction FP-derived state dump. For example: subprog#0: 12: (7b) *(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r6 // r6=fp0-64 13: (85) call pc+5 // r6=fp0-64 sa0=fp0-64 Without the fix, the "sa0=fp0-64" annotation at insn 13 would not appear, making it harder to debug liveness analysis for programs that pass FP-derived pointers through stack arguments. Extend has_fp_args() to also check stack arg slots for FP-derived pointers, so that callees receiving pointers only through stack args are still recursively analyzed.

2026-05-13bpf: Refactor jmp history to use dedicated spi/frame fieldsYonghong Song
Move stack slot index (spi) and frame number out of the flags field in bpf_jmp_history_entry into dedicated bitfields. This simplifies the encoding and makes room for new flags. Previously, spi and frame were packed into the lower 9 bits of the 12-bit flags field (3 bits frame + 6 bits spi), with INSN_F_STACK_ACCESS at BIT(9) and INSN_F_DST/SRC_REG_STACK at BIT(10)/BIT(11). But this has no room for an INSN_F_* flag for stack arguments. To resolve this issue, bpf_jmp_history_entry field idx is narrowed to 20 bits (sufficient for insn indices up to 1M), and the freed bits hold spi (6 bits) and frame (3 bits) as dedicated struct fields. The flags enum is simplified accordingly: INSN_F_STACK_ACCESS -> BIT(0) INSN_F_DST_REG_STACK -> BIT(1) INSN_F_SRC_REG_STACK -> BIT(2) which allows more room for additional INSN_F_* flags. bpf_push_jmp_history() now takes explicit spi and frame parameters instead of encoding them into flags. The insn_stack_access_flags(), insn_stack_access_spi(), and insn_stack_access_frameno() helpers are removed. No functional change.

2026-05-13bpf: Support stack arguments for bpf functionsYonghong Song
Currently BPF functions (subprogs) are limited to 5 register arguments. With [1], the compiler can emit code that passes additional arguments via a dedicated stack area through bpf register BPF_REG_PARAMS (r11), introduced in an earlier patch ([2]). The compiler uses positive r11 offsets for incoming (callee-side) args and negative r11 offsets for outgoing (caller-side) args, following the x86_64/arm64 calling convention direction. There is an 8-byte gap at offset 0 separating two regions: Incoming (callee reads): r11+8 (arg6), r11+16 (arg7), ... Outgoing (caller writes): r11-8 (arg6), r11-16 (arg7), ... The following is an example to show how stack arguments are saved and transferred between caller and callee: int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) { ... bar(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8); ... } Caller (foo) Callee (bar) ============ ============ Incoming (positive offsets): Incoming (positive offsets): r11+8: [incoming arg 6] r11+8: [incoming arg 6] <-+ r11+16: [incoming arg 7] r11+16: [incoming arg 7] <-|+ r11+24: [incoming arg 8] <-||+ Outgoing (negative offsets): ||| r11-8: [outgoing arg 6 to bar] -------->-------------------------+|| r11-16: [outgoing arg 7 to bar] -------->--------------------------+| r11-24: [outgoing arg 8 to bar] -------->---------------------------+ If the bpf function has more than one call: int foo(int a1, int a2, int a3, int a4, int a5, int a6, int a7) { ... bar1(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8); ... bar2(a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9); ... } Caller (foo) Callee (bar2) ============ ============== Incoming (positive offsets): Incoming (positive offsets): r11+8: [incoming arg 6] r11+8: [incoming arg 6] <+ r11+16: [incoming arg 7] r11+16: [incoming arg 7] <|+ r11+24: [incoming arg 8] <||+ Outgoing for bar2 (negative offsets): r11+32: [incoming arg 9] <|||+ r11-8: [outgoing arg 6] ---->----------->-------------------------+||| r11-16: [outgoing arg 7] ---->----------->--------------------------+|| r11-24: [outgoing arg 8] ---->----------->---------------------------+| r11-32: [outgoing arg 9] ---->----------->----------------------------+ The verifier tracks outgoing stack arguments in stack_arg_regs[] and out_stack_arg_cnt in bpf_func_state, separately from the regular r10 stack. The callee does not copy incoming args — it reads them directly from the caller's outgoing slots at positive r11 offsets. Similar to stacksafe(), introduce stack_arg_safe() to do pruning check. Outgoing stack arg slots are invalidated when the callee returns (e.g. in prepare_func_exit), not at call time. This allows the callee to read incoming args from the caller's outgoing slots during verification. The following are a few examples. Example 1: *(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r6; *(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r7; call bar1; // arg6 = r6, arg7 = r7 call bar2; // expected with 2 stack arguments, failed Example 2: To fix the Example 1: *(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r6; *(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r7; call bar1; // arg6 = r6, arg7 = r7 *(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r8; *(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r9; call bar2; // arg6 = r8, arg7 = r9 Example 3: The compiler can hoist the shared stack arg stores above the branch: *(u64 *)(r11 - 16) = r7; if cond goto else; *(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r8; call bar1; // arg6 = r8, arg7 = r7 goto end; else: *(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r9; call bar2; // arg6 = r9, arg7 = r7 end: Example 4: Within a loop: loop: *(u64 *)(r11 - 8) = r6; // arg6, before loop call bar; // reuses arg6 each iteration if ... goto loop; A separate max_out_stack_arg_cnt field in bpf_subprog_info tracks the deepest outgoing slot actually written. This intends to reject programs that write to slots beyond what any callee expects. It is necessary for JIT. Similar to typical compiler generated code, enforce the following orderings: - all stack arg reads must be ahead of any stack arg write - all stack arg reads must be before any bpf func, kfunc and helpers This is needed as JIT may emit 'mov' insns for read/write with the same register and bpf function, kfunc and helper will invalidate all arguments immediately after the call. Callback functions with stack arguments need kernel setup parameter types (including stack parameters) properly and then callback function can retrieve such information for verification purpose. Global subprogs and freplace with >5 args are not yet supported.

2026-05-13bpf: Set sub->arg_cnt earlier in btf_prepare_func_args()Yonghong Song

Since -EINVAL from btf_prepare_func_args() does not immediately reject verification, arg_cnt remains zero after the early return.

Concurrent disable can kset_unregister and free sub_kset before scx_alloc_and_add_sched() dereferences it.

2026-05-11fs: move SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE to FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTEDChristian Brauner
Whether a filesystem's mounts need to undergo a visibility check in user namespaces is a static property of the filesystem type, not a runtime property of each superblock instance. Both proc and sysfs always set SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE on their superblocks unconditionally (sysfs does so on first creation, and subsequent mounts reuse the same superblock). Move this flag from sb->s_iflags (SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE) to file_system_type->fs_flags (FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED) so the intent is expressed at the filesystem type level where it belongs. All check sites are updated to test sb->s_type->fs_flags instead of sb->s_iflags. The SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV flags remain on the superblock as they are runtime properties set during fill_super.

2026-05-11cgroup/cpuset: Reserve DL bandwidth only for root-domain movesGuopeng Zhang
cpuset_can_attach() currently adds the bandwidth of all migrating SCHED_DEADLINE tasks to sum_migrate_dl_bw. If the source and destination cpuset effective CPU masks do not overlap, the whole sum is then reserved in the destination root domain. set_cpus_allowed_dl(), however, subtracts bandwidth from the source root domain only when the affinity change really moves the task between root domains. A DL task can move between cpusets that are still in the same root domain, so including that task in sum_migrate_dl_bw can reserve destination bandwidth without a matching source-side subtraction. Share the root-domain move test with set_cpus_allowed_dl(). Keep nr_migrate_dl_tasks counting all migrating deadline tasks for cpuset DL task accounting, but add to sum_migrate_dl_bw only for tasks that need a root-domain bandwidth move. Keep using the destination cpuset effective CPU mask and leave the broader can_attach()/attach() transaction model unchanged.

2026-05-11sched_ext: Replace tryget_task_struct() with get_task_struct()Andrea Righi
The tryget_task_struct() calls in scx_sub_disable(), scx_root_enable_workfn() and scx_sub_enable_workfn() can never fail at the points they're invoked: - scx_root_enable_workfn() iterates over scx_tasks under scx_tasks_lock and rq lock. sched_ext_dead() removes tasks from scx_tasks under the same scx_tasks_lock before put_task_struct_rcu_user() runs in finish_task_switch(). So any task observed in scx_tasks must have usage > 0; put_task_struct_rcu_user() hasn't been called and the delayed_put_task_struct() callback that decrements usage cannot have been queued. - scx_sub_disable() and scx_sub_enable_workfn() iterate via css_task_iter, which takes a reference on each task in css_task_iter_next() and holds it until the next iter_next() call, so usage > 0 is guaranteed by the iter itself. The actual filter for dead tasks is the SCX_TASK_DEAD check inside scx_task_iter_next_locked(), not tryget; tryget only fails on zero usage, a state that can't be reached for tasks visible to these iters. Commit b7d4b28db7da ("sched_ext: Use SCX_TASK_READY test instead of tryget_task_struct() during class switch") removed an analogous tryget in the class-switch loop. Convert the remaining tryget calls to plain get_task_struct() and update the comment in scx_root_enable_workfn() that suggested tasks could be observed with zero @usage waiting for an RCU grace period.

2026-05-11workqueue: drop apply_wqattrs_lock()/unlock() wrappersBreno Leitao
The apply_wqattrs_lock()/unlock() helpers were introduced by commit a0111cf6710b ("workqueue: separate out and refactor the locking of applying attrs") to encapsulate the get_online_cpus() (later cpus_read_lock()) + mutex_lock(&wq_pool_mutex) acquire pair that was duplicated across the apply-attrs paths. Since commit 19af45757383 ("workqueue: Remove cpus_read_lock() from apply_wqattrs_lock()") removed the cpus_read_lock() (pwq creation and installation now operate on wq_online_cpumask, so CPU hotplug no longer needs to be excluded), the wrappers have been one-line forwarders to mutex_lock(&wq_pool_mutex)/mutex_unlock(&wq_pool_mutex). They no longer encode any non-trivial locking rule and obscure the fact that callers just take the existing wq_pool_mutex. This align with the "unnecessary" helpers that got discussed in [1] Inline the eight call sites and remove the wrappers. No functional change.

2026-05-11exit: prevent preemption of oopsing TASK_DEAD taskJann Horn
When an already-exiting task oopses, make_task_dead() currently calls do_task_dead() with preemption enabled. That is forbidden: do_task_dead() calls __schedule(), which has a comment saying "WARNING: must be called with preemption disabled!". If an oopsing task is preempted in do_task_dead(), between becoming TASK_DEAD and entering the scheduler explicitly, bad things happen: finish_task_switch() assumes that once the scheduler has switched away from a TASK_DEAD task, the task can never run again and its stack is no longer needed; but that assumption apparently doesn't hold if the dead task was preempted (the SM_PREEMPT case). This means that the scheduler ends up repeatedly dropping references on the dead task's stack, which can lead to use-after-free or double-free of the entire task stack; in other words, two tasks can end up running on the same stack, resulting in various kinds of memory corruption. (This does not just affect "recursively oopsing" tasks; it is enough to oops once during task exit, for example in a file_operations::release handler) Fixes: 7f80a2fd7db9 ("exit: Stop poorly open coding do_task_dead in make_task_dead") Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2026-05-11bpf: Fix s16 truncation for large bpf-to-bpf call offsetsYazhou Tang
Currently, the BPF instruction set allows bpf-to-bpf calls (or internal calls, pseudo calls) to use a 32-bit imm field to represent the relative jump offset. However, when JIT is disabled or falls back to the interpreter, the verifier invokes bpf_patch_call_args() to rewrite the call instruction. In this function, the 32-bit imm is downcast to s16 and stored in the off field. void bpf_patch_call_args(struct bpf_insn *insn, u32 stack_depth) { stack_depth = max_t(u32, stack_depth, 1); insn->off = (s16) insn->imm; insn->imm = interpreters_args[(round_up(stack_depth, 32) / 32) - 1] - __bpf_call_base_args; insn->code = BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL_ARGS; } If the original imm exceeds the s16 range (i.e., a jump offset greater than 32767 instructions), this downcast silently truncates the offset, resulting in an incorrect call target. Fix this by: 1. In bpf_patch_call_args(), keeping the imm field unchanged and using the off field to store the index of the interpreter function. 2. In ___bpf_prog_run() for the JMP_CALL_ARGS case, retrieving the interpreter function pointer from the interpreters_args array using the off field as the index, and passing the original imm to calculate the last argument of the interpreter function. After these changes, the truncation issue is resolved, and __bpf_call_base_args is also no longer needed and can be removed, which makes the code cleaner. Performance: In ___bpf_prog_run() for the JMP_CALL_ARGS case, changing the retrieval of the interpreter function pointer from pointer addition to direct array indexing improves performance. The possible reason is that the latter has better instruction-level parallelism. See the v5 discussion [1] for more details. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/f120c3c4-6999-414a-b514-518bb64b4758@zju.edu.cn/ To avoid requiring bpftool changes, keep the new imm/off encoding internal and restore the legacy xlated dump layout in bpf_insn_prepare_dump(). For bpf-to-bpf call offsets that do not fit in s16, export off as 0 instead of a truncated and misleading value.

2026-05-11bpf: Fix out-of-bounds read in bpf_patch_call_args()Yazhou Tang
The interpreters_args array only accommodates stack depths up to MAX_BPF_STACK (512 bytes). However, do_misc_fixups() may allow a larger stack depth if JIT is requested. If JIT compilation later fails and falls back to the interpreter, the verifier invokes bpf_patch_call_args() with this oversized stack depth. This causes a load-time out-of-bounds (OOB) read when calculating the interpreter function pointer index. Fix this by changing bpf_patch_call_args() to return an int and explicitly rejecting the JIT fallback (returning -EINVAL) if the stack depth exceeds MAX_BPF_STACK.
