2026-09-24bpf: Add callx instruction to call bpf subprogs indirectlyAlexei Starovoitov
Introduce BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL | BPF_X (opcode 0x8d) 'callx dst_reg' instruction: indirect call of bpf subprog with address in dst_reg. That's the encoding LLVM emits for calls via function pointer. src_reg, off, imm are reserved and must be zero. dst_reg must be PTR_TO_FUNC produced by ld_imm64 BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC. check_ld_imm() allows it for static subprogs only, so callx cannot call global subprogs or the main prog. Since every callee has its address taken by ld_imm64, add_subprogs() and check_cfg() see all of them before the main pass, and might_sleep, changes_pkt_data, might_throw of the callee are already merged into the subprog that takes the address. reg->subprogno is the callee. Verify callx as a direct call of that static subprog: split check_func_call() into check_static_func_call() that is shared with new check_func_callx(). Different paths through the same callx may call different subprogs. Arithmetic on PTR_TO_FUNC is allowed, so check that the pointer wasn't modified. Allow callx while holding a lock like direct calls of static subprogs. The interpreter doesn't support callx. Set jit_required and add bpf_jit_supports_callx() for JITs to opt in. No JIT does yet, so callx is still rejected. Print it as "callx rN" in the verifier log and xlated dump. Adjust "invalid call insn1" test_verifier test that used opcode 0x8d as unknown opcode. It fails with "R0 !read_ok" now.

2026-09-24bpf: Prepare static analysis passes for callx instructionAlexei Starovoitov
BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL | BPF_X (callx) will be an indirect call of static subprog with address in dst_reg. The passes that run before the main verifier pass don't know which subprog callx calls. Teach them to treat callx as a call with unknown callee: - const_fold: callx clobbers R0-R5 like any other call. Otherwise bpf_prune_dead_branches() could rewrite a live conditional jump. - live regs: callx uses R1-R5 and dst_reg, defines R0-R5. - stack liveness: func instances are keyed by (callsite, depth) and cannot describe a callsite with multiple callees. Don't create instances for callees of callx. If any callx argument is derived from fp mark stack of all frames as read at callx insn and keep slots of outer frames alive 'before' the callsite while the callee is verified. Same as for callbacks that are not known statically. The callee is analyzed as standalone instance. - backtracking: treat callx as a call of static subprog, same as BPF_PSEUDO_CALL. callx is still rejected as unknown opcode. No functional change.

2026-09-24bpf: Keep functions with address taken when removing dead codeAlexei Starovoitov
ld_imm64 BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC may take the address of a function that nothing calls: the helper call that takes it as a callback is dead code, or the prog only stores or compares the pointer. The function is not seen by the main pass and bpf_opt_remove_dead_code() removes it, while ld_imm64 stays and points to whatever follows. If the function was the last one jit_subprogs() hits: verifier bug: No program to jit at insn 8 (subprog < 0) Otherwise the register gets the address of the next function. Keep the first insn of such function and make it a trap like sanitize_dead_code() does, so the address stays valid and unique.

2026-09-24bpf: Fix infinite loop in check_max_stack_depth()Alexei Starovoitov
sort_subprogs_topo() rejects recursion via direct calls, but allows cycles that go through ld_imm64 BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC, since the address could be taken for an async callback. The main verifier pass limits the number of frames, but it doesn't follow calls into global functions. So the following program passes both: static int cb(u32 i, void *ctx) { return foo(i); } static int foo(int x) { return bar(x); } int bar(int x) { bpf_loop(1, cb, NULL, 0); return 0; } SEC("socket") int prog(void *ctx) { return cb(0, NULL); } cb -> foo -> bar -> bpf_loop -> cb is unbounded recursion. check_max_stack_depth_subprog() walks this cycle too. None of the functions use stack and the frame counter is reset by every global function, so neither stack size nor frame limit is hit and bpf_prog_load() spins forever. Reject a call into a subprog that is already in the chain of callers. Async callbacks are skipped earlier and are not affected.

2026-09-24bpf: Fix range_tree_set inconsistency on kmalloc_nolock failure in arenaYuan Chen
range_tree_set() pre-allocates the node needed for a brand-new range before calling range_tree_clear(), so an allocation failure returns -ENOMEM without having modified the tree (previously the overlapping nodes were already removed by range_tree_clear() before the allocation was attempted, permanently losing the cleared sub-ranges). The adjacency lookups done before the clear already return the nodes that the merge below needs: range_tree_clear() frees only the nodes that lie entirely inside [start, last], trims the overlapping ones in place, and the split case cannot happen because of the 'already set' check above.

2026-09-23sched_ext: Avoid relocking DSQ during remote DSQ movesUsama Arif
When scx_bpf_dsq_move*() moves a task from a non-local DSQ to a remote local DSQ, move_task_between_dsqs() drops src_dsq->lock while leaving p->scx.dsq set. The following deactivate_task() then reacquires src_dsq->lock in scx_dispatch_dequeue() to unlink the task and clear p->scx.dsq. Both the source rq and src_dsq are already locked before the source DSQ lock is dropped. Call dispatch_dequeue_locked() there so that deactivate_task() takes the !dsq path and avoids the redundant lock acquisition.

2026-09-23sched_ext: Avoid relocking DSQ during remote consumptionUsama Arif
A remote consume unlinks a task from a non-local DSQ before switching to the task's rq. Leaving p->scx.dsq set makes the following deactivate_task() reacquire the DSQ lock in scx_dispatch_dequeue() to clear the transfer state. Keep p->scx.dsq set while switching rq locks so that a racing dequeue can find the DSQ and cancel the transfer. After acquiring the source rq and confirming ownership, clear p->scx.dsq. The subsequent dequeue then takes its !dsq path without reacquiring the DSQ lock. Fleet profiles show that roughly 70% of the cycles attributed to scx_dispatch_dequeue() are spent in queued_spin_lock_slowpath() while taking dsq->lock.

2026-09-23sched_ext: Count SCX_EV_SUB_BYPASS_DISPATCH in the dispatch fallbackLiang Luo
When a descendant scheduler enters bypass mode, its tasks are parked in the bypass DSQs of the nearest non-bypassing ancestor, which is then responsible for running them. On behalf of such a non-bypassing host, scx_dispatch_sched() consumes those bypass DSQs from two places: the attempt made every SCX_BYPASS_HOST_NTH dispatches, and the end-of-dispatch fallback that keeps the CPU from going idle while bypassed descendants still have tasks queued. The former increments SCX_EV_SUB_BYPASS_DISPATCH but the latter does not, even though both perform the same scx_consume_dispatch_q() on the same bypass DSQ. The descendant bypass dispatches done by the fallback are therefore missing from the counter exposed via sysfs, scx_dump_state() and the scx_bpf_events() kfunc, which under-reports the actual number of such dispatches. Add the missing __scx_add_event() so the fallback counts them too. When @sch itself is bypassing, scx_dispatch_sched() takes the earlier self-bypass branch and returns before reaching these host paths; that mode is accounted for by SCX_EV_BYPASS_DISPATCH at enqueue time and is intentionally left unchanged.

2026-09-23perf/core: Run sched_task() for PMUs with only CPU-wide eventsPuranjay Mohan
perf_pmu_sched_task() returns early when cpuctx->task_ctx is set and leaves the work to perf_ctx_sched_task_cb(), which only walks ctx->pmu_ctx_list. A PMU whose events are all CPU-wide is not on that list, so nothing calls its sched_task(). With perf record -b -e cycles -a -- ls armv8pmu_sched_task() is skipped on every switch to a task that has a perf context but no event on that PMU, and BRBE records leak across the task boundary. intel_pmu_lbr_add() calls perf_sched_cb_inc() unconditionally too, so LBR records leak the same way on x86. Drop the early return and skip only the CPCs that perf_ctx_sched_task_cb() handles. That one needs a gate of its own to make the split exact: it tests cpc->sched_cb_usage, which perf_sched_cb_inc() sets per CPU for every branch stack user, so a task with an event for that PMU pinned to another CPU would be handled twice. On x86 the second __intel_pmu_lbr_restore() finds lbr_stack_state == LBR_NONE and calls intel_pmu_lbr_reset(), throwing away the callstack the first one restored. cpc->task_epc is set only while a task context is scheduled in, and there is one epc per PMU on ctx->pmu_ctx_list, so the two gates are inverses. For the CPCs perf_pmu_sched_task() picks up, the callback now runs outside the perf_ctx_disable() and perf_ctx_enable() pair in perf_event_context_sched_in(). __perf_pmu_sched_task() disables the PMU around the call itself.

2026-09-23bpf: Reject dev-bound-only programs on other devicesWeiming Shi
__bpf_offload_dev_match() falls back to comparing offdev pointers after an exact netdev mismatch. Bound-only programs normally have NULL offdevs, so unrelated netdevs compare equal. A bound-only program on an offload-registered netdev can instead inherit a real offdev and match a sibling port. With CAP_BPF and CAP_NET_ADMIN, a caller can use bpf(BPF_LINK_CREATE) with a different target ifindex to run metadata kfuncs specialized for the bound driver on the target driver's xdp_buff.

2026-09-23bpf: arena: Allocate the fault-in page outside the lockJiayuan Chen
arena_vm_fault() allocated the page while holding arena->spinlock, so it could only use the non-blocking allocator, which never reclaims. Once the memcg is at memory.max that allocation just fails, the fault turns into VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and the process gets a SIGSEGV on a perfectly valid arena address. Hitting memory.max is routine (e.g. page cache from reading a big file), so this kills innocent processes over memory that reclaim could have freed. Rework the fault handler: - Preallocate the page before taking the lock, like do_anonymous_page() does, so it can sleep and reclaim, instead of turning a routine memory.max into a fake segfault. The allocation uses __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL so it never invokes the OOM killer: the page is charged to the map's memcg, which need not be the faulting task's, so an OOM there could kill unrelated tasks in the map's cgroup while a foreign faulter could never be its victim. map->numa_node is always NUMA_NO_NODE for an arena (BPF_F_NUMA_NODE is rejected), so the page comes from the local node, as before. - On allocation failure fall through to the locked recheck rather than failing right away: a page a concurrent allocator installed meanwhile is used, otherwise the non-blocking fallback fails and we return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS. Not VM_FAULT_OOM: nothing ran the OOM killer, and the fault path would just retry it forever. - A lockless probe skips that preallocation when a page is already mapped (e.g. allocated by the bpf program), so the common case wastes no allocation. The rare race where such a page is freed before we take the lock falls back to the non-blocking allocator under the lock. - Return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS for the other non-recoverable errors (allocation, range-tree and page-table failures) instead of VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV; the lock failure already did. Only BPF_F_SEGV_ON_FAULT, and a scratch-page hole under that flag, is a real user addressing error and keeps VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV. - Tidy up the error labels.

Sleepable BPF programs hold rcu_read_lock_trace(), not rcu_read_lock(), so a plain RCU grace period does not wait for them. A program whose readers are sleepable needs this flavour to defer reclaim safely. call_rcu_tasks_trace() is call_srcu() on rcu_tasks_trace_srcu_struct and SRCU invokes callbacks with BH disabled, so the callback is still not sleepable. It does run from a kworker rather than softirq or the rcuc/rcuo kthread, so a callback must not assume anything about current.

2026-09-22bpf: Add bpf_call_rcu() kfuncPuranjay Mohan
BPF programs that manage their own objects have no way to run their own logic once an RCU grace period has elapsed. bpf_obj_drop() defers a free, but returning an index to an allocator or unpinning a resource once readers are done has no equivalent. sched_ext's BPF library works around this today by pushing freed nodes onto a list and having a userspace thread call membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL) and then run a BPF program to reclaim them. Add: int bpf_call_rcu(struct bpf_rcu_head *rh, void *map, int (*callback)(struct bpf_map *map, void *key, void *value)); @rh is a struct bpf_rcu_head embedded in a value of @map, so the callback runs as callback(map, key, value) for the element it lives in and needs no cookie. A head can only be armed once, which bounds outstanding work by the number of elements. struct bpf_rcu_head holds the callback state inline rather than a pointer to it, as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, because there is nothing to cancel and so nothing that has to outlive the map value. That avoids an allocation and a state machine on the arming path at the cost of 48 bytes per element. An RCU callback cannot be cancelled, so everything it touches has to stay alive until it runs: - The callback is the program's text, so arming takes a program reference as bpf_timer, bpf_wq and bpf_task_work do, dropped once the callback returns. bpf_prog_inc_not_zero() also fails the arm with -EBADF once the program is dying. - The map is held by that reference through used_maps. An inner map is not, so bpf_rcu_head is rejected in one. - The field is only accepted in BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, whose elements are never freed individually. A hash element can be deleted and recycled while a callback is queued on it. - The head is disarmed before the callback runs so it can be armed again from there, which takes a new program reference before the running callback drops its own. Arming therefore fails with -EPERM once the map is held by neither a process nor bpffs. bpf_iter hands a program a writable pointer to the live element, which would let it overwrite a queued head, so bpf_iter_attach_map() rejects maps carrying one. The callback is verified non-sleepable even when the caller is sleepable, and RCU invokes it with BH disabled.

The result of the operation in that code path is wrong, since it is now unexpectedly truncated to 32 bits and zero-extended. Add logic to the verifier to ensure every instruction either always has at least one PTR_TO_ARENA argument, or never does. Since needs_zext already tracks the first scenario, add a prevent_zext field in bpf_insn_aux to track the latter. Reject instructions that use arena arguments and have prevent_zext set, or do not have arena arguments and have needs_zext set.

2026-09-22bpf: Reject pkt arguments in mutating subprogsEmil Tsalapatis
The verifier tracks changes in how PTR_TO_PACKET registers' bounds are modified across subprog boundaries. PTR_TO_PACKET registers are actually passed as PTR_TO_MEM, which is assumed valid for the entire call. This is not the case with packet memory, where a pskb_* call may invalidate its memory region. Reject BPF code that passes PTR_TO_PACKET pointers to subprogs that may mutate a packet. We cannot pass the pointer as a true PTR_TO_PACKET because we would also need to somehow pass the PTR_TO_PACKET_META or PTR_TO_PACKET_END to the subprog. Since we cannot avoid representing the pointer in the subprog as PTR_TO_MEM, only permit it if the subprog is guaranteed not to mutate the packet.

2026-09-22bpf: Speed up htab lookups for u32/u64 keysMykyta Yatsenko
Four- and eight-byte keys are common enough to warrant specialized htab lookups. Use jhash_1word() and jhash_2words() for these key sizes instead of the generic jhash2() path. For JITed BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH lookups, htab_map_gen_lookup() also knows the map's fixed key size. Select u32- and u64-specific lookup entry points so the compiler can specialize both hashing and key comparison. Other key sizes continue to use the generic lookup entry point. This preserves the jhash2() result and lookup semantics while avoiding generic length handling. Measure this with six runs of: ./bench -w3 -d10 -a bpf-hashmap-lookup \ --key_size KEY_SIZE --max_entries MAX_ENTRIES \ --nr_entries NR_ENTRIES --nr_loops NR_LOOPS \ --map_flags 0x40 inside a vng guest with two vCPUs and 4 GiB of RAM.

2026-09-22PM: hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after image preallocationFlorian Schmaus
Commit 783c81098445 ("PM: hibernate: call preallocate_image() after freeze prepare") moved hibernate_preallocate_memory() after dpm_prepare() so that device drivers have the opportunity to release pinned/unswappable memory during their ->prepare() callback before memory is preallocated for the snapshot image. However, that commit also placed hibernate_preallocate_memory() after freeze_kernel_threads(). While it was assumed during review that swap I/O submitted via submit_bio() is synchronous and would not depend on frozen kernel threads, this does not hold in practice. Calling hibernate_preallocate_memory() with kernel threads frozen leads to intermittent deadlocks during hibernation. Inside hibernate_preallocate_memory(), shrink_all_memory() is invoked with .may_writepage = 1 and .may_swap = 1 to aggressively reclaim and swap out pages. Any writeback or swap I/O that relies on freezable kernel threads, block device helpers, or WQ_FREEZABLE workqueues (such as those in storage drivers, device mapper, or filesystems) deadlocks waiting on tasks that are stuck in the refrigerator. Fix this by reordering hibernation_snapshot(): 1. Call dpm_prepare(PMSG_FREEZE) first, allowing device drivers to release pinned resources while kernel threads are still active. 2. Call hibernate_preallocate_memory() second, performing page reclaim and swapout while storage layers, workqueues, and kernel threads are alive. 3. Call freeze_kernel_threads() third, only after all memory preallocation and swap I/O have completed. Additionally, restore the call to swsusp_free() in the cleanup path so that preallocated image memory is properly freed if freeze_kernel_threads() fails or if TEST_FREEZER is enabled.

2026-09-22signal: enforce the user worker signal mask in __set_task_blocked()Christian Brauner
User workers block every signal except for SIGKILL and SIGSTOP in copy_process(). So complete_signal() never picks a thread that blocks the signal and get_signal() never dequeues such a thread. Net effect is that user workers only exit on SIGKILL or stop on SIGSTOP. Before we fixed it a tracer could unblock a signal. For example, by unblocking SIGHUP a installing a handler complete_signal() could end up picking a user worker for a process-directed SIGHUP. Which effectively means the handler never runs. After blocking PTRACE_SETSIGMASK what remains is the in-kernel sigprocmask() and force_sig_info_to_task() changes. The in-kernel sigprocmask() users block more signals for a critical section and restore the saved mask afterwards. cifs used to do that in __smb_send_rqst() and ocfs2 in ocfs2_block_signals(). Both were reachable from an io-wq worker. Both only add SIGKILL and SIGSTOP to the user workers's and then put the fork-time mask back. force_sig_info_to_task() unblocks a signal so a target can't hide from the signal. A synchronous signal forced onto a user worker is accepted currently so let's leave that alone. Make it a rule that a user worker's signal mask can never drop below the copy_process() deafult. SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have the same rule in the other direction. rt_sigprocmask(), set_current_blocked() and PTRACE_SETSIGMASK strip them from whatever mask userspace asks for. Do the same for user worker mask in __set_task_blocked(). Add the fork-time mask back into the new set for a user worker and warn if that changed anything. Warn when a caller unblocks a signal for a user worker. No functional changes.

2026-09-22fork: don't create io threads once PF_POSTCOREDUMP is setChristian Brauner
zap_process() skips every thread that already has PF_POSTCOREDUMP set. Such a thread is past synchronize_group_exit(), so a coredump can't catch it anymore. It isn't counted in core_state->threads_remaining and it isn't sent SIGKILL. do_exit() sets PF_POSTCOREDUMP in synchronize_group_exit() and calls io_uring_files_cancel() right after that. The cancellation runs task work and a create_worker_cb() that io-wq queued before the exit creates a new io-wq worker from there. If another thread started a coredump in the meantime that worker joins a thread-group which is already being dumped. zap_process() never saw it so it was never counted. But when it exits it sees signal->core_state in synchronize_group_exit() and decrements threads_remaining like any other thread. So the count reaches zero one thread early and the dumper leaves coredump_wait_inactive() while a thread it counted is still running. The task has no fatal signal pending because zap_process() deliberately didn't send it one, and it never went through get_signal() so it doesn't have PF_SIGNALED either. Refuse to create an io thread when the creator has PF_POSTCOREDUMP. That costs nothing. io_uring_files_cancel() raises IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT before it runs any task work, so a worker created from there only ever gets to exit again, and io_should_retry_thread() doesn't retry -EINTR. Clearing PF_POSTCOREDUMP for the new thread in copy_process() was the other option. It makes the worker a thread like any other, but it only helps while the dump hasn't started. A worker born after zap_process() has run is invisible to it whatever its flags say and still decrements threads_remaining on the way out. Refusing to create it covers both, and then no task is ever born with the flag, so there is nothing to clear. Moving io_uring_files_cancel() ahead of synchronize_group_exit() closes the same window. It runs the cancellation, and whatever that can block on, before the thread announces itself to the dumper. A thread that blocks there never reaches coredump_task_exit() at all, so the dumper ends up waiting for a thread that never parks. Refusing the creation leaves the cancellation where it is. But it's very ugly to run io_uring work even before we did all the generic exit work.

2026-09-22fork: move the coredump and exec checks into create_io_thread()Christian Brauner
Only a PF_USER_WORKER thread returns from get_signal() after a fatal signal and can go on to create a thread. get_signal() sets PF_SIGNALED before it dumps core and before it lets a PF_USER_WORKER thread return. That flags sticks. The exec'ing thread itself is never signaled. But it doesn't need the check anyway as we moved cancellation of io_uring requests before de_thread(). create_io_thread() is the only way a signaled thread creates another one. vhost_task_create() is reached from ioctls alone. io_should_retry_thread() doesn't retry -EINTR, so io-wq callers give up the same way they did when copy_process() refused.

2026-09-22ptrace: refuse to change the signal mask of a user workerChristian Brauner
A user worker is created with every signal other than SIGKILL and SIGSTOP blocked. It never runs user code and that mask is what keeps get_signal() from dequeuing anything else for it. complete_signal() never picks a thread that blocks the signal, tkill() queues on the worker but nothing dequeues it. ptrace_signal() requeues an injected signal that the tracee blocks. PTRACE_SETSIGMASK is the only way to change that mask from the outside. A tracer that clears it makes the worker eligible for every signal. Whatever the worker then dequeues it can only act on by leaving. Refuse PTRACE_SETSIGMASK for a user worker with -EPERM, the way ptrace_attach() refuses a kernel thread. A worker is guaranteed to only ever dequeue SIGKILL or SIGSTOP and an injected signal stays pending on it, which is what already happens when the mask isn't touched. Taking the request and quietly leaving the mask alone was the other option, the way set_current_blocked() keeps SIGKILL and SIGSTOP unblocked whatever userspace asks for. But then a tracer gets success back with nothing changed and no way to tell that apart from a mask that took effect.

2026-09-22signal: don't retarget shared signals in a dying thread groupChristian Brauner
If the calling thread has blocked a signal then retarget_shared_pending() slingshots a shared pending signal to a sibling thread. Today it only skips PF_EXITING threads but not a coredumping thread. But if SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set no thread in the thread-group can dequeue such signals anymore as get_signal() sends SIGKILL to every thread and prepare_signal() drops any other signal. exit_signals() also returns early on SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. But neither sigprocmask() nor the mask restore in sigtimedwait() do. Say a thread sleeps in sigtimedwait() and a sibling thread crashes. The sleeping thread gets woken by the zap call. It restores its mask on the way out and retargets a signal that was queued for the coredumping process. That means TIF_SIGPENDING is set on the coredumping task which zap_threads() had cleared. So a blocking write sees TIF_SIGPENDING and truncates the dump. Stop retargeting signals when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set and avoid needlessly truncating coredumps.

2026-09-22sched/cache: Refresh LLC capacity across CPU hotplug, to fix capacity ↵Davi Chaves Azevedo
underestimation bug The scheduler scales LLC capacity by the fraction of cache-sharing CPUs covered by a domain: llc_bytes = cache_size * span_weight / shared_weight During CPU teardown, sched_cpu_deactivate() rebuilds scheduler domains before cacheinfo_cpu_pre_down() removes the CPU from shared_cpu_map. The new domains therefore use the old sharing weight. The later call to sched_update_llc_bytes() looks up the departing CPU's sd_llc, which has already been detached, and returns without correcting the surviving CPUs. On a Ryzen 5 7535U with twelve logical CPUs sharing a 16 MiB LLC, offlining one SMT sibling left the remaining CPUs with: llc_bytes = floor(16777216 * 11 / 12) = 15379114 bytes The correct capacity is still 16777216 bytes. On systems with active cache-aware scheduling, an underestimated capacity can cause exceed_llc_capacity() to reject aggregation for a process whose footprint would fit. Unchanged cpuset partitions sharing the physical cache can also retain stale capacity when a CPU comes online in another partition. Pass the cache-sharing mask already retained by cacheinfo to the scheduler update. Refresh every surviving CPU using its own LLC domain so that each partition receives the correct share. This also preserves the correction needed as cache-sharing maps grow during boot. Keep the existing CPU-hotplug and scheduler-domain synchronization. The update remains on the hotplug path; no steady-state scheduling operation or persistent allocation is added.

2026-09-22sched/cache: Decouple sched_cache_group from mm to fix UAFTim Chen
Currently the sched cache grouping is by mm and the scheduling statistics sched_cache_stat lives in the mm structure. This ties the life cycle of scheduling stats with mm. In account_mm_sched(), the scheduling stats are accessed by task->mm->sc_stat. However, a task may be switching mm on one CPU when another CPU is running account_mm_sched(), and possibly accessing the old mm that was freed. This problem was found when running tests with KASAN by Hyunwoo: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/apPb-Dr4nPYuHQOK@v4bel/ Instead of serializing the mm access by introducing extra acquisition of rq lock in the mm free path, extract sched_cache_stat from mm_struct, rename it as sched_cache_group and manage its life cycle apart from mm_struct with its own ref counting. This allows us in the next patch access sched_cache_group directly from task, and add a refcount on sched_cache_group when a task links to it. This prevents the use after free issue when accessing stale and released old mm and its sched cache stat a task switches to a new mm while account_mm_sched() is done elsewhere. The other benefit of this restructure is in the future, the grouping of tasks to a LLC would have the flexibility to be associated with a user defined grouping, or cgroup, cookie group, numa_group or others instead of just with a single mm address space. Rename sched_cache_stat to sched_cache_group and turn it into a refcounted object allocated from mm_struct. The mm_struct now holds a pointer (sched_cache_grp) to this object instead of embedding it.

2026-09-22sched/cache: Honor migrate_llc_task semantics in active load balance, to fix ↵Lu Wang
LLC mis-scheduling bug Cache aware scheduling introduced the migrate_llc_task migration type to direct tasks toward their preferred LLC, but its semantics can be lost when passive load balance falls back to active load balance (ALB). This may allow ALB to select a candidate whose preferred LLC does not match the destination, moving it away from its preferred LLC. Example scenario: src_rq has two runnable tasks, p1 and p2. p1 prefers dst_rq (dst_llc), while p2 prefers src_rq (src_llc). In this case, migrate_llc_task is set because src_rq has at least one task, p1, that wants to migrate to dst_rq. In ALB, can_migrate_task() finds p2 and returns true for it, thus moving p2 out of its preferred LLC. Solution: The CPU stopper in ALB constructs a fresh lb_env that does not inherit migration_type from the passive load-balance pass. Two approaches are possible: (a) Add a new member to struct rq so ALB can inherit migrate_llc_task from the passive LB that triggered it.

2026-09-22sched/cache: Keep nr_pref_llc_running in the runnable domain, to fix LLC ↵Tim Chen
mis-scheduling bug alb_break_llc() decides whether to break LLC preference during active load balance. It does so by testing that every runnable fair task on the source rq prefers its LLC: env->src_rq->nr_pref_llc_running == env->src_rq->cfs.h_nr_runnable But the two counters cover different sets. nr_pref_llc_running is updated in account_llc_enqueue()/account_llc_dequeue(), next to cfs_rq->nr_queued, so it follows queued tasks. h_nr_runnable is updated in set_delayed()/ clear_delayed() and drops delay-dequeued tasks. So under DELAY_DEQUEUE, a preferring task that goes to sleep stays counted in nr_pref_llc_running while h_nr_runnable falls. The equality then breaks, alb_break_llc() returns false, and active balance is free to pull a task off its preferred LLC. Active balance only moves runnable tasks, and this is the only LLC check it consults: once the stopper runs, LBF_ACTIVE_LB skips the per-task test in can_migrate_task(). The runnable set is the one we want. Fix it on the counter side. A task should be counted in nr_pref_llc_running exactly while it is both queued on its preferred LLC (pref_llc_queued) and runnable (!sched_delayed). Define that membership once in task_pref_llc_runnable(), and adjust the counter only through pref_llc_running_inc()/pref_llc_running_dec() from the four sites that change either input: account_llc_enqueue(), account_llc_dequeue(), set_delayed() and clear_delayed(). Gating every update on the same predicate keeps the delay, wake and dequeue paths from double-counting or underflowing; see the comments at those sites for the ordering. nr_llc_running and sd->llc_counts are not touched and stay on queued semantics.

2026-09-21seccomp: restore knotif->state when SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND is interruptedHui Peng
In seccomp_notify_addfd(), when SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND is set in addfd.flags, knotif->state is optimistically transitioned from SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT to SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED before waking the tracee and waiting on kaddfd.completion: if (addfd.flags & SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND) { knotif->state = SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED; ... } If wait_for_completion_interruptible(&kaddfd.completion) is interrupted by a signal before the tracee dequeues the kaddfd request (!list_empty(&kaddfd.list)), seccomp_notify_addfd() removes kaddfd from knotif->addfd and returns -EINTR to the supervisor without having installed the file descriptor. However, knotif->state is left as SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED (with knotif->error == 0 and knotif->val == 0). This causes two problems: 1. When the tracee runs in do_user_notif(), it checks if (knotif.state != SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED) after calling seccomp_handle_addfd(). Because knotif->state is already SECCOMP_NOTIFY_REPLIED, the tracee exits the notification wait loop prematurely and returns 0 from the trapped syscall without the file descriptor ever having been installed. 2. If the supervisor retries SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD or SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND before the tracee runs, it fails with -EINPROGRESS because knotif->state is no longer SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT. Fix this by restoring knotif->state back to SECCOMP_NOTIFY_SENT if SECCOMP_ADDFD_FLAG_SEND was set and kaddfd was not consumed before the interrupted wait. Also add a seccomp_bpf selftest (user_notification_addfd_send_interrupted) covering this race. Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 using the user_notification_addfd_send_interrupted selftest added in this patch (./seccomp_bpf -t user_notification_addfd_send_interrupted): on the unfixed kernel the test fails because the retry ioctl(listener, SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD, &addfd) returns -EINPROGRESS (-1) and the tracee prematurely exits do_user_notif() with return value 0 instead of FD 42, whereas with this patch applied the test passes.

2026-09-21bpf: Reject non-negative offsets in stack_slot_obj_get_spi()Xu Yunxiang
bpf_get_spi() computes (-off - 1) / BPF_REG_SIZE using C division, which truncates toward zero. For off == 0, this produces spi 0, the same index used by the valid stack slot at fp-8. stack_slot_obj_get_spi() currently checks alignment and the resulting spi bounds, but does not reject the non-negative offset itself. It can therefore validate a PTR_TO_STACK register holding fp+0 against an iterator stored at fp-8 even though the runtime receives the actual fp+0 pointer. An effectful iterator kfunc can then interpret memory outside the BPF stack as iterator state. Reject non-negative offsets before converting the offset to an spi. All valid stack objects begin at a negative offset from the frame pointer.

2026-09-21sched_ext: Specialize the scheduler hashtable compareUsama Arif
scx_sched_hash_params does not provide an object comparison function, so rhashtable falls back to rhashtable_compare(). Although the sub-cgroup ID key is one naturally aligned u64, the generic comparison reads the key offset and length from the table parameters at runtime and emits an out-of-line memcmp() for each element walked. Supply an obj_cmpfn so lookups specialize to a single equality test against ops.sub_cgroup_id. ext.c and sub.c are included in the same build_policy.c translation unit, so the compiler can fold the const callback into scx_find_sub_sched() even though its source is in sub.c. The result is only tested against zero, so the ordering provided by memcmp() is not observable. No functional change intended.

2026-09-21cgroup/cpuset: Remove redundant sched domain rebuild from update_prstate()Guopeng Zhang
Both callers of update_prstate(), cpuset_partition_write() and cpuset_css_killed(), call cpuset_update_sd_hk_unlock() immediately afterwards. That helper rebuilds sched domains when force_sd_rebuild is set before releasing the cpuset locks, so the check in update_prstate() is redundant. Commit 3bfe47967191 ("cgroup/cpuset: Move housekeeping_update()/rebuild_sched_domains() together") removed the same check from cpuset_write_resmask(). Remove the remaining one from update_prstate().
