2026-09-26KVM: WARN if vCPU creation is in-progress when locking all vCPUsSean Christopherson
Now that KVM holds kvm->lock for the entirety of vCPU creation, from when created_vcpus is incremented until the new vCPU is fully onlined, WARN if the impossible happens and KVM somehow sees a discrepancy between the number of vCPUs "created" and "onlined".

2026-09-26Revert "KVM: Check for duplicate vcpu_id as early as possible"Sean Christopherson
Now that KVM uses kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() to check for an existing vCPU ID before doing any meaningful work, which was made possible by holding kvm->lock for the entirety of vCPU creation, revert the now-redundant "early" vCPU ID tracking. The claims about the impact of kvm->vcpu_ids on the memory footprint were a wee bit wrong: the worst case scenario isn't 256 bytes per VM, it's 256 "unsigned longs" per VM, i.e. 2048 bytes per VM. Increasing the size of "struct kvm" by 2048 nearly doubled the total size on many architectures, and tripped x86's KVM_SANITY_CHECK_VM_STRUCT_SIZE, which was added to detect this *exact* scenario, where a single change significantly increased the size of "struct kvm". I.e. attempting to build KVM with CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=n fails on x86 (the build failures got missed because all build bots apparently test only CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y kernels, and maintainers' test flows were similarly lacking). This reverts commit 97d65b544f48b2ee49f6aea32145e3e7969955dc.

2026-09-26KVM: Move check for existing vCPU ID to the top of vCPU creationSean Christopherson
Now that kvm->lock is held for the entirety of vCPU creation, check for a conflicting vCPU ID at the begnning of vCPU creation, before the arch precreate() hook is invoked. This will allow reverting commit 97d65b544f48 ("KVM: Check for duplicate vcpu_id as early as possible"). For now, keep the redundant vcpu_ids tracking as a sanity check. No functional change intended (absent KVM bugs, checking vcpu_ids and walking kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() should yield the same result).

2026-09-26KVM: Protect all of kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() with kvm->lockSean Christopherson
When creating a vCPU, don't drop kvm->lock to when doing the bulk of actual vCPU creation, as allowing multiple vCPUs to be created in parallel adds significant complexity in KVM (as evidenced by the many related bugs), and all known VMMs fully serialize vCPU creation. Remove all manually locking of kvm->lock from kvm_arch_vcpu_{post,}create() for obvious reasons. For many years, "everyone" has assumed that dropping kvm->lock was done for performance reasons optimization, e.g. to allow userspace to create all vCPUs concurrently for latency purposes. But as above, no known VMM does that. Looking at the history of this code, before commit 11ec28047118 ("KVM: Convert vm lock to a mutex"), kvm->lock was a spinlock. I.e. KVM *had* to drop kvm->lock when doing the bulk of vCPU creation, otherwise KVM couldn't do normal memory allocations. When kvm->lock got turned into a mutex for unrelated reasons, no one took advantage updated of the change to simplify vCPU creation. And 19 years later, everyone just assumed that KVM continued to deal with the complexity for performance reasons. Furthermore, naively parallelizing vCPU creation in userspace is likely a net negative due to the overheads of task creation. Unless a VMM carefully avoids the extra overhead related to parallelization, e.g. spawns each vCPU's thread before creating the vCPU, creating vCPUs concurrently is a net *negative* up until about ~64 vCPUs, after which the times are a wash. The absolute speed of light _is_ faster if KVM doesn't hold kvm-lock, but at vCPU counts of ~16 or less, it's probably in the noise when considering total VM creation time, as the added latency is less than 1ms up until 16 or so vCPUs. On top of all that, KVM has had a *lot* of fatal bugs (most often found by syzkaller) related to vCPUs being created while trying to do per-VM operations (basically, see every flow that locks all vCPUs). I.e. the parallel vCPU creation "support" is actively harmful as the only "use case" is for misbehaving userspace to exploit KVM bugs. Serializing vCPU creation will allow reverting commit 97d65b544f48 ("KVM: Check for duplicate vcpu_id as early as possible"), which had "minor" math error: the worst case scenario isn't "256 bytes per VM", it's "256 unsigned longs per VM", i.e. 2048 bytes per VM, which doubles the size of each VM and pushes several architectures into order-1 allocations.

2026-09-26KVM: Reject attempts to lock all vCPUs if vCPU creation is in-progressSean Christopherson
Reject locking of all vCPUs if vCPU creation is in-progress, i.e. if the number of "created" vCPUs doesn't match the number of "onlined" vCPUs. It's simply not possible to guarantee that KVM has truly locked all vCPUs if one or more vCPUs are actively being created. Holding kvm->lock does prevent in-flight vCPUs from being fully onlined, but it's infeasible for common KVM to know whether or not that provides sufficient protection. In practice, this is likely a minor bug fix for the ARM and RISC-V usage of kvm_trylock_all_vcpus(), and a glorified nop for everything else. E.g. ARM's kvm_timer_vcpu_init() can race kvm_vm_ioctl_set_counter_offset() with respect to observing KVM_ARCH_FLAG_VM_COUNTER_OFFSET. Opportunistically drop x86's existing manual checks on vCPU creation being in-progress as all of x86's checks immediately precede or follow locking of all vCPUs. Leave arm64 and RISC-V alone for the moment, as their checks aren't as obviously redundant/equivalent.

2026-09-22KVM: Don't pre-reserve xarray entries when storing empty/NULL attributesZeng Chi

2026-09-22KVM: Ensure memory attributes xarray nodes are accounted to the caller's memcgDavid Ballesteros
Explicitly instantiate the memory attributes xarray with XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT to ensure that all allocations are accounted to the memcg. Frustratingly, memory allocations done in the "fastpath" do not honor the passed in gfp, even for an explicit xa_reserve(). Only the rare, slow path __xas_nomem() honors the original gfp. E.g. xa_reserve(..., GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) | -> ... | -> __xa_cmpxchg_raw() | -> xas_store() <== does not take @gfp | -> xas_create() | -> xas_alloc() The bug was confirmed by observing that a process in a cgroup limited to 256 MiB grew radix_tree_node slab by ~512 MiB while its memory.current stayed near 0.

2026-09-22KVM: Don't treat reserved xarray entries as having memory attributesZeng Chi
kvm_vm_set_mem_attributes() reserves an xarray entry for every gfn in the range before storing the new attributes, so that the store loop can't fail partway through. If one of the reservations fails, e.g. with -ENOMEM, the entries that were already reserved are left in the array. That is harmless as far as xa_reserve() is concerned, as the reserved entries read back as NULL via xa_load(), but it confuses the "does this range have no attributes at all" check: if (!attrs) return !xas_find(&xas, end - 1); A reserved entry is XA_ZERO_ENTRY, not NULL, and xas_find() returns it as present. So a leftover reservation makes KVM report that a fully shared range has attributes even though kvm_get_memory_attributes() returns none for every gfn in the range. On x86, the next time mixed-attribute tracking is recomputed for the range (memslot creation, or a later attribute change that straddles the 2MiB page), hugepage_has_attrs() treats a fully shared 2MiB range as mixed and refuses to map it with a hugepage, until userspace happens to set attributes on the range again. Drop the shortcut and handle the !attrs case in the per-index loop, using xas_next_entry() to find the next non-NULL entry. xas_next_entry() is essentially an optimized xas_find(), so the effective change is that the !attrs lookup now goes through xas_retry() like the attrs != 0 case, i.e. reserved entries are skipped and retry entries restart the walk. Don't check the index when no entry is found, as the xarray leaves the xas index in a bogus state in that case; no entry simply means the rest of the range has no attributes. KVM never stores a non-NULL entry with a value of zero (clearing stores NULL), but such an entry would be returned by xas_next_entry() and trip the index check, so WARN if one is ever seen.

2026-07-31KVM: Check for duplicate vcpu_id as early as possibleDmytro Maluka
If userspace tries to create a vCPU with the same vcpu_id as an existing one, kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() checks for that and fails with -EEXIST only after it already created the vCPU via kvm_arch_vcpu_create(). As a result, even though this newly created vCPU is destroyed in the failure path, the fact that it is temporarily created with an invalid vcpu_id and that there are temporarily two vCPUs with the same vcpu_id is a potential source of subtle issues. In particular, this prevents fixing an VMX IPIv issue where a stale entry left in the VM's PI descriptor table after the vCPU is destroyed in the failure path. The right way to fix that issue is to clear that entry when destroying the vCPU, however right now that would have a nasty side effect: since the same entry is used for the other, previously created vCPU with same vcpu_id, clearing it would mean effectively disabling IPIv for that existing good vCPU. So to avoid this and similar problems, check for duplicate vcpu_id as early in the vCPU creation path as possible, before kvm_arch_vcpu_create() and even before kvm_arch_vcpu_precreate(). Simply moving the existing kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() check earlier doesn't work, as kvm->lock is dropped and reacquired, i.e. moving kvm_get_vcpu_by_id() would introduce a race: 1. vCPU A is being created but not installed in kvm->vcpu_array yet. 2. vCPU B with the same vcpu_id is being created. It passes the duplicated vcpu_id check, since the check doesn't find vCPU A in kvm->vcpu_array. 3. vCPU A is installed in kvm->vcpu_array, vCPU creation succeeds. 4. vCPU B with the same vcpu_id is installed in kvm->vcpu_array, vCPU creation succeeds. So introduce the bitmap of vcpu_ids used by the VM, in order to safely check if the given vcpu_id is used and mark is as used before releasing kvm->lock first time. Alternatively, KVM could use another Xarray[*] for roughly the same code complexity, which would minimize KVM's steady state memory footprint at the cost of higher runtime latency (to allocate and free entries). Given that the worst case scenario is 256 bytes per-VM (on x86, which allows up to 16KiB vCPU IDs), go with the slightly simpler approach until there's a need to save memory.

2026-07-27KVM: guest_memfd: Make private exactly what can be mapped on page faultSean Christopherson
When calling into arch code to make the underlying memory private, i.e. to assign memory to the VM in SNP's RMP table, assign/convert *exactly* the range of memory that can be mapped into the guest for the current page fault, instead of aggressively converting/assigning the entire folio. For SNP, the mapping size in the stage-2 page tables (Nested Page Tables, NPT) must be at least the size of the corresponding RMP entry, e.g. assigning a 2MiB mapping in the RMP when it can only be mapped at 4KiB granualarity will ultimate result in another page fault (#NPF for SNP) to "smash" the RMP down to the correct mapping size. Assigning the entire folio was necessary back when guest_memfd tracked preparedness, which was done on a per-folio basis. At the time, it made sense to do per-folio tracking/preparation, because tracking per-folio meant guest_memfd didn't need to add a separate data structure to track that information, and doing per-folio tracking only works if the entire folio is prepared (or not). Now that guest_memfd no longer does preparation tracking (see commit 8622ef05709f ("KVM: guest_memfd: Remove preparation tracking")), in favor having SNP query the RMP, per-folio preparation, i.e. per-folio conversions to private, doesn't make any sense. *If* SNP allowed the RMP size to be greater than the NPT size, then per-folio conversion could theoretically provide marginal value, as it would allow KVM to assign a hugepage in the RMP even if it can only be mapped into the NPT with a smaller page, e.g. because of memslot alignment. The documentation of that reasoning would be something like this: /* * If the memory is private from KVM's perspective, and hardware tracks * VM-assigned private memory in a dedicated data structure, i.e. not * in the stage-2 page tables, then call into arch code to assign the * entire folio to the guest. Assigning the entire folio, e.g. instead * of only the memory being mapped into the guest, allows KVM to assign * an entire hugepage of memory in the out-of-band structure even if * KVM can only map a smaller page size into the MMU, e.g. because the * gmem hugepage is spread across multiple memslots. */ But even *if* a future SNP implementation supported that behavior, the value added would be dubious, as having a huge folio that is fully private, but can only be mapped at a smaller granularity, would be rare. E.g. maybe for memory at the top of lower DRAM that has holes for non-RAM assets? So, convert/assign exactly what guest_memfd allows the caller to map to simplify the guest_memfd code and provide a (super) minor performance optimization for SNP. E.g. once hugepage support comes along, guest_memfd will only need a single flow to compute "how much memory can be assigned and at what size".

2026-07-27KVM: guest_memfd: Explicitly pass number of pages to make_private() hookSean Christopherson
Tweak the guest_memfd make_private() hook to explicitly pass the number of pages to align with the signature of the make_shared() hook, and because the existing code is outright broken if a guest_memfd folio is comprised of more than one page (which can't happen, yet). The SNP code *tries* to create a corresponding huge entry, but if the RMP must use 4KiB entries for whatever reason, KVM will only convert the first pfn, and not the entire range of pfns that will be mapped into the guest. Alternatively, @max_order could simply be repurposed as _the_ @order, but that will fall apart when in-place conversion comes along, at which point KVM will need to deal with conversions that aren't bound 1:1 to a folio. I.e. the number of pages to convert may not be exactly a power-of-2 (and folios don't strictly guarantee power-of-2 pages anyways). WARN in the SNP code if the number of pages to prepare is anything other than '1', i.e. if guest_memfd is trying to prepare/convert more than a single 4KiB page, as sev_gmem_prepare() doesn't actually handle conversion greater than order-0 folios. Opportunistically swap the ordering of @pfn and @gfn params for kvm_x86_ops.gmem_make_private() to match kvm_arch_gmem_make_private().

2026-07-27KVM: guest_memfd: Only "prepare" folios for private pagesAckerley Tng
When getting a guest_memfd pfn, prepare the folio, i.e. convert its pages to private, if and only if the page is actually private. The misnamed prepare() hook exists specifically to allow x86's SNP to assign pages to the owning VM in the RMP when mapping private memory into a guest. Guarding the call will allow renaming the prepare() hook to better reflect its role, without creating a semantic mess, and will become a hard requirement once in-place conversion is supported, i.e. when CoCo VMs support SHARED guest_memfd pages. For all intents, no functional change intended (the sole arch hook is a nop for SHARED memory).

2026-07-27KVM: guest_memfd: Rename invalidate() arch hook to reclaim() and isolate itSean Christopherson
Rename guest_memfd's invalidate() hook to reclaim() and isolate it via its own RECLAIM Kconfig, as the hook is called when a folio is freed, which is far too late and lacks sufficient information for KVM to actually invalidate its usage of the memory. E.g. SNP uses the hook to convert memory back to SHARED so that it can be safely accessed by the host, there is no invalidation of guest mappings anywhere. Isolating the hook will also allow pKVM on arm64 to opt-in to reclaim() without also having to differentiate between reclaim and conversions to shared for active VMs. Keep guest_memfd's trampoline, even though it would be trivial to wire up .free_folio() directly to an arch callback, to avoid bleeding guest_memfd internals into arch code (specifically, avoid referencing folios in arch code). Leave the kvm_x86_ops hook as-is for the moment, as "reclaim" on SNP is the same as convert-to-shared, i.e. using a different name for the x86 hook will allow reusing it for in-place conversion.

2026-07-10KVM: SEV: Forcefully invalidate SNP VMSA if its backing gmem page is zappedSean Christopherson
Wire up a gmem_invalidate_range() call for SNP VMs, and use it to force vCPUs to reload/recheck their guest-provided VMSA if the backing gmem page is being invalidated, e.g. is being PUNCH_HOLE'd. Use the same core logic to handle invalidations as VMX does for the APIC-access page, as the two concepts are nearly identical: shove the physical address of a page into the vCPU's control structure: 1. Snapshot the invalidation sequence counter 2. Grab the pfn (from guest_memfd in this case) 3. Acquire mmu_lock for read 4. Re-request reload if retry is needed, otherwise commit the change. Note, the re-request action in #4 is necessary as KVM's retry logic is fuzzy, i.e. can get false positives. If the guest_memfd page has been dropped, at some point a subsequent reload will fail to get a PFN from guest_memfd, and KVM will fail KVM_RUN. If the retry was due to a false positive, KVM will retry until there are no relevant MMU notifier events (and will retry in the "outer" loop, i.e. will drop locks and resched as needed). Note #2! Take care to invalidate the VMSA when a relevant memslot is DELETED or MOVED, as invalidations in response to PUNCH_HOLE are predicated on memslot bindings (KVM doesn't know what GFN range(s) to invalidate without a binding). And more importantly, the VMSA mapping requires a memslot, i.e. must be invalidated if its memslots disappears, regardless of the state of the underlying guest_memfd inode. Failure to invalidate the vCPU's control.vmsa_pa (which is checked by pre_sev_run()) can prevent KVM from properly freeing the page as firmware will reject the RMPUPDATE to reclaim the page with FAIL_INUSE if the vCPU is actively running, i.e. if VMSA page is in-use. That in turn leads to an RMP #PF on the next use, as the page will still be assigned to the SNP VM.

Unwind the index back to -1 if inserting the vCPU into the array or adding the vCPU to the fd table fails, so that kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy() sees the vCPU as unreachable, i.e. so that teardown logic doesn't hit false positive lockdep assertions. Opportunistically add a comment to call out that the "real" index needs to be set before making the vCPU visible to other tasks.

kvm_io_bus_get_dev() returns a device that is only matched by the address, and nothing else. This can cause a lifetime issue if the matched device is not the expected type, as by the time the caller can introspect the object, it might be gone (the srcu lock having been dropped). Given that there is only a single user of this helper, the simplest option is to move the locking responsibility to the caller, which can keep the srcu lock held for as long as it wants. Note that this aligns with other kvm_io_bus*() helpers, which already require the srcu lock to be held by the callers.

For a given store, KVM x86's emulator tracks the entire value in the destination operand, x86_emulate_ctxt.dst. If the destination is memory, and the target splits multiple pages and/or is emulated MMIO, then KVM handles each fragment independently. E.g. on a page split starting at page offset 0xffc, KVM writes 4 bytes to the first page, then the remaining bytes to the second page, using ctxt->dst as the source for both (with appropriate offsets). If the destination splits a page *and* hits emulated MMIO on the second page, then KVM will complete the write to the first page, then emulate the MMIO access to the second page. If there is a datamatch-enabled ioeventfd at offset 0 of the second page, then KVM will process the remainder of the store as a potential ioeventfd signal. Putting it all together, if the guest emits a store that splits a page starting at page offset N, and the second page has a datamatch-enabled ioeventfd at offset 0, then KVM will check for datamatch using &dst.valptr[N] as the source. Due to dst (and thus dst.valptr) being 32-byte aligned, if N is not aligned to @len, the BUG_ON() fires. E.g. with a 16-byte store at page offset 0xffc, to an ioeventfd of len 8, all initial checks in ioeventfd_in_range() will succeed, and the BUG_ON() fires due to @val being 4-byte aligned, but not 8-byte aligned. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/eventfd.c:783!

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "arm64: This is a bit of an odd merge window on the KVM/arm64 front. There is absolutely no new feature in the pull request. It is purely fixes, because it is simply becoming too hard to review new stuff when so many AI-fuelled fixes hit the list. - Significant cleanup of the vgic-v5 PPI support which was merged in 7.1. This makes the code more maintainable, and squashes a couple of bugs in the meantime - Set of fixes for the handling of the MMU in an NV context, particularly VNCR-triggered faults. S1POE support is fixed as well - Large set of pKVM fixes, mostly addressing recurring issues around hypervisor tracking of donated pages in obscure cases where the donation could fail and leave things in a bizarre state - Fixes for the so-called "lazy vgic init", which resulted in sleeping operations in non-preemptible sections. This turned out to be far more invasive than initially expected.. - Reduce the overhead of L1/L2 context switch by not touching the FP registers - Fix the way non-implemented page sizes are dealt with when a guest insist on using them for S2 translation - The usual set of low-impact fixes and cleanups all over the map Loongarch: - On a request for lazy FPU load, load all FPU state that the VM supports instead of enabling only the part (FPU, LSX or LASX) that caused the FPU load request - Some enhancements about interrupt injection - Some bug fixes and other small changes RISC-V: - Batch G-stage TLB flushes for GPA range based page table updates - Convert HGEI line management to fully per-HART - Fix missing CSR dirty marking when FWFT state updated via ONE_REG - Fix stale FWFT feature exposure to Guest/VM - Speed up dirty logging write faults using MMU rwlock and atomic PTE updates using cmpxchg() for permission-only changes - Use flexible array for APLIC IRQ state - Use kvm_slot_dirty_track_enabled() for logging enable check on a memslot - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range() - Avoid skipping valid pages in kvm_riscv_gstage_unmap_range() - Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory S390: - KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY support - Support for 2G hugepages - Support for the ASTFLEIE 2 facility - Support for fast inject using kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic - Fix potential leak of uninitialized bytes - A few more misc gmap fixes x86: - Generic support for the more granular permissions allowed by EPT, namely "read" (which was previously usurping the U bit) and separate execution bits for kernel and userspace - Do not assume that all page tables start with U=1/W=1/NX=0 at the root, as AMD GMET needs to have U=0 at the root - Introduce common assembly macros for use within Intel and AMD vendor-specific vmentry code. This touches the SPEC_CTRL handling, which is now entirely done in assembly for Intel (by reusing the AMD code that already existed), and register save/restore which uses some macro magic to compute the offsets in the struct. Both of these are preparatory changes for upcoming APX support - Clean up KVM's register tracking and storage, primarily to prepare for APX support, which expands the maximum number of GPRs from 16 to 32 - Keep a single copy of the PDPTRs rather than two, since architecturally there is just one - Handle EXIT_FASTPATH_EXIT_USERSPACE in vendor code to ensure vendor code gets a chance to handle things like reaping the PML buffer - Update KVM's view of PV async enabling if and only if the MSR write fully succeeds - Fix a variety of issues where the emulator doesn't honor guest-debug state, and clean up related code along the way - Synthesize EPT Violation and #NPF "error code" bits when injecting faults into L1 that didn't originate in hardware (in which case the VMCS/VMCB doesn't hold relevant information) - Add support for virtualizing (well, emulating) AMD's flavor of CPL>0 CPUID faulting - Clean up the GPR APIs so that KVM's use of "raw" is consistent, and fix a variety of minor bugs along the way - Fix an OOB memory access due to not checking the VP ID when handling a Hyper-V PV TLB flush for L2 - Fix a bug in the mediated PMU's handling of fixed counters that allowed the guest to bypass the PMU event filter - Allow userspace to return EAGAIN when handling SNP and TDX hypercalls, so the KVM can forward a "retry" status code to the guest, and reserve all unused error codes for future usage - Overhaul the TDP MMU => S-EPT code to move as much S-EPT specific logic as possible into the TDX code, and to funnel (almost) all S-EPT updates into a single chokepoint. The motivation is largely to prepare for upcoming Dynamic PAMT support, but the cleanups are nice to have on their own - Plug a hole in shadow page table handling, where KVM fails to recursively zap nested EPT/NPT shadow page tables when the nested hypervisor tears down its own EPT/NPT page tables from the bottom up x86 (Intel): - Support for nested MBEC (Mode-Based Execute Control), see above in the generic section; also run with MBEC enabled even for non-nested mode - Use the kernel's "enum pg_level" in the TDX APIs instead of the TDX-Module's level definitions (which are 0-based) - Rework the TDX memory APIs to not require/assume that guest memory is backed by "struct page" (in prepartion for guest_memfd hugepage support) - Fix a largely benign bug where KVM TDX would incorrectly state it could emulate several x2APIC MSRs - Use the "safe" WRMSR API when proxying LBR MSR writes as the to-be-written value is guest controlled and completely unvalidated x86 (AMD): - Support for nested GMET (Guest Mode Execution Trap), see above in the generic section; also run with GMET enabled even for non-nested mode - Fixes and minor cleanups to GHCB handling, on top of the earlier work already merged into 7.1-rc - Ensure KVM's copy of CR0 and CR3 are up-to-date prior to invoking fastpath handlers - Add support for virtualizing gPAT (KVM previously just used L1's PAT when running L2) - Fix goofs where KVM mishandles side effects (e.g. single-step and PMC updates) when emulating VMRUN - Fix a variety of bugs in AVIC's handling of x2APIC MSR interception, most notably where KVM didn't disable interception of IRR, ISR, and TMR regs - Add support for virtualizing Host-Only/Guest-Only bits in the mediated PMU - Don't advertise support for unusable VM types, and account for VM types that are disabled by firmware, e.g. to mitigate security vulnerabilities - Rewrite the SEV {en,de}crypt debug ioctls as they were riddle with bugs and unnecessarily complicated, and add comprehensive tests - Clean up and deduplicate the SEV page pinning code - Fix minor goofs related to writing back CPUID information after firmware rejects a CPUID page for an SNP vCPU Generic: - Rename invalidate_begin() to invalidate_start() throughout KVM to follow the kernel's nomenclature, e.g. for mmu_notifiers - Use guard() to cleanup up various KVM+VFIO flows - Minor cleanups guest_memfd: - Return -EEXIST instead of -EINVAL if userspace attempts to bind a gmem range to multiple memslots, and fix the test that was supposed to ensure KVM returns -EEXIST - Treat memslot binding offsets and sizes as unsigned values to fix a bug where KVM interprets a large "offset + size" as a negative value and allows a nonsensical offset - Use the inode number instead of the page offset for the NUMA interleaving index to fix a bug where the effective index would jump by two for consecutive pages (the caller also adds in the page offset) Selftests: - Randomize the dirty log test's delay when reaping the bitmap on the first pass, as always waiting only 1ms hid a KVM RISC-V bug as the test reaped the bitmap before KVM could build up enough state to hit the bug - A pile of one-off fixes and cleanups" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (326 commits) KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure hugepage is in by slot before checking max mapping level KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role KVM: s390: Introducing kvm_arch_set_irq_inatomic fast inject KVM: s390: Enable adapter_indicators_set to use mapped pages KVM: s390: Add map/unmap ioctl and clean mappings post-guest riscv: kvm: Use endian-specific __lelong for NACL shared memory KVM: selftests: access_tracking_perf_test: bump number of NUMA nodes to 32 KVM: s390: vsie: Implement ASTFLEIE facility 2 KVM: s390: vsie: Refactor handle_stfle s390/sclp: Detect ASTFLEIE 2 facility KVM: s390: Minor refactor of base/ext facility lists KVM: x86/mmu: move pdptrs out of the MMU KVM: x86: check that kvm_handle_invpcid is only invoked with shadow paging KVM: nSVM: invalidate cached PDPTRs across nested NPT transitions KVM: nVMX: remove unnecessary code in prepare_vmcs02_rare KVM: x86: remove nested_mmu from mmu_is_nested() KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Make ABI commit helpers return void KVM: s390: Initialize KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS memory LoongArch: KVM: Add missing slots_lock for device register/unregister LoongArch: KVM: Validate irqchip index in irqfd routing ...

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

2026-06-08KVM: guest_memfd: fix NUMA interleave index double-countingMichael S. Tsirkin
kvm_gmem_get_policy() sets the interleave index (the output param that's typically named "ilx") to the full page offset (vm_pgoff + vma offset). But get_vma_policy() adds the page offset on top of the interleave index, and so the offset is counted twice. This causes NUMA interleaving to skip nodes: for order-0 pages the effective index jumps by 2 for each consecutive page. The vm_op.get_policy() implementation should return only a per-file bias in the interleave index (like shmem_get_policy does with inode->i_ino), letting get_vma_policy() add the page-offset component. Fix by setting the output interleave index to the inode number (a la shmem) instead of the full page offset, as the index is intended to be a constant, semi-random value for a given file, e.g. so that interleaving doesn't start at the same node for every file, and so that allocations are round-robined across nodes based on the page offset (the selected node would bounce/skip around if the index isn't constant).

2026-06-03KVM: Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dyingSean Christopherson
When marking a page dirty, complain about not having a running/loaded vCPU if and only if the VM is still alive, i.e. its refcount is non-zero. This will allow fixing a memory leak for x86 SEV-ES guests without hitting what is effectively a false positive on the WARN. For some SEV-ES VM-Exits, KVM keeps a writable mapping of a guest page across an exit to userspace, and typically unmaps the page on the next KVM_RUN. But if userspace never calls KVM_RUN after such an exit, then KVM needs to unmap the page when the vCPU is destroyed, which in turn triggers the WARN about not having a running vCPU. Alternatively, SEV-ES could temporarily load the vCPU to suppress the WARN, as is done in nested_vmx_free_vcpu() (but for completely unrelated reasons; suppressing WARN from nested_put_vmcs12_pages() is pure happenstance). But loading a vCPU during destruction is gross (ideally nVMX code would be cleaned up), risks complicating the SEV-ES code (KVM would need to ensure the temporarily load()+put() only runs when the vCPU isn't already loaded), and is ultimately pointless. The motivation for the WARN is to guard against KVM dirtying guest memory without pushing the corresponding GFN to the active vCPU's dirty ring, e.g. to ensure userspace doesn't miss a dirty page. But for the VM's refcount to reach zero, there can't be _any_ userspace mappings to the dirty ring, as mapping the dirty ring requires doing mmap() on the vCPU FD. I.e. if userspace had a valid mapping for the dirty ring, then the vCPU file and thus the owning VM would still be alive. And so since userspace can't possibly reach the dirty ring, whether or not KVM technically "misses" a push to the dirty ring is irrelevant.

2026-06-03KVM: guest_memfd: Treat memslot binding offset+size as unsigned valuesSean Christopherson
When binding a memslot to a guest_memfd file, treat the offset and size as unsigned values to fix a bug where the sum of the two can result in a false negative when checking for overflow against the size of the file. Passing unsigned values also avoids relying on somewhat obscure checks in other flows for safety, and tracks the offset and size as they are intended to be tracked, as unsigned values. On 64-bit kernels, the number of pages a memslot contains and thus the size (and offset) of its guest_memfd binding are unsigned 64-bit values. Taking the offset+size as an loff_t instead of a uoff_t inadvertently converts the unsigned value to a signed value if the offset and/or size is massive. Locally storing the offset and size as signed values is benign in and of itself (though even that is *extremely* difficult to discern), but operating on their sum is not. For the offset, KVM explicitly checks against a negative value, which might seem like a bug as KVM could incorrectly reject a legitimate binding, but that's not actually the case as KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD takes a signed value for its size, i.e. a would-be-negative offset is also greater than the maximum possible size of any guest_memfd file. Regarding the size, while KVM lacks an explicit check for a negative value, i.e. seemingly has a flawed overflow check, KVM restricts the number of pages in a single memslot to the largest positive signed 32-bit value: if (id < KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS && (mem->memory_size >> PAGE_SHIFT) > KVM_MEM_MAX_NR_PAGES) return -EINVAL; and so that maximum "size" will ever be is 0x7fffffff000. The sum of the two is, however, problematic. While the size is restricted by KVM's memslot logic, the offset is not, i.e. the offset is completely unchecked until the "offset + size > i_size_read(inode)" check. If the offset is the (nearly) largest possible _positive_ value, then adding size to the offset can result in a signed, negative 64-bit value. When compared against the size of the file (guaranteed to be positive), the negative sum is always smaller, and KVM incorrectly allows the absurd offset. Opportunistically add missing includes in kvm_mm.h (instead of relying on its parents).

2026-05-26KVM: guest_memfd: Return -EEXIST for overlapping bindingsZongyao Chen
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 rejects guest_memfd ranges that overlap an existing binding, but kvm_gmem_bind() currently reports the failure through its generic -EINVAL path. That makes binding conflicts indistinguishable from malformed guest_memfd parameters. Return -EEXIST when the target guest_memfd range is already bound, matching the errno used for overlapping GPA memslots and making the two types of range conflicts report the same class of error to userspace. Note, returning -EINVAL was definitely not intentional, as guest_memfd support was accompanied by a selftest to verify that attempting to create overlapping bindings fails with -EEXIST. Except the selftest was also flawed in that it unintentionally overlapped memslot GPAs, and so failed on KVM's common memslot checks before reaching guest_memfd.

2026-05-26KVM: SEV: Pin source page for write when adding CPUID data for SNP guestSean Christopherson
When populating a guest_memfd instance with the initial CPUID data for an SNP guest, acquire a writable pin on the source page as KVM will write back the "correct" CPUID information if the userspace provided data is rejected by trusted firmware. Because KVM writes to the source page using a kernel mapping, pinning for read could result in KVM clobbering read-only memory. Note, well-behaved VMMs are unlikely to be affected, as CPUID information is almost always dynamically generated by userspace, i.e. it's unlikely for the CPUID information to be backed by a read-only mapping.

2026-05-13KVM: VFIO: update coherency only if file was deletedCarlos López
When servicing a KVM_DEV_VFIO_FILE_DEL request, if a file is removed from kv->file_list, kv->noncoherent needs to be updated, in case we can revert to using coherent DMA. However, if we found no candidate to remove, there is no need to re-scan the list, so do it only if a matching file was found. To simplify the control flow, use a mutex guard so that we can return early from within the search loop if the maching file is found.

2026-05-13KVM: VFIO: deduplicate file release logicCarlos López
There are two callsites which destroy files in kv->file_list: the function servicing KVM_DEV_VFIO_FILE_DEL, and the relase of the whole KVM VFIO device. The process involves several steps, so move all those into a single function, removing duplicate code.

The struct file that this function fgets() is always passed to fput() before returning, so use automatic cleanup via __free() to avoid several jumps to the end of the function. Similarly, use a mutex guard to completely remove the need to use gotos.

2026-05-13KVM: Rename invalidate_begin to invalidate_start for consistencyTakahiro Itazuri
Rename kvm_mmu_invalidate_begin() to kvm_mmu_invalidate_start() to align with mmu_notifier_ops.invalidate_range_start(), which is the callback that ultimately drives KVM's MMU invalidation. While the naming within KVM itself is a close split between "_begin" and "_start": $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_begin" **/kvm* | wc -l 12 $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_start" **/kvm* | wc -l 21 All two of the begin() uses are in KVM: $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_begin" * | wc -l 14 And those two holdouts are bugs in invalidate_range_start()'s comment, i.e. will also be fixed sooner or later[*]. On the other hand, use of _start() is pervasive throughout the kernel: $ git grep -E "invalidate(_range)?_start" * | wc -l 117 Even if that weren't the case, conforming to the mmu_notifier_ops naming is the right call since invalidate_range_start() is the external API that KVM hooks into. No functional change intended.
