Add a generic power domain provider on top of the RISC-V Platform Management Interface (RPMI) device power service group, reached through an SBI MPXY channel. The driver enumerates the device power domains advertised by the platform microcontroller, queries their attributes and initial state, and registers them as an onecell genpd provider so that devices can reference them through the "power-domains" property.

2026-09-21ata: libata-core: Extend Samsung LPM quirk to AMD controllersNiklas Cassel
A Samsung SSD 870 QVO 8TB connected to an AMD 600 Series chipset SATA controller is reported to time out on STANDBY IMMEDIATE during system suspend with med_power_with_dipm enabled. The command completes when using max_performance instead. The existing Samsung LPM quirk only matches ATI controllers, leaving AMD controllers unaffected. Rename it to ATA_QUIRK_NO_LPM_ON_ATI_AND_AMD and extend the vendor check to AMD for the same Samsung SSD model patterns. Keep LPM behavior unchanged for other controller vendors, including Intel. Leave ATA_QUIRK_NO_NCQ_ON_ATI restricted to ATI, since the reported AMD issue concerns LPM rather than NCQ.

2026-09-21power: sequencing: Add pwrseq_is_controllable() APILoic Poulain
On some boards a power sequencing target has no host-controllable enable for its function, for instance when the enable line is not wired up to a GPIO and is hardwired to an always-on level. The pcie-m2 "uart" target is one such example: when the M.2 connector does not route the W_DISABLE2# signal to a host GPIO, its enable/disable are no-ops and the consumer cannot gate the Bluetooth function at all or exclusively. Add a generic pwrseq_is_controllable() helper. It reports whether the target's final unit provides a host-controllable dedicated power actuator. The target can implement a new optional is_controllable() callback, reporting whether that actuator is effective on this target (for example depending on GPIO presence). If the target does not provide the callback, it is assumed to be controllable. Note this only describes the target's own enable actuator. It does not imply that a power-off reaches an electrical OFF state, since a target may have multiple consumers. It also does not mean that power is uncontrolled for the target's dependencies: those may still be gated on their own. And it does not restrict consumers from calling pwrseq_power_off() either, which remains valid to drop this consumer's vote on the (possibly shared) resources and dependencies of the target.

2026-09-21gpiolib: add get_config() and gpiochip_generic_get_config()Mehmet Fide
A chip with a pin control backend sets a line's configuration through set_config() and gpiochip_generic_config(), but has no way to read one back. gpio-mmio needs that to learn the direction of a line whose direction lives in the pin controller. Add the optional get_config() callback, taking the packed parameter to query and returning its bare argument the way pinctrl_gpio_get_config() does, and gpiochip_generic_get_config() as the pin control backed implementation, the mirror of gpiochip_generic_config(): a chip without pin ranges, or a kernel without pinctrl, gets -ENOTSUPP. Nothing in gpiolib calls get_config() and there is no consumer API; it is for the chip's own use.

Some error paths of __fw_send_request() invoke the transaction callback in the caller's context. Additionally, when a split transaction times out, the callback is invoked in softIRQ context by the timer wheel. These are the only cases where the callback is not guaranteed to be invoked in process context. Use a workqueue to invoke the callback in these cases. This may introduce additional delay when a split transaction times out, but the default timeout is 2 seconds, so the additional delay should be negligible.

2026-09-21pinctrl: make the CONFIG_PINCTRL=n gpio config stubs return -ENOTSUPPMehmet Fide
With CONFIG_PINCTRL=n, pinctrl_gpio_get_config() and pinctrl_gpio_set_config() are stubs that return 0. The getter reports success without touching the config it was asked to fill, so a caller reads the packed parameter it passed in back as if it were the pin's state; the setter reports success for a configuration nobody applied. With CONFIG_PINCTRL=y the same callers already get -ENOTSUPP from gpiochip_generic_config() and gpiochip_generic_get_config() for a chip without pin ranges, and gpiolib treats that value as "the backend cannot do this" and carries on. Return it from the stubs too, so a kernel without pinctrl behaves like a chip without pin ranges instead of claiming success.

2026-09-19vlan: require the MAC header to be present in __vlan_insert_inner_tag()Xiang Mei
__vlan_insert_inner_tag() only guarantees head room via skb_cow_head(), never that mac_len bytes of MAC header are present. Its ETH_HLEN wrappers - __vlan_insert_tag() under skb_vlan_push(), and vlan_insert_tag() under validate_xmit_vlan() on the generic transmit path - therefore rewrite the first 16 bytes at skb->data: a 12-byte memmove plus two 2-byte stores at +12 and +14. No caller supplies the bound, while the pop helpers use skb_ensure_writable()/pskb_may_pull(). An IFF_TUN device has hard_header_len == 0, so packet_snd() accepts a one-byte AF_PACKET/SOCK_RAW frame. The first vlan push only sets a hwaccel tag; the next - clsact "action vlan push" or bpf_skb_vlan_push() - enters the helper with skb->len still 1. The head comes from skbuff_small_head without __GFP_ZERO, so each push drags bytes from beyond skb->tail into the frame. After three the one-byte send leaves as 13 bytes carrying 11 bytes of uninitialised slab: 0000: 5a b3 62 12 80 88 ff ff 00 b3 62 12 81 `------------------------------' only 0x5a was sent; the rest is slab, here the top 56 bits of a linear-map address Require the MAC header the helper rewrites to be present, so such a frame is dropped rather than transmitted.

2026-09-19tick/nohz: Add BLOCK_SOFTIRQ to the hotplug safe maskWang Shuaiwei
During CPU-hotplug stress testing combined with an I/O workload, the following message is observed: "NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #10!!!" On CPU offline, ksoftirqd is parked at CPUHP_AP_SMPBOOT_THREADS while the CPU still takes interrupts. A block completion raised after that point stays pending, and if the dying CPU goes idle before teardown, report_idle_softirq() sees it, keeps the tick alive and prints the error above. Such pending block completions on the outgoing CPU are drained later by blk_softirq_cpu_dead() (CPUHP_BLOCK_SOFTIRQ_DEAD), so a pending BLOCK_SOFTIRQ is harmless here. Add it to SOFTIRQ_HOTPLUG_SAFE_MASK like the other teardown-covered vectors.

2026-09-19bpf, lsm: Let BPF LSM provide xattrs at inode creationDavid Windsor
Many in-kernel LSMs (SELinux, Smack, IMA) store security labels in extended attributes. For these LSMs, atomic labeling during inode creation is critical: if the inode becomes accessible before its xattr is set, it is briefly unlabeled, which can disrupt LSMs making policy decisions based on file labels. Existing LSMs solve this by setting xattrs in the inode_init_security hook, which runs before the inode becomes accessible. BPF LSM programs currently lack this capability because the hook uses an output parameter (xattr_count) that BPF programs cannot write to, and existing kfuncs like bpf_set_dentry_xattr() require a dentry that isn't available until after the inode is accessible. Add a bpf_inode_init_xattr() kfunc that takes the hook's own xattrs and xattr_count arguments, passed through from the program's context, and claims a slot via lsm_get_xattr_slot() on the program's behalf. The xattr_count output argument is exposed to inode_init_security programs as trusted read-only memory, so programs can pass it to the kfunc but cannot modify the count themselves. Reserve BPF_LSM_INODE_INIT_XATTRS slots in bpf_lsm_blob_sizes the way every other xattr-providing LSM does, for the life of the kernel. The framework keys the collection off the reserved slot count, so a kernel built with CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y now allocates the xattr array on every inode creation, whether or not a program sits on the hook. Give the hook a strong prototype in bpf_lsm_proto.c so that its qstr and xattrs arguments are marked __nullable. Both can be NULL for some callers. Without the annotation the verifier otherwise hands the program a trusted non-NULL pointer which it dereferences. Also, keep the hook out of the sleepable set. inode_init_security runs inside the transaction creating the inode, with a journal handle held on ext4 and btrfs and the parent's i_rwsem down, which is why everything on the path allocates GFP_NOFS.

2026-09-19bpf: Support passing context output arguments to kfuncsDavid Windsor
Allows programs to pass a context argument that points to a scalar output value on to a kfunc that writes the result on the program's behalf. A ctx_arg_info entry can now describe a fixed-size PTR_TO_MEM context argument through a new mem_size field, honored in btf_ctx_access(). Loading the argument yields a PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_TRUSTED register of known size, readable but not writable by the program. A kfunc argument tagged with the new "__ctx_out" suffix accepts only that register type with a size matching the pointed-to type, so the only value a program can pass is an output argument from its own context. The pointer stays read-only to the program because the value is trusted by whoever invoked the BPF program. In the first use case, the inode_init_security LSM hook, every LSM receives a shared xattr array and an int *xattr_count that lsm_get_xattr_slot() increments; a program that could store a garbage count would push another LSM's write out of bounds, so only the kfunc itself writes through it.

2026-09-19bpf: tcp: Support parse/len/write header option hooks in bpf_tcp_opsAmery Hung
Add the TCP header option callbacks to the bpf_tcp_ops struct_ops type: parse_hdr - parse the options of an incoming skb on an established connection hdr_opt_len - reserve space in the TCP header for bpf options write_hdr_opt - write the reserved bpf options These mirror the BPF_SOCK_OPS_PARSE_HDR_OPT_CB, _HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and _WRITE_HDR_OPT_CB legacy sockops callbacks, but are exposed as struct_ops members so a program can implement them with normal function signatures and per-member helper sets. The reserved header window is shared between the legacy sockops and bpf_tcp_ops paths. tcp_{syn,synack,established}_options() first run the legacy BPF_SOCK_OPS_HDR_OPT_LEN_CB and then call hdr_opt_len, so both sources accumulate into opts->bpf_opt_len; at write time the legacy options are emitted first and bpf_tcp_ops writes after them. API design bpf_tcp_ops overloads the sock_ops header-option helpers rather than introducing a new API: bpf_reserve_hdr_opt(), bpf_store_hdr_opt() and bpf_load_hdr_opt() are exposed per-member (reserve for hdr_opt_len, store/load for write_hdr_opt, load for parse_hdr) and share the existing kernel option-walking core via _bpf_sock_ops{store,load}hdr_opt(), with the bpf_tcp_ops wrappers synthesizing a temporary bpf_sock_ops_kern from the program ctx. This keeps a port from the legacy BPF_SOCK_OPS*_HDR_OPT_CB callbacks mechanical (same helper calls) and adds no new UAPI helper/kfunc surface. An alternative considered was to drop the option helpers entirely: have hdr_opt_len reserve space purely through its return value, and introduce a dedicated TCP-header-option dynptr used for both reading and writing. That is a cleaner, more self-contained interface, but it is a larger change and does not reuse the legacy helpers, making a port from sockops less mechanical. It can be pursued as a follow-up; the helper-based interface here keeps this series focused on moving the hooks to struct_ops. The hdr_opt_len fast path in tcp_established_options() is gated by cgroup_bpf_enabled(CGROUP_TCP_SOCK_OPS). Note this is a global, per-attach-type static branch: it is enabled whenever any bpf_tcp_ops is attached, even one that does not implement hdr_opt_len or that is attached to a different cgroup. In those cases the block still runs but bpf_tcp_ops_hdr_opt_len() no-ops via the per-member check in the dispatch macro. A per-member/per-cgroup gate could be added later if the extra fast-path work proves measurable.

2026-09-19bpf: tcp: Support selected sock_ops callbacks as struct_opsAmery Hung
In LSFMMBPF 2025, I have talked about moving the BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS to a struct_ops interface [1]. The BPF_SOCK_OPS_*_CB enum interface has grown over time as new TCP callback points were added. A BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS program now commonly needs a large switch on sock_ops->op, and the shared bpf_sock_ops_kern context has become harder to extend because different callbacks have different locking, argument, skb, and helper requirements. The existing 'union { u32 args[4]; u32 replylong[4]; }' is also not reliable in passing args to bpf prog when there are multiple progs attached to a cgroup. The above has already been solved in struct_ops. Add a TCP-specific struct_ops type, bpf_tcp_ops, and support attaching it to cgroups. This allows each callback have its own func signature and allows the verifier to select kfuncs/helpers based on the specific struct_ops member being implemented. This patch wires up the following existing sock_ops callbacks: - BPF_SOCK_OPS_TIMEOUT_INIT - BPF_SOCK_OPS_RWND_INIT - BPF_SOCK_OPS_RTT_CB - BPF_SOCK_OPS_STATE_CB - BPF_SOCK_OPS_RETRANS_CB - BPF_SOCK_OPS_TCP_CONNECT_CB - BPF_SOCK_OPS_TCP_LISTEN_CB - BPF_SOCK_OPS_RTO_CB - BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB - BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB BASE_RTT is ignored as it is not particularly useful. NEEDS_ECN should be done in bpf-tcp-cc instead. The tstamp ones should be a separate struct_ops (e.g. "bpf_sock_ops") that can work in both TCP and UDP. timeout_init and rwnd_init could have a request_sock pointer. This patch tries a different API and directly passes the request_sock pointer as an arg. Two other approaches were considered before settling on having bpf_get_retval() read the dispatcher's run_ctx via saved_run_ctx. The first was to inherit the retval in the trampoline itself: add a helper in the four __bpf_prog_enter*() paths that, for struct_ops programs, copies the chained value from the caller's run_ctx (now saved_run_ctx) into the program's own run_ctx. It works but puts a per-enter program-type check on the generic trampoline fast path, taxing all fentry/fexit/lsm callers for a cgroup-struct_ops-only feature. The second was to do that same inherit only for the int-returning members via a gen_prologue that emits a hidden kfunc at the start of timeout_init/rwnd_init; this keeps the cost off the generic path and scoped to bpf_tcp_ops, but needs a kfunc + BTF_ID + prologue-emission machinery. The chosen approach avoids both: it touches neither the trampoline nor the program, since saved_run_ctx already points at the dispatcher's run_ctx that carries the value.

2026-09-19bpf: Add infrastructure to support attaching struct_ops to cgroupsMartin KaFai Lau
This patch adds necessary infrastructure to attach a struct_ops map to a cgroup. The initial need was to support migrating the legacy BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS to a struct_ops. Recently, there are other struct_ops use cases that need to attach struct_ops to a cgroup. For example, the recent BPF OOM and memcg discussion in LSFMMBPF 2026. The motivation is to create a consistent expectation for attaching struct_ops to cgroup instead of each subsystem creating its own infrastructure. This logic includes hierarchy expectation, ordering expectation, attachment API, and rcu gp. There is already an existing implementation for attaching multiple bpf progs to a cgroup. There are also tools built around it for querying. Attaching a struct_ops map (which is a group of bpf programs) could also adhere to a similar API and potentially reuse most of the existing implementation. A couple of ideas have been tried. One of them is to use mprog.c. In terms of the amount of changes, I eventually came to the same conclusion as in commit 120933984460 ("bpf: Implement mprog API on top of existing cgroup progs"). I then shifted the focus to reusing the current {update,compute,activate,purge}_effective_progs() which has the main logic that implements the mprog API. Since then, I tried to add a 'struct cgroup *cgroup' member to the existing 'struct bpf_struct_ops_link' and link_create will create a 'struct bpf_struct_ops_link' object to be stored in the pl->link. This turns out to have more changes on both cgroup.c and bpf_struct_ops.c than I like. This patch directly reuses the 'struct bpf_cgroup_link' which cgroup.c already understands. Add 'struct bpf_map *map' to 'struct bpf_cgroup_link'. In the future, as more subsystems are extended by struct_ops, we may consider to make 'struct bpf_map *map' as a primary citizen of a link like 'struct bpf_prog *prog' and directly add 'struct bpf_map *map' to the generic 'struct bpf_link'. The pl->link could be the traditional 'prog' link or the new 'map' link. The places that need to handle them differently have already been refactored into the new prog_list_*() added in the earlier patch. In those new prog_list_*(), this patch will check "pl->link && pl->link->map", learn that it is a 'map' link and handle it correctly. The bpf_prog_array also needs to handle that its item can store the traditional 'prog' or it can store a struct_ops map. The places that need to handle them differently have also been refactored into the new bpf_cgroup_array_*() added in the earlier patch. The two differences are: - different sentinel (dummy_bpf_prog in prog vs cfi_stub in struct_ops) - the array for struct_ops may need to go through different rcu gp. The bpf_cgroup_array_*() functions use the cgroup_bpf_attach_type (ie atype) to distinguish the array is storing prog or storing struct_ops map. This patch also implements a separate struct bpf_link_ops "cgroup_struct_ops_link_ops" to have a separate link_ops implementation that only handles the cgroup's struct_ops link. Questions: - Although this patch did not change it, it is not obvious to me how the replace_effective_progs() and purge_effective_progs() handle cases when there are existing BPF_F_PREORDER progs attached in the hlist. Misc notes: - CGROUP_TCP_SOCK_OPS is added to the 'enum cgroup_bpf_attach_type'. The actual implementation of the tcp_bpf_ops (a struct_ops) will be added in the next patch. - free_after_mult_rcu_gp is added to 'struct bpf_struct_ops' such that the bpf_prog_array can have a mix of sleepable and non-sleepable prog in a struct_ops. This can tell how the bpf_prog_array should be freed. - For a struct_ops that supports cgroup attachment, it does not need to implement its own reg/unreg function. reg/unreg to a cgroup is done by the common infrastructure added in this patch. - The cgroup's struct_ops link only supports BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI. This is enforced internally in cgroup_bpf_struct_ops_attach. This should be consistent with the current prog's link behavior in cgroup_bpf_link_attach. In the future, we may allow each subsystem to choose differently. - A cgroup_atype member is added to 'struct bpf_struct_ops'. When a subsystem struct_ops needs to support cgroup attachment, it needs to add a value to 'enum cgroup_bpf_attach_type' and then assign it to the newly added cgroup_atype member in the bpf_struct_ops. - During LINK_CREATE in syscall, the patch uses the same BPF_STRUCT_OPS (in attr->link_create.attach_type). The bpf_struct_ops_link_create learns the map and from the map it learns the st_ops. If the st_ops->cgroup_atype is not 0, it will create a cgroup's link. - When a subsystem registers a struct_ops that supports cgroup attachment, the struct_ops infrastructure will also ask the cgroup infrastructure to remember a few things. This is done by calling cgroup_bpf_struct_ops_register().

2026-09-19bpf: Add a few bpf_cgroup_array_* helper functionsMartin KaFai Lau
In the upcoming patch, the array can store a struct_ops map. The array could have a cfi_stubs acting as a dummy instead of the dummy_bpf_prog. The array logic will need to skip the cfi_stubs also in order to support storing struct_ops map in the array. bpf_cgroup_array_length(), bpf_cgroup_array_copy_to_user(), and bpf_cgroup_array_delete_safe_at() are added as a preparation work to allow skipping the cfi_stubs in the upcoming patch. This patch only skips the dummy_bpf_prog which is the same as the existing behavior. The current bpf_prog_array_*() callers are changed to call the new bpf_cgroup_array_*(). This is a no-op change. Unlike bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user(), bpf_cgroup_array_copy_to_user() does not need a temporary buffer. The cgroup caller already holds cgroup_mutex and dereferences the effective array with rcu_dereference_protected(), so it does not copy to userspace from an RCU read-side critical section. Details in commit 0911287ce32b. Another addition is the bpf_cgroup_array_free(). This prepares the array to have a different rcu gp for the struct_ops use case, for example, a struct_ops could have mix of sleepable ops and non-sleepable ops. In this patch, bpf_cgroup_array_free() only goes through the regular rcu gp. This is a no-op change also. bpf_prog_dummy() is also added to return the global dummy_bpf_prog. bpf_cgroup_array_dummy() is added to decide the sentinel based on atype. It now always returns bpf_prog_dummy(). In the upcoming patch, it can return a cfi_stubs if the atype belongs to a struct_ops.

2026-09-19bpf: Make struct_ops tasks_rcu grace period optionalMartin KaFai Lau
bpf_struct_ops_map_free() currently waits for both a regular RCU grace period and a tasks RCU grace period for every struct_ops map through synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_tasks). A regular RCU grace period is still required for all struct_ops maps because the struct_ops trampoline ksyms requires a rcu grace period (take a look at the list_del_rcu in __bpf_ksym_del). Add a map_free_pre_rcu() callback so the struct_ops map can remove ksyms before bpf_map_put() wait for the regular rcu grace period. The tasks RCU grace period is only needed by tcp_congestion_ops. Add free_after_tasks_rcu_gp only to struct bpf_struct_ops instead of the bpf_map. When CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=n, synchronize_rcu_tasks() is the same as synchronize_rcu(). Since all struct_ops maps now complete a regular RCU grace period before bpf_struct_ops_map_free() runs, skip the extra synchronize_rcu_tasks() call in this case. This cleanup prepares for a later patch that needs to support free_after_mult_rcu_gp.

2026-09-19bpf: Compare stack frames in regs_exact()Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
regs_exact() compares the register state up to id, followed by the ID mappings, but does not compare frameno. The PTR_TO_STACK case in regsafe() checks frameno separately, which is bypassed when exact comparison is requested. Consequently, infinite-loop detection can treat pointers to different stack frames as the same pointer and reject a finite loop. For example, initialize fp-8 to zero in the caller and to one in the callee, then pass the caller's fp-8 to the callee as r1: loop: r0 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0); if r0 != 0 goto done; r1 = r10; r1 += -8; goto loop; done: exit; The loop terminates after reading the callee's slot on its second iteration. At the loop header, however, the only relevant difference is r1's frameno, so exact comparison incorrectly reports an infinite loop. The same problem occurs when the pointer is spilled to the stack. Move frameno into the type-specific metadata union, ahead of id, so the existing prefix comparison in regs_exact() covers it. Ordinary stack pointers do not use another union member. Iterator and IRQ stack-slot states use their dedicated union views and do not need a frame lookup. This also keeps bpf_reg_state at 80 bytes. Since frameno now shares storage with other pointer metadata, it is only meaningful for PTR_TO_STACK registers. Return NULL from bpf_func() for other register types. process_iter_arg(), get_constant_map_key() and is_dynptr_reg_valid_init() look up the frame before checking the register type and would otherwise index frame[] with a byte of the register's map or BTF pointer. They dereference the frame only after their type check. Move the states_maybe_looping() boundary from frameno to precise after the field relocation. Its prefix comparison continues to cover the complete value state and now includes frameno. Continue to ignore precise. Precision marks control whether pruning may ignore scalar ranges; they do not change the represented values, and exact comparison already compares those ranges unconditionally. Marks can also change through backtracking while an ancestor state is still being explored.

2026-09-18net: dsa: microchip: Support Microchip KSZ8995XA / KS8995XALinus Walleij
This adds support for the Microchip KSZ8995XA also known as the Micrel KS8995XA switch to the KSZ driver. The KSZ8995XA shares family ID 0x95 and chip-ID nibble 0x0 with the KS8995MA, so hardware detection cannot distinguish them. The legacy "micrel,ks8995" compatible is therefore treated as KSZ8995XA. No KS8995MA users are known, and KS8995E has no documented SPI management interface. Neither MA nor E has been verified with this driver. The helper macros are named ksz_is_ksz8995xa() to make it possible to add E and MA support in the future. Wait for the self-clearing per-port PHY reset bits before continuing with switch setup. Poll each port for up to 600 ms and allow an additional millisecond for the PHYs to settle. The KSZ8995XA has eight global TOS priority registers with one bit per DSCP code point, providing two internal priority levels. The registers are ordered in the opposite direction from the other KSZ8 switches. Describe the two priorities in the chip data, then augment the DCB helpers for this. Practical testing also shows that its packet-size control bits use the same semantics as the other KSZ8 switches. The polarity in the manual appears to be wrong and makes the switch hang on big packets. The legacy KS8995 driver also matches the Micrel compatibles for KSZ8864 and KSZ8795. Add these to the KSZ SPI driver here and use an exact tristate dependency to make the drivers mutually exclusive. This transfers ownership atomically, avoiding module probe races and gaps in driver coverage between patches.

2026-09-18net: phy: factor out legacy PHY fixup support and make it always built-inHeiner Kallweit
PHY fixup registration is used from platform code in init phase only. Let's move the PHY fixup code from the modular part of phylib to the always built-in part of phylib. This allows to annotate the fixup registration as __init. No caller uses the return code of PHY fixup registration, therefore change related functions to return void. phy_needs_fixup() and phy_scan_fixups() wouldn't have to be moved to the built-in part of phylib. But doing so allows to fully factor out legacy fixup support into its own source code file, and make struct phy_fixup and phy_fixup_list strictly private to phy_fixup.c. phy_scan_fixups() is used after init phase only, then phy_fixup_list is read-only. So we don't need the mutex when accessing the list. Also when registering PHY fixups the mutex isn't needed, because fixup registration is done sequentially from platform init code. Actually there is only one platform with more than one fixup. In addition this change lays the foundation for enabling modular phylib on platforms where the fixup just sets a flag. Last but not least reflect the change in the documentation, and add a hint that fixup's are legacy functionality.

2026-09-18sched_ext: Add lazy preemption supportAndrea Righi
The fair scheduling class can request lazy rescheduling, deferring an in-kernel scheduling boundary until returning to user space or until the next scheduler tick. sched_ext only exposes immediate preemption, preventing BPF schedulers from making the same trade-off. Add SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT_LAZY and SCX_KICK_PREEMPT_LAZY. Both expire the current sched_ext task slice but request lazy rescheduling. Immediate preemption, WAIT and plain kicks take precedence when requests are combined, while a lazy enqueue to a non-local DSQ retains the head-insertion semantics of SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT. Add SCX_OPS_LAZY_RESCHED as the default slice-expiry policy for newly enabled tasks and initialize it before ops.enable(). Add scx_bpf_task_set_lazy_resched() so the owning scheduler can override the persistent policy per task from any callback while preserving sub-scheduler task ownership boundaries. Bypass continues to force immediate rescheduling. For an infinite-slice task whose tick is stopped, set the lazy reschedule request before restoring the scheduler tick dependency. This lets the dependency update's IPI serve the request on return to user space and guarantees that the next tick promotes it otherwise. Use pinned rq locking for remote kick delivery so RQCF_UPDATED reflects clock updates since lock acquisition. Accumulate kick requests independently and resolve precedence while holding the target rq lock. Reject invalid SCX_KICK_IDLE combinations and unknown kick flags, which were previously silently ignored.

2026-09-18net: ethtool: keep rtnl_lock for the ioctl self testAlexander Duyck
An offline self test that brings the interface down and back up with netif_close() / netif_open() requires rtnl_lock for both. Since the ethtool IOCTL path became rtnl-optional for ops-locked drivers, the ETHTOOL_TEST ioctl runs holding only the netdev instance lock, so on an ops-locked driver the self test now tears the device down without rtnl_lock. With lockdep this reproduces deterministically on every offline self test on such a driver; note the sole lock held is the instance lock, not rtnl: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage net/core/netpoll.c:207 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage! 1 lock held by ethtool/107: #0: (&dev->lock){+.+.}, at: dev_ethtool Call Trace: netpoll_poll_disable __dev_close_many netif_close_many netif_close fbnic_self_test dev_ethtool_locked dev_ethtool dev_ioctl sock_ioctl __x64_sys_ioctl Without lockdep the same condition trips ASSERT_RTNL() in __dev_close_many() / __dev_open(); that check only samples the global rtnl state, so it can be masked by a concurrent rtnl holder, but the device is still being reconfigured without the lock it requires. The ethtool self_test is a legacy ioctl-only command, so an ETHTOOL_TEST case is only needed on the ioctl path. Add an opt-in bit for drivers whose self test needs rtnl_lock and set it on the ops-locked drivers whose offline self test tears the interface down and up: - fbnic (ops-locked via queue_mgmt_ops): fbnic_self_test() offline path uses netif_close() / netif_open(). - bnxt (ops-locked via queue_mgmt_ops): bnxt_self_test() offline path goes through bnxt_close_nic() / bnxt_half_open_nic() / bnxt_half_close_nic() / bnxt_open_nic(), which close and reopen the device.

2026-09-18ipv4: igmp: convert ip_mc_msfget() to sockopt_tBreno Leitao
IP_MSFILTER reads its reply through ip_mc_msfget(), reached from do_ip_getsockopt() and from nowhere else. Convert it, and build the sockopt_t at the call site for as long as the caller still carries a sockptr_t pair. optlen here only has to cover the header, and the real reply size comes from the imsf_numsrc field inside it. This is nasty, but userspace relies on it, so sockopt_expand_out() preserves the same mechanism: it grows optval only for a user address, and assumes the caller left room for the size its own header asked for. The *optlen store moves out of ip_mc_msfget() and into the call site, guarded by !err so the -EINVAL, -ENODEV and -EADDRNOTAVAIL returns still leave the caller's optlen word untouched. The source list also moves from copy_to_sockptr_offset() to a sequential copy_to_iter(). IP_MSFILTER_SIZE(0) and offsetof(struct ip_msfilter, imsf_slist_flex) are both 16, so the bytes land where they did.

2026-09-18net: add sockopt_expand_out()Breno Leitao
Some getsockopt options size their reply from a count the caller left in optval rather than from optlen, and so write past the optlen the caller declared. Userspace relies on that, so the sockopt_t conversion has to keep doing it. IP_MSFILTER is the first one to convert: its reply covers the imsf_numsrc sources the caller asked for, while optlen only has to cover the fixed header. Add sockopt_expand_out() to grow opt->iter_out mid-air, so the quirk sits in one place instead of each protocol assuming it implicitly. It is a no-op unless the reply outruns optlen. Growing re-anchors the iterator at the head of optval, so it has to be called before anything is written through iter_out. Only a user buffer can be longer than optlen says. A kernel-backed optval keeps the bounded iterator, and a callback that asks to grow one gets a WARN_ON_ONCE() and -EINVAL. Nothing in tree can trip that WARN: the only kernel-backed path into do_ip_getsockopt() is sol_ip_sockopt(), which takes IP_TOS and IP_TRANSPARENT only. It is an assert for the in-kernel callers BPF and io_uring gain once the conversion is done, so they declare an optlen covering the whole buffer instead of repeating the userspace mistake. The conversion in the next patch calls sockptr_to_sockopt() from net/ipv4/, so drop its static and declare it in net.h.

2026-09-18driver core: add TAINT_FORCED_BIND for when userspace manually messes with ↵Greg Kroah-Hartman
devices and drivers The ability to add and remove devices from a driver through the sysfs "bind" and "unbind" files was created all those decades ago as a way that kernel developers can iterate faster, and provide a debugging way for users to attempt to add a new device to a driver without having to rebuild their kernel. This api over the years has been abused and recently come under a major fuzzing "attack" through tools like syzbot which decided that it would attempt to just randomly bind any driver to any type of device, causing loads of unneeded errors and pointless kernel patches to be generated by unsuspecting new developers. Handle all of this by adding a new taint flag, TAINT_FORCED_BIND, which will be set on the driver if the bind/unbind sysfs files are ever written to. This lets kernel developers "know" that a user is attempting to do something that is not normal, and as such, if the kernel breaks they get to keep the shiny pieces laying around on the floor. The flag is 'Y' which was unused, and can remembered as the user is "yeeting" the device being operated on here (thrown with force without regard for the thing being thrown). Note, the taint flag gets set _BEFORE_ the bind/unbind callback happens, as many times crashes/oops/warnings/failures happen within the callback, and the taint flag needs to be there to show what was being attempted. If it were to be set after the callback happens, the oops report would not properly reflect what foolishness was being attempted. Fuzzing tools like syzbot, that doesn't have hand-crafted rules to keep the tool from hitting bind/unbind, should be run with panic_on_taint enabled so that they fall over and don't continue on, thinking that they actually found a real issue. Userspace operations that rely on the bind/unbind files to work around the lack of will to upgrade a kernel image to a newer version with proper support for new devices, or the lack of will to submit valid device ids to driver authors, will still work properly, but now the kernel will be flagged in a way that will show that perhaps those users should reconsider their behavior and work to have the drivers properly support these devices in a "native" manner. Finally, the bind/unbind files can find real use-after-free issues with some drivers by forcing the process to happen virtually without having to rely on manual removal processes. Those real bugs should still be worked on, but by adding this taint flag, developers can more easily determine bug reports that are actually worth looking at.

2026-09-18f2fs: cache: use meta cacheChao Yu
This patch migrates F2FS meta block caching from the fake VFS inode page cache (sbi->meta_inode) to meta cache (sbi->meta_blocks). It converts CP, SIT, NAT, SSA, recovery, and GC metadata I/O paths to operate on struct f2fs_cached_block instead of folio, and removes sbi->meta_inode.

2026-09-17bpf: Assign lock identity to callback map valuesKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
A nested bpf_for_each_map_elem() callback can unlock a different element of the same map: static long inner(void *map, int *key, struct value *v, struct value **outer_value) { bpf_spin_lock(&v->lock); bpf_spin_unlock(&(*outer_value)->lock); return 0; } static long outer(void *map, int *key, struct value *v, void *ctx) { bpf_for_each_map_elem(map, inner, &v, 0); return 0; } Both callback values currently have ID zero and the same map_ptr. process_spin_lock() compares those two fields, so it accepts the unlock even though the two callbacks can receive different map elements. Assign a fresh ID to every callback map value in the for-each, timer/workqueue, and task-work constructors. Copies of one callback argument retain its ID, so locking and unlocking through that argument continues to work. Distinct callbacks also get distinct IDs for single-element arrays, including inner arrays sharing inner_map_meta. Preserve map_uid for every inner-map lookup and compare it through check_ids() during state pruning. This preserves relationships between maps, keys, and values while allowing equivalent states with different lookup IDs to match. It avoids field-specific rules for when an inner map needs an identity. Move map_uid out of the metadata union and next to the other IDs, so register comparisons can use the existing memcmp() ranges and remap the IDs separately. Clear it when resetting a register or converting a map lookup result to a socket pointer. Shrink frameno to u8, which is enough for MAX_CALL_FRAMES, to make room without growing bpf_reg_state.

2026-09-17bpf: Apply CO-RE relocations before subprogram validationKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
check_subprogs() verifies that each subprogram ends in an exit or an unconditional jump before in-kernel CO-RE relocations are applied. An unresolved relocation can then replace that terminal instruction with an invalid helper call. The resulting fall-through into another subprogram breaks the CFG invariant used by postorder and stack liveness analysis, which can write past their per-subprogram arrays. Apply CO-RE relocations immediately after preparing the program BTF, before subprogram discovery and validation. Keep func_info and line_info validation after subprogram discovery because those records depend on the complete subprogram layout. Reject an ldimm64 first slot at the end of the instruction stream before CO-RE can inspect its missing second slot. check_subprogs() previously rejected this form before relocation processing because it is not a valid subprogram terminator. Moving CO-RE ahead of check_subprogs() removes that implicit protection, so perform an explicit check before applying relocations. Include core_relo_cnt when deciding whether to prepare program BTF. A load that supplied only CO-RE relocation metadata previously skipped both BTF setup and relocation processing. Fixes: fbd94c7afcf9 ("bpf: Pass a set of bpf_core_relo-s to prog_load command.")

2026-09-17device property: Introduce fwnode_graph_for_each_endpoint_scoped()Frank Li
Similar to recently propose for_each_child_of_node_scoped() this new version of the loop macro instantiates a new local struct fwnode_handle * that uses the __free(fwnode_handle) auto cleanup handling so that if a reference to a node is held on early exit from the loop the reference will be released. If the loop runs to completion, the child pointer will be NULL and no action will be taken. The reason this is useful is that it removes the need for fwnode_handle_put() on early loop exits. If there is a need to retain the reference, then return_ptr(child) or no_free_ptr(child) may be used to safely disable the auto cleanup.

2026-09-17PM: core: Document struct dev_pm_info with kerneldocBrian Norris
Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst includes several descriptions of dev_pm_info fields, but many of them are wrong these days, as the types or behaviors have changed. This is a prime reason for keeping docs closer to the code where possible. Adapt and rewrite some of these descriptions, and add them to include/linux/pm.h directly. Then pull these docs into the generated HTML. Tested with `make htmldocs`.

2026-09-17PM: runtime: kerneldoc wording improvementsBrian Norris
In preparation for removing duplicate documentation from Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst, borrow some of the useful wording from runtime_pm.rst, and update other language for clarity, ease of reading, and completeness. Other guiding principles in this change: * Try to highlight "core", as in, "functions that are not for driver use but are exported because the real entrypoints are inline functions" * Rework pm_runtime_barrier() docs significantly. More below. * Include some clarifying cross-references and recommendations for pm_runtime_put_sync{,_suspend,_autosuspend}() * Attempt to deemphasize some of the implementation details (e.g., "asynchronous" instead of "queue") * Try for more clear user-facing language. For example, "set up autosuspend" isn't quite clear whether we're configuring autosuspend, or if we're initiating an attempt to autosuspend (i.e., setting a timer). pm_runtime_barrier(): currently, we speak a lot about implementation details and sequences of events, but obscure the key point that it treats "pending resume" and "pending suspend" very differently -- I try to improve that.
