git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - writeback: - Update dirtied_when instead of dirtied_time_when when a wb switch puts an inode at the newest end of the target b_dirty list. The list was left out of order so move_expired_inodes() could stop before older inodes, and the lazytime expiration timestamp was reset - Clear the old wb's dirty-I/O state and bandwidth contribution when a batch of inode switches leaves its dirty lists empty. An empty wb stayed scheduled for periodic writeback and inflated bdi->tot_write_bandwidth - Take wb_switch_rwsem across the inode scan of cleanup_offline_cgwb(). The v7.3-rc5 fix that rotates scanned inodes let a scan racing a sync()'s queue_io() move lazytime inodes past the sync's cutoff, so sync() returned without persisting their timestamps - Don't kick writeback for an IOCB_DONTCACHE write on an inode that has no wb yet. With cgroup writeback an O_DIRECT RWF_DONTCACHE write to a block device dereferenced NULL - statmount/listmount/listns: - Refuse statmount() string requests with a buffer that isn't larger than struct statmount - Don't wrap around with a U64_MAX cursor in listmount() and listns() - Don't end listns() at an inactive namespace - Only add init_ipc_ns and init_net to the namespace trees if CONFIG_IPC_NS and CONFIG_NET_NS are enabled - iomap: - Only mark blocks uptodate in __iomap_write_begin() after reading them and let __iomap_write_end() mark the zeroed blocks uptodate once the copy from userspace succeeded - Check a chunk against max_integrity_io_size() on its own before the bio size check - Only enforce block alignment for direct I/O into holes and unwritten extents if IOMAP_DIO_FSBLOCK_ALIGNED is set - backing-file: - Check S_APPEND and S_IMMUTABLE on the backing inode. FUSE passthrough opens the backing file with vfs_open() which skips may_open(), so anyone who may open the FUSE file for writing could overwrite an append-only backing file anywhere or write to an immutable one. Open, mmap and writes now check the backing inode the way may_open() and do_mmap() do - Always call kiocb_end_write() for a queued write - Let backing files inherit FMODE_NONOTIFY from the user file. The event fds fanotify creates for permission events on a stacked filesystem raised FS_OPEN_PERM on the real path from inside the listener's read() and deadlocked listeners with marks on both layers - pidfs: - Look the task up before checking for exit information in PIDFD_GET_INFO and start over if the task no longer owns the pid once all fields have been read. A caller racing release_task() got neither PIDFD_INFO_PID nor PIDFD_INFO_EXIT or ESRCH although the exit information was available, and a caller racing a sub-thread's exec reported that thread's tid as the pid - Clear the mask bits of fields that lie beyond the struct size the caller passed. The uapi header promises that the mask names no such field but a caller passing PIDFD_INFO_SIZE_VER0 got the coredump and supported mask bits set for fields that were never written - aio: - Give the aio ring a ->read_folio that fails with EIO so a fault on a ring whose file was truncated gets SIGBUS instead of jumping to NULL - Check nr_events against the ring size before doubling it in ioctx_alloc() - splice: - Only write back an implicit file position in do_splice() when the splice helper succeeded. splice doesn't take f_pos_lock so a failed splice restored a stale snapshot over a position that a concurrent getdents() had moved. On ext2 the next readdir then trusted an offset inside a directory entry - Retry tee() when the input pipe was emptied or the output pipe filled between the prep steps and link_pipe() instead of returning 0 while the input pipe still has writers, as splice_pipe_to_pipe() does - ucount: - Take the reference that pins a ucounts level on the 0 -> 1 transition before checking the rlimit - Read the parent ucounts before dropping the rlimit count in do_dec_rlimit_put_ucounts() - inode: - Rotate inodes whose page cache couldn't be dropped to the tail of the LRU - Skip inodes that another LRU walker is isolating - setns: - Set nsset->flags before anything in prepare_nsset() can fail so the error path drops the cred prepared for CLONE_NEWUSER. A failing setns() with CLONE_NEWUSER and CLONE_NEWNS leaked it together with its user namespace - Refuse setns(CLONE_NEWNS) for a task that shares its fs_struct again when more namespaces are requested - minix: - Restore uptodate on the pinned bitmap buffers before redirtying them after a failed writeback instead of tripping the warning in mark_buffer_dirty(), as ext2 and ext4 do for their superblock buffers - Reject rmdir() of a directory with a corrupted link count with EFSCORRUPTED instead of hitting the drop_nlink() warning - userns: Keep the exec securebits and their locks when creating or joining a user namespace. set_cred_user_ns() reset all securebits to SECUREBITS_DEFAULT so anyone who may create a user namespace could shed SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE and SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE with a single unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) - fs: Honor FOP_UNSIGNED_OFFSET in sys_llseek() and in the pread64(), pwrite64(), preadv() and pwritev() wrappers - proc/kcore: Advance the vmalloc retry in read_kcore_iter() by the last vread_iter() copy instead of the running total - eventpoll: Return the error when the wakeup source for EPOLLWAKEUP can't be created in EPOLL_CTL_MOD instead of reporting success without suspend protection - coredump: Mark do_coredump() noinline_for_stack - nsfs: Check the trailing bytes of a namespace file handle in bytes instead of words - netfs: Restore the per-level and per-point decoding of the debug mask - exportfs: Release the directory file get_name() opened with __fput_sync(). From nfsd's kernel threads the deferred fputs arrived faster than delayed_fput retired them and each pinned the directory's readdir state, growing unreclaimable slab by about 90 MB per second under a parallel tree walk - fs: Call ramfs_kill_sb() for a ramfs rootfs. Since rootfs can be unmounted as of v7.0 its struct ramfs_fs_info was leaked - signal: Check the blocked mask for every entry dequeue_synchronous_signal() looks at. The scan could select a blocked synchronous signal and deliver it while blocked - super: Convert the superblock device table from an rhltable to a plain hashtable under a spinlock. This fixes a bug from v7.3 where fs_bdev_freeze() froze a btrfs filesystem through a stale member that open_ctree() had already released while the freeze was waiting for SB_BORN - fork: Leave rcu_users at zero until copy_process() can't fail anymore. bpf_task_acquire() handed out trusted references to the new task from the task_alloc LSM hook and sched_ext's ops.init_task() and a failing fork freed the task behind them - xattr: Always run cap_convert_nscap() for a security.capability write. A zero-length setxattr() skipped it and let an unprivileged caller without CAP_SETFCAP or write permission on the file plant an empty security.capability xattr that made every execve() of the binary fail with EINVAL - namei: Skip the S_ISDIR assertion in - proc: Refuse to mount on entries below /proc/<pid>/net like fd/, fdinfo/ and map_files/. proc_net_d_revalidate() always fails so the first lookup by anyone with search permission ran d_invalidate() on the dentry and detached every mount on it, locked mounts included - libfs: Hold one mount reference for all pins instead of one per pin. The pin count is what keeps the mount alive, so the per-pin reference only cost a mntget() and a mntput() through mntput_no_expire_slowpath() for every debugfs, tracefs, securityfs or configfs file that comes and goes - iov_iter: Return 0 from iov_iter_alignment() for an empty iterator of any type - watch_queue: Give info_id its own storage instead of overlaying it with rcu_head - filelock: Take an active superblock reference while waiting for a delegation break. After a lazy umount closing the delegation holder could shut down the superblock under the waiter whose final iput() then ran shmem_evict_inode() on freed state - fs: Skip the copy_file_range() write limit checks when there is no data to copy - bpf: Allow bpf_d_path() from fentry on filp_close_sync(). Since close_range() became synchronous this cycle close(), close_range() and the closes on exec and exit no longer go through filp_close(). fexit stays rejected since the file may be gone by then - fs_pin: Dequeue the wait entry unconditionally in pin_kill(). A spuriously woken waiter kept its on-stack entry queued, took that as proof that the pin was alive and used the freed acct structure when umount() of the accounting file raced acct(2) - dcache: Don't fail __d_obtain_alias() for an inode without links and aliases. The ESTALE check added this cycle broke open_by_handle_at() and nfsd file handle decoding on NFS and FUSE where i_nlink is just what the server last reported and the handle may well still be valid - selftests/ovl: Fix the mountinfo expectations of the detached layer test which has failed since it was added * tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (60 commits) fs: don't fail __d_obtain_alias() for unlinked inodes ns: don't add init_ipc_ns and init_net without namespace support aio: avoid request count overflow in ioctx_alloc() selftests/ovl: fix detached layer mountinfo expectations bpf: Allow bpf_d_path() from filp_close_sync() fs: skip copy_file_range write limits when there is no data minix: reject rmdir of a directory with a corrupted link count fs_pin: do not trust the pin after a spurious wakeup in pin_kill() ucount: read the parent ucounts before dropping the rlimit count splice: retry tee() instead of returning 0 when it races selftests/pidfd: test that fields beyond the struct size are not reported pidfs: do not report fields that do not fit into the caller's struct fs: let backing files inherit FMODE_NONOTIFY from the user file splice: avoid stale f_pos writeback on error backing-file: always end a queued write filelock: keep superblock active through delegation wait watch_queue: keep info_id separate from rcu_head iomap: only follow dio alignment requirement if specified iov_iter: fix NULL deref in iov_iter_alignment() backing-file: enforce append-only and immutable backing inodes ...
4 daysiov_iter: fix NULL deref in iov_iter_alignment()Chris Mason
Since commit 111a12b422a8 ("io_uring/rsrc: reject zero-length fixed buffer import") io_import_fixed() hands out an empty ITER_BVEC for a zero-length request. Its count is 0 and its bvec array is NULL. iov_iter_alignment() only checks the count for ITER_UBUF. For ITER_BVEC it calls iov_iter_alignment_bvec() and the do-while loop in there reads bvec->bv_len before it looks at the count. So it dereferences NULL. btrfs checks the alignment of a direct read with iov_iter_alignment() before it looks at the count and f2fs does the same. So any user that can open a file on btrfs can oops the kernel with a single zero-length IORING_OP_READ_FIXED on an O_DIRECT file descriptor. With IOSQE_ASYNC the oops happens in an io-wq worker. The dead worker stays on the worker list and when the task that submitted the request exits io-wq writes to the freed task_struct of the worker. That's just fallout from the oops though. Empty iterators with a NULL array aren't unusual. afs, tls and tipc create them as well. So leave io_uring alone and make iov_iter_alignment() return 0 for an empty iterator of any type.

Enforce the mmap flag rules and convert affected drivers, removing ambiguous tests shared by driver mappings and ordinary memory. - "support kselftest on nommu platform" (Hajime Tazaki): Add opt-in mmap and mremap tests for NOMMU systems. Teach the runner to avoid its fork-dependent timeout command and document the build and runtime requirements. - "mm/collapse: separate a collapse from its callers" (Kiryl Shutsemau): Separate huge-page collapse from caller policy. Replace khugepaged identity checks with explicit permissions, and separate scanning from collapse with the mmap_lock drop in one place. - "mm: implement and use vma_has_anon_rmap(), silence KCSAN" (Lorenzo Stoakes): Provide a common helper for testing whether a VMA has anonymous reverse mappings. Document the locking rules, annotate intentional concurrent reads for KCSAN, and convert the core MM callers. - "mm/sparse: remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT and further cleanups" (David Hildenbrand): Remove SECTION_MARKED_PRESENT in favor of the early-section flag. Simplify sparse memory initialization, section metadata handling and related PFN validity checks. - "sh: remove NUMA and SPARSEMEM support" (Mike Rapoport): Remove SuperH NUMA and SPARSEMEM support. The extra memory banks have been unusable since the NO_BOOTMEM conversion, leaving only the code and data overhead. - "mm: Unify device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths" (Muchun Song): Unify the generic device DAX and HugeTLB vmemmap population paths and shared tail-page handling. Remove the duplicate DAX machinery while retaining the powerpc radix implementation. - "kselftest: mm: fix some failure of split_huge_page_test" (Yeoreum Yun): Fix huge-page split tests racing with khugepaged recollapse. Use pagemap and page flags instead of VMA-boundary assumptions which fail when glibc has already enabled THP. - "memcg: move memcgid refcount to objcg to unpin dying memcgs" (Bingfang Guo): Let dying memcgs be freed while swapped-out shmem still holds their IDs. Move ID references to reparentable objcgs, with the necessary swap accounting and RCU lifetime changes. - "mm/truncate: fix data loss when truncating straddling large folios" (Zhang Yi): Preserve out-of-range data when truncating straddling large folios. Fix a lookup race and split-failure handling, and handle minimum folio orders for the forthcoming ext4 iomap buffered I/O path. - "mm/damon: introduce damos quota goal target metric complement flag" (SJ Park): Let DAMOS quota goals use a metric's complement, so utilization can also express free-memory goals without adding separate metrics. Add the sysfs interface, documentation and tests. - "arm64/mm: Standardize printing for pgtable entries" (Anshuman Khandual): Use the generic formatter for arm64 page-table entries, ready for future wider entries. Move the safe-PTE-update check out of the header to avoid an include cycle. - "mm: kmsan: fix iounmap metadata teardown" (Dima Koziuk): Fix KMSAN metadata leaks on iounmap and failed ioremap allocations. Free backing pages before removing their mappings, and share the teardown with partial-allocation cleanup. - "mm/damon/core: preserve quota state when constructing schemes" (Karl Mehltretter): Preserve running DAMOS quota state while validating parameter updates. Even rejected updates could reset accounting and exceed the quota window; add tests for both accepted and rejected updates. - "mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup" (Ye Liu): Fix vmalloc_dump_obj() lookups for last-page addresses and allocations spanning vmap zones. These allocations were being missed in diagnostic output. - "mm: various (urgent?) fixes" (David Hildenbrand): Fix mmap charge leaks and hugetlb use-after-free, wrong-address unmapping, stuck locks and endless faults. Also preserve reservations on failed mremap and handle stale userfaultfd bits. - "maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode" (Dimitris Charisis): Fix pointer and metadata confusion during RCU destruction of maple_range_64 nodes, avoiding double frees and invalid accesses. Add a regression test; no in-tree user currently uses this combination. - "mm: fix hugetlb NR_HUGETLB accounting on folio migration" (Hongfu Li): Fix hugetlb migration and preallocation accounting so /proc/vmstat retains the correct count and memory.numa_stat follows the folio to its new node. - "mm/damon: fix a minor bug, clean code, and add a test" (SJ Park): Fix 32-bit DAMON age overflow which made old regions look young. Share hugetlb folio acquisition code and add a regression test for the previously fixed last-region skipping bug. - "mm/damon/core: cleanup code, reduce stack usage, and add kunit" (SJ Park): Reduce kdamond stack usage and remove unused enums. Add deterministic PSI quota-goal tests which do not depend on the machine's current memory pressure. - "mm/damon: fix the temporal goal tuner's size quota conversion" (Donggeun Yoo): Bound the temporal tuner's quota conversion to prevent overflow and zero effective quotas, which could stop schemes making progress. Add boundary tests. - "Don't use GFP_DMA when calling dma_alloc_coherent" (Baoquan He): Remove redundant GFP_DMA flags from coherent DMA allocation calls. The DMA API already selects the zone from device limits and ignores the caller's flag. - "kselftest: mm: fix intermittent failure khugepaged test" (Yeoreum Yun): Propagate child-process failures in the khugepaged tests and prevent background collapse from racing their checks. This removes false passes and intermittent failures. - "MAINTAINERS: cover all hugetlb headers under HUGETLB SUBSYSTEM" (Enze Li): Cover all hugetlb headers in MAINTAINERS so get_maintainer.pl finds the right maintainers. Also label the closing hugetlb_cgroup.h include guard. Summary of the 65 singletons in this merge: The singletons include a few worthwhile performance fixes. Avoiding unnecessary reverse-map tree updates gave a reported 15.9% improvement in UnixBench's execl test on a 192-core x86 system. A reclaim retry fix stops defrag_mode from spinning under memory.low protection; a reported file-creation stress test ran 5.7 times faster, with far less memory pressure. Narrower hugetlb invalidations also spare KVM guests needless refaults: the reported Redis-in-VM P99 QPS penalty while punching holes fell from 7.09% to 1.45%. Several fixes prevent lost data or corrupted memory. Lazyfree huge-page races with mremap()/munmap() could lose data or access freed memory, and MADV_COLD could lose a concurrent write's dirty bit. Another fix prevents stale migration entries from outliving large folios. On filesystems with blocks smaller than a page, extending a file by 4 GiB or more could expose bytes written past the old EOF through mmap instead of zeroes. That is fixed, along with use-after-free races in PAGEMAP_SCAN during process exit and in memory-cgroup accounting on PREEMPT_RT kernels. Other fixes stop UFFDIO_MOVE spinning forever on pinned large folios, which could wedge other memory operations, and stop mremap() leaking commit charges until allocations fail under strict overcommit. A further fix keeps userfaultfd tracking intact on neighboring mappings. NUMA binding no longer prevents long-term pins when the chosen node has only movable memory, fixing QEMU/VFIO startup and io_uring buffer registration failures. MGLRU also gets a fix for early-boot crashes with memory cgroups disabled at boot, notably in small crash kernels. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-25-19-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (213 commits) mm: multi-gen LRU: fix NULL lruvec->pgdat deref with memcg disabled on cmdline mm/page_counter: use WRITE_ONCE() for emin/elow when parent is the root mm/memcontrol: publish null pointer before dropping css reference test_maple_tree: test maple_range_64 node in RCU mode maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode mm/vma: avoid broken uffd merge on mremap tools/testing/shared: catch a failed posix_memalign() mm/damon/core: remove unreachable damos charge_{target,addr}_from mm/shrinker: allocate shrinker_info_unit from a dedicated kmem_cache riscv: mm: exclude invalid THP PMDs from page table check mm/damon/core: filter out damos address filter-split failed region fs/proc/task_mmu: pin mm_users in do_pagemap_scan() mm/mempolicy: apply bind policies against the scoped allocation zone mm/vmscan: reclaim every zone in per-node proactive reclaim mm/mremap: correctly uncharge accountable VMAs in error path mm/mremap: populate calculated fields in vrm state correctly MAINTAINERS: add an entry for MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MEMORY MAP mm: bdi: reset min_ratio after the sysfs attributes are gone mm/page_vma_mapped: continue past nonmatching huge PMDs selftests/mm: skip hugetlb cgroup v2 tests without the needed controllers ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "ocfs2: exit recovery thread on mount error path" (Joseph Qi): Stop OCFS2 recovery before freeing failed-mount state and replay slots, closing use-after-free and double-free races. Defer suballocator reclaim to break a transaction-lock deadlock with dismount. - "ocfs2: validate suballoc slot and bit of metadata blocks" (Joseph Qi): Validate OCFS2 metadata suballocator slots, bits and directory index block locations. Reject corrupt metadata with filesystem errors instead of BUGs or out-of-bounds accesses. - "ocfs2: deal with legacy signed name hash values" (Joseph Qi): Restore OCFS2 lookups for non-ASCII names stored with legacy signed hashes. Use stored xattr hashes during bucket splits to avoid duplicate entries and spurious ENOSPC failures. - "ocfs2: stabilize dentry names in file and setattr traces" (Cen Zhang): Snapshot OCFS2 names during file and setattr tracing to prevent rename races using freed storage or mismatched names and lengths. Preserve trace formats and the locked release open-count sample. - "panic: fix panic_force_cpu= redirect races and NMI bypass" (Bradley Morgan): Fix panic_force_cpu races and NMI redirection so crash-kernel CPU selection is honored. Preserve variable arguments on failed redirects and use a static message buffer. - "fat: allocate multiple clusters in fallocate" (Matheus Alves de Almeida): Allocate FAT clusters in batches for FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE and batch FAT updates. This removes repeated single-cluster allocation overhead, particularly on synchronous mounts. - "scripts/gdb: fix radix tree lookup and stack depot diagnostic" (Ting-Han Hou): Fix GDB radix-tree lookup and its handling of XArray sibling, retry and zero entries. Also repair the stack-depot diagnostic for an out-of-range pool index. - "hung_task: Improve warning budget handling and task reporting" (Aaron Tomlin): Reset the hung-task warning budget after recovery so later hangs remain visible. Keep the configured limit intact and emit one summary per scan when detailed reports exhaust the budget. - "bootconfig: Reject unexpected data after null character and cleanups" (Masami Hiramatsu): Reject bootconfig data after an embedded null while accepting trailing padding. Validate the full input in the userspace tool, and retain internal tree sanity checks there rather than in the kernel. - "kbuild: GCOV cleanups following the prefer-atomic fix" (Konstantin Khorenko): Use the actual GCOV build flags in the prefer-atomic compiler probe. Move flag setup into scripts/Makefile.gcov and skip the probe when GCOV is disabled. - "ocfs2: xattr bucket validation fixes" (Joseph Qi): Accept valid OCFS2 xattr buckets spanning 512-byte blocks, avoiding false read-only remounts. Reject misaligned buckets and return errors instead of panicking on corrupt defrag metadata. - "ocfs2: fix metadata reservation for xattr value trees" (Joseph Qi): Reserve enough OCFS2 metadata for new and relocated xattr value trees. Fix shortfalls which could cause ENOSPC, dropped entries and leaked clusters on fragmented filesystems; remove duplicate reservations. - "Introduce arch_do_panic" (Mete Durlu): Add arch_do_panic() and move s390 and sparc handling out of generic panic code. The architecture-specific actions now follow the end-of-panic marker. - "checkpatch: userspace improvements" (Petr Vorel): Improve checkpatch's userspace detection and suppress kernel-only checks. Recognize standard inttypes macros and add explicit --userspace and --no-userspace overrides. - "ocfs2: validate dr_fs_generation of dir index root blocks" (Joseph Qi): Check OCFS2 directory index generations and leaf block numbers. Reject stale or misplaced blocks instead of using metadata left by a previously formatted filesystem. - "selftests/membarrier: Skip an unregistered memory barrier test on Musl" (Chris Gellermann): Skip the unregistered membarrier test when libc has already registered the command. Musl does this during thread creation, causing false failures in the multithreaded test. - "init: fix array boundary bugs in boot parameter parsing" (Wilson Felipe Pereira): Fix boot argument boundary cases which leave stale arguments in init's command line or panic when replacing the final environment variable. Clear the last slot and check duplicates before the limit. Summary of the 87 singletons in this merge: The OCFS2 singletons fix deadlocks between xattr updates and inline truncation, and during inode reclaim. Corrupt quota and extent metadata could also crash the kernel or corrupt memory; these paths now check the layout before using it. Other fixes close use-after-free and publication races around cluster reconfiguration, node failure, quota remount errors and shared refcount trees. New files now retain security labels from all stacked LSMs instead of silently dropping all but one. Valid xattr insertions also stop tripping FORTIFY on builds with counted arrays. Elsewhere, a lost wakeup could leave hardware-monitoring reads stuck in unkillable sleep and block further I2C traffic. That is fixed, as are kernel memory leaks in POSIX message-queue notifications and tmpfs casefold setup which could grow until memory is exhausted. A driver removal race which could crash the kernel is fixed too. The hibernation command through reboot() also stops taking the same mutex twice, avoiding a deadlock before suspension. On the boot side, bzip2 decoding now accepts valid full blocks emitted by lbzip2, fixing failures to boot those compressed kernels. Malformed bzip2 streams can no longer overflow the decode buffer, and LZ4 initrds are checked before the decoder can read past their end. FAT rejects geometry which overflows the data-area calculation on 32-bit systems, and rolls back entries when inode setup fails, preventing failed creations from reappearing after remount. The x86 XOR and RAID6 AVX paths also avoid imposing a slowdown on subsequent SSE code. * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-10-25-14-57' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (134 commits) scripts/gdb: fix stack depot out-of-bounds diagnostic scripts/gdb: fix radix tree lookup pointer handling ocfs2/cluster: remove zero-address nodes from IP tree on teardown ocfs2: snapshot the dentry name while tracing file release ocfs2: snapshot dentry names in file and setattr traces ocfs2/dlm: drain join handlers before releasing module text MAINTAINERS: update Markus's e-mail address mailmap: add entries for Andrew Jones stackdepot: stop preallocating after the final pool ocfs2: drain quorum work before removing the cluster watchdog: force console verbose when reporting lockups profiling: fix sampling step on 64-bit big-endian systems kernel/reboot: avoid potential deadlocks during suspension compat: avoid double rounding in times() ocfs2: pin owning modules for open debugfs files ocfs2/cluster: initialize heartbeat regions before publishing them selftests/proc: proc-pid-vm: fix unused variable warning on non-x86 ocfs2: pin refcount trees before dropping the lookup lock ocfs2: validate the xattr tree root of an indexed xattr block ocfs2/dlm: hold the lookup reference across convert AST enqueue ...

This commit adds a test that builds two maple_range_64 trees in RCU mode. The first tree has a root that is a full maple_range_64 node and ensures that the destruction under RCU does not misinterpret the last slot as metadata. 226 insertions produce such a root on a 64-bit build. The second tree is a height 3 tree whose root holds 15 child pointers and metadata in its last slot, so every slot is non-zero and ensures that the destruction under RCU does not descend into the metadata slot. 3166 insertions produce such a tree on a 64-bit build.

10 daysmaple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU modeDimitris Charisis
Patch series "maple_tree: fix maple_range_64 crashes in RCU mode", v3. The patch series fixes two RCU destroy path issues on maple_range_64 nodes. Both arising from the fact that a maple_range_64 node repurposes the last slot to hold metadata when the node is not full. Patch 1 addresses the issues, and patch 2 adds a test used to catch them. Currently there is no in-tree user of maple_range_64 nodes in RCU mode. All in-tree users of MT_FLAGS_USE_RCU also set MT_FLAGS_ALLOC_RANGE which makes the internal nodes maple_arange_64. Below is the minimal reproducer used during debugging: static DEFINE_MTREE(tree); static int __init maple_fix_init(void) { unsigned long i, j; for (i = 10; i < 4000; i++) { mt_init_flags(&tree, MT_FLAGS_USE_RCU); for (j = 0; j < i; j++) { mtree_insert_range(&tree, j * 10, j * 10 + 9, xa_mk_value(j), GFP_KERNEL); } mtree_destroy(&tree); rcu_barrier(); } return 0; } The splat for the first issue addressed by the first patch is shown below. mt_clear_meta() runs after the slots have been rewritten with raw pointers by mte_dead_leaves(), so it cannot recognize a valid last pointer because the type information is stripped. On my 64-bit LE machine, it clears bytes 248 and 249 of the maple_range_64 which are the two least significant bytes of the last pointer. The lowest byte is already zero, since nodes are 256-byte aligned, but zeroing byte 249 corrupts the pointer. KASAN catches it as a double-free, because that corrupted pointer happens to land on a node that was freed previously. The splat appears at 226 insertions in the reproducer. This is when the tree has a full root node on a 64-bit build. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: double-free in mt_free_walk+0x138/0x3a0 Free of addr ffff0000f3d40000 by task swapper/2/0 [...] Call trace: [...] kmem_cache_free_bulk+0x5b8/0xc18 mt_free_walk+0x138/0x3a0 rcu_core+0x5d0/0x1638 rcu_core_si+0x18/0x30 [...] Allocated by task 1218: [...] kmem_cache_alloc_from_sheaf_noprof+0xa8/0x2f0 dst_setup+0x210/0x630 mas_wr_split+0x568/0x26e0 mas_wr_store_entry+0x98c/0x1de0 mas_insert.isra.0+0x3d0/0x5d8 mtree_insert_range+0xec/0x1c8 maple_fix_init+0x94/0xff8 [maple_fix_obj] [...] Freed by task 0: [...] __kasan_slab_free+0x88/0xb8 __rcu_free_sheaf_prepare+0x94/0x360 rcu_free_sheaf+0x30/0x138 rcu_core+0x5d0/0x1638 rcu_core_si+0x18/0x30 [...] The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0000f3d40000 which belongs to the cache maple_node of size 256 The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of 256-byte region [ffff0000f3d40000, ffff0000f3d40100) [...] Memory state around the buggy address: ffff0000f3d3ff00: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ffff0000f3d3ff80: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc >ffff0000f3d40000: fa fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb ^ ffff0000f3d40080: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb ffff0000f3d40100: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ================================================================== The second issue fixed in the first patch is in the mt_free_walk(). mt_free_walk() descends by checking if the corresponding slot[offset] entry is non-zero. In a maple_range_64 node that has MAPLE_RANGE64_SLOTS-1 valid pointers to child nodes, all slots will be non-zero, since the last slot holds the metadata. Thus, mte_dead_walk() dereferences the metadata as if it were a node and hits the null-ptr-deref as shown in the splat below. After fixing the first issue, the reproducer reaches this case at 3166 insertions. The affected node is the root on a tree with height 3 and it has 15 valid child nodes on a 64-bit machine. The first fix does not introduce this bug, but it exposes it for the root node because it no longer clears the root metadata. On an unmodified kernel, the same bug exists and is reachable when such a maple_range_64 node appears below the root, where mt_clear_meta() is not called. Second KASAN splat: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dfff800000000006 KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000030-0x0000000000000037] [...] Call trace: mte_dead_walk+0x78/0x140 (P) mt_free_walk+0x1f8/0x3a0 rcu_core+0x5d0/0x1638 rcu_core_si+0x18/0x30 [..] Both splats are from an arm64 QEMU guest. The test_maple_tree and the userspace suite pass after each patch in the series. This patch (of 2): This commit fixes two issues in maple_range_64 nodes under RCU mode. A maple_range_64 node repurposes its last slot to hold metadata whenever the node is not full. Both issues arise from mishandling that last slot. More specifically the two fixes are: 1. Remove mt_clear_meta() function. mt_clear_meta() decides whether the last slot of a maple_range_64 node holds a child pointer or a struct maple_metadata with the check if (unlikely((mte_to_node(next) && mte_node_type(next)))) return; /* no metadata, could be node */ The check expects the pointer to be encoded. But the only callsite of mt_clear_meta() is mt_destroy_walk() on the RCU destroy path, and by the time it runs, mte_dead_leaves() has overwritten every slot on a full node with a raw pointer, stripping the type information. Thus, the check above never returns early for a full node as it should. It falls through and then: meta->gap = 0; meta->end = 0; zeroes two bytes of a valid child pointer. Later, mt_free_walk() dereferences the corrupted pointer. Fix this by removing mt_clear_meta() along with its only callsite. mt_clear_meta() is only called for the root of each sub-tree destroyed under RCU. Descendant nodes retain their metadata until they are freed. RCU readers may use the metadata while traversing a node, but do not use cleared metadata to detect that a node has been removed. They detect a dead node via ma_dead_node(). 2. Fix invalid memory access in mt_free_walk(). mt_free_walk() descends to the left-most unvisited "parent-of-a-leaf" node by checking the condition: if ((offset < mt_slots[type]) && rcu_dereference_protected(slots[offset], lock_is_held(&rcu_callback_map))) slots = mte_dead_walk(&enode, offset); On a maple_range_64 node with MAPLE_RANGE64_SLOTS-1 children *all* slots are non-NULL. The first MAPLE_RANGE64_SLOTS-1 hold valid pointers to child nodes, and the last slot contains metadata. The above check therefore passes for all offsets, and mte_dead_walk() dereferences the metadata as if it were a node. To trigger this, a node at least two levels above the leaves has to have exactly MAPLE_RANGE64_SLOTS-1 valid pointers to other nodes. maple_arange_64 nodes cannot hit this since they store the metadata in a separate field. Fix this by bounding the descent with slot_len which holds the number of children of a dead node.

10 daysstackdepot: stop preallocating after the final poolCaleb Kan
depot_init_pool() decides whether another pool is needed before it increments pools_num. When it registers the last allowed pool, pools_num is still one below stack_max_pools, so the existing comparison clears new_pool. With new_pool cleared, stack_depot_save_flags() can allocate another order-2 pool after a lookup miss. depot_keep_new_pool() retains its pointer in the global new_pool, so the allocation is not lost. However, pools_num has already reached stack_max_pools, and depot_init_pool() rejects every attempt to register the pool. It remains allocated and unusable until reboot. The non-NULL pointer prevents later saves from allocating more spare pools. Account for the pool being registered in the limit check so registering the final pool installs STACK_DEPOT_POISON and prevents the extra allocation.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau): Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported mTHP orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan completion deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork and remap; verify that the contents survive. Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too. - "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing" (Sarthak Sharma): Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the benchmark into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest, and move shared helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job instead of mixing timing measurements with correctness checks. Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly. - "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun Song): Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the backing metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling of device memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime requirements. - "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB" (Muchun Song): Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with section-based vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large huge pages need fewer backing pages, while keeping initialization, teardown and the various hugepage configurations straight. - "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split helpers" (Kairui Song): Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix error paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen. Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting. - "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen): Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both cases along. - "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt): Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much. - "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan): Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible, rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings. - "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park): Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes, making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be used rather than merely collected. - "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi Yan): Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users, including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb, which need explicit care. - "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes): Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble over freed tables while mappings are being torn down. - "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng): Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports. - "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual): Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a useful purpose. - "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt): Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless cacheline traffic. - "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region" (Donggeun Yoo): Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region. Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region, and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested. - "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ Park): Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before they become harder to diagnose. - "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg API" (Tal Zussman): Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler catch accidental writes. - "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park): Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there too. - "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song): Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow without changing the intended reclaim policy. - "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()" (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)): Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush() interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than relying on subtly different architecture behavior. - "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti): Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes. They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether. - "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski): Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain. - "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe): Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every descriptor can get expensive. - "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu): Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling correct while saving per-entry metadata. - "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory" (Krishna Iyer): Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall through a hole in the monitoring machinery. - "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport): Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's ownership and permission transitions more predictable. - "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky): Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface which we no longer need. - "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory Price): Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the ownership rules less obscure. - "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry Song): Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction candidates. - "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang): Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation, not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting, and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior. - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve usage" (Ye Liu): Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages. - "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ Park): Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input. - "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu): Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core, interfaces and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler code and fewer opportunities for confusion. - "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in docs" (SJ Park): Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and bring the documentation into line with the code. These changes should make the newer facilities easier to understand and maintain. - "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park): Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range of folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the desired hugepage sizes. - "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu): Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong rather than to test harness bookkeeping. - "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes Weiner): Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap space is available. There is little point paying for an expensive split when reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out. - "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu): Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the shadow entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does not quietly consume more metadata than it should. - "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu): Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore global settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it found it, particularly when a whole suite follows behind. - "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman): Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio and swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the swap paths a little more consistent. - "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price): Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce duplicated logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while making it clearer how zones are selected. - "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao): Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock once for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug kernels. - "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu): Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under Python safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and documentation. Nothing especially glamorous, but these are worth doing. - "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park): Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring probes observed. - "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim" (Ridong Chen): Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd. The protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these paths, leaving protected memory more exposed than requested. - "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park): Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and expand test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes in this batch. - "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng Wang): Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD and PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and remove the redundant flag plumbing. - "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during demotion" (Longlong Xia): Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting huge pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as one huge page turns into several smaller ones. - "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params validation" (Jason Angelov): Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe parameters. These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in ordinary monitoring tests. - "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms" (SJ Park): Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the sysfs refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and control behavior were real. - "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang): Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable lookups and work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making those frequent operations cheaper. - "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato): Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers. There is no need to maintain another local version of the same mechanism. - "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu): Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull duplicated vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional changes are intended. - "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity" (Ridong Chen): Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read and verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing unnecessary twists in the control flow. - "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury Norov): Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage where the lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks so such mistakes are harder to slip through unnoticed. - "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi): Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work and tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which were better fixed than left lying around. - "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman): Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is intended to remain the same. - "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park): Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots which have nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely used swap devices. - "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao): Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags, rather than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make tracing a good deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings. - "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao): Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU chasing an entry that cannot be used. - "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi): Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result should be more robust pageblock isolation. - "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang): Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace event needs it. - "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park): Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the implementations back into agreement. - "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio" (Hongfu Li): Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed. - "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport): Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right interface. - "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup" (Tianyi Chen): Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures caused by the test harness itself. - "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core layer" (SJ Park): Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions consistent across callers. - "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto tuning" (Asier Gutierrez): Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than forcing one fixed policy onto every workload. - "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default" (Breno Leitao): Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug builds. - "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss): Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to guess how far the operation got. - "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for damon_call()" (SJ Park): Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely. Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an invalid state. - "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park): Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the filter interfaces and tests. - "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu): Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case. - "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price): Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly. - "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman): Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for the next person to stumble over. - "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents" (Liew Rui Yan): Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it wasn't. - "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui Yan): Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what users should expect from that counter. - "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson Felipe Pereira): Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained scheduling. - "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu): Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment. Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works. - "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails" (Ackerley Tng): Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale accounting or resources behind. - "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark" (Ridong Chen): Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open measurements independent as intended. - "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory Price): Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has ordinary system-memory backing. - "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon): Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-19-21-33' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (539 commits) mm: shmem: assign a lock class to the unused huge shrinklist mm: vmscan: put rotation-missed folios at the LRU tail mm: kmemleak: scan the struct page array in MAX_SCAN_SIZE batches mm: kmemleak: move the struct page scan into a helper mm/damon: document that a zero sample_interval is accepted mm/damon: fix typos in comments mm/damon/sysfs: propagate damon_call() error in turn_damon_on mm/damon/core: skip quota score setup when the quota is full mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: test the size charged for a filter-trimmed region mm/damon/core: charge only the part of a region the filter left mm: disallow raw PFN mappings of huge/shared zeropage selftests/mm: zap whole PTE tables in the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: add memory-pressure threads to the khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: race the collapse of windows with holes selftests/mm: add khugepaged race harness selftests/mm: check that one khugepaged pass collapses one window selftests/mm: run every supported collapse order by default selftests/mm: cover a shared-source collapse write race selftests/mm: parameterize the mixed-source collapse case by source order selftests/mm: add order-parameterized khugepaged collapse cases ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "This includes a significant number of low-priority fixes - especially in the NIC drivers area - that we deferred from the last few RCs in the previous cycle, which can't be easily outlined in the synopsis below. Core & protocols: - Continue the work on removing rtnl_lock dependencies: - per-netns ARP and ND neighbour tables, with the default settings now configurable per netns (inheritance from init_net is controlled by the new net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net sysctl) - RCU-protected configuration and rtnl_lock-less fill_info() for hsr, netkit, sit, vlan and vxlan devices - per-netns device unregistration for ip tunnel and gre devices - use the netdev instance lock instead of rtnl_lock when reading speed and duplex via sysfs - batch the flushing of uncached routes at device unregistration time, relieving rtnl_lock contention on netns dismantle. - Add hardware pacing offload support, admin-controlled via a new rtnetlink attribute, with sch_fq integration (implemented in idpf). - Re-segment BIG TCP GSO packets into GSO packets fitting the egress device limits instead of plain MSS-sized segments, improving throughput for mixed BIG TCP / non-BIG TCP paths by up to 70%. - Generate RSS keys that spread flows over all the RX queues; the previous random keys could leave some queues unused. - Optimize the bridge VLAN forwarding paths: cache the port-VLAN in fdb entries and consider only VLAN members when flooding, for ~10% more Mpps in the fdb forwarding path. - A few TCP/IP performance improvements aimed at efficient cache usage and reducing contention. - Add the TCP ROCCET congestion control, a CUBIC variant aimed at avoiding bufferbloat in cellular networks. - Continue the conversion of getsockopt callbacks to sockopt_t. - Add an ethtool command to list the front-facing ports of an interface, including SFP cages and modules, using the phy_port representation. - Enable BIG TCP support for bareudp tunnels. - Remove the IPV6_ADDRFORM socket option and disallow buggy TCP state transitions (listen() + shutdown() + connect() and connect() + connect(AF_UNSPEC) + listen()). - Remove most BUG_ON()s from core packet processing, replacing them with error paths. Wireless: - Latency improvements, including lockless station get/dump and beacon updates, plus RTNL reduction and locking cleanups. - Infrastructure for non-station TX/RX with MLO. - NAN (Wi-Fi Aware) Instant Communication support and other NAN improvements. - Control frame Integrity Protocol (CIP) and protected TWT support. - Improvements for AP regulatory checks.

13 dayslib/cmdline: fix get_options() count and overflow with large rangesArmaan Sandhu
get_range() stops writing once the array is full, but get_options() still advances its index by the whole range. So "1-100" parsed into four ints reports 99 numbers, and a range like "0-2147483647" wraps the index negative and writes outside the array. Stop once a range fills the array, bail out in validation mode before the count overflows, and saturate the range length in get_range(). Add KUnit cases; without the fix "0-2147483647" panics the test kernel. Only root can supply this input, so this is a robustness fix.

2026-10-18lib/buildid: reject file offsets that do not fit in pgoff_tNickolai Zeldovich
On a 32-bit kernel, parsing the build ID of a crafted ELF file can copy far more than the intended bytes into a 64-byte on-stack buffer in __build_id_parse(), corrupting the stack of whatever context fetches the build ID. This might be reachable without privilege: perf records a build ID for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 on the no-fault path when a process mmaps its own file (build_id_parse_nofault() from perf_event_mmap()), and BPF build-id stack maps do the same. freader_get_folio() turns a 64-bit file offset into a page cache index with file_off >> PAGE_SHIFT and passes it to filemap_get_folio(). pgoff_t is unsigned long, 32-bit on a 32-bit kernel, so an ELF64 e_phoff of 2^44 + k * PAGE_SIZE truncates to index k. filemap_get_folio() returns the cached folio at index k, whose folio_pos() is far below the requested file_off. In freader_fetch() the folio does not contain file_off, so the "crossing folio boundaries" path computes part_sz = folio_off + folio_sz - file_off as a large u64 (file_off is much larger), and the following memcpy() truncates it to size_t and copies a page into the 64-byte buffer. On a 64-bit kernel the index is not truncated, the folio is not cached and the fetch returns -EFAULT, so only 32-bit kernels are affected. Reject a file offset that cannot be represented as a page cache index before the lookup, so such a file fails the build ID parse cleanly as it already does on 64-bit. Reproduced on i386 under QEMU with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: mmapping a crafted ELF (ELFCLASS64, e_phoff = 2^44) while a perf event with attr.build_id is open panics with "stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: __build_id_parse"; with this patch the parse returns -EFAULT and the mmap completes cleanly. Built for i386 with W=1, no new warnings.

2026-10-15lib/crypto: mips/chacha: Handle lengths of 2 GiB or moreVladimir Kukharenko
The MIPS ChaCha assembly, which is chacha_crypt_arch() itself, tests the remaining length with signed branches, so for 2 GiB + 64 bytes or more it takes the final partial block path too early and processes less than requested. It is only used on 32-bit kernels, where size_t is 32 bits, so declaring the length as size_t does not avoid this. No in-tree caller passes such lengths. The partial block code also keeps the remaining length as a negative value, so instead of changing the assembly, rename it to chacha_crypt_mips() and add a C chacha_crypt_arch() that passes it at most 1 GiB per call. Tested in QEMU user mode: with a length of 0xfffff045 the assembly processed about 4 KiB and advanced the block counter by 64; with the same 1 GiB loop in C, a 1.25 GiB + 4101 byte buffer matches a C reference. An LLM review of this code found the bug.

2026-10-15lib/crypto: arm/chacha: Handle lengths of 2 GiB or more in scalar codeVladimir Kukharenko
chacha_doarm() compares the remaining length with signed conditions (blt, movle/movgt, bgt), and DIV_ROUND_UP(bytes, CHACHA_BLOCK_SIZE) in chacha_crypt_arch() wraps above 0xffffffc0, so lengths of 2 GiB or more are mishandled. size_t is 32 bits on arm, so declaring the length as size_t does not avoid this. On a Cortex-A7, an in-place chacha20_crypt() of 2 GiB + 4101 bytes changed only one byte. Use unsigned conditions (blo, movls/movhi, bhi) and DIV_ROUND_UP_POW2(). This affects the scalar code, which is used when NEON isn't usable and always on Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A7. No in-tree caller passes such lengths. Tested in QEMU on a Cortex-A7 with CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G.

2026-10-15lib/crypto: chacha: Use size_t lengthEric Biggers
Upgrade the ChaCha functions from 32-bit lengths to size_t. 'size_t' is the best practice for buffer lengths, and it's what the rest of the crypto library uses. Moreover, all the 64-bit ChaCha assembly functions actually already treated the length as 64-bit, despite it being declared as 32-bit in C on arm64, ppc64, and x86_64. For arm64 and x86_64, this caused unspecified behavior due to the high 32 bits of the corresponding register having an unspecified value in those architectures' ABIs. However, in practice these bits are always zero and no issue occurred. (ppc64 was fine too, since there the ABI zero-extends 32-bit arguments.) These issues date to the original introduction of the ChaCha code. However, as noted above, they don't have any real-world impact currently; so this is an API robustness improvement only.

2026-10-15lib/crypto: poly1305: Use size_t lengthEric Biggers
Upgrade the Poly1305 functions from 32-bit lengths to size_t. 'size_t' is the best practice for buffer lengths, and it's what the rest of the crypto library uses. Moreover, all the 64-bit Poly1305 assembly functions actually already treated the length as 64-bit, despite it being declared as 32-bit in C on arm64, mips64, ppc64, and riscv64: - On arm64, this caused unspecified behavior due to the high 32 bits having an unspecified value in that architecture's ABI. However, in practice these bits are always zero and no issue occurred. (ppc64 was fine too, since there the ABI zero-extends 32-bit arguments.) - On mips64 and riscv64, this caused incorrect behavior on lengths above S32_MAX, due to the sign extension done by those architectures' ABIs. Note that no current callers pass lengths over S32_MAX. Also, the expression 'desc->buflen + nbytes >= POLY1305_BLOCK_SIZE' in poly1305_update() could overflow if nbytes was in [UINT_MAX - 14, UINT_MAX]. Note that again, no current callers pass lengths this large. These issues date to the original introduction of the Poly1305 code. However, as noted above, they don't have any real-world impact currently; so this is an API robustness improvement only.

2026-10-15vdso/gettimeofday: Avoid runtime conditional in do_hres_timens()Thomas Weißschuh
Currently the derivation of the non-namespaced clock from its namespaced sibling uses a runtime conditional. This conditional mirrors the VDSO_RAW check in __cvdso_clock_gettime_common(), in a non-obvious way. Replace the runtime conditional with unconditional pointer arithmetic, which removes the duplication of logic and also is smaller and faster. Also get rid of the weird double use of the 'vc' variable, pointing both to the array of clocks and later to one specific one. This saves 31 bytes of .text on x86_64.
