2026-08-20selftests/bpf: libarena: Optimize and make public arena_memsetEmil Tsalapatis
Clang currently provides no __builtin_{memset, memcpy, memcmp} for its BPF backend. This is especially an issue for arena code that is more likely to do these operations on buffers with user-provided bounds. One example is the arena ASAN implementation that uses memset to update the shadow bitmap. Arena ASAN actually already has a naive implementation of this operation. Another user would be a calloc() call that has to zero the memory it returns. Introduce a more optimized version of the memset() operation for arena memory and make it public to all libarena users. The operation uses word-sized assignments to speed up the function for larger sizes. We expose the function through common.h to allow for inlining from the callers.

2026-08-20selftests/bpf: libarena: Add a benchmark for malloc()/calloc()Emil Tsalapatis
Add a benchmark for measuring the performance of the malloc()/calloc() arena allocator calls. This is useful as a basic allocator performance check that we can easily expand later. As with the regular arena allocator, focus on sub-page allocations that cannot be satisfied efficiently with the BPF arena page allocation code.

2026-08-20selftests/bpf: libarena: Add calloc() callEmil Tsalapatis
The arena memory allocator currently does not provide the option to zero-initialize the allocated memory. Provide a calloc() operation that calls memset() on the returned memory. Reuse naive memset implementation already present in the arena ASAN code for now. Subsequent patches will optimize the function.

2026-08-20selftests/bpf: libarena: Disable IRQs during allocationEmil Tsalapatis
The libarena buddy allocator currently uses arena_spin_lock/unlock to protect its internal data structures in its critical section. These locks disable preemption, but not IRQs. This in turns can cause ABBA deadlocks when an allocation/free operation gets an IRQ while in the critical section, and can only resume after another operation that in turn blocks on the buddy lock. We have concretely seen this with sched_ext schedulers: a) Task 1 on CPU A attempts an allocation during initialization, which is done without holding an rq lock. The task takes an IRQ in the middle of the allocation. b) Task 2 on CPU B exits. It attempts to take the buddy allocator lock during its sched-ext state teardown, and blocks on the spinlock. It does so while holding CPU B's rq lock. c) The scheduler run on CPU A and attempts to move tasks from CPU B's rq to CPU A's rq before resuming running Task 1. This requires B's rq lock, which requires Task 2 to take the buddy allocator lock first. Fix this by disabling IRQs when taking the buddy lock. We use the already existing arena_spin_[lock_irqsave, unlock_irqrestore] calls for this.

2026-08-20selftests/bpf: libarena: Inline nonatomic bitmap operationsEmil Tsalapatis
The libarena code currently defines the non-atomic bitmap set/get operations as __weak functions, in accordance with the libarena coding style. This, however, is significant overhead to call functions that span single-digit instructions. Make an exception and expose the getters/setters as static inline functions in the header. Since the function body is now inlined into the caller, mark reads/writes with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to prevent compiler optimizations from breaking code that locklessly polls the bitmap.

2026-08-20selftests/bpf: libarena: Normalize SPDX headers across filesEmil Tsalapatis
Normalize SPDX in libarena for missing/inconsistent headers. There are currently three files missing headers and two of them (both originally authored by Kartikeya, CC'ed below) that are GPLv2 only. This patch ensures all files in libarena have a dual GPLv2/BSD-2-Clause license in the example of other non- kernel BPF codebases, e.g., libbpf. Add the customary BPF selftests/ SPDX tag to the bpf_may_goto.h file that holds the may_goto and can_loop macros for BPF code. The original authors of the code from when it was still in bpf_experimental.h are CC'ed below. Also add the missing SPDX license to the libarena bitmap.h header. For bpf_arena_spinlock.h and bpf_atomic.h, move the license to Dual GPLv2/BSD-2-Clause. This ensures all components have the same license, with the same rationale as libbpf in tools/lib.

2026-08-20selftests/bpf: Add reg-invariants test for speculative pointer arithmeticJiayuan Chen
An unprivileged socket filter does variable pointer arithmetic on a PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE whose offset collapses to a constant. The Spectre-v1 speculative path used to snapshot the pointer with a const offset and an unbounded r32, which tripped reg_bounds_sanity_check() on the following register move. Mark the test __success_unpriv (the speculative path only runs unprivileged) and flag it BPF_F_TEST_REG_INVARIANTS so the invariant violation becomes a hard load failure. The unprivileged run fails without the verifier fix and passes with it: verifier_bounds/spec_ptr_alu_const_offset @unpriv:FAIL # without fix verifier_bounds/spec_ptr_alu_const_offset @unpriv:OK # with fix Signed-off-by: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> Tested-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260819125840.286434-2-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi <memxor@gmail.com>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo: "Most of this cycle completes the enqueue-path support for hierarchical sub-scheduling, which makes sub-scheduler support feature complete: a root BPF scheduler can now hand a cgroup subtree over to a nested sub-scheduler together with revocable CPU grants, and the sub-scheduler owns all scheduling decisions for its tasks on those CPUs. Development volume was high and a number of changes plugging holes in the new support landed late in the cycle. Also included are core scheduling fixes that were completed too late for the v7.2 release and are routed through this pull request. Sub-scheduler CPU delegation: - Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities (enqueueing, preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children, enforced on every path a scheduler can reach a CPU through. Previously only dispatching could be delegated; this lets sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs. - Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the CPUs the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected the whole scheduler. The kernel now runs such tasks directly on a small bandwidth budget, turning a scheduler-killing failure into bounded degradation. - Cgroup integration: tasks migrating across a sub-scheduler boundary weren't re-homed to the new owner, causing wrong-scheduler scheduling and a use-after-free. Sub-schedulers now take over their cgroup subtree and receive its cgroup callbacks. - Arena objects now cross the kernel/BPF boundary as typed pointer arguments, translated transparently by the BPF tree's new arena argument support, replacing untyped arguments with manual translation. - scx_qmap now demonstrates full hierarchical sub-scheduling. Other fixes and updates: - Robustness improvements: the abort path is now NMI-safe, fixing deadlocks when errors are raised from NMI context and making hardlockup recovery direct. Reenqueue loops that could monopolize a CPU ahead of the watchdog now eject the offending scheduler, and stalls are blamed on the scheduler actually responsible. - Hardening: BPF-writable arena memory is validated before kernel use, and task slice and vtime writes got explicit synchronization rules, closing corruption vectors open to buggy or malicious schedulers. - Core scheduling: sched_ext dispatching can drop the rq lock inside the core-wide pick, which let interleaving selections corrupt each other's state and hard-hang the machine. The selection now restarts when the lock was released. The task ordering callback was also invoked with its arguments swapped, and the default ordering is updated to work across sub-scheduler boundaries. The fixes are marked for stable. - Other fixes headed for stable: a task init leak on fork failure during enable, tooling compat macros that silently failed to detect newer kernels, and a crash on reenqueueing against a destroyed dispatch queue. - Tooling: scx_pair moves off deprecated callbacks, and the deprecated scx_bpf_cpu_rq() kfunc is removed" * tag 'sched_ext-for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext: (144 commits) sched_ext: Drop the dead SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC test in dequeue_task_scx() sched_ext: Make core-sched task ordering hierarchy-aware sched_ext: Use runnable_at for the default core-sched task ordering sched_ext: Fix inverted ops.core_sched_before() invocation sched_ext: Move the config-off sub-cap kfunc stubs into sub.c sched_ext: Rename balance-era identifiers to dispatch terms sched_ext: Drop the stale keep_prev fixup in dispatch_pick() sched_ext: Keep kick_sync waiting on the rq's own CPU sched_ext: Make SCHED_CLASS_EXT select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR sched_ext/scx_flatcg: Fix cvtime true-up on slice expiry sched_ext: Don't BUG_ON a destroyed DSQ in process_deferred_reenq_users sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local___v2 compat detection sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_events() read the calling scheduler's counters sched_ext: Drop unlocked scx_rq_clock_invalidate() from scx_root_disable() selftests/sched_ext: Fix flaky ddsp failure tests on busy systems selftests/sched_ext: Make numa idle validation race-free sched_ext: Fix scx_bpf_dsq_reenq___compat kfunc extern prototype sched_ext/scx_flatcg: expire cached hweights on weight changes sched_ext: Fix exit_task leak on fork failure during enable sched_ext: fix stale references in doc comments ...
2026-08-20selftests/cgroup: Fix cg_run_in_subcgroups ignoring arg parameterHongfu Li
cg_run_in_subcgroups() discards its arg and always passes NULL to cg_run(), turning the (void *)100 from test_kmem_dead_cgroups() into NULL so no allocation occurs.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us. It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a bit. Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications. We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only do so much. The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork, automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from people we trust...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Expose btf_ids to trace events In order to allow BPF programs to attach to system call trace events (which are actually pseudo trace events built on top of raw_syscall events), expose the BTF ID of the events. This will allow BPF programs better precision in attaching to events. - Use "u64" to assign to hist_field->type Instead of using kstrdup("u64", GFP_KERNEL) to assign the hist_field->type, just point it to "u64" instead. The hist_field->type is freed via kfree_const(). - Replace kmalloc()/strcpy() with kstrdup() for trace_printk Instead of having two calls to copy the module format string, just use kstrdup(). - Use __free() in trace event histograms and triggres where possible - Use seq_buf in trace event code instead of strcat() Instead of calculating the size of the buffer to use and filling it with strcat(), use the seq_buf infrastructure that takes care of making sure not to overflow the string size. - Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity The preempt_delay_test module can take an invalid CPU affinity mask and create confusing output. Simply have the module reject invalid affinity masks. - Prevent division by zero in ftrace_ops sample module code If the ftrace_ops sample module code receives the module parameter nr_function_calls set to zero, it can cause a division by zero error. - Warn when an event dereferences a parameter in TP_printk() On boot up and module load, the trace event TP_printk() is scanned for possible bugs. As the TP_printk() code is executed when the user reads the "trace" file and processes the data written when the trace_event executed, the data it reads can be literally days old. The scan currently checks for dereferencing printk formats like "%pI6". But it does not check if the parameters themselves have a dereference like: TP_printk("offset %08x: value %08x", (u32)(__entry->addr - __entry->edma->membase), __entry->value) __entry represents the pointer to the event on the ring buffer. The __entry->edma->membase is dereferencing a pointer on the ring buffer to find membase, but the __entry->edma may no longer be a valid pointer. Warn on this case too. - Replace some strcpy() with strscpy() - Clean up mmiotrace events to use assign_type() macro The assign_type() macro makes sure the event type is indeed the type that is being parsed. The mmiotrace trace was written before that macro was created so it just simply typecasted the pointer. Replace the typecasting with the macro. - Have the ENUM processing to numbers only process what is added The code that converts ENUMs to their numbers in the trace events scanned all events to do the processing. This was true when a module was loaded too. That is, instead of processing just the events for the module, it processed *all* events. Even the builtin ones that were processed at boot up. Add a check for the event->module matching mod if it is a module before processing it. * tag 'trace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (21 commits) tracing: Have trace_event_update_all() only handle module that is loading tracing: Cleanup event_enable_trigger_parse() by using __free() tracing: Report every TP_printk double dereference tracing/mmiotrace: Use trace_assign_type() in mmio_print_mark() tracing: Make per-template BTF id lists file-local tracing: Use seq_buf for string concatenation tracing: Use strscpy() instead of strcpy() in trace_sched_switch tracing: Warn when an event dereferences a pointer in TP_printk() samples/ftrace: Prevent division by zero when nr_function_calls is zero tracing: Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity fgraph: Use trace_seq_putc() in print_graph_return() tracing/user_events: Replace a seq_printf() call by seq_puts() in user_seq_show() tracing/user_events: Use seq_putc() in two functions tracing: Bound histogram expression strings with seq_buf tracing: Return ERR_PTR() from expr_str() tracing: Use __free() for expr_str() buffer kernel/trace/trace_printk: Use kstrdup() instead of kmalloc() and strcpy() tracing: Point constant hist field type to string literal selftests/bpf: Add test for tracepoint btf_ids tracefs file tracing: Expose tracepoint BTF ids via tracefs ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was first introduced back in 2008. It was to be a "kill switch" if something was to go wrong. It was also used as a way to turn off function tracing for the latency tracers that would have it on by default. But in 2013 (Linux 3.10) the option "function-trace" was introduced to disable function tracing for the latency tracers as the "ftrace_enabled" file was considered too big of a hammer and caused too many side effects. When live kernel patching came along, disabling ftrace via the ftrace_enabled file would put the system into an unstable state if a live kernel patch was installed. This created the need to mark some function hooks as "PERMANENT". Now there's a need for BPF usage marked as PERMANENT for the same reasons. The file "ftrace_enabled" usage is no longer viable. It doesn't do what it says it does and there is no reason to use it. Make writing '0' to it a nop and print a message saying its usage is deprecated. The return value of writing '0' is -EOPNOTSUPP so that user space will error on that write (hopefully to inform any developer that it no longer works). Eventually the file should be removed completely, but for now just making it not do anything is the path forward to that. - Update the livepatch tests to handle ftrace_enabled being disabled Because in the past, livepatch was broken by ftrace_enabled being turned off, there's a test case that checks to make sure it still doesn't break. But having the write of '0' return an error caused that test to break. Updated the test to handle the new change. * tag 'ftrace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: selftests/livepatch: update test-ftrace.sh for deprecated ftrace_enabled ftrace: deprecate disabling via ftrace_enabled sysctl

The DOT parser was fragile and prone to failure on minor format variations. Both LTL and DOT parsers have been rewritten to use the Lark parsing library. - Simplify Hybrid Automata clock variables The clock variables in hybrid automata monitors now use a single representation of the elapsed time since the clock was reset, rather than converting between invariant and guard representations. This allows simpler code generation for the newly refactored parser. - Generate cleanup hook for per-obj monitor The code generation scripts now adds a cleanup function to per-obj monitors for the user to wire to the appropriate event (e.g. sched_process_exit for tasks). - Reduce read_lock scope during per-task cleanup Take the tasklist_lock only when necessary, that is when iterating over for_each_process_thread(). - Simplify task monitor slot management Only rely on the slot array for per-task slot management to avoid inconsistency with the unused counter. - Improve rvgen code robustness and templates Use pathlib in rvgen and improve kernel path discovery. Also improve consistency across templates when generating code (e.g. author placeholder and monitor struct name). - Update rtapp sleep monitor Simplify the sleep monitor by excluding kernel threads and updating the nanosleep check to focus only on CLOCK_REALTIME. Also switch to use the sched_exit tracepoint to run in the context of the offending (wakee) task. - Add wakeup monitor Add the new rtapp/wakeup monitor to detect when lower-priority tasks wake up higher-priority ones, complementing the existing sleep monitor by running in the waker context and capturing its stack trace. - Fix tools/rv exit status on failure Ensure the rv tool returns a failure exit code when a monitor fails to start because it was already running. - Add automated selftests for tools/rv and rvgen Introduced automated bash selftests to validate rv monitor listing and execution under different configurations. Added tests for the rvgen code generator, validating generated files against expected output (golden). Tests are reachable via make check. - Add KUnit test coverage for verification monitors Added comprehensive KUnit tests to validate the functionality of deterministic, hybrid, and LTL monitors by emulating event sequences and timing in a mock environment without affecting the running kernel while expecting mock reactions to fire. Ensure real RV monitors cannot run during KUnit tests to avoid state corruption. - Mock current in rv monitors Mock the call to current in rv monitors when the KUnit tests are built to allow them to run the test on dummy tasks. No overhead is expected when KUnit tests aren't running. - Introduce rvgen kunit subcommand Added a new 'kunit' subcommand to rvgen to automatically patch an already generated monitor with KUnit integration templates by parsing its event handlers and creating the required mock structures and initializations. - Refine kernel verification selftests Added new selftests for the deadline and stall monitors and rearranged the existing wwnr_printk test to resolve flakiness. Additionally, fixed an issue in the selftests framework where negative assertion failures were not correctly propagated due to shell rules. - Fix 32-bit build of nomiss KUnit test A previous commit introduced a division between an u64 and a constant value and that doesn't build on 32-bit systems. Use div_u64() instead. - Document changes in sleep monitor The sleep monitor introduced some changes in the past like allowing epoll_wait() as a valid sleep and a task going to runnable before scheduling as a valid wakeup.

2026-08-19selftests/cgroup: set the test plan after the setup checksHemanth Selam
The cgroup tests announce their plan before checking whether cgroup v2 is available, so on a host without it they promise a number of results and then skip out after the first one: TAP version 13 1..3 ok 1 # SKIP cgroup v2 isn't mounted # Planned tests != run tests (3 != 1) # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0 ksft_exit_skip() can only emit a well formed "1..0 # SKIP" line while no plan has been printed, as the comment above it in kselftest.h points out. Move ksft_set_plan() below the setup checks that can skip, so that a skipped run reports: TAP version 13 1..0 # SKIP cgroup v2 isn't mounted Several of the tests skip more than once while setting up, for a missing or unwritable controller as well, so the plan goes after the last of them. test_core joins its two setup paths at the post_v2_setup label and sets the plan there. Reporting each planned test as skipped instead would keep the plan where it is, but the setup failures here mean the whole test cannot run rather than its individual cases being skipped, which is what "1..0 # SKIP" is for.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error. For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that the discrepancy is smoothed away over time - Make tick length calculations correct in NTP. The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH. While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM deviation. Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via adjtimex(). - The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to achieve the desired rate. - Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and adjusting both accordingly. - A set of updates and improvements for the selftests - The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place * tag 'timers-core-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (58 commits) selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Check all calls to clock_nanosleep() and clock_gettime() selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC define for unreasonable latency selftests: timers: nanosleep: Report each test separately selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly handle timer_delete() failure selftests: timers: nanosleep: Move all single clock tests out of the loop in main() selftests: timers: nanosleep: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nanosleep: Drop output alignment selftests: timers: Use clock_name() and constants from clock-helpers.h selftests: Add clock-helpers.h timer_list: Use ktime_t over nanoseconds timer_list: Use standard 'long long' format placeholders hrtimer: Add a lockdep assertion to hrtimer_update_base() timekeeping: Use u32 for clock_was_set_seq timekeeping: Rename clockid_aux_valid() to clockid_is_aux_clock() hrtimer: Account nr_retries on recovered interrupt retries timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace nohz: Replace dead select with choice default ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull generic entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Make syscall user dispatching configurable Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow them to disable the feature completely. - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the architectures using it. Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the non-instrumentable constraints of that code. Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using architecture over. - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive. Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch, ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall number through these mechanisms. This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both the syscall number and the return value.

2026-08-17selftests: mptcp: diag: fix stack buffer overflow in get_subflow_info()Jiangshan Yi
get_subflow_info() parses the subflow address string with: char saddr[64], daddr[64]; ret = sscanf(subflow_addrs, "%[^:]:%d %[^:]:%d", saddr, &sport, daddr, &dport); The subflow_addrs buffer holds up to 1024 bytes and is taken directly from the command line ("-c" argument). The "%[^:]" conversions have no maximum field width, so if the address substring before the ':' exceeds 63 bytes, sscanf() writes past the end of the 64-byte saddr/daddr stack buffers. This overflows the stack, corrupting adjacent stack data such as the saved return address, and can crash the tool or lead to out-of-bounds writes controlled by user-supplied input. Bound both string conversions to the destination buffer size by adding an explicit maximum field width of 63 (leaving room for the terminating NUL), so at most 63 bytes are written into each 64-byte buffer: ret = sscanf(subflow_addrs, "%63[^:]:%d %63[^:]:%d", saddr, &sport, daddr, &dport); The subflow address can be passed in argument, so fixing this is helpful when the tool is manually used.

2026-08-17selftests: mptcp: pcap: drop most of the payloadMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)
Limit the size of each captured packet to 108B (IPv4 only) or 128B (a mix of v4 and v6): this should drop most of the payload that is generally not needed when debugging an issue. 8 bytes are left in this payload, to be able to inspect the beginning, just in case. Please also note that generally, this payload is usually mostly filled with 0, except at the end. This reduces the .pcap sizes, and reduce IO usage, which helps debugging issues.

To be able to easily find out which pcap was produced by which test, the selftest name is now added to the pcap file, similar to the other tests. While at it, print the prefix name to be able to find which capture files have been produced by which test after several runs. This prefix was not printed anywhere before.

Even if the pcap prefix is printed in the test, it is clearer if this prefix also include the test name: mptcp_connect. With this, it is easily possible to find out which pcap was produced by which test, and easily delete the right ones.

2026-08-17selftests: mptcp: check per-event MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP countersShardul Bankar
Add named env-var expectations for each per-event MPTCP_RST_EMPTCP counter, matching the pattern used by the existing JOIN/RST checks. Each defaults to 0 and is checked silently on success; a mismatch prints a check line and fails the test. Counters absent from the running kernel are skipped silently so older kernels do not false-fail. The JOIN-related counters (MPJoinSynAckNoMPJoin, MPJoinAckNoMPJoin, MPJoinAckNoCtx, MPJoinNotEstablished, MPJoinNoIdFound) are checked in chk_join_nr() on fixed namespaces; the two remaining reset counters (MD5SigReset, DssReset) stay in chk_rst_nr(). Add a test at the end of signal_address_tests that triggers MPJoinSynAckNoMPJoin: ns1 signals an address that is already bound on the client (ns2), where a TCP-only mptcp_connect listener is started. The client's MP_JOIN routes locally to the TCP listener, which responds with a plain SYN/ACK without the MP_JOIN option, and the new counter increments on the client side. Other per-event counters (MD5SigReset, MPJoinAckNoMPJoin, MPJoinAckNoCtx, DssReset, MPJoinNotEstablished, MPJoinNoIdFound) are not currently reachable from mptcp_join.sh; the env-var hooks are in place for future tests to set expectations explicitly.

Conflict in kernel/sched/ext/ext.c between: c384ab8a0b13 ("sched_ext: Move the config-off sub-cap kfunc stubs into sub.c") and: a8dc810968af ("sched_ext: Convert sub-cap kfuncs to __arena cmask arguments") which updated the stubs in their old ext.c location. Resolved by keeping ext.c without the stubs and applying the prototype conversion to the relocated stubs in sub.c. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Add an efficient table to lookup all superblocks using a given block device. - A bunch of pre-existing fixes fell out of this work: A block-device freeze racing a btrfs device change could leave the whole filesystem stuck frozen. A bdev_freeze() issued by "dmsetup suspend" or an LVM snapshot resolves that holder to freeze the filesystem. and bdev_thaw() resolves it again to thaw. A freeze landing while btrfs is adding, removing or replacing a device freezes the filesystem. The membership change then drops that link. So the matching thaw could no longer find the superblock.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This lets the merged overlayfs mount itself be idmapped through mount_setattr(MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP), in addition to the already supported idmapped lower and upper layers. The same overlay tree can then be exposed under a different ownership view. Overlayfs already normalizes every underlying id through the relevant layer idmap when ovl_copyattr() copies attributes into the overlay inode. So the overlay inode's i_uid and i_gid are overlay-final ids. The overlay mount idmap composes on top of that and is applied at the overlay-inode boundary only while the underlying layers keep being accessed with the mounter's credentials through their own (possibly idmapped) mounts. So this only changes how the caller sees the overlay inode and never widens the mounter's access to the layers. The second, mounter-credential check in ovl_permission() against the real inode stays on the layer idmap. Most paths need no change because the VFS applies the mount idmap to the overlay inode before overlayfs runs or after it returns at the syscall boundary. Overlayfs only has to change where it bypasses the generic path.
