Pull vfs xattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This reworks the simple_xattr infrastructure and adds support for
user.* extended attributes on sockets.
The simple_xattr subsystem currently uses an rbtree protected by a
reader-writer spinlock. This series replaces the rbtree with an
rhashtable giving O(1) average-case lookup with RCU-based lockless
reads. This sped up concurrent access patterns on tmpfs quite a bit
and it's an overall easy enough conversion to do and gets rid or
rwlock_t.
The conversion is done incrementally: a new rhashtable path is added
alongside the existing rbtree, consumers are migrated one at a time
(shmem, kernfs, pidfs), and then the rbtree code is removed. All three
consumers switch from embedded structs to pointer-based lazy
allocation so the rhashtable overhead is only paid for inodes that
actually use xattrs.
With this infrastructure in place the series adds support for user.*
xattrs on sockets. Path-based AF_UNIX sockets inherit xattr support
from the underlying filesystem (e.g. tmpfs) but sockets in sockfs -
that is everything created via socket() including abstract namespace
AF_UNIX sockets - had no xattr support at all.
The xattr_permission() checks are reworked to allow user.* xattrs on
S_IFSOCK inodes. Sockfs sockets get per-inode limits of 128 xattrs and
128KB total value size matching the limits already in use for kernfs.
The practical motivation comes from several directions. systemd and
GNOME are expanding their use of Varlink as an IPC mechanism.
For D-Bus there are tools like dbus-monitor that can observe IPC
traffic across the system but this only works because D-Bus has a
central broker.
For Varlink there is no broker and there is currently no way to
identify which sockets speak Varlink. With user.* xattrs on sockets a
service can label its socket with the IPC protocol it speaks (e.g.,
user.varlink=1) and an eBPF program can then selectively capture
traffic on those sockets. Enumerating bound sockets via netlink
combined with these xattr labels gives a way to discover all Varlink
IPC entrypoints for debugging and introspection.
Similarly, systemd-journald wants to use xattrs on the /dev/log socket
for protocol negotiation to indicate whether RFC 5424 structured
syslog is supported or whether only the legacy RFC 3164 format should
be used.
In containers these labels are particularly useful as high-privilege
or more complicated solutions for socket identification aren't
available.
The series comes with comprehensive selftests covering path-based
AF_UNIX sockets, sockfs socket operations, per-inode limit
enforcement, and xattr operations across multiple address families
(AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, AF_PACKET)"

Add a test suite for the CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS flag exercising the empty
mount namespace functionality through the clone3() syscall.
The clone3() code path is distinct from the unshare() path already
tested in empty_mntns_test.c. With clone3(), CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS
(0x400000000ULL) is a 64-bit flag that implies CLONE_NEWNS. The
implication happens in kernel_clone() before copy_process(), unlike
unshare() where it goes through UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS to
CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS conversion in unshare_nsproxy_namespaces().
The tests cover:
- basic functionality: clone3 child gets empty mount namespace with
exactly one mount, root and cwd point to the same mount
- CLONE_NEWNS implication: CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS works without explicit
CLONE_NEWNS, also works with redundant CLONE_NEWNS
- flag interactions: combines correctly with CLONE_NEWUSER,
CLONE_NEWPID, CLONE_NEWUTS, CLONE_NEWIPC, CLONE_PIDFD
- mutual exclusion: CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS | CLONE_FS returns EINVAL
because the implied CLONE_NEWNS conflicts with CLONE_FS
- error paths: EPERM without capabilities, unknown 64-bit flags
rejected
- parent isolation: parent mount namespace is unchanged after clone
- many parent mounts: child still gets exactly one mount
- mount properties: root mount is nullfs, is its own parent, is the
only listmount entry
- overmount workflow: child can mount tmpfs over nullfs root to build
a writable filesystem from scratch
- repeated clone3: each child gets a distinct mount namespace
- setns: parent can join child's empty mount namespace via setns()
- regression: plain CLONE_NEWNS via clone3 still copies the full
mount tree

Add a test suite for the UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS and CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS
flags exercising the empty mount namespace functionality through the

The tests cover:
- basic functionality: unshare succeeds, exactly one mount exists in

- flag interactions: UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS works standalone without
explicit CLONE_NEWNS, combines correctly with CLONE_NEWUSER and
other namespace flags (CLONE_NEWUTS, CLONE_NEWIPC)
- edge cases: EPERM without capabilities, works from a user namespace,
many source mounts still result in one mount, cwd on a different
mount gets reset to root
- error paths: invalid flags return EINVAL
- regression: plain CLONE_NEWNS still copies the full mount tree,
other namespace unshares are unaffected
- mount properties: the root mount has the expected statmount
properties, is its own parent, and is the only entry returned by
listmount
- repeated unshare: consecutive UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS calls each
produce a new namespace with a distinct mount ID
- overmount workflow: verifies the intended usage pattern of creating
an empty mount namespace with a nullfs root and then mounting tmpfs
over it to build a writable filesystem from scratch

The devpts_pts selftest has an ifdef in case an architecture does not
define TIOCGPTPEER, but the handling for this is broken since we need
errno to be set to EINVAL in order to skip the test as we should. Given
that this ioctl() has been defined since v4.15 we may as well just assume
it's there rather than write handling code which will probably never get
used.

Test user.* xattr operations on sockets from different address families:
AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, and AF_PACKET. All socket types use
sockfs for their inodes, so user.* xattrs should work regardless of
address family.
Each fixture creates a socket (no bind needed) and verifies the full
fsetxattr/fgetxattr/flistxattr/fremovexattr cycle. AF_INET6 skips if
not supported; AF_PACKET skips if CAP_NET_RAW is unavailable.
Also tests abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets, which live in sockfs
(not on a filesystem) and should support user.* xattrs.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- statmount: accept fd as a parameter
Extend struct mnt_id_req with a file descriptor field and a new
STATMOUNT_BY_FD flag. When set, statmount() returns mount information
for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts
(unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)).
For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID
mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability
check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already
implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is
available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without
privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached
and detached mount cases.
- fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch)
Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new
mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that
handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including
legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and
associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains
untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are
cleaned up.
- mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree()
Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's
entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively
unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and
thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant
contention on the namespace semaphore.
OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like
OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a
detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted
on top of a clone of the real rootfs.
This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a
single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by
the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from
the copy to prevent cycles. Includes ~1000 lines of selftests"

Here is the big set of char/misc/iio and other driver subsystem changes
for 6.18-rc1. Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy
development cycle in lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new
lines added to the tree. Included in here are:
- IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and
other goodness in the sensor subsystems
- MEI driver updates and additions
- NVMEM driver updates
- slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor
updates
- coresight driver updates and additions
- MHI driver updates
- comedi driver updates and fixes
- extcon driver updates
- interconnect driver additions
- eeprom driver updates and fixes
- minor UIO driver updates
- tiny W1 driver updates
But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions,
which includes:
- misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now
write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver
shows how this can be done.
- Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled
for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through
this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that
were in here. I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the
usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to
work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle.
- Android Binder driver implemented in Rust. This is the big one, and
was driving a huge majority of the rust binding work over the past
years. Right now there are 2 binder drivers in the kernel, selected
only at build time as to which one to use as binder wants to be
included in the system at boot time. The binder C maintainers all
agreed on this, as eventually, they want the C code to be removed from
the tree, but it will take a few releases to get there while both
are maintained to ensure that the rust implementation is fully
stable and compliant with the existing userspace apis.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with only minor merge
issues showing up (you will hit them as well.) Just accept both sides
of the merge, it's just some header and include file lines, nothing
major.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains some work around mount api handling:
- Output the warning message for mnt_too_revealing() triggered during
fsmount() to the fscontext log. This makes it possible for the
mount tool to output appropriate warnings on the command line.
For example, with the newest fsopen()-based mount(8) from
util-linux, the error messages now look like:
# mount -t proc proc /tmp
mount: /tmp: fsmount() failed: VFS: Mount too revealing.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
- Do not consume fscontext log entries when returning -EMSGSIZE
Userspace generally expects APIs that return -EMSGSIZE to allow for
them to adjust their buffer size and retry the operation.
However, the fscontext log would previously clear the message even
in the -EMSGSIZE case.
Given that it is very cheap for us to check whether the buffer is
too small before we remove the message from the ring buffer, let's
just do that instead.
- Drop an unused argument from do_remount()"

simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
implement to provide this.
- The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
- The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
aligned to memory block size.
- The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
- The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
- The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that
are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more
efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
- The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected
because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
favor of using more current facilities.
- The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
- The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the
addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
tables". This change does result in various architectures performing
unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
- The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
structures.
- The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
which we've been missing for 15 years.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
dramaticelly reduced.
- The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
reading the code.
- The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory
hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
hit.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
- The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
Baoquan found via code inspection.
- The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly
ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
- The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
utilization.
- The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive
reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
- The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
- The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic
performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
during memory compaction when using JFS.
- The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication
logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c
into the more appropriate mm/vma.c.
- The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from
Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the
folio_index() function.
- The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal
Moola does that.
- The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from
Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by
the test_memcontrol selftest.
- The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare
hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of
file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new
file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and
prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other
problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from
Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's
one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code,
tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of
miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code,
tests and documents."
- The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel
Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to
making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related
functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio
conversions in the hugetlb code.

it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.
- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.
- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.
- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.
This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.
- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Use folios for symlinks in the page cache
FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()
- Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
inode->i_mutex level
- Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
allow through out sysctl interface
A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
after initialization
To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
recovery completes
To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
pressure control
The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
restart performance degradation
- Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()
- Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()
- Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()
- Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode
- Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
own private superblock
- Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock
- Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior
- Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()
Cleanups:
- Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers
- Try to remove the uselib() system call
- Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll
- Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select
- Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse
- Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()
- Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages
- Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
documentation
- Update main netfs API document
- Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()
- Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()
- Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases
Fixes:
- Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description
- Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()
- Correct comments of fs_validate_description()
- Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in
vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()
- Delete macro fsparam_u32hex()
- Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table()
- Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name()
- Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles"

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

STATMOUNT_MNT_OPTS can actually be missing if there are no options. This
is a change of behavior since 75ead69a71 ("fs: don't let statmount return
empty strings").
The other checks shouldn't actually trigger, but add them for correctness
and for easier debugging if the test fails.

Here is the "big and hairy" char/misc/iio and other small driver
subsystem updates for 6.13-rc1. Sorry for doing this at the end of the
merge window, conference and holiday travel got in the way on my side
(hence the 5am pull request emails...)
Loads of things in here, and even a fun merge conflict!
- rust misc driver bindings and other rust changes to make misc
drivers actually possible. I think this is the tipping point,
expect to see way more rust drivers going forward now that these
bindings are present. Next merge window hopefully we will have pci
and platform drivers working, which will fully enable almost all
driver subsystems to start accepting (or at least getting) rust
drivers. This is the end result of a lot of work from a lot of
people, congrats to all of them for getting this far, you've proved
many of us wrong in the best way possible, working code :)
- IIO driver updates, too many to list individually, that subsystem
keeps growing and growing...
- Interconnect driver updates
- nvmem driver updates
- pwm driver updates
- platform_driver::remove() fixups, loads of them
- counter driver updates
- misc driver updates (keba?)
- binder driver updates and fixes
- loads of other small char/misc/etc driver updates and additions,
full details in the shortlog.
Note, there is a semi-hairy rust merge conflict when pulling this. The
resolution has been in linux-next for a while and can be seen here:

fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "lowerdir+", NULL, fd_lower1);

fsconfig(fd_overlay, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir+", "/lower1", 0);

selftests: use shared header
Documentation,ovl: document new file descriptor based layers
ovl: specify layers via file descriptors
fs: add helper to use mount option as path or fd
Add a simple file stressor that lives directly in-tree. This will create
a bunch of processes that each open 500 file descriptors and then use
close_range() to close them all.
Concurrently, other processes read /proc/<pid>/fd/ which rougly does
f = fget_task_next(p, &fd);
if (!f)
break;
data.mode = f->f_mode;
fput(f);
Which means that it'll try to get a reference to a file in another
task's file descriptor table.
Under heavy file load it is increasingly likely that the other task will
manage to close @file and @file will be recycled due to
SLAB_TYPEAFE_BY_RCU concurrently. This will trigger various warnings in
the file reference counting code.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.11.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount query updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains work to extend the abilities of listmount() and
statmount() and various fixes and cleanups.
Features:
- Allow iterating through mounts via listmount() from newest to
oldest. This makes it possible for mount(8) to keep iterating the
mount table in reverse order so it gets newest mounts first.
- Relax permissions on listmount() and statmount().
It's not necessary to have capabilities in the initial namespace:
it is sufficient to have capabilities in the owning namespace of
the mount namespace we're located in to list unreachable mounts in
that namespace.
- Extend both listmount() and statmount() to list and stat mounts in
foreign mount namespaces.
Currently the only way to iterate over mount entries in mount
namespaces that aren't in the caller's mount namespace is by
crawling through /proc in order to find /proc/<pid>/mountinfo for
the relevant mount namespace.
This is both very clumsy and hugely inefficient. So extend struct
mnt_id_req with a new member that allows to specify the mount
namespace id of the mount namespace we want to look at.
Luckily internally we already have most of the infrastructure for
this so we just need to expose it to userspace. Give userspace a
way to retrieve the id of a mount namespace via statmount() and
through a new nsfs ioctl() on mount namespace file descriptor.
This comes with appropriate selftests.
- Expose mount options through statmount().
Currently if userspace wants to get mount options for a mount and
with statmount(), they still have to open /proc/<pid>/mountinfo to
parse mount options. Simply the information through statmount()
directly.
Afterwards it's possible to only rely on statmount() and
listmount() to retrieve all and more information than
/proc/<pid>/mountinfo provides.
This comes with appropriate selftests.
Fixes:
- Avoid copying to userspace under the namespace semaphore in
listmount.
Cleanups:
- Simplify the error handling in listmount by relying on our newly
added cleanup infrastructure.
- Refuse invalid mount ids early for both listmount and statmount"

First of all, in order to build with clang at all, one must first apply
Valentin Obst's build fix for LLVM [1]. Once that is done, then when
building with clang, via:
make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests
...the following error occurs:
clang: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files
This is because clang, unlike gcc, won't accept invocations of this
form:
clang file1.c header2.h
While trying to fix this, I noticed that:
a) selftests/lib.mk already avoids the problem, and
b) The binderfs Makefile indavertently bypasses the selftests/lib.mk
build system, and quitely uses Make's implicit build rules for .c files
instead.
The Makefile attempts to set up both a dependency and a source file,
neither of which was needed, because lib.mk is able to automatically
handle both. This line:
binderfs_test: binderfs_test.c
...causes Make's implicit rules to run, which builds binderfs_test
without ever looking at lib.mk.
Fix this by simply deleting the "binderfs_test:" Makefile target and
letting lib.mk handle it instead.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.
The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
rehashing everything here.
At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.
Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.
The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
conflated.
Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
here as well.
Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
ids.
statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
the @mask argument in struct statmount.
Currently we do support:
- STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
Basic filesystem info
- STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)
- STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
Propagation from what mount in current namespace
- STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)
- STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)
- STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts
The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
easily.
The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.
listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"

When mapping a file on overlayfs, the file stored in ->vm_file is a
backing file whose f_inode is on the underlying filesystem. We need to
verify that /proc/pid/maps contains numbers of the overlayfs file, but
not its backing file.
