Suren Baghdasaryan	1d581ab234	alloc_tag: add ioctl to /proc/allocinfo ... Patch series "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP", v8. Currently, memory allocation profiling data is primarily exposed through /proc/allocinfo. While useful for manual inspection, this text-based interface poses challenges for production monitoring and large-scale analysis: 1. Userspace must parse large amounts of text to extract specific fields. 2. To find specific tags, userspace must read the entire dataset, requiring many context switches and high data copying. 3. The kernel currently aggregates per-CPU counters for every allocation size, even those the user intends to filter out immediately. This series introduces a new IOCTL-based binary interface for allocinfo that supports kernel-side filtering. By allowing the user to specify a filter mask, we significantly reduce the work performed in-kernel and the amount of data transferred to userspace. The IOCTL mechanism was chosen for allocinfo to address the per-CPU counter aggregation bottleneck. A traditional read() operation must report the total allocation count and sizes for every code tag in the system. Doing so requires iterating across all CPUs to sum their per-CPU counters for thousands of tags, which introduces substantial runtime overhead. The IOCTL interface allows userspace to push selective filtering criteria directly into the kernel before the per-CPU counter aggregation. The kernel aggregates per-CPU counters only for a small subset of tags that match the filter. This results in significant performance improvement. Beyond fast filtered retrieval, the IOCTL foundation allows introducing a context capture mechanism in the future to capture the context for specific allocations. Performance measurements were conducted on an Intel Xeon Platinum 8481C (224 CPUs) with caches dropped before each run. The IOCTL mechanism shows a ~20x performance improvement for filtered queries. The kernel avoids the expensive per-CPU counter aggregation (alloc_tag_read) for any tags that fail the initial string or location filters. Scenario 1: Specific File Filtering (arch/x86/events/rapl.c) 1. Traditional (cat /proc/allocinfo | grep): 22ms (sys) 2. IOCTL Interface: 1ms (sys) Scenario 2: Compound Filtering (Filename + Size) 1. Traditional: (cat ... | grep | awk): 21ms (sys) 2. IOCTL Interface: 1ms (sys) Scenario 3: Size-Based Filtering (min_size = 1MB) 1. Traditional: (cat ... | awk): 21ms (sys) 2. IOCTL Interface: 14ms (sys) This patch (of 6): Add the following ioctl commands for /proc/allocinfo file: ALLOCINFO_IOC_CONTENT_ID - gets content identifier which can be used to check whether the file content has changed specifically due to module load/unload. Every time a module is loaded / unloaded, the returned value will be different. By comparing the identifier value at the beginning and at the end of the content retrieval operation, users can validate retrieved information for consistency. ALLOCINFO_IOC_GET_AT - gets the record at the specified position. This is the position of a record in /proc/allocinfo. ALLOCINFO_IOC_GET_NEXT - gets the record next to the last retrieved one. If no records were previously retrieved, returns the first record. Note, function file and module names often have the same prefixes, therefore when filtering for them, we compare the last 64 characters to minimize the chances of name collisions.

The 11 patch series "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" from SJ Park refactors the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code. - The 5 patch series "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" from Zi Yan adds checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail(). - The 4 patch series "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" from Barry Song eliminates redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead. By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads. - The 3 patch series "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" from Jianyue Wu reorganizes folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - The 15 patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" from Kiryl Shutsemau adds userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage. - The 10 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" from David Hildenbrand removes the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" from SJ Park ensures that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - The 3 patch series "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" from xu xin resolves a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - The 3 patch series "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" from Mike Rapoport splits declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers. - The 2 patch series "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" from xu xin applies the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - The 3 patch series "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" from Sayali Patil fixes issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied. - The 19 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" from SJ Park introduces attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - The 8 patch series "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" from Stanislav Kinsburskii extends hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - The 33 patch series "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" from Lorenzo Stoakes cleans up and standardizes how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel. It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - The 3 patch series "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" from Usama Arif addresses kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations. It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - The 5 patch series "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" from Dev Jain refactors try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - The 4 patch series "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" from Song Hu fixes typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document. - The 10 patch series "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" from Gregory Price introduces an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions. By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - The 13 patch series "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" from Lorenzo Stoakes continues transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - The 2 patch series "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" from xu xin refactors mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - The 10 patch series "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" from SJ Park cleans up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" from SJ Park addresses potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON. It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" from Brendan Jackman fixes an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - The 4 patch series "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" from Brendan Jackman cleans up and updates page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - The 3 patch series "mm/mseal: further cleanups" from Lorenzo Stoakes refactors and simplifies the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - The 4 patch series "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" from Ridong Chen resolves reclaim behavior bugs and cleans up function parameters across memory reclaim paths. It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - The 6 patch series "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" from Kefeng Wang cleans up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - The 2 patch series "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" from Kiryl Shutsemau implements two trivial cleanups in the folio split API. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" from SJ Park resolves minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - The 3 patch series "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" from Jinjiang Tu cleans up and refactors stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - The 3 patch series "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" from Dev Jain extends batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - The 3 patch series "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" from Sang-Heon Jeon clarifies and cleans up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset(). It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - The 4 patch series "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" from Johannes Weiner addresses severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production. It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - The 2 patch series "zram: lockmap tweaks" from Sebastian Siewior optimizes and fixes lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolating lock classes across multiple instances. It reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCaoUJbQAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jqrzAP9WoPU0hiK4qS/kSjhtoZxhjpS5eLSUCy/utKuEvZbfGgEAu1zA+LH+X9Tm THK5ex4iUZxiFbXpWfLMxE/Q9PmQYQ8= =QTyb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "mm: drop "sub" prefix from various places" (Dev Jain) page->folio conversion and a naming cleanup - "mm/kasan: remove redundant initialization for kasan_flag_write_only" (Igor Putko) KASAN cleanup work - "mm/filemap: reduce unnecessary xarray lookups" (Chi Zhiling) Small speedup in the pagecaache read code - "mm/percpu: Fix possible NOFS/NOIO reclaim recursion" (Kaitao Cheng) Improve the vmalloc code - mainly the avoidance of GFP_KERNEL allocations when the caller asked for GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO - "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task stacks" (Breno Leitao) Avoid a soft lockup watchdog trigger from the kmemleak scanning code in extreme situations - "mm/page_owner: misc cleanups" (Ye Liu) Cleanups to the page_owner code.

Mickaël Salaün	172b6a6d84	landlock: Document tracepoints ... Until now, Landlock observability documentation covered only audit records. The tracepoints added by the previous commits introduce a second channel with different semantics (firing regardless of audit configuration and domain log flags, exposing the full ruleset and domain state to eBPF via BTF), which kernel developers, administrators, and userspace tool authors need to discover and compare against audit. Add a dedicated "Landlock Trace Events" reference covering the event categories, enabling events via tracefs, ruleset versioning, eBPF access through BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT, and the same_exec and logged denial fields (logged being the kernel's audit-logging decision, so a stateless ftrace filter can select the denials audit would record with logged==1). Cross-reference it from the administrator, kernel-internals, and userspace API documents, contrasting tracepoints with audit: when each channel is preferred, what each guarantees, and how NOAUDIT hooks and audit rate limiting affect them. Also document the relational other-party domain fields the scope and ptrace denial tracepoints expose (tracee_domain, target_domain, peer_domain; 0 when the other party is unsandboxed), so a consumer can resolve them against the lifecycle events and reproduce the two-domain verdict.

Niklas Söderlund	b562e72bdb	media: rppx1: Add framework to support Dreamchip RPPX1 ISP ... Add a framework driver for Dreamchip RPPX1 ISP. The driver aims to provide a framework for other V4L2 based drivers to drive the RPPX1 functionality. The reason for this split is that the RPPX1 IP itself do not provide any DMA engines to drive data to/from the device, instead it depends on other IP blocks to implement these features. While the peripherals around the RPPX1 ISP used in different designs and by different vendors are different the RPPX1 core itself is the same. For this reason the framework solution to be able to split the Dreamchip RPPX1 driver from vendors usage of it have been picked in hope to reduce duplication of the common parts. The design is to try and keep the surface of this framework as small as possible. The intention of this change is to be able to fill all needs of this. * Two functions to create and destroy a RPPX1 instance, rppx1_create() and rppx1_destory(). These are intended to be called in the users probe and remove code paths. * Two functions to start and stop the RPPX1 processing, rppx1_start() and rppx1_stop(). These are intended to be called in the users stream on and stream off code paths. * One function to ask the RPPX1 to process parameters buffer prepared by user space, rppx1_params(). The intention is to call this function when the parameter buffer is queued to the V4L2 driver and the result stored by the driver until the time it needs to be written to the RPPX1. It's the users responsibility to write it either using MMIO or other means. * One function to fill in a statistic buffer based on the current status of the RPPX1, rppx1_stats_fill_isr(). The intention is that the user call's this in its interrupt handler when it knows the RPPX1 is done processing a frame. * One function to ack and retrieve the interrupts generated by the RPPX1, rppx1_interrupt(). The intention is to call this function when the users interrupt handler detects the RPPX1 have raised and interrupt. There is no need for the user to understand, or act, on the actual RPPX1 interrupt, but it can if it wants too. The initial support in the framework is limited and do not implement any ISP processing algorithms other then configuring the RPPX1 to process any Bayer (8-, 10, or 12-bit) image and produce either a RGB or YUYV output. It do however probe all function blocks of the RPPX1 and provide an interface to interact with both parameter and statistic bufferers. The user of the framework will not change as algorithms for the different function blocks of the ISP are being added.

Ming Qian	49af0c7cad	media: v4l2-ctrls: Allow unknown HDR10 white point and luminance ... SMPTE ST 2086 defines the nominal ranges for mastering display chromaticity and luminance values. Its Annex A also documents that CTA 861-G uses zero maximum and minimum luminance values to signal that the corresponding values are unknown, and the xy chromaticity coordinate (0, 0) to signal that the white point chromaticity is unknown. The V4L2 HDR10 mastering display compound control currently rejects these values. Consequently, an unknown white point or luminance value prevents the entire compound control from being updated, making the other valid mastering display metadata unavailable to userspace. Accept (0, 0) as an unknown white point and zero as an unknown maximum or minimum mastering luminance. Continue to reject partially zero white point coordinates and non-zero values outside the nominal ranges. Display primary validation remains unchanged. Document the newly accepted unknown values in the V4L2 userspace API.

Linus Torvalds	b85966adbf	Networking changes for 7.2. ... Core & protocols ---------------- - Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues. In this chapter: - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal - Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU. It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock. - Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior. - Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement. - Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit timeout. - Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic. - Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos. - Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256. - Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option, because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40). - Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6). - Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments). - Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address. - Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()). - Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2). - Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit). - Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies. The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors. The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration. - Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE. - Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter. Cross-tree stuff ---------------- - Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference- -counted objects. - Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global crypto API as obsolete and insecure. Wireless -------- - Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower capability than AP. - Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed). - More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast, schedule improvements, multi-station etc.) - Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support). - Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs. Netfilter --------- - Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different namespaces. - Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy. Deletions --------- - Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it). - Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the vendor that added this are AWOL. - Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits. - Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol graveyard, I mean, repository. - Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely, soon. - Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211. Drivers ------- - Software: - Support DEVMEM/DMABUF Tx over NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA devices (netkit). - bonding: add knob to strictly follow 802.3ad for link state. - New drivers: - Alibaba Elastic Ethernet Adaptor (cloud vNIC). - NXP NETC switch within i.MX94. - DPLL: - Add operational state to pins (implement in zl3073x). - Add generic DPLL type, for daisy-chaining DPLLs (implement in ice). - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Huawei (hinic3): - enhance tc flow offload support with queue selection, tunnels - nVidia/Mellanox: - avoid over-copying payload to the skb's linear part (up to 60% win for LRO on slow CPUs like ARM64 V2) - expose more per-queue stats over the standard API - support additional, unprivileged PFs in the DPU configuration - support Socket Direct (multi-PF) with switchdev offloads - add a pool / frag allocator for DMA mapped buffers for control objects, save memory on systems with 64kB page size - take advantage of the ability to dynamically change RSS table size, even when table is configured by the user - increase the max RSS table size for even traffic distribution - Ethernet NICs: - Marvell/Aquantia: - AQC113 PTP support - Realtek USB (r8152): - support 10Gbit Link Speeds and Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) - support firmware loaded (for RTL8157/RTL8159) - support for the RTL8159 - Intel (ixgbe): - support Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) on E610 devices - Ethernet switches: - Airoha: - support multiple netdevs on a single GDM block / port - Marvell (mv88e6xxx): - support SERDES of mv88e6321 - Microchip (ksz8/9): - rework the driver callbacks to remove one indirection layer - Motorcomm (yt921x): - support port rate policing - support TBF qdisc offload - support ACL/flower offload - nVidia/Mellanox: - expose per-PG rx_discards - Realtek: - rtl8365mb: bridge offloading and VLAN support - Ethernet PHYs: - Airoha: - support Airoha AN8801R Gigabit PHYs. - Micrel: - implement 3 low-loss cable tunables - Realtek: - support MDI swapping for RTL8226-CG - support MDIO for RTL931x - Qualcomm: - at803x: Rx and Tx clock management for IPQ5018 PHY - Motorcomm: - support YT8522 100M RMII PHY - set drive strength in YT8531s RGMII - TI: - dp83822: add optional external PHY clock - Bluetooth: - hci_sync: add support for HCI_LE_Set_Host_Feature [v2] - SMP: use AES-CMAC library API - Intel: - support Product level reset - support smart trigger dump - Mediatek: - add event filter to filter specific event - Realtek: - fix RTL8761B/BU broken LE extended scan - WiFi: - Broadcom (b43): - new support for a 11n device - MediaTek (mt76): - support mt7927 - mt792x: broken usb transport detection - mt7921: regulatory improvements - Qualcomm (ath9k): - GPIO interface improvements - Qualcomm (ath12k): - WDS support - replace dynamic memory allocation in WMI Rx path - thermal throttling/cooling device support - 6 GHz incumbent interference detection - channel 177 in 5 GHz - Realtek (rt89): - RTL8922AU support - USB 3 mode switch for performance - better monitor radiotap support - RTL8922DE preparations Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEE6jPA+I1ugmIBA4hXMUZtbf5SIrsFAmox1O4ACgkQMUZtbf5S Irve7hAAgvCYRFvQ/1dvL+PORg2KqVW4rWXMvNrEWaMVAEXJIIPJoxen6zn6a/72 aRs2Ord/wVM/Uh291TOrARwtv1U0oOvOvnbrVM2u06o/EqjtxRAZSF9quTlPdm6Q RvlkR5X9XXM2MwbDc1zYNTITfhVv80YDCFmYGI7O8dyhLuyspX2eU0SiW33Twl4f y6RLcn12gyUbDpa6vt+tari6cFCO/X2zot/uwaDY38b+kwsMHunrj3/PSfJzeYIU 5mD7jG+xsPxQlEskMYGOjVT5VeMdRquhb9UGwoostZpuEPYZfzTdFtphC1qZqIPk 8O8ngAW1yYNIY9TTMPF3Y3LMpOiyZq6/P4KY+tksbeDw8vvTYJzEgw3VpwurZQLM vfHKDj1kM6VLNekeCI+2cip06flVH3jtIkN0KOERwzTSS8NUbs6PuoEP0HLdjafj cr/pgSSTQPUsQkpS5R5Ld3bwpnKea56CQ36p2E8JvU2akwK5RnvqiZiTAfz2z2Tg M0NVlTsJ07ucNBxsO4l7osDtRTnzUqo+ZeTo+zR5l0cGRXPd9nJByk257z4IAlcQ 2MHrJmCZ+ZFKhmkUNUPBdFBATbRgOZHzA/iiiThBrT2hDvWQ2kygO9+IkJBS/WYx eQz7G9hb6Xn1ifWVvPVD0oDL3DKKTotQIN90PZCzvObQFWMc1Vk= =oNfE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'net-next-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues.

Tingmao Wang	29752205db	landlock: Add API support and docs for the quiet flags ... Adds the UAPI for the quiet flags feature (but not the implementation yet). Even though currently LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET only affects audit logging, in the future this can also be used as part of a supervisor mechanism, where it will also suppress denial notifications on a per-object basis. Thus the name is deliberately generic, as opposed to e.g. LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_LOG_QUIET. According to pahole, even after adding the struct access_masks quiet_masks in struct landlock_hierarchy, the u32 log_* bitfield still only has a size of 2 bytes, so there's minimal wasted space.

Mickaël Salaün	143c656e25	landlock: Demonstrate best-effort allowed_access filtering ... Landlock provides best-effort sandboxing across ABI versions: applications request the rights they need, and on older kernels the unsupported rights are silently dropped from handled_access_* by the documented compatibility switch. The recommended pattern for landlock_add_rule(2) calls is to mirror this filtering at the rule level, which wasn't explicitly described in the exemple. Show the pattern explicitly in the filesystem and network rule examples by masking each rule's allowed_access against the ruleset's handled_access_* and adding the rule only when at least one bit remains set. This makes the recommended best-effort pattern self-documenting.

Giovanni Cabiddu	d237230728	crypto: qat - remove unused character device and IOCTLs ... The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs for device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration. These IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known in-tree or out-of-tree users. Device lifecycle is already managed via sysfs. The ioctl interface also increases the attack surface and is the subject of a number of bug reports. Remove the character device, the IOCTL definitions, and the related data structures (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val, adf_user_cfg_section, adf_user_cfg_ctl_data). Drop the now-unused adf_cfg_user.h header and strip adf_ctl_drv.c down to the minimal module_init/module_exit hooks for workqueue, AER, and crypto/compression algorithm registration. Clean up leftover dead code that was only reachable from the removed IOCTL paths: adf_cfg_del_all(), adf_devmgr_verify_id(), adf_devmgr_get_num_dev(), adf_devmgr_get_dev_by_id(), adf_get_vf_real_id() and the unused ADF_CFG macros.

The synclink_gt driver was marked as broken in commit 426263d5fb ("tty: synclink_gt: mark as BROKEN") in July 2023 because it had severe structural problems and there had been no evidence of users since 2016. Since then, no meaningful improvements have been made to the driver, and it is unlikely that will ever happen due to the lack of interest. Drop the driver and references to it in comments and documentation. include/uapi/linux/synclink.h is also removed. The only use of this header I have found is the linux-raw-sys Rust crate. It generates bindings for all UAPI headers, but has a hardcoded list of headers and ioctls, including this one, so that does not indicate that anyone is using it.

Thomas Gleixner	99428157dc	rseq: Reenable performance optimizations conditionally ... Due to the incompatibility with TCMalloc the RSEQ optimizations and extended features (time slice extensions) have been disabled and made run-time conditional. The original RSEQ implementation, which TCMalloc depends on, registers a 32 byte region (ORIG_RSEG_SIZE). This region has a 32 byte alignment requirement. The extension safe newer variant exposes the kernel RSEQ feature size via getauxval(AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE) and the alignment requirement via getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN). The alignment requirement is that the registered RSEQ region is aligned to the next power of two of the feature size. The kernel currently has a feature size of 33 bytes, which means the alignment requirement is 64 bytes. The TCMalloc RSEQ region is embedded into a cache line aligned data structure starting at offset 32 bytes so that bytes 28-31 and the cpu_id_start field at bytes 32-35 form a 64-bit little endian pointer with the top-most bit (63 set) to check whether the kernel has overwritten cpu_id_start with an actual CPU id value, which is guaranteed to not have the top most bit set. As this is part of their performance tuned magic, it's a pretty safe assumption, that TCMalloc won't use a larger RSEQ size. This allows the kernel to declare that registrations with a size greater than the original size of 32 bytes, which is the cases since time slice extensions got introduced, as RSEQ ABI v2 with the following differences to the original behaviour: 1) Unconditional updates of the user read only fields (CPU, node, MMCID) are removed. Those fields are only updated on registration, task migration and MMCID changes. 2) Unconditional evaluation of the criticial section pointer is removed. It's only evaluated when user space was interrupted and was scheduled out or before delivering a signal in the interrupted context. 3) The read/only requirement of the ID fields is enforced. When the kernel detects that userspace manipulated the fields, the process is terminated. This ensures that multiple entities (libraries) can utilize RSEQ without interfering. 4) Todays extended RSEQ feature (time slice extensions) and future extensions are only enabled in the v2 enabled mode. Registrations with the original size of 32 bytes operate in backwards compatible legacy mode without performance improvements and extended features. Unfortunately that also affects users of older GLIBC versions which register the original size of 32 bytes and do not evaluate the kernel required size in the auxiliary vector AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE. That's the result of the lack of enforcement in the original implementation and the unwillingness of a single entity to cooperate with the larger ecosystem for many years. Implement the required registration changes by restructuring the spaghetti code and adding the size/version check. Also add documentation about the differences of legacy and optimized RSEQ V2 mode.

Reinforce the already stated policy that LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE should always go hand in hand with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE, as their meanings and enforcement overlap in counterintuitive ways. On many common file systems, fallocate(2) offers a way to shorten files as long as the file is opened for writing, side-stepping the LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right.
