init/bootconfig: pass init arguments in documented order
start_kernel() appends command-line init arguments before
bootconfig init arguments, while setup_command_line()
places them in the opposite order. As a result, the
arguments passed to init do not match the saved command
line, reversing the intended precedence of options.
Parse extra_init_args before after_dashes so command-line
init arguments are passed last.

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

Summary of series in this merge:
- "mm: make VMA flag semantics explicit, eliminate VM_SPECIAL"
(Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
Replace VM_SPECIAL with helpers describing mapping ownership and
behavior. Enforce the mmap flag rules and convert affected drivers,
removing ambiguous tests shared by driver mappings and ordinary memory.

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

fix stops defrag_mode from spinning under memory.low protection; a
reported file-creation stress test ran 5.7 times faster, with far less
memory pressure. Narrower hugetlb invalidations also spare KVM guests
needless refaults: the reported Redis-in-VM P99 QPS penalty while
punching holes fell from 7.09% to 1.45%.
Several fixes prevent lost data or corrupted memory. Lazyfree
huge-page races with mremap()/munmap() could lose data or access freed
memory, and MADV_COLD could lose a concurrent write's dirty bit.
Another fix prevents stale migration entries from outliving large
folios. On filesystems with blocks smaller than a page, extending a
file by 4 GiB or more could expose bytes written past the old EOF
through mmap instead of zeroes. That is fixed, along with
use-after-free races in PAGEMAP_SCAN during process exit and in
memory-cgroup accounting on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Other fixes stop UFFDIO_MOVE spinning forever on pinned large folios,
which could wedge other memory operations, and stop mremap() leaking
commit charges until allocations fail under strict overcommit. A
further fix keeps userfaultfd tracking intact on neighboring mappings.
NUMA binding no longer prevents long-term pins when the chosen node
has only movable memory, fixing QEMU/VFIO startup and io_uring buffer
registration failures. MGLRU also gets a fix for early-boot crashes
with memory cgroups disabled at boot, notably in small crash kernels.

mm.git review status for linus..mm-nonmm-stable
Total patches: 134 Fixes: tags: 86 cc:stable patches: 52 Reviews/patch: 0.73 Reviewed rate: 59% Summary of patch series in this merge: - "ocfs2: exit recovery thread on mount error path" (Joseph Qi): Stop OCFS2 recovery before freeing failed-mount state and replay slots, closing use-after-free and double-free races. Defer suballocator reclaim to break a transaction-lock deadlock with dismount. - "ocfs2: validate suballoc slot and bit of metadata blocks" (Joseph Qi): Validate OCFS2 metadata suballocator slots, bits and directory index block locations. Reject corrupt metadata with filesystem errors instead of BUGs or out-of-bounds accesses. - "ocfs2: deal with legacy signed name hash values" (Joseph Qi): Restore OCFS2 lookups for non-ASCII names stored with legacy signed hashes. Use stored xattr hashes during bucket splits to avoid duplicate entries and spurious ENOSPC failures. - "ocfs2: stabilize dentry names in file and setattr traces" (Cen Zhang): Snapshot OCFS2 names during file and setattr tracing to prevent rename races using freed storage or mismatched names and lengths. Preserve trace formats and the locked release open-count sample. - "panic: fix panic_force_cpu= redirect races and NMI bypass" (Bradley Morgan): Fix panic_force_cpu races and NMI redirection so crash-kernel CPU selection is honored. Preserve variable arguments on failed redirects and use a static message buffer. - "fat: allocate multiple clusters in fallocate" (Matheus Alves de Almeida): Allocate FAT clusters in batches for FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE and batch FAT updates. This removes repeated single-cluster allocation overhead, particularly on synchronous mounts. - "scripts/gdb: fix radix tree lookup and stack depot diagnostic" (Ting-Han Hou): Fix GDB radix-tree lookup and its handling of XArray sibling, retry and zero entries. Also repair the stack-depot diagnostic for an out-of-range pool index. - "hung_task: Improve warning budget handling and task reporting" (Aaron Tomlin): Reset the hung-task warning budget after recovery so later hangs remain visible. Keep the configured limit intact and emit one summary per scan when detailed reports exhaust the budget. - "bootconfig: Reject unexpected data after null character and cleanups" (Masami Hiramatsu (Google)): Reject bootconfig data after an embedded null while accepting trailing padding. Validate the full input in the userspace tool, and retain internal tree sanity checks there rather than in the kernel. - "kbuild: GCOV cleanups following the prefer-atomic fix" (Konstantin Khorenko): Use the actual GCOV build flags in the prefer-atomic compiler probe. Move flag setup into scripts/Makefile.gcov and skip the probe when GCOV is disabled. - "ocfs2: xattr bucket validation fixes" (Joseph Qi): Accept valid OCFS2 xattr buckets spanning 512-byte blocks, avoiding false read-only remounts. Reject misaligned buckets and return errors instead of panicking on corrupt defrag metadata. - "ocfs2: fix metadata reservation for xattr value trees" (Joseph Qi): Reserve enough OCFS2 metadata for new and relocated xattr value trees. Fix shortfalls which could cause ENOSPC, dropped entries and leaked clusters on fragmented filesystems; remove duplicate reservations. - "Introduce arch_do_panic" (Mete Durlu): Add arch_do_panic() and move s390 and sparc handling out of generic panic code. The architecture-specific actions now follow the end-of-panic marker. - "checkpatch: userspace improvements" (Petr Vorel): Improve checkpatch's userspace detection and suppress kernel-only checks. Recognize standard inttypes macros and add explicit --userspace and --no-userspace overrides. - "ocfs2: validate dr_fs_generation of dir index root blocks" (Joseph Qi): Check OCFS2 directory index generations and leaf block numbers. Reject stale or misplaced blocks instead of using metadata left by a previously formatted filesystem. - "selftests/membarrier: Skip an unregistered memory barrier test on Musl" (Chris Gellermann): Skip the unregistered membarrier test when libc has already registered the command. Musl does this during thread creation, causing false failures in the multithreaded test. - "init: fix array boundary bugs in boot parameter parsing" (Wilson Felipe Pereira): Fix boot argument boundary cases which leave stale arguments in init's command line or panic when replacing the final environment variable. Clear the last slot and check duplicates before the limit. Summary of the 87 singletons in this merge: The OCFS2 singletons fix deadlocks between xattr updates and inline truncation, and during inode reclaim. Corrupt quota and extent metadata could also crash the kernel or corrupt memory; these paths now check the layout before using it. Other fixes close use-after-free and publication races around cluster reconfiguration, node failure, quota remount errors and shared refcount trees. New files now retain security labels from all stacked LSMs instead of silently dropping all but one. Valid xattr insertions also stop tripping FORTIFY on builds with counted arrays. Elsewhere, a lost wakeup could leave hardware-monitoring reads stuck in unkillable sleep and block further I2C traffic. That is fixed, as are kernel memory leaks in POSIX message-queue notifications and tmpfs casefold setup which could grow until memory is exhausted. A driver removal race which could crash the kernel is fixed too. The hibernation command through reboot() also stops taking the same mutex twice, avoiding a deadlock before suspension. On the boot side, bzip2 decoding now accepts valid full blocks emitted by lbzip2, fixing failures to boot those compressed kernels. Malformed bzip2 streams can no longer overflow the decode buffer, and LZ4 initrds are checked before the decoder can read past their end. FAT rejects geometry which overflows the data-area calculation on 32-bit systems, and rolls back entries when inode setup fails, preventing failed creations from reappearing after remount. The x86 XOR and RAID6 AVX paths also avoid imposing a slowdown on subsequent SSE code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCat57YgAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA jofGAQDBRlA6AI/WIWAuSb9FH4RIMe16EU3klIYoNqgY3eMbLwD/f8J1rm4gBpBl eXV7nwZMb8Ackw1+2CuBtbvpLfjQUA4= =JLjf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-10-25-14-57' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "ocfs2: exit recovery thread on mount error path" (Joseph Qi): Stop OCFS2 recovery before freeing failed-mount state and replay slots, closing use-after-free and double-free races.

arch, mm: promote DEBUG_WX to CHECK_WX
Verification that the kernel does not have writable + executable mappings is about detecting security risks rather than a pure debug feature. Major distribution configurations enable it in their kernels as well as defconfigs of most architectures that have ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX. Rename relevant generic configuration options to use CHECK_WX and move their definitions from mm/Kconfig.debug to mm/Kconfig. Rename *debug_checkwx() funcitons and macros to *pgtable_checkwx(). For arm that does not widely enable it, only rename its variants of the config options. Enabling CHECK_WX adds a few kilobytes to the kernel binary and while the added size can be slightly reduced with churny updates of architecture implementations of ptdump, the core functionality takes most of the added size. It cannot be moved to .init.text because the verification has to happen after init sections are freed. With this, make generic CHECK_WX default to STRICT_KERNEL_RWX while still leaving users targeting small kernels the possibility to opt-out.

Bootconfig updates for v7.4:
- bootconfig: Parser robustness and validation improvements
. Skip printing early params to cmdline from bootconfig: Suppress
early_param keys from /proc/cmdline and warn the user, since bootconfig
does not invoke early_param handlers and silently ignoring them is
misleading.
. Reject unexpected data after null character: Detect and reject non-null
data following an intermediate null character in the bootconfig buffer,
preventing silently ignored configuration after an early termination.
- bootconfig: Code cleanups
. Merge _xbc_exit() into xbc_exit(): Since memblock_free() now handles
late freeing and NULL addresses, the separate _xbc_exit() helper and
its early argument are unnecessary. Inline it into xbc_exit().
. Remove redundant assignment in xbc_parse_array(): The node->child = 0
assignment after the loop duplicates what xbc_init_node() already did.
. Skip internal tree sanity checks in kernel: Move the node index bounds
loop from xbc_verify_tree() into a userspace-only xbc_sanity_check_tree()
to reduce boot-time overhead, since out-of-bounds indices cannot be
produced by malformed input.
. Move BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE to include/linux/bootconfig.h: Share the
footer size constant between kernel and user-space tools, replacing the
hardcoded (BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN + 8) expression in init/main.c.
- tools/bootconfig: Tooling improvements
. Remove unused PAGE_SIZE macro from the bootconfig tool.
. Consolidate xbc_init() to error message wrapper: Use
init_xbc_with_error() for all bootconfig initialization paths in the
tool for simpler and more consistent error handling.

sched_ext: Changes for v7.4
This depends on sched/core, which carries the sched_ext hooks for proxy execution, and should be pulled after it. The shortlog and diffstat are against v7.3 with sched/core merged. for-7.3-fixes was merged into for-7.4 six times during the cycle, once to receive a change the CID cluster work built on and otherwise to resolve conflicts with development here, mostly the proxy execution work. Five fixes went into for-7.3-fixes in the days before v7.3 was cut and missed the release. They come in through this pull, three of them marked for stable: balance callbacks left queued across a pick retry, a use-after-free on a CPU going offline, and bypass bugs that could stall a task. - Proxy execution can now be enabled together with sched_ext. A BPF scheduler can opt in to receive mutex-blocked tasks that donate their scheduling context to the lock owner and place them itself. - Lazy preemption: a BPF scheduler can preempt or kick a CPU lazily, deferring the switch to the next return to user space or tick, as the fair class can. - Sub-schedulers: a parent now learns which child runs on each CPU it delegated and when a cap change takes effect. A detaching child loses its caps before the parent restores the CPUs. - New kfuncs re-enqueue single tasks from a dispatch queue iteration and report a cgroup's CPU count and a CID's NUMA node. The CID topology now includes clusters. - Hot path optimizations: dispatch queue and task lookups compare keys inline, remote task moves no longer take a dispatch queue lock twice, and sub-scheduler hooks cost nothing without sub-schedulers. - Kfuncs callable from tracing programs are hardened against NMI and IRQ nesting, which could hard-lock the CPU or pick a wrong idle CPU. - Built-in dispatch queues no longer allocate per-CPU state that grew with the square of the CPU count. - Header syncs with the scx repo, a BTF workaround for pahole 1.32, and selftest fixes and coverage. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYKACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCatZJMQ4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGRgSAP4n0sb6c00/m1VhyjR/75faCpNrvW5fS0zZ5Zon fAsCGgD5AUTLMn460Lr9vTPXvS8RGS790V/Id/oH0+up5z0sHQA= =Kzaf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo: - Proxy execution can now be enabled together with sched_ext.

When rootfs is a ramfs, for example with root= on the command line, its superblock carries a struct ramfs_fs_info from ramfs_init_fs_context(). ramfs_kill_sb() frees it, but rootfs_fs_type uses kill_anon_super(). Before commit |

Rust changes for v7.4
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Update vendored 'zerocopy' crate to v0.8.62 (released 2026-10-08).
This update advances 8 releases, with 3 of them carrying most of the
changes. It contains new features as well as fixes. However, almost
nothing has changed that requires updates on our side (a move of our
non-ASCII change and the addition of an SPDX license identifier).
- Generate Rust KUnit test suites for doctests reusing the
'#[kunit_tests]' and '#[test]' attributes instead of C FFI
functions, which allows to remove the generated C glue file.
Relatedly, simplify 'kunit_assert!' by using 'file!()' and 'line!()'
inside (which doctests override as needed), which allows to remove
the 'file' helper and 'CONFIG_RUSTC_HAS_SPAN_FILE'.
- Trim the function names in doctests generated by 'rustdoc' < 1.95.0
when building with 'O=', which were not reproducible.
- Fix the 'VM_MAYSHARE' value in the generated bindings and its
blocklist entry, due to typos.
- Build 'core' with '--cfg no_io_statics' to ensure 'core' does not
introduce any use of 'core::sync::atomic' into the kernel image
since upstream Rust is moving 'std::io::Error' into 'core', which
uses a global atomic pointer.
Upstream Rust merged a PR to add a test checking that builds of
'core' are warning-free with that 'cfg' enabled.
- Enable the unstable 'proc_macro_span' feature in 'proc-macro2',
which provides 'Span::join' and thus improves the quality of the
diagnostics of all our procedural macros, notably 'pin-init'. This
is only used for producing diagnostics, thus there is no hard
reliance on the feature.
- Globally allow 'clippy::comparison_chain', since its suggestions are
not always ideal and upstream downgraded it to 'pedantic' too.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'mem' module: add the 'Align<N>' zero-sized type so that
alignment can be specified via const generics ('repr(align(...))'
only works with integer literals), e.g.:
const N: usize = 128;
struct S {
_align: Align<N>,
}
assert_eq!(align_of::<S>(), N);
- New 'ratelimit' module: add the 'Ratelimit' abstraction for 'struct
ratelimit_state' and, based on it, the 'pr_*_ratelimited!' printing
macros, which can be used for printing that may be triggered by
userspace.
In addition, convert Rust Binder to use them.
- 'sync' module: to construct a global 'struct ratelimit_state', add a
'const' constructor for 'raw_spinlock_t'.
In addition, move the lockdep types into a new 'sync::lockdep'
submodule, since there were starting to be too many of them.
- 'num' module: add the 'cv!' macro to create constant values ("cv")
from an integer constant expression, with validity checked at
compile time, inferring the target type from the context. It works
for any type that implements the new 'FromConst' trait, e.g.:
let a: Alignment = cv!(4096);
let b: Bounded<u32, 4> = cv!(15);
// Any integer constant expression works, not only literals.
let m: NonZero<usize> = cv!(usize::MAX);
// Checked narrowing, including in `const` items.
const SMALL: u8 = cv!(200u32);
// The target type can be given explicitly.
let e = cv!(200u32 => u8);
// With an explicit primitive target, the expression can use
// generic parameters.
const fn as_u64<const KEY: u16>() -> u64 {
cv!(KEY => u64)
}
This avoids the verbose turbofish syntax which disincentivized using
these types at interface boundaries (e.g. 'Alignment:🆕:<8>()').
- 'alloc' module:
- Allow different error types in 'KBox::pin_slice()', enabling use
of infallible initializers.
- Add 'NumaNode::id()' accessor to retrieve the underlying NUMA
node identifier.
- 'time' module:
- Add 'Delta::to_jiffies_timeout()' for use in timeout arguments.
- Add 'Delta::as_jiffies_unsigned()'.
- Make 'Delta::ZERO' generic over the time unit.
- Warn and assert when passing out-of-range inputs to 'fsleep' and
'udelay'.
- Rename 'ClockSource' to 'ClockId' to better align with naming
conventions in C kernel.
- Make 'CONFIG_HZ' value available as 'bindings::HZ'.
- Add implementation detail documentation for 'HrTimer'.
- 'bitmap' module:
- Add contiguous area operations ('next_zero_area{,_off}', 'set'
and 'clear'), with extra checks compared to the underlying C
code, plus additional ones under 'CONFIG_RUST_BITMAP_HARDENED'.
It includes tests demonstrating the edge cases.
- Restrict bitmap length to at most 'i32::MAX', matching
'BitmapVec::MAX_LEN' and simplifying a few things. This also
fixes 'u32' casts truncating in 'copy_and_extend', which could
otherwise lead to OOB writes.
- 'bug' module:
- Fix 'warn_on!' on UML which called 'warn_slowpath_fmt()' with
the wrong arguments; and fix its '// SAFETY:' comment too.
- Add a KUnit test for 'warn_on!'.
- 'id_pool' module: add contiguous ID reservation via the new
'reserve_ids' and 'release_ids' methods, built on top of the new
bitmap area operations.
- 'sizes' module: add the sub-1K size constants ('SZ_1' to 'SZ_512')
and implement 'SizeConstants' for 'Alignment', so that one can write
e.g. 'Alignment::SZ_8'.
'macros' crate:
- Add '#[optional]' attribute for optional methods in '#[vtable]' to
replace the 'build_error!(VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR)' boilerplate, e.g.:
#[vtable]
pub trait Operations: Sized {
#[optional]
fn f(&self) -> Result;
}
In addition, apply it to miscdevice and hide generated 'HAS_'
constants for required methods.
- Allow non-ASCII characters in the 'authors' field of the 'module!'
macro, which was unintentionally restricted when multiple authors
support was introduced.
'pin-init' crate:
[ Extra context from Gary's pull request:
"This is a cycle packed with feature updates. Two of the most
anticipated features, tuple struct support and safe self
reference creation, has been included in this pull request.
Safe self reference is a big one and is pushed a bit late in the
cycle. The initial plan was to include a minimum subset for this
cycle because I was worried about potential soundness issues;
however during Plumbers it was agreed that the features should be
upstreamed at once. This is because the initial users (Nova,
JobQueue) would all need the advanced features, so it is better
to ensure that the feature get put into use for real, and it can
iterate with users, rather than being fully designed on paper.
The existing safety checks are already very comprehensive, and
Benno and I are confident that if new ones are discovered, it
wouldn't affect the overall design.
That said, the the usage of the advanced features (invariance,
existential lifetime) shall be limited to the pre-agreed users
only, so even in case where the feature needs to be reworked, the
blast radius is limited.
Another theme in this cycle is to improve the developer
experience when things are used wrongly. A lot of work has been
done to use proper spans from user-provided tokens so error
message point to things that cause them. Many common misuse
scenarios also gain additional custom diagnostics." ]
- User visible changes:
- Support tuple structs.
- Allow safe creation of self references.
- Vastly improve diagnostics for common misuse scenarios.
- Other changes:
- Use 'mixed_site' hygiene consistently.
'MAINTAINERS':
- Add 'RUST [BUG]' entry for the Rust 'bug' module (i.e. 'warn_on!'),
which will be maintained by FUJITA Tomonori -- thank you!
- Add Alice Ryhl as co-maintainer for 'Rust [ALLOC]'.
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements.

While this pull request does not contain any in-tree users of these hooks, the Landlock pull request for Linux v7.4 will include Landlock support and the next merge window will likely include SELinux support as well. Considering the development behind these hooks, I expect that BPF LSM developers will also be making use of the namespace hooks, if they haven't already. - Update the inode LSM hooks to include mount idmaps This allows LSMs to incorporate the mount ID mapping into their access control decisions. While there are no current in-tree users of this, it was requested by those developing BPF LSM programs and this pull request includes a BPF LSM selftest. - Preserve the full 32-bit ioctl command in LSM audit records Previously only the low 16 bits were logged, ignoring the direction and size information in the upper 16 bits. The pull request also includes a Landlock based selftest to verify the full 32-bit ioctl value. - Ensure we don't call security_backing_file_free() multiple times Thankfully we don't have a problem with the current code base, but we want to fix this behavior now before it becomes a problem. - Clarify that only the current task may access current->cred The current code is a bit misleading around safely accessing the cred field in a task struct.

Merge tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Fixes:
- aio: a keyed poll completion on an epoll instance could recurse
into the same epoll waitqueue lock when the result eventfd is
watched by that very instance. An unprivileged process could make a
CPU spin on the recursive lock. eventfd-backed poll completions are
always deferred now.
- fsnotify_inoderemove() is only called once the inode is really
dead, no nlink and no aliases, and open_by_handle_at() can't add an
alias to a dead inode anymore. The race could crash fsnotify or
lose inode mark notifications.
- devtmpfs: the conversion of the public instance to ->get_tree()
broke reconfiguring the shared superblock's options on later mounts
which made the boot time defaults permanent. A reconfigure context
is kept in fc->fs_private so the parse ops can forward options to
the underlying filesystem.
- ufs truncated the 64-bit directory size to an unsigned int in
ufs_last_byte(). A crafted image with a 4 GiB directory produced an
out-of-folio read in ufs_find_entry() and, with
CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE, a write into an adjacent page.
- devpts rejects max=0 instead of silently lifting the per-instance
pty limit. The value wrapped into ida_alloc_max() and became
unlimited.
- fs_pin publishes pins with the rcu list helpers so the kill paths
reading the lists under rcu see the initialization.
- dentry_kill() reports a Tasks-RCU quiescent state. Its
cond_resched() is the only reschedule point on the dentry teardown
path and cond_resched() isn't a quiescent state for Tasks-RCU, so
Meta kept seeing rcu_tasks stalls in btrfs subvolume deletion.
- writeback sizes foreign flushes by the target wb's dirty pages
instead of the memcg-wide count which over or undersized a single
bdi flush.
- nfsd READ emitted two fsnotify access events on the iterator path
since vfs_iocb_iter_read() already sends one. A READ on a krb5i or
krb5p mount showed up twice in inotify.
- pipe and splice pass a poll key when waking readers and writers so
epoll, poll() and select() waiters only wake for the event they
asked for.
- the iso8859-14 Unicode to charset tables had page01 duplicated as
page1e so 29 code points mapped to the wrong bytes and 22 that
aren't in the charset were accepted.
- orangefs doesn't wait for an unmount service operation that never
returns on system shutdown and uses ssize_t for strscpy() errors.
- __register_chrdev() checks the kobject_set_name() return value.
- selftest fixes: the openat2 tests hardcoded O_LARGEFILE to 0x8000
which is O_NOFOLLOW on powerpc, resolve_test makes /tmp a
mountpoint so RESOLVE_NO_XDEV has a boundary to trip over,
file_stressor moves into its own directory with a 30 minute
timeout, the kernfs listxattr test skips when SELinux exposes
security.selinux, the namespaces active reference tests wait for
the thread via a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd since pthread_join() returns
before exit_nsproxy_namespaces(), the idmapped_tmpfile test chowns
its directory into the mapped range, the clone3 CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND
test adds CLONE_VM so it fails for the intended reason, the pidfd
PPID error message prints the values it compares and fscontext_ns
gets a .gitignore.
Cleanups:
- vmcore prints the release of the crashed kernel from the VMCOREINFO
note so a kdump that dies before the dump lands still says which
kernel it was for.
- initramfs allocates hardlink hash entries with the validated cpio
name length instead of PATH_MAX, which put every entry in
kmalloc-8k.
- the unused dax_layout_busy_page() is removed,
dax_layout_busy_page_range() becomes static and dax_folio_init()
drops a redundant list initialization.
- vfs_empty_path() is removed, it has had no callers since
getname_maybe_null().
- comment and documentation fixes in aio, bpf_fs_kfuncs,
fs-writeback, inode, read_write, squashfs and the vfs.rst copy of
struct file_system_type"

bootconfig: Skip printing early params to cmdline from bootconfig
If user configures `kernel.key` in bootconfig, the 'key' is shown in kernel cmdline (/proc/cmdline) and kernel boot parameter handler associated with 'key' is invoked. However, since the bootconfig does not support the parameter defined with early_param, those keys are shown in '/proc/cmdline' but not handled by kernel. This could easily mislead users who expected to be able to specify early parameters via the boot configuration, leading them to wonder why it doesn't work. Let's skip printing out early params to cmdline buffer, and warn if there is such parameters in bootconfig.

init/main: fix false-positive kernel panic on environment variable overwrite
In unknown_bootoption(), the limit checking for environment variables sets
panic_later *before* checking if the variable already exists in envp_init.
If a user passes exactly MAX_INIT_ENVS custom variables and then
overwrites the final variable by matching its key, it causes a
false-positive hard panic on boot despite not actually exceeding the array
bounds or increasing the total variable count.
Swapping the order of these checks allows the duplicate check to break out
of the loop before the panic flag is erroneously latched.
To verify, boot a VM with 31 custom variables (filling the array up to its
limit of 32) and then overwrite the very last variable:
ENV_VARS=$(for i in {1..31}; do echo -n "var$i=$i "; done)
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bzImage -append "$ENV_VARS var31=overwrite"
Without this patch, the kernel crashes instantly with:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Too many boot env vars at 'var31=overwrite'
With this patch, the kernel safely overwrites the variable and boots.

init/main: fix off-by-one in argv_init cleanup
Patch series "init: fix array boundary bugs in boot parameter parsing".
This series fixes two distinct boundary logic edge-case bugs in
`init/main.c` related to parsing boot command-line arguments and
environment variables. Both bugs have been present since the early git
history (Linux-2.6.12-rc2).
1. The first patch fixes an off-by-one error in `init_setup()` where
the final slot of the `argv_init` array was left uncleared. This
allowed a stale kernel parameter to leak into the `init` process's
user-space command line if exactly `MAX_INIT_ARGS` unknown
parameters were passed.
2. The second patch fixes a false-positive kernel panic in
`unknown_bootoption()`. If a user filled the environment variable
array up to its exact limit (32) and then attempted to overwrite
the final variable, the kernel would panic before evaluating
whether it was a harmless duplicate.
Exact QEMU reproduction steps for both edge cases are documented inside
their respective commit descriptions.
This patch (of 2):
When cleaning up argv_init in init_setup() and rdinit_setup(), the loop
terminates one element early due to using '<' instead of '<='. Since
argv_init is sized MAX_INIT_ARGS+2, index MAX_INIT_ARGS is a valid element
that should be cleared to NULL.
If exactly MAX_INIT_ARGS unknown arguments are passed before 'init=', the
uncleared argv_init[MAX_INIT_ARGS] can act as a ghost argument to
/sbin/init or cause a spurious kernel panic when later appended to.
To verify the argument leak, boot a VM into a shell with 32 unknown kernel
arguments, the init parameter, and 31 user arguments:
STALE_ARGS=$(for i in {1..32}; do echo -n "stale$i "; done)
USER_ARGS=$(for i in {1..31}; do echo -n "user$i "; done)
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bzImage \
-append "$STALE_ARGS init=/bin/sh $USER_ARGS"
Running `cat /proc/1/cmdline` inside the shell reveals that the 32nd
kernel argument ('stale32') incorrectly leaked into the init process's
command line. This patch zeroes the final slot, cleanly terminating the
array.

random: vDSO: avoid call to memset() when zeroing reserved parameter
After a recent change in LLVM [1], builds with the random vDSO implementation, such as PowerPC and RISC-V, fail when checking the vDSO: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported memset() is now generated when zeroing params->reserved for some builds because LLVM has an optimization (now run in more instances) that can recognize at compile time when it is assigning a static value to a contiguous area of memory and turn that into a call to memset(). Both clang and GCC assume memset() is always available [2]. Clang has an internal fiddly hook, -max-store-memset, which we can set to a high number, to disable generating out of line memset calls [3]. Similarly, GCC has -finline-stringops=memset to do the same [4], should this issue ever hit future version of GCC. While these options wouldn't make sense for normal kernel code, it is fine for the extremely limited and intentionally compact vDSO code. Link: |

bootconfig: Fix integer overflow in initrd size check
Sashiko reported that in get_boot_config_from_initrd(), a crafted initrd
with a huge bootconfig size (such as 0xFFFFFFFF) can cause the pointer
arithmetic:
data = ((void *)hdr) - size;
to wrap around on 32-bit systems (or when pointer subtraction overflows).
Because data wraps around, the subsequent bounds check:
if ((unsigned long)data < initrd_start)
evaluates to false, bypassing the check. The kernel then calls
xbc_calc_checksum(data, size), which attempts to read 4GB of memory,
hitting unmapped pages and triggering a fatal kernel page fault during
early boot. Furthermore, on 64-bit systems with an initrd > 4.29 GB, an
unbounded 32-bit size can similarly bypass the initrd_start check.
Fix this by:
1. Ensuring the initrd is at least large enough to contain the bootconfig
footer and verifying hdr is within the initrd bounds.
2. Checking that size does not exceed XBC_DATA_MAX and does not exceed
the available space between initrd_start and hdr before performing
pointer subtraction.

userns: Add KUnit test suite for uid_gid_map
Add a KUnit test suite to verify the insertion and sorting of mappings in struct uid_gid_map. This test suite validates both base extent insertion (<= 5 mappings) and extended extent insertion (> 5 mappings, which triggers the allocation of the forward and reverse pointers). This is especially useful for verifying that the __counted_by_ptr attribute added to 'forward' and 'reverse' pointers works correctly without causing any runtime bounds-checking panics or traps.

treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversions
This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc() family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's "--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control flow indicator I could find. Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc, riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

cred: clarify that task_struct::cred is only for the current task
The `cred` field in task_struct is currently marked as __rcu, but that's not true: It can point to credentials from access_override_creds(), which do not get freed with RCU delay. What actually protects task_struct::cred is that accessing it is only permitted for the current task (except for setting up a child during fork() or tearing down a dead process). (There is currently code in Smack that violates this rule, but that's a bug and causes UAF, I have sent a separate fix for that.) Clarify this, remove the __rcu marker, and remove RCU helpers from all accesses to this field.

reboot: fix cad_pid use-after-free race
cad_pid is a single kernel-wide struct pid pointer. proc_do_cad_pid()
reads it and passes it to pid_vnr() without protecting the lifetime of
the referenced struct pid. A concurrent writer can replace cad_pid and
drop the final reference to the old struct pid after the reader has
loaded the pointer but before pid_vnr() has finished dereferencing it,
causing a use-after-free.
kill_cad_pid() has the same lifetime race when it passes cad_pid to
kill_pid().
At the time this issue was reported, an unprivileged user could reach the
sysctl through user and PID namespaces because cad_pid was registered in
pid_table[]. Moving cad_pid back to the global reboot sysctl table
corrected that namespace and permission mismatch, but did not fix the
underlying lifetime race.
Fix this by treating cad_pid as an RCU-protected pointer at both read
sites and by waiting for a grace period before dropping the old reference
on the write side.
call_rcu(&old_pid->rcu, ...) cannot be used here because free_pid()
also queues pid->rcu; queueing the same rcu_head twice can corrupt the
RCU callback list.
Original KASAN crash stack:
kernel/pid.c:545 pid_nr_ns() # reads freed pid->level
kernel/pid.c:556 pid_vnr() # calls pid_nr_ns()
kernel/pid.c:775 proc_do_cad_pid() # calls pid_vnr(cad_pid)

collection of unrelated cleanups to the page_owner code. For some
reason lots of people have been working on the page_owner code this
cycle.
- The 4 patch series "mm: convert to walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate
find_vma()" from Kefeng Wang simplifies and accelerates the page walking
library function.

around bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and
related vmemmap setup".
- The 4 patch series "mm/zsmalloc: reduce lock contention in zs_free()"
from Wenchao Hao reduces lock contention in zs_free(), which dominates
the unmap path under memory pressure on Android (LMK kills) and on x86
servers running zswap-heavy workloads. Up to 1.83x improvement in
microbenchmarking.
- The 2 patch series "move alloc_tag.c file under mm/" from Suren
Baghdasaryan does that.
- The 6 patch series "samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}()
failures" from SJ Park fixes improper handling of damon_start(),
damon_stop(), and damon_call() failures across DAMON sample modules to
prevent potential memory leaks, operation disruptions and use-after-free
bugs.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: kobject_del() directories that
users can create/remove" from SJ Park resolves an issue where delayed
sysfs directory removal under CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE causes
creation failures due to duplicate directory names by adding missing
kobject_del() calls before creating new directories.

feature by updating the test control module and verifying that scheme
stats update automatically without manual intervention.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: five misc fixups" from Akinobu Mita
contains miscellaneous DAMON fixups.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/core: detect internal variation above
max_nr_regions/2" from Jiayuan Chen fixes DAMON's region splitting
behavior when region counts exceed half the maximum budget by
dynamically scaling down the split fraction as the limit approaches,
preventing large regions from staying un-split, and adds corresponding
KUnit test coverage.
- The 6 patch series "mm: preparatory patches for PMD level swap
entries" from Usama Arif refactors and cleans up PMD softleaf helpers,
call sites, and architecture flags to lay the groundwork for a follow-up
series that introduces PMD page table swap entries.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: update, optimize, and clean up doc,
tests, and code" from SJ Park updates DAMON design and ABI
documentation, expands unit and selftest coverage, optimizes
damon_commit_target_regions(), and cleans up recently added sysfs
interface code for better readability.
- The 2 patch series "mm/vmpressure: reduce CPU, memory and code
overhead on cgroup v2" from Usama Arif optimizes vmpressure() by
skipping unnecessary work on cgroup v2 for userspace event notifications
and refactors v1-only eventfd handling into mm/memcontrol-v1.c to reduce
memory overhead and code complexity.
- The 10 patch series "selftests/mm: refactor pkey helpers and fix mmap
error handling" from Hongfu Li refactors pkeys shared tracing and
assertion helpers into a common file, unifies protection key selftests
to use consistent diagnostic logging and assertions, and enforces
standardized MAP_FAILED return checks for mmap() calls across the tests.
- The 18 patch series "mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp" from SJ
Park replaces the error-prone, continuously updated nr_accesses_bp field
in damon_region with an on-demand moving sum function
(damon_nr_accesses_mvsum()), reducing structure memory overhead and
avoiding state corruption bugs.
- The 6 patch series "Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic
use" from Ackerley Tng decouples HugeTLB folio allocation from VMA
dependencies by introducing hugetlb_alloc_folio(), enabling subsystems
like guest_memfd to allocate HugeTLB folios without standard VMA
reservations or pseudo-VMAs.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits"
from SJ Park integrates DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter into the
pseudo moving sum infrastructure, enabling real-time, online monitoring
without waiting for full aggregation intervals.
- The 18 patch series "mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs" from
Brendan Jackman simplifies and refactors the page allocator entry points
and flags by unifying allocation paths, adding internal alloc_flags
arguments, and eliminating redundant __ prefixed alloc_pages variants.
- The 5 patch series "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries" from
Dev Jain enforces the consistent use of huge_ptep_get() instead of
ptep_get() for HugeTLB entries and fixes an unaligned address issue in
arm64's huge_ptep_get() implementation.
- The 8 patch series "mm/damon: validate all parameters in the core"
from SJ Park consolidates parameter validation into the DAMON core
specifically within damon_start() and damon_commit_ctx() to centralize
error checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve
maintenance efficiency.
- The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and
cleanup issues" from Yichong Chen renames is_need() to filter_record()
for clearer return semantics, fixes per-record allocation memory leaks
and bounds output copies in search_pattern() to address an existing
buffer issue.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" from
Jiayuan Chen mitigates a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is
removed while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous
reclaim.
- The 5 patch series "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for
unrecoverable pages" from Breno Leitao introduces an opt-in
vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl that immediately panics
the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in kernel-owned pages to
preserve error context and prevent delayed, silent data corruption.
- 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.

silent data corruption
- "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
handling" (SJ Park)
Refactor 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
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add 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()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate 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
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

Hildenbrand)
Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure 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.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve 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.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply 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.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce 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.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend 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.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize 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.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address 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.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor 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.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce 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.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue 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.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor 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.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean 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.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address 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.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix 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.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update 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.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify 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.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean 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().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve 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.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor 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.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend 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.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean 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.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address 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.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating

sched_ext: Changes for v7.3
This depends on the arena argument support in the BPF tree and should be
pulled after the scheduler core and BPF pulls. The patches based on bpf-next
were kept on a separate branch which was merged into for-7.3 just now. The
same merged result was in linux-next for several days.
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.
- 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.

- 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"

Summary
* Documentation
Fix kernel-doc warnings by adjusting in file documentation.
* Consolidate do_proc_* function into do_proc_vec.
Consolidate three slightly different implementations of applying a converter
on all elements of a vector. Fixes to this function now propagate to the three
types.
* Miscellaneous
Replaced CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL with CONFIG_SYSCTL (they were the same) and
restrict cad_pid modifications to global root (GLOBAL_ROOT_UID)
* Testing
This series was run through sysctl selftests/kunit test suite in x86_64. And
went into linux-next around rc2, giving it a bit more than a month of testing.

mlock_all() and prefaulting.
- Provide 32-bit legacy time related functionality only if
CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is enabled. The config switch exists, but
architecture code still exposes the legacy functionality even disabled.
Clean this up by adding the missing guards and validating at build time
that the VDSO is legacy free if disabled.

Timers and timekeeping core updates:
- 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 hardly 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

removal more than a decade ago along with some now empty asm/timex.h
files.
- Consolidate delay timer calibration
The construct of having a define in a header requires that
architectures provided asm/timex.h for no reason. Also the function
name for reading the delay timer is confusing at best.
Use a config switch to enable that functionality and rename the

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Bigger cleanups:
- The lockref dead-count handling is tidied up.
The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker
relies on information the caller should not have.
- make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount
namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a
file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be
used to peek under it.
Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that.
But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user
namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged
component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected.
Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents
that bug.
- vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix
that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it.
This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory
was created whereas every other creation operation passed it
explicitly already.
- move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from
the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq.
None of that work relies on per-cpu state and the work item is
enqueued with queue_delayed_work() whose timer is global anyway. So
it may as well benefit from scheduler task placement.
Smaller fixes and cleanups:
- unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() use
clear_and_wake_up_bit()
- the pipe page pools are unified into a single per-pipe pool and the
extra wake_up(rd_wait) is limited to EPOLLET consumers
- eventpoll now computes its timer slack lazily in ep_poll()
- shrink_dcache_for_umount() keeps making progress on busy roots
- excess xarray nodes are freed in clear_inode()
- romfs detects hard link cycles
- the user path of nested backing files is fixed
- pidfd holds exec_update_lock around the namespace ioctl
- non-memcg-aware nr_cached_objects is skipped during memcg slab
shrink
- iomap_write_iter() always returns status
- mangle_path() is renamed to seq_mangle_path()
- inode timestamp accessors are annotated
- new regression test for pipe->poll_usage.
- a few documentation, kernel-doc and selftest fixes"

This work is about 3 cycles old and has been in -next for about that time. When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from under the kernel. PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no longer affect userspace fs state without explicit opting in to that. Path lookup from a kthread now fails by default. It makes it deliberately hard to offload security sensitive operations into init's filesystem state from a kthread. Places that legitimately need to look something up there opt in through the new scoped_with_init_fs() which temporarily overrides the caller's fs_struct with init's. usermodehelpers remain the only kernel tasks that genuinely share init's filesystem state, since they execute random binaries in the root filesystem (excellent...). The visible result is that /proc/2/root is a nullfs with an empty mountinfo while /proc/1/root is the real root" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.kthread' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (26 commits) initramfs_test: use test init/exit hooks to override init fs fs: stop rewriting paths for PF_EXITING | PF_DUMPCORE fs: stop rewriting kthread fs structs fs: start all kthreads in nullfs nullfs: make nullfs multi-instance devtmpfs: create private mount namespace fs: add umh argument to struct kernel_clone_args fs: stop sharing fs_struct between init_task and pid 1 af_unix: use scoped_with_init_fs() for coredump socket lookup initramfs: use scoped_with_init_fs() for rootfs unpacking pnfs/blocklayout: use scoped_with_init_fs() for SCSI device lookup ksmbd: use scoped_with_init_fs() for VFS path operations ksmbd: use scoped_with_init_fs() for filesystem info path lookup ksmbd: use scoped_with_init_fs() for share path resolution fs: use scoped_with_init_fs() for kernel_read_file_from_path_initns() coredump: use scoped_with_init_fs() for coredump path resolution btrfs: use scoped_with_init_fs() for update_dev_time() scsi: target: use scoped_with_init_fs() for APTPL metadata scsi: target: use scoped_with_init_fs() for ALUA metadata crypto: ccp: use scoped_with_init_fs() for SEV file access ... |

nohz: Replace dead select with choice default
'select' does not work on config options in a 'choice', so currently the 'select VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN' for NO_HZ_FULL is dead, with the choice option VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN only being enabled when NO_HZ_FULL=y because the other choice members depend on NO_HZ_FULL=n. Remove the dead select, and encode this relationship as a default of the choice, instead. This dead select was found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool for Kconfig.

mm/mseal: fix mseal documentation for 32-bit kernels
mseal.o is built only for 64-bit kernels, so 32-bit kernels fall back to sys_ni_syscall() and return -ENOSYS rather than -EPERM. Drop architecture description in mseal.rst, since the arch feature doc has the latest state of mseal for each architecture. Fix the CONFIG_MSEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS typo in init/Kconfig.

sysctl: remove CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, it just mirrors CONFIG_SYSCTL
CONFIG_SYSCTL used to make sense as a separate hidden bool before commit
