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

ns: don't add init_ipc_ns and init_net without namespace support
When CONFIG_IPC_NS or CONFIG_NET_NS are turned off we still add the
initial ipc and network namespace to the namespace trees. ipc_ns_init()
calls ns_tree_add(&init_ipc_ns) whenever CONFIG_SYSVIPC is set and
setup_net() calls ns_tree_add_raw() on init_net whenever CONFIG_NET is
set.
But without CONFIG_IPC_NS and CONFIG_NET_NS these aren't namespaces
userspace can do anything with. They don't have proc_ns_operations so
there's no /proc/<pid>/ns/{ipc,net} for them, nsfs_fh_to_dentry()
refuses them with -EOPNOTSUPP, and since ns->ops is NULL
__ns_tree_add_raw() doesn't add them to the owner list of init_user_ns
either. So they end up half registered. That's also not how we treat
any of the other namespace types. Without CONFIG_UTS_NS, CONFIG_PID_NS,
CONFIG_TIME_NS or CONFIG_USER_NS the initial namespace is never added
to the tree.
listns() walks the unified tree and calls is_current_namespace() for
every namespace it finds via may_list_ns(). But is_current_namespace()
only knows about CLONE_NEWIPC and CLONE_NEWNET if CONFIG_IPC_NS and
CONFIG_NET_NS are set. Otherwise we end up in the default case and its
VFS_WARN_ON_ONCE(). Any unprivileged caller can trigger that with a
plain listns() call:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 526 at fs/nsfs.c:508 is_current_namespace+0x12f/0x440
Call Trace:
legitimize_ns+0x25f/0x4c0
do_listns+0x185/0x5c0
__do_sys_listns+0x13b/0x300
Instead of teaching is_current_namespace() about namespaces that can't
be opened, only add the initial namespaces to the tree if their
namespace type is enabled. Move the registration of init_ipc_ns into
ipc/namespace.c which is only built with CONFIG_IPC_NS. That also fixes
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=n, CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE=y, CONFIG_IPC_NS=y where
ipc/shm.c isn't built and init_ipc_ns was never added at all. For the
network namespace only call ns_tree_add_raw() if CONFIG_NET_NS is set.
Without CONFIG_NET_NS cleanup_net() isn't built and init_net is never
removed so there's nothing to balance.

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.

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.

ipc: drop the mqueue mount with kern_unmount() on setup failure
mq_init_ns() creates the mqueue mount with fc_mount_longterm(), so its ->mnt_ns is MNT_NS_INTERNAL. When setting up the mqueue or ipc sysctls or msg_init_ns() fails afterwards, create_ipc_ns() drops it with a plain mntput(). With ->mnt_ns set that takes the fast path of mntput_no_expire(). The count drops to zero and nothing ever kills the mount, so the mount and the mqueue superblock are leaked. Commit |

fs: port ->create() to pass const mnt_idmap
Convert to const struct mnt_idmap. A mount's idmapping is immutable. The only thing that is allowed to be modified afterwards is the reference count and that is hidden behind mnt_idmap_get() and mnt_idmap_put(). Everything else only ever reads from the idmapping. This is the same model that struct cred uses and the idmapping is also rather sensitive. So make the idmap argument const wherever we can. The conversion is done from the bottom up so callers can continue to pass a non-const pointer to a const parameter until the conversion is finished. No functional changes.

ipc/mqueue: release notification resources during inode eviction
mqueue_flush_file() removes an mq_notify() registration only when the
closing task belongs to the thread group stored in notify_owner.
A task in a separate thread group created with CLONE_FILES can register
SIGEV_THREAD notification and exit without closing the shared file table.
If another thread group then unlinks and last-closes the queue, ->flush()
skips the registration and inode eviction loses the only pointers to its
resources.
The orphaned registration permanently retains the notification skb, its
netlink socket, a pid reference and a user namespace reference. An
unprivileged process can repeat the sequence with new queues and sockets.
No inode users remain during eviction. Remove any stale registration there
after dropping info->lock, since netlink_sendskb() may release the final
socket reference.

- The 3 patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task
stacks" from Breno Leitao avoids a soft lockup watchdog trigger from the
kmemleak scanning code in extreme situations.

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

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

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.

ipc: only destroy orphaned shm segments on sysctl write
proc_ipc_dointvec_minmax_orphans() currently calls shm_destroy_orphaned() whenever shm_rmid_forced is set, including on sysctl reads. Reading /proc/sys/kernel/shm_rmid_forced should not take shm_ids rwsem for write and walk all segments. Only run the cleanup when the sysctl is written and the forced RMID policy is enabled. When shm_rmid_forced=1, monitoring tools that read /proc/sys/kernel/shm_rmid_forced trigger the cleanup on every read.

mm/vma: update do_mmap() to use vma_flags_t
The core do_mmap() function accepts a vm_flags_t parameter which it then manipulates before passing to mmap_region() to do the heavy lifting of the memory mapping. Update do_mmap() to instead accept a vma_flags_t parameter, and adjust all the logic within do_mmap() to manipulate this instead. This is as part of the ongoing effort to convert VMA flags from a system word size to a bitmap type which allows us to unrestrict the number of VMA flags, as well as gain control over how VMA flag manipulation occurs. We do not cascade these changes to all functions which accept vm_flags_t, but rather use vma_flags_to_legacy() where necessary, specifically deferring converting calc_vm_prot_bits(), calc_vm_flag_bits() and __get_unmapped_area() to vma_flags_t. Also utilise the new vma_flags_can_grow() predicate which correctly handles the case of architectures without upward growing stacks. As part of this change, introduce VMA_SHADOW_STACK so we can correctly handle the case of the shadow stack not being defined. No functional change intended.

Remove excl arg to ->create inode_operation
The only time that 'false' is passed as the 'excl' arg to the ->create inode_operation is in lookup_open() when ->atomic_open is not provided by the parent directory. *all* directory inode_operations which do not have ->atomic_open completely ignore the 'excl' arg. Therefore we don't need the 'excl' arg. Those few ->create operations which pay attention to the arg are only ever called with a value of 'true'. We remove that arg and change all ->create operations to behave as those thhe arg were 'true'.

"Fixes
- rhashtable: give each instance its own lockdep class
syzbot reported a circular locking dependency between ht->mutex and
fs_reclaim via the simple_xattrs rhashtable being torn down during
inode eviction.
The predicted deadlock cannot occur: rhashtable_free_and_destroy()
cancels the deferred worker before taking ht->mutex and
acquisitions on distinct rhashtables are on distinct mutexes.
Lockdep flags a cycle anyway because every ht->mutex in the kernel
shared the single static lockdep class from
rhashtable_init_noprof().
The lockdep key is lifted to a per-call-site static key so every
rhashtable instance gets its own class.
- selftests/clone3: fix misuse of the libcap library interface in the
cap_checkpoint_restore test and remove unused variables
- selftests/pid_namespace: compute the pid_max test limits
dynamically instead of hardcoding values below the kernel-enforced
minimum of PIDS_PER_CPU_MIN * num_possible_cpus() which made the
tests fail on machines with many possible CPUs
- selftests: fix the Makefile TARGETS entry for nsfs which wasn't
adjusted when the tests moved under filesystems/

ipc/shm: serialize orphan cleanup with shm_nattch updates
shm_destroy_orphaned() walks the shm idr under shm_ids(ns).rwsem, but that
does not serialize all fields tested by shm_may_destroy(). In particular,
shm_nattch is updated while holding shm_perm.lock, and attach paths can do
that without holding the rwsem.
Do not decide that an orphaned segment is unused before taking the object
lock. Move the shm_may_destroy() check under shm_perm.lock, matching the
other destroy paths, and unlock the segment when it no longer qualifies
for removal.

ipc: limit next_id allocation to the valid ID range
The checkpoint/restore sysctl path can request the next SysV IPC id
through ids->next_id. ipc_idr_alloc() currently forwards that request to
idr_alloc() with an open-ended upper bound.
If the valid tail of the SysV IPC id space is full, the allocation can
spill beyond ipc_mni. The returned SysV IPC id still uses the normal
index encoding, so later lookup and removal can target the wrong slot.
This leaves the real IDR entry behind and breaks the IDR state for the
object.
The bug is in ipc_idr_alloc() in the checkpoint/restore path.
1. ids->next_id is passed to:
idr_alloc(&ids->ipcs_idr, new, ipcid_to_idx(next_id), 0, ...)
2. The zero upper bound makes the allocation effectively open-ended.
Once the valid SysV IPC tail is occupied, idr_alloc() can spill past
ipc_mni and allocate an entry beyond the valid IPC id range.
3. The new object id is still encoded with the narrower SysV IPC index
width:
new->id = (new->seq << ipcmni_seq_shift()) + idx
4. Later removal goes through ipc_rmid(), which uses:
ipcid_to_idx(ipcp->id)
That truncates the real IDR index. An object actually stored at a
high index can then be removed as if it lived at a low in-range
index.
5. For shared memory, shm_destroy() frees the current object anyway, but
the real high IDR slot is left behind as a dangling pointer.
6. A subsequent walk of /proc/sysvipc/shm reaches the stale IDR entry
and dereferences freed memory.
Prevent this by bounding the requested allocation to ipc_mni so the
checkpoint/restore path fails once the valid range is exhausted.

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> |

ipc: don't audit capability check in ipc_permissions()
The IPC sysctls implement the ctl_table_root::permissions hook and they
override the file access mode based on the CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
capability, which is being checked regardless of whether any access is
actually denied or not, so if an LSM denies the capability, an audit
record may be logged even when access is in fact granted.
It wouldn't be viable to restructure the sysctl permission logic to only
check the capability when the access would be actually denied if it's not
granted. Thus, do the same as in net_ctl_permissions() (net/sysctl_net.c)
- switch from ns_capable() to ns_capable_noaudit(), so that the check
never emits an audit record.

This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors
to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO
achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as
memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file
descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such as guest RAM or
any other large memory region, to be maintained in RAM across the kexec
reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.
- The 3 patch series "kexec: reorganize kexec and kdump sysfs" from
Sourabh Jain moves the kexec and kdump sysfs entries from /sys/kernel/

Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to pin
dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing those).
Reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_
anywhere. That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other
things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended
to be an unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether
the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if
that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT)
marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set claims responsibility
for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
* get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that
would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag.
* instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining
"leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed
prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip
DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding
reference if it had been set. After that kill_litter_super() becomes
an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places
in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary pieces
have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting to the
meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here.

mqueue: correct the type of ro to int
The ro variable, being of type bool, caused the -EROFS return value from
mnt_want_write() to be implicitly converted to 1. This prevented the file
from being correctly acquired, thus triggering the issue reported by
syzbot [1].
Changing the type of ro to int allows the system to correctly identify
the reason for the file open failure.

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
cumbersome cleanup paths.
FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:
fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
if (fd < 0)
vfio_device_put_registration(device);
return fd;
FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
additional work before publishing:
FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
if (fdf.err) {
fput(sync_file->file);
return fdf.err;
}
data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
return -EFAULT;
return fd_publish(fdf);
The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.
I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

VFS: change vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure.
vfs_mkdir() already drops the reference to the dentry on failure but it leaves the parent locked. This complicates end_creating() which needs to unlock the parent even though the dentry is no longer available. If we change vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure as well as releasing the dentry, we can remove the "parent" arg from end_creating() and simplify the rules for calling it. Note that cachefiles_get_directory() can choose to substitute an error instead of actually calling vfs_mkdir(), for fault injection. In that case it needs to call end_creating(), just as vfs_mkdir() now does on error. ovl_create_real() will now unlock on error. So the conditional end_creating() after the call is removed, and end_creating() is called internally on error.

VFS: introduce start_creating_noperm() and start_removing_noperm()
xfs, fuse, ipc/mqueue need variants of start_creating or start_removing which do not check permissions. This patch adds _noperm versions of these functions. Note that do_mq_open() was only calling mntget() so it could call path_put() - it didn't really need an extra reference on the mnt. Now it doesn't call mntget() and uses end_creating() which does the dput() half of path_put(). Also mq_unlink() previously passed d_inode(dentry->d_parent) as the dir inode to vfs_unlink().

ipc: create_ipc_ns: drop mqueue mount on sysctl setup failure
If setup_mq_sysctls(ns) fails after mq_init_ns(ns) succeeds, the error path skipped releasing the internal kernel mqueue mount kept in ns->mq_mnt. That leaves the vfsmount/superblock referenced until final namespace teardown, i.e. a resource leak on this rare failure edge. Unwind it by calling mntput(ns->mq_mnt) before dropping user_ns and freeing the IPC namespace. This mirrors the normal ordering used in free_ipc_ns().

ns: drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
Initial namespaces don't modify their reference count anymore. They remain fixed at one so drop the custom refcount initializations. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251110-work-namespace-nstree-fixes-v1-16-e8a9264e0fb9@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> |

Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so on. We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up. The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy. The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum() and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about. Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do for e.g., files. In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system call. Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the concept to all other namespace types. The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree works completely locklessly. This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct mnt_namespace itself. There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very useful. This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis. As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive, meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle. Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode the file handle. Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate /proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the namespace based on a pidfd already. It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any resources and to compare them trivially. Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant namespace. The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles" * tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (65 commits) ns: drop assert ns: move ns type into struct ns_common nstree: make struct ns_tree private ns: add ns_debug() ns: simplify ns_common_init() further cgroup: add missing ns_common include ns: use inode initializer for initial namespaces selftests/namespaces: verify initial namespace inode numbers ns: rename to __ns_ref nsfs: port to ns_ref_*() helpers net: port to ns_ref_*() helpers uts: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipv4: use check_net() net: use check_net() net-sysfs: use check_net() user: port to ns_ref_*() helpers time: port to ns_ref_*() helpers pid: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipc: port to ns_ref_*() helpers cgroup: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ... |
