2026-04-07ublk: add UBLK_U_CMD_REG_BUF/UNREG_BUF control commandsMing Lei
Add control commands for registering and unregistering shared memory buffers for zero-copy I/O: - UBLK_U_CMD_REG_BUF (0x18): pins pages from userspace, inserts PFN ranges into a per-device maple tree for O(log n) lookup during I/O. Buffer pointers are tracked in a per-device xarray. Returns the assigned buffer index. - UBLK_U_CMD_UNREG_BUF (0x19): removes PFN entries and unpins pages. Queue freeze/unfreeze is handled internally so userspace need not quiesce the device during registration. Also adds: - UBLK_IO_F_SHMEM_ZC flag and addr encoding helpers in UAPI header (16-bit buffer index supporting up to 65536 buffers) - Data structures (ublk_buf, ublk_buf_range) and xarray/maple tree - __ublk_ctrl_reg_buf() helper for PFN insertion with error unwinding - __ublk_ctrl_unreg_buf() helper for cleanup reuse - ublk_support_shmem_zc() / ublk_dev_support_shmem_zc() stubs (returning false — feature not enabled yet) Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260331153207.3635125-2-ming.lei@redhat.com [axboe: fixup ublk_buf_reg -> ublk_shmem_buf_reg errors, comments] Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2026-04-06drbd: remove DRBD_GENLA_F_MANDATORY flag handlingChristoph Böhmwalder
DRBD used a custom mechanism to mark netlink attributes as "mandatory": bit 14 of nla_type was repurposed as DRBD_GENLA_F_MANDATORY. Attributes sent from userspace that had this bit present and that were unknown to the kernel would lead to an error. Since commit ef6243acb478 ("genetlink: optionally validate strictly/dumps"), the generic netlink layer rejects unknown top-level attributes when strict validation is enabled. DRBD never opted out of strict validation, so unknown top-level attributes are already rejected by the netlink core. The mandatory flag mechanism was required for nested attributes, because these are parsed liberally, silently dropping attributes unknown to the kernel. This prepares for the move to a new YNL-based family, which will use the now-default strict parsing. The current family is not expected to gain any new attributes, which makes this change safe. Old userspace that still sets bit 14 is unaffected: nla_type() strips it before __nla_validate_parse() performs attribute validation, so the bit never reaches DRBD. Remove all references to the mandatory flag in DRBD.

2026-04-06ublk: reset per-IO canceled flag on each fetchUday Shankar
If a ublk server starts recovering devices but dies before issuing fetch commands for all IOs, cancellation of the fetch commands that were successfully issued may never complete. This is because the per-IO canceled flag can remain set even after the fetch for that IO has been submitted - the per-IO canceled flags for all IOs in a queue are reset together only once all IOs for that queue have been fetched. So if a nonempty proper subset of the IOs for a queue are fetched when the ublk server dies, the IOs in that subset will never successfully be canceled, as their canceled flags remain set, and this prevents ublk_cancel_cmd from actually calling io_uring_cmd_done on the commands, despite the fact that they are outstanding. Fix this by resetting the per-IO cancel flags immediately when each IO is fetched instead of waiting for all IOs for the queue (which may never happen).

2026-04-05zram: optimize LZ4 dictionary compression performancegao xu
Calling `LZ4_loadDict()` repeatedly in Zram causes significant overhead due to its internal dictionary pre-processing. This commit introduces a template stream mechanism to pre-process the dictionary only once when the dictionary is initially set or modified. It then efficiently copies this state for subsequent compressions. Verification Test Items: Test Platform: android16-6.12 1. Collect Anonymous Page Dataset 1) Apply the following patch: static bool zram_meta_alloc(struct zram *zram, u64 disksize) if (!huge_class_size) - huge_class_size = zs_huge_class_size(zram->mem_pool); + huge_class_size = 0; 2)Install multiple apps and monkey testing until SwapFree is close to 0. 3)Execute the following command to export data: dd if=/dev/block/zram0 of=/data/samples/zram_dump.img bs=4K 2. Train Dictionary Since LZ4 does not have a dedicated dictionary training tool, the zstd tool can be used for training[1]. The command is as follows: zstd --train /data/samples/* --split=4096 --maxdict=64KB -o /vendor/etc/dict_data 3. Test Code adb shell "dd if=/data/samples/zram_dump.img of=/dev/test_pattern bs=4096 count=131072 conv=fsync" adb shell "swapoff /dev/block/zram0" adb shell "echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset" adb shell "echo lz4 > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm" adb shell "echo dict=/vendor/etc/dict_data > /sys/block/zram0/algorithm_params" adb shell "echo 6G > /sys/block/zram0/disksize" echo "Start Compression" adb shell "taskset 80 dd if=/dev/test_pattern of=/dev/block/zram0 bs=4096 count=131072 conv=fsync" echo. echo "Start Decompression" adb shell "taskset 80 dd if=/dev/block/zram0 of=/dev/output_result bs=4096 count=131072 conv=fsync" echo "mm_stat:" adb shell "cat /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat" echo. Note: To ensure stable test results, it is best to lock the CPU frequency before executing the test. LZ4 supports dictionaries up to 64KB. Below are the test results for compression rates at various dictionary sizes: dict_size base patch 4 KB 156M/s 219M/s 8 KB 136M/s 217M/s 16KB 98M/s 214M/s 32KB 66M/s 225M/s 64KB 38M/s 224M/s When an LZ4 compression dictionary is enabled, compression speed is negatively impacted by the dictionary's size; larger dictionaries result in slower compression. This patch eliminates the influence of dictionary size on compression speed, ensuring consistent performance regardless of dictionary scale.

2026-04-05zram: unify and harden algo/priority params handlingSergey Senozhatsky
We have two functions that accept algo= and priority= params - algorithm_params_store() and recompress_store(). This patch unifies and hardens handling of those parameters. There are 4 possible cases: - only priority= provided [recommended] We need to verify that provided priority value is within permitted range for each particular function. - both algo= and priority= provided We cannot prioritize one over another. All we should do is to verify that zram is configured in the way that user-space expects it to be. Namely that zram indeed has compressor algo= setup at given priority=. - only algo= provided [not recommended] We should lookup priority in compressors list. - none provided [not recommended] Just use function's defaults.

2026-04-05zram: remove chained recompressionSergey Senozhatsky
Chained recompression has unpredictable behavior and is not useful in practice. First, systems usually configure just one alternative recompression algorithm, which has slower compression/decompression but better compression ratio. A single alternative algorithm doesn't need chaining. Second, even with multiple recompression algorithms, chained recompression is suboptimal. If a lower priority algorithm succeeds, the page is never attempted with a higher priority algorithm, leading to worse memory savings. If a lower priority algorithm fails, the page is still attempted with a higher priority algorithm, wasting resources on the failed lower priority attempt. In either case, the system would be better off targeting a specific priority directly. Chained recompression also significantly complicates the code. Remove it.

It's not entirely correct to use ->num_active_comps for max-prio limit, as ->num_active_comps just tells the number of configured algorithms, not the max configured priority. For instance, in the following theoretical example: [lz4] [nil] [nil] [deflate] ->num_active_comps is 2, while the actual max-prio is 3. Drop ->num_active_comps and use ZRAM_MAX_COMPS instead.

2026-04-05zram: do not permit params change after initSergey Senozhatsky
Patch series "zram: recompression cleanups and tweaks", v2. This series is a somewhat random mix of fixups, recompression cleanups and improvements partly based on internal conversations. A few patches in the series remove unexpected or confusing behaviour, e.g. auto correction of bad priority= param for recompression, which should have always been just an error. Then it also removes "chain recompression" which has a tricky, unexpected and confusing behaviour at times. We also unify and harden the handling of algo/priority params. There is also an addition of missing device lock in algorithm_params_store() which previously permitted modification of algo params while the device is active. This patch (of 6): First, algorithm_params_store(), like any sysfs handler, should grab device lock. Second, like any write() sysfs handler, it should grab device lock in exclusive mode. Third, it should not permit change of algos' parameters after device init, as this doesn't make sense - we cannot compress with one C/D dict and then just change C/D dict to a different one, for example. Another thing to notice is that algorithm_params_store() accesses device's ->comp_algs for algo priority lookup, which should be protected by device lock in exclusive mode in general.

2026-04-05zram: use statically allocated compression algorithm namesgao xu
Currently, zram dynamically allocates memory for compressor algorithm names when they are set by the user. This requires careful memory management, including explicit `kfree` calls and special handling to avoid freeing statically defined default compressor names. This patch refactors the way zram handles compression algorithm names. Instead of storing dynamically allocated copies, `zram->comp_algs` will now store pointers directly to the static name strings defined within the `zcomp_ops` backend structures, thereby removing the need for conditional `kfree` calls.

2026-03-31zloop: add max_open_zones optionDamien Le Moal
Introduce the new max_open_zones option to allow specifying a limit on the maximum number of open zones of a zloop device. This change allows creating a zloop device that can more closely mimick the characteristics of a physical SMR drive. When set to a non zero value, only up to max_open_zones zones can be in the implicit open (BLK_ZONE_COND_IMP_OPEN) and explicit open (BLK_ZONE_COND_EXP_OPEN) conditions at any time. The transition to the implicit open condition of a zone on a write operation can result in an implicit close of an already implicitly open zone. This is handled in the function zloop_do_open_zone(). This function also handles transitions to the explicit open condition. Implicit close transitions are handled using an LRU ordered list of open zones which is managed using the helper functions zloop_lru_rotate_open_zone() and zloop_lru_remove_open_zone().

2026-03-25drbd: use genl pre_doit/post_doitChristoph Böhmwalder
Every doit handler followed the same pattern: stack-allocate an adm_ctx, call drbd_adm_prepare() at the top, call drbd_adm_finish() at the bottom. This duplicated boilerplate across 25 handlers and made error paths inconsistent, since some handlers could miss sending the reply skb on early-exit paths. The generic netlink framework already provides pre_doit/post_doit hooks for exactly this purpose. An old comment even noted "this would be a good candidate for a pre_doit hook". Use them: - pre_doit heap-allocates adm_ctx, looks up per-command flags from a new drbd_genl_cmd_flags[] table, runs drbd_adm_prepare(), and stores the context in info->user_ptr[0]. - post_doit sends the reply, drops kref references for device/connection/resource, and frees the adm_ctx. - Handlers just receive adm_ctx from info->user_ptr[0], set reply_dh->ret_code, and return. All teardown is in post_doit. - drbd_adm_finish() is removed, superseded by post_doit.

2026-03-21zram: do not slot_free() written-back slotsSergey Senozhatsky
slot_free() basically completely resets the slots by clearing all of its flags and attributes. While zram_writeback_complete() restores some of flags back (those that are necessary for async read decompression) we still lose a lot of slot's metadata. For example, slot's ac-time, or ZRAM_INCOMPRESSIBLE. More importantly, restoring flags/attrs requires extra attention as some of the flags are directly affecting zram device stats. And the original code did not pay that attention. Namely ZRAM_HUGE slots handling in zram_writeback_complete(). The call to slot_free() would decrement ->huge_pages, however when zram_writeback_complete() restored the slot's ZRAM_HUGE flag, it would not get reflected in an incremented ->huge_pages. So when the slot would finally get freed, slot_free() would decrement ->huge_pages again, leading to underflow. Fix this by open-coding the required memory free and stats updates in zram_writeback_complete(), rather than calling the destructive slot_free(). Since we now preserve the ZRAM_HUGE flag on written-back slots (for the deferred decompression path), we also update slot_free() to skip decrementing ->huge_pages if ZRAM_WB is set.

When UBLK_F_NO_AUTO_PART_SCAN is set, GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN is cleared unconditionally, including for unprivileged daemons. Keep it consistent with the code block for setting GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN by not clearing it for unprivileged daemons. In reality this isn't a problem because ioctl(BLKRRPART) requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but it is more reliable to not clear the bit.

2026-03-06ublk: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_set_size()Mehul Rao
ublk_ctrl_set_size() unconditionally dereferences ub->ub_disk via set_capacity_and_notify() without checking if it is NULL. ub->ub_disk is NULL before UBLK_CMD_START_DEV completes (it is only assigned in ublk_ctrl_start_dev()) and after UBLK_CMD_STOP_DEV runs (ublk_detach_disk() sets it to NULL). Since the UBLK_CMD_UPDATE_SIZE handler performs no state validation, a user can trigger a NULL pointer dereference by sending UPDATE_SIZE to a device that has been added but not yet started, or one that has been stopped. Fix this by checking ub->ub_disk under ub->mutex before dereferencing it, and returning -ENODEV if the disk is not available.

Rename writeback_compressed attr to compressed_writeback to avoid possible confusion and have more natural naming. writeback_compressed may look like an alternative version of writeback while in fact writeback_compressed only sets a writeback property.

2026-02-21Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL argumentsLinus Torvalds
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface.

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. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci.

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, ...)

2026-02-20drbd: fix null-pointer dereference on local read errorChristoph Böhmwalder
In drbd_request_endio(), READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR is passed to __req_mod() with a NULL peer_device: __req_mod(req, what, NULL, &m); The READ_COMPLETED_WITH_ERROR handler then unconditionally passes this NULL peer_device to drbd_set_out_of_sync(), which dereferences it, causing a null-pointer dereference. Fix this by obtaining the peer_device via first_peer_device(device), matching how drbd_req_destroy() handles the same situation.

2026-02-19drbd: fix "LOGIC BUG" in drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock()Lars Ellenberg
Even though we check that we "should" be able to do lc_get_cumulative() while holding the device->al_lock spinlock, it may still fail, if some other code path decided to do lc_try_lock() with bad timing. If that happened, we logged "LOGIC BUG for enr=...", but still did not return an error. The rest of the code now assumed that this request has references for the relevant activity log extents. The implcations are that during an active resync, mutual exclusivity of resync versus application IO is not guaranteed. And a potential crash at this point may not realizs that these extents could have been target of in-flight IO and would need to be resynced just in case. Also, once the request completes, it will give up activity log references it does not even hold, which will trigger a BUG_ON(refcnt == 0) in lc_put(). Fix: Do not crash the kernel for a condition that is harmless during normal operation: also catch "e->refcnt == 0", not only "e == NULL" when being noisy about "al_complete_io() called on inactive extent %u\n". And do not try to be smart and "guess" whether something will work, then be surprised when it does not. Deal with the fact that it may or may not work. If it does not, remember a possible "partially in activity log" state (only possible for requests that cross extent boundaries), and return an error code from drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock(). A latter call for the same request will then resume from where we left off.

With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use task_work or not, and avoid it if possible. - rnbd fixes: - Fix refcount underflow in device unmap path - Handle PREFLUSH and NOUNMAP flags properly in protocol - Fix server-side bi_size for special IOs - Zero response buffer before use - Fix trace format for flags - Add .release to rnbd_dev_ktype - MD pull requests via Yu Kuai - Fix raid5_run() to return error when log_init() fails - Fix IO hang with degraded array with llbitmap - Fix percpu_ref not resurrected on suspend timeout in llbitmap - Fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race - Fix NULL pointer dereference in process_metadata_update - Fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid - Fix any_working flag handling in raid10_sync_request - Refactor sync/recovery code path, improve error handling for badblocks, and remove unused recovery_disabled field - Consolidate mddev boolean fields into mddev_flags - Use mempool to allocate stripe_request_ctx and make sure max_sectors is not less than io_opt in raid5 - Fix return value of mddev_trylock - Fix memory leak in raid1_run() - Add Li Nan as mdraid reviewer - Move phys_vec definitions to the kernel types, mostly in preparation for some VFIO and RDMA changes - Improve the speed for secure erase for some devices - Various little rust updates - Various other minor fixes, improvements, and cleanups * tag 'for-7.0/block-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: (162 commits) blk-mq: ABI/sysfs-block: fix docs build warnings selftests: ublk: organize test directories by test ID block: decouple secure erase size limit from discard size limit block: remove redundant kill_bdev() call in set_blocksize() blk-mq: add documentation for new queue attribute async_dpeth block, bfq: convert to use request_queue->async_depth mq-deadline: covert to use request_queue->async_depth kyber: covert to use request_queue->async_depth blk-mq: add a new queue sysfs attribute async_depth blk-mq: factor out a helper blk_mq_limit_depth() blk-mq-sched: unify elevators checking for async requests block: convert nr_requests to unsigned int block: don't use strcpy to copy blockdev name blk-mq-debugfs: warn about possible deadlock blk-mq-debugfs: add missing debugfs_mutex in blk_mq_debugfs_register_hctxs() blk-mq-debugfs: remove blk_mq_debugfs_unregister_rqos() blk-mq-debugfs: make blk_mq_debugfs_register_rqos() static blk-rq-qos: fix possible debugfs_mutex deadlock blk-mq-debugfs: factor out a helper to register debugfs for all rq_qos blk-wbt: fix possible deadlock to nest pcpu_alloc_mutex under q_usage_counter ...

2026-02-05loop: revert exclusive opener loop status changeJens Axboe
This commit effectively reverts the following two commits: 2704024d83fa ("loop: add missing bd_abort_claiming in loop_set_status") 08e136ebd193 ("loop: don't change loop device under exclusive opener in loop_set_status") as there are reports of them causing issues with unmounting. As we're close to the 6.19 kernel release and the original author hasn't taken a closer look at this yet, revert them for release.

2026-02-03rbd: check for EOD after exclusive lock is ensured to be heldIlya Dryomov
Similar to commit 870611e4877e ("rbd: get snapshot context after exclusive lock is ensured to be held"), move the "beyond EOD" check into the image request state machine so that it's performed after exclusive lock is ensured to be held. This avoids various race conditions which can arise when the image is shrunk under I/O (in practice, mostly readahead). In one such scenario rbd_assert(objno < rbd_dev->object_map_size); can be triggered if a close-to-EOD read gets queued right before the shrink is initiated and the EOD check is performed against an outdated mapping_size. After the resize is done on the server side and exclusive lock is (re)acquired bringing along the new (now shrunk) object map, the read starts going through the state machine and rbd_obj_may_exist() gets invoked on an object that is out of bounds of rbd_dev->object_map array.
