2026-03-31bpf: Clarify BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP behavior for bpf_ringbuf_discard()Eyal Birger
Clarify bpf_ringbuf_discard() documentation for BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP. Discarded ring buffer records are still left in the ring buffer and are only skipped when user space consumes them. This can matter when BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP is used: a later submit relying on adaptive wakeup might not wake the consumer, because the discarded record still needs to be consumed first. Scenario: epoll_wait(rb_fd); // blocks rec = bpf_ringbuf_reserve(&rb, ...); bpf_ringbuf_discard(rec, BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP); rec = bpf_ringbuf_reserve(&rb, ...); bpf_ringbuf_submit(rec, 0); // valid record, but no wakeup Document this in bpf_ringbuf_discard() to make the interaction between discarded records, user-space consumption, and adaptive wakeups explicit.

2026-03-31selftests/cpu-hotplug: Fix check for cpu hotplug not supportedDmytro Maluka
If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* directories are still populated, so the test fails to correctly detect that CPU hotplug is not supported. Fix this by checking for the presence of 'online' files in those directories instead. The 'online' node is created for the given CPU if and only if this CPU supports hotplug. So if none of the CPUs have 'online' nodes, it means CPU hotplug is not supported.

2026-03-31selftests/mqueue: Fix incorrectly named fileSimon Liebold
Commit 85506aca2eb4 ("selftests/mqueue: Set timeout to 180 seconds") intended to increase the timeout for mq_perf_tests from the default kselftest limit of 45 seconds to 180 seconds. Unfortunately, the file storing this information was incorrectly named `setting` instead of `settings`, causing the kselftest runner not to pick up the limit and keep using the default 45 seconds limit. Fix this by renaming it to `settings` to ensure that the kselftest runner uses the increased timeout of 180 seconds for this test.

2026-03-31selftests: Use ktap helpers for runner.shHangbin Liu
Instead of manually writing ktap messages, we should use the formal ktap helpers in runner.sh. Brendan did some work in commit d9e6269e3303 ("selftests/run_kselftest.sh: exit with error if tests fail") to make run_kselftest.sh exit with the correct return value. However, the output does not include the total results, such as how many tests passed or failed. Let’s convert all manually printed messages in runner.sh to use the formal ktap helpers. Here are what I changed: 1. Move TAP header from runner.sh to run_kselftest.sh, since run_kselftest.sh is the only caller of run_many(). 2. In run_kselftest.sh, call run_many() in main process to count the pass/fail numbers. 3. In run_kselftest.sh, do not generate kselftest_failures_file. Just use ktap_print_totals to report the result. 4. In runner.sh run_one(), get the return value and use ktap helpers for all pass/fail reporting. This allows counting pass/fail numbers in the main process. 5. In runner.sh run_in_netns(), also return the correct rc, so we can count results during wait. After the change, the printed result looks like: not ok 4 4 selftests: clone3: clone3_cap_checkpoint_restore # exit=1 # Totals: pass:3 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 ]# echo $? 1 Fixed change log commit description errors and long lines: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> Tested-by: Brendan Jackman <jackmanb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Brendan Jackman <jackmanb@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260225010833.11301-1-liuhangbin@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>

2026-03-31rv/rvgen: use context managers for file operationsWander Lairson Costa
Replace manual file open and close operations with context managers throughout the rvgen codebase. The previous implementation used explicit open() and close() calls, which could lead to resource leaks if exceptions occurred between opening and closing the file handles. This change affects three file operations: reading DOT specification files in the automata parser, reading template files in the generator base class, and writing generated monitor files. All now use the with statement to ensure proper resource cleanup even in error conditions. Context managers provide automatic cleanup through the with statement, which guarantees that file handles are closed when the with block exits regardless of whether an exception occurred. This follows PEP 343 recommendations and is the standard Python idiom for resource management. The change also reduces code verbosity while improving safety and maintainability.

Remove unnecessary semicolons from Python code in the rvgen tool. Python does not require semicolons to terminate statements, and their presence goes against PEP 8 style guidelines.

2026-03-31rv/rvgen: replace __len__() calls with len()Wander Lairson Costa
Replace all direct calls to the __len__() dunder method with the idiomatic len() built-in function across the rvgen codebase. This change eliminates a Python anti-pattern where dunder methods are called directly instead of using their corresponding built-in functions. The changes affect nine instances across two files. In automata.py, the empty string check is further improved by using truthiness testing instead of explicit length comparison. In dot2c.py, all length checks in the get_minimun_type, __get_max_strlen_of_states, and get_aut_init_function methods now use the standard len() function. Additionally, spacing around keyword arguments has been corrected to follow PEP 8 guidelines. Direct calls to dunder methods like __len__() are discouraged in Python because they bypass the language's abstraction layer and reduce code readability. Using len() provides the same functionality while adhering to Python community standards and making the code more familiar to Python developers.

2026-03-31rv/rvgen: replace % string formatting with f-stringsWander Lairson Costa
Replace all instances of percent-style string formatting with f-strings across the rvgen codebase. This modernizes the string formatting to use Python 3.6+ features, providing clearer and more maintainable code while improving runtime performance. The conversion handles all formatting cases including simple variable substitution, multi-variable formatting, and complex format specifiers. Dynamic width formatting is converted from "%*s" to "{var:>{width}}" using proper alignment syntax. Template strings for generated C code properly escape braces using double-brace syntax to produce literal braces in the output. F-strings provide approximately 2x performance improvement over percent formatting and are the recommended approach in modern Python.

2026-03-31rv/rvgen: remove bare except clauses in generatorWander Lairson Costa
Remove bare except clauses from the generator module that were catching all exceptions including KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit. This follows the same exception handling improvements made in the previous AutomataError commit and addresses PEP 8 violations. The bare except clause in __create_directory was silently catching and ignoring all errors after printing a message, which could mask serious issues. For __write_file, the bare except created a critical bug where the file variable could remain undefined if open() failed, causing a NameError when attempting to write to or close the file. These methods now let OSError propagate naturally, allowing callers to handle file system errors appropriately. This provides clearer error reporting and allows Python's exception handling to show complete stack traces with proper error types and locations.

2026-03-31rv/rvgen: introduce AutomataError exception classWander Lairson Costa
Replace the generic except Exception block with a custom AutomataError class that inherits from Exception. This provides more precise exception handling for automata parsing and validation errors while avoiding overly broad exception catches that could mask programming errors like SyntaxError or TypeError. The AutomataError class is raised when DOT file processing fails due to invalid format, I/O errors, or malformed automaton definitions. The main entry point catches this specific exception and provides a user-friendly error message to stderr before exiting. Also, replace generic exceptions raising in HA and LTL with AutomataError.

2026-03-31rv: Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automatonGabriele Monaco
The opid monitor validates that wakeup and need_resched events only occur with interrupts and preemption disabled by following the preemptirq tracepoints. As reported in [1], those tracepoints might be inaccurate in some situations (e.g. NMIs). Since the monitor doesn't validate other ordering properties, remove the dependency on preemptirq tracepoints and convert the monitor to a hybrid automaton to validate the constraint during event handling. This makes the monitor more robust by also removing the workaround for interrupts missing the preemption tracepoints, which was working on PREEMPT_RT only and allows the monitor to be built on kernels without the preemptirqs tracepoints.

2026-03-30x86-64: rename misleadingly named '__copy_user_nocache()' functionLinus Torvalds
This function was a masterclass in bad naming, for various historical reasons. It claimed to be a non-cached user copy. It is literally _neither_ of those things. It's a specialty memory copy routine that uses non-temporal stores for the destination (but not the source), and that does exception handling for both source and destination accesses. Also note that while it works for unaligned targets, any unaligned parts (whether at beginning or end) will not use non-temporal stores, since only words and quadwords can be non-temporal on x86. The exception handling means that it _can_ be used for user space accesses, but not on its own - it needs all the normal "start user space access" logic around it. But typically the user space access would be the source, not the non-temporal destination. That was the original intention of this, where the destination was some fragile persistent memory target that needed non-temporal stores in order to catch machine check exceptions synchronously and deal with them gracefully. Thus that non-descriptive name: one use case was to copy from user space into a non-cached kernel buffer. However, the existing users are a mix of that intended use-case, and a couple of random drivers that just did this as a performance tweak. Some of those random drivers then actively misused the user copying version (with STAC/CLAC and all) to do kernel copies without ever even caring about the exception handling, _just_ for the non-temporal destination. Rename it as a first small step to actually make it halfway sane, and change the prototype to be more normal: it doesn't take a user pointer unless the caller has done the proper conversion, and the argument size is the full size_t (it still won't actually copy more than 4GB in one go, but there's also no reason to silently truncate the size argument in the caller). Finally, use this now sanely named function in the NTB code, which mis-used a user copy version (with STAC/CLAC and all) of this interface despite it not actually being a user copy at all.

The initial draft of this patch was generated by version 2.1.16 of the Claude AI/LLM, but trained and configured for use by my employer, and prompted to refer to Linux-kernel source code. This initial draft failed to provide a forward reference to ref_scale_cleanup(), passed zero to torture_shutdown_init() for an unwelcome insta-shutdown, and failed to pass the kvm.sh --duration argument in as a refscale module parameter. On the other hand, it did catch the need to NULL main_task on the post-test self-shutdown code path, which I might well have forgotten to do.

2026-03-30torture: Print informative message for test without recheck filePaul E. McKenney
If a type of torture test lacks a recheck file, a bash diagnostic is printed, which looks like a torture-test bug.

This commit adds a trivial textbook implementation of preemptible RCU to rcutorture ("torture_type=trivial-preempt"), similar in spirit to the existing "torture_type=trivial" textbook implementation of non-preemptible RCU. Neither trivial RCU implementation has any value for production use, and are intended only to keep Paul honest in his introductory writings and presentations.

Add a test that creates a 3-CPU kick_wait cycle (A->B->C->A).

2026-03-30rtla: Fix build without libbpf headerTomas Glozar
rtla supports building without libbpf. However, BPF actions patchset [1] adds an include of bpf/libbpf.h into timerlat_bpf.h, which breaks build on systems that don't have libbpf headers installed. This is a leftover from a draft version of the patchset where timerlat_bpf_set_action() (which takes a struct bpf_program * argument) was defined in the header. timerlat_bpf.c already includes bpf/libbpf.h via timerlat.skel.h when libbpf is present. Remove the redundant include to fix build on systems without libbpf headers.

2026-03-29Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc6.fixes' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - Fix netfs_limit_iter() hitting BUG() when an ITER_KVEC iterator reaches it via core dump writes to 9P filesystems. Add ITER_KVEC handling following the same pattern as the existing ITER_BVEC code. - Fix a NULL pointer dereference in the netfs unbuffered write retry path when the filesystem (e.g., 9P) doesn't set the prepare_write operation. - Clear I_DIRTY_TIME in sync_lazytime for filesystems implementing ->sync_lazytime. Without this the flag stays set and may cause additional unnecessary calls during inode deactivation. - Increase tmpfs size in mount_setattr selftests. A recent commit bumped the ext4 image size to 2 GB but didn't adjust the tmpfs backing store, so mkfs.ext4 fails with ENOSPC writing metadata. - Fix an invalid folio access in iomap when i_blkbits matches the folio size but differs from the I/O granularity. The cur_folio pointer would not get invalidated and iomap_read_end() would still be called on it despite the IO helper owning it. - Fix hash_name() docstring. - Fix read abandonment during netfs retry where the subreq variable used for abandonment could be uninitialized on the first pass or point to a deleted subrequest on later passes. - Don't block sync for filesystems with no data integrity guarantees. Add a SB_I_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY superblock flag replacing the per-inode AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mapping flag so sync kicks off writeback but doesn't wait for flusher threads. This fixes a suspend-to-RAM hang on fuse-overlayfs where the flusher thread blocks when the fuse daemon is frozen. - Fix a lockdep splat in iomap when reads fail. iomap_read_end_io() invokes fserror_report() which calls igrab() taking i_lock in hardirq context while i_lock is normally held with interrupts enabled. Kick failed read handling to a workqueue. - Remove the redundant netfs_io_stream::front member and use stream->subrequests.next instead, fixing a potential issue in the direct write code path. * tag 'vfs-7.0-rc6.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: netfs: Fix the handling of stream->front by removing it iomap: fix lockdep complaint when reads fail writeback: don't block sync for filesystems with no data integrity guarantees netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry vfs: fix docstring of hash_name() iomap: fix invalid folio access when i_blkbits differs from I/O granularity selftests/mount_setattr: increase tmpfs size for idmapped mount tests fs: clear I_DIRTY_TIME in sync_lazytime netfs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in netfs_unbuffered_write() on retry netfs: Fix kernel BUG in netfs_limit_iter() for ITER_KVEC iterators
2026-03-29selftests: drv-net: xdp: Add rss_hash metadata testsChris J Arges
This test loads xdp_metadata.bpf which calls bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() on incoming packets. The metadata from that packet is then sent to a BPF map for validation. It borrows structure from xdp.py, reusing common functions. The test checks the device's xdp-rx-metadata-features via netlink before running and skips on devices that do not advertise hash support. This can be run on veth devices as well as real hardware. The test is fairly simple and just verifies that a TCP or UDP packet can be identified as an L4 flow. This minimal test also passes if run on a veth device.
