The 'compound_head' field in the 'struct page' encodes whether the page is
a tail and where to locate the head page. Bit 0 is set if the page is a
tail, and the remaining bits in the field point to the head page.
As preparation for changing how the field encodes information about the
head page, rename the field to 'compound_info'.

Add kfence.fault parameter to control the behavior when a KFENCE error is
detected (similar in spirit to kasan.fault=<mode>).
The supported modes for kfence.fault=<mode> are:
- report: print the error report and continue (default).
- oops: print the error report and oops.
- panic: print the error report and panic.
In particular, the 'oops' mode offers a trade-off between no mitigation
on report and panicking outright (if panic_on_oops is not set).

Eliminate the `kho_finalize()` function and its associated state from the
KHO subsystem. The transition to a radix tree for memory tracking makes
the explicit "finalize" state and its serialization step obsolete.
Remove the `kho_finalize()` and `kho_finalized()` APIs and their stub
implementations. Update KHO client code and the debugfs interface to no
longer call or depend on the `kho_finalize()` mechanism.
Complete the move towards a stateless KHO, simplifying the overall design
by removing unnecessary state management.

Patch series "mm: zswap: add per-memcg stat for incompressible pages", v3.
In containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is contributing
incompressible pages to zswap is essential for effective resource
management. This series adds a new per-memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track
incompressible pages, along with a selftest.
This patch (of 2):
The global zswap_stored_incompressible_pages counter was added in commit
dca4437a5861 ("mm/zswap: store <PAGE_SIZE compression failed page as-is")
to track how many pages are stored in raw (uncompressed) form in zswap.
However, in containerized environments, knowing which cgroup is
contributing incompressible pages is essential for effective resource
management [1].
Add a new memcg stat 'zswap_incomp' to track incompressible pages per
cgroup. This helps administrators and orchestrators to:
1. Identify workloads that produce incompressible data (e.g., encrypted
data, already-compressed media, random data) and may not benefit from
zswap.
2. Make informed decisions about workload placement - moving
incompressible workloads to nodes with larger swap backing devices
rather than relying on zswap.
3. Debug zswap efficiency issues at the cgroup level without needing to
correlate global stats with individual cgroups.
While the compression ratio can be estimated from existing stats (zswap /
zswapped * PAGE_SIZE), this doesn't distinguish between "uniformly poor
compression" and "a few completely incompressible pages mixed with highly
compressible ones". The zswap_incomp stat provides direct visibility into
the latter case.

Dynamic energy performance preference changes the EPP profile based on
whether the machine is running on AC or DC power.
A notification chain from the power supply core is used to adjust EPP
values on plug in or plug out events.
When enabled, the driver exposes a sysfs toggle for dynamic EPP, blocks
manual writes to energy_performance_preference while it "owns" the EPP
updates.
For non-server systems:
* the default EPP for AC mode is `performance`.
* the default EPP for DC mode is `balance_performance`.
For server systems dynamic EPP is mostly a no-op.

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().

When a layout conflict triggers a recall, enforcing a timeout is
necessary to prevent excessive nfsd threads from being blocked in
__break_lease ensuring the server continues servicing incoming
requests efficiently.
This patch introduces a new function to lease_manager_operations:
lm_breaker_timedout: Invoked when a lease recall times out and is
about to be disposed of. This function enables the lease manager
to inform the caller whether the file_lease should remain on the
flc_list or be disposed of.
For the NFSD lease manager, this function now handles layout recall
timeouts. If the layout type supports fencing and the client has not
been fenced, a fence operation is triggered to prevent the client
from accessing the block device.
While the fencing operation is in progress, the conflicting file_lease
remains on the flc_list until fencing is complete. This guarantees
that no other clients can access the file, and the client with
exclusive access is properly blocked before disposal.

The current documentation implies that a hardlockup is strictly defined as
looping for "more than 10 seconds." However, the detection mechanism is
periodic (based on `watchdog_thresh`), meaning detection time varies
significantly depending on when the lockup occurs relative to the NMI perf
event.
Update the definition to remove the strict "more than 10 seconds"
constraint in the introduction and defer details to the Implementation
section.
Additionally, add a "Detection Overhead" section illustrating the Best
Case (~6s) and Worst Case (~20s) detection scenarios to provide
administrators with a clearer understanding of the watchdog's latency.

Currently, the hung_task_detect_count sysctl provides a cumulative count
of hung tasks since boot. In long-running, high-availability
environments, this counter may lose its utility if it cannot be reset once
an incident has been resolved. Furthermore, the previous implementation
relied upon implicit ordering, which could not strictly guarantee that
diagnostic metadata published by one CPU was visible to the panic logic on
another.
This patch introduces the capability to reset the detection count by
writing "0" to the hung_task_detect_count sysctl. The proc_handler logic
has been updated to validate this input and atomically reset the counter.
The synchronisation of sysctl_hung_task_detect_count relies upon a
transactional model to ensure the integrity of the detection counter
against concurrent resets from userspace. The application of
atomic_long_read_acquire() and atomic_long_cmpxchg_release() is correct
and provides the following guarantees:
1. Prevention of Load-Store Reordering via Acquire Semantics By
utilising atomic_long_read_acquire() to snapshot the counter
before initiating the task traversal, we establish a strict
memory barrier. This prevents the compiler or hardware from
reordering the initial load to a point later in the scan. Without
this "acquire" barrier, a delayed load could potentially read a
"0" value resulting from a userspace reset that occurred
mid-scan. This would lead to the subsequent cmpxchg succeeding
erroneously, thereby overwriting the user's reset with stale
increment data.
2. Atomicity of the "Commit" Phase via Release Semantics The
atomic_long_cmpxchg_release() serves as the transaction's commit
point. The "release" barrier ensures that all diagnostic
recordings and task-state observations made during the scan are
globally visible before the counter is incremented.
3. Race Condition Resolution This pairing effectively detects any
"out-of-band" reset of the counter. If
sysctl_hung_task_detect_count is modified via the procfs
interface during the scan, the final cmpxchg will detect the
discrepancy between the current value and the "acquire" snapshot.
Consequently, the update will fail, ensuring that a reset command
from the administrator is prioritised over a scan that may have
been invalidated by that very reset.

The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was
made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the
assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially
compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
Over the years it turned out that this approach has major flaws:
- Long delays between watchdog invocations can result in wrap arounds
of the reference clocksource
- Scalability of the reference clocksource readout can degrade on large
multi-socket systems due to interconnect congestion
This was addressed with various heuristics which degraded the accuracy of
the watchdog to the point that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on
older hardware which exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware
manipulating the TSC to hide SMI time.
To address this and bring back sanity to the watchdog, rewrite the code
completely with a different approach:
1) Restrict the validation against a reference clocksource to the boot
CPU, which is usually the CPU/Socket closest to the legacy block which
contains the reference source (HPET/ACPI-PM timer). Validate that the
reference readout is within a bound latency so that the actual
comparison against the TSC stays within 500ppm as long as the clocks
are stable.
2) Compare the TSCs of the other CPUs in a round robin fashion against
the boot CPU in the same way the TSC synchronization on CPU hotplug
works. This still can suffer from delayed reaction of the remote CPU
to the SMP function call and the latency of the control variable cache
line. But this latency is not affecting correctness. It only affects
the accuracy. With low contention the readout latency is in the low
nanoseconds range, which detects even slight skews between CPUs. Under
high contention this becomes obviously less accurate, but still
detects slow skews reliably as it solely relies on subsequent readouts
being monotonically increasing. It just can take slightly longer to
detect the issue.
3) Rewrite the watchdog test so it tests the various mechanisms one by
one and validating the result against the expectation.

The EMULATE mode of vsyscall maps the vsyscall page with a high kernel
address directly into user address space. Reading the vsyscall page in
EMULATE mode would cause LASS to trigger a #GP.
Fixing the LASS violation in EMULATE mode would require complex
instruction decoding because the resulting #GP does include the
necessary error information, and the vsyscall address is not
readily available in the RIP.
The EMULATE mode has been deprecated since 2022 and can only be enabled
using the command line parameter vsyscall=emulate. See commit
bf00745e7791 ("x86/vsyscall: Remove CONFIG_LEGACY_VSYSCALL_EMULATE") for
details. At this point, no one is expected to be using this insecure
mode. The rare usages that need it obviously do not care about security.
Disable LASS when EMULATE mode is requested to avoid breaking legacy
user software. Also, update the vsyscall documentation to reflect this.
LASS will only be supported if vsyscall mode is set to XONLY (default)
or NONE.

IMA computes hashes using the crypto_shash or crypto_ahash API. The
latter is used only when ima.ahash_minsize is set on the command line,
and its purpose is ostensibly to make the hash computation faster.
However, going off the CPU to a crypto engine and back again is actually
quite slow, especially compared with the acceleration that is built into
modern CPUs and the kernel now enables by default for most algorithms.
Typical performance results for SHA-256 on a modern platform can be
found at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250615184638.GA1480@sol/
Partly for this reason, several other kernel subsystems have already
dropped support for the crypto_ahash API.
The other problem with crypto_ahash is that bugs are also common, not
just in the underlying drivers, but also in the code using it, since it
is very difficult to use correctly. Just from a quick review, here are
some of the bugs I noticed in IMA's ahash code:
- [Use after free] ima_alloc_atfm() isn't thread-safe and can trigger a
use-after-free if multiple threads try to initialize the global
ima_ahash_tfm at the same time.
- [Deadlock] If only one buffer is allocated and there is an error
reading from the file, then ahash_wait() is executed twice, causing a
deadlock in wait_for_completion().
- [Crash or incorrect hash computed] calc_buffer_ahash_atfm() is
sometimes passed stack buffers which can be vmalloc addresses, but it
puts them in a scatterlist assuming they are linear addresses. This
causes the hashing to be done on the wrong physical address.
- [Truncation to 32-bit length] ima_alloc_pages() incorrectly assumes an
loff_t value fits in an unsigned long. calc_buffer_ahash_atfm()
incorrectly assumes that a loff_t value fits in an unsigned int.
So, not exactly a great track record so far, even disregarding driver
bugs which are an even larger problem. Fortunately, in practice it's
unlikely that many users are actually setting the ima.ahash_minsize
kernel command-line parameter which enables this code. However, given
that this code is almost certainly no longer useful (if it ever was),
let's just remove it instead of attempting to fix all these issues.

When no H2G transport is loaded, vsock currently routes all CIDs to the
G2H transport (commit 65b422d9b61b ("vsock: forward all packets to the
host when no H2G is registered"). Extend that existing behavior: when
an H2G transport is loaded but does not claim a given CID, the
connection falls back to G2H in the same way.
This matters in environments like Nitro Enclaves, where an instance may
run nested VMs via vhost-vsock (H2G) while also needing to reach sibling
enclaves at higher CIDs through virtio-vsock-pci (G2H). With the old
code, any CID > 2 was unconditionally routed to H2G when vhost was
loaded, making those enclaves unreachable without setting
VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST explicitly on every connect.
Requiring every application to set VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST creates friction:
tools like socat, iperf, and others would all need to learn about it.
The flag was introduced 6 years ago and I am still not aware of any tool
that supports it. Even if there was support, it would be cumbersome to
use. The most natural experience is a single CID address space where H2G
only wins for CIDs it actually owns, and everything else falls through to
G2H, extending the behavior that already exists when H2G is absent.
To give user space at least a hint that the kernel applied this logic,
automatically set the VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST on the remote address so it
can determine the path taken via getpeername().
Add a per-network namespace sysctl net.vsock.g2h_fallback (default 1).
At 0 it forces strict routing: H2G always wins for CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST,
or ENODEV if H2G is not loaded.

Some USB devices incorrectly report bNumConfigurations as 0 in their
device descriptor, which causes the USB core to reject them during
enumeration.
logs:
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 1-2: no configurations
usb 1-2: can't read configurations, error -22
However, these devices actually work correctly when
treated as having a single configuration.
Add a new quirk USB_QUIRK_FORCE_ONE_CONFIG to handle such devices.
When this quirk is set, assume the device has 1 configuration instead
of failing with -EINVAL.
This quirk is applied to the device with VID:PID 5131:2007 which
exhibits this behavior.
