8 daysproc: only bump parent nlink when registering directoriesKrzysztof Wilczyński
proc_register() increments the parent directory's link count for every entry it registers, while remove_proc_entry() and remove_proc_subtree() decrement it only when the removed entry is a directory. Regular files thus inflate the parent's count while they exist, and leak one link permanently on every create and remove cycle. For example, /proc/bus/pci/00 with twenty-two device files and no subdirectories reports nlink 24 instead of 2, and SR-IOV VF enable and disable cycles, each creating and removing the VF config space entries under /proc/bus/pci/<bus>, inflate the link count of that directory without bound. Before commit e06689bf5701 ("proc: change ->nlink under proc_subdir_lock"), the increment lived in proc_mkdir_data() and proc_create_mount_point(), and was therefore applied only to directories. Moving it into proc_register() to bring it under proc_subdir_lock dropped the S_ISDIR check. Thus, move the nlink accounting into pde_subdir_insert() and pde_erase(), only updating it for directories in both, so the link count is always changed together with the directory entry itself.

gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull NOHZ updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix a long standing TOCTOU in get_cpu_sleep_time_us() - Make the CPU offline NOHZ handling more robust by disabling NOHZ on the outgoing CPU early instead of creating unneeded state which needs to be undone. - Unify idle CPU time accounting instead of having two different accounting mechanisms. These two different mechanisms are not really independent, but the different properties can in the worst case cause that gloabl idle time can be observed going backwards. - Consolidate the idle/iowait time retrieval interfaces instead of converting back and forth between them. - Make idle interrupt time accounting more robust. The original code assumes that interrupt time accouting is enabled and therefore stops elapsing idle time while an interrupt is handled in NOHZ dyntick state. That assumption is not correct as interrupt time accounting can be disabled at compile and runtime. - Fix an accounting error between dyntick idle time and dyntick idle steal time. The stolen time is not accounted and therefore idle time becomes inaccurate. The stolen time is now accounted after the fact as there is no way to predict the steal time upfront. * tag 'timers-nohz-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched/cputime: Handle dyntick-idle steal time correctly sched/cputime: Handle idle irqtime gracefully sched/cputime: Provide get_cpu_[idle|iowait]_time_us() off-case tick/sched: Consolidate idle time fetching APIs tick/sched: Account tickless idle cputime only when tick is stopped tick/sched: Remove unused fields tick/sched: Move dyntick-idle cputime accounting to cputime code tick/sched: Remove nohz disabled special case in cputime fetch tick/sched: Unify idle cputime accounting s390/time: Prepare to stop elapsing in dynticks-idle powerpc/time: Prepare to stop elapsing in dynticks-idle sched/cputime: Correctly support generic vtime idle time sched/cputime: Remove superfluous and error prone kcpustat_field() parameter sched/idle: Handle offlining first in idle loop tick/sched: Fix TOCTOU in nohz idle time fetch

This rework addresses the major time consuming issues: - Printing a long series of zeros one by one via a format string instead of counting subsequent zeros and emitting a string constant. - Simplify and cache the conditions whether interrupts should be printed - Use a proper iteration over the interrupt descriptor xarray instead of walking and testing one by one. - Provide helper functions for the architecture code to emit the architecture specific counters - Convert the counter structure in x86 to an array, which simplifies the output and add mechanisms to suppress unused architecture interrupts, which just occupy space for nothing. Adopt the new core mechanisms. This adjusts the gdb scripts related to interrupt counter statistics to work with the new mechanisms. - Prevent a string overflow in the /proc/irq/$N/ directory name creation code. * tag 'irq-core-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/irq: Add missing 's' back to thermal event printout genirq/proc: Speed up /proc/interrupts iteration genirq/proc: Runtime size the chip name genirq: Expose irq_find_desc_at_or_after() in core code genirq: Add rcuref count to struct irq_desc genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four genirq: Calculate precision only when required genirq: Cache the condition for /proc/interrupts exposure genirq/manage: Make NMI cleanup RT safe genirq: Expose nr_irqs in core code scripts/gdb: Update x86 interrupts to the array based storage x86/irq: Move IOAPIC misrouted and PIC/APIC error counts into irq_stats x86/irq: Suppress unlikely interrupt stats by default x86/irq: Make irqstats array based genirq/proc: Utilize irq_desc::tot_count to avoid evaluation genirq/proc: Avoid formatting zero counts in /proc/interrupts x86/irq: Optimize interrupts decimals printing genirq/proc: Size interrupt directory names for 10-digit interrupt numbers

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull procfs updates from Christian Brauner: - Revamp fs/filesystems.c The file was a mess with a hand-rolled linked list in desperate need of a cleanup. The filesystems list is now RCU-ified, /proc files can be marked permanent from outside fs/proc/, and the string emitted when reading /proc/filesystems is pre-generated and cached instead of pointer-chasing and printfing entry by entry on every read. The file is read frequently because libselinux reads it and is linked into numerous frequently used programs (even ones you would not suspect, like sed!). Scalability also improves since reference maintenance on open/close is bypassed. open+read+close cycle single-threaded (ops/s): before: 442732 after: 1063462 (+140%) open+read+close cycle with 20 processes (ops/s): before: 606177 after: 3300576 (+444%) A follow-up patch adds missing unlocks in some corner cases and tidies things up. - Relax the mount visibility check for subset=pid mounts When procfs is mounted with subset=pid, all static files become unavailable and only the dynamic pid information is accessible. In that case there is no point in imposing the full mount visibility restrictions on the mounter - everything that can be hidden in procfs is already inaccessible. These restrictions prevented procfs from being mounted inside rootless containers since almost all container implementations overmount parts of procfs to hide certain directories. As part of this /proc/self/net is only shown in subset=pid mounts for CAP_NET_ADMIN, reconfiguring subset=pid is rejected, the SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE superblock flag is replaced with an FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED filesystem flag, fully visible mounts are recorded in a list, and the mount restrictions are finally documented. - Protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock in procfs Most uses of ptrace_may_access() in procfs should hold exec_update_lock to avoid TOCTOU issues with concurrent privileged execve() (like setuid binary execution). This fixes the easy cases - the owner and visibility checks and the FD link permission checks - with the gnarlier ones to follow later. * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.procfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: fix ups and tidy ups to /proc/filesystems caching proc: protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock (FD links) proc: protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock (part 1) docs: proc: add documentation about mount restrictions proc: handle subset=pid separately in userns visibility checks proc: prevent reconfiguring subset=pid proc: subset=pid: Show /proc/self/net only for CAP_NET_ADMIN fs: cache the string generated by reading /proc/filesystems sysfs: remove trivial sysfs_get_tree() wrapper fs: RCU-ify filesystems list fs: move SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE to FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED proc: allow to mark /proc files permanent outside of fs/proc/ namespace: record fully visible mounts in list

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the lock in anon_pipe_write(). anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves 21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to selftests. - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr() helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC). - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program that was merged into systemd. - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio conversions and iomap migration. Fixes: - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo() callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning. - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs, qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them; the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the minix v3 block size fails. - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API. - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg() from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID path. - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT. - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns() where the tests should SKIP. - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n. - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state. - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in validate_coredump_safety(). - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in __iomap_write_begin(). - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc. Cleanups: - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin() instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x prefixes. - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc() across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2, isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page allocator calls with kmalloc(). - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence. - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path() into start_removing_path(). - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(). - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for the O_ flags.

This patch (of 2): pagemap_pmd_range_thp() warns if a non-present PMD is not a migration entry. This became false once device-private entries at the PMD level were added. Therefore, remove the stale migration-only assertion.

2026-06-08fs/proc/task_mmu: fix hugetlb self-deadlock in pagemap_scan_pte_hole()Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)
A PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl requesting PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING on a hugetlb VMA hangs the calling thread, unkillably, as soon as the scan reaches an unpopulated part of the range: do_pagemap_scan() walk_page_range() walk_hugetlb_range() hugetlb_vma_lock_read() # take the vma lock for read ... pagemap_scan_pte_hole() # ... ->pte_hole() for a hole uffd_wp_range() change_protection() hugetlb_change_protection() hugetlb_vma_lock_write() # ... and block taking it for write walk_hugetlb_range() holds the hugetlb vma lock for read across the whole walk. A present entry goes to ->hugetlb_entry(); an unpopulated one goes to ->pte_hole(), i.e. pagemap_scan_pte_hole(). To write-protect the hole that handler calls uffd_wp_range(), which on a hugetlb VMA reaches hugetlb_change_protection() and takes the same vma lock for write. The thread then blocks in down_write() waiting for the read lock it is itself holding. The populated path avoids this: pagemap_scan_hugetlb_entry() write-protects the entry inline under the page-table lock and never enters hugetlb_change_protection(). Do the same for holes. Fault in the page table and install the uffd-wp marker directly with make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() under the page-table lock, rather than routing through uffd_wp_range(). That is the same sequence hugetlb_change_protection() runs for an unpopulated entry, minus the vma write lock -- which is safe to skip because PMD sharing is disabled on uffd-wp VMAs (hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds() runs at registration), leaving nothing for that lock to serialise against.

The partial-page check compares against HPAGE_SIZE (PMD_SIZE), which is wrong for gigantic hugetlb hstates (e.g. 1G). The walker hands the callback a huge_page_size()-sized range, never start + HPAGE_SIZE, so the comparison always declares it partial and aborts the WP. Compare against the actual hstate's page size.

Patch series "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes". These are pre-existing bug fixes that were carried at the front of the userfaultfd RWP working-set-tracking series up to v5 [1]. Per review feedback that fixes should not sit in the middle of a feature series, they are split out and sent on their own; the RWP series is reposted rebased on top of this. All six were flagged by the Sashiko AI review of the RWP series and carry Reported-by: Sashiko AI review <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>. They are independent of RWP, apply to mm-new directly, and carry Cc: stable@. 1: fs/proc/task_mmu: a missing huge_ptep_modify_prot_start() in make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() can lose hardware Dirty/Accessed updates when PAGEMAP_SCAN write-protects a hugetlb PTE. 2: fs/proc/task_mmu: pagemap_scan_hugetlb_entry() compares the range against HPAGE_SIZE rather than the hstate page size, so it never write-protects gigantic hugetlb pages. 3: fs/proc/task_mmu: PAGEMAP_SCAN with PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING over an unpopulated hugetlb range self-deadlocks -- pagemap_scan_pte_hole() calls uffd_wp_range() while walk_hugetlb_range() holds the hugetlb vma lock for read, and hugetlb_change_protection() then takes it for write. Install the marker inline instead. 4: mm/huge_memory: change_non_present_huge_pmd() drops pmd_swp_uffd_wp on a device-private PMD permission downgrade, silently losing the uffd-wp marker. 5: userfaultfd: must_wait() applies pte_write() to a locklessly read PTE without checking pte_present(), so swap/migration entries decode random offset bits and a thread can stay parked on a stale fault. 6: userfaultfd: __VMA_UFFD_FLAGS feeds VMA_UFFD_MINOR_BIT (41) to mk_vma_flags() unconditionally, an out-of-bounds write into the single-word vma_flags_t on 32-bit. Build the mask from config-gated per-mode masks so an unavailable bit is never materialised. This patch (of 6): make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() arms the UFFD_WP bit on a present HugeTLB PTE by calling huge_ptep_modify_prot_commit() with a ptent snapshot that was fetched without the corresponding huge_ptep_modify_prot_start(). The start helper is what atomically clears the entry so the kernel-owned snapshot stays consistent until the commit; without it, the hardware may set Dirty or Accessed in the live PTE between the original read and the commit, and huge_ptep_modify_prot_commit() (whose generic implementation just calls set_huge_pte_at()) then writes the stale snapshot back over the live hardware bits, losing the update. The non-hugetlb sibling make_uffd_wp_pte() does this correctly via ptep_modify_prot_start() / ptep_modify_prot_commit(). Mirror that pattern for the present-PTE branch. The migration case stays as-is -- migration entries are non-present, so there's no hardware update to race against.

2026-06-05proc: protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock (FD links)Jann Horn
proc_pid_get_link() and proc_pid_readlink() currently look up the task from the pid once, then do the ptrace access check on that task, then look up the task from the pid a second time to do the actual access. That's racy in several ways. To fix it, pass the task to the ->proc_get_link() handler, and instead of proc_fd_access_allowed(), introduce a new helper call_proc_get_link() that looks up and locks the task, does the access check, and calls ->proc_get_link().

2026-06-05VFS: use wait_var_event for waiting in d_alloc_parallel()NeilBrown
Parallel lookup starts with a call of d_alloc_parallel(). That primitive either returns a matching hashed dentry or allocates a new one in the in-lookup state and returns it to the caller. Once the caller is done with lookup, it indicates so either by call of d_{splice_alias,add}() or by call of d_done_lookup(); at that point dentry leaves the in-lookup state. If d_alloc_parallel() finds a matching in-lookup dentry, it must wait for that dentry to leave the in-lookup state, one way or another. Currently by supplying wait_queue_head to d_alloc_parallel(). If d_alloc_parallel() creates a new in-lookup dentry, the address of that wait_queue_head is stored in ->d_wait of new dentry and stays there while it's in the in-lookup; subsequent d_alloc_parallel() will wait on the queue found in the matching in-lookup dentry. Transition out of in-lookup state wakes waiters on that queue (if any). That works, but the calling conventions are inconvenient - the caller must supply wait_queue_head and make sure that it survives at least until the new in-lookup dentry leaves the in-lookup state. That amounts to boilerplate in the d_alloc_parallel() callers that are followed by a call of d_lookup_done() in the same function; in cases like nfs asynchronous unlink it gets worse than that. This patch changes d_alloc_parallel() to use wake_up_var_locked() to wake up waiters, and wait_var_event_spinlock() to wait. dentry->d_lock is used for synchronisation as it is already held and the relevant times. That eliminates the need of caller-supplied wait_queue_head, simplifying the calling conventions. Better yet, we only need one bit of information stored in dentry itself: whether there are any waiters to be woken up, and that can be easily stored in ->d_flags; ->d_wait goes away. The reason we need that bit (DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS) is that with wait_var machinery the queues are shared with all kinds of stuff and there's no way tell if any of the waiters have anything to do with our dentry; most of the time none of them will be relevant, so we need to avoid the pointless wakeups. Another benefit of the new scheme comes from the fact that wakeups have to be done outside of write-side critical areas of ->i_dir_seq; with the old scheme we need to carry the value picked from ->d_wait from __d_lookup_unhash() to the place where we actually wake the waiters up. Now we can just leave DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS in ->d_flags until we get to doing wakeups - that's done within the same ->d_lock scope, so we are fine; new bit is accessed only under ->d_lock and it's seen only on dentries with DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP in ->d_flags. __d_lookup_unhash() no longer needs to re-init ->d_lru. That was previously shared (in a union) with ->d_wait but ->d_wait is now gone so it no longer corrupts ->d_lru.

2026-06-04fs/proc/task_mmu: read proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} under per-vma lockSuren Baghdasaryan
Patch series "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} reads", v2. Use per-vma locks when reading /proc/pid/smaps and /proc/pid/numa_maps similar to /proc/pid/maps to reduce contention on central mmap_lock. One major difference between maps and smaps/numa_maps reading is that the latter executes page table walk which can't be done under RCU due to a possibility of sleeping. Therefore we drop RCU read lock before this walk while keeping the VMA locked. After the walk we retake RCU read lock, reset VMA iterator and proceed with the next VMA. The last two patches extend /proc/pid/maps test to cover /proc/pid/smaps reading during concurrent address space modification. This patch (of 3): proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps} can be read using the combination of RCU and VMA read locks, similar to proc/pid/maps. RCU is required to safely traverse the VMA tree and VMA lock stabilizes the VMA being processed and the pagetable walk.

This changes the output format of 'ERR' and 'MIS' in case there are events to the regular per CPU display format and otherwise suppresses them completely.

2026-05-26exec_state: relocate dumpable informationChristian Brauner (Amutable)
The dumpable flag captured at execve() is consulted by __ptrace_may_access() and several /proc owner / visibility checks. It lives on mm_struct today, which exit_mm() clears from the task long before the task itself is reaped. exec_state is anchored to the execve() that established the current privilege domain. CLONE_VM siblings refcount-share the parent's exec_state via copy_exec_state(); non-CLONE_VM clones allocate a fresh exec_state inheriting the parent's dumpable mode and user_ns reference via task_exec_state_copy(). execve() allocates a fresh instance (via alloc_task_exec_state() in begin_new_exec()) and installs it under task_lock + exec_update_lock with task_exec_state_replace(). init_task uses a static instance. The dumpable mode now lives on task->exec_state->dumpable. task->mm->flags no longer carries dumpability; MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK is removed, but MMF_DUMPABLE_BITS is reserved so MMF_DUMP_FILTER_* bit positions remain stable for the /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter ABI. The task->user_dumpable cache bit and its assignment in exit_mm() are removed; readers go through get_dumpable(task) directly. coredump_params gains a snapshot field cprm.dumpable, populated from get_dumpable(current) at vfs_coredump() entry, replacing the previous __get_dumpable(cprm->mm_flags) consumers in fs/coredump.c and fs/pidfs.c. The user namespace recorded at execve() is consulted by __ptrace_may_access() and by /proc/PID/* owner derivation. Move the captured user_ns onto task_exec_state, which stays attached to the task past exit_mm() and across exit_files(). bprm grows a user_ns field staged in bprm_mm_init() with the caller's user_ns, narrowed by would_dump() to the closest privileged ancestor, and consumed by exec_mmap() via alloc_task_exec_state(bprm->user_ns). free_bprm() releases the staging reference. mm_struct loses ->user_ns entirely. Initializers in init-mm, efi_mm, and the implicit one in mm_init()/dup_mm()/mm_alloc() are removed; __mmdrop() drops the matching put_user_ns(). The kthread_use_mm() WARN_ON_ONCE(!mm->user_ns) is no longer meaningful and goes too.

2026-05-11fs: move SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE to FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTEDChristian Brauner
Whether a filesystem's mounts need to undergo a visibility check in user namespaces is a static property of the filesystem type, not a runtime property of each superblock instance. Both proc and sysfs always set SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE on their superblocks unconditionally (sysfs does so on first creation, and subsequent mounts reuse the same superblock). Move this flag from sb->s_iflags (SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE) to file_system_type->fs_flags (FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED) so the intent is expressed at the filesystem type level where it belongs. All check sites are updated to test sb->s_type->fs_flags instead of sb->s_iflags. The SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV flags remain on the superblock as they are runtime properties set during fill_super.

2026-05-11proc: allow to mark /proc files permanent outside of fs/proc/Alexey Dobriyan
Add proc_make_permanent() function to mark PDE as permanent to speed up open/read/close (one alloc/free and lock/unlock less). Enable it for built-in code and for compiled-in modules. This function becomes nop magically in modular code. Note, note, note! If built-in code creates and deletes PDEs dynamically (not in init hook), then proc_make_permanent() must not be used. It is intended for simple code: static int __init xxx_module_init(void) { g_pde = proc_create_single(); proc_make_permanent(g_pde); return 0; } static void __exit xxx_module_exit(void) { remove_proc_entry(g_pde); } If module is built-in then exit hook never executed and PDE is permanent so it is OK to mark it as such. If module is module then rmmod will yank PDE, but proc_make_permanent() is nop and core /proc code will do everything right.

I can't do better than to quote Christoph: "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code. Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead" - "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need - "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt) Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself - "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC" (Coiby Xu) Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc - "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks" (Joseph Qi) Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!) * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (127 commits) ocfs2: validate group add input before caching ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan ocfs2: fix listxattr handling when the buffer is full doc: watchdog: fix typos etc update Sean's email address ocfs2: use get_random_u32() where appropriate ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion ocfs2: remove redundant l_next_free_rec check in __ocfs2_find_path() ocfs2: validate extent block list fields during block read ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend .get_maintainer.ignore: add Askar ocfs2: validate bg_list extent bounds in discontig groups checkpatch: exclude forward declarations of const structs tools/accounting: handle truncated taskstats netlink messages taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner: "For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long, which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field for an inode. This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64. This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but 32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment. The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out carefully. With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures.

2026-04-08mm: add gpu active/reclaim per-node stat counters (v2)Dave Airlie
While discussing memcg intergration with gpu memory allocations, it was pointed out that there was no numa/system counters for GPU memory allocations. With more integrated memory GPU server systems turning up, and more requirements for memory tracking it seems we should start closing the gap. Add two counters to track GPU per-node system memory allocations. The first is currently allocated to GPU objects, and the second is for memory that is stored in GPU page pools that can be reclaimed, by the shrinker.

2026-03-06treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64Jeff Layton
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

2026-03-06fs/proc: Don't lock root inode when creating "self" and "thread-self"NeilBrown
proc_setup_self() and proc_setup_thread_self() are only called from proc_fill_super() which is before the filesystem is "live". So there is no need to lock the root directory when adding "self" and "thread-self". This is clear from simple_fill_super() which provides similar functionality for other filesystems and does not lock anything. The locking is not harmful, except that it may be confusing to a reader. As part of an effort to centralise all locking for directories for name-based operations (prior to changing some locking rules), it is simplest to remove the locking here.

The previous drop-and-reacquire pattern was fragile and failed to clean up mount propagation links if the real rootfs was a shared or dependent mount - Fix /proc mount iteration where m->index wasn't updated when m->show() overflows, causing a restart to repeatedly show the same mount entry in a rapidly expanding mount table - Return EFSCORRUPTED instead of ENOSPC in minix_new_inode() when the inode number is out of range - Fix unshare(2) when CLONE_NEWNS is set and current->fs isn't shared. copy_mnt_ns() received the live fs_struct so if a subsequent namespace creation failed the rollback would leave pwd and root pointing to detached mounts.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
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>

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>
