2026-06-05iomap: teach iomap to read files with fsverityAndrey Albershteyn
Obtain fsverity info for folios with file data and fsverity metadata. Filesystem can pass vi down to ioend and then to fsverity for verification. This is different from other filesystems ext4, f2fs, btrfs supporting fsverity, these filesystems don't need fsverity_info for reading fsverity metadata. While reading merkle tree iomap requires fsverity info to synthesize hashes for zeroed data block. fsverity metadata has two kinds of holes - ones in merkle tree and one after fsverity descriptor. Merkle tree holes are blocks full of hashes of zeroed data blocks. These are not stored on the disk but synthesized on the fly. This saves a bit of space for sparse files. Due to this iomap also need to lookup fsverity_info for folios with fsverity metadata. ->vi has a hash of the zeroed data block which will be used to fill the merkle tree block. The hole past descriptor is interpreted as end of metadata region. As we don't have EOF here we use this hole as an indication that rest of the folio is empty. This patch marks rest of the folio beyond fsverity descriptor as uptodate. For file data, fsverity needs to verify consistency of the whole file against the root hash, hashes of holes are included in the merkle tree. Verify them too. Issue reading of fsverity merkle tree on the fsverity inodes. This way metadata will be available at I/O completion time. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

2026-06-05iomap: introduce IOMAP_F_FSVERITY and teach writeback to handle fsverityAndrey Albershteyn
This flag indicates that I/O is for fsverity metadata. In the write path skip i_size check and i_size updates as metadata is past EOF. In writeback don't update i_size and continue writeback if even folio is beyond EOF. In read path don't zero fsverity folios, again they are past EOF. The iomap_block_needs_zeroing() is also called from write path. For folios of larger order we don't want to zero out pages in the folio as these could contain other merkle tree blocks. For fsverity, filesystem will request to read PAGE_SIZE memory regions. For data folios, iomap will zero the rest of the folio for anything which is beyond EOF. We don't want this for fsverity folios. Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says: Changed IOMAP_F_FSVERITY from (1U << 10) to (1U << 11) to avoid colliding with IOMAP_F_ZERO_TAIL, which already uses (1U << 10).

2026-06-05fsverity: generate and store zero-block hashAndrey Albershteyn
Compute the hash of one filesystem block's worth of zeros. A filesystem implementation can decide to elide merkle tree blocks containing only this hash and synthesize the contents at read time. Let's pretend that there's a file containing 131 data block and whose merkle tree looks roughly like this: root +--leaf0 | +--data0 | +--data1 | +--... | `--data128 `--leaf1 +--data129 +--data130 `--data131 If data[0-128] are sparse holes, then leaf0 will contain a repeating sequence of @zero_digest. Therefore, leaf0 need not be written to disk because its contents can be synthesized. A subsequent xfs patch will use this to reduce the size of the merkle tree when dealing with sparse gold master disk images and the like. Note that this works only on the first-level (data holes). fsverity doesn't store/generate zero_digest for any higher levels. Add a helper to pre-fill folio with hashes of empty blocks. This will be used by iomap to synthesize blocks full of zero hashes on the fly. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2026-06-05netfilter: nf_conntrack_helper: dynamically allocate struct nf_conntrack_helperPablo Neira Ayuso
Adapt all existing helpers to use a modified version of nf_ct_helper_init(), to dynamically allocate struct nf_conntrack_helper. Allocate expect_policy[] built-in into the helper to ensure this area is reachable after helper removal since a follow up patch adds refcount to track use of the nf_conntrack_helper structure from packet path so it remains around until last reference from ct helper extension is dropped. Export __nf_conntrack_helper_register() which allows to register nfnetlink_cthelper dynamically allocated helper. Adapt nfnetlink_cthelper to use the built-in expect_policy[]. This is a preparation patch to add packet path refcounting to helpers. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2026-06-05io_uring/net: inherit IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE across bundle recv retriesClément Léger
When a bundle recv retries inside io_recv_finish(), the merge logic OR the saved cflags from the previous iteration with the cflags returned by the new iteration: cflags = req->cqe.flags | (cflags & CQE_F_MASK); Bits listed in CQE_F_MASK are inherited from the new iteration, and all other bits (notably IORING_CQE_F_BUFFER and the buffer ID) come from the saved cflags. Before this change CQE_F_MASK covered only IORING_CQE_F_SOCK_NONEMPTY and IORING_CQE_F_MORE. When using provided buffer rings (IOU_PBUF_RING_INC) with incremental mode, and bundle recv, io_kbuf_inc_commit() can leave the head ring entry partially consumed, __io_put_kbufs() then sets IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE on the returned cflags so userspace knows the buffer ID will be reused for subsequent completions. Because IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE was not in CQE_F_MASK, the merge above silently dropped it whenever the final retry iteration partially consumed the buffer, and the subsequent req->cqe.flags = cflags & ~CQE_F_MASK save would have left a stale IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE in the carried-over cflags had one been present. Userspace would then wrongfully advance it ring head past an entry the kernel still uses. Add IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE to CQE_F_MASK so it is both inherited from the new iteration into the user-visible CQE and stripped from the saved cflags between iterations.

2026-06-05xfrm: espintcp: do not reuse an in-progress partial sendWyatt Feng
espintcp keeps a single in-flight transmit in ctx->partial. Before building a new sk_msg, espintcp_sendmsg() first tries to flush that state through espintcp_push_msgs(). For blocking callers, espintcp_push_msgs() may return success even when the previous partial send is still pending. espintcp_sendmsg() would then reinitialize emsg->skmsg and reuse ctx->partial while the old transfer still owns that state. Do not rebuild the send message when ctx->partial is still in progress. If espintcp_push_msgs() returns with emsg->len still set, fail the new send instead of overwriting the live partial state. This is a memory-safety fix: reusing the live partial-send state can leave a stale offset attached to a new sk_msg and lead to an out-of- bounds read in the send path. tcp_sendmsg_locked() already handles waiting for send buffer memory, so the fix here is just to preserve espintcp's one-message-at-a-time transmit state.

2026-06-05ALSA: usb-audio: qcom: Initialize offload control return valueCássio Gabriel
snd_usb_offload_create_ctl() returns ret after walking the USB PCM list, but ret is only assigned after a playback stream passes the endpoint and PCM-index filters. If all playback streams are skipped, for example because there is no playback endpoint or because all PCM indexes exceed the 0xff control range, the function returns an uninitialized stack value. Initialize ret to 0 so the no-control-created path returns deterministic success, while preserving the existing negative error return when snd_ctl_add() fails.

2026-06-05netfilter: cttimeout: detach dataplane timeout policy and repurpose refcountPablo Neira Ayuso
Add a refcount for struct nf_ct_timeout which is used by ct extension to set the custom ct timeout policy, this tells us that the ct timeout is being used by a conntrack entry. When the last conntrack entry drops the refcount on the ct timeout, the ct timeout is released. Remove the refcount for control plane which controls if the ruleset refers to the timeout policy. After this update, it is possible to remove the ct timeout policy from nfnetlink_cttimeout immediately. This is for simplicity not to handle two refcounts on a single object. Remove nf_queue_nf_hook_drop(): a packet sitting in nfqueue will just hold a reference to the nf_ct_timeout object until packet is reinjected, since this is part of the ct extension, this will be released by the time the conntrack is freed. nf_ct_untimeout() is still called to clean up in a best effort basis: the ct timeout on existing entries gets removed when the ct timeout goes away, but as long as the iptables ruleset still refers to the ct timeout through a template, new conntracks may keep attaching it and extend its lifetime until the rule is removed. nf_ct_untimeout() is not called anymore from module removal path, this is unlikely to find timeouts give module refcount is bumped, and the new refcount already tracks the ct timeout policy use so it is released when unused.

2026-06-05netfilter: synproxy: protect nf_ct_seqadj_init() with conntrack lockFernando Fernandez Mancera
nf_ct_seqadj_init() is called without holding the ct lock. This can race with nf_ct_seq_adjust() when a connection is in CLOSE state due to an RST or connection reopening. In addition for SYN_RECV state, concurrent processing of packets can trigger nf_ct_seq_adjust() too. These situations create a read/write data race. As synproxy is the only user of nf_ct_seqadj_init() at the moment, fix this by holding ct->lock inside nf_ct_seqadj_init() until all is done.

2026-06-05netfilter: synproxy: adjust duplicate timestamp optionsFernando Fernandez Mancera
RFC 9293 does not mention anything about duplicated options and each networking stack handles it in their own way. Currently, Linux kernel is processing options sequentially and in case of duplicated timestamp options, the value from the latest one overrides the others. As SYNPROXY is modifying only the first timestamp option found, a packet can reach the backend server and it might parse the wrong timestamp value. Let's just continue parsing the following options and in case a duplicated timestamp is found, adjust it too.

2026-06-05ipvs: add conn_max sysctl to limit connectionsJulian Anastasov
Currently, we are using atomic_t to track the number of connections. On 64-bit setups with large memory there is a risk this counter to overflow. Also, setups with many containers may need to tune the limit for connections. Add sysctl control to limit the number of connections to 1,073,741,824 (64-bit) and 16,777,216 (32-bit). Depending on the admin's privilege, the value is used to change a soft or hard limit allowing unprivileged admins to change the soft limit in range determined by privileged admins.

2026-06-05xfrm: iptfs: fix ABBA deadlock in iptfs_destroy_state()Tristan Madani
iptfs_destroy_state() calls hrtimer_cancel() while holding a spinlock that the timer callback also acquires, leading to an ABBA deadlock on SMP systems. For the output timer (iptfs_timer): - iptfs_destroy_state() holds x->lock, calls hrtimer_cancel() - iptfs_delay_timer() callback takes x->lock For the drop timer (drop_timer): - iptfs_destroy_state() holds drop_lock, calls hrtimer_cancel() - iptfs_drop_timer() callback takes drop_lock Both timers use HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT, so their callbacks run in softirq context. When hrtimer_cancel() is called for a soft timer that is currently executing on another CPU, hrtimer_cancel_wait_running() spins on softirq_expiry_lock -- the same lock held by the softirq running the callback. If the callback is blocked waiting for the spinlock held by the caller of hrtimer_cancel(), a circular dependency forms: CPU 0: holds lock_A -> waits for softirq_expiry_lock CPU 1: holds softirq_expiry_lock -> waits for lock_A Fix by calling hrtimer_cancel() before acquiring the respective locks. hrtimer_cancel() is safe to call without holding any lock and will wait for any in-progress callback to complete. For the output timer, the lock is still acquired afterwards to drain the packet queue. For the drop timer, the lock/unlock pair is removed entirely since it only existed to serialize with the timer callback, which hrtimer_cancel() already guarantees. Found by source code audit.

Replace the duplicated inline assembly in __arch_counter_get_cntpct() and __arch_counter_get_cntvct() with calls to the corresponding helpers. This mirrors commit 00b39d150986 ("arm64: vdso: Use __arch_counter_get_cntvct()"), which removed similar duplication from the vDSO, and keeps the system-counter read sequence in a single place, reducing assembly code in the kernell No functional change: the resulting inline assembly, alternatives, and clobbers are unchanged; only the source-level expression of the read moves into the existing helper. Verified by rebuilding the consumers of these helpers before and after the change and comparing the resulting disassembly: - arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so (final linked vDSO): bit-identical (same sha256 across rebuilds) - arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o: identical disassembly - arch/arm64/lib/delay.o: identical disassembly - drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.o: same 50 functions with byte-identical instruction streams; only difference is function ordering inside .text and NOP padding, with no opcodes added or removed.

Also, rename .pgdir to .pgtbl to be more generic, as page tables of various levels will reside here.

2026-06-05Revert "drm/i915/backlight: Remove try_vesa_interface"Suraj Kandpal
This reverts commit 40d2f5820951dee818d05c14677277048bd85f9f. Removing the try_vesa_interface gate caused a backlight regression on panels whose VBT correctly reports INTEL_BACKLIGHT_DISPLAY_DDI and whose PWM path is the actual backlight control, but whose DPCD optimistically advertises DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_AUX_ENABLE_CAP / _BRIGHTNESS_AUX_SET_CAP. After the commit such panels silently bind to the VESA AUX backlight funcs; AUX writes complete but the panel ignores them, leaving brightness stuck (no-op backlight). Observed on at least KBL and TGL eDP setups.

erased entry vgic_its_invalidate_cache() walks the per-ITS translation cache with xa_for_each() and drops the cache's reference on each entry with vgic_put_irq(). It puts the iterated pointer, though, rather than the value returned by xa_erase(). The function is called from contexts that do not exclude one another: the ITS command handlers hold its_lock, the GITS_CTLR write path holds cmd_lock, and the path that clears EnableLPIs in a redistributor's GICR_CTLR holds neither. Two or more of them can drain the same cache concurrently, and if each one observes the same entry, erases it and then puts it, the single reference the cache holds on that entry is dropped more than once. The entry can then be freed while an ITE still maps it. xa_erase() is atomic and returns the previous entry, so put only the entry that this context actually removed. The cache reference is then dropped exactly once per entry even when the invalidations run concurrently, and the behavior is unchanged when only one context runs.

2026-06-05iomap: introduce IOMAP_F_ZERO_TAIL flagNamjae Jeon
In filesystems that maintain a separate Valid Data Length, such as exFAT and NTFS, a partial write may start at or beyond the current valid_size and extend it. In this case, the region after the previous valid_size but within the same filesystem block is considered unwritten. This patch introduces IOMAP_F_ZERO_TAIL. When this flag is set in iomap, __iomap_write_begin() will zero only the tail portion while preserving any valid data before it in the same block. Without this tail zeroing, stale data in the unwritten portion of the block can remain in the page cache. Subsequent reads can then return incorrect contents from that region.

2026-06-05rust: ptr: add panicking index projection variantGary Guo
There have been a few cases where the programmer knows that the indices are in bounds but the compiler cannot deduce that. This is also compiler-version-dependent, so using build indexing here can be problematic. On the other hand, it is also not ideal to use the fallible variant, as it adds an error handling path that is never hit. Add a new panicking index projection for this scenario. Like all panicking operations, this should be used carefully only in cases where the user knows the index is going to be in bounds, and panicking would indicate something is catastrophically wrong. To signify this, require users to explicitly denote the type of index being used. The existing two types of index projections also gain the keyworded version, which will be the recommended way going forward. The keyworded syntax also paves the way of perhaps adding more flavors in the future, e.g. `unsafe` index projection. However, unless the code is extremely performance sensitive and bounds checking cannot be tolerated, the panicking variant is safer and should be preferred, so it will be left to the future when demand arises.

2026-06-05ALSA: seq: dummy: fix UMP event stack overreadKyle Zeng
The dummy sequencer port forwards events by copying an incoming struct snd_seq_event into a stack temporary, rewriting source and destination, and dispatching the temporary to subscribers. That legacy event storage is smaller than struct snd_seq_ump_event. When a UMP event reaches the dummy client, the copy leaves the UMP flag set but only provides legacy-sized stack storage. The subscriber delivery path then uses snd_seq_event_packet_size() and copies a UMP-sized packet from that stack object, reading past the end of the temporary. Use the existing union __snd_seq_event storage and copy the packet size reported for the incoming event before rewriting the common routing fields. This preserves the full UMP packet for UMP events while keeping legacy event handling unchanged.

2026-06-05Merge patch series "proc: protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock"Christian Brauner
Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> says: My understanding is that procfs is effectively maintained by the VFS maintainers (though scripts/get_maintainer.pl claims that there are no maintainers for procfs because the VFS entry only claims files directly in fs/, and the procfs entry has no maintainers listed on it). In procfs, most uses of ptrace_may_access() should use exec_update_lock to avoid TOCTOU issues with concurrent privileged execve() (like setuid binary execution). This series doesn't fix all the remaining issues in procfs, but it fixes the easy cases for now; I will probably follow up with fixes for the gnarlier cases later unless someone else wants to do that. I have checked that procfs files still work with these changes and that CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y doesn't generate any warnings.

2026-06-05media: v4l2-fwnode: Fix subdev owner overwritten in ↵Mirela Rabulea
v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() The v4l2 helper v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() calls v4l2_async_register_subdev(), which is a macro that expands to __v4l2_async_register_subdev(sd,THIS_MODULE). Since the macro is expanded inside v4l2-fwnode.c, THIS_MODULE resolves to the v4l2-fwnode module rather than the sensor driver module that originally set sd->owner. When v4l2-fwnode is built-in, THIS_MODULE evaluates to NULL, which then overwrites the sensor driver's owner with NULL. This causes the problem that the sensor module's reference count is never incremented during async registration, so the module can be removed while the subdevice is still in use by a notifier (e.g., a CSI-2 receiver bridge driver). Fix this by renaming v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() to __v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() with an added explicit module argument and introducing a wrapper macro: #define v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor(sd) \ __v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor(sd, THIS_MODULE) This ensures the sensor driver module is properly referenced even when the sensor driver does not init the owner field before calling v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() and prevents premature module removal.
