Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff"
(Lorenzo Stoakes)
Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset
to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd
file-backed memory.
Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index
conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance
improvements.
- "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU"
(Baolin Wang)
Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more
reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped
executable file folios after their first usage to give executable
code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload
performance.
- "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong
Chen)
Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness
parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating
sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks
proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration.
- "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived
scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif)
Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving
scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired
producer updates.
Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a
dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over
60% without impacting scan throughput.
- "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky)
Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review.
- "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's
memcg" (Zi Yan)
Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during
splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray
node memory accounting.
- "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick)
Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a
generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test
files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests.
- "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon)
Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in
mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function.
- "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin
Huang)
Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error
cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing
algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to
reinitialization.
- "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia)
Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by
moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in
writeback_store() and read_block_state().
- "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang)
Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders
and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged.
- "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions"
(Muhammad Usama Anjum)
Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when
required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding
retry logic for transient page migration errors.
- "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia)
Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled
and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved
writeback efficiency.
- "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren
Baghdasaryan)
Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation
profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter
aggregation.
This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and
provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation
data to userspace.
- "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5"
(Christoph Hellwig)
Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of
single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving
faster swap throughput during kernel builds.
- "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks"
(Catalin Marinas)
Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak
enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable
minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter.
- "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels"
(Breno Leitao)
Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports
on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second
confirming scan.
- "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig)
Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance
regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection
overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio
writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly
export their own swap_ops.
- "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache)
khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated
comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for
PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal
documentation.
- "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett)
Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for
locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures
without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.
Improve lock error detection, update docs, fix race and allocation
edge cases and optimize erase allocations using a fallback to
GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFAIL.

Patch series "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP", v8.
Currently, memory allocation profiling data is primarily exposed through
/proc/allocinfo. While useful for manual inspection, this text-based
interface poses challenges for production monitoring and large-scale
analysis:
1. Userspace must parse large amounts of text to extract specific
fields.
2. To find specific tags, userspace must read the entire dataset,
requiring many context switches and high data copying.
3. The kernel currently aggregates per-CPU counters for every allocation
size, even those the user intends to filter out immediately.
This series introduces a new IOCTL-based binary interface for allocinfo
that supports kernel-side filtering. By allowing the user to specify a
filter mask, we significantly reduce the work performed in-kernel and the
amount of data transferred to userspace. The IOCTL mechanism was chosen
for allocinfo to address the per-CPU counter aggregation bottleneck. A
traditional read() operation must report the total allocation count and
sizes for every code tag in the system. Doing so requires iterating
across all CPUs to sum their per-CPU counters for thousands of tags, which
introduces substantial runtime overhead.
The IOCTL interface allows userspace to push selective filtering criteria
directly into the kernel before the per-CPU counter aggregation. The
kernel aggregates per-CPU counters only for a small subset of tags that
match the filter. This results in significant performance improvement.
Beyond fast filtered retrieval, the IOCTL foundation allows introducing a
context capture mechanism in the future to capture the context for
specific allocations.
Performance measurements were conducted on an Intel Xeon Platinum 8481C
(224 CPUs) with caches dropped before each run.
The IOCTL mechanism shows a ~20x performance improvement for
filtered queries. The kernel avoids the expensive per-CPU counter
aggregation (alloc_tag_read) for any tags that fail the initial string
or location filters.
Scenario 1: Specific File Filtering (arch/x86/events/rapl.c)
1. Traditional (cat /proc/allocinfo | grep): 22ms (sys)
2. IOCTL Interface: 1ms (sys)
Scenario 2: Compound Filtering (Filename + Size)
1. Traditional: (cat ... | grep | awk): 21ms (sys)
2. IOCTL Interface: 1ms (sys)
Scenario 3: Size-Based Filtering (min_size = 1MB)
1. Traditional: (cat ... | awk): 21ms (sys)
2. IOCTL Interface: 14ms (sys)
This patch (of 6):
Add the following ioctl commands for /proc/allocinfo file:
ALLOCINFO_IOC_CONTENT_ID - gets content identifier which can be used to
check whether the file content has changed specifically due to module
load/unload. Every time a module is loaded / unloaded, the returned value
will be different. By comparing the identifier value at the beginning and
at the end of the content retrieval operation, users can validate
retrieved information for consistency.
ALLOCINFO_IOC_GET_AT - gets the record at the specified position. This is
the position of a record in /proc/allocinfo.
ALLOCINFO_IOC_GET_NEXT - gets the record next to the last retrieved one.
If no records were previously retrieved, returns the first record.
Note, function file and module names often have the same prefixes,
therefore when filtering for them, we compare the last 64 characters to
minimize the chances of name collisions.

fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
cleanup code
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)
Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound
or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio
splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows
the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail()
- "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
Song)
Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in
wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads
- "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Until now, Landlock observability documentation covered only audit
records. The tracepoints added by the previous commits introduce a
second channel with different semantics (firing regardless of audit
configuration and domain log flags, exposing the full ruleset and domain
state to eBPF via BTF), which kernel developers, administrators, and
userspace tool authors need to discover and compare against audit.
Add a dedicated "Landlock Trace Events" reference covering the event
categories, enabling events via tracefs, ruleset versioning, eBPF access
through BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT, and the same_exec and logged denial fields
(logged being the kernel's audit-logging decision, so a stateless ftrace
filter can select the denials audit would record with logged==1).
Cross-reference it from the administrator, kernel-internals, and
userspace API documents, contrasting tracepoints with audit: when each
channel is preferred, what each guarantees, and how NOAUDIT hooks and
audit rate limiting affect them.
Also document the relational other-party domain fields the scope and
ptrace denial tracepoints expose (tracee_domain, target_domain,
peer_domain; 0 when the other party is unsandboxed), so a consumer can
resolve them against the lifecycle events and reproduce the two-domain
verdict.

Add a framework driver for Dreamchip RPPX1 ISP. The driver aims to
provide a framework for other V4L2 based drivers to drive the RPPX1
functionality. The reason for this split is that the RPPX1 IP itself do
not provide any DMA engines to drive data to/from the device, instead it
depends on other IP blocks to implement these features.
While the peripherals around the RPPX1 ISP used in different designs and
by different vendors are different the RPPX1 core itself is the same.
For this reason the framework solution to be able to split the Dreamchip
RPPX1 driver from vendors usage of it have been picked in hope to reduce
duplication of the common parts.
The design is to try and keep the surface of this framework as small as
possible. The intention of this change is to be able to fill all needs
of this.
* Two functions to create and destroy a RPPX1 instance, rppx1_create()
and rppx1_destory(). These are intended to be called in the users
probe and remove code paths.
* Two functions to start and stop the RPPX1 processing, rppx1_start()
and rppx1_stop(). These are intended to be called in the users
stream on and stream off code paths.
* One function to ask the RPPX1 to process parameters buffer prepared
by user space, rppx1_params(). The intention is to call this
function when the parameter buffer is queued to the V4L2 driver and
the result stored by the driver until the time it needs to be
written to the RPPX1. It's the users responsibility to write it
either using MMIO or other means.
* One function to fill in a statistic buffer based on the current
status of the RPPX1, rppx1_stats_fill_isr(). The intention is that
the user call's this in its interrupt handler when it knows the
RPPX1 is done processing a frame.
* One function to ack and retrieve the interrupts generated by the
RPPX1, rppx1_interrupt(). The intention is to call this function
when the users interrupt handler detects the RPPX1 have raised and
interrupt. There is no need for the user to understand, or act, on
the actual RPPX1 interrupt, but it can if it wants too.
The initial support in the framework is limited and do not implement any
ISP processing algorithms other then configuring the RPPX1 to process
any Bayer (8-, 10, or 12-bit) image and produce either a RGB or YUYV
output. It do however probe all function blocks of the RPPX1 and provide
an interface to interact with both parameter and statistic bufferers.
The user of the framework will not change as algorithms for the
different function blocks of the ISP are being added.

SMPTE ST 2086 defines the nominal ranges for mastering display
chromaticity and luminance values. Its Annex A also documents that
CTA 861-G uses zero maximum and minimum luminance values to signal
that the corresponding values are unknown, and the xy chromaticity
coordinate (0, 0) to signal that the white point chromaticity is
unknown.
The V4L2 HDR10 mastering display compound control currently rejects
these values. Consequently, an unknown white point or luminance value
prevents the entire compound control from being updated, making the
other valid mastering display metadata unavailable to userspace.
Accept (0, 0) as an unknown white point and zero as an unknown maximum
or minimum mastering luminance. Continue to reject partially zero white
point coordinates and non-zero values outside the nominal ranges.
Display primary validation remains unchanged.
Document the newly accepted unknown values in the V4L2 userspace API.

tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the
OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each
netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior.
- Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes
down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement.
- Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on
retransmit timeout.
- Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic.
- Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos.
- Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256.
- Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need
to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option,
because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 >
40).
- Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address
Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN
deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6).
- Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over
tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments).
- Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address.
- Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()).
- Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2).
- Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit).
- Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows
migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies.
The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA
migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot
express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors.
The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports
reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an
atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse
during AEAD SA migration.
- Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE.
- Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter.
Cross-tree stuff:
- Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth
Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto
API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into
reference-counted objects.
- Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the
global crypto API as obsolete and insecure.
Wireless:
- Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with
lower capability than AP.
- Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed).
- More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast,
schedule improvements, multi-station etc.)
- Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work
(e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support).
- Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs.
Netfilter:
- Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary
lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different
namespaces.
- Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object
lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy.
Deletions:
- Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to
avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More
work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any
users (original author admitted that they never deployed it).
- Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far
more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks
unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the
vendor that added this are AWOL.
- Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM
needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits.
- Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol
graveyard, I mean, repository.
- Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit
kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely,
soon.

Adds the UAPI for the quiet flags feature (but not the implementation
yet).
Even though currently LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET only affects audit
logging, in the future this can also be used as part of a supervisor
mechanism, where it will also suppress denial notifications on a
per-object basis. Thus the name is deliberately generic, as opposed to
e.g. LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_LOG_QUIET.
According to pahole, even after adding the struct access_masks
quiet_masks in struct landlock_hierarchy, the u32 log_* bitfield still
only has a size of 2 bytes, so there's minimal wasted space.

Landlock provides best-effort sandboxing across ABI versions:
applications request the rights they need, and on older kernels the
unsupported rights are silently dropped from handled_access_* by the
documented compatibility switch. The recommended pattern for
landlock_add_rule(2) calls is to mirror this filtering at the rule
level, which wasn't explicitly described in the exemple.
Show the pattern explicitly in the filesystem and network rule examples
by masking each rule's allowed_access against the ruleset's
handled_access_* and adding the rule only when at least one bit remains
set. This makes the recommended best-effort pattern self-documenting.

The dtlk driver supports the RC Systems DoubleTalk PC ISA speech

received tree-wide fixes and drive-by cleanups in the entire Git
history (since Linux 2.6.12-rc2). The same hardware is supported by
drivers/accessibility/speakup for screen reader use, but that
implementation does not share any code with this driver. Given all of

The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs
for device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration.
These IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known
in-tree or out-of-tree users. Device lifecycle is already managed via
sysfs.
The ioctl interface also increases the attack surface and is the
subject of a number of bug reports.
Remove the character device, the IOCTL definitions, and the related
data structures (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val,
adf_user_cfg_section, adf_user_cfg_ctl_data). Drop the now-unused
adf_cfg_user.h header and strip adf_ctl_drv.c down to the minimal
module_init/module_exit hooks for workqueue, AER, and crypto/compression
algorithm registration.
Clean up leftover dead code that was only reachable from the removed
IOCTL paths: adf_cfg_del_all(), adf_devmgr_verify_id(),
adf_devmgr_get_num_dev(), adf_devmgr_get_dev_by_id(),
adf_get_vf_real_id() and the unused ADF_CFG macros.
Additionally, drop the entry associated to QAT IOCTLs in
ioctl-number.rst.

The synclink_gt driver was marked as broken in commit 426263d5fb40
("tty: synclink_gt: mark as BROKEN") in July 2023 because it had severe
structural problems and there had been no evidence of users since 2016.
Since then, no meaningful improvements have been made to the driver,
and it is unlikely that will ever happen due to the lack of interest.
Drop the driver and references to it in comments and documentation.
include/uapi/linux/synclink.h is also removed. The only use of this
header I have found is the linux-raw-sys Rust crate. It generates
bindings for all UAPI headers, but has a hardcoded list of headers and
ioctls, including this one, so that does not indicate that anyone is
using it. I have sent a pull request to remove the include and ioctl
definitions for this header (see the link below).

Due to the incompatibility with TCMalloc the RSEQ optimizations and
extended features (time slice extensions) have been disabled and made
run-time conditional.
The original RSEQ implementation, which TCMalloc depends on, registers a 32
byte region (ORIG_RSEG_SIZE). This region has a 32 byte alignment
requirement.
The extension safe newer variant exposes the kernel RSEQ feature size via
getauxval(AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE) and the alignment requirement via
getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN). The alignment requirement is that the registered
RSEQ region is aligned to the next power of two of the feature size. The
kernel currently has a feature size of 33 bytes, which means the alignment
requirement is 64 bytes.
The TCMalloc RSEQ region is embedded into a cache line aligned data
structure starting at offset 32 bytes so that bytes 28-31 and the
cpu_id_start field at bytes 32-35 form a 64-bit little endian pointer with
the top-most bit (63 set) to check whether the kernel has overwritten
cpu_id_start with an actual CPU id value, which is guaranteed to not have
the top most bit set.
As this is part of their performance tuned magic, it's a pretty safe
assumption, that TCMalloc won't use a larger RSEQ size.
This allows the kernel to declare that registrations with a size greater
than the original size of 32 bytes, which is the cases since time slice
extensions got introduced, as RSEQ ABI v2 with the following differences to
the original behaviour:
1) Unconditional updates of the user read only fields (CPU, node, MMCID)
are removed. Those fields are only updated on registration, task
migration and MMCID changes.
2) Unconditional evaluation of the criticial section pointer is
removed. It's only evaluated when user space was interrupted and was
scheduled out or before delivering a signal in the interrupted
context.
3) The read/only requirement of the ID fields is enforced. When the
kernel detects that userspace manipulated the fields, the process is
terminated. This ensures that multiple entities (libraries) can
utilize RSEQ without interfering.
4) Todays extended RSEQ feature (time slice extensions) and future
extensions are only enabled in the v2 enabled mode.
Registrations with the original size of 32 bytes operate in backwards
compatible legacy mode without performance improvements and extended
features.
Unfortunately that also affects users of older GLIBC versions which
register the original size of 32 bytes and do not evaluate the kernel
required size in the auxiliary vector AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE.
That's the result of the lack of enforcement in the original implementation
and the unwillingness of a single entity to cooperate with the larger
ecosystem for many years.
Implement the required registration changes by restructuring the spaghetti
code and adding the size/version check. Also add documentation about the
differences of legacy and optimized RSEQ V2 mode.
Thanks to Mathieu for pointing out the ORIG_RSEQ_SIZE constraints!

Reinforce the already stated policy that LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE should
always go hand in hand with LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_WRITE_FILE, as their
meanings and enforcement overlap in counterintuitive ways.
On many common file systems, fallocate(2) offers a way to shorten files as
long as the file is opened for writing, side-stepping the
LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_TRUNCATE right.

Add LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX to the example code, and explain it
in the section about previous limitations. The bulk of the interesting
flag documentation lives in the kernel header and is included in the
Sphinx rendering.

Add LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC to the backwards compatibility example
for restrict flags. This introduces completeness, similar to that of
the ruleset attributes example. However, as the new example can impact
enforcement in certain cases, an appropriate warning is also included.
Additionally, I modified the two comments of the example to make them
more consistent with the ruleset attributes example's.

The subdev format documentation has a subsection describing how to use
the media bus pixel codes for serial buses. While it describes the
sampling part well, it doesn't really describe the current convention
used for the components order.
Let's improve that.
