7 daysNFS: Charge unstable writes by request size, not folio sizeBenjamin Coddington
nfs_folio_mark_unstable() and nfs_folio_clear_commit() charge and uncharge NR_WRITEBACK/WB_WRITEBACK by folio_nr_pages(folio) once per *request* added to or removed from a commit list. This is correct only when a folio has a single associated request. When pg_test splits a folio into N sub-folio requests (e.g. pNFS flexfiles striping with a stripe unit smaller than the folio size, or plain wsize-limited splitting), each of the N requests independently charges the whole folio's page count, inflating the accounting by a factor of N per folio. With large folios and small stripe units this reaches multiple orders of magnitude: a 2 MiB folio split into 512 4 KiB requests can charge up to 512x its real size, pushing global dirty+writeback accounting past the system's dirty threshold and forcing every buffered writer on the host into the hard-throttle path, including unrelated in-kernel NFS server threads sharing the box. Charge each request only for the pages it actually covers.

7 daysNFSv4: include MAY_WRITE in open permission mask for O_TRUNCBenjamin Coddington
POSIX requires write permission to truncate a file, so an open() that specifies O_TRUNC must be authorized for write access regardless of the O_ACCMODE access mode. nfs_open_permission_mask() builds the access mask passed to nfs_may_open(), which is the local authorization gate for OPENs the client serves itself from a cached write delegation via the can_open_delegated() path in nfs4_try_open_cached(). The mask is derived from O_ACCMODE alone, so an open(O_RDONLY | O_TRUNC) against a file the caller cannot write requests only MAY_READ and passes the local check. The OPEN is then satisfied locally and the truncation is issued to the server as a SETATTR(size=0) over the delegation stateid, which the server accepts under standard write-delegation semantics. POSIX requires that this open fail with EACCES. Include MAY_WRITE in the mask whenever O_TRUNC is set so the local check matches the access the server would have enforced.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "Jeff Layton wired up netlink upcalls for the auth.unix.ip and auth.unix.gid caches in SunRPC and the svc_export and nfsd.fh caches in NFSD. The new kernel-user API is more extensible and lays the groundwork for retiring the old pipe interface. The default NFS r/w block size rises to 4MB on hosts with at least 16GB of RAM, reducing per-RPC overhead on fast networks. Smaller machines keep their previously computed default, and the value remains tunable through /proc/fs/nfsd/max_block_size. Chuck Lever converted the server's RPCSEC GSS Kerberos code to the kernel's shared crypto/krb5 library. The conversion retires and removes SunRPC's bespoke implementation of Kerberos v5, but keeps RPCSEC GSS-API. Continuing the xdrgen migration that converted the NLMv4 server XDR layer in v7.1, Chuck Lever converted the NLM version 3 server-side XDR layer from hand-written C to xdrgen-generated code. As with the NLMv4 conversion in v7.1, the goals are improved memory safety, lower maintenance burden, and groundwork for generation of Rust code for this layer instead of C. Chuck Lever fixed an issue where lingering NFSv4 state pins a mounted file system after it is unexported. A new netlink-based mechanism can now release NLM locks and NFSv4 state by client address, by filesystem, and by export. Now an administrator can quiesce an export cleanly before unmounting it. The remaining patches are bug fixes, clean-ups, and minor optimizations, including a batch of memory-leak and use-after-free fixes in the ACL, lockd, and TLS handshake paths, many of them reported by Chris Mason.

2026-06-15NFSv4/pNFS: reject zero-length r_addr in nfs4_decode_mp_ds_addrMichael Bommarito
nfs4_decode_mp_ds_addr() decodes the r_netid and r_addr opaques of a netaddr4 from a GETDEVICEINFO multipath-DS body, then immediately calls strrchr(buf, '.') to locate the port separator. Both decodes use xdr_stream_decode_string_dup(), and the current code checks only "nlen < 0" / "rlen < 0" before dereferencing the returned string. When the on-wire opaque has length zero, xdr_stream_decode_opaque_inline() returns 0 and xdr_stream_decode_string_dup() falls through to its "*str = NULL; return ret" tail, leaving buf NULL with a return value of 0. The "< 0" check does not catch this, and the next line is strrchr(NULL, '.'), a kernel NULL pointer dereference reachable from any pNFS-flexfile client mounted against a malicious or compromised metadata server. Reject the zero-length cases explicitly so the decoder fails with -EBADMSG (treated as a malformed GETDEVICEINFO body) instead of panicking the client.

2026-06-15nfs: don't skip revalidate on directory delegation when attrs flagged staleTom Haynes
On a local directory mutation (rename/create/unlink) the client marks CHANGE / MTIME / CTIME as invalid in NFS_I(dir)->cache_validity. When a subsequent stat(2) enters __nfs_revalidate_inode() and finds a directory delegation held, the function currently early-exits and returns the cached (now stale) mtime to userspace without sending a GETATTR RPC. Keep the early-exit for the fast path, but take the RPC when CHANGE, MTIME, or CTIME are already marked invalid. The delegation alone is not a guarantee of cached-attr freshness once the code itself has flagged the cache as stale.

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.

To get an operable file descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>") and thus depend on a functioning procfs. With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included. - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code. This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends. All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code. The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only call finish_open() on freshly created files and use finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular files via the do_open() safety net. Cleanups: - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest harness is much easier to follow and maintain.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs casefolding updates from Christian Brauner: "This exposes the case folding behavior of local filesystems so that file servers - nfsd, ksmbd, and user space file servers - can report the actual behavior to clients instead of guessing. Filesystems report case-insensitive and case-nonpreserving behavior via new file_kattr flags in their fileattr_get implementations. fat, exfat, ntfs3, hfs, hfsplus, xfs, cifs, nfs, vboxsf, and isofs are wired up. Local filesystems that are not explicitly handled default to the usual POSIX behavior of case-sensitive and case-preserving. nfsd uses this to report case folding via NFSv3 PATHCONF and to implement the NFSv4 FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE and FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING attributes - both have been part of the NFS protocols for decades to support clients on non-POSIX systems - and ksmbd reports it via FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION. Exposing the information through the fileattr uapi covers user space file servers. The immediate motivation is interoperability: Windows NFS clients hard-require servers to report case-insensitivity for Win32 applications to work correctly, and a client that knows the server is case-insensitive can avoid issuing multiple LOOKUP/READDIR requests searching for case variants. The Linux NFS client already grew support for case-insensitive shares years ago in support of the Hammerspace NFS server - negative dentry caching must be disabled (a lookup for "FILE.TXT" failing must not cache a negative entry when "file.txt" exists) and directory change invalidation must drop cached case-folded name variants. Such servers often operate in multi-protocol environments where a single file service instance caters to both NFS and SMB clients, and nfsd needs to report case folding properly to participate as a first-class citizen there. A follow-up series brings fixes for the initial work: the nfsd case-info probe now uses kernel credentials, maps -ESTALE to NFS3ERR_STALE, and has its cost capped across READDIR entries; the nfs client avoids transiently zeroed case capability bits during the probe and skips the pathconf probe when neither field is consumed; the FS_CASEFOLD_FL semantics are clarified in the UAPI header; and the tools UAPI headers are synced" * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.casefold' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (22 commits) nfsd: Cap case-folding probe cost across READDIR entries nfsd: Map -ESTALE from case probe to NFS3ERR_STALE nfsd: Use kernel credentials for case-info probe fs: Clarify FS_CASEFOLD_FL semantics in UAPI header nfs: Skip pathconf probe when neither field is consumed nfs: Avoid transient zeroed case capability bits during probe tools headers UAPI: Sync case-sensitivity flags from linux/fs.h ksmbd: Report filesystem case sensitivity via FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION nfsd: Implement NFSv4 FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE and FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING nfsd: Report export case-folding via NFSv3 PATHCONF isofs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity vboxsf: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity nfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity cifs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity xfs: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get hfsplus: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get hfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity ntfs3: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity exfat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity ...

2026-06-09vfs: add FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFSJeff Layton
Commit e1c5ae59c0f2 ("fs: don't allow non-init s_user_ns for filesystems without FS_USERNS_MOUNT") prevents the mount of any filesystem inside a container that doesn't have FS_USERNS_MOUNT set. This broke NFS mounts in our containerized environment. We have a daemon somewhat like systemd-mountfsd running in the init_ns. A process does a fsopen() inside the container and passes it to the daemon via unix socket. The daemon then vets that the request is for an allowed NFS server and performs the mount. This now fails because the fc->user_ns is set to the value in the container and NFS doesn't set FS_USERNS_MOUNT. We don't want to add FS_USERNS_MOUNT to NFS since that would allow the container to mount any NFS server (even malicious ones). Add a new FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag, and enable it on NFS.

2026-06-08nfs: use nfsi->rwsem to protect traversal of the file lock listYang Erkun
Lingfeng identified a bug and suggested two solutions, but both appear to have issues. Generally, we cannot release flc_lock while iterating over the file lock list to avoid use-after-free (UAF) problems with file locks. However, functions like nfs_delegation_claim_locks and nfs4_reclaim_locks cannot adhere to this rule because recover_lock or nfs4_lock_delegation_recall may take a long time. To resolve this, NFS switches to using nfsi->rwsem for the same protection, and nfs_reclaim_locks follows this approach. Although nfs_delegation_claim_locks uses so_delegreturn_mutex instead, this is inadequate since a single inode can have multiple nfs4_state instances. Therefore, the fix is to also use nfsi->rwsem in this case. Furthermore, after commit c69899a17ca4 ("NFSv4: Update of VFS byte range lock must be atomic with the stateid update"), the functions nfs4_locku_done and nfs4_lock_done also break this rule because they call locks_lock_inode_wait without holding nfsi->rwsem. Simply adding this protection could cause many deadlocks, so instead, the call to locks_lock_inode_wait is moved into _nfs4_proc_setlk. Regarding the bug fixed by commit c69899a17ca4 ("NFSv4: Update of VFS byte range lock must be atomic with the stateid update"), it has been resolved after commit 0460253913e5 ("NFSv4: nfs4_do_open() is incorrectly triggering state recovery") because all slots are drained before calling nfs4_do_reclaim, which prevents concurrent stateid changes along this path. Also, nfs_delegation_claim_locks does not cause this concurrency either since when _nfs4_proc_setlk is called with NFS_DELEGATED_STATE, no RPC is sent, so nfs4_lock_done is not called. Therefore, nfs4_lock_delegation_recall from nfs_delegation_claim_locks is the first time the stateid is set.

2026-06-08NFSv4/flexfiles: honor FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS in pg_get_mirror_count_writeMike Snitzer
The FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS flag lives on each lseg, so any fallback decision made when there is no current lseg (e.g. between LAYOUTRETURN and the next LAYOUTGET) cannot run the per-lseg check. Introduce a sticky hdr-level ditto for FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS in struct nfs4_flexfile_layout::flags (NFS4_FF_HDR_NO_IO_THRU_MDS bit), set whenever ff_layout_alloc_lseg() parses an lseg with the flag. The bit is never cleared for the lifetime of the layout hdr; the server is assumed to be consistent in its no-fallback policy per file. kzalloc() in ff_layout_alloc_layout_hdr() zero-initializes the field. Use the new ff_layout_hdr_no_fallback_to_mds() helper to gate ff_layout_pg_get_mirror_count_write(): when pnfs_update_layout() returns NULL (e.g. NFS_LAYOUT_BULK_RECALL, pnfs_layout_io_test_failed, pnfs_layoutgets_blocked) the existing code unconditionally calls nfs_pageio_reset_write_mds(). This is a source of unwanted WRITE to MDS. Fix it by checking NFS4_FF_HDR_NO_IO_THRU_MDS bit, and if set surface -EAGAIN instead; the writepage-side caller (nfs_do_writepage() for buffered, nfs_direct_write_reschedule() for O_DIRECT) then redirties the request so writeback retries via pNFS.

2026-06-08NFSv4/flexfiles: honor FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS on fatal DS connect errorsMike Snitzer
Commit f06bedfa62d5 ("pNFS/flexfiles: don't attempt pnfs on fatal DS errors") teaches ff_layout_{read,write}_pagelist() to return PNFS_NOT_ATTEMPTED when nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds() fails with a nfs_error_is_fatal() errno (e.g. -ETIMEDOUT from a SOFTCONN connect deadline, -ENOMEM, -ERESTARTSYS), so that the client gives up instead of spinning. pnfs_do_{read,write}() then dispatches the I/O through pnfs_{read,write}_through_mds() → nfs_pageio_reset_{read,write}_mds(). That fallback is unconditional and silently violates FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS: when the layout segment carries the flag (typically single-mirror appliance layouts where MDS I/O is explicitly forbidden), the out_failed: path's \`&& !ds_fatal_error\` clause overrides the flag's short-circuit through ff_layout_avoid_mds_available_ds() and routes the I/O to the MDS file handle anyway. This is reachable in practice during a data-server restart: SOFTCONN exhaustion produces -ETIMEDOUT, which is fatal per nfs_error_is_fatal(), which triggers PNFS_NOT_ATTEMPTED, which silently goes to MDS. Preserve the upstream "don't spin on fatal errors" intent for layouts that permit MDS fallback. For layouts with FF_FLAGS_NO_IO_THRU_MDS set, mark the layout for return and request PNFS_TRY_AGAIN instead; if the server cannot supply a usable layout the failure now surfaces cleanly via pnfs_update_layout(), rather than via silent MDS I/O that contradicts the flag.

2026-06-08nfs: keep PG_UPTODATE clear after read errors in page groupsClark Wang
When a read request is split into multiple subrequests, earlier completions may advance PG_UPTODATE state for the page group once their bytes fall within hdr->good_bytes. If a later subrequest in the same group then completes with NFS_IOHDR_ERROR, the read path needs to clear any accumulated PG_UPTODATE state and keep later completions from rebuilding it. Otherwise, a subsequent successful subrequest can re-enter nfs_page_group_set_uptodate(), restore the page-group sync state, and leave stale PG_UPTODATE behind for nfs_page_group_destroy() to trip over in nfs_free_request(). Add a sticky page-group read-failed flag. Once any subrequest in the group is known to be bad, mark the group failed, clear any accumulated PG_UPTODATE state, and refuse further PG_UPTODATE synchronization for the rest of the completion walk.

Device unregistration issues a SCSI PR command, which may sleep, resulting in a "scheduling while atomic" warning. During layout return, ext_tree_remove() invokes the layout driver's return_range callback while holding the inode lock. For block layouts, this callback eventually calls bl_unregister_scsi(), which may block in scsi_execute_cmd() while issuing PR commands to the device. Fix this by deferring the return_range callbacks until after the inode lock has been released. The layout header reference count is incremented before invoking return_range(), ensuring that the layout header remains valid while the layout driver removes extents from the extent tree.

2026-06-08NFSv4: clear exception state on successful mkdir retryIgor Raits
After a server returns NFS4ERR_DELAY for an NFSv4 CREATE issued by mkdir(2), the client correctly waits and retries. When the retry succeeds, however, mkdir(2) can still surface -EEXIST to userspace even though the directory was just created on the server. Reproducer (random 16-hex names so collisions are not the cause) against an in-kernel Linux nfsd; reproduces under both NFSv4.0 and NFSv4.2: N=2000000; base=/var/gdc/export for ((i=1; i<=N; i++)); do d=$base/$(openssl rand -hex 8) mkdir "$d" 2>/dev/null || echo "$(date +%T) failed loop=$i $d" rmdir "$d" 2>/dev/null done Failures cluster at the cadence at which the server-side auth/export cache refresh path causes nfsd to return NFS4ERR_DELAY for CREATE. A wire trace of one failure (the three CREATE RPCs all come from a single mkdir(2), generated by the do-while in nfs4_proc_mkdir()): client -> server CREATE name=... -> NFS4ERR_DELAY ~100 ms later client -> server CREATE name=... -> NFS4_OK (dir created) ~80 us later client -> server CREATE name=... -> NFS4ERR_EXIST (correct) Since commit dd862da61e91 ("nfs: fix incorrect handling of large-number NFS errors in nfs4_do_mkdir()"), nfs4_handle_exception() is called only when _nfs4_proc_mkdir() returned an error. That gate breaks retry-state hygiene: nfs4_do_handle_exception() resets exception.{delay,recovering, retry} to 0 on entry, so calling it on success is what previously cleared the retry flag set by the preceding NFS4ERR_DELAY iteration. With the gate in place, exception.retry stays at 1 after the successful retry, the loop runs once more, and the resulting CREATE for an already-created name yields NFS4ERR_EXIST -> -EEXIST to userspace. Drop the conditional and call nfs4_handle_exception() unconditionally, matching every other do-while in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c (nfs4_proc_symlink(), nfs4_proc_link(), etc.). The dentry/status separation introduced by that commit is preserved.

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.

2026-06-02NFS: write_completion: dereference loop-local req, not hdr->reqDave Jones
5d3869a41f36 ("NFS: fix writeback in presence of errors") introduced a dereference of hdr->req->wb_lock_context in nfs_write_completion's per-request loop. hdr->req is set once at nfs_pgheader_init() time and is not refcount-protected for the lifetime of the loop; when hdr aggregates requests from multiple page groups (common under heavy NFSv3 writeback), a parallel COMMIT on hdr->req's group can drop the last reference and free it while the outer loop is still iterating requests from other groups. KASAN catches this as an 8-byte read at offset +24 of a freed nfs_page slab object (wb_lock_context). All requests in a given pgio share the same open_context, so reading the loop-local req's wb_lock_context yields the same value and is safe -- req is still on hdr->pages and holds its writeback kref through the commit branch.

2026-05-21openat2: new OPENAT2_REGULAR flag supportDorjoy Chowdhury
This flag indicates the path should be opened if it's a regular file. This is useful to write secure programs that want to avoid being tricked into opening device nodes with special semantics while thinking they operate on regular files. This is a requested feature from the uapi-group[1]. The previously introduced EFTYPE error code is returned when the path doesn't refer to a regular file. For example, if openat2 is called on path /dev/null with OPENAT2_REGULAR in the flag param, it will return -EFTYPE. When used in combination with O_CREAT, either the regular file is created, or if the path already exists, it is opened if it's a regular file. Otherwise, -EFTYPE is returned. When OPENAT2_REGULAR is combined with O_DIRECTORY, -EINVAL is returned as it doesn't make sense to open a path that is both a directory and a regular file. The UAPI bit lives in the upper 32 bits of open_how::flags (((__u64)1 << 32)) so that open(2) and openat(2) -- whose @flags argument is a C int -- cannot physically express it. This is a structural guarantee, not a runtime mask: the bit is unrepresentable in 32 bits. Because the rest of the VFS open path narrows to 32 bits in several places (op->open_flag, f->f_flags, the unsigned open_flag argument of i_op->atomic_open()), build_open_flags() translates OPENAT2_REGULAR into a kernel-internal lower-32-bit carrier __O_REGULAR (bit 4, unused as an O_* on every architecture) before the assignment to op->open_flag. __O_REGULAR then rides through the existing channels exactly like __FMODE_EXEC. do_dentry_open() strips it so it cannot leak back to userspace via fcntl(F_GETFL). Four BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() invariants in build_open_flags() prevent any future bit collision or accidental low-32 redefinition: - VALID_OPEN_FLAGS fits in 32 bits. - OPENAT2_REGULAR lives in the upper 32 bits. - OPENAT2_REGULAR does not alias any open()/openat() flag. - __O_REGULAR does not alias any user-visible flag. [1]: https://uapi-group.org/kernel-features/#ability-to-only-open-regular-files Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says: Move OPENAT2_REGULAR to the upper 32 bits of open_how::flags with a kernel-internal __O_REGULAR carrier so that open(2)/openat(2) cannot encode the flag; add BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() invariants and register __O_REGULAR in the fcntl_init() allocation-uniqueness BUILD_BUG_ON() (bit count 21 -> 22).

2026-05-15nfs: Skip pathconf probe when neither field is consumedChuck Lever
The PATHCONF RPC issued from nfs_probe_fsinfo() supplies two pieces of information: max_namelen, used only when server->namelen has not been pinned by mount options, and the case_insensitive / case_preserving fields, used only by the NFSv2/NFSv3 path. NFSv4 receives its case sensitivity caps from the FATTR4_CASE_* attributes during the set_capabilities probe, and a non-zero server->namelen short-circuits the only other field of interest. When both conditions hold (NFSv4 with namelen pinned), the pathconf reply is discarded in full but the round-trip is still on the mount critical path. Gate the call on version < 4 || namelen == 0 so that mounts which cannot benefit from the reply do not pay for it.

2026-05-15nfs: Avoid transient zeroed case capability bits during probeChuck Lever
nfs_probe_fsinfo() clears NFS_CAP_CASE_INSENSITIVE and NFS_CAP_CASE_NONPRESERVING ahead of the synchronous pathconf RPC and sets them again only after the reply arrives. The code path is gated by clp->rpc_ops->version < 4 and is therefore reached on NFSv2/v3 remount via nfs_reconfigure(), which calls nfs_probe_server() against a live mount. Concurrent readers walking server->caps can observe the cleared state for the duration of the round-trip and report the wrong case-sensitivity attributes. Compute the post-probe capability mask on the stack and assign it to server->caps in a single store so readers see either the stale value or the freshly computed one, never an intermediate zero. Preserve the original behaviour of dropping the bits when the pathconf RPC itself fails. The analogous transient zero on the NFSv4 path lives in nfs4_server_capabilities() and is left for a separate fix.

2026-05-11nfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivityChuck Lever
An NFS server re-exporting an NFS mount point needs to report the case sensitivity behavior of the underlying filesystem to its clients. NFSD's attribute encoder obtains that information by calling vfs_fileattr_get() on the lower filesystem, so the NFS client must implement fileattr_get to surface what it learned from its own server. The NFS client already retrieves case sensitivity information from servers during mount via PATHCONF (NFSv3) or the FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE/FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING attributes (NFSv4). Expose this information through fileattr_get by reporting the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. NFSv2 lacks PATHCONF support, so mounts using that protocol version default to standard POSIX behavior: case-sensitive and case-preserving. PATHCONF is now invoked unconditionally for NFSv2 and NFSv3 mounts so the case-sensitivity capabilities are established even when the user pins server->namelen with the namlen= mount option. That option is orthogonal to case handling, and skipping PATHCONF because namelen was already known would leave the caps unset. The two capability bits carry opposite polarity because their POSIX defaults differ. Most servers are case-sensitive and case- preserving, matching "neither xflag set." NFS_CAP_CASE_INSENSITIVE is set only when the server affirms case insensitivity, so "server said no" and "server did not answer" both collapse to the case- sensitive default. NFS_CAP_CASE_NONPRESERVING follows the same pattern in the opposite direction: set only when the server affirms that it does not preserve case, so that silence or a missing attribute lands on the case-preserving default. The NFSv4 probe checks res.attr_bitmask[0] to distinguish "server said false" from "server omitted the attribute" before setting the bit. Both capability bits are cleared before each probe so a remount, an NFSv4 transparent state migration to a server with different case semantics, or a probe whose reply does not arrive does not retain stale capabilities from the prior probe.

The cl_xprt pointer in struct rpc_clnt is marked as __rcu. Accessing it directly in nfs_compare_super_address() is unsafe and triggers Sparse warnings. Fix this by using rcu_dereference() within an RCU read-side critical section to retrieve the transport pointer. This addresses the sparse warning and ensures atomic access to the pointer, as the transport can be updated via transport switching even while the superblock remains active under sb_lock.

2026-04-22NFSv4.2: fix CLONE/COPY attrs in presence of delegated attributesOlga Kornievskaia
xfstest generic/407 is failing in 2 ways. It detects that after doing a clone the client does not update it's mtime and it's ctime. CLONE always sends a GETATTR operation and then calls nfs_post_op_update_inode() based on the returned attributes. Because of the delegated attributes the client ignores updating the mtime. Then also, when delegated attributes are present, for the change_attr the server replies with the same values as what the client cached before and thus the generic/407 would flag that. Instead, make sure we invalidate the blocks attr. By adding updating delegated attributes in nfs42_copy_dest_done() both COPY and CLONE would update mtime appropriately.

2026-04-22NFS: fix writeback in presence of errorsOlga Kornievskaia
After running xfstest generic/751, in certain conditions, can have a writeback IO stuck while experiencing one of the two patterns. Pattern#1: writeback IO experiences ENOSPC on an offset smaller than the filesize. Example, write offset=0 len=4096 how=unstable OK write offset=8192 len=4096 how=unstable OK write offset=12288 len=4096 how=unstable ENOSPC write offset=4096 len=4096 how=unstable ENOSPC client sends a commit and receives a verifier which is different from the last successful write. It marks pages dirty and writeback retries. But it again send writes unstable and gets into the same pattern, running into the ENOSPC error and sending a commit because writes were sent at unstable. Pattern#2: an unstable write followed by a short write and ENOSPC. write offset=0 len=4096 how=unstable OK write offset=4096 len=4096 how=unstable returns OK but count=100 write offset=4197 len=3996 how=stable returns ENOSPC client send a commit and receives a verifier different from the last unstable write. The same behaviour is retried in a loop. Instead, this patch proposes to identify those conditions and mark requests to be done synchronously instead. Previous solution tried to mark it in the nfs_page, however that's not persistent thus instead mark it in the nfs_open_context. Furthermore, the same problem occurs during localio code path so recognize that IO needs to be done sync in that case as well.
