device property: Allow error pointer to be passed to fwnode APIs

2026-04-18T08:31:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 002752af7b89b74c64fe6bec8c5fde3d3a7810d8 ]

Some of the fwnode APIs might return an error pointer instead of NULL
or valid fwnode handle. The result of such API call may be considered
optional and hence the test for it is usually done in a form of

	fwnode = fwnode_find_reference(...);
	if (IS_ERR(fwnode))
		...error handling...

Nevertheless the resulting fwnode may have bumped the reference count
and hence caller of the above API is obliged to call fwnode_handle_put().
Since fwnode may be not valid either as NULL or error pointer the check
has to be performed there. This approach uglifies the code and adds
a point of making a mistake, i.e. forgetting about error point case.

To prevent this, allow an error pointer to be passed to the fwnode APIs.

mm/huge_memory: fix folio isn't locked in softleaf_to_folio()

2026-04-18T08:31:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4c5e7f0fcd592801c9cc18f29f80fbee84eb8669 ]

On arm64 server, we found folio that get from migration entry isn't locked
in softleaf_to_folio().  This issue triggers when mTHP splitting and
zap_nonpresent_ptes() races, and the root cause is lack of memory barrier
in softleaf_to_folio().  The race is as follows:

	CPU0                                             CPU1

deferred_split_scan()                              zap_nonpresent_ptes()
  lock folio
  split_folio()
    unmap_folio()
      change ptes to migration entries
    __split_folio_to_order()                         softleaf_to_folio()
      set flags(including PG_locked) for tail pages    folio = pfn_folio(softleaf_to_pfn(entry))
      smp_wmb()                                        VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_locked(folio))
      prep_compound_page() for tail pages

In __split_folio_to_order(), smp_wmb() guarantees page flags of tail pages
are visible before the tail page becomes non-compound.  smp_wmb() should
be paired with smp_rmb() in softleaf_to_folio(), which is missed.  As a
result, if zap_nonpresent_ptes() accesses migration entry that stores tail
pfn, softleaf_to_folio() may see the updated compound_head of tail page
before page->flags.

This issue will trigger VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in pfn_swap_entry_folio()
because of the race between folio split and zap_nonpresent_ptes()
leading to a folio incorrectly undergoing modification without a folio
lock being held.

This is a BUG_ON() before commit 93976a20345b ("mm: eliminate further
swapops predicates"), which in merged in v6.19-rc1.

To fix it, add missing smp_rmb() if the softleaf entry is migration entry
in softleaf_to_folio() and softleaf_to_page().

mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using mmu_gather

2026-04-18T08:31:14+00:00

commit 8ce720d5bd91e9dc16db3604aa4b1bf76770a9a1 upstream.

As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix
huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations
where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page
tables that it severely regresses some workloads.

In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large
area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per
unshared PMD table.

There are two optimizations to be had:

(1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during
    exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as
    we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table.

    Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before
    we drop the lock.

(2) When we are not the last sharer (> 2 users including us), there is
    no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot
    become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted
    by the last sharer.

    Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we
    unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the
    shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed
    an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just
    sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs.

    Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are
    no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI
    broadcast.

    (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast
     after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle
     this)

So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather
infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the
code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to
deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation.

To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single
VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide
tlb_gather_mmu_vma().

We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in
tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track
in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables.

Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be
prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead
require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables().

>From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure
that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is
still held.

Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that
tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier.

Document it all properly.

Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing:

There are two fairly tricky things:

(1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without
    CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.

    Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an
    IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only
    send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb->freed_tables is set.

    The relevant architectures should be selecting
    MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable
    kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch.

    Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different
    when tlb->freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also
    take care of tlb->unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so
    hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting
    tlb->freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush
    too much, because the semantics of tlb->freed_tables are a bit
    fuzzy.

    This patch changes nothing in this regard.

(2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with
    CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync.

    Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB)
    we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the
    second tlb_remove_table_sync_one().

    This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in
    tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as
    described in (1), it really must honor tlb->freed_tables then to
    send IPIs to all relevant CPUs.

Notes on TLB flushing changes:

(1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables

    We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to
    tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the
    MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to
    __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine.

(2) Flushing for shared PMD tables

    We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(),
    tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range().

    tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that
    tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios.
    Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls
    __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on
    powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing.

    Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB
    flushing keeps on working as expected.

Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a
concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing
concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed
separately as a cleanup later.

There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until
this is fixed.

mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb_pmd_shared()

2026-04-18T08:31:14+00:00

commit ca1a47cd3f5f4c46ca188b1c9a27af87d1ab2216 upstream.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: fixes for PMD table sharing (incl.  using
mmu_gather)", v3.

One functional fix, one performance regression fix, and two related
comment fixes.

I cleaned up my prototype I recently shared [1] for the performance fix,
deferring most of the cleanups I had in the prototype to a later point.
While doing that I identified the other things.

The goal of this patch set is to be backported to stable trees "fairly"
easily. At least patch #1 and #4.

Patch #1 fixes hugetlb_pmd_shared() not detecting any sharing
Patch #2 + #3 are simple comment fixes that patch #4 interacts with.
Patch #4 is a fix for the reported performance regression due to excessive
IPI broadcasts during fork()+exit().

The last patch is all about TLB flushes, IPIs and mmu_gather.
Read: complicated

There are plenty of cleanups in the future to be had + one reasonable
optimization on x86. But that's all out of scope for this series.

Runtime tested, with a focus on fixing the performance regression using
the original reproducer [2] on x86.

This patch (of 4):

We switched from (wrongly) using the page count to an independent shared
count.  Now, shared page tables have a refcount of 1 (excluding
speculative references) and instead use ptdesc->pt_share_count to identify
sharing.

We didn't convert hugetlb_pmd_shared(), so right now, we would never
detect a shared PMD table as such, because sharing/unsharing no longer
touches the refcount of a PMD table.

Page migration, like mbind() or migrate_pages() would allow for migrating
folios mapped into such shared PMD tables, even though the folios are not
exclusive.  In smaps we would account them as "private" although they are
"shared", and we would be wrongly setting the PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE in the
pagemap interface.

Fix it by properly using ptdesc_pmd_is_shared() in hugetlb_pmd_shared().

xen/privcmd: add boot control for restricted usage in domU

2026-04-18T08:31:03+00:00

commit 1613462be621ad5103ec338a7b0ca0746ec4e5f1 upstream.

When running in an unprivileged domU under Xen, the privcmd driver
is restricted to allow only hypercalls against a target domain, for
which the current domU is acting as a device model.

Add a boot parameter "unrestricted" to allow all hypercalls (the
hypervisor will still refuse destructive hypercalls affecting other
guests).

Make this new parameter effective only in case the domU wasn't started
using secure boot, as otherwise hypercalls targeting the domU itself
might result in violating the secure boot functionality.

This is achieved by adding another lockdown reason, which can be
tested to not being set when applying the "unrestricted" option.

irqchip/gic-v3-its: Limit number of per-device MSIs to the range the ITS supports

commit ce9e40a9a5e5cff0b1b0d2fa582b3d71a8ce68e8 upstream.

The ITS driver blindly assumes that EventIDs are in abundant supply, to the
point where it never checks how many the hardware actually supports.

It turns out that some pretty esoteric integrations make it so that only a
few bits are available, all the way down to a single bit.

Enforce the advertised limitation at the point of allocating the device
structure, and hope that the endpoint driver can deal with such limitation.
