Pull RISC-V fixes from Paul Walmsley:

 - Fix a crash when a kretprobe reads from the stack

 - Fix an issue with the build-time mcount sorter that broke ftrace

 - Fix the rv32 IRQ stack frame padding to match the ABI

 - Only defer IOMMU configuration during initialization. This avoids an
   issue where IOMMU configuration could be indefinitely deferred

 - Add the missing build salt to the vDSO

 - Now that RISC-V systems with higher numbers of cores are starting to
   become available, raise NR_CPUS for RISC-V to 256

 - Clean up some warnings from sparse caused by the RISC-V-optimized
   RAID6 code

 - Clean up our __cpu_up() code with a few minor fixes

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - netfs:

    - fix the decision when to disallow write-streaming with fscache in
      use, handling of asynchronous cache object creation, a double fput
      in cachefiles, clearing S_KERNEL_FILE without the inode lock held,
      page extraction bugs in the iov_iter helpers (a potential
      underflow, a missing allocation failure check, a memory leak, and
      a folio offset miscalculation), writeback error and ENOMEM
      handling, DIO write retry for filesystems without a
      ->prepare_write() method, and the replacement of the wb_lock mutex
      with a bit lock plus writethrough collection offload so that
      multiple asynchronous writebacks don't interfere with each other.

    - Fix the barriering when walking the netfs subrequest list during
      retries as it was possible to see a subrequest that was just added
      by the application thread.

 - iomap:

    - Change iomap to submit read bios after each extent instead of
      building them up across extents. The old behavior was considered
      problematic for a while and now caused an actual erofs bug.

    - Guard the ioend io_size EOF trim in iomap against underflow when a
      concurrent truncate moves EOF below the start of the ioend,
      wrapping io_size to a huge value.

 - overlayfs

    - Fix a stale overlayfs comment about the locking order.

    - Store the linked-in upper dentry instead of the disconnected
      O_TMPFILE dentry during overlayfs tmpfile copy-up. With a FUSE or
      virtiofs upper layer ->d_revalidate() would try to look up "/" in
      the workdir and fail, causing persistent ESTALE errors that broke
      dpkg and apt.

 - vfs-bpf:

   Have the bpf_real_data_inode() kfunc take a struct file instead of a
   dentry so it is usable from the bprm_check_security, mmap_file, and
   file_mprotect hooks, and rename it from bpf_real_inode() to make the
   data-inode semantics explicit. The kfunc landed this cycle so the
   change is safe.

 - afs:

   NULL pointer dereferences in the callback service and in
   afs_get_tree(), several memory and refcount leaks, missing locking
   around the dynamic root inode numbers and premature cell exposure
   through /afs, a netns destruction hang caused by a misplaced
   increment of net->cells_outstanding, a bulk lookup malfunction caused
   by the dir_emit() API change, inode (re)initialisation issues, and
   assorted smaller fixes to error codes, seqlock handling, and debug
   output.

 - vfs:

   Refuse O_TMPFILE creation with an unmapped fsuid or fsgid and add a
   selftest for it.

 - vboxsf:

   Add Jori Koolstra as vboxsf maintainer, taking over from Hans de
   Goede.

 - dio:

   Release the pages attached to a short atomic dio bio; the REQ_ATOMIC
   size check error path leaked them.

 - procfs:

   Only bump the parent directory link count when registering
   directories in procfs. Registering regular files inflated the count
   and leaked a link on every create and remove cycle.

 - minix:

   Avoid an unsigned overflow in the minix bitmap block count
   calculation that let crafted images with huge inode or zone counts
   pass superblock validation and crash the kernel during mount.

 - cachefiles:

   Fix a double unlock in the cachefiles nomem_d_alloc error path left
   over from the start_creating() conversion.

 - fat:

   Stop fat from reading directory entries past the 0x00
   end-of-directory marker. If the trailing on-disk slots aren't
   zero-filled the driver surfaced arbitrary garbage as directory
   entries.

 - freexvfs:

   Don't BUG() on unknown typed-extent types in freevxfs, reachable via
   ioctl(FIBMAP) on a crafted image; fail with an I/O error instead.

 - orangefs:

   Keep the readdir entry size 64-bit in orangefs fill_from_part().
   Truncating it to __u32 bypassed the bounds check and led to
   out-of-bounds reads triggerable by the userspace client.

 - xfs:

   Fix the error unwind in xfs_open_devices() which released the rt
   device file twice and left dangling buftarg pointers behind that were
   freed again when the failed mount was torn down.

 - exec:

   Fix an off-by-one in the comment documenting the maximum binfmt
   rewrite depth in exec_binprm(). The code allows five rewrites, not
   four; restricting the code would break userspace so the comment is
   fixed instead.

 - file handles:

   Reject detached mounts in capable_wrt_mount(). A detached mount can
   be dissolved concurrently, leaving a NULL mount namespace that
   open_by_handle_at() would dereference.

iov_iter: Fix a memory leak in iov_iter_extract_user_pages()

2026-07-01T13:26:29+00:00

There's a potential memory leak in callers of iov_iter_extract_user_pages()
whereby if a pages array is allocated in function, it isn't freed before
returning of an error or 0.

Now, it's not a leak per se in iov_iter_extract_user_pages() as, if an
array is allocated, it's returned through *pages, so it's incumbent on the
caller to free it.  However, not all callers do.

Fix this by freeing the table and clearing *pages before returning an error
or 0.  Note that iov_iter_extract_pages() and its subfunctions are allowed
to return 0 without returning an array (for instance if the iterator count
is 0).

iov_iter: Fix potential underflow in iov_iter_extract_xarray_pages()

2026-07-01T13:26:28+00:00

In iov_iter_extract_xarray_pages(), if no pages are extracted because
there's a hole (or something otherwise unextractable) in the xarray, then
the calculation of maxsize at the end can go wrong if the starting offset
is not zero.

Fix this by returning 0 in such a case and freeing the page array if
allocated here rather than being passed in.

Note that in the near future, ITER_XARRAY should be removed.

bootconfig: fix NULL-pointer arithmetic in xbc_snprint_cmdline()

2026-06-30T23:08:27+00:00

xbc_snprint_cmdline() is meant to be called twice: first with
buf=NULL, size=0 to probe the rendered length, then with a real
buffer to fill it (the standard snprintf() two-pass pattern). The
probe call makes the function compute "buf + size" (NULL + 0) and,
on every iteration, advance "buf += ret" from that NULL base and
pass the result back into snprintf().

Pointer arithmetic on a NULL pointer is undefined behavior. It is
harmless in the in-kernel callers today, but the follow-up patches
run this same code in the userspace tools/bootconfig parser at kernel
build time, where host UBSan / FORTIFY_SOURCE abort the build.

Track a running written length (size_t) instead of mutating @buf, and
only form "buf + len" when @buf is non-NULL. snprintf(NULL, 0, ...)
is itself well defined and returns the would-be length, so the
two-pass "probe then fill" usage returns identical byte counts.
