<title>selftests: net: Add exception cache tests</title>

<id>c923c14942b164cfc2c1efa4e6324214f2fc248a</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a test for the IPv4 and IPv6 exception caches, covering the
exceptions that are created in response to ICMP errors quoting a UDP
packet.

The topology consists of a host (h1) that reaches a remote host (h2)
via a router (r1), with a second router (r2) attached to the segment
shared by h1 and r1. UDP packets are injected using a packet socket, so
that an ICMP error quoting them is only matched to a socket when one was
opened separately with the same source port. PMTU errors are provoked by
lowering the MTU of the far end of the path and redirects by pointing
r1's route towards h2 back over the segment it received the packet from.

The following is tested for both address families and for both PMTU and
redirect exceptions:

* An error that is not matched to a socket creates an exception that
  carries the new MTU or gateway.
* An error that is matched to a socket creates the same exception.

The PMTU tests further verify that a lower PMTU replaces the one stored
in the exception whereas a higher one does not, and that a socket which
disabled PMTU discovery using IP{,V6}_PMTUDISC_OMIT gets the same
exception as the other cases.

Without "ipv4: udp: Create exceptions before socket matching" and "ipv6:
udp: Create exceptions before socket matching", the tests that do not
open a socket fail:

 # ./exception_cache.sh
 TEST: IPv4: PMTU: exception without a matching socket               [FAIL]
         No socket: exception does not carry an MTU of 1400
 TEST: IPv6: PMTU: exception without a matching socket               [FAIL]
         No socket: exception does not carry an MTU of 1400
 TEST: IPv4: PMTU: exception with a matching socket                  [ OK ]
 TEST: IPv6: PMTU: exception with a matching socket                  [ OK ]
 TEST: IPv4: PMTU: exception with a socket ignoring it               [FAIL]
         PMTU discovery disabled: exception does not carry an MTU of 1400
 TEST: IPv6: PMTU: exception with a socket ignoring it               [FAIL]
         PMTU discovery disabled: exception does not carry an MTU of 1400
 TEST: IPv4: Redirect: exception without a matching socket           [FAIL]
         No socket: exception does not carry the new gateway
 TEST: IPv6: Redirect: exception without a matching socket           [FAIL]
         No socket: exception does not carry the new gateway
 TEST: IPv4: Redirect: exception with a matching socket              [ OK ]
 TEST: IPv6: Redirect: exception with a matching socket              [ OK ]

<title>selftests: tc-testing: add u32 node ID pool exhaustion test</title>

<id>7b120a771943ffc3cbce787daecdd23eccb0505f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a tdc test case that fills the u32 node ID space with 4095
auto-generated handles, then attempts to add a 4096th. On the fixed
kernel the 4096th filter is rejected with ENOSPC (exit 2). On the
unfixed kernel it silently succeeds with a duplicate handle.

The setup pipes the 4095 add commands directly into `tc -b -` inside a
single bash -c (matching the existing test id 1234 pattern), avoiding
any temp file.

Once cgroup.kill had been written to a cgroup, a stale kill_seq
snapshot (taken in cgroup_css_set_fork() before the target cgroup was
resolved) caused every child subsequently cloned into that cgroup with
clone3(CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) to be SIGKILLed on the spot.

Add a regression test: create a cgroup, kill it while it is empty,
then clone a child into it and check that the child runs and exits
cleanly. On a kernel without the fix, the test fails:

  not ok 4 test_cgkill_clone_into_killed

The test is skipped on kernels without clone3() or without
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP.

<title>vxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del()</title>

<id>4aa61c88b4e292e10abdfd791334b8272108d68a</id>
<content type='text'>
vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which validates MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE and every
MDBE_ATTR_SRC_LIST member, accepts the all-zeros address.

A source list is only accepted on a (*, G) entry, whose source is the
all-zeros address, and for each member of the list an (S, G) entry is
derived from it by substituting the source. Entries are keyed by a plain
memcmp() of struct vxlan_mdb_entry_key, so if MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is present
and holds the all-zeros address and the source list holds it as well, the
derived (S, G) key is byte-identical to the (*, G) key and resolves to the
same entry. Omitting MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is not equivalent, as the key is
then left with a zero address family.

vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del() removes the forwarding entry of a source before
freeing the source entry:

	vxlan_mdb_remote_src_fwd_del(vxlan, group, remote, &amp;ent-&gt;addr);
	vxlan_mdb_remote_src_entry_del(ent);

With the keys aliased, the first call deletes the remote of the entry that
owns 'ent' instead of a separate (S, G) entry, and frees 'ent'. The second
call then runs on the freed entry, and its hlist_del() reads -&gt;pprev and
-&gt;next out of it and writes through them.

Adding the (*, G) entry with NLM_F_REPLACE and no source list marks the
all-zeros source for deletion and reaches this from the sweep at the end
of vxlan_mdb_remote_srcs_replace().

The MDB operations are netns-scoped, so an unprivileged user can perform
them in a new user and network namespace.

Reject the all-zeros address in vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which covers
both call sites. A (*, G) entry is expressed by omitting the source, so

vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which validates MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE and every
MDBE_ATTR_SRC_LIST member, accepts the all-zeros address.

A source list is only accepted on a (*, G) entry, whose source is the
all-zeros address, and for each member of the list an (S, G) entry is
derived from it by substituting the source. Entries are keyed by a plain
memcmp() of struct vxlan_mdb_entry_key, so if MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is present
and holds the all-zeros address and the source list holds it as well, the
derived (S, G) key is byte-identical to the (*, G) key and resolves to the
same entry. Omitting MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is not equivalent, as the key is
then left with a zero address family.

vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del() removes the forwarding entry of a source before
freeing the source entry:

	vxlan_mdb_remote_src_fwd_del(vxlan, group, remote, &amp;ent-&gt;addr);
	vxlan_mdb_remote_src_entry_del(ent);

With the keys aliased, the first call deletes the remote of the entry that
owns 'ent' instead of a separate (S, G) entry, and frees 'ent'. The second
call then runs on the freed entry, and its hlist_del() reads -&gt;pprev and
-&gt;next out of it and writes through them.

Adding the (*, G) entry with NLM_F_REPLACE and no source list marks the
all-zeros source for deletion and reaches this from the sweep at the end
of vxlan_mdb_remote_srcs_replace().

The MDB operations are netns-scoped, so an unprivileged user can perform
them in a new user and network namespace.

Reject the all-zeros address in vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which covers
both call sites. A (*, G) entry is expressed by omitting the source, so
nothing legitimate is refused.

Drive a connection into urgent mode and force a multi-segment retransmit,
checking that each retransmitted segment keeps its own urg_ptr.

The test asserts the fixed behaviour: the hole is retransmitted as two
independent skbs, each with its own urg_ptr (5001 and 4001) and no PSH.
An unpatched kernel instead sends one super-skb whose GSO split copies
urg_ptr onto the second segment and also sets PSH there, so on an unpatched
kernel the mismatch shows up on the PSH bit (actual P.U ... urg 5001) before
the urg_ptr:

	tcp_urg_ptr_retransmit.pkt:63: live packet field tcp_psh:
		expected: 0 (0x0) vs actual: 1 (0x1)
	script packet:  .U 1001:2001(1000) ack 1
	actual packet:  P.U 1001:2001(1000) ack 1 win 1050

After the fix the retransmit carries a per-segment urg_ptr and the test
passes.

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.

   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.
