2026-03-12tty: tty_port: add workqueue to flip TTY bufferXin Zhao
On the embedded platform, certain critical data, such as IMU data, is transmitted through UART. The tty_flip_buffer_push() interface in the TTY layer uses system_dfl_wq to handle the flipping of the TTY buffer. Although the unbound workqueue can create new threads on demand and wake up the kworker thread on an idle CPU, it may be preempted by real-time tasks or other high-prio tasks. flush_to_ldisc() needs to wake up the relevant data handle thread. When executing __wake_up_common_lock(), it calls spin_lock_irqsave(), which does not disable preemption but disables migration in RT-Linux. This prevents the kworker thread from being migrated to other cores by CPU's balancing logic, resulting in long delays. The call trace is as follows: __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up ep_poll_callback __wake_up_common __wake_up_common_lock __wake_up n_tty_receive_buf_common n_tty_receive_buf2 tty_ldisc_receive_buf tty_port_default_receive_buf flush_to_ldisc In our system, the processing interval for each frame of IMU data transmitted via UART can experience significant jitter due to this issue. Instead of the expected 10 to 15 ms frame processing interval, we see spikes up to 30 to 35 ms. Moreover, in just one or two hours, there can be 2 to 3 occurrences of such high jitter, which is quite frequent. This jitter exceeds the software's tolerable limit of 20 ms. Introduce flip_wq in tty_port which can be set by tty_port_link_wq() or as default linked to default workqueue allocated when tty_register_driver(). The default workqueue is allocated with flag WQ_SYSFS, so that cpumask and nice can be set dynamically. The execution timing of tty_port_link_wq() is not clearly restricted. The newly added function tty_port_link_driver_wq() checks whether the flip_wq of the tty_port has already been assigned when linking the default tty_driver's workqueue to the port. After the user has set a custom workqueue for a certain tty_port using tty_port_link_wq(), the system will only use this custom workqueue, even if tty_driver does not have %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag. When tty_port register device, flip_wq link operation is done by tty_port_link_driver_wq(), but for in-memory devices the link operation cannot cover all the cases. Although tty_port_install() is dedicated for in-memory devices lik PTY to link port allocated on demand, the logic of tty_port_install() is so simple that people may not call it, vc_cons[0].d->port is one such case. We check the buf.flip_wq when flip TTY buffer, if buf.flip_wq of TTY port is NULL, use system_dfl_wq as a backup. To avoid naming conflict of the default tty_driver's workqueue, using '"%s-%s", driver->name, driver->driver_name' as the workqueue name. In cases where driver_name is not specified and therefore is NULL, the workqueue is not created. Drivers that do not define driver_name are potentially in-memory devices like vty, which generally do not require special workqueue settings. Even with the combination of name and driver_name, the workqueue names can still be duplicated, as many tty serial drivers use "ttyS" as dev_name and "serial" as driver_name. I modified the conflicting driver_name of these drivers by appending a suffix of _xx based on the corresponding .c file. If this modification is not made, it could not only lead to duplicate workqueue names but also result in duplicate entries for the /proc/tty/driver/<driver_name> nodes. Introduce %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag meaning not to create the default single tty_driver workqueue. Two reasons why need to introduce the %TTY_DRIVER_NO_WORKQUEUE flag: 1. If the WQ_SYSFS parameter is enabled, workqueue_sysfs_register() will fail when trying to create a workqueue with the same name. The pty is an example of this; if both CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS and CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are enabled, the call to tty_register_driver() in unix98_pty_init() will fail. 2. Different TTY ports may be used for different tasks, which may require separate core binding control via workqueues. In this case, the workqueue created by default in the TTY driver is unnecessary. Enabling this flag prevents the creation of this redundant workqueue. After applying this patch, we can set the related UART TTY flip buffer workqueue by sysfs. We set the cpumask to CPU cores associated with the IMU tasks, and set the nice to -20. Testing has shown significant improvement in the previously described issue, with almost no stuttering occurring anymore.

2026-03-12vt: add KT_CSI keysym type for modifier-aware CSI sequencesNicolas Pitre
Add a new keysym type KT_CSI that generates CSI tilde sequences with automatic modifier encoding. The keysym value encodes the CSI parameter number, producing sequences like ESC [ <value> ~ or ESC [ <value> ; <mod> ~ when Shift, Alt, or Ctrl modifiers are held. This allows navigation keys (Home, End, Insert, Delete, PgUp, PgDn) and function keys to generate modifier-aware escape sequences without consuming string table entries for each modifier combination. Define key symbols for navigation keys (K_CSI_HOME, K_CSI_END, etc.) and function keys (K_CSI_F1 through K_CSI_F20) using standard xterm CSI parameter values. The modifier encoding follows the xterm convention: mod = 1 + (shift ? 1 : 0) + (alt ? 2 : 0) + (ctrl ? 4 : 0) Allowed CSI parameter values range from 0 to 99. Note: The Linux console historically uses a non-standard double-bracket format for F1-F5 (ESC [ [ A through ESC [ [ E) rather than the xterm tilde format (ESC [ 11 ~ through ESC [ 15 ~). The K_CSI_F1 through K_CSI_F5 definitions use the xterm format. Converting F1-F5 to KT_CSI would require updating the "linux" terminfo entry to match. Navigation keys and F6-F20 already use the tilde format and are fully compatible.

2026-03-12namespace: allow creating empty mount namespacesChristian Brauner
Add support for creating a mount namespace that contains only a copy of the root mount from the caller's mount namespace, with none of the child mounts. This is useful for containers and sandboxes that want to start with a minimal mount table and populate it from scratch rather than inheriting and then tearing down the full mount tree. Two new flags are introduced: - CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag space. - UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS for unshare(), reusing the CLONE_PARENT_SETTID bit which has no meaning for unshare. Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. For the unshare path, UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS is converted to CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS in unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() before it reaches copy_mnt_ns(), so the mount namespace code only needs to handle a single flag. In copy_mnt_ns(), when CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS is set, clone_mnt() is used instead of copy_tree() to clone only the root mount. The caller's root and working directory are both reset to the root dentry of the new mount. The cleanup variables are changed from vfsmount pointers with __free(mntput) to struct path with __free(path_put) because the empty mount namespace path needs to release both mount and dentry references when replacing the caller's root and pwd. In the normal (non-empty) path only the mount component is set, and dput(NULL) is a no-op so path_put remains correct there as well.

2026-03-12mount: add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACEChristian Brauner
Add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE flag to fsmount() that creates a new mount namespace with the newly created filesystem attached to a copy of the real rootfs. This returns a namespace file descriptor instead of an O_PATH mount fd, similar to how OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE works for open_tree(). This allows creating a new filesystem and immediately placing it in a new mount namespace in a single operation, which is useful for container runtimes and other namespace-based isolation mechanisms. The rootfs mount is created before copying the real rootfs for the new namespace meaning that the mount namespace id for the mount of the root of the namespace is bigger than the child mounted on top of it. We've never explicitly given the guarantee for such ordering and I doubt anyone relies on it. Accepting that lets us avoid copying the mount again and also avoids having to massage may_copy_tree() to grant an exception for fsmount->mnt->mnt_ns being NULL.

2026-03-12vsock: add G2H fallback for CIDs not owned by H2G transportAlexander Graf
When no H2G transport is loaded, vsock currently routes all CIDs to the G2H transport (commit 65b422d9b61b ("vsock: forward all packets to the host when no H2G is registered"). Extend that existing behavior: when an H2G transport is loaded but does not claim a given CID, the connection falls back to G2H in the same way. This matters in environments like Nitro Enclaves, where an instance may run nested VMs via vhost-vsock (H2G) while also needing to reach sibling enclaves at higher CIDs through virtio-vsock-pci (G2H). With the old code, any CID > 2 was unconditionally routed to H2G when vhost was loaded, making those enclaves unreachable without setting VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST explicitly on every connect. Requiring every application to set VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST creates friction: tools like socat, iperf, and others would all need to learn about it. The flag was introduced 6 years ago and I am still not aware of any tool that supports it. Even if there was support, it would be cumbersome to use. The most natural experience is a single CID address space where H2G only wins for CIDs it actually owns, and everything else falls through to G2H, extending the behavior that already exists when H2G is absent. To give user space at least a hint that the kernel applied this logic, automatically set the VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST on the remote address so it can determine the path taken via getpeername(). Add a per-network namespace sysctl net.vsock.g2h_fallback (default 1). At 0 it forces strict routing: H2G always wins for CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST, or ENODEV if H2G is not loaded.

Add a new VM_BIND flag, DRM_XE_VM_BIND_FLAG_DECOMPRESS, that lets userspace express intent for the driver to perform on-device in-place decompression for the GPU mapping created by a MAP bind operation. This flag is used by subsequent driver changes to trigger scheduling of GPU work that resolves compressed VRAM pages into an uncompressed PAT VM mapping. Behavior and semantics: - Valid only for DRM_XE_VM_BIND_OP_MAP. IOCTLs using this flag on other ops are rejected (-EINVAL). - The bind's pat_index must select the device "no-compression" PAT entry; otherwise the ioctl is rejected (-EINVAL). - Only meaningful for VRAM-backed BOs on devices that support Flat CCS and the required hardware generation (driver will return -EOPNOTSUPP if not). - On success the driver schedules a migrate/resolve and installs the returned dma_fence into the BO's kernel reservation (DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL).

2026-03-11pidfd: add CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILLChristian Brauner
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL that ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from clone3(). When the last reference to the struct file created by clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process does not keep the child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the specific struct file from clone3() has this property. This is useful for container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent crashes or abandons the pidfd. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD (the whole point is tying lifetime to the pidfd file) and CLONE_AUTOREAP (a killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie). CLONE_THREAD is rejected because autokill targets a process not a thread. The clone3 pidfd is identified by the PIDFD_AUTOKILL file flag set on the struct file at clone3() time. The pidfs .release handler checks this flag and sends SIGKILL via do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, SEND_SIG_PRIV, ...) only when it is set. Files from pidfd_open() or open_by_handle_at() are distinct struct files that do not carry this flag. dup()/fork() share the same struct file so they extend the child's lifetime until the last reference drops. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL uses a privilege model based on CLONE_NNP: without CLONE_NNP the child could escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being spawned, so the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace. With CLONE_NNP the child can never gain new privileges so unprivileged usage is allowed. This is a deliberate departure from the pdeath_signal model which is reset during secureexec and commit_creds() rendering it useless for container runtimes that need to deprivilege themselves.

2026-03-11clone: add CLONE_AUTOREAPChristian Brauner
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_AUTOREAP that makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent. Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of specific children while still being able to wait() on others. CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when it eventually exits. CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget pattern where the parent simply doesn't care about the child's exit status. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero. CLONE_AUTOREAP is rejected in combination with CLONE_PARENT. If a CLONE_AUTOREAP child were to clone(CLONE_PARENT) the new grandchild would inherit exit_signal == 0 from the autoreap parent's group leader but without signal->autoreap. This grandchild would become a zombie that never sends a signal and is never autoreaped - confusing and arguably broken behavior. The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children. Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created with CLONE_AUTOREAP.

2026-03-11io_uring: ensure ctx->rings is stable for task work flags manipulationJens Axboe
If DEFER_TASKRUN | SETUP_TASKRUN is used and task work is added while the ring is being resized, it's possible for the OR'ing of IORING_SQ_TASKRUN to happen in the small window of swapping into the new rings and the old rings being freed. Prevent this by adding a 2nd ->rings pointer, ->rings_rcu, which is protected by RCU. The task work flags manipulation is inside RCU already, and if the resize ring freeing is done post an RCU synchronize, then there's no need to add locking to the fast path of task work additions. Note: this is only done for DEFER_TASKRUN, as that's the only setup mode that supports ring resizing. If this ever changes, then they too need to use the io_ctx_mark_taskrun() helper.

2026-03-11usb: core: new quirk to handle devices with zero configurationsJie Deng
Some USB devices incorrectly report bNumConfigurations as 0 in their device descriptor, which causes the USB core to reject them during enumeration. logs: usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71 usb 1-2: no configurations usb 1-2: can't read configurations, error -22 However, these devices actually work correctly when treated as having a single configuration. Add a new quirk USB_QUIRK_FORCE_ONE_CONFIG to handle such devices. When this quirk is set, assume the device has 1 configuration instead of failing with -EINVAL. This quirk is applied to the device with VID:PID 5131:2007 which exhibits this behavior.

2026-03-11USB: core: Limit the length of unkillable synchronous timeoutsAlan Stern
The usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and usb_interrupt_msg() APIs in usbcore allow unlimited timeout durations. And since they use uninterruptible waits, this leaves open the possibility of hanging a task for an indefinitely long time, with no way to kill it short of unplugging the target device. To prevent this sort of problem, enforce a maximum limit on the length of these unkillable timeouts. The limit chosen here, somewhat arbitrarily, is 60 seconds. On many systems (although not all) this is short enough to avoid triggering the kernel's hung-task detector. In addition, clear up the ambiguity of negative timeout values by treating them the same as 0, i.e., using the maximum allowed timeout.

2026-03-11USB: usbcore: Introduce usb_bulk_msg_killable()Alan Stern
The synchronous message API in usbcore (usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and so on) uses uninterruptible waits. However, drivers may call these routines in the context of a user thread, which means it ought to be possible to at least kill them. For this reason, introduce a new usb_bulk_msg_killable() function which behaves the same as usb_bulk_msg() except for using wait_for_completion_killable_timeout() instead of wait_for_completion_timeout(). The same can be done later for usb_control_msg() later on, if it turns out to be needed.

Add support for responding to Sink Cap Extended msg request. To achieve this, include parsing support for DT properties related to Sink Cap Extended. The request for Sink Cap Ext is a control message while the response is an extended message (chunked). As the Sink Caps Extended Data Block size (24 Byte) is less than MaxExtendedMsgChunkLen (26 Byte), a single chunk is sufficient to complete this AMS. Supporting sink cap extended messages while responding to a Get_Sink_Caps_Extended request when port is in Sink role is required in order to be compliant with at least USB PD Rev3.1 Ver1.8.

2026-03-11HID: input: Add HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_DYNAMIC for Elan touchscreensHans de Goede
Elan touchscreens have a HID-battery device for the stylus which is always there even if there is no stylus. This is causing upower to report an empty battery for the stylus and some desktop-environments will show a notification about this, which is quite annoying. Because of this the HID-battery is being ignored on all Elan I2c and USB touchscreens, but this causes there to be no battery reporting for the stylus at all. This adds a new HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_DYNAMIC and uses these for the Elan touchscreens. This new quirks causes the present value of the battery to start at 0, which will make userspace ignore it and only sets present to 1 after receiving a battery input report which only happens when the stylus gets in range.
