 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - KUnit '#[test]'s:

      - Support KUnit-mapped 'assert!' macros.

        The support that landed last cycle was very basic, and the
        'assert!' macros panicked since they were the standard library
        ones. Now, they are mapped to the KUnit ones in a similar way to
        how is done for doctests, reusing the infrastructure there.

        With this, a failing test like:

            #[test]
            fn my_first_test() {
                assert_eq!(42, 43);
            }

        will report:

            # my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251
            Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false
            # my_first_test.speed: normal
            not ok 1 my_first_test

      - Support tests with checked 'Result' return types.

        The return value of test functions that return a 'Result' will
        be checked, thus one can now easily catch errors when e.g. using
        the '?' operator in tests.

        With this, a failing test like:

            #[test]
            fn my_test() -&gt; Result {
                f()?;
                Ok(())
            }

        will report:

            # my_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:321
            Expected is_test_result_ok(my_test()) to be true, but is false
            # my_test.speed: normal
            not ok 1 my_test

      - Add 'kunit_tests' to the prelude.

   - Clarify the remaining language unstable features in use.

   - Compile 'core' with edition 2024 for Rust &gt;= 1.87.

   - Workaround 'bindgen' issue with forward references to 'enum' types.

   - objtool: relax slice condition to cover more 'noreturn' functions.

   - Use absolute paths in macros referencing 'core' and 'kernel'
     crates.

   - Skip '-mno-fdpic' flag for bindgen in GCC 32-bit arm builds.

   - Clean some 'doc_markdown' lint hits -- we may enable it later on.

  'kernel' crate:

   - 'alloc' module:

      - 'Box': support for type coercion, e.g. 'Box&lt;T&gt;' to 'Box&lt;dyn U&gt;'
        if 'T' implements 'U'.

      - 'Vec': implement new methods (prerequisites for nova-core and
        binder): 'truncate', 'resize', 'clear', 'pop',
        'push_within_capacity' (with new error type 'PushError'),
        'drain_all', 'retain', 'remove' (with new error type
        'RemoveError'), insert_within_capacity' (with new error type
        'InsertError').

        In addition, simplify 'push' using 'spare_capacity_mut', split
        'set_len' into 'inc_len' and 'dec_len', add type invariant 'len
        &lt;= capacity' and simplify 'truncate' using 'dec_len'.

   - 'time' module:

      - Morph the Rust hrtimer subsystem into the Rust timekeeping
        subsystem, covering delay, sleep, timekeeping, timers. This new
        subsystem has all the relevant timekeeping C maintainers listed
        in the entry.

      - Replace 'Ktime' with 'Delta' and 'Instant' types to represent a
        duration of time and a point in time.

      - Temporarily add 'Ktime' to 'hrtimer' module to allow 'hrtimer'
        to delay converting to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.

   - 'xarray' module:

      - Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This
        abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store
        types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a
        dependency for memory backing feature of the Rust null block
        driver, which is waiting to be merged.

      - Set up an entry in 'MAINTAINERS' for the XArray Rust support.
        Patches will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the
        Rust subsystem tree for now.

      - Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to
        type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the
        pointer passed to the foreign language.

   - 'container_of!': retain pointer mut-ness and add a compile-time
     check of the type of the first parameter ('$field_ptr').

   - Support optional message in 'static_assert!'.

   - Add C FFI types (e.g. 'c_int') to the prelude.

   - 'str' module: simplify KUnit tests 'format!' macro, convert
     'rusttest' tests into KUnit, take advantage of the '-&gt; Result'
     support in KUnit '#[test]'s.

   - 'list' module: add examples for 'List', fix path of
     'assert_pinned!' (so far unused macro rule).

   - 'workqueue' module: remove 'HasWork::OFFSET'.

   - 'page' module: add 'inline' attribute.

  'macros' crate:

   - 'module' macro: place 'cleanup_module()' in '.exit.text' section.

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Add 'Wrapper&lt;T&gt;' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper
     structs with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell&lt;T&gt;' or
     'MaybeUninit&lt;T&gt;'.

   - Add 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but
     not error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive
     'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs.

   - Add 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the
     initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the
     'Wrapper&lt;T&gt;' implementations.

   - Add support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro.

   - Add support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro.

   - Upstream dev news: streamline CI, fix some bugs. Add new workflows
     to check if the user-space version and the one in the kernel tree
     have diverged. Use the issues tab [1] to track them, which should
     help folks report and diagnose issues w.r.t. 'pin-init' better.

       [1] https://github.com/rust-for-linux/pin-init/issues

  Documentation:

   - Testing: add docs on the new KUnit '#[test]' tests.

   - Coding guidelines: explain that '///' vs. '//' applies to private
     items too. Add section on C FFI types.

   - Quick Start guide: update Ubuntu instructions and split them into
     "25.04" and "24.04 LTS and older".

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

<title>memcg: nmi safe memcg stats for specific archs</title>

<id>940b01fc8dc1aead398819215650727cb9e7335e</id>
<content type='text'>
There are archs which have NMI but does not support this_cpu_* ops safely
in the nmi context but they support safe atomic ops in nmi context.  For
such archs, let's add infra to use atomic ops for the memcg stats which
can be updated in nmi.

At the moment, the memcg stats which get updated in the objcg charging
path are MEMCG_KMEM, NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B &amp; NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B. 
Rather than adding support for all memcg stats to be nmi safe, let's just
add infra to make these three stats nmi safe which this patch is doing.

There are archs which have NMI but does not support this_cpu_* ops safely
in the nmi context but they support safe atomic ops in nmi context.  For
such archs, let's add infra to use atomic ops for the memcg stats which
can be updated in nmi.

At the moment, the memcg stats which get updated in the objcg charging
path are MEMCG_KMEM, NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B &amp; NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B. 
Rather than adding support for all memcg stats to be nmi safe, let's just
add infra to make these three stats nmi safe which this patch is doing.

<title>memcg: disable kmem charging in nmi for unsupported arch</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "memcg: nmi-safe kmem charging", v4.

Users can attached their BPF programs at arbitrary execution points in the
kernel and such BPF programs may run in nmi context.  In addition, these
programs can trigger memcg charged kernel allocations in the nmi context. 
However memcg charging infra for kernel memory is not equipped to handle
nmi context for all architectures.

This series removes the hurdles to enable kmem charging in the nmi context
for most of the archs.  For archs without CONFIG_HAVE_NMI, this series is
a noop.  For archs with NMI support and have
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS, the previous work to make memcg
stats re-entrant is sufficient for allowing kmem charging in nmi context. 
For archs with NMI support but without
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and with ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG,
this series added infra to support kmem charging in nmi context.  Lastly
those archs with NMI support but without
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, kmem
charging in nmi context is not supported at all.

Mostly used archs have support for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS
and this series should be almost a noop (other than making
memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe) for such archs.  


This patch (of 5):

The memcg accounting and stats uses this_cpu* and atomic* ops.  There are
archs which define CONFIG_HAVE_NMI but does not define
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so
memcg accounting for such archs in nmi context is not possible to support.
Let's just disable memcg accounting in nmi context for such archs.

<title>rust: kunit: support KUnit-mapped `assert!` macros in `#[test]`s</title>
<updated>2025-05-27T18:07:09+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Miguel Ojeda</name>

<published>2025-05-02T21:51:26+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=36174d16f3ec072f9e07b6c6d59ba91b2d52f9e2'/>
<id>36174d16f3ec072f9e07b6c6d59ba91b2d52f9e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The KUnit `#[test]` support that landed recently is very basic and does
not map the `assert*!` macros into KUnit like the doctests do, so they
panic at the moment.

Thus implement the custom mapping in a similar way to doctests, reusing
the infrastructure there.

In Rust 1.88.0, the `file()` method in `Span` may be stable [1]. However,
it was changed recently (from `SourceFile`), so we need to do something
different in previous versions. Thus create a helper for it and use it
to get the path.

With this, a failing test suite like:

    #[kunit_tests(my_test_suite)]
    mod tests {
        use super::*;

        #[test]
        fn my_first_test() {
            assert_eq!(42, 43);
        }

        #[test]
        fn my_second_test() {
            assert!(42 &gt;= 43);
        }
    }

will properly map back to KUnit, printing something like:

    [    1.924325]     KTAP version 1
    [    1.924421]     # Subtest: my_test_suite

    [    1.924525]     1..2
    [    1.926385]     # my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251
    [    1.926385]     Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Use folios for symlinks in the page cache

     FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
     in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
     folio-&gt;page-&gt;folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
     remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()

   - Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
     inode-&gt;i_mutex level

   - Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations

     Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
     allow through out sysctl interface

     A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
     involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
     dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
     million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
     after initialization

     To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
     Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
     trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
     cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
     the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
     operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
     recovery completes

     To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
     during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
     of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
     patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
     pressure control

     The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
     vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
     million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
     restart performance degradation

   - Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()

   - Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
     descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()

   - Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()

   - Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
     issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
     Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
     report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode

   - Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
     the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op-&gt;setattr isn't
     implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
     user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
     useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
     respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
     own private superblock

   - Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock

   - Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior

   - Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
     we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()

  Cleanups:

   - Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers

   - Try to remove the uselib() system call

   - Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll

   - Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select

   - Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse

   - Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()

   - Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages

   - Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
     documentation

   - Update main netfs API document

   - Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()

   - Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()

   - Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases

  Fixes:

   - Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description

   - Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()

   - Correct comments of fs_validate_description()

   - Mark an unlikely if condition with unlikely() in
     vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()

   - Delete macro fsparam_u32hex()

   - Remove unused and problematic validate_constant_table()

   - Fix potential unsigned integer underflow in fs_name()

   - Make file-nr output the total allocated file handles"
