Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov:
"A wide variety of mostly CephFS fixes and cleanups, split between
changes that address edge cases (Sam, Xiubo, Matthew), efficiency
improvements (Max) and AI-assisted hardening (Michael, Jeremy).
One thing that stands out is Alex's change to how CephFS behaves in
NEARFULL scenarios: the long-standing "make all writes synchronous"
behavior has become opt-in. It was always somewhat controversial and
doesn't make much sense for modern deployments; the new default is to
continue normal operation (i.e. buffer writes as MDS allows, etc). The
behavior in case the cluster reaches any FULL state remains the same
as before"

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, key enhancements focus on reducing inode management
memory overhead, introducing resizable tail sections with unified
pinned allocation, and boosting I/O throughput via parallel
multi-device flushes and asynchronous f2fs_write_end_io() execution.
We also add dynamic device alias reservations to allow on-the-fly
space donation from user partitions.
Alongside these features, critical bug fixes resolve folio race
conditions, lingering dirty flags, dentry and block counter leaks, and
potential deadloops in f2fs_fsync_node_pages(). Additional stability
patches address error-path handling across symlink, sync, and
rename/unlink operations, prevent pinned file fragmentation, and
correct segment migration and free section accounting in
free_segment_range.
Enhancements:
- reduce memory footprint of ino management
- support dynamic reserve/release for device aliasing
- issue multi-device flushes in parallel
- add a way to run f2fs_write_end_io() asynchronously
- support resizable tail section and unify pinned allocation
Bug fixes:
- fix to pass folio->index to f2fs_sanity_check_node_footer()
- fix folio_nr_pages() race after put in large folio invalidate
- fix to clear dirty flag on folio in error path
- accurately adjust free_sections during free_segment_range
- fix to avoid potential deadloop in f2fs_fsync_node_pages()
- fix the error path in symlink, device alias in rename/unlink,
f2fs_sync_fs
- fix to migrate all curseg types during free_segment_range
- fix to avoid pinfile fragment on fragment:{block, segment} mode
- fix valid block count leak on data block allocation failure
- fix dentry folio leak in find_in_level
- reject overlapping move range after len expansion
- fix some bugs related to file pinning, GC functions, i_size
And, the series includes a number of minor bug fixes"

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.

Currently, zoned block devices restrict pinned file allocations to
conventional zones at the beginning of the storage (before
first_seq_zone_segno), triggering range GC when conventional space is
exhausted.
On regular block devices, when preparing for future online filesystem
resizing (e.g. partition shrinking), pinned files must not be allocated
in the tail area that will be truncated, as pinned files cannot be
relocated by GC. Specifying the resizable tail area size (in sections)
allows uniform mount configuration across devices of different storage
capacities.
To support this, introduce a unified `pinned_area_max_secno` boundary
abstraction in `f2fs_sb_info`:
1. Add `-o resizable_tail_secno=%u` mount option to specify the number
of sections at the tail of the filesystem reserved for resizing.
2. In `f2fs_fill_super()`, initialize `sbi->pinned_area_max_secno` as:
min(MAIN_SECS(sbi) - resizable_tail_sec, zoned_max_sec).
3. In `get_new_segment()`, restrict segment allocation for pinned files
(`pinning == true`) to `0 .. sbi->pinned_area_max_secno - 1`. If no
free section is available in the pinned area, return -EAGAIN.
4. In `f2fs_allocate_pinning_section()`, unify the range GC trigger to
run `f2fs_gc_range()` up to `sbi->pinned_area_max_secno` whenever
`sbi->pinned_area_max_secno < MAIN_SECS(sbi)` and allocation
returns -EAGAIN.
5. Expose `/sys/fs/f2fs/<dev>/pinned_area_max_secno` as a read-only
sysfs node.

The kernel CephFS client has historically treated a cluster or pool
NEARFULL condition as a request to force successful writes through
generic_write_sync(). That effectively turns otherwise buffered writes
into synchronous writes and can cause a severe throughput drop as soon
as a single OSD or the file data pool crosses the nearfull threshold.
On modern large clusters, NEARFULL is primarily an operator health
signal rather than an immediate client-side capacity failure. Operators
can still have substantial usable capacity while a cluster is
rebalancing, splitting PGs, or expanding onto new devices. RBD, RGW and
the userspace CephFS client do not impose this extra client-side
sync-write throttle, so the kernel client behavior is surprising and
operationally painful.
Change the default behavior so NEARFULL no longer changes normal
write-sync semantics. FULL and pool FULL still fail with -ENOSPC, and
explicitly synchronous writes continue to be synced by
generic_write_sync().
Add a nearfull_sync mount option for deployments that want the legacy
backpressure behavior. When this option is set, successful writes are
promoted to IOCB_DSYNC if the cluster or file data pool is marked
NEARFULL, preserving the old behavior for conservative deployments.

Currently swap to and from file systems goes through two indirect calls
between the swap ops and the swap_rw method. Reduce this by directly
providing the swap_ops from the file system.
For this refactor swap_fs_submit into a swap_fs_prepare_rw helper that
initializes the iov_iter on the callers stack so that file systems can
call it directly, and use that to initialize file system specific ops in
the NFS and SMB clients, which then get passed to swap_fs_activate.

ext4 and f2fs don't prevent filesystem-level encrypted files from being
set up directly as swap files. In this case, encryption is bypassed.
No one should be doing this, vs. the methods of encrypted swap that
actually do work (such as swapping to a dm-crypt device, or swapping to a
loopback device on top of a filesystem-level encrypted file).
Nevertheless, to prevent user error, make swapon() explicitly reject this
case. Document this behavior in fscrypt.rst as well.

memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to
tiered or remote storage
- "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
Hildenbrand)
Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
"The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been
overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents
encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two.
Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption
implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now
used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto
hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is
functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code.
The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was
used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now,
"-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used.
To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the
blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW.
Overall, this removes quite a bit of redundant code from ext4, f2fs,
and fs/crypto/. It should make things easier for ongoing filesystem
efforts such as iomap support, large folios, and btrfs encryption
(btrfs had already been planning to use blk-crypto exclusively.)
There are two small behavior changes of note:
- Direct I/O now works on encrypted files even without "-o inlinecrypt",
rather than falling back to buffered I/O. This is effectively a
bugfix, though I'll continue to keep an eye out for any user that
may have been depending on the buffered I/O fallback.
- IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies are no longer supported in certain cases
that didn't make sense and have no known uses.
This has been in linux-next since July 22 with no reported issues. All
encryption xfstests pass on ext4 and f2fs. As usual I've also been
using it on a system with an fscrypt-encrypted home directory. Of
course, the blk-crypto code paths also aren't new and were already
being used on many systems via the inlinecrypt mount option.
In addition to the main change described above, there are a few other
cleanups such as using lock guards for mutexes, improving
documentation, and removing a workaround for outdated gcc versions"

NILFS2 functionality:
- Reject super-root inode sizes whose computed on-disk footprint

- Replace WARN_ON() in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() with
returning -EIO and reporting a filesystem error via nilfs_error()
in the case of corrupted checkpoint count on the storage medium
(Igor Putko)
- Fixed a potential infinite loop in nilfs_clean_segments() reported
by syzbot (Joshua Crofts)
In nilfs_clean_segments(), if err is non-zero, logic logs the error
and sleeps but doesn't abort when it encounters a terminal error
like -EROFS. This causes the thread to loop forever.
Fix this by breaking out of the loop if nilfs_segctor_construct()
returns -EROFS.

Pull overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This lets the merged overlayfs mount itself be idmapped through
mount_setattr(MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP), in addition to the already supported
idmapped lower and upper layers. The same overlay tree can then be
exposed under a different ownership view.
Overlayfs already normalizes every underlying id through the relevant
layer idmap when ovl_copyattr() copies attributes into the overlay
inode. So the overlay inode's i_uid and i_gid are overlay-final ids.
The overlay mount idmap composes on top of that and is applied at the
overlay-inode boundary only while the underlying layers keep being
accessed with the mounter's credentials through their own (possibly
idmapped) mounts.
So this only changes how the caller sees the overlay inode and never
widens the mounter's access to the layers. The second,
mounter-credential check in ovl_permission() against the real inode
stays on the layer idmap.
Most paths need no change because the VFS applies the mount idmap to
the overlay inode before overlayfs runs or after it returns at the
syscall boundary. Overlayfs only has to change where it bypasses the
generic path.
This also included is a fix for a double end_creating() on the
overlayfs casefold-mismatch path"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Bigger cleanups:
- The lockref dead-count handling is tidied up.
The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker
relies on information the caller should not have.
- make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount
namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a
file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be
used to peek under it.
Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that.
But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user
namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged
component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected.
Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents
that bug.
- vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix
that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it.
This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory
was created whereas every other creation operation passed it
explicitly already.
- move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from
the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq.
None of that work relies on per-cpu state and the work item is
enqueued with queue_delayed_work() whose timer is global anyway. So
it may as well benefit from scheduler task placement.
Smaller fixes and cleanups:
- unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() use
clear_and_wake_up_bit()
- the pipe page pools are unified into a single per-pipe pool and the
extra wake_up(rd_wait) is limited to EPOLLET consumers
- eventpoll now computes its timer slack lazily in ep_poll()
- shrink_dcache_for_umount() keeps making progress on busy roots
- excess xarray nodes are freed in clear_inode()
- romfs detects hard link cycles
- the user path of nested backing files is fixed
- pidfd holds exec_update_lock around the namespace ioctl
- non-memcg-aware nr_cached_objects is skipped during memcg slab
shrink
- iomap_write_iter() always returns status

Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
"The bulk of this is the conversion of iomap to a single ->iomap_next()
callback and thus finishing the move to an iterator model.
Every iomap operation drove its iteration through a struct iomap_ops
holding ->iomap_begin() and ->iomap_end(). iomap_iter() only ever sees
those as pointers. That means every step of every iteration is an
indirect call.
This collapses both into one ->iomap_next() callback that finishes the
previous mapping and produces the next one. This lets callers inline
the iteration loop and pass its ->iomap_next() as a compile time
constant. That means the compiler can turn it into a direct and hence
inlineable call.
This also allows future callers to express custom logic to drive the
iteration forward better. xfs, btrfs, ext4, ext2, erofs, f2fs, gfs2,
hpfs, fuse, exfat, zonefs, ntfs, ntfs3 and the block device mapping
are all converted. No functional changes are intended.
This also adds a simple direct I/O path for small reads. On Gen5 NVMe
the __iomap_dio_rw() dominates 4K random reads. The same single-core
io_uring poll mode workload reaches ~3.2M IOPS against the raw block
device but only ~1.92M through ext4 or XFS.
__iomap_dio_rw(), iomap_iter(), iomap_dio_bio_iter() and kfree() were
at the top of the profile. The new path is very lightweight if no
special behavior is requested. The bio comes from a dedicated bioset
and laid out so the whole request is a single cacheline aligned
allocation. Completion runs inline.
That takes ext4 from 1.92M to 2.19M IOPS in the original workload. fio
shows around:
- 4% at libaio queue depths of 64 and up
- around 5% for io_uring
- up to 10% for io_uring poll mode at depth 256
on both ext4 and xfs.
A few other patches:
- iomap_folio_mark_uptodate() lets a filesystem that writes into the
page cache outside the iomap read and write paths keep iomap's
internal uptodate bitmap in sync, which fuse needs for
server-pushed notify stores before it can enable large folios;
- two fixes for iomap_bio_read_folio_range_sync(): a potential crash
when device integrity behavior is changed and a missing
bio_uninit().
- a folio batch release fix on iomap callback failures
- FGP_NOFS is dropped from iomap_get_folio()
- documentation fix"

It was an effort to enhance fscache as a kernel cache for lazy
pulling (at least according to previous Incremental FS discussion [1])
and EROFS over fscache was the in-tree user of this mode.
fscache has since evolved to be netfslib-oriented, serving network
filesystem inodes via the netfs library, but EROFS never acts as a
network filesystem and we need to cache golden filesystem images rather
than individual EROFS inodes.
Since EROFS over fscache is now removed, clean up netfs/fscache/
cachefiles upstream too.

This patch adds a dynamic management feature to the existing device
aliasing functionality. It allows users to dynamically reserve or
release specific devices from the filesystem's free pool at runtime
through new ioctls.
To support this, three new ioctls are introduced:
- F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_DEV_ALIAS: This reclaims the space occupied by a
device aliasing file. It first performs a capacity check, resets GC
victim information for the target range, marks the segments as in-use
to prevent new allocations, and then triggers GC to migrate existing
valid data out of the range. Finally, it reserves these blocks in the
SIT to effectively exclude the device from the usable capacity.
- F2FS_IOC_RELEASE_DEV_ALIAS: This releases the reserved space of a
previously reserved device aliasing file. It truncates the blocks
associated with the file, which makes them available for general
filesystem allocation again.
- F2FS_IOC_GET_DEV_ALIAS_STATUS: This retrieves the current aliasing
status of a device aliasing file, returning whether the file is
released (inactive alias) or reserved (active alias, with blocks
fully allocated on the device).

Preparatory patch for userfaultfd read-write protection (RWP). RWP
extends userfaultfd protection from plain write-protection (WP) to full
read-write protection: accesses to an RWP-protected range -- reads as well
as writes -- trap through userfaultfd.
Reserve VM_UFFD_RWP, add the userfaultfd_rwp() and userfaultfd_protected()
helpers, and wire up the smaps "ur" entry and the trace-flag table the
rest of the series will use. The flag is gated on CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP,
which is introduced together with the UAPI in a later patch; until then
VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE and every downstream check folds to dead code.
Nothing sets or queries the flag yet.

The only time that 'false' is passed as the 'excl' arg to the ->create
inode_operation is in lookup_open() when ->atomic_open is not provided
by the parent directory.
*all* directory inode_operations which do not have ->atomic_open
completely ignore the 'excl' arg.
Therefore we don't need the 'excl' arg. Those few ->create operations
which pay attention to the arg are only ever called with a value of
'true'.
We remove that arg and change all ->create operations to behave as those
thhe arg were 'true'.

Fortunately, no one should be using this combination anyway. It doesn't
make sense because the entire point of IV_INO_LBLK_32 is to support
inline encryption hardware that is limited to 32-bit DUNs.
Thus, fully disallow IV_INO_LBLK_32 with s_blocksize != PAGE_SIZE.

EROFS over fscache was introduced to provide image lazy pulling
functionality. After the feature landed, the fscache subsystem made
netfs a new hard dependency, which is unexpected for a local filesystem
and has an kernel-defined caching hierarchy which could be inflexible
compared to the fanotify pre-content hooks. Therefore, this feature has
been deprecated for almost two years.
As EROFS file-backed mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks both upstream
for a while and already providing equivalent functionality (erofs-utils
has supported fanotify pre-content hooks), let's remove the fscache
backend now.
The main application of this feature is Nydus [1], and they plan to move
to use fanotify pre-content hooks in the near future too.
I hope this patch can be merged into Linux 7.2, which is also motivated
by newly found implementation issues [2][3] that are not worth
investigating given the deprecation and limited development resources.
The associated fscache/cachefiles cleanup patch will follow separately
through the vfs tree (netfs) later: it seems fine since the codebase is
isolated by CONFIG_CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND.

Introduce a new mount option, negtimeout, for v9fs that allows users
to specify how long negative dentries are retained in the cache. The
retention time can be set in milliseconds (e.g. negtimeout=10000 for
a 10secs retention time) or a negative value (e.g. negtimeout=-1) to
keep negative entries until the buffer cache management removes them.
For consistency reasons, this option should only be used in exclusive
or read-only mount scenarios, aligning with the cache=loose usage.

roots and entries, EA entries, mapping pairs, and $LogFile restart
areas. These changes fix several out-of-bounds access, integer
overflow, and inconsistent metadata handling issues.
- Prevent a writeback deadlock involving extent MFT records
- Fix resource leaks in fill_super() failure paths and the name cache
- Serialize volume label access and improving its error handling
- Fix mapping-pairs decoding bounds and LCN overflow checks
- Keep resident index root metadata consistent during resize
- Fix the reported size of symbolic links
- Avoid an unnecessary allocation for resident inline data
- Add support for following and creating Windows native symbolic links.
Relative links, absolute links, and junctions are handled, with new
mount options controlling native symlink creation and absolute target
translation. The existing WSL symlink behavior remains the default.
- The unsupported quota code is removed, along with several smaller
cleanups

Update the overview section to better reflect EROFS's design philosophy
as an immutable image filesystem, update the feature highlights with
recent capabilities, and remove outdated items.
The following detailed sections will be revised later since the overview
section is the most visible part of our documentation. Outdated or
ambiguous information could mislead new users and potential adopters.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Things have calmed down a bit on the docs front, with no earthshaking
changes this time around:
- Ongoing work on the Japanese and Portuguese translations

Pull x86 resource control updates from Borislav Petkov:
"Preparatory work for MPAM counter assignment:
- Simplify the error handling path when creating monitor group event
configuration directories
- Make the MBM event filter configurable only on architectures that
support it and expose this with the respective file modes in the
event config
- Disallow the MBA software controller on systems where MBM counters
are assignable, as it requires continuous bandwidth measurement
that assignable counters do not guarantee
- Replace a compile-time Kconfig option for fixed counter assignment
with a per-architecture runtime property, and expose whether the
counter assignment mode is changeable to userspace
- Continue counter allocation across all domains instead of aborting
at the first failure
- Document that automatic MBM counter assignment is best effort and
may not assign counters to all domains
- Document the behavior of task ID 0 and idle tasks in the resctrl
tasks file"
