2026-05-11net: mention the convention for .ndo_setup_tc()David Yang
qdisc_offload_dump_helper(), originated from commit 602f3baf2218 ("net_sch: red: Add offload ability to RED qdisc"), is designed to that Whether RED is being offloaded is being determined every time dump action is being called because parent change of this qdisc could change its offload state but doesn't require any RED function to be called. and returning -EOPNOTSUPP (for dump queries) does not mean "I don't have any statistics", but "I don't offload this qdisc anymore". At least two existing drivers did it wrong, so it is worth mentioning.

2026-05-11proc: handle subset=pid separately in userns visibility checksAlexey Gladkov
When procfs is mounted with subset=pid, only the dynamic process-related part of the filesystem remains visible. That part cannot be hidden by overmounts, so checking whether an existing procfs mount is fully visible does not make sense for this mode. At the same time, a subset=pid procfs mount must not be used as evidence that a later procfs mount would not reveal additional information. It provides a restricted view of procfs, not the full filesystem view. Mark subset=pid procfs instances as restricted variants. Ignore restricted variants when looking for an already-visible mount, and allow new restricted variants without consulting mnt_already_visible().

2026-05-11fs: move SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE to FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTEDChristian Brauner
Whether a filesystem's mounts need to undergo a visibility check in user namespaces is a static property of the filesystem type, not a runtime property of each superblock instance. Both proc and sysfs always set SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE on their superblocks unconditionally (sysfs does so on first creation, and subsequent mounts reuse the same superblock). Move this flag from sb->s_iflags (SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE) to file_system_type->fs_flags (FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED) so the intent is expressed at the filesystem type level where it belongs. All check sites are updated to test sb->s_type->fs_flags instead of sb->s_iflags. The SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV flags remain on the superblock as they are runtime properties set during fill_super.

2026-05-11fs: RCU-ify filesystems listChristian Brauner
The drivers list was protected by an rwlock; every mount, every open of /proc/filesystems and the legacy sysfs(2) syscall walked a hand-rolled singly-linked list under it. /proc/filesystems is especially hot because libselinux causes programs as mundane as mkdir, ls and sed to open and read it on every invocation. Convert the list to an RCU-protected hlist and switch the writer side to a plain spinlock. Writers keep their existing non-sleeping section while readers walk under rcu_read_lock() with no lock traffic: - register_filesystem()/unregister_filesystem() take file_systems_lock, publish via hlist_{add_tail,del_init}_rcu() and invalidate the cached /proc/filesystems string. unregister_filesystem() keeps its synchronize_rcu() after dropping the lock so in-flight readers are drained before the module (and its embedded file_system_type) can go away. - __get_fs_type(), list_bdev_fs_names() and the fs_index()/fs_name()/fs_maxindex() helpers walk the list under rcu_read_lock(). fs_name() continues to drop the read-side lock after try_module_get() and accesses ->name outside the RCU section; the module reference pins the embedded file_system_type across the boundary. struct file_system_type::next becomes struct hlist_node list; no in-tree caller references the old ->next field outside fs/filesystems.c.

2026-05-11proc: allow to mark /proc files permanent outside of fs/proc/Alexey Dobriyan
Add proc_make_permanent() function to mark PDE as permanent to speed up open/read/close (one alloc/free and lock/unlock less). Enable it for built-in code and for compiled-in modules. This function becomes nop magically in modular code. Note, note, note! If built-in code creates and deletes PDEs dynamically (not in init hook), then proc_make_permanent() must not be used. It is intended for simple code: static int __init xxx_module_init(void) { g_pde = proc_create_single(); proc_make_permanent(g_pde); return 0; } static void __exit xxx_module_exit(void) { remove_proc_entry(g_pde); } If module is built-in then exit hook never executed and PDE is permanent so it is OK to mark it as such. If module is module then rmmod will yank PDE, but proc_make_permanent() is nop and core /proc code will do everything right.

2026-05-11cgroup/cpuset: Reserve DL bandwidth only for root-domain movesGuopeng Zhang
cpuset_can_attach() currently adds the bandwidth of all migrating SCHED_DEADLINE tasks to sum_migrate_dl_bw. If the source and destination cpuset effective CPU masks do not overlap, the whole sum is then reserved in the destination root domain. set_cpus_allowed_dl(), however, subtracts bandwidth from the source root domain only when the affinity change really moves the task between root domains. A DL task can move between cpusets that are still in the same root domain, so including that task in sum_migrate_dl_bw can reserve destination bandwidth without a matching source-side subtraction. Share the root-domain move test with set_cpus_allowed_dl(). Keep nr_migrate_dl_tasks counting all migrating deadline tasks for cpuset DL task accounting, but add to sum_migrate_dl_bw only for tasks that need a root-domain bandwidth move. Keep using the destination cpuset effective CPU mask and leave the broader can_attach()/attach() transaction model unchanged.

2026-05-11bpf: Fix s16 truncation for large bpf-to-bpf call offsetsYazhou Tang
Currently, the BPF instruction set allows bpf-to-bpf calls (or internal calls, pseudo calls) to use a 32-bit imm field to represent the relative jump offset. However, when JIT is disabled or falls back to the interpreter, the verifier invokes bpf_patch_call_args() to rewrite the call instruction. In this function, the 32-bit imm is downcast to s16 and stored in the off field. void bpf_patch_call_args(struct bpf_insn *insn, u32 stack_depth) { stack_depth = max_t(u32, stack_depth, 1); insn->off = (s16) insn->imm; insn->imm = interpreters_args[(round_up(stack_depth, 32) / 32) - 1] - __bpf_call_base_args; insn->code = BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL_ARGS; } If the original imm exceeds the s16 range (i.e., a jump offset greater than 32767 instructions), this downcast silently truncates the offset, resulting in an incorrect call target. Fix this by: 1. In bpf_patch_call_args(), keeping the imm field unchanged and using the off field to store the index of the interpreter function. 2. In ___bpf_prog_run() for the JMP_CALL_ARGS case, retrieving the interpreter function pointer from the interpreters_args array using the off field as the index, and passing the original imm to calculate the last argument of the interpreter function. After these changes, the truncation issue is resolved, and __bpf_call_base_args is also no longer needed and can be removed, which makes the code cleaner. Performance: In ___bpf_prog_run() for the JMP_CALL_ARGS case, changing the retrieval of the interpreter function pointer from pointer addition to direct array indexing improves performance. The possible reason is that the latter has better instruction-level parallelism. See the v5 discussion [1] for more details. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/f120c3c4-6999-414a-b514-518bb64b4758@zju.edu.cn/ To avoid requiring bpftool changes, keep the new imm/off encoding internal and restore the legacy xlated dump layout in bpf_insn_prepare_dump(). For bpf-to-bpf call offsets that do not fit in s16, export off as 0 instead of a truncated and misleading value.

2026-05-11bpf: Fix out-of-bounds read in bpf_patch_call_args()Yazhou Tang
The interpreters_args array only accommodates stack depths up to MAX_BPF_STACK (512 bytes). However, do_misc_fixups() may allow a larger stack depth if JIT is requested. If JIT compilation later fails and falls back to the interpreter, the verifier invokes bpf_patch_call_args() with this oversized stack depth. This causes a load-time out-of-bounds (OOB) read when calculating the interpreter function pointer index. Fix this by changing bpf_patch_call_args() to return an int and explicitly rejecting the JIT fallback (returning -EINVAL) if the stack depth exceeds MAX_BPF_STACK.

2026-05-11serial: core: Add dedicated uart_port field for console flowJohn Ogness
Currently the UPF_CONS_FLOW bit in the uart_port.flags field is used by serial console drivers to identify if a user has configured flow control on the console. Usually this policy is setup during early boot, but can be changed at runtime. The bits in uart_port.flags are either hardware and driver properties that are initialized before usage or are properties that can be changed via the tty layer. The UPF_CONS_FLOW bit is an exception because it is a console-only policy that can change at runtime and its setting and usage have nothing to do with the tty layer. This actually causes a problem for its usage because uart_port.flags is synchronized by a related tty_port.mutex, but a console has no relation to a tty (other than sharing the port). This is probably why console flow control is not properly available for most serial drivers. And it is hindering being able to provide a proper implementation. Commit d01f4d181c92 ("serial: core: Privatize tty->hw_stopped") addressed a similar issue to deal with software assisted CTS flow state tracking. Add a new uart_port boolean field "cons_flow" to store the user configuration for console flow control. Add getter/setter wrappers to allow for adding more policies later and/or locking constraint validation. Mark UPF_CONS_FLOW as deprecated.

2026-05-11iomap: remove over-strict inline data boundary checkNamjae Jeon
The current iomap_inline_data_valid() check ensures that inline data does not cross a PAGE_SIZE boundary. However, this is an unnecessarily strict constraint. If a filesystem provides a valid iomap::inline_data pointer and iomap::length, we should trust that the caller has mapped sufficient memory for the range, even if it spans across page boundaries. Removing this check allows filesystems to point directly to their internal data structures without forced page-alignment or additional redundant allocations. This remove iomap_inline_data_valid() and its callers in buffered and direct I/O paths.

2026-05-11nfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivityChuck Lever
An NFS server re-exporting an NFS mount point needs to report the case sensitivity behavior of the underlying filesystem to its clients. NFSD's attribute encoder obtains that information by calling vfs_fileattr_get() on the lower filesystem, so the NFS client must implement fileattr_get to surface what it learned from its own server. The NFS client already retrieves case sensitivity information from servers during mount via PATHCONF (NFSv3) or the FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE/FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING attributes (NFSv4). Expose this information through fileattr_get by reporting the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. NFSv2 lacks PATHCONF support, so mounts using that protocol version default to standard POSIX behavior: case-sensitive and case-preserving. PATHCONF is now invoked unconditionally for NFSv2 and NFSv3 mounts so the case-sensitivity capabilities are established even when the user pins server->namelen with the namlen= mount option. That option is orthogonal to case handling, and skipping PATHCONF because namelen was already known would leave the caps unset. The two capability bits carry opposite polarity because their POSIX defaults differ. Most servers are case-sensitive and case- preserving, matching "neither xflag set." NFS_CAP_CASE_INSENSITIVE is set only when the server affirms case insensitivity, so "server said no" and "server did not answer" both collapse to the case- sensitive default. NFS_CAP_CASE_NONPRESERVING follows the same pattern in the opposite direction: set only when the server affirms that it does not preserve case, so that silence or a missing attribute lands on the case-preserving default. The NFSv4 probe checks res.attr_bitmask[0] to distinguish "server said false" from "server omitted the attribute" before setting the bit. Both capability bits are cleared before each probe so a remount, an NFSv4 transparent state migration to a server with different case semantics, or a probe whose reply does not arrive does not retain stale capabilities from the prior probe.

2026-05-11fs: Add case sensitivity flags to file_kattrChuck Lever
Enable upper layers such as NFSD to retrieve case sensitivity information from file systems by adding FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. Filesystems report case-insensitive or case-nonpreserving behavior by setting these flags directly in fa->fsx_xflags. The default (flags unset) indicates POSIX semantics: case-sensitive and case-preserving. Both flags are added to FS_XFLAG_RDONLY_MASK so FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR silently strips them, keeping the new xflags strictly a reporting interface. Callers that want to toggle casefolding continue to use FS_IOC_SETFLAGS with FS_CASEFOLD_FL, the established UAPI on filesystems that support the operation (ext4 and f2fs on empty directories). Case sensitivity information is exported to userspace via the fa_xflags field in the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl and file_getattr() system call. Reviewed-by: "Darrick J.

Add a registration_data pointer to struct auxiliary_device, allowing the registering (parent) driver to attach private data to the device at registration time and retrieve it later when called back by the auxiliary (child) driver. By tying the data to the device's registration, Rust drivers can bind the lifetime of device resources to it, since the auxiliary bus guarantees that the parent driver remains bound while the auxiliary device is bound. On the Rust side, Registration<T> takes ownership of the data via ForeignOwnable. A TypeId is stored alongside the data for runtime type checking, making Device::registration_data<T>() a safe method.

2026-05-11irqchip/gic-v5: Move LPI allocation into the LPI domainSascha Bischoff
The IPI and ITS MSI domains currently allocate and release LPIs directly, then pass the selected LPI ID to the parent LPI domain. This leaks the LPI domain's allocation policy into its child domains and forces each child to duplicate part of the parent domain's teardown. Make the LPI domain allocate LPIs in its .alloc() callback and release them in a matching .free() callback. Child domains can then request a parent interrupt without passing an implementation-specific LPI ID, and the LPI lifetime is tied to the domain that owns the LPI namespace. Remove the gicv5_alloc_lpi() and gicv5_free_lpi() wrappers now that no external caller needs to manage LPIs directly. This is a preparatory change for an actual leakage problem in the allocation code and therefore tagged with the same Fixes tag.

The direction of a single-ended (open-drain or open-source) GPIO line cannot always be reliably determined by reading hardware registers. In true open-drain implementations, the "high" state is achieved by entering a high-impedance mode, which many hardware controllers report as "input" even if the software intends to use it as an output. This creates issues for consumer drivers (like I2C) that rely on gpiod_get_direction() to decide if a line can be driven. Introduce gpiod_is_single_ended() to allow consumers to check the software configuration (GPIO_FLAG_OPEN_DRAIN/GPIO_FLAG_OPEN_SOURCE) of a descriptor. This provides a robust way to identify lines that are capable of being driven, regardless of their instantaneous hardware state.

Add fwnode_gpiod_get() as a convenience wrapper around fwnode_gpiod_get_index() for the common case where only the first GPIO is required.

2026-05-11pmdomain: core: add support for power-domains-child-idsKevin Hilman (TI)
Currently, PM domains can only support hierarchy for simple providers (e.g. ones with #power-domain-cells = 0). Add support for oncell providers as well by adding a new property `power-domains-child-ids` to describe the parent/child relationship. For example, an SCMI PM domain provider has multiple domains, each of which might be a child of diffeent parent domains. In this example, the parent domains are MAIN_PD and WKUP_PD: scmi_pds: protocol@11 { reg = <0x11>; #power-domain-cells = <1>; power-domains = <&MAIN_PD>, <&WKUP_PD>; power-domains-child-ids = <15>, <19>; }; With this example using the new property, SCMI PM domain 15 becomes a child domain of MAIN_PD, and SCMI domain 19 becomes a child domain of WKUP_PD. To support this feature, add two new core functions - of_genpd_add_child_ids() - of_genpd_remove_child_ids() which can be called by pmdomain providers to add/remove child domains if they support the new property power-domains-child-ids. The add function is "all or nothing". If it cannot add all of the child domains in the list, it will unwind any additions already made and report a failure.

2026-05-11firewire: Simplify storing pointers in device id structUwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)
Technically it is fine (on all current Linux architectures) to store a pointer in an unsigned long variable. However this needs explicit casting which is an easy source for type mismatches. By replacing the plain unsigned long .driver_data in struct ieee1394_device_id by an anonymous union, most of the casting can be dropped. There is still some implicit casting involved (between a void * and a driver specific pointer type), but that's better than the approach to store a pointer in an unsigned long variable as this doesn't lose the information that the data being pointed to is const. All users of struct ieee1394_device_id are initialized in a way that is compatible with the new definition, so no adaptions are needed there. (The comments addressing to CHERI extension are dropped by the maintainer.)

2026-05-11fprobe: Fix unregister_fprobe() to wait for RCU grace periodMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Commit 4346ba1604093 ("fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer") changed fprobe to register struct fprobe to an rcu-hlist, but it forgot to wait for RCU GP. Thus there can be use-after-free if the fprobe is released right after unregistering. This can be happened on fprobe event and sample module code. To fix this issue, add synchronize_rcu() in unregister_fprobe(). Note that BPF is OK because fprobe is used as a part of bpf_kprobe_multi_link. This unregisters its fprobe in bpf_kprobe_multi_link_release() and it is deallocated via bpf_kprobe_multi_link_dealloc(), which is invoked from bpf_link_defer_dealloc_rcu_gp() RCU callback. For BPF, this also introduced unregister_fprobe_async() which does NOT wait for RCU grace priod.

2026-05-11platform/chrome: Resolve kb_wake_angle visibility raceTzung-Bi Shih
A race condition exists between the probe of cros-ec-sysfs and cros-ec-sensorhub. The `kb_wake_angle` attribute should only be visible if the sensor hub detects two or more accelerometers. If cros_ec_sysfs_probe() runs before cros_ec_sensorhub_register() completes sensor enumeration, the sysfs attributes are created while `has_kb_wake_angle` is still false, hiding `kb_wake_angle` incorrectly. Store the created attribute group pointer in `ec_dev->group`. When the sensor hub completes sensor enumeration, it checks for this group and calls sysfs_update_group() to notify the sysfs core to re-evaluate attribute visibility. This ensures the `kb_wake_angle` attribute visibility is correctly updated regardless of the driver probe order.

2026-05-11ASoC: Move system_long_wq to system_dfl_long_wqMark Brown
Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> says: Currently the code uses the per-cpu workqueue system_long_wq to schedule long running works. Unbound works could benefit from scheduler task placement, to optimize performance and power consumption. Another good reason to have this unbound, is the "queue_delayed_work()" function, used to enqueue the work item. More details on this will follow in the next section. Recently, a new unbound workqueue specific for long running work has been added: c116737e972e ("workqueue: Add system_dfl_long_wq for long unbound works") ~~~ Details about queue_delayed_work ~~~ system_long_wq is a per-cpu workqueue and it is used as a parameter of queue_delayed_work(). This function schedule an item that it will later be enqueued (once the timer will fire). __queue_delayed_work() does the job receiving as "cpu" WORK_CPU_UNBOUND: if (housekeeping_enabled(HK_TYPE_TIMER)) { // [....] } else { if (likely(cpu == WORK_CPU_UNBOUND)) add_timer_global(timer); else add_timer_on(timer, cpu); } The timer is global, so can fire everywhere, and the work item will be enqueued where the timer fired. Since the workqueue work doesn't rely on per-cpu variables, there is no obvious reason that justify the use of a per-cpu workqueue. So change the workqueue with the new system_dfl_long_wq, so that the used workqueue is now unbound and can benefit from scheduler task placement.

2026-05-10sched_ext: Close root-enable vs sched_ext_dead() race with SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGINTejun Heo
scx_root_enable_workfn() drops the iter rq lock for ops.init_task() and a TASK_DEAD @p can fall through sched_ext_dead() in that window. The race hits when sched_ext_dead() observes SCX_TASK_INIT (the intermediate state before @p->scx.sched is published) and dereferences NULL via SCX_HAS_OP(NULL, exit_task), or observes SCX_TASK_NONE during the unlocked init window and skips cleanup so exit_task() never runs. Add SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN. The enable path writes NONE -> INIT_BEGIN under the iter rq lock, then takes the rq lock again after init to walk INIT_BEGIN -> INIT -> READY. sched_ext_dead() that wins the rq-lock race observes INIT_BEGIN and sets DEAD without calling into ops; the post-init recheck unwinds via scx_sub_init_cancel_task(). scx_fork() runs single-threaded against sched_ext_dead() (the task is not on scx_tasks until scx_post_fork() adds it) so its INIT_BEGIN -> INIT walk needs no rq-lock pairing; it rolls back to NONE on ops.init_task() failure. The validation matrix grows the INIT_BEGIN row and the INIT_BEGIN -> DEAD edge; INIT now requires INIT_BEGIN as the predecessor. scx_sub_disable()'s migration writes INIT_BEGIN as a synthetic predecessor to satisfy the tightened verification. The sub-sched paths still race with sched_ext_dead() during the unlocked init window. This will be fixed by the next patch.

SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS marked tasks already through sched_ext_dead() so cgroup task iteration would skip them. This can be expressed better with a task state. Replace the flag with SCX_TASK_DEAD. scx_disable_and_exit_task() resets state to NONE on its way out, so sched_ext_dead() now sets DEAD after the wrapper returns. The validation matrix grows NONE -> DEAD, warns on DEAD -> NONE, and tightens READY's predecessor to INIT or ENABLED so the new DEAD value cannot silently transition to READY. Prepares for the following enable vs dead race fix. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>
