git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull kthread vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This stops kernel threads from sharing filesystem state with userspace. This work is about 3 cycles old and has been in -next for about that time. When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from under the kernel. PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no longer affect userspace fs state without explicit opting in to that. Path lookup from a kthread now fails by default. It makes it deliberately hard to offload security sensitive operations into init's filesystem state from a kthread. Places that legitimately need to look something up there opt in through the new scoped_with_init_fs() which temporarily overrides the caller's fs_struct with init's. usermodehelpers remain the only kernel tasks that genuinely share init's filesystem state, since they execute random binaries in the root filesystem (excellent...). The visible result is that /proc/2/root is a nullfs with an empty mountinfo while /proc/1/root is the real root" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.kthread' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (26 commits) initramfs_test: use test init/exit hooks to override init fs fs: stop rewriting paths for PF_EXITING | PF_DUMPCORE fs: stop rewriting kthread fs structs fs: start all kthreads in nullfs nullfs: make nullfs multi-instance devtmpfs: create private mount namespace fs: add umh argument to struct kernel_clone_args fs: stop sharing fs_struct between init_task and pid 1 af_unix: use scoped_with_init_fs() for coredump socket lookup initramfs: use scoped_with_init_fs() for rootfs unpacking pnfs/blocklayout: use scoped_with_init_fs() for SCSI device lookup ksmbd: use scoped_with_init_fs() for VFS path operations ksmbd: use scoped_with_init_fs() for filesystem info path lookup ksmbd: use scoped_with_init_fs() for share path resolution fs: use scoped_with_init_fs() for kernel_read_file_from_path_initns() coredump: use scoped_with_init_fs() for coredump path resolution btrfs: use scoped_with_init_fs() for update_dev_time() scsi: target: use scoped_with_init_fs() for APTPL metadata scsi: target: use scoped_with_init_fs() for ALUA metadata crypto: ccp: use scoped_with_init_fs() for SEV file access ...

2026-08-17net: add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations for dev->prio_tc_mapEric Dumazet
Concurrent fast-path readers access dev->prio_tc_map (e.g. via skb_tx_hash(), netdev_get_prio_tc_map(), and qdiscs) while writers update entries in dev->prio_tc_map or reset/clear the map via netdev_reset_tc() and netdev_unbind_sb_channel(). Furthermore, memset() in netdev_reset_tc() and netdev_unbind_sb_channel() provides no guarantee of performing atomic word/byte stores. Add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations to netdev_get_prio_tc_map() and netdev_set_prio_tc_map(), replace memset() in dev.c with explicit WRITE_ONCE() loops, and update direct array accesses in qdiscs to use netdev_get_prio_tc_map().

2026-08-17net: prevent torn reads in netdev_tc_txqEric Dumazet
netdev_set_tc_queue() (and related helpers/drivers such as netdev_bind_sb_channel_queue(), netdev_reset_tc(), and netdev_unbind_sb_channel()) perform separate 16-bit writes to dev->tc_to_txq[tc].count and dev->tc_to_txq[tc].offset. Furthermore, memset() in netdev_reset_tc() and netdev_unbind_sb_channel() provides no guarantee of performing full 32-bit word stores. Concurrent lockless readers (e.g. skb_tx_hash(), netdev_txq_to_tc(), ixgbe_select_queue(), taprio, mqprio, FPE drivers) can observe torn values where offset and count belong to inconsistent configurations. Redefine struct netdev_tc_txq to embed count and offset inside a union with a u32 combined field, allowing atomic manipulation via READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). Update all lockless readers and writers across the kernel to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() on the combined field.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs 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" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (29 commits) iomap: iomap_bio_read_folio_range_sync is missing a call to bio_uninit iomap: don't free integrity payload that doesn't exist docs: fix grammatical error in iomap docs exfat: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() fuse: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() hpfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() gfs2: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() f2fs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() block: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ext2: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() zonefs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() erofs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ext4: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ntfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() ntfs3: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() btrfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() xfs: convert iomap ops to ->iomap_next() iomap: add ->iomap_next() iomap: use GFP_NOWAIT when application for iomap_dio_simple allocations iomap: decouple simple direct I/O reads from iomap_dio_rw ...

2026-08-17NFS/localio: issue IO inline when not in a memory-reclaim contextMike Snitzer
Every LOCALIO read and write is currently bounced through the dedicated !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nfslocaliod_workqueue. That bounce is only actually required when the submitting context is a memory-reclaim context: LOCALIO issues IO directly into a stacked local filesystem (e.g. XFS) which may in turn flush its own !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue. Doing that from a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker (most importantly writeback's wb_workfn on bdi_wq) or an explicit PF_MEMALLOC reclaim task trips check_flush_dependency() and risks a forward-progress deadlock, which is why commit b9f5dd57f4a5 ("nfs/localio: use dedicated workqueues for filesystem read and write") introduced the intermediate workqueue. Outside of reclaim context -- ordinary application/task submission such as O_DIRECT or fsync-driven writeback -- the workqueue hop buys nothing and merely adds a context switch and scheduling latency per IO while discarding the NFS client's inherent application-context parallelism. Add current_is_workqueue_mem_reclaim(), which reports whether %current is a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker using the same predicate check_flush_dependency() warns on. Use it, together with the PF_MEMALLOC check, in the new nfs_local_defer_io() helper to decide per-IO whether nfs_local_do_read() and nfs_local_do_write() must defer to nfslocaliod_workqueue or may issue the IO inline. Buffered writeback continues to bounce (wb_workfn is a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM worker); O_DIRECT and app-context submission now run inline. Running nfs_local_call_write() inline is safe: it already saves and restores current->flags around the PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE|PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO it sets and scopes the file opener's creds. The async O_DIRECT completion path is likewise unaffected: when the underlying filesystem returns -EIOCBQUEUED, the kiocb ki_complete callback (nfs_local_read_aio_complete / nfs_local_write_aio_complete) can run in bottom-half context and so must still defer the pgio completion (nfs_local_pgio_release -> rpc_call_done) to nfsiod_workqueue via nfs_local_pgio_aio_complete(). That completion hop is independent of how the IO was submitted, and this change leaves it as-is; only the submission side stops unconditionally hopping through nfslocaliod_workqueue.

2026-08-17nfs4.2: open UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA files with O_DIRECTMike Snitzer
Honor the per-file UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute by transparently opening such regular files with O_DIRECT, so reads and writes bypass the page cache as the attribute requires, without the application having to request O_DIRECT itself. This follows the model the specification describes: the attribute is "similar in intent to O_DIRECT" and clients "retain flexibility in how they satisfy the requirements" (draft-ietf-nfsv4-uncacheable-files Section 4.4, "Relationship to Direct I/O"), and its Implementation Status (Section 6) describes a prototype Linux client that "treats the attribute as an indication to use O_DIRECT-like behavior for file access". Introduce an NFS_CONTEXT_O_DIRECT open-context flag: nfs4_atomic_open() sets it when the resolved inode has uncacheable_file_data set (and the open is not O_APPEND), and the open paths nfs_atomic_open() and nfs4_file_open() apply O_DIRECT to the file when the flag is set. The I/O mode is thus selected at open time and is not changed for an already-open file: a later change to the attribute takes effect on the next open. The specification permits this -- a client that has already opened a file MAY continue with its existing caching behavior and apply the updated attribute to subsequent operations (Section 5). The delegation interaction in Section 4.3 was considered: it permits read caching to remain when another NFSv4.2 mechanism, such as a delegation, already ensures a consistent view of the file. That relaxation is optional ("may remain appropriate") and read-only -- it does not relax write-behind suppression (Section 4.1) or the WRITE durability invariant (Section 4.2). This implementation deliberately does not take it: an uncacheable file is opened O_DIRECT regardless of any delegation held, which is compliant (read caching is simply suppressed more aggressively than the Section 4.3 minimum) and avoids decoupling read vs write caching behind a single open flag. Relaxing reads under a delegation is left as a possible future optimization. Section 6 observes the benefit holds "for applications that issue well-formed I/O requests". That alignment caveat does not constrain the Linux NFS client's over-the-wire path: the client readily issues misaligned I/O using O_DIRECT over SunRPC to the remote NFS server. The only place a fallback from O_DIRECT to buffered I/O for misaligned I/O applies is NFS LOCALIO (fs/nfs/localio.c), which detects non-DIO-aligned I/O and falls back internally; that path is unaffected by this change.

2026-08-17nfs4.2: add UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute supportTom Haynes
Recognize the NFSv4.2 per-file UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute (attr 87, draft-ietf-nfsv4-uncacheable-files): decode it via GETATTR, track per- exported-filesystem support, and record on the inode whether a regular file's data must not be cached. Acting on the attribute (opening such files O_DIRECT) is done by a subsequent change. If the NFSv4 server reports a regular file's UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA as true, it indicates the file's data must not be cached; the client records this in NFS_I(inode)->uncacheable_file_data for use by the I/O paths. The UNCACHEABLE_FILE_DATA attribute applies only to regular files (NF4REG); per the draft a server MUST reject a query of it on any other object type with NFS4ERR_INVAL. A subsequent commit gates the client accordingly.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a bunch of work for binfmt_misc. It fixes a bunch of old bugs, reworks the locking, and then extends the format registry so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at registration time. This allows nixos and other to e.g., implement relocatable binaries meaning the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is flexible and can support other policies: - Handler lookup is now an rcu walk. An exec that matches no binfmt_misc entry should now never write to a shared cacheline - remove the VERBOSE_STATUS and USE_DEBUG compile time toggles - convert the entry file to a seq_file which simplifies things quite a bit and kills a lot of custom logic - make flags proper enums - rename struct Node to binfmt_misc_entry - allow entries to be removed with unlink(2) - Add the ability to attach bpf programs to binfmt_misc entries so it's possible to dynamically choose the execution environment such as the loader or interpreter on a per binary basis. A handler is an instance of a binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a ->match() and a ->load() program. match() decides from the entry lookup walk whether the handler applies under the same registration-order. It can read file content as needed not only the prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf. load() then selects the interpreter and stages it through the new bpf_binprm_set_interp(), bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg() and bpf_binprm_set_flags() kfuncs. Handlers are published in a registry keyed by the registering task's user namespace and activated through the existing text interface with a new 'B' type carrying the handler name: echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register The permission and namespacing model is unchanged. Activating a handler requires the same write access to an instance as any other registration. A container mounting its own instance escapes the host's entries exactly as before. The computed interpreter is opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes through full LSM vetting as the next binprm level. A program can only ever redirect the caller to something the caller could exec anyway. - Two dispatch modes are added. So far the chosen interpreter owns the whole process identity (argv[0], /proc/pid/cmdline, /proc/self/exe all name interpreter information). So relocatable find the dynamic linker instead. Also a binary passed to execveat() as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all and gdb trips because AT_ENTRY and AT_PHDR do not match the exe file. So PIE symbols are unrelocated. This adds transparent dispatch which allows the interpreter to load the binary through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly as the caller built it and labels mm->exe_file and comm with the binary. It also raises the AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector bit. The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary. The second mode is loader substitution.

2026-08-17landlock: Add create_ruleset and free_ruleset tracepointsMickaël Salaün
Add the first Landlock tracepoints, for ruleset lifecycle: landlock_create_ruleset fires from the landlock_create_ruleset() syscall handler, and landlock_free_ruleset fires in free_ruleset() before the ruleset is freed. These tracepoints, and the ones added by the following commits, share a common design. Rather than one polymorphic event distinguished by a status field (as audit uses a shared record type with a "status=" field), each lifecycle transition and denial type gets its own event with a type-safe TP_PROTO, giving precise ftrace filtering by event name and type-safe eBPF access. TP_PROTO passes the object pointer and the fields are read from it in TP_fast_assign, so an eBPF program reads the full object state (rules, access masks, hierarchy) via BTF from a single pointer rather than from the flattened TP_STRUCT__entry fields. The whole cost is paid only when a tracer is attached; the static branch is not taken otherwise. Trace fields carry the bare access-right and scope names (read_file), reusing the audit name tables; audit prepends the category (fs.read_file), which the trace event name already conveys. The trace header's DOC comment documents the consistency and locking guarantees these events share. create_ruleset needs no lock because the ruleset is not yet shared (its file descriptor is not yet installed). The deallocation events use the "free_" prefix, not "drop_", because they fire when the object is actually freed. Add trace.c, built for CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS, which defines CREATE_TRACE_POINTS, and extend CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK_LOG to also be selected by CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS so the common log framework is available to a tracepoints-only build. Add an id field to struct landlock_ruleset, gated on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS and assigned from landlock_get_id_range() at creation. Only the tracepoints consume it (audit identifies domains, not rulesets), so it does not exist in an audit-only build. The Landlock ID is a stable u64 that names the ruleset across the trace stream and uses the same scheme as audit, so a ruleset can be correlated between trace and audit records.

2026-08-17landlock: Consolidate access-right and scope names in a shared headerMickaël Salaün
Audit formats denial records with per-right name strings. A following commit adds trace events that print the same access and scope masks with __print_flags() and need the same names, but a trace event header cannot include Landlock-internal headers, so the names cannot be shared from the logging unit. Define the filesystem, network, and scope names once, as the _LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_NAMES, _LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_NAMES, and _LANDLOCK_SCOPE_NAMES lists in the public Landlock header. Each entry is a _LANDLOCK_NAME_ENTRY() the consumer expands: audit maps it to a "[bit] = name" array slot for an O(1) lookup, the trace events map it to a __print_flags() { mask, name } pair. The bit value comes only from the LANDLOCK_* UAPI constant each entry references, so every bit-to-name mapping has a single source and does not depend on entry order. The shared names are unprefixed; blocker_prefix() prepends the fs./net./scope. category for audit records, so the scope names move from inline literals to the shared table too. Audit records are unchanged. No functional change.

2026-08-17bpf: Rewrite any fault prone load out of a mem or btf_id pointerDaniel Borkmann
bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() turns a BPF_LDX into a BPF_PROBE_MEM one by matching the type recorded for the insn against a list of exact pointer types. The list cannot keep up with the flag combinations the verifier produces, and a type which is missing from it ends up as a plain load without an exception table entry, so a bad address panics the kernel instead of being handled. Two such types exist today and are reachable: - PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_ALLOC | NON_OWN_REF - PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED | MEM_RCU Rather than adding the two, just drop the list and state the property itself in the default case of the switch. This is a superset of what the list matched, the untrusted PTR_TO_MEM does not have to carry MEM_RDONLY for it anymore, and it stays in sync with the verifier side which uses the same match in save_aux_ptr_type() and reg_type_mismatch_ok(). Assert that a fault prone type which does not get the rewrite for whatever reason is rejected at load time rather than left to fault at runtime to catch any future cases. Fixes: 1b12171533a9 ("bpf: Mark direct ld of stashed bpf_{rb,list}_node as non-owning ref") Fixes: 6fcd486b3a0a ("bpf: Refactor RCU enforcement in the verifier.")

2026-08-17bpf: Keep fault protection when merging pointer typesDaniel Borkmann
When the same BPF_LDX instruction is reached through paths that yield different pointer types, save_aux_ptr_type() merges them into a single type which is later used by bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() to decide whether the load has to be rewritten into a BPF_PROBE_MEM one. Before f2362a57aeff ("bpf: allow void* cast using bpf_rdonly_cast()") the merge only accepted two PTR_TO_BTF_ID pointers and unconditionally fell back to PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED, so the merged type was always one that gets the BPF_PROBE_MEM rewrite. However, the mentioned commit widened the merge to also cover a PTR_TO_MEM base and replaced the fallback by a union of the PTR_UNTRUSTED and MEM_RDONLY flags. A union of flags though cannot express the property the later rewrite is built upon, some examples: - PTR_TO_MEM merged with PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_UNTRUSTED gets PTR_TO_MEM | PTR_UNTRUSTED but only the MEM_RDONLY variant is valid - PTR_TO_MEM merged with a plain PTR_TO_BTF_ID gets PTR_TO_MEM dropping the rewrite the latter type would have gotten - PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY merged with a plain PTR_TO_BTF_ID gets PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY which is not rewritten either since only its PTR_UNTRUSTED variant is In all three cases a program can take the unsafe path at runtime with a NULL or otherwise bad pointer and panic the kernel on the faulting load: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000038 RIP: 0010:bpf_prog_77531a87032eeaf1_mixed_mem_btf_id_type+0x4b/0x65 Call Trace: <TASK> bpf_test_run+0x20b/0x460 bpf_prog_test_run_skb+0x650/0xbe0 __sys_bpf+0xb96/0x3140 __x64_sys_bpf+0x2c/0x40 do_syscall_64+0xba/0x590 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Note that the last two shapes have to be fixed right here, otherwise the merged type retains nothing which marks the load as fault prone, thus no rule in bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() can recover it. Fix it by normalizing the merged type instead. Reuse it in is_load_acq_unsafe() to avoid open coding, and trim the overly verbose comment which is more of an implementation detail of bpf_convert_ctx_accesses() anyway.

2026-08-15sched_ext: Use runnable_at for the default core-sched task orderingTejun Heo
The default core-sched ordering runs the longest waiting task first by comparing p->scx.core_sched_at stamps. The stamp is maintained under two rules. touch_core_sched() stamps when a task starts waiting for a CPU and when its slice runs out. If the scheduler implements ops.core_sched_before(), touch_core_sched_dispatch() re-stamps on every dispatch. A comparison can see one stamp taken under each rule, which isn't a meaningful ordering. The dispatch rule also buys little - it only aligns bypass-mode comparisons with the local DSQ order. Multiple schedulers make the mixed comparisons more common. Wait time is what p->scx.runnable_at already tracks for the stall watchdog. Delete core_sched_at with both touch functions and compare runnable_at in the scx_prio_less() fallback. runnable_at is refreshed only on enqueue and goes stale while a task keeps occupying its CPU. Instead of re-stamping, order a running task after every waiting task as it is the most recently serviced. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2026-08-15block: skip blkcg walk in blk_cgroup_congested() when nothing throttledUsama Arif
blk_cgroup_congested() walks the current task's blkcg ancestor chain on every readahead decision and, once swap is in use, on every anonymous and shmem folio allocation. The answer is almost always "no", but finding that out costs two loads per level on two cold cache lines, plus an out-of-line kthread_blkcg() and an RCU read-side pair. On a fleet profile of hosts running containers with 5-10 level hierarchies it costs about as much as all of mutex_lock(), 99.4% of it under __folio_throttle_swaprate(). Gate the walk on a global count of blkcgs with a non-zero congestion_count. The counter only moves on the 0 <-> 1 transitions of each blkcg's congestion_count, so the extra atomic stays in the throttle arm/disarm paths and never appears in steady state. When something is throttled the counter is non-zero and the walk runs as before.

2026-08-15io_uring: defer eventfd signaling when queued from a wakeup handlerJens Axboe
io_req_local_work_add() signals the CQ ring eventfd inline when it is the one to push the first entry onto ->work_list. For DEFER_TASKRUN rings that add is frequently done from a waitqueue wakeup handler, where an arbitrary waitqueue lock is held. eventfd_signal_mask() only refuses to recurse when current->in_eventfd is set, but that bit is set by eventfd_signal_mask() itself. If the wake chain starts somewhere else, signal goes out inline and can feed back into epoll. Add IOU_F_TWQ_IN_WAKE, set it on the task_work add done from the three waitqueue callbacks, and use it to force io_eventfd_signal() down the existing call_rcu_hurry() deferral instead of signaling inline.

2026-08-15bpf: Add ksock kfuncsMahe Tardy
Add BPF kfuncs that allow BPF LSM programs to create and use sockets for sending data. This provides a mechanism for BPF programs to emit telemetry. For this first patch set, it's restricted to SOCK_DGRAM socket types with IPPROTO_UDP protocol but could be easily extended to SOCK_STREAM and IPPROTO_TCP in the future. The API consists of five kfuncs: bpf_ksock_create() - Create a socket (sleepable) bpf_ksock_connect() - Connect socket to remote address (sleepable) bpf_ksock_send() - Send data through the socket (sleepable) bpf_ksock_acquire() - Acquire a reference to a socket context bpf_ksock_release() - Release a reference (cleanup via queue_rcu_work since sock_release sleeps) The setup kfuncs bpf_ksock_create, bpf_ksock_connect, can be called from SYSCALL programs only. While bpf_ksock_acquire, bpf_ksock_release and bpf_ksock_send can be called from SYSCALL and LSM programs. The implementation follows the established kfunc lifecycle pattern (create/acquire/release with refcounting, kptr map storage, dtor registration). The kernel socket is wrapped in a refcounted bpf_ksock struct. Cleanup is deferred via queue_rcu_work() because sock_release() may sleep. The kfuncs are only compiled when CONFIG_INET is enabled, as they specifically support AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets. The socket operations go through the expected LSM hooks instead of by-passing them like many kernel sockets since those are created by BPF programs and thus system users. Thus, the bpf_ksock_send() kfunc, which is exposed to LSM progs has a verifier filter protection to avoid recursion so that the whole bpf_kfunc_set kfunc set cannot be called in a program attached to security_socket_sendmsg(). Also, because of the LSM checks, we prevent the use of the kfuncs from asynchronous workqueue as the current value would then be invalid. In bpf_ksock_create(), we copy the arg values to avoid TOCTOU races since the kfunc can sleep and the arg values could be stored in a map that could be re-written by BPF progs or even userspace programs if the map is mmaped.

2026-08-14bpf: Populate mmap-able array map memory lazilySong Liu
An mmap-able BPF array map (BPF_F_MMAPABLE) has its backing memory vmalloc'ed up front at map creation time. array_map_mmap() then wired up the whole mapping eagerly via remap_vmalloc_range(), which calls vm_insert_page() for every page of the map. For large maps this makes every mmap() O(number of pages): an 8MiB map inserts 2048 PTEs per mmap() and tears them all down again on munmap(), even when user space only touches a few pages (or none at all). Populate the mapping lazily instead, the same way the arena map already does. array_map_mmap() now only performs the bounds check and returns, leaving the PTEs unpopulated; pages are inserted on demand by a new array_map_mmap_fault() handler. Because the memory is already resident, the fault handler simply resolves the vmalloc page and hands it to the fault path. This makes mmap() O(1), and munmap() proportional to the number of pages that were actually faulted in rather than to the size of the map. The handler is reached through a new optional ->map_mmap_fault callback. Maps that provide it get a vm_operations_struct with a .fault handler; maps that populate their mapping eagerly keep the one they had. Both share the same open/close callbacks, so the existing VMA accounting (VM_MAYWRITE write-active tracking, freeze handling) stays centralized rather than each map installing its own vm_operations_struct. Callers that want the pages populated up front can still request that explicitly with MAP_POPULATE. Kernel-side access to the map (via the vmalloc address) is unaffected. Time for one mmap()+munmap() of an 8MiB mmap-able array map: before after no MAP_POPULATE, no access 226us 1.1us no MAP_POPULATE, access all pages 236us 1341us MAP_POPULATE, no access 312us 493us MAP_POPULATE, access all pages 318us 519us Mapping without touching the data, which is what this change targets, gets ~160x cheaper. Faulting in the whole mapping one page at a time is more expensive than the eager remap_vmalloc_range() loop, so users that do touch every page should ask for MAP_POPULATE. Note that MAP_POPULATE is not free before this change either: it adds ~85us (226us => 312us) for no benefit, as the mapping is already fully populated.

2026-08-14net/mlx5: SD, prefer sd_group_size from vport contextShay Drory
Newer FW reports the SD group size directly in the NIC vport context via the sd_group_size field, gated by the sd_group_size capability. Switch sd_init() to source the group size from there and fall back to the MPIR-based host_buses query only when the cap is absent. sd_group_size might return 1 in some FW configuration. Add explicit check to disable SD creation in this case. While here, rename host_buses to group_size throughout sd.c to follow the new name on capable FW.

2026-08-14HID: move generic FF initialization into hidinput_connect()Dmitry Torokhov
Generic force-feedback initialization (pidff) currently happens in hid_connect() after hidinput_connect() has already registered the input devices. This is racy as the device is live and visible to userspace before FF support is fully set up. Move the call to hdev->ff_init() into hidinput_connect(), ensuring it runs before input_register_device() is called. This closes the race window for standard PID-capable devices. The initialization now also checks (connect_mask & HID_CONNECT_FF) and !hid_has_ff_input() to avoid conflicts with custom FF implementations and respect driver opt-outs.

Previously, tcpci_irq() always passed TCPC_TX_SOP as the receive type to tcpm_pd_receive(), ignoring the actual frame type reported by the TCPC_RX_BUF_FRAME_TYPE register. Cache the TCPC_RX_DETECT register value in rx_type_mask variable. When a PD messageis received, read TCPC_RX_BUF_FRAME_TYPE register and handle the message only if its frame type is enabled in mask. The TCPC_RX_BUF_FRAME_TYPE register records the received message type, which has a 1:1 mapping to enum tcpm_transmit_type.

2026-08-13net: phylink: treat PSGMII as an inband capable interfaceSandeep Sondagar
PSGMII (the Qualcomm 5-port SGMII) conveys the link negotiation result from the PHY back to the MAC through per-channel in-band SGMII words, exactly like SGMII and QSGMII. However, PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_PSGMII is missing from phylink_get_inband_type(), so phylink reports INBAND_NONE for it and phylink_pcs_neg_mode() falls back to PHYLINK_PCS_NEG_NONE. The PCS is then programmed in force mode and its control-register speed bits (which default to 1000base) are used, so a slower copper link - e.g. 100base-T - is reported as 1Gbps and cannot pass traffic. Classify PSGMII alongside SGMII and QSGMII as INBAND_CISCO_SGMII so the PCS negotiates in-band and the resolved link speed comes from the PHY in-band word. Also add PSGMII to the generic clause 22 PCS helper functions which handle the SGMII in-band word. Without this, a PCS using these helpers would still fall through to the default handling and force the link state to false in phylink_mii_c22_pcs_decode_state(), fail to encode the SGMII advertisement, and get rejected by phylink_get_link_timer_ns().

2026-08-13include/linux/list.h: mark list_add and __list_add as __always_inlineJordan R Abrahams-Whitehead
This commit resolves an issue where modpost section verification fails due to section mismatches between list_add and its callers. At present, list_add (and its internal __list_add) are called from both .text and .init code sections. Since inlining can vary per call site, list_add can be 4 different states: list_add in text with arguments to non-.init.data values list_add in init with arguments to static .init.data values list_add in init with arguments to non-.init.data values list_add in text with arguments to static .init.data values It is last instance that ends up causing the section mismatch caused by constant propagation of the address of static libs inside the `dir_add` as seen below (with the dir_list being defined statically in initramfs.c, resting in .init.data). WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: __list_add (section: .text.unlikely.) -> dir_list (section: .init.data) Because of these section matching requirements, semantically, __list_add and list_add MUST be inlined. This will then ensure callers inside .init will receive a list_add that exists and refers to only .init data, and list_add code in .text sections will only refer to non-init data. This issue manifests predominently in AutoFDO with clang, which is very hesitant to inline cold functions such as list_add even when marked `inline`. Marking them as `__always_inline` therefore matches the existing semantic constraints imposed by modpost's section mismatch checks.
