2026-04-13Merge tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.xattr' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs xattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This reworks the simple_xattr infrastructure and adds support for user.* extended attributes on sockets. The simple_xattr subsystem currently uses an rbtree protected by a reader-writer spinlock. This series replaces the rbtree with an rhashtable giving O(1) average-case lookup with RCU-based lockless reads. This sped up concurrent access patterns on tmpfs quite a bit and it's an overall easy enough conversion to do and gets rid or rwlock_t. The conversion is done incrementally: a new rhashtable path is added alongside the existing rbtree, consumers are migrated one at a time (shmem, kernfs, pidfs), and then the rbtree code is removed. All three consumers switch from embedded structs to pointer-based lazy allocation so the rhashtable overhead is only paid for inodes that actually use xattrs. With this infrastructure in place the series adds support for user.* xattrs on sockets. Path-based AF_UNIX sockets inherit xattr support from the underlying filesystem (e.g. tmpfs) but sockets in sockfs - that is everything created via socket() including abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets - had no xattr support at all. The xattr_permission() checks are reworked to allow user.* xattrs on S_IFSOCK inodes. Sockfs sockets get per-inode limits of 128 xattrs and 128KB total value size matching the limits already in use for kernfs. The practical motivation comes from several directions. systemd and GNOME are expanding their use of Varlink as an IPC mechanism. For D-Bus there are tools like dbus-monitor that can observe IPC traffic across the system but this only works because D-Bus has a central broker. For Varlink there is no broker and there is currently no way to identify which sockets speak Varlink. With user.* xattrs on sockets a service can label its socket with the IPC protocol it speaks (e.g., user.varlink=1) and an eBPF program can then selectively capture traffic on those sockets. Enumerating bound sockets via netlink combined with these xattr labels gives a way to discover all Varlink IPC entrypoints for debugging and introspection. Similarly, systemd-journald wants to use xattrs on the /dev/log socket for protocol negotiation to indicate whether RFC 5424 structured syslog is supported or whether only the legacy RFC 3164 format should be used. In containers these labels are particularly useful as high-privilege or more complicated solutions for socket identification aren't available. The series comes with comprehensive selftests covering path-based AF_UNIX sockets, sockfs socket operations, per-inode limit enforcement, and xattr operations across multiple address families (AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, AF_PACKET)" * tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: selftests/xattr: test xattrs on various socket families selftests/xattr: sockfs socket xattr tests selftests/xattr: path-based AF_UNIX socket xattr tests xattr: support extended attributes on sockets xattr,net: support limited amount of extended attributes on sockfs sockets xattr: move user limits for xattrs to generic infra xattr: switch xattr_permission() to switch statement xattr: add xattr_permission_error() xattr: remove rbtree-based simple_xattr infrastructure pidfs: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs kernfs: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs with lazy allocation shmem: adapt to rhashtable-based simple_xattrs with lazy allocation xattr: add rhashtable-based simple_xattr infrastructure xattr: add rcu_head and rhash_head to struct simple_xattr

KVM SVM changes for 7.1 - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC (the tracking needs to be per-vCPU, e.g. so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs). - Fix an undefined behavior warning where a crafty userspace can read the "avic" module param before it's fully initialized. - Fix a (likely benign) bug in the "OS-visible workarounds" handling, where KVM could clobber state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel, and clean up and optimize the code. - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a "too large" size based purely on user input, and clean up and harden the related pinning code. - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will trigger an RMP violation #PF and crash the host. - Protect all of sev_mem_enc_register_region() with kvm->lock to ensure sev_guest() is stable for the entire of the function. - Lock all vCPUs when synchronizing VMSAs for SNP guests to ensure the VMSA page isn't actively being used. - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries are required to hold kvm->lock (KVM has had multiple bugs due "is SEV?" checks becoming stale), enforced by lockdep. Add and use vCPU-scoped APIs when possible/appropriate, as all checks that originate from a vCPU are guaranteed to be stable. - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().

2026-04-13Merge branch 'nocache-cleanup'Linus Torvalds
This series cleans up some of the special user copy functions naming and semantics. In particular, get rid of the (very traditional) double underscore names and behavior: the whole "optimize away the range check" model has been largely excised from the other user accessors because it's so subtle and can be unsafe, but also because it's just not a relevant optimization any more. To do that, a couple of drivers that misused the "user" copies as kernel copies in order to get non-temporal stores had to be fixed up, but that kind of code should never have been allowed anyway. The x86-only "nocache" version was also renamed to more accurately reflect what it actually does. This was all done because I looked at this code due to a report by Jann Horn, and I just couldn't stand the inconsistent naming, the horrible semantics, and the random misuse of these functions. This code should probably be cleaned up further, but it's at least slightly closer to normal semantics. I had a more intrusive series that went even further in trying to normalize the semantics, but that ended up hitting so many other inconsistencies between different architectures in this area (eg 'size_t' vs 'unsigned long' vs 'int' as size arguments, and various iovec check differences that Vasily Gorbik pointed out) that I ended up with this more limited version that fixed the worst of the issues.

2026-04-13tcp: update window_clamp when SO_RCVBUF is setJakub Kicinski
Commit under Fixes moved recomputing the window clamp to tcp_measure_rcv_mss() (when scaling_ratio changes). I suspect it missed the fact that we don't recompute the clamp when rcvbuf is set. Until scaling_ratio changes we are stuck with the old window clamp which may be based on the small initial buffer. scaling_ratio may never change. Inspired by Eric's recent commit d1361840f8c5 ("tcp: fix SO_RCVLOWAT and RCVBUF autotuning") plumb the user action thru to TCP and have it update the clamp. A smaller fix would be to just have tcp_rcvbuf_grow() adjust the clamp even if SOCK_RCVBUF_LOCK is set. But IIUC this is what we were trying to get away from in the first place.

Add support for GPIO type 0x02, which controls an IR flood LED used for face authentication on some laptops (e.g. Dell Pro Max 16 Premium). Without this patch, the kernel logs "GPIO type 0x02 unknown; the sensor may not work" and IR sensors paired with a flood LED cannot function. The flood LED is registered through the LED subsystem like the existing privacy LED, including a lookup entry to allow future consumer drivers to find and control it via led_get().

2026-04-13Merge tag 'kvm-x86-vmxon-7.1' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEADPaolo Bonzini
KVM x86 VMXON and EFER.SVME extraction for 7.1 Move _only_ VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (versus all of VMX and SVM enabling) out of KVM and into the core kernel so that non-KVM TDX enabling, e.g. for trusted I/O, can make SEAMCALLs without needing to ensure KVM is fully loaded. TIO isn't a hypervisor, and isn't trying to be a hypervisor. Specifically, TIO should _never_ have it's own VMCSes (that are visible to the host; the TDX-Module has it's own VMCSes to do SEAMCALL/SEAMRET), and so there is simply no reason to move that functionality out of KVM. With that out of the way, dealing with VMXON/VMXOFF and EFER.SVME is a fairly simple refcounting game.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD KVM/arm64 updates for 7.1 * New features: - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This comes with a full infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware. - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM. - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, with anonymous memory being used as a backing store. About time! * Improvements and bug fixes: - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable. - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables on a per-VM basis. - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow. - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead to very bad HW lockups. - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases. - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host SMCCC calls. - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn.

This conflicts with MAC drivers that implement their own LPI control. Add a .disable_autonomous_eee callback to struct phy_driver and call it from phy_support_eee().

2026-04-12net: tso: Introduce tso_dma_map and helpersJoe Damato
Add struct tso_dma_map to tso.h for tracking DMA addresses of mapped GSO payload data and tso_dma_map_completion_state. The tso_dma_map combines DMA mapping storage with iterator state, allowing drivers to walk pre-mapped DMA regions linearly. Includes fields for the DMA IOVA path (iova_state, iova_offset, total_len) and a fallback per-region path (linear_dma, frags[], frag_idx, offset). The tso_dma_map_completion_state makes the IOVA completion state opaque for drivers. Drivers are expected to allocate this and use the added helpers to update the completion state. Adds skb_frag_phys() to skbuff.h, returning the physical address of a paged fragment's data, which is used by the tso_dma_map helpers introduced in this commit described below. The added TSO DMA map helpers are: tso_dma_map_init(): DMA-maps the linear payload region and all frags upfront. Prefers the DMA IOVA API for a single contiguous mapping with one IOTLB sync; falls back to per-region dma_map_phys() otherwise. Returns 0 on success, cleans up partial mappings on failure. tso_dma_map_cleanup(): Handles both IOVA and fallback teardown paths. tso_dma_map_count(): counts how many descriptors the next N bytes of payload will need. Returns 1 if IOVA is used since the mapping is contiguous. tso_dma_map_next(): yields the next (dma_addr, chunk_len) pair. On the IOVA path, each segment is a single contiguous chunk. On the fallback path, indicates when a chunk starts a new DMA mapping so the driver can set dma_unmap_len on that descriptor for completion-time unmapping. tso_dma_map_completion_save(): updates the completion state. Drivers will call this at xmit time. tso_dma_map_complete(): tears down the mapping at completion time and returns true if the IOVA path was used. If it was not used, this is a no-op and returns false.

2026-04-11driver core: Don't let a device probe until it's readyDouglas Anderson
The moment we link a "struct device" into the list of devices for the bus, it's possible probe can happen. This is because another thread can load the driver at any time and that can cause the device to probe. This has been seen in practice with a stack crawl that looks like this [1]: really_probe() __driver_probe_device() driver_probe_device() __driver_attach() bus_for_each_dev() driver_attach() bus_add_driver() driver_register() __platform_driver_register() init_module() [some module] do_one_initcall() do_init_module() load_module() __arm64_sys_finit_module() invoke_syscall() As a result of the above, it was seen that device_links_driver_bound() could be called for the device before "dev->fwnode->dev" was assigned. This prevented __fw_devlink_pickup_dangling_consumers() from being called which meant that other devices waiting on our driver's sub-nodes were stuck deferring forever. It's believed that this problem is showing up suddenly for two reasons: 1. Android has recently (last ~1 year) implemented an optimization to the order it loads modules [2]. When devices opt-in to this faster loading, modules are loaded one-after-the-other very quickly. This is unlike how other distributions do it. The reproduction of this problem has only been seen on devices that opt-in to Android's "parallel module loading". 2. Android devices typically opt-in to fw_devlink, and the most noticeable issue is the NULL "dev->fwnode->dev" in device_links_driver_bound(). fw_devlink is somewhat new code and also not in use by all Linux devices. Even though the specific symptom where "dev->fwnode->dev" wasn't assigned could be fixed by moving that assignment higher in device_add(), other parts of device_add() (like the call to device_pm_add()) are also important to run before probe. Only moving the "dev->fwnode->dev" assignment would likely fix the current symptoms but lead to difficult-to-debug problems in the future. Fix the problem by preventing probe until device_add() has run far enough that the device is ready to probe. If somehow we end up trying to probe before we're allowed, __driver_probe_device() will return -EPROBE_DEFER which will make certain the device is noticed. In the race condition that was seen with Android's faster module loading, we will temporarily add the device to the deferred list and then take it off immediately when device_add() probes the device. Instead of adding another flag to the bitfields already in "struct device", instead add a new "flags" field and use that. This allows us to freely change the bit from different thread without worrying about corrupting nearby bits (and means threads changing other bit won't corrupt us).

2026-04-10bpf: Remove gfp_flags plumbing from bpf_local_storage_update()Amery Hung
Remove the check that rejects sleepable BPF programs from doing BPF_ANY/BPF_EXIST updates on local storage. This restriction was added in commit b00fa38a9c1c ("bpf: Enable non-atomic allocations in local storage") because kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) could sleep inside local_storage->lock. This is no longer a concern: all local storage allocations now use kmalloc_nolock() which never sleeps. In addition, since kmalloc_nolock() only accepts __GFP_ACCOUNT, __GFP_ZERO and __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT, the gfp_flags parameter plumbing from bpf_*_storage_get() to bpf_local_storage_update() becomes dead code. Remove gfp_flags from bpf_selem_alloc(), bpf_local_storage_alloc() and bpf_local_storage_update(). Drop the hidden 5th argument from bpf_*_storage_get helpers, and remove the verifier patching that injected GFP_KERNEL/GFP_ATOMIC into the fifth argument.

2026-04-10bpf: Use kmalloc_nolock() universally in local storageAmery Hung
Switch to kmalloc_nolock() universally in local storage. Socket local storage didn't move to kmalloc_nolock() when BPF memory allocator was replaced by it for performance reasons. Now that kfree_rcu() supports freeing memory allocated by kmalloc_nolock(), we can move the remaining local storages to use kmalloc_nolock() and cleanup the cluttered free paths. Use kfree() instead of kfree_nolock() in bpf_selem_free_trace_rcu() and bpf_local_storage_free_trace_rcu(). Both callbacks run in process context where spinning is allowed, so kfree_nolock() is unnecessary. Benchmark: ./bench -p 1 local-storage-create --storage-type socket \ --batch-size {16,32,64} The benchmark is a microbenchmark stress-testing how fast local storage can be created. There is no measurable throughput change for socket local storage after switching from kzalloc() to kmalloc_nolock(). Socket local storage batch creation speed diff --------------- ---- ------------------ ---- Baseline 16 433.9 ± 0.6 k/s 32 434.3 ± 1.4 k/s 64 434.2 ± 0.7 k/s After 16 439.0 ± 1.9 k/s +1.2% 32 437.3 ± 2.0 k/s +0.7% 64 435.8 ± 2.5k/s +0.4% Also worth noting that the baseline got a 5% throughput boost when sheaf replaces percpu partial slab recently [0].

As a sanity check poison stack slots that stack liveness determined to be dead, so that any read from such slots will cause program rejection. If stack liveness logic is incorrect the poison can cause valid program to be rejected, but it also will prevent unsafe program to be accepted. Allow global subprogs "read" poisoned stack slots. The static stack liveness determined that subprog doesn't read certain stack slots, but sizeof(arg_type) based global subprog validation isn't accurate enough to know which slots will actually be read by the callee, so it needs to check full sizeof(arg_type) at the caller.

2026-04-10bpf: simplify liveness to use (callsite, depth) keyed func_instancesEduard Zingerman
Rework func_instance identification and remove the dynamic liveness API, completing the transition to fully static stack liveness analysis. Replace callchain-based func_instance keys with (callsite, depth) pairs. The full callchain (all ancestor callsites) is no longer part of the hash key; only the immediate callsite and the call depth matter. This does not lose precision in practice and simplifies the data structure significantly: struct callchain is removed entirely, func_instance stores just callsite, depth. Drop must_write_acc propagation. Previously, must_write marks were accumulated across successors and propagated to the caller via propagate_to_outer_instance(). Instead, callee entry liveness (live_before at subprog start) is pulled directly back to the caller's callsite in analyze_subprog() after each callee returns. Since (callsite, depth) instances are shared across different call chains that invoke the same subprog at the same depth, must_write marks from one call may be stale for another. To handle this, analyze_subprog() records into a fresh_instance() when the instance was already visited (must_write_initialized), then merge_instances() combines the results: may_read is unioned, must_write is intersected. This ensures only slots written on ALL paths through all call sites are marked as guaranteed writes. This replaces commit_stack_write_marks() logic. Skip recursive descent into callees that receive no FP-derived arguments (has_fp_args() check). This is needed because global subprogram calls can push depth beyond MAX_CALL_FRAMES (max depth is 64 for global calls but only 8 frames are accommodated for FP passing). It also handles the case where a callback subprog cannot be determined by argument tracking: such callbacks will be processed by analyze_subprog() at depth 0 independently. Update lookup_instance() (used by is_live_before queries) to search for the func_instance with maximal depth at the corresponding callsite, walking depth downward from frameno to 0. This accounts for the fact that instance depth no longer corresponds 1:1 to bpf_verifier_state->curframe, since skipped non-FP calls create gaps. Remove the dynamic public liveness API from verifier.c: - bpf_mark_stack_{read,write}(), bpf_reset/commit_stack_write_marks() - bpf_update_live_stack(), bpf_reset_live_stack_callchain() - All call sites in check_stack_{read,write}_fixed_off(), check_stack_range_initialized(), mark_stack_slot_obj_read(), mark/unmark_stack_slots_{dynptr,iter,irq_flag}() - The per-instruction write mark accumulation in do_check() - The bpf_update_live_stack() call in prepare_func_exit() mark_stack_read() and mark_stack_write() become static functions in liveness.c, called only from the static analysis pass. The func_instance->updated and must_write_dropped flags are removed. Remove spis_single_slot(), spis_one_bit() helpers from bpf_verifier.h as they are no longer used.

2026-04-10bpf: record arg tracking results in bpf_liveness masksEduard Zingerman
After arg tracking reaches a fixed point, perform a single linear scan over the converged at_in[] state and translate each memory access into liveness read/write masks on the func_instance: - Load/store instructions: FP-derived pointer's frame and offset(s) are converted to half-slot masks targeting per_frame_masks->{may_read,must_write} - Helper/kfunc calls: record_call_access() queries bpf_helper_stack_access_bytes() / bpf_kfunc_stack_access_bytes() for each FP-derived argument to determine access size and direction. Unknown access size (S64_MIN) conservatively marks all slots from fp_off to fp+0 as read. - Imprecise pointers (frame == ARG_IMPRECISE): conservatively mark all slots in every frame covered by the pointer's frame bitmask as fully read. - Static subprog calls with unresolved arguments: conservatively mark all frames as fully read. Instead of a call to clean_live_states(), start cleaning the current state continuously as registers and stack become dead since the static analysis provides complete liveness information. This makes clean_live_states() and bpf_verifier_state->cleaned unnecessary.
