2026-04-08thermal: core: Suspend thermal zones later and resume them earlierRafael J. Wysocki
To avoid some undesirable interactions between thermal zone suspend and resume with user space that is running when those operations are carried out, move them closer to the suspend and resume of devices, respectively, by updating dpm_prepare() to carry out thermal zone suspend and dpm_complete() to start thermal zone resume (that will continue asynchronously). This also makes the code easier to follow by removing one, arguably redundant, level of indirection represented by the thermal PM notifier. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2026-04-08entry: Split preemption from irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode()Mark Rutland
Some architecture-specific work needs to be performed between the state management for exception entry/exit and the "real" work to handle the exception. For example, arm64 needs to manipulate a number of exception masking bits, with different exceptions requiring different masking. Generally this can all be hidden in the architecture code, but for arm64 the current structure of irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode() makes this particularly difficult to handle in a way that is correct, maintainable, and efficient. The gory details are described in the thread surrounding: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/acPAzdtjK5w-rNqC@J2N7QTR9R3/ The summary is: * Currently, irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode() handles both involuntary preemption AND state management necessary for exception return. * When scheduling (including involuntary preemption), arm64 needs to have all arm64-specific exceptions unmasked, though regular interrupts must be masked. * Prior to the state management for exception return, arm64 needs to mask a number of arm64-specific exceptions, and perform some work with these exceptions masked (with RCU watching, etc). While in theory it is possible to handle this with a new arch_*() hook called somewhere under irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode(), this is fragile and complicated, and doesn't match the flow used for exception return to user mode, which has a separate 'prepare' step (where preemption can occur) prior to the state management. To solve this, refactor irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode() to match the style of {irqentry,syscall}_exit_to_user_mode(), moving preemption logic into a new irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode_preempt() function, and moving state management in a new irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode_after_preempt() function. The existing irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode() is left as a caller of both of these, avoiding the need to modify existing callers. There should be no functional change as a result of this change.

2026-04-08entry: Split kernel mode logic from irqentry_{enter,exit}()Mark Rutland
The generic irqentry code has entry/exit functions specifically for exceptions taken from user mode, but doesn't have entry/exit functions specifically for exceptions taken from kernel mode. It would be helpful to have separate entry/exit functions specifically for exceptions taken from kernel mode. This would make the structure of the entry code more consistent, and would make it easier for architectures to manage logic specific to exceptions taken from kernel mode. Move the logic specific to kernel mode out of irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit() into new irqentry_enter_from_kernel_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode() functions. These are marked __always_inline and placed in irq-entry-common.h, as with irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_user_mode(), so that they can be inlined into architecture-specific wrappers. The existing out-of-line irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit() functions retained as callers of the new functions. The lockdep assertion from irqentry_exit() is moved into irqentry_exit_to_user_mode() and irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode(). This was previously missing from irqentry_exit_to_user_mode() when called directly, and any new lockdep assertion failure relating from this change is a latent bug. Aside from the lockdep change noted above, there should be no functional change as a result of this change.

2026-04-08entry: Remove local_irq_{enable,disable}_exit_to_user()Mark Rutland
local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() are never overridden by architecture code, and are always equivalent to local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable(). These functions were added on the assumption that arm64 would override them to manage 'DAIF' exception masking, as described by Thomas Gleixner in these threads: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190919150809.340471236@linutronix.de/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/alpine.DEB.2.21.1910240119090.1852@nanos.tec.linutronix.de/ In practice arm64 did not need to override either. Prior to moving to the generic irqentry code, arm64's management of DAIF was reworked in commit: 97d935faacde ("arm64: Unmask Debug + SError in do_notify_resume()") Since that commit, arm64 only masks interrupts during the 'prepare' step when returning to user mode, and masks other DAIF exceptions later. Within arm64_exit_to_user_mode(), the arm64 entry code is as follows: local_irq_disable(); exit_to_user_mode_prepare_legacy(regs); local_daif_mask(); mte_check_tfsr_exit(); exit_to_user_mode(); Remove the unnecessary local_irq_enable_exit_to_user() and local_irq_disable_exit_to_user() functions.

2026-04-08netfilter: use function typedefs for __rcu NAT helper hook pointersSun Jian
After commit 07919126ecfc ("netfilter: annotate NAT helper hook pointers with __rcu"), sparse can warn about type/address-space mismatches when RCU-dereferencing NAT helper hook function pointers. The hooks are __rcu-annotated and accessed via rcu_dereference(), but the combination of complex function pointer declarators and the WRITE_ONCE() machinery used by RCU_INIT_POINTER()/rcu_assign_pointer() can confuse sparse and trigger false positives. Introduce typedefs for the NAT helper function types, so __rcu applies to a simple "fn_t __rcu *" pointer form. Also replace local typeof(hook) variables with "fn_t *" to avoid propagating __rcu address space into temporaries. No functional change intended.

With more integrated memory GPU server systems turning up, and more requirements for memory tracking it seems we should start closing the gap. Add two counters to track GPU per-node system memory allocations. The first is currently allocated to GPU objects, and the second is for memory that is stored in GPU page pools that can be reclaimed, by the shrinker.

2026-04-07lsm: Add LSM hook security_unix_findJustin Suess
Add an LSM hook security_unix_find. This hook is called to check the path of a named UNIX socket before a connection is initiated. The peer socket may be inspected as well. Why existing hooks are unsuitable: Existing socket hooks, security_unix_stream_connect(), security_unix_may_send(), and security_socket_connect() don't provide TOCTOU-free / namespace independent access to the paths of sockets. (1) We cannot resolve the path from the struct sockaddr in existing hooks. This requires another path lookup. A change in the path between the two lookups will cause a TOCTOU bug. (2) We cannot use the struct path from the listening socket, because it may be bound to a path in a different namespace than the caller, resulting in a path that cannot be referenced at policy creation time. Consumers of the hook wishing to reference @other are responsible for acquiring the unix_state_lock and checking for the SOCK_DEAD flag therein, ensuring the socket hasn't died since lookup.

2026-04-07lib/fonts: Implement font rotationThomas Zimmermann
Move the core of fbcon's font-rotation code to the font library as the new helper font_data_rotate(). The code can rotate in steps of 90°. For completeness, it also copies the glyph data for multiples of 360°. Bring back the memset optimization. A memset to 0 again clears the whole glyph output buffer. Then use the internal rotation helpers on the cleared output. Fbcon's original implementation worked like this, but lost it during refactoring. Replace fbcon's font-rotation code with the new implementations. All that's left to do for fbcon is to maintain its internal fbcon state. v2: - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-04-07lib/fonts: Implement glyph rotationThomas Zimmermann
Move the glyph rotation helpers from fbcon to the font library. Wrap them behind clean interfaces. Also clear the output memory to zero. Previously, the implementation relied on the caller to do that. Go through the fbcon code and callers of the glyph-rotation helpers. In addition to the font rotation, there's also the cursor code, which uses the rotation helpers. The font-rotation relied on a single memset to zero for the whole font. This is now multiple memsets on each glyph. This will be sorted out when the font library also implements font rotation. Building glyph rotation in the font library still depends on CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y. If we get more users of the code, we can still add a dedicated Kconfig symbol to the font library. No changes have been made to the actual implementation of the rotate_*() and pattern_*() functions.

The cpuidle_unregister_device() function always acquires the internal cpuidle_lock (or pause/resume idle) during their execution. However, in some power notification scenarios (e.g., when old idle states may become unavailable), it is necessary to efficiently disable cpuidle first, then remove and re-create all cpuidle devices for all CPUs. To avoid frequent lock overhead and ensure atomicity across the entire batch operation, the caller needs to hold the cpuidle_lock once outside the loop. To address this, extract the core logic into the new function cpuidle_unregister_device_no_lock() and export it.

2026-04-06drbd: remove DRBD_GENLA_F_MANDATORY flag handlingChristoph Böhmwalder
DRBD used a custom mechanism to mark netlink attributes as "mandatory": bit 14 of nla_type was repurposed as DRBD_GENLA_F_MANDATORY. Attributes sent from userspace that had this bit present and that were unknown to the kernel would lead to an error. Since commit ef6243acb478 ("genetlink: optionally validate strictly/dumps"), the generic netlink layer rejects unknown top-level attributes when strict validation is enabled. DRBD never opted out of strict validation, so unknown top-level attributes are already rejected by the netlink core. The mandatory flag mechanism was required for nested attributes, because these are parsed liberally, silently dropping attributes unknown to the kernel. This prepares for the move to a new YNL-based family, which will use the now-default strict parsing. The current family is not expected to gain any new attributes, which makes this change safe. Old userspace that still sets bit 14 is unaffected: nla_type() strips it before __nla_validate_parse() performs attribute validation, so the bit never reaches DRBD. Remove all references to the mandatory flag in DRBD.

2026-04-06PCI/TPH: Pass ACPI Processor UID to Cache Locality _DSMChengwen Feng
pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() uses the Query Cache Locality Features _DSM [1] to retrieve the TPH Steering Tag for memory associated with the CPU identified by its "cpu_uid" parameter, a Linux logical CPU ID. The _DSM requires an ACPI Processor UID, which pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() previously assumed was the same as the Linux logical CPU ID. This is true on x86 but not on arm64, so pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() returned the wrong Steering Tag, resulting in incorrect TPH functionality on arm64. Convert the Linux logical CPU ID to the ACPI Processor UID with acpi_get_cpu_uid() before passing it to the _DSM. Additionally, rename the pcie_tph_get_cpu_st() parameter from "cpu_uid" to "cpu" to reflect that it represents a logical CPU ID (not an ACPI Processor UID). [1] According to ECN_TPH-ST_Revision_20200924 (https://members.pcisig.com/wg/PCI-SIG/document/15470), the input is defined as: "If the target is a processor, then this field represents the ACPI Processor UID of the processor as specified in the MADT.

2026-04-05mm: add softleaf_is_valid_pmd_entry(), pmd_to_softleaf_folio()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Separate pmd_is_valid_softleaf() into separate components, then use the pmd_is_valid_softleaf() predicate to implement pmd_to_softleaf_folio(). This returns the folio associated with a softleaf entry at PMD level. It expects this to be valid for a PMD entry. If CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set, then assert on this being an invalid entry, and either way return NULL in this case. This lays the ground for further refactorings.

2026-04-05mm/huge_memory: simplify vma_is_specal_huge()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Patch series "mm/huge_memory: refactor zap_huge_pmd()", v3. zap_huge_pmd() is overly complicated, clean it up and also add an assert in the case that we encounter a buggy PMD entry that doesn't match expectations. This is motivated by a bug discovered [0] where the PMD entry was none of: * A non-DAX, PFN or mixed map. * The huge zero folio * A present PMD entry * A softleaf entry In zap_huge_pmd(), but due to the bug we manged to reach this code. It is useful to explicitly call this out rather than have an arbitrary NULL pointer dereference happen, which also improves understanding of what's going on. The series goes further to make use of vm_normal_folio_pmd() rather than implementing custom logic for retrieving the folio, and extends softleaf functionality to provide and use an equivalent softleaf function. This patch (of 13): This function is confused - it overloads the term 'special' yet again, checks for DAX but in many cases the code explicitly excludes DAX before invoking the predicate. It also unnecessarily checks for vma->vm_file - this has to be present for a driver to have set VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT or VMA_PFNMAP_BIT. In fact, a far simpler form of this is to reverse the DAX predicate and return false if DAX is set. This makes sense from the point of view of 'special' as in vm_normal_page(), as DAX actually does potentially have retrievable folios. Also there's no need to have this in mm.h so move it to huge_memory.c. No functional change intended.

2026-04-05mm: add mmap_action_map_kernel_pages[_full]()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
A user can invoke mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() to specify that the mapping should map kernel pages starting from desc->start of a specified number of pages specified in an array. In order to implement this, adjust mmap_action_prepare() to be able to return an error code, as it makes sense to assert that the specified parameters are valid as quickly as possible as well as updating the VMA flags to include VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT as necessary. This provides an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_insert_pages(). We additionally update the existing vm_insert_pages() code to use range_in_vma() and add a new range_in_vma_desc() helper function for the mmap_prepare case, sharing the code between the two in range_is_subset(). We add both mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() and mmap_action_map_kernel_pages_full() to allow for both partial and full VMA mappings. We update the documentation to reflect the new features. Finally, we update the VMA tests accordingly to reflect the changes.

The f_op->mmap interface is deprecated, so update the vmbus driver to use its successor, mmap_prepare. This updates all callbacks which referenced the function pointer hv_mmap_ring_buffer to instead reference hv_mmap_prepare_ring_buffer, utilising the newly introduced compat_set_desc_from_vma() and __compat_vma_mmap() to be able to implement this change. The UIO HV generic driver is the only user of hv_create_ring_sysfs(), which is the only function which references vmbus_channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer which, in turn, is the only external interface to hv_mmap_prepare_ring_buffer. This patch therefore updates this caller to use mmap_prepare instead, which also previously used vm_iomap_memory(), so this change replaces it with its mmap_prepare equivalent, mmap_action_simple_ioremap().

2026-04-05mm: allow handling of stacked mmap_prepare hooks in more driversLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
While the conversion of mmap hooks to mmap_prepare is underway, we will encounter situations where mmap hooks need to invoke nested mmap_prepare hooks. The nesting of mmap hooks is termed 'stacking'. In order to flexibly facilitate the conversion of custom mmap hooks in drivers which stack, we must split up the existing __compat_vma_mmap() function into two separate functions: * compat_set_desc_from_vma() - This allows the setting of a vm_area_desc object's fields to the relevant fields of a VMA. * __compat_vma_mmap() - Once an mmap_prepare hook has been executed upon a vm_area_desc object, this function performs any mmap actions specified by the mmap_prepare hook and then invokes its vm_ops->mapped() hook if any were specified. In ordinary cases, where a file's f_op->mmap_prepare() hook simply needs to be invoked in a stacked mmap() hook, compat_vma_mmap() can be used. However some drivers define their own nested hooks, which are invoked in turn by another hook. A concrete example is vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer(), which is invoked in turn by bin_attribute->mmap(): vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer() has a signature of: int (*mmap_ring_buffer)(struct vmbus_channel *channel, struct vm_area_struct *vma); And bin_attribute->mmap() has a signature of: int (*mmap)(struct file *, struct kobject *, const struct bin_attribute *attr, struct vm_area_struct *vma); And so compat_vma_mmap() cannot be used here for incremental conversion of hooks from mmap() to mmap_prepare(). There are many such instances like this, where conversion to mmap_prepare would otherwise cascade to a huge change set due to nesting of this kind. The changes in this patch mean we could now instead convert vmbus_channel->mmap_ring_buffer() to vmbus_channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer(), and implement something like: struct vm_area_desc desc; int err; compat_set_desc_from_vma(&desc, file, vma); err = channel->mmap_prepare_ring_buffer(channel, &desc); if (err) return err; return __compat_vma_mmap(&desc, vma); Allowing us to incrementally update this logic, and other logic like it. Unfortunately, as part of this change, we need to be able to flexibly assign to the VMA descriptor, so have to remove some of the const declarations within the structure. Also update the VMA tests to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm: add mmap_action_simple_ioremap()Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Currently drivers use vm_iomap_memory() as a simple helper function for I/O remapping memory over a range starting at a specified physical address over a specified length. In order to utilise this from mmap_prepare, separate out the core logic into __simple_ioremap_prep(), update vm_iomap_memory() to use it, and add simple_ioremap_prepare() to do the same with a VMA descriptor object. We also add MMAP_SIMPLE_IO_REMAP and relevant fields to the struct mmap_action type to permit this operation also. We use mmap_action_ioremap() to set up the actual I/O remap operation once we have checked and figured out the parameters, which makes simple_ioremap_prepare() easy to implement. We then add mmap_action_simple_ioremap() to allow drivers to make use of this mode. We update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe this mode. Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

2026-04-05mm: add vm_ops->mapped hookLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Previously, when a driver needed to do something like establish a reference count, it could do so in the mmap hook in the knowledge that the mapping would succeed. With the introduction of f_op->mmap_prepare this is no longer the case, as it is invoked prior to actually establishing the mapping. mmap_prepare is not appropriate for this kind of thing as it is called before any merge might take place, and after which an error might occur meaning resources could be leaked. To take this into account, introduce a new vm_ops->mapped callback which is invoked when the VMA is first mapped (though notably - not when it is merged - which is correct and mirrors existing mmap/open/close behaviour). We do better that vm_ops->open() here, as this callback can return an error, at which point the VMA will be unmapped. Note that vm_ops->mapped() is invoked after any mmap action is complete (such as I/O remapping). We intentionally do not expose the VMA at this point, exposing only the fields that could be used, and an output parameter in case the operation needs to update the vma->vm_private_data field. In order to deal with stacked filesystems which invoke inner filesystem's mmap() invocations, add __compat_vma_mapped() and invoke it on vfs_mmap() (via compat_vma_mmap()) to ensure that the mapped callback is handled when an mmap() caller invokes a nested filesystem's mmap_prepare() callback. Update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe the mapped hook and make it clear what its intended use is.

2026-04-05mm: various small mmap_prepare cleanupsLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Patch series "mm: expand mmap_prepare functionality and usage", v4. This series expands the mmap_prepare functionality, which is intended to replace the deprecated f_op->mmap hook which has been the source of bugs and security issues for some time. This series starts with some cleanup of existing mmap_prepare logic, then adds documentation for the mmap_prepare call to make it easier for filesystem and driver writers to understand how it works. It then importantly adds a vm_ops->mapped hook, a key feature that was missing from mmap_prepare previously - this is invoked when a driver which specifies mmap_prepare has successfully been mapped but not merged with another VMA. mmap_prepare is invoked prior to a merge being attempted, so you cannot manipulate state such as reference counts as if it were a new mapping. The vm_ops->mapped hook allows a driver to perform tasks required at this stage, and provides symmetry against subsequent vm_ops->open,close calls. The series uses this to correct the afs implementation which wrongly manipulated reference count at mmap_prepare time. It then adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_iomap_memory() - mmap_action_simple_ioremap(), then uses this to update a number of drivers. It then splits out the mmap_prepare compatibility layer (which allows for invocation of mmap_prepare hooks in an mmap() hook) in such a way as to allow for more incremental implementation of mmap_prepare hooks. It then uses this to extend mmap_prepare usage in drivers. Finally it adds an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_map_pages(), which lays the foundation for future work which will extend mmap_prepare to DMA coherent mappings. This patch (of 21): Rather than passing arbitrary fields, pass a vm_area_desc pointer to mmap prepare functions to mmap prepare, and an action and vma pointer to mmap complete in order to put all the action-specific logic in the function actually doing the work. Additionally, allow mmap prepare functions to return an error so we can error out as soon as possible if there is something logically incorrect in the input. Update remap_pfn_range_prepare() to properly check the input range for the CoW case. Also remove io_remap_pfn_range_complete(), as we can simply set up the fields correctly in io_remap_pfn_range_prepare() and use remap_pfn_range_complete() for this. While we're here, make remap_pfn_range_prepare_vma() a little neater, and pass mmap_action directly to call_action_complete(). Then, update compat_vma_mmap() to perform its logic directly, as __compat_vma_map() is not used by anything so we don't need to export it. Also update compat_vma_mmap() to use vfs_mmap_prepare() rather than calling the mmap_prepare op directly. Finally, update the VMA userland tests to reflect the changes.

2026-04-05mm/vma: convert __mmap_region() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Update the mmap() implementation logic implemented in __mmap_region() and functions invoked by it. The mmap_region() function converts its input vm_flags_t parameter to a vma_flags_t value which it then passes to __mmap_region() which uses the vma_flags_t value consistently from then on. As part of the change, we convert map_deny_write_exec() to using vma_flags_t (it was incorrectly using unsigned long before), and place it in vma.h, as it is only used internal to mm. With this change, we eliminate the legacy is_shared_maywrite_vm_flags() helper function which is now no longer required. We are also able to update the MMAP_STATE() and VMG_MMAP_STATE() macros to use the vma_flags_t value. Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect the change.

2026-04-05mm/vma: convert vma_modify_flags[_uffd]() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
Update the vma_modify_flags() and vma_modify_flags_uffd() functions to accept a vma_flags_t parameter rather than a vm_flags_t one, and propagate the changes as needed to implement this change. Also add vma_flags_reset_once() in replacement of vm_flags_reset_once(). We still need to be careful here because we need to avoid tearing, so maintain the assumption that the first system word set of flags are the only ones that require protection from tearing, and retain this functionality. We can copy the remainder of VMA flags above 64 bits normally. But hopefully by the time that happens, we will have replaced the logic that requires these WRITE_ONCE()'s with something else. We also replace instances of vm_flags_reset() with a simple write of VMA flags. We are no longer perform a number of checks, most notable of all the VMA flags asserts becase: 1. We might be operating on a VMA that is not yet added to the tree. 2. We might be operating on a VMA that is now detached. 3. Really in all but core code, you should be using vma_desc_xxx(). 4. Other VMA fields are manipulated with no such checks. 5. It'd be egregious to have to add variants of flag functions just to account for cases such as the above, especially when we don't do so for other VMA fields. Drivers are the problematic cases and why it was especially important (and also for debug as VMA locks were introduced), the mmap_prepare work is solving this generally. Additionally, we can fairly safely assume by this point the soft dirty flags are being set correctly, so it's reasonable to drop this also. Finally, update the VMA tests to reflect this.

2026-04-05mm: convert do_brk_flags() to use vma_flags_tLorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
In order to be able to do this, we need to change VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS and friends and update the architecture-specific definitions also. We then have to update some KSM logic to handle VMA flags, and introduce VMA_STACK_FLAGS to define the vma_flags_t equivalent of VM_STACK_FLAGS. We also introduce two helper functions for use during the time we are converting legacy flags to vma_flags_t values - vma_flags_to_legacy() and legacy_to_vma_flags(). This enables us to iteratively make changes to break these changes up into separate parts. We use these explicitly here to keep VM_STACK_FLAGS around for certain users which need to maintain the legacy vm_flags_t values for the time being. We are no longer able to rely on the simple VM_xxx being set to zero if the feature is not enabled, so in the case of VM_DROPPABLE we introduce VMA_DROPPABLE as the vma_flags_t equivalent, which is set to EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS if the droppable flag is not available. While we're here, we make the description of do_brk_flags() into a kdoc comment, as it almost was already. We use vma_flags_to_legacy() to not need to update the vm_get_page_prot() logic as this time. Note that in create_init_stack_vma() we have to replace the BUILD_BUG_ON() with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() as the tested values are no longer build time available. We also update mprotect_fixup() to use VMA flags where possible, though we have to live with a little duplication between vm_flags_t and vma_flags_t values for the time being until further conversions are made. While we're here, update VM_SPECIAL to be defined in terms of VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS now we have vma_flags_to_legacy(). Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect these changes.
