2026-01-27f2fs: check skipped write in f2fs_enable_checkpoint()Chao Yu
This patch introduces sbi->nr_pages[F2FS_SKIPPED_WRITE] to record any skipped write during data flush in f2fs_enable_checkpoint(). So in the loop of data flush, if there is any skipped write in previous flush, let's retry sync_inode_sb(), otherwise, all dirty data written before f2fs_enable_checkpoint() should have been persisted, then break the retry loop.

2026-01-26xdrgen: Add enum value validation to generated decodersChuck Lever
XDR enum decoders generated by xdrgen do not verify that incoming values are valid members of the enum. Incoming out-of-range values from malicious or buggy peers propagate through the system unchecked. Add validation logic to generated enum decoders using a switch statement that explicitly lists valid enumerator values. The compiler optimizes this to a simple range check when enum values are dense (contiguous), while correctly rejecting invalid values for sparse enums with gaps in their value ranges. The --no-enum-validation option on the source subcommand disables this validation when not needed. The minimum and maximum fields in _XdrEnum, which were previously unused placeholders for a range-based validation approach, have been removed since the switch-based validation handles both dense and sparse enums correctly. Because the new mechanism results in substantive changes to generated code, existing .x files are regenerated. Unrelated white space and semicolon changes in the generated code are due to recent commit 1c873a2fd110 ("xdrgen: Don't generate unnecessary semicolon") and commit 38c4df91242b ("xdrgen: Address some checkpatch whitespace complaints").

2026-01-26nfsd: fix return error code for nfsd_map_name_to_[ug]idAnthony Iliopoulos
idmap lookups can time out while the cache is waiting for a userspace upcall reply. In that case cache_check() returns -ETIMEDOUT to callers. The nfsd_map_name_to_[ug]id functions currently proceed with attempting to map the id to a kuid despite a potentially temporary failure to perform the idmap lookup. This results in the code returning the error NFSERR_BADOWNER which can cause client operations to return to userspace with failure. Fix this by returning the failure status before attempting kuid mapping. This will return NFSERR_JUKEBOX on idmap lookup timeout so that clients can retry the operation instead of aborting it.

2026-01-26nfsd: never defer requests during idmap lookupAnthony Iliopoulos
During v4 request compound arg decoding, some ops (e.g. SETATTR) can trigger idmap lookup upcalls. When those upcall responses get delayed beyond the allowed time limit, cache_check() will mark the request for deferral and cause it to be dropped. This prevents nfs4svc_encode_compoundres from being executed, and thus the session slot flag NFSD4_SLOT_INUSE never gets cleared. Subsequent client requests will fail with NFSERR_JUKEBOX, given that the slot will be marked as in-use, making the SEQUENCE op fail. Fix this by making sure that the RQ_USEDEFERRAL flag is always clear during nfs4svc_decode_compoundargs(), since no v4 request should ever be deferred.

2026-01-26nfsd: use workqueue enable/disable APIs for v4_end_grace syncNeilBrown
"nfsd: provide locking for v4_end_grace" introduced a client_tracking_active flag protected by nn->client_lock to prevent the laundromat from being scheduled before client tracking initialization or after shutdown begins. That commit is suitable for backporting to LTS kernels that predate commit 86898fa6b8cd ("workqueue: Implement disable/enable for (delayed) work items"). However, the workqueue subsystem in recent kernels provides enable_delayed_work() and disable_delayed_work_sync() for this purpose. Using this mechanism enable us to remove the client_tracking_active flag and associated spinlock operations while preserving the same synchronization guarantees, which is a cleaner long-term approach.

2026-01-26NFS: NFSERR_INVAL is not defined by NFSv2Chuck Lever
A documenting comment in include/uapi/linux/nfs.h claims incorrectly that NFSv2 defines NFSERR_INVAL. There is no such definition in either RFC 1094 or https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629799/chap7.htm NFS3ERR_INVAL is introduced in RFC 1813. NFSD returns NFSERR_INVAL for PROC_GETACL, which has no specification (yet). However, nfsd_map_status() maps nfserr_symlink and nfserr_wrong_type to nfserr_inval, which does not align with RFC 1094. This logic was introduced only recently by commit 438f81e0e92a ("nfsd: move error choice for incorrect object types to version-specific code."). Given that we have no INVAL or SERVERFAULT status in NFSv2, probably the only choice is NFSERR_IO. Fixes: 438f81e0e92a ("nfsd: move error choice for incorrect object types to version-specific code.")

2026-01-26gfs2: Do not cancel internal demote requestsAndreas Gruenbacher
Trying to change the state of a glock may result in a "conversion deadlock" error, indicating that the requested state transition would cause a deadlock. In this case, we unlock and retry the state change. It makes no sense to try canceling those unlock requests, but the current code is not aware of that. In addition, if a locking request is canceled shortly after it is made, the cancelation request can currently overtake the locking request. This may result in deadlocks. Fix both of these bugs by repurposing the GLF_PENDING_REPLY flag into a GLF_MAY_CANCEL flag which is set only when the current locking request can be canceled.

2026-01-24xfs: check for deleted cursors when revalidating two btreesDarrick J. Wong
The free space and inode btree repair functions will rebuild both btrees at the same time, after which it needs to evaluate both btrees to confirm that the corruptions are gone. However, Jiaming Zhang ran syzbot and produced a crash in the second xchk_allocbt call. His root-cause analysis is as follows (with minor corrections): In xrep_revalidate_allocbt(), xchk_allocbt() is called twice (first for BNOBT, second for CNTBT). The cause of this issue is that the first call nullified the cursor required by the second call. Let's first enter xrep_revalidate_allocbt() via following call chain: xfs_file_ioctl() -> xfs_ioc_scrubv_metadata() -> xfs_scrub_metadata() -> `sc->ops->repair_eval(sc)` -> xrep_revalidate_allocbt() xchk_allocbt() is called twice in this function. In the first call: /* Note that sc->sm->sm_type is XFS_SCRUB_TYPE_BNOPT now */ xchk_allocbt() -> xchk_btree() -> `bs->scrub_rec(bs, recp)` -> xchk_allocbt_rec() -> xchk_allocbt_xref() -> xchk_allocbt_xref_other() since sm_type is XFS_SCRUB_TYPE_BNOBT, pur is set to &sc->sa.cnt_cur. Kernel called xfs_alloc_get_rec() and returned -EFSCORRUPTED. Call chain: xfs_alloc_get_rec() -> xfs_btree_get_rec() -> xfs_btree_check_block() -> (XFS_IS_CORRUPT || XFS_TEST_ERROR), the former is false and the latter is true, return -EFSCORRUPTED. This should be caused by ioctl$XFS_IOC_ERROR_INJECTION I guess. Back to xchk_allocbt_xref_other(), after receiving -EFSCORRUPTED from xfs_alloc_get_rec(), kernel called xchk_should_check_xref(). In this function, *curpp (points to sc->sa.cnt_cur) is nullified. Back to xrep_revalidate_allocbt(), since sc->sa.cnt_cur has been nullified, it then triggered null-ptr-deref via xchk_allocbt() (second call) -> xchk_btree(). So. The bnobt revalidation failed on a cross-reference attempt, so we deleted the cntbt cursor, and then crashed when we tried to revalidate the cntbt. Therefore, check for a null cntbt cursor before that revalidation, and mark the repair incomplete. Also we can ignore the second tree entirely if the first tree was rebuilt but is already corrupt. Apply the same fix to xrep_revalidate_iallocbt because it has the same problem.

2026-01-23et4: allow zeroout when doing written to unwritten splitOjaswin Mujoo
Currently, when we are doing an extent split and convert operation of written to unwritten extent (example, as done by ZERO_RANGE), we don't allow the zeroout fallback in case the extent tree manipulation fails. This is mostly because zeroout might take unsually long and the fact that this code path is more tolerant to failures than endio. Since we have zeroout machinery in place, we might as well use it hence lift this restriction. To mitigate zeroout taking too long respect the max zeroout limit here so that the operation finishes relatively fast. Also, add kunit tests for this case.

2026-01-23ext4: refactor split and convert extentsOjaswin Mujoo
ext4_split_convert_extents() has been historically prone to subtle bugs and inconsistent behavior due to the way all the various flags interact with the extent split and conversion process. For example, callers like ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_endio() and convert_initialized_extents() needed to open code extent conversion despite passing CONVERT or CONVERT_UNWRITTEN flags because ext4_split_convert_extents() wasn't performing the conversion. Hence, refactor ext4_split_convert_extents() to clearly enforce the semantics of each flag. The major changes here are: * Clearly separate the split and convert process: * ext4_split_extent() and ext4_split_extent_at() are now only responsible to perform the split. * ext4_split_convert_extents() is now responsible to perform extent conversion after calling ext4_split_extent() for splitting. * This helps get rid of all the MARK_UNWRIT* flags. * Clearly enforce the semantics of flags passed to ext4_split_convert_extents(): * EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT: Will convert the split extent to written * EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT_UNWRITTEN: Will convert the split extent to unwritten * Modify all callers to enforce the above semantics. * Use ext4_split_convert_extents() instead of ext4_split_extents() in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() for uniformity. * Now that ext4_split_convert_extents() is handling caching to es, we dont need to do it in ext4_split_extent_zeroout(). * Cleanup all callers open coding the conversion logic. Further, modify kuniy tests to pass flags based on the new semantics. >From an end user point of view, we should not see any changes in behavior of ext4.

2026-01-23ext4: refactor zeroout path and handle all casesOjaswin Mujoo
Currently, zeroout is used as a fallback in case we fail to split/convert extents in the "traditional" modify-the-extent-tree way. This is essential to mitigate failures in critical paths like extent splitting during endio. However, the logic is very messy and not easy to follow. Further, the fragile use of various flags has made it prone to errors. Refactor zeroout out logic by moving it up to ext4_split_extents(). Further, zeroout correctly based on the type of conversion we want, ie: - unwritten to written: Zeroout everything around the mapped range. - written to unwritten: Zeroout only the mapped range.

Hence, modify it to accept flags from the caller and to pass the flags on to other extent manipulation functions it calls. This makes sure the NOCACHE flag is respected throughout the code path. Also, we no longer explicitly pass CONVERT_UNWRITTEN as the caller takes care of this.

2026-01-23ext4: kunit tests for extent splitting and conversionOjaswin Mujoo
Add multiple KUnit tests to test various permutations of extent splitting and conversion. We test the following cases: 1. Split of unwritten extent into 2 parts and convert 1 part to written 2. Split of unwritten extent into 3 parts and convert 1 part to written 3. Split of written extent into 2 parts and convert 1 part to unwritten 4. Split of written extent into 3 parts and convert 1 part to unwritten 5. Zeroout fallback for all the above cases except 3-4 because zeroout is not supported for written to unwritten splits The main function we test here is ext4_split_convert_extents(). Currently some of the tests are failing due to issues in implementation. All failures are mitigated at other layers in ext4 [1] but still point out the mismatch in expectation of what the caller wants vs what the function does. The aim is to eventually fix all the failures we see here. More detailed implementation notes can be found in the topmost commit in the test file. [1] for example, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT doesn't really convert the split extent to written, but rather the callers end up doing the conversion.

2026-01-23xfs: get rid of the xchk_xfile_*_descr callsDarrick J. Wong
The xchk_xfile_*_descr macros call kasprintf, which can fail to allocate memory if the formatted string is larger than 16 bytes (or whatever the nofail guarantees are nowadays). Some of them could easily exceed that, and Jiaming Zhang found a few places where that can happen with syzbot. The descriptions are debugging aids and aren't required to be unique, so let's just pass in static strings and eliminate this path to failure. Note this patch touches a number of commits, most of which were merged between 6.6 and 6.14.

2026-01-23xfs: add a method to replace shortform attrsDarrick J. Wong
If we're trying to replace an xattr in a shortform attr structure and the old entry fits the new entry, we can just memcpy and exit without having to delete, compact, and re-add the entry (or worse use the attr intent machinery). For parent pointers this only advantages renaming where the filename length stays the same (e.g. mv autoexec.bat scandisk.exe) but for regular xattrs it might be useful for updating security labels and the like.

2026-01-23xfs: speed up parent pointer operations when possibleDarrick J. Wong
After a recent fsmark benchmarking run, I observed that the overhead of parent pointers on file creation and deletion can be a bit high. On a machine with 20 CPUs, 128G of memory, and an NVME SSD capable of pushing 750000iops, I see the following results: $ mkfs.xfs -f -l logdev=/dev/nvme1n1,size=1g /dev/nvme0n1 -n parent=0 meta-data=/dev/nvme0n1 isize=512 agcount=40, agsize=9767586 blks = sectsz=4096 attr=2, projid32bit=1 = crc=1 finobt=1, sparse=1, rmapbt=1 = reflink=1 bigtime=1 inobtcount=1 nrext64=1 = exchange=0 metadir=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=390703440, imaxpct=5 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0, ftype=1, parent=0 log =/dev/nvme1n1 bsize=4096 blocks=262144, version=2 = sectsz=4096 sunit=1 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 = rgcount=0 rgsize=0 extents = zoned=0 start=0 reserved=0 So we created 40 AGs, one per CPU. Now we create 40 directories and run fsmark: $ time fs_mark -D 10000 -S 0 -n 100000 -s 0 -L 8 -d ... # Version 3.3, 40 thread(s) starting at Wed Dec 10 14:22:07 2025 # Sync method: NO SYNC: Test does not issue sync() or fsync() calls. # Directories: Time based hash between directories across 10000 subdirectories with 180 seconds per subdirectory. # File names: 40 bytes long, (16 initial bytes of time stamp with 24 random bytes at end of name) # Files info: size 0 bytes, written with an IO size of 16384 bytes per write # App overhead is time in microseconds spent in the test not doing file writing related system calls. parent=0 parent=1 ================== ================== real 0m57.573s real 1m2.934s user 3m53.578s user 3m53.508s sys 19m44.440s sys 25m14.810s $ time rm -rf ... parent=0 parent=1 ================== ================== real 0m59.649s real 1m12.505s user 0m41.196s user 0m47.489s sys 13m9.566s sys 20m33.844s Parent pointers increase the system time by 28% overhead to create 32 million files that are totally empty. Removing them incurs a system time increase of 56%. Wall time increases by 9% and 22%. For most filesystems, each file tends to have a single owner and not that many xattrs. If the xattr structure is shortform, then all xattr changes are logged with the inode and do not require the the xattr intent mechanism to persist the parent pointer. Therefore, we can speed up parent pointer operations by calling the shortform xattr functions directly if the child's xattr is in short format. Now the overhead looks like: $ time fs_mark -D 10000 -S 0 -n 100000 -s 0 -L 8 -d ... parent=0 parent=1 ================== ================== real 0m58.030s real 1m0.983s user 3m54.141s user 3m53.758s sys 19m57.003s sys 21m30.605s $ time rm -rf ... parent=0 parent=1 ================== ================== real 0m58.911s real 1m4.420s user 0m41.329s user 0m45.169s sys 13m27.857s sys 15m58.564s Now parent pointers only increase the system time by 8% for creation and 19% for deletion. Wall time increases by 5% and 9% now. Close the performance gap by creating helpers for the attr set, remove, and replace operations that will try to make direct shortform updates, and fall back to the attr intent machinery if that doesn't work. This works for regular xattrs and for parent pointers. Signed-off-by: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

2026-01-23xfs: fix freemap adjustments when adding xattrs to leaf blocksDarrick J. Wong
xfs/592 and xfs/794 both trip this assertion in the leaf block freemap adjustment code after ~20 minutes of running on my test VMs: ASSERT(ichdr->firstused >= ichdr->count * sizeof(xfs_attr_leaf_entry_t) + xfs_attr3_leaf_hdr_size(leaf)); Upon enabling quite a lot more debugging code, I narrowed this down to fsstress trying to set a local extended attribute with namelen=3 and valuelen=71. This results in an entry size of 80 bytes. At the start of xfs_attr3_leaf_add_work, the freemap looks like this: i 0 base 448 size 0 rhs 448 count 46 i 1 base 388 size 132 rhs 448 count 46 i 2 base 2120 size 4 rhs 448 count 46 firstused = 520 where "rhs" is the first byte past the end of the leaf entry array. This is inconsistent -- the entries array ends at byte 448, but freemap[1] says there's free space starting at byte 388! By the end of the function, the freemap is in worse shape: i 0 base 456 size 0 rhs 456 count 47 i 1 base 388 size 52 rhs 456 count 47 i 2 base 2120 size 4 rhs 456 count 47 firstused = 440 Important note: 388 is not aligned with the entries array element size of 8 bytes. Based on the incorrect freemap, the name area starts at byte 440, which is below the end of the entries array! That's why the assertion triggers and the filesystem shuts down. How did we end up here? First, recall from the previous patch that the freemap array in an xattr leaf block is not intended to be a comprehensive map of all free space in the leaf block. In other words, it's perfectly legal to have a leaf block with: * 376 bytes in use by the entries array * freemap[0] has [base = 376, size = 8] * freemap[1] has [base = 388, size = 1500] * the space between 376 and 388 is free, but the freemap stopped tracking that some time ago If we add one xattr, the entries array grows to 384 bytes, and freemap[0] becomes [base = 384, size = 0]. So far, so good. But if we add a second xattr, the entries array grows to 392 bytes, and freemap[0] gets pushed up to [base = 392, size = 0]. This is bad, because freemap[1] hasn't been updated, and now the entries array and the free space claim the same space. The fix here is to adjust all freemap entries so that none of them collide with the entries array. Note that this fix relies on commit 2a2b5932db6758 ("xfs: fix attr leaf header freemap.size underflow") and the previous patch that resets zero length freemap entries to have base = 0.

2026-01-23xfs: delete attr leaf freemap entries when emptyDarrick J. Wong
Back in commit 2a2b5932db6758 ("xfs: fix attr leaf header freemap.size underflow"), Brian Foster observed that it's possible for a small freemap at the end of the end of the xattr entries array to experience a size underflow when subtracting the space consumed by an expansion of the entries array. There are only three freemap entries, which means that it is not a complete index of all free space in the leaf block. This code can leave behind a zero-length freemap entry with a nonzero base. Subsequent setxattr operations can increase the base up to the point that it overlaps with another freemap entry. This isn't in and of itself a problem because the code in _leaf_add that finds free space ignores any freemap entry with zero size. However, there's another bug in the freemap update code in _leaf_add, which is that it fails to update a freemap entry that begins midway through the xattr entry that was just appended to the array. That can result in the freemap containing two entries with the same base but different sizes (0 for the "pushed-up" entry, nonzero for the entry that's actually tracking free space). A subsequent _leaf_add can then allocate xattr namevalue entries on top of the entries array, leading to data loss. But fixing that is for later. For now, eliminate the possibility of confusion by zeroing out the base of any freemap entry that has zero size. Because the freemap is not intended to be a complete index of free space, a subsequent failure to find any free space for a new xattr will trigger block compaction, which regenerates the freemap. It looks like this bug has been in the codebase for quite a long time. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v2.6.12 Fixes: 1da177e4c3f415 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: "Darrick J.

2026-01-23fsnotify: Shutdown fsnotify before destroying sb's dcacheJan Kara
Currently fsnotify_sb_delete() was called after we have evicted superblock's dcache and inode cache. This was done mainly so that we iterate as few inodes as possible when removing inode marks. However, as Jakub reported, this is problematic because for some filesystems encoding of file handles uses sb->s_root which gets cleared as part of dcache eviction. And either delayed fsnotify events or reading fdinfo for fsnotify group with marks on fs being unmounted may trigger encoding of file handles during unmount. So move shutdown of fsnotify subsystem before shrinking of dcache.
