2025-09-30nfs/localio: avoid issuing misaligned IO using O_DIRECTMike Snitzer
Add nfsd_file_dio_alignment and use it to avoid issuing misaligned IO using O_DIRECT. Any misaligned DIO falls back to using buffered IO. Because misaligned DIO is now handled safely, remove the nfs modparam 'localio_O_DIRECT_semantics' that was added to require users opt-in to the requirement that all O_DIRECT be properly DIO-aligned. Also, introduce nfs_iov_iter_aligned_bvec() which is a variant of iov_iter_aligned_bvec() that also verifies the offset associated with an iov_iter is DIO-aligned. NOTE: in a parallel effort, iov_iter_aligned_bvec() is being removed along with iov_iter_is_aligned(). Lastly, add pr_info_ratelimited if underlying filesystem returns -EINVAL because it was made to try O_DIRECT for IO that is not DIO-aligned (shouldn't happen, so its best to be louder if it does).

2025-09-30KVM: Export KVM-internal symbols for sub-modules onlySean Christopherson
Rework the vast majority of KVM's exports to expose symbols only to KVM submodules, i.e. to x86's kvm-{amd,intel}.ko and PPC's kvm-{pr,hv}.ko. With few exceptions, KVM's exported APIs are intended (and safe) for KVM- internal usage only. Keep kvm_get_kvm(), kvm_get_kvm_safe(), and kvm_put_kvm() as normal exports, as they are needed by VFIO, and are generally safe for external usage (though ideally even the get/put APIs would be KVM-internal, and VFIO would pin a VM by grabbing a reference to its associated file). Implement a framework in kvm_types.h in anticipation of providing a macro to restrict KVM-specific kernel exports, i.e. to provide symbol exports for KVM if and only if KVM is built as one or more modules.

HEAD KVM SEV-SNP CipherText Hiding support for 6.18 Add support for SEV-SNP's CipherText Hiding, an opt-in feature that prevents unauthorized CPU accesses from reading the ciphertext of SNP guest private memory, e.g. to attempt an offline attack. Instead of ciphertext, the CPU will always read back all FFs when CipherText Hiding is enabled. Add new module parameter to the KVM module to enable CipherText Hiding and control the number of ASIDs that can be used for VMs with CipherText Hiding, which is in effect the number of SNP VMs. When CipherText Hiding is enabled, the shared SEV-ES/SEV-SNP ASID space is split into separate ranges for SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests, i.e. ASIDs that can be used for CipherText Hiding cannot be used to run SEV-ES guests.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD KVM/arm64 updates for 6.18 - Add support for FF-A 1.2 as the secure memory conduit for pKVM, allowing more registers to be used as part of the message payload. - Change the way pKVM allocates its VM handles, making sure that the privileged hypervisor is never tricked into using uninitialised data. - Speed up MMIO range registration by avoiding unnecessary RCU synchronisation, which results in VMs starting much quicker. - Add the dump of the instruction stream when panic-ing in the EL2 payload, just like the rest of the kernel has always done. This will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups. - Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing to translate a stage-1 walk. - Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform. - Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at least correct. - Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host migration. - Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling NV testing. - Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE fix, just in time for the removal of the feature.

2025-09-30bonding: fix xfrm offload feature setup on active-backup modeHangbin Liu
The active-backup bonding mode supports XFRM ESP offload. However, when a bond is added using command like `ip link add bond0 type bond mode 1 miimon 100`, the `ethtool -k` command shows that the XFRM ESP offload is disabled. This occurs because, in bond_newlink(), we change bond link first and register bond device later. So the XFRM feature update in bond_option_mode_set() is not called as the bond device is not yet registered, leading to the offload feature not being set successfully. To resolve this issue, we can modify the code order in bond_newlink() to ensure that the bond device is registered first before changing the bond link parameters. This change will allow the XFRM ESP offload feature to be correctly enabled.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "There's good stuff across the board, including some nice mm improvements for CPUs with the 'noabort' BBML2 feature and a clever patch to allow ptdump to play nicely with block mappings in the vmalloc area. Confidential computing: - Add support for accepting secrets from firmware (e.g. ACPI CCEL) and mapping them with appropriate attributes. CPU features: - Advertise atomic floating-point instructions to userspace - Extend Spectre workarounds to cover additional Arm CPU variants - Extend list of CPUs that support break-before-make level 2 and guarantee not to generate TLB conflict aborts for changes of mapping granularity (BBML2_NOABORT) - Add GCS support to our uprobes implementation. Documentation: - Remove bogus SME documentation concerning register state when entering/exiting streaming mode. Entry code: - Switch over to the generic IRQ entry code (GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY) - Micro-optimise syscall entry path with a compiler branch hint. Memory management: - Enable huge mappings in vmalloc space even when kernel page-table dumping is enabled - Tidy up the types used in our early MMU setup code - Rework rodata= for closer parity with the behaviour on x86 - For CPUs implementing BBML2_NOABORT, utilise block mappings in the linear map even when rodata= applies to virtual aliases - Don't re-allocate the virtual region between '_text' and '_stext', as doing so confused tools parsing /proc/vmcore. Miscellaneous: - Clean-up Kconfig menuconfig text for architecture features - Avoid redundant bitmap_empty() during determination of supported SME vector lengths - Re-enable warnings when building the 32-bit vDSO object - Avoid breaking our eggs at the wrong end. Perf and PMUs: - Support for v3 of the Hisilicon L3C PMU - Support for Hisilicon's MN and NoC PMUs - Support for Fujitsu's Uncore PMU - Support for SPE's extended event filtering feature - Preparatory work to enable data source filtering in SPE - Support for multiple lanes in the DWC PCIe PMU - Support for i.MX94 in the IMX DDR PMU driver - MAINTAINERS update (Thank you, Yicong) - Minor driver fixes (PERF_IDX2OFF() overflow, CMN register offsets).

2025-09-29Revert "net: group sk_backlog and sk_receive_queue"Eric Dumazet
This reverts commit 4effb335b5dab08cb6e2c38d038910f8b527cfc9. This was a benefit for UDP flood case, which was later greatly improved with commits 6471658dc66c ("udp: use skb_attempt_defer_free()") and b650bf0977d3 ("udp: remove busylock and add per NUMA queues"). Apparently blamed commit added a regression for RAW sockets, possibly because they do not use the dual RX queue strategy that UDP has. sock_queue_rcv_skb_reason() and RAW recvmsg() compete for sk_receive_buf and sk_rmem_alloc changes, and them being in the same cache line reduce performance.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs writeback updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains work adressing lockups reported by users when a systemd unit reading lots of files from a filesystem mounted with the lazytime mount option exits. With the lazytime mount option enabled we can be switching many dirty inodes on cgroup exit to the parent cgroup. The numbers observed in practice when systemd slice of a large cron job exits can easily reach hundreds of thousands or millions. The logic in inode_do_switch_wbs() which sorts the inode into appropriate place in b_dirty list of the target wb however has linear complexity in the number of dirty inodes thus overall time complexity of switching all the inodes is quadratic leading to workers being pegged for hours consuming 100% of the CPU and switching inodes to the parent wb. Simple reproducer of the issue: FILES=10000 # Filesystem mounted with lazytime mount option MNT=/mnt/ echo "Creating files and switching timestamps" for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do mkdir $MNT/dir$j for (( i = 0; i < $FILES; i++ )); do echo "foo" >$MNT/dir$j/file$i done touch -a -t 202501010000 $MNT/dir$j/file* done wait echo "Syncing and flushing" sync echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches echo "Reading all files from a cgroup" mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1 || exit echo $$ >/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/mycg1/cgroup.procs || exit for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do cat /mnt/dir$j/file* >/dev/null & done wait echo "Switching wbs" # Now rmdir the cgroup after the script exits This can be solved by: - Avoiding contention on the wb->list_lock when switching inodes by running a single work item per wb and managing a queue of items switching to the wb - Allowing rescheduling when switching inodes over to a different cgroup to avoid softlockups - Maintaining the b_dirty list ordering instead of sorting it" * tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: writeback: Add tracepoint to track pending inode switches writeback: Avoid excessively long inode switching times writeback: Avoid softlockup when switching many inodes writeback: Avoid contention on wb->list_lock when switching inodes

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace infrastructure of the kernel. Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so on. We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up. The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy. The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum() and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about. Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do for e.g., files. In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system call. Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the concept to all other namespace types. The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree works completely locklessly. This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct mnt_namespace itself. There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very useful. This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis. As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive, meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle. Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode the file handle. Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate /proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the namespace based on a pidfd already. It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any resources and to compare them trivially. Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant namespace. The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles" * tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (65 commits) ns: drop assert ns: move ns type into struct ns_common nstree: make struct ns_tree private ns: add ns_debug() ns: simplify ns_common_init() further cgroup: add missing ns_common include ns: use inode initializer for initial namespaces selftests/namespaces: verify initial namespace inode numbers ns: rename to __ns_ref nsfs: port to ns_ref_*() helpers net: port to ns_ref_*() helpers uts: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipv4: use check_net() net: use check_net() net-sysfs: use check_net() user: port to ns_ref_*() helpers time: port to ns_ref_*() helpers pid: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ipc: port to ns_ref_*() helpers cgroup: port to ns_ref_*() helpers ...
