PCI/bwctrl: Disable BW controller on Intel P45 using a quirk
The commit 665745f27487 ("PCI/bwctrl: Re-add BW notification portdrv as

As of PCIe r7.0, the Root Status register contains a single writeable bit

PCI/AER: Clear stale errors on reporting agents upon probe
Correctable and Uncorrectable Error Status Registers on reporting agents
are cleared upon PCI device enumeration in pci_aer_init() to flush past
events. They're cleared again when an error is handled by the AER driver.
If an agent reports a new error after pci_aer_init() and before the AER
driver has probed on the corresponding Root Port or Root Complex Event
Collector, that error is not handled by the AER driver: It clears the
Root Error Status Register on probe, but neglects to re-clear the
Correctable and Uncorrectable Error Status Registers on reporting agents.
The error will eventually be reported when another error occurs. Which
is irritating because to an end user it appears as if the earlier error
has just happened.
Amend the AER driver to clear stale errors on reporting agents upon probe.
Skip reporting agents which have not invoked pci_aer_init() yet to avoid
using an uninitialized pdev->aer_cap. They're recognizable by the error
bits in the Device Control register still being clear.
Reporting agents may execute pci_aer_init() after the AER driver has
probed, particularly when devices are hotplugged or removed/rescanned via
sysfs. For this reason, it continues to be necessary that pci_aer_init()
clears Correctable and Uncorrectable Error Status Registers.

PCI/IOV: Fix race between SR-IOV enable/disable and hotplug
Commit 05703271c3cd ("PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when
enabling/disabling SR-IOV") tried to fix a race between the VF removal
inside sriov_del_vfs() and concurrent hot unplug by taking the PCI
rescan/remove lock in sriov_del_vfs(). Similarly the PCI rescan/remove lock
was also taken in sriov_add_vfs() to protect addition of VFs.
This approach however causes deadlock on trying to remove PFs with SR-IOV
enabled because PFs disable SR-IOV during removal and this removal happens
under the PCI rescan/remove lock. So the original fix had to be reverted.
Instead of taking the PCI rescan/remove lock in sriov_add_vfs() and
sriov_del_vfs(), fix the race that occurs with SR-IOV enable and disable vs
hotplug higher up in the callchain by taking the lock in
sriov_numvfs_store() before calling into the driver's sriov_configure()
callback.

PCI/ACPI: Restrict program_hpx_type2() to AER bits
Previously program_hpx_type2() applied PCIe settings unconditionally,
which could incorrectly change bits like Extended Tag Field Enable and
Enable Relaxed Ordering.
When _HPX was added to ACPI r3.0, the intent of the PCIe Setting
Record (Type 2) in sec 6.2.7.3 was to configure AER registers when the
OS does not own the AER Capability:
The PCI Express setting record contains ... [the AER] Uncorrectable
Error Mask, Uncorrectable Error Severity, Correctable Error Mask
... to be used when configuring registers in the Advanced Error
Reporting Extended Capability Structure ...
OSPM [1] will only evaluate _HPX with Setting Record – Type 2 if
OSPM is not controlling the PCI Express Advanced Error Reporting
capability.
ACPI r3.0b, sec 6.2.7.3, added more AER registers, including registers
in the PCIe Capability with AER-related bits, and the restriction that
the OS use this only when it owns PCIe native hotplug:
... when configuring PCI Express registers in the Advanced Error
Reporting Extended Capability Structure *or PCI Express Capability
Structure* ...
An OS that has assumed ownership of native hot plug but does not
... have ownership of the AER register set must use ... the Type 2
record to program the AER registers ...
However, since the Type 2 record also includes register bits that
have functions other than AER, the OS must ignore values ... that
are not applicable.
Restrict program_hpx_type2() to only the intended purpose:
- Apply settings only when OS owns PCIe native hotplug but not AER,
- Only touch the AER-related bits (Error Reporting Enables) in Device
Control
- Don't touch Link Control at all, since nothing there seems AER-related,
but log _HPX settings for debugging purposes
Note that Read Completion Boundary is now configured elsewhere, since it is
unrelated to _HPX.

PCI: Initialize RCB from pci_configure_device()
Commit e42010d8207f ("PCI: Set Read Completion Boundary to 128 iff Root
Port supports it (_HPX)") worked around a bogus _HPX type 2 record, which
caused program_hpx_type2() to set the RCB in an endpoint even though the
Root Port did not have the RCB bit set.
e42010d8207f fixed that by setting the RCB in the endpoint only when it was
set in the Root Port.
In retrospect, program_hpx_type2() is intended for AER-related settings,
and the RCB should be configured elsewhere so it doesn't depend on the
presence or contents of an _HPX record.
Explicitly program the RCB from pci_configure_device() so it matches the
Root Port's RCB. The Root Port may not be visible to virtualized guests;
in that case, leave RCB alone.

Some devices do not handle 8-bit Tags as Completers, so add a quirk for

PCI/P2PDMA: Reset page reference count when page mapping fails
When mapping a p2pdma page the page reference count is initialised to 1
prior to calling vm_insert_page(). This is to avoid vm_insert_page()
warning if the page refcount is zero. Prior to setting the page count there
is a check to ensure the page is currently free (ie. has a zero reference
count).
However vm_insert_page() can fail. In this case the pages are freed back to
the genalloc pool, but that does not reset the page refcount. So a future
allocation of the same page will see the elevated page refcount from the
previous set_page_count() call triggering the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE checking
that the page is free.
Fix this by resetting the page refcount to zero using set_page_count().
Note that put_page() is not used because that would result in freeing the
page twice due to implicitly calling p2pdma_folio_free().

The asynchronous creation of sub-groups by a delayed work could lead to a

The crash can be easily reproduced with the following commands:

perf/x86/intel: Fix NULL event dereference crash in handle_pmi_common()
handle_pmi_common() may observe an active bit set in cpuc->active_mask
while the corresponding cpuc->events[] entry has already been cleared,
which leads to a NULL pointer dereference.
This can happen when interrupt throttling stops all events in a group
while PEBS processing is still in progress. perf_event_overflow() can
trigger perf_event_throttle_group(), which stops the group and clears
the cpuc->events[] entry, but the active bit may still be set when
handle_pmi_common() iterates over the events.
The following recent fix:
7e772a93eb61 ("perf/x86: Fix NULL event access and potential PEBS record loss")
moved the cpuc->events[] clearing from x86_pmu_stop() to x86_pmu_del() and
relied on cpuc->active_mask/pebs_enabled checks. However,
handle_pmi_common() can still encounter a NULL cpuc->events[] entry
despite the active bit being set.
Add an explicit NULL check on the event pointer before using it,
to cover this legitimate scenario and avoid the NULL dereference crash.

ocfs2: invalidate inode if i_mode is zero after block read
A panic occurs in ocfs2_unlink due to WARN_ON(inode->i_nlink == 0) when
handling a corrupted inode with i_mode=0 and i_nlink=0 in memory.
This "zombie" inode is created because ocfs2_read_locked_inode proceeds
even after ocfs2_validate_inode_block successfully validates a block that
structurally looks okay (passes checksum, signature etc.) but contains
semantically invalid data (specifically i_mode=0). The current validation
function doesn't check for i_mode being zero.
This results in an in-memory inode with i_mode=0 being added to the VFS
cache, which later triggers the panic during unlink.
Prevent this by adding an explicit check for (i_mode == 0, i_nlink == 0,
non-orphan) within ocfs2_validate_inode_block. If the check is true,
return -EFSCORRUPTED to signal corruption. This causes the caller

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.
Use the new TRAILING_OVERLAP() helper to fix the following warning:
fs/ocfs2/xattr.c:52:41: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM) and a
set of MEMBERS that would otherwise follow it.
This overlays the trailing MEMBER struct ocfs2_extent_rec er; onto the FAM
struct ocfs2_xattr_value_root::xr_list.l_recs[], while keeping the FAM and
the start of MEMBER aligned.
The static_assert() ensures this alignment remains, and it's intentionally
placed inmediately after the related structure --no blank line in between.

ocfs2: convert remaining read-only checks to ocfs2_emergency_state
Now that the centralized `ocfs2_emergency_state()` helper is available,
refactor remaining filesystem-wide checks for `ocfs2_is_soft_readonly` and
`ocfs2_is_hard_readonly` to use this new function.
To ensure strict consistency with the previous behavior and guarantee no
functional changes, the call sites continue to explicitly return -EROFS
when the emergency state is detected. This standardizes the check logic
while preserving the existing error handling flow.

ocfs2: add ocfs2_emergency_state helper and apply to setattr
Patch series "ocfs2: Refactor read-only checks to use
ocfs2_emergency_state", v4.
Following the fix for the `make_bad_inode` validation failure (syzbot ID: b93b65ee321c97861072), this separate series introduces a new helper
function, `ocfs2_emergency_state()`, to improve and centralize read-only
and error state checking.
This is modeled after the `ext4_emergency_state()` pattern, providing a
single, unified location for checking all filesystem-level emergency
conditions. This makes the code cleaner and ensures that any future
checks (e.g., for fatal error states) can be added in one place.
This series is structured as follows:
1. The first patch introduces the `ocfs2_emergency_state()` helper
(currently checking for -EROFS) and applies it to `ocfs2_setattr`
to provide a "fail-fast" mechanism, as suggested by Albin
Babu Varghese.
2. The second patch completes the refactoring by converting all
remaining read-only checks throughout OCFS2 to use this new helper.
This patch (of 2):
To centralize error checking, follow the pattern of other filesystems like
ext4 (which uses `ext4_emergency_state()`), and prepare for future
enhancements, this patch introduces a new helper function:
`ocfs2_emergency_state()`.
The purpose of this helper is to provide a single, unified location for
checking all filesystem-level emergency conditions. In this initial
implementation, the function only checks for the existing hard and soft
read-only modes, returning -EROFS if either is set.
This provides a foundation where future checks (e.g., for fatal error
states returning -EIO, or shutdown states) can be easily added in one
place.
This patch also adds this new check to the beginning of `ocfs2_setattr()`.
This ensures that operations like `ftruncate` (which triggered the
original BUG) fail-fast with -EROFS when the filesystem is already in a
read-only state.

checkpatch: add uninitialized pointer with __free attribute check
Uinitialized pointers with __free attribute can cause undefined behavior
as the memory randomly assigned to the pointer is freed automatically when
the pointer goes out of scope. add check in checkpatch to detect such
issues.
syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2_find_victim_chain() because the
`cl_next_free_rec` field of the allocation chain list (next free slot in
the chain list) is 0, triggring the BUG_ON(!cl->cl_next_free_rec)
condition in ocfs2_find_victim_chain() and panicking the kernel.
To fix this, an if condition is introduced in ocfs2_claim_suballoc_bits(),
just before calling ocfs2_find_victim_chain(), the code block in it being
executed when either of the following conditions is true:
1. `cl_next_free_rec` is equal to 0, indicating that there are no free
chains in the allocation chain list
2. `cl_next_free_rec` is greater than `cl_count` (the total number of
chains in the allocation chain list)
Either of them being true is indicative of the fact that there are no
chains left for usage.
This is addressed using ocfs2_error(), which prints
the error log for debugging purposes, rather than panicking the kernel.

liveupdate: luo_core: fix redundant bound check in luo_ioctl()
The kernel test robot reported a Smatch warning:
kernel/liveupdate/luo_core.c:402 luo_ioctl() warn: unsigned 'nr' is
never less than zero.
This occurs because 'nr' is unsigned and LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE is currently
defined as 0, making the check (nr < LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE) always false.
Remove the explicit lower bound check. The logic remains correct because
'nr' is unsigned; if nr is less than LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE, the expression
(nr - LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE) will wrap around to a large positive value.
This will inevitably be larger than ARRAY_SIZE(luo_ioctl_ops) and be
caught by the upper bound check.

ocfs2: validate inline xattr size and entry count in ocfs2_xattr_ibody_list
Add comprehensive validation of inline xattr metadata in
ocfs2_xattr_ibody_list() to prevent out-of-bounds access and
use-after-free bugs when processing corrupted inline xattrs.
The patch adds two critical validations:
1. Validates i_xattr_inline_size before use:
- Ensures it does not exceed block size
- Ensures it is at least large enough for xattr header
- Prevents pointer arithmetic with corrupted size values that could
point outside the inode block
2. Validates xattr entry count (xh_count):
- Calculates maximum entries that can fit in the inline space
- Rejects counts that exceed this limit
- Prevents out-of-bounds array access in subsequent code
Without these checks, a corrupted filesystem with invalid inline xattr
metadata can cause the code to access memory beyond the allocated space.
For example:
- A corrupted i_xattr_inline_size of 0 would cause header pointer
calculation to point past the end of the block
- A corrupted xh_count of 22 with inline_size of 256 would cause
array access 7 entries beyond the 15 that actually fit (the syzbot
reproducer used xh_count of 20041), leading to use-after-free when
accessing freed memory pages
The validation uses the correct inline_size (from di->i_xattr_inline_size)
rather than block size, ensuring accurate bounds checking for inline
xattrs specifically.

dm-pcache: advance slot index before writing slot
In dm-pcache, in order to ensure crash-consistency, a dual-copy scheme
is used to alternately update metadata, and there is a slot index that

implementation writes directly to the current slot indexed by slot
index, and then advances the slot — which ends up overwriting the

This patch fixes that behavior, preventing metadata from being
overwritten incorrectly.
