- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number
from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to
make it work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to
pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when
__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

Pull MSI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the [PCI] MSI subsystem:
- Add interrupt redirection infrastructure
Some PCI controllers use a single demultiplexing interrupt for the
MSI interrupts of subordinate devices.
This prevents setting the interrupt affinity of device interrupts,
which causes device interrupts to be delivered to a single CPU.
That obviously is counterproductive for multi-queue devices and
interrupt balancing.
To work around this limitation the new infrastructure installs a
dummy irq_set_affinity() callback which captures the affinity mask
and picks a redirection target CPU out of the mask.
When the PCI controller demultiplexes the interrupts it invokes a
new handling function in the core, which either runs the interrupt
handler in the context of the target CPU or delegates it to
irq_work on the target CPU.
- Utilize the interrupt redirection mechanism in the PCI DWC host
controller driver.
This allows affinity control for the subordinate device MSI
interrupts instead of being randomly executed on the CPU which runs
the demultiplex handler.
- Replace the binary 64-bit MSI flag with a DMA mask
Some PCI devices have PCI_MSI_FLAGS_64BIT in the MSI capability,
but implement less than 64 address bits. This breaks on platforms
where such a device is assigned an MSI address higher than what's
supported.
With the binary 64-bit flag there is no other choice than disabling
64-bit MSI support which leaves the device disfunctional.
By using a DMA mask the address limit of a device can be described
correctly which provides support for the above scenario.
- Make use of the DMA mask based address limit in the hda/intel and
radeon drivers to enable them on affected platforms
- The usual small cleanups and improvements"

- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of
preemption models from four to just two: 'full' and 'lazy' on
up-to-date architectures (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, riscv, s390,
x86).
None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.
The goal is to eventually remove cond_resched() and voluntary
preemption altogether.
RSEQ based 'scheduler time slice extension' support (Thomas Gleixner
and Peter Zijlstra):
This allows a thread to request a time slice extension when it enters
a critical section to avoid contention on a resource when the thread
is scheduled out inside of the critical section.
- Add fields and constants for time slice extension
- Provide static branch for time slice extensions
- Add statistics for time slice extensions
- Add prctl() to enable time slice extensions
- Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
- Implement syscall entry work for time slice extensions
- Implement time slice extension enforcement timer
- Reset slice extension when scheduled
- Implement rseq_grant_slice_extension()
- entry: Hook up rseq time slice extension
- selftests: Implement time slice extension test
- Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension
- Move slice_ext_nsec to debugfs
- Lower default slice extension
- selftests/rseq: Add rseq slice histogram script
Scheduler performance/scalability improvements:
- Update rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU, which
improves the scalability of various workloads (Shubhang Kaushik)
- Reorder fields in 'struct rq' for better caching (Blake Jones)
- Fair scheduler SMP NOHZ balancing code speedups (Shrikanth Hegde):
- Move checking for nohz cpus after time check
- Change likelyhood of nohz.nr_cpus
- Remove nohz.nr_cpus and use weight of cpumask instead
- Avoid false sharing for sched_clock_irqtime (Wangyang Guo)
- Cleanups (Yury Norov):
- Drop useless cpumask_empty() in find_energy_efficient_cpu()
- Simplify task_numa_find_cpu()
- Use cpumask_weight_and() in sched_balance_find_dst_group()
DL scheduler updates:
- Add a deadline server for sched_ext tasks (by Andrea Righi and Joel
Fernandes, with fixes by Peter Zijlstra)
RT scheduler updates:
- Skip currently executing CPU in rto_next_cpu() (Chen Jinghuang)
Entry code updates and performance improvements (Jinjie Ruan)
This is part of the scheduler tree in this cycle due to inter-
dependencies with the RSEQ based time slice extension work:
- Remove unused syscall argument from syscall_trace_enter()
- Rework syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() for architecture reuse
- Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()
- Inline syscall_exit_work() and syscall_trace_enter()
Scheduler core updates (Peter Zijlstra):
- Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
- Avoid rq->lock bouncing in sched_balance_newidle()
- Rename rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() =>
rcu_dereference_sched_domain()
- <linux/compiler_types.h>: Add the __signed_scalar_typeof() helper
Fair scheduler updates/refactoring (Peter Zijlstra and Ingo Molnar):
- Fold the sched_avg update
- Change rcu_dereference_check_sched_domain() to rcu-sched
- Switch to rcu_dereference_all()
- Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock()
- Limit hrtick work
- Join two #ifdef CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED blocks
- Clean up comments in 'struct cfs_rq'
- Separate se->vlag from se->vprot
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_load to cfs_rq::sum_weight
- Rename cfs_rq::avg_vruntime to ::sum_w_vruntime & helper functions
- Introduce and use the vruntime_cmp() and vruntime_op() wrappers for
wrapped-signed aritmetics
- Sort out 'blocked_load*' namespace noise
Scheduler debugging code updates:
- Export hidden tracepoints to modules (Gabriele Monaco)
- Convert copy_from_user() + kstrtouint() to kstrtouint_from_user()
(Fushuai Wang)
- Add assertions to QUEUE_CLASS (Peter Zijlstra)
- hrtimer: Fix tracing oddity (Thomas Gleixner)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
(Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
in distribution, admittedly)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )
- Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs
(Dapeng Mi)
Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been
a lot of changes, which center around three main areas:
- Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the
Off-Core Response (OCR) facility
- New PEBS data source encoding layout
- Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature
- Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond
Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen)
This centers around these four main areas:
- DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies,
separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH
die has its own discovery domain.
- Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table
portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON
discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery.
- DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR,
PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6.
- IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR.
- Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake,
and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake.
(Zide Chen)
- KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and
Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra,
Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang)
- Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs,
which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen)
- Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU
(aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing
Airmont code (Martin Schiller)
Performance enhancements:
- Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls
(Jan H. Schönherr)
- Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim)
User-space stack unwinding support:
- Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the
unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus)
Uprobes updates:
- Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming)
- Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao)
- Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov)

- s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap)
- x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni)

"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add '__rust_helper' annotation to the C helpers
This is needed to inline these helpers into Rust code
- Remove imports available via the prelude, treewide
This was possible thanks to a new lint in Klint that Gary has
implemented -- more Klint-related changes, including initial
upstream support, are coming
- Deduplicate pin-init flags
'kernel' crate:
- Add support for calling a function exactly once with the new
'do_once_lite!' macro (and 'OnceLite' type)
Based on this, add 'pr_*_once!' macros to print only once
- Add 'impl_flags!' macro for defining common bitflags operations:
- 'bug' module: support 'CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE_DETAILED' in the
'warn_on!' macro in order to show the evaluated condition alongside
the file path:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: [val == 1] linux/samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs:27 at ...
Modules linked in: rust_minimal(+)
- Add safety module with 'unsafe_precondition_assert!' macro,
currently a wrapper for 'debug_assert!', intended to mark the
validation of safety preconditions where possible:
/// # Safety
///
/// The caller must ensure that `index` is less than `N`.
unsafe fn set_unchecked(&mut self, index: usize, value: T) {
unsafe_precondition_assert!(
index < N,
"set_unchecked() requires index ({index}) < N ({N})"
);
...
}
- Add instructions to 'build_assert!' documentation requesting to
always inline functions when used with function arguments
- 'ptr' module: replace 'build_assert!' with a 'const' one
- 'rbtree' module: reduce unsafe blocks on pointer derefs
- 'transmute' module: implement 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes' for
inhabited ZSTs, and use it in Nova
- More treewide replacements of 'c_str!' with C string literals
'macros' crate:
- Rewrite most procedural macros ('module!', 'concat_idents!',
'#[export]', '#[vtable]', '#[kunit_tests]') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
This also allows to support '#[cfg]' properly in the '#[vtable]'
macro, to support arbitrary types in 'module!' macro (not just an
identifier) and to remove several custom parsing helpers we had
- Use 'quote!' from the recently vendored 'quote' library and remove
our custom one
The vendored one also allows us to avoid quoting '"' and '{}'
inside the template anymore and editors can now highlight it. In
addition, it improves robustness as it eliminates the need for
string quoting and escaping
- Use 'pin_init::zeroed()' to simplify KUnit code
'pin-init' crate:
- Rewrite all procedural macros ('[pin_]init!', '#[pin_data]',
'#[pinned_drop]', 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
- Implement 'InPlaceWrite' for '&'static mut MaybeUninit<T>'. This
enables users to use external allocation mechanisms such as
'static_cell'
- Support tuple structs in 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)'
- Support attributes on fields in '[pin_]init!' (such as
'#[cfg(...)]')
- Add a '#[default_error(<type>)]' attribute to '[pin_]init!' to
override the default error (when no '? Error' is specified)
- Support packed structs in '[pin_]init!' with
'#[disable_initialized_field_access]'
- Remove 'try_[pin_]init!' in favor of merging their feature with
'[pin_]init!'. Update the kernel's own 'try_[pin_]init!' macros to
use the 'default_error' attribute
- Correct 'T: Sized' bounds to 'T: ?Sized' in the generated
'PinnedDrop' check by '#[pin_data]'
Documentation:
- Conclude the Rust experiment

"Module signing:
- Remove SHA-1 support for signing modules.
SHA-1 is no longer considered secure for signatures due to
vulnerabilities that can lead to hash collisions. None of the major
distributions use SHA-1 anymore, and the kernel has defaulted to
SHA-512 since v6.11.
Note that loading SHA-1 signed modules is still supported.
- Update scripts/sign-file to use only the OpenSSL CMS API for
signing.
As SHA-1 support is gone, we can drop the legacy PKCS#7 API which
was limited to SHA-1. This also cleans up support for legacy
OpenSSL versions.
Cleanups and fixes:
- Use system_dfl_wq instead of the per-cpu system_wq following the
ongoing workqueue API refactoring.
- Avoid open-coded kvrealloc() in module decompression logic by using

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Add support for verifying ML-DSA signatures.
ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) is a
recently-standardized post-quantum (quantum-resistant) signature
algorithm. It was known as Dilithium pre-standardization.
The first use case in the kernel will be module signing. But there
are also other users of RSA and ECDSA signatures in the kernel that
might want to upgrade to ML-DSA eventually.
- Improve the AES library:
- Make the AES key expansion and single block encryption and
decryption functions use the architecture-optimized AES code.
Enable these optimizations by default.
- Support preparing an AES key for encryption-only, using about
half as much memory as a bidirectional key.
- Replace the existing two generic implementations of AES with a
single one.
- Simplify how Adiantum message hashing is implemented. Remove the
"nhpoly1305" crypto_shash in favor of direct lib/crypto/ support for
NH hashing, and enable optimizations by default.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the
preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask)
against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug
events.
One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
the way.
Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset
isolated partitions.
The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
suggestion.
As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making
nohz_full= also mutable through cpuset in the future"

There are also a few updates of cpuidle governors, including two menu
governor fixes and some refinements of the teo governor, and a
MAINTAINERS update adding Christian Loehle as a cpuidle reviewer.
[Thanks for stepping up Christian!]
The most significant update related to system suspend and hibernation
is the one to stop freezing the PM runtime workqueue during system PM
transitions which allows some deadlocks to be avoided. There is also a
fix for possible concurrent bit field updates in the core device
suspend code and a few other minor fixes.
Apart from the above, several drivers are updated to discard the
return value of pm_runtime_put() which is going to be converted to a
void function as soon as everybody stops using its return value, PL4
support for Ice Lake is added to the Intel RAPL power capping driver,
and there are assorted cleanups, documentation fixes, and some
cpupower utility improvements.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This one is significantly larger than previous ACPI support pull
requests because several significant updates have coincided in it.
First, there is a routine ACPICA code update, to upstream version 20251212, but this time it covers new ACPI 6.6 material that has not
been covered yet. Among other things, it includes definitions of a few
new ACPI tables and updates of some others, like the GICv5 MADT
structures and ARM IORT IWB node definitions that are used for adding
GICv5 ACPI probing on ARM (that technically is IRQ subsystem material,
but it depends on the ACPICA changes, so it is included here). The
latter alone adds a few hundred lines of new code.
Second, there is an update of ACPI _OSC handling including a fix that
prevents failures from occurring in some corner cases due to careless
handling of _OSC error bits.
On top of that, the "system resource" ACPI device objects with the
PNP0C01 and PNP0C02 are now going to be handled by the ACPI core
device enumeration code instead of handing them over to the legacy PNP
system driver which causes device enumeration issues to occur. Some of
those issues have been worked around in device drivers and elsewhere
and those workarounds should not be necessary any more, so they are
going away.
Moreover, the time has come to convert all "core ACPI" device drivers
that were still using struct acpi_driver objects for device binding
into proper platform drivers that use struct platform_driver for this
purpose. These updates are accompanied by some requisite core ACPI
device enumeration code changes.
Next, there are ACPI APEI updates, including changes to avoid excess
overhead in the NMI handler and in SEA on the ARM side, changes to
unify ACPI-based HW error tracing and logging, and changes to prevent
APEI code from reaching out of its allocated memory.
There are also some ACPI power management updates, mostly related to
the ACPI cpuidle support in the processor driver, suspend-to-idle
handling on systems with ACPI support and to ACPI PM of devices.
In addition to the above, bugs are fixed and the code is cleaned up in
assorted places all over.
Specifics:
- Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream version 20251212
which includes the following changes:
* Add support for new ACPI table DTPR (Michal Camacho Romero)

* Add support for the Microsoft display mux _OSI string (Armin
Wolf)
* Add definitions for the IOVT ACPI table (Xianglai Li)
* Abort AML bytecode execution on AML_FATAL_OP (Armin Wolf)
* Include all fields in subtable type1 for PPTT (Ben Horgan)
* Add GICv5 MADT structures and Arm IORT IWB node definitions

added to ACPICA (Lorenzo Pieralisi)

backlights fail to resume after suspend (Jakob Riemenschneider)
- Add sysfs attribute cid for exposing _CID lists under ACPI device
objects (Rafael Wysocki)
- Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in all of the core ACPI sysfs

directly (Andy Shevchenko)
- Add JWIPC JVC9100 to irq1_level_low_skip_override[] to unbreak

buffer contains acknowledged feature bits (Rafael Wysocki)
- Clean up and rearrange \_SB._OSC handling for general platform
features and USB4 features to avoid code duplication and
unnecessary memory management overhead (Rafael Wysocki)
- Make the ACPI core device enumeration code handle PNP0C01 and
PNP0C02 ("system resource") device objects directly instead of
letting the legacy PNP system driver handle them to avoid device
enumeration issues on systems where PNP0C02 is present in the _CID

Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This
was all done by Christoph. In his words:
This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be
modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system
require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data
operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer
an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately
XFS.
The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is
because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the
infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS.
I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for
other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own
infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer,
so this should be useful there and could be wire up easily. In fact
the idea comes from patches by Qu that did this in btrfs.
This patch fixes all but one xfstests failures on T10 PI capable
devices (generic/095 seems to have issues with a mix of mmap and
splice still, I'm looking into that separately), and make qemu VMs
running Windows, or Linux with swap enabled fine on an XFS file on a
device using PI.
Performance numbers on my (not exactly state of the art) NVMe PI test
setup:
Sequential reads using io_uring, QD=16.
Bandwidth and CPU usage (usr/sys):
Note that the 64k read numbers look really odd to me for the baseline
zero copy case, but are reproducible over many repeated runs.
The bounce read numbers should further improve when moving the PI
validation to the file system and removing the double context switch,
which I have patches for that will sent out soon"

Pull io_uring bpf filters from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for both cBPF filters for io_uring, as well as task
inherited restrictions and filters.
seccomp and io_uring don't play along nicely, as most of the
interesting data to filter on resides somewhat out-of-band, in the
submission queue ring.
As a result, things like containers and systemd that apply seccomp
filters, can't filter io_uring operations.
That leaves them with just one choice if filtering is critical -
filter the actual io_uring_setup(2) system call to simply disallow
io_uring. That's rather unfortunate, and has limited us because of it.
io_uring already has some filtering support. It requires the ring to
be setup in a disabled state, and then a filter set can be applied.
This filter set is completely bi-modal - an opcode is either enabled
or it's not. Once a filter set is registered, the ring can be enabled.
This is very restrictive, and it's not useful at all to systemd or
containers which really want both broader and more specific control.
This first adds support for cBPF filters for opcodes, which enables
tighter control over what exactly a specific opcode may do. As
examples, specific support is added for IORING_OP_OPENAT/OPENAT2,
allowing filtering on resolve flags. And another example is added for
IORING_OP_SOCKET, allowing filtering on domain/type/protocol. These
are both common use cases. cBPF was chosen rather than eBPF, because
the latter is often restricted in containers as well.
These filters are run post the init phase of the request, which allows
filters to even dip into data that is being passed in struct in user
memory, as the init side of requests make that data stable by bringing
it into the kernel. This allows filtering without needing to copy this
data twice, or have filters etc know about the exact layout of the
user data. The filters get the already copied and sanitized data
passed.
On top of that support is added for per-task filters, meaning that any
ring created with a task that has a per-task filter will get those
filters applied when it's created. These filters are inherited across
fork as well. Once a filter has been registered, any further added
filters may only further restrict what operations are permitted.
Filters cannot change the return value of an operation, they can only
permit or deny it based on the contents"

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Clean up the IORING_SETUP_R_DISABLED and submitter task checking,
mostly just in preparation for relaxing the locking for SINGLE_ISSUER
in the future.
- Improve IOPOLL by using a doubly linked list to manage completions.
Previously it was singly listed, which meant that to complete request
N in the chain 0..N-1 had to have completed first. With a doubly
linked list we can complete whatever request completes in that order,
rather than need to wait for a consecutive range to be available.
This reduces latencies.
- Improve the restriction setup and checking. Mostly in preparation for
adding further features on top of that. Coming in a separate pull
request.
- Split out task_work and wait handling into separate files. These are
mostly nicely abstracted already, but still remained in the
io_uring.c file which is on the larger side.
- Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT in a few more spots, where appropriate.
- Ensure even the idle io-wq worker exits if a task no longer has any
rings open.
- Add support for a non-circular submission queue.
By default, the SQ ring keeps moving around, even if only a few
entries are used for each submission. This can be wasteful in terms
of cachelines.
If IORING_SETUP_SQ_REWIND is set for the ring when created, each
submission will start at offset 0 instead of where we last left off
doing submissions.

"In this cycle, inode page cache sharing among filesystems on the same

high-density hosts running tens of thousands of containers.
In addition, we fully isolate the EROFS core on-disk format from other
optional encoded layouts since the core on-disk part is designed to be
simple, effective, and secure. Users can use the core format to build
unique golden immutable images and import their filesystem trees
directly from raw block devices via DMA, page-mapped DAX devices,
and/or file-backed mounts without having to worry about unnecessary
intrinsic consistency issues found in other generic filesystems by
design. However, the full vision is still working in progress and will
spend more time to achieve final goals.
There are other improvements and bug fixes as usual, as listed below:
- Support inode page cache sharing among filesystems
- Formally separate optional encoded (aka compressed) inode layouts
(and the implementations) from the EROFS core on-disk aligned plain

"User visible changes, feature updates:
- when using block size > page size, enable direct IO
- fallback to buffered IO if the data profile has duplication,
workaround to avoid checksum mismatches on block group profiles
with redundancy, real direct IO is possible on single or RAID0
- redo export of zoned statistics, moved from sysfs to
/proc/pid/mountstats due to size limitations of the former
Experimental features:
- remove offload checksum tunable, intended to find best way to do it
but since we've switched to offload to thread for everything we
don't need it anymore
- initial support for remap-tree feature, a translation layer of
logical block addresses that allow changes without moving/rewriting
blocks to do eg. relocation, or other changes that require COW
Notable fixes:
- automatic removal of accidentally leftover chunks when
free-space-tree is enabled since mkfs.btrfs v6.16.1
- zoned mode:
- do not try to append to conventional zones when RAID is mixing
zoned and conventional drives
- fixup write pointers when mixing zoned and conventional on
DUP/RAID* profiles
- when using squota, relax deletion rules for qgroups with 0 members
to allow easier recovery from accounting bugs, also add more checks
to detect bad accounting
- fix periodic reclaim scanning, properly check boundary conditions
not to trigger it unexpectedly or miss the time to run it
- trim:
- continue after first error
- change reporting to the first detected error
- add more cancellation points
- reduce contention of big device lock that can block other
operations when there's lots of trimmed space
- when chunk allocation is forced (needs experimental build) fix

- adjust how and where transaction commit or abort are done and are
maybe not necessary
- minor compression optimization to skip single block ranges

"This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- statmount: accept fd as a parameter
Extend struct mnt_id_req with a file descriptor field and a new
STATMOUNT_BY_FD flag. When set, statmount() returns mount information
for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts
(unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)).
For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID
mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability
check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already
implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is
available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without
privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached
and detached mount cases.
- fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch)
Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new
mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that
handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including
legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and
associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains
untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are
cleaned up.
- mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree()
Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's
entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively
unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and
thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant
contention on the namespace semaphore.
OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like
OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a
detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted
on top of a clone of the real rootfs.
This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a
single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by
the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from
the copy to prevent cycles. Includes ~1000 lines of selftests"

"Add a completely catatonic minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs"
and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs.
Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs
contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile
switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot).
Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true
root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is
mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply:
without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already
handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back
to MS_MOVE only when that fails.
This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer
need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be
revealed by unmounting the covering mount.
nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked
SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root
directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount
other directories to hide their contents without any additional
protection needed.
We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll
hide it behind a boot option.
nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future. It will serve as a

Pull vfs error reporting updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to support generic I/O error reporting.
Filesystems currently have no standard mechanism for reporting
metadata corruption and file I/O errors to userspace via fsnotify.
Each filesystem (xfs, ext4, erofs, f2fs, etc.) privately defines
EFSCORRUPTED, and error reporting to fanotify is inconsistent or
absent entirely.
This introduces a generic fserror infrastructure built around struct
super_block that gives filesystems a standard way to queue metadata
and file I/O error reports for delivery to fsnotify.
Errors are queued via mempools and queue_work to avoid holding
filesystem locks in the notification path; unmount waits for pending
events to drain. A new super_operations::report_error callback lets
filesystem drivers respond to file I/O errors themselves (to be used
by an upcoming XFS self-healing patchset).
On the uapi side, EFSCORRUPTED and EUCLEAN are promoted from private
per-filesystem definitions to canonical errno.h values across all
architectures"

Pull vfs lease updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains updates for lease support to require filesystems to
explicitly opt-in to lease support
Currently kernel_setlease() falls through to generic_setlease() when a
a filesystem does not define ->setlease(), silently granting lease
support to every filesystem regardless of whether it is prepared for
it.
This is a poor default: most filesystems never intended to support
leases, and the silent fallthrough makes it impossible to distinguish
"supports leases" from "never thought about it".
This inverts the default. It adds explicit
.setlease = generic_setlease;
assignments to every in-tree filesystem that should retain lease
support, then changes kernel_setlease() to return -EINVAL when
->setlease is NULL.
With the new default in place, simple_nosetlease() is redundant and
is removed along with all references to it"

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to support non-blocking timestamp updates.
Since commit 66fa3cedf16a ("fs: Add async write file modification
handling") file_update_time_flags() unconditionally returns -EAGAIN
when any timestamp needs updating and IOCB_NOWAIT is set. This makes
non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular
enough timestamps, which in practice means all of them.
This reworks the timestamp update path to propagate IOCB_NOWAIT
through ->update_time so that file systems which can update timestamps
without blocking are no longer penalized.
With that groundwork in place, the core change passes IOCB_NOWAIT into
->update_time and returns -EAGAIN only when the file system indicates
it would block.
XFS implements non-blocking timestamp updates by using the new
->sync_lazytime and open-coding generic_update_time without the
S_NOWAIT check, since the lazytime path through the generic helpers
can never block in XFS"

"Remove the deprecated linuxrc-based initrd code path and related dead

The core change removes handle_initrd() and init_linuxrc() — the
entire flow that ran /linuxrc from an initrd, pivoted roots, and
handed off to the real root filesystem. With that gone, initrd_load()
becomes void (no longer short-circuits prepare_namespace()),
rd_load_image() is simplified to always load /initrd.image instead of
taking a path, and rd_load_disk() is deleted.
The /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev sysctl and its backing variable are
removed since they only existed for linuxrc to communicate the real
root device back to the kernel.
The no-op load_ramdisk= and prompt_ramdisk= parameters are dropped,
and noinitrd and ramdisk_start= gain deprecation warnings.

Currently, C helpers cannot be inlined into Rust code even under LTO

builtin lists, and target feature strings). The __rust_helper macro is
the first step toward fixing this: it is currently #defined to
nothing, but a follow-up series will change it to __always_inline when
compiling with LTO (while keeping it empty for bindgen, which ignores
inline functions).
