sched/debug: Fix avg_vruntime() usage
John reported that stress-ng-yield could make his machine unhappy and
managed to bisect it to commit b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix
zero_vruntime tracking").
The commit in question changes avg_vruntime() from a function that is
a pure reader, to a function that updates variables. This turns an
unlocked sched/debug usage of this function from a minor mistake into
a data corruptor.

sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking fix
John reported that stress-ng-yield could make his machine unhappy and
managed to bisect it to commit b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix
zero_vruntime tracking").
The combination of yield and that commit was specific enough to
hypothesize the following scenario:
Suppose we have 2 runnable tasks, both doing yield. Then one will be
eligible and one will not be, because the average position must be in
between these two entities.
Therefore, the runnable task will be eligible, and be promoted a full
slice (all the tasks do is yield after all). This causes it to jump over
the other task and now the other task is eligible and current is no
longer. So we schedule.
Since we are runnable, there is no {de,en}queue. All we have is the
__{en,de}queue_entity() from {put_prev,set_next}_task(). But per the
fingered commit, those two no longer move zero_vruntime.
All that moves zero_vruntime are tick and full {de,en}queue.
This means, that if the two tasks playing leapfrog can reach the
critical speed to reach the overflow point inside one tick's worth of
time, we're up a creek.
Additionally, when multiple cgroups are involved, there is no guarantee
the tick will in fact hit every cgroup in a timely manner. Statistically
speaking it will, but that same statistics does not rule out the
possibility of one cgroup not getting a tick for a significant amount of
time -- however unlikely.
Therefore, just like with the yield() case, force an update at the end
of every slice. This ensures the update is never more than a single
slice behind and the whole thing is within 2 lag bounds as per the
comment on entity_key().

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- Fix netfs_limit_iter() hitting BUG() when an ITER_KVEC iterator
reaches it via core dump writes to 9P filesystems. Add ITER_KVEC
handling following the same pattern as the existing ITER_BVEC code.
- Fix a NULL pointer dereference in the netfs unbuffered write retry
path when the filesystem (e.g., 9P) doesn't set the prepare_write
operation.
- Clear I_DIRTY_TIME in sync_lazytime for filesystems implementing
->sync_lazytime. Without this the flag stays set and may cause
additional unnecessary calls during inode deactivation.
- Increase tmpfs size in mount_setattr selftests. A recent commit
bumped the ext4 image size to 2 GB but didn't adjust the tmpfs
backing store, so mkfs.ext4 fails with ENOSPC writing metadata.
- Fix an invalid folio access in iomap when i_blkbits matches the folio
size but differs from the I/O granularity. The cur_folio pointer
would not get invalidated and iomap_read_end() would still be called
on it despite the IO helper owning it.
- Fix hash_name() docstring.
- Fix read abandonment during netfs retry where the subreq variable
used for abandonment could be uninitialized on the first pass or
point to a deleted subrequest on later passes.
- Don't block sync for filesystems with no data integrity guarantees.
Add a SB_I_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY superblock flag replacing the per-inode
AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mapping flag so sync kicks off writeback but
doesn't wait for flusher threads. This fixes a suspend-to-RAM hang on
fuse-overlayfs where the flusher thread blocks when the fuse daemon
is frozen.
- Fix a lockdep splat in iomap when reads fail. iomap_read_end_io()
invokes fserror_report() which calls igrab() taking i_lock in hardirq
context while i_lock is normally held with interrupts enabled. Kick
failed read handling to a workqueue.
- Remove the redundant netfs_io_stream::front member and use
stream->subrequests.next instead, fixing a potential issue in the
direct write code path.

tracing: Drain deferred trigger frees if kthread creation fails
Boot-time trigger registration can fail before the trigger-data cleanup
kthread exists. Deferring those frees until late init is fine, but the
post-boot fallback must still drain the deferred list if kthread
creation never succeeds.
Otherwise, boot-deferred nodes can accumulate on
trigger_data_free_list, later frees fall back to synchronously freeing
only the current object, and the older queued entries are leaked
forever.
To trigger this, add the following to the kernel command line:
The second traceon trigger will fail and be freed. This triggers a NULL
pointer dereference and crashes the kernel.
Keep the deferred boot-time behavior, but when kthread creation fails,
drain the whole queued list synchronously. Do the same in the late-init
drain path so queued entries are not stranded there either.
Previously we stored the end of the current VMA in curr_end, and then upon
iterating to the next VMA updated curr_start to curr_end to advance to the
next VMA.
However, this doesn't take into account the fact that a VMA might be
updated due to a merge by vma_modify_flags(), which can result in curr_end
being stale and thus, upon setting curr_start to curr_end, ending up with
an incorrect curr_start on the next iteration.
Resolve the issue by setting curr_end to vma->vm_end unconditionally to
ensure this value remains updated should this occur.
While we're here, eliminate this entire class of bug by simply setting

mm/pagewalk: fix race between concurrent split and refault
The splitting of a PUD entry in walk_pud_range() can race with a
concurrent thread refaulting the PUD leaf entry causing it to try walking
a PMD range that has disappeared.
An example and reproduction of this is to try reading numa_maps of a
process while VFIO-PCI is setting up DMA (specifically the
vfio_pin_pages_remote call) on a large BAR for that process.
Fix this by validating the PUD entry in walk_pmd_range() using a stable
snapshot (pudp_get()). If the PUD is not present or is a leaf, retry the
walk via ACTION_AGAIN instead of descending further. This mirrors the
retry logic in walk_pte_range(), which lets walk_pmd_range() retry if the
PTE is not being got by pte_offset_map_lock().

mm/memory: fix PMD/PUD checks in follow_pfnmap_start()
follow_pfnmap_start() suffers from two problems:
(1) We are not re-fetching the pmd/pud after taking the PTL
Therefore, we are not properly stabilizing what the lock actually
protects. If there is concurrent zapping, we would indicate to the
caller that we found an entry, however, that entry might already have
been invalidated, or contain a different PFN after taking the lock.
Properly use pmdp_get() / pudp_get() after taking the lock.
(2) pmd_leaf() / pud_leaf() are not well defined on non-present entries
pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() could wrongly trigger on non-present entries.
There is no real guarantee that pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() returns something
reasonable on non-present entries. Most architectures indeed either
perform a present check or make it work by smart use of flags.
However, for example loongarch checks the _PAGE_HUGE flag in pmd_leaf(),
and always sets the _PAGE_HUGE flag in __swp_entry_to_pmd(). Whereby
pmd_trans_huge() explicitly checks pmd_present(), pmd_leaf() does not do
that.
Let's check pmd_present()/pud_present() before assuming "the is a present
PMD leaf" when spotting pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf(), like other page table
handling code that traverses user page tables does.
Given that non-present PMD entries are likely rare in VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP, (1)
is likely more relevant than (2). It is questionable how often (1) would
actually trigger, but let's CC stable to be sure.
This was found by code inspection.

In practice, it would be hard to hit deliberately (unless you are a

system with -o discard, and then deleting a large number of files,
remounting the file system with -o nodiscard, and then immediately
unmounting the file system before the queued discard work has a change
to drain on its own.

ext4: handle wraparound when searching for blocks for indirect mapped blocks
Commit 4865c768b563 ("ext4: always allocate blocks only from groups
inode can use") restricts what blocks will be allocated for indirect
block based files to block numbers that fit within 32-bit block
numbers.
However, when using a review bot running on the latest Gemini LLM to
check this commit when backporting into an LTS based kernel, it raised
this concern:
If ac->ac_g_ex.fe_group is >= ngroups (for instance, if the goal
group was populated via stream allocation from s_mb_last_groups),
then start will be >= ngroups.
Does this allow allocating blocks beyond the 32-bit limit for
indirect block mapped files? The commit message mentions that
ext4_mb_scan_groups_linear() takes care to not select unsupported
groups. However, its loop uses group = *start, and the very first
iteration will call ext4_mb_scan_group() with this unsupported
group because next_linear_group() is only called at the end of the
iteration.
After reviewing the code paths involved and considering the LLM
review, I determined that this can happen when there is a file system
where some files/directories are extent-mapped and others are
indirect-block mapped. To address this, add a safety clamp in
ext4_mb_scan_groups().

Instead of reordering the teardown sequence, fix this by making
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() detect that sysfs has already been torn down
by checking s_kobj.state_in_sysfs, and skipping the sysfs_notify() call
in that case. A dedicated mutex (s_error_notify_mutex) serializes
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() against kobject_del() in ext4_unregister_sysfs()

ext4: avoid infinite loops caused by residual data
On the mkdir/mknod path, when mapping logical blocks to physical blocks,
if inserting a new extent into the extent tree fails (in this example,
because the file system disabled the huge file feature when marking the
inode as dirty), ext4_ext_map_blocks() only calls ext4_free_blocks() to
reclaim the physical block without deleting the corresponding data in
the extent tree. This causes subsequent mkdir operations to reference
the previously reclaimed physical block number again, even though this
physical block is already being used by the xattr block. Therefore, a
situation arises where both the directory and xattr are using the same
buffer head block in memory simultaneously.
The above causes ext4_xattr_block_set() to enter an infinite loop about
"inserted" and cannot release the inode lock, ultimately leading to the
143s blocking problem mentioned in [1].
If the metadata is corrupted, then trying to remove some extent space
can do even more harm. Also in case EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE
was passed, remove space wrongly update quota information.
Jan Kara suggests distinguishing between two cases:
1) The error is ENOSPC or EDQUOT - in this case the filesystem is fully
consistent and we must maintain its consistency including all the
accounting. However these errors can happen only early before we've
inserted the extent into the extent tree. So current code works correctly
for this case.
2) Some other error - this means metadata is corrupted. We should strive to
do as few modifications as possible to limit damage. So I'd just skip
freeing of allocated blocks.

If the on-disk extent header contains a corrupted or crafted
eh_entries value, p_idx can point past the end of the allocated
buffer, causing a slab-out-of-bounds read.
Fix this by validating path[k].p_idx against EXT_LAST_INDEX() at
both access sites: before the while loop and inside it. Return
-EFSCORRUPTED if the index pointer is out of range, consistent
with how other bounds violations are handled in the ext4 extent
tree code.

ext4: test if inode's all dirty pages are submitted to disk
The commit aa373cf55099 ("writeback: stop background/kupdate works from
livelocking other works") introduced an issue where unmounting a filesystem
in a multi-logical-partition scenario could lead to batch file data loss.
This problem was not fixed until the commit d92109891f21 ("fs/writeback:
bail out if there is no more inodes for IO and queued once"). It took
considerable time to identify the root cause. Additionally, in actual
production environments, we frequently encountered file data loss after
normal system reboots. Therefore, we are adding a check in the inode
release flow to verify whether all dirty pages have been flushed to disk,
in order to determine whether the data loss is caused by a logic issue in
the filesystem code.

Fix by passing XATTR_CREATE flag to xattr_set_handle function if a handle

ext4_set_context must not be called with a non-null handle (fs_data) if

ext4: convert inline data to extents when truncate exceeds inline size
Add a check in ext4_setattr() to convert files from inline data storage
to extent-based storage when truncate() grows the file size beyond the
inline capacity. This prevents the filesystem from entering an
inconsistent state where the inline data flag is set but the file size
exceeds what can be stored inline.
Without this fix, the following sequence causes a kernel BUG_ON():
1. Mount filesystem with inode that has inline flag set and small size
2. truncate(file, 50MB) - grows size but inline flag remains set
3. sendfile() attempts to write data
4. ext4_write_inline_data() hits BUG_ON(write_size > inline_capacity)
The crash occurs because ext4_write_inline_data() expects inline storage
to accommodate the write, but the actual inline capacity (~60 bytes for
i_block + ~96 bytes for xattrs) is far smaller than the file size and
write request.
The fix checks if the new size from setattr exceeds the inode's actual
inline capacity (EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size) and converts the file to
extent-based storage before proceeding with the size change.
This addresses the root cause by ensuring the inline data flag and file
size remain consistent during truncate operations.

ext4: fix stale xarray tags after writeback
There are cases where ext4_bio_write_page() gets called for a page which
has no buffers to submit. This happens e.g. when the part of the file is
actually a hole, when we cannot allocate blocks due to being called from
jbd2, or in data=journal mode when checkpointing writes the buffers
earlier. In these cases we just return from ext4_bio_write_page()
however if the page didn't need redirtying, we will leave stale DIRTY
and/or TOWRITE tags in xarray because those get cleared only in
__folio_start_writeback(). As a result we can leave these tags set in
mappings even after a final sync on filesystem that's getting remounted
read-only or that's being frozen. Various assertions can then get upset
when writeback is started on such filesystems (Gerald reported assertion
in ext4_journal_check_start() firing).
Fix the problem by cycling the page through writeback state even if we
decide nothing needs to be written for it so that xarray tags get
properly updated. This is slightly silly (we could update the xarray
tags directly) but I don't think a special helper messing with xarray
tags is really worth it in this relatively rare corner case.

Identified resume-probe race condition in kernel v7.0 with the commit 38fa29b01a6a ("i2c: designware: Combine the init functions"),but this
issue existed from the beginning though not detected.
The amdisp i2c device requires ISP to be in power-on state for probe
to succeed. To meet this requirement, this device is added to genpd
to control ISP power using runtime PM. The pm_runtime_get_sync() called
before i2c_dw_probe() triggers PM resume, which powers on ISP and also
invokes the amdisp i2c runtime resume before the probe completes resulting
in this race condition and a NULL dereferencing issue in v7.0
Fix this race condition by using the genpd APIs directly during probe:
- Call dev_pm_genpd_resume() to Power ON ISP before probe
- Call dev_pm_genpd_suspend() to Power OFF ISP after probe
- Set the device to suspended state with pm_runtime_set_suspended()
- Enable runtime PM only after the device is fully initialized

i2c: imx: ensure no clock is generated after last read
When reading from the I2DR register, right after releasing the bus by
clearing MSTA and MTX, the I2C controller might still generate an
additional clock cycle which can cause devices to misbehave. Ensure to
only read from I2DR after the bus is not busy anymore. Because this
requires polling, the read of the last byte is moved outside of the
interrupt handler.
An example for such a failing transfer is this:
i2ctransfer -y -a 0 w1@0x00 0x02 r1
Error: Sending messages failed: Connection timed out
It does not happen with every device because not all devices react to
the additional clock cycle.

i2c: imx: fix i2c issue when reading multiple messages
When reading multiple messages, meaning a repeated start is required,
polling the bus busy bit must be avoided. This must only be done for
the last message. Otherwise, the driver will timeout.

ovl: make fsync after metadata copy-up opt-in mount option
Commit 7d6899fb69d25 ("ovl: fsync after metadata copy-up") was done to
fix durability of overlayfs copy up on an upper filesystem which does
not enforce ordering on storing of metadata changes (e.g. ubifs).
In an earlier revision of the regressing commit by Lei Lv, the metadata
fsync behavior was opt-in via a new "fsync=strict" mount option.
We were hoping that the opt-in mount option could be avoided, so the
change was only made to depend on metacopy=off, in the hope of not
hurting performance of metadata heavy workloads, which are more likely
to be using metacopy=on.
This hope was proven wrong by a performance regression report from Google
COS workload after upgrade to kernel 6.12.
This is an adaptation of Lei's original "fsync=strict" mount option
to the existing upstream code.
The new mount option is mutually exclusive with the "volatile" mount
option, so the latter is now an alias to the "fsync=volatile" mount
option.
