NFSD: Implement NFSD_IO_DIRECT for NFS WRITE
When NFSD_IO_DIRECT is selected via the
/sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/io_cache_write experimental tunable, split
incoming unaligned NFS WRITE requests into a prefix, middle and
suffix segment, as needed. The middle segment is now DIO-aligned and
the prefix and/or suffix are unaligned. Synchronous buffered IO is
used for the unaligned segments, and IOCB_DIRECT is used for the
middle DIO-aligned extent.
Although IOCB_DIRECT avoids the use of the page cache, by itself it
doesn't guarantee data durability. For UNSTABLE WRITE requests,
durability is obtained by a subsequent NFS COMMIT request.

of RFC 8881 mandates:

appreciate that the previous line in kiocb_set_rw_flags() results

Previously, while trying to create a server instance, if no
listening sockets were present then default parameter udp
and tcp listeners were created. It's unclear what purpose
was of starting these listeners were and how this could have
been triggered by the userland setup. This patch proposed
to ensure the reverse that we never end in a situation where
no listener sockets are created and we are trying to create
nfsd threads.
The problem it solves is: when nfs.conf only has tcp=n (and
nothing else for the choice of transports), nfsdctl would
still start the server and create udp and tcp listeners.

xdrgen: handle _XdrString in union encoder/decoder
Running xdrgen on xdrgen/tests/test.x fails when

This patch updates emit_union_case_spec_definition

nfsd: Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash
Update NFSD's support for "legacy client tracking" (which uses MD5) to
use the MD5 library instead of crypto_shash. This has several benefits:
- Simpler code. Notably, much of the error-handling code is no longer
needed, since the library functions can't fail.
- Improved performance due to reduced overhead. A microbenchmark of
nfs4_make_rec_clidname() shows a speedup from 1455 cycles to 425.
- The MD5 code can now safely be built as a loadable module when nfsd is
built as a loadable module. (Previously, nfsd forced the MD5 code to
built-in, presumably to work around the unreliability of the
name-based loading.) Thus select MD5 from the tristate option NFSD if
NFSD_LEGACY_CLIENT_TRACKING, instead of from the bool option NFSD_V4.
- Fixes a bug where legacy client tracking was not supported on kernels
booted with "fips=1", due to crypto_shash not allowing MD5 to be used.
This particular use of MD5 is not for a cryptographic purpose, though,
so it is acceptable even when fips=1 (see

nfsd: stop pretending that we cache the SEQUENCE reply.
nfsd does not cache the reply to a SEQUENCE. As the comment above
nfsd4_replay_cache_entry() says:
* The sequence operation is not cached because we can use the slot and

The comment above nfsd4_cache_this() suggests otherwise.
* The session reply cache only needs to cache replies that the client

* consisting of only a SEQUENCE op, so we may as well cache those too.
* Also, the protocol doesn't give us a convenient response in the case
* of a replay of a solo SEQUENCE op that wasn't cached
The code in nfsd4_store_cache_entry() makes it clear that only responses
beyond 'cstate.data_offset' are actually cached, and data_offset is set
at the end of nfsd4_encode_sequence() *after* the sequence response has
been encoded.
This patch simplifies code and removes the confusing comments.

- nfsd4_enc_sequence_replay() is open-coded in to
nfsd4_replay_cache_entry(), and then simplified to (hopefully) make

NFSD: Implement NFSD_IO_DIRECT for NFS READ
Add an experimental option that forces NFS READ operations to use
direct I/O instead of reading through the NFS server's page cache.
There is already at least one other layer of read caching: the page
cache on NFS clients.
The server's page cache, in many cases, is unlikely to provide
additional benefit. Some benchmarks have demonstrated that the
server's page cache is actively detrimental for workloads whose
working set is larger than the server's available physical memory.
For instance, on small NFS servers, cached NFS file content can
squeeze out local memory consumers. For large sequential workloads,
an enormous amount of data flows into and out of the page cache
and is consumed by NFS clients exactly once -- caching that data
is expensive to do and totally valueless.
For now this is a hidden option that can be enabled on test
systems for benchmarking. In the longer term, this option might
be enabled persistently or per-export. When the exported file
system does not support direct I/O, NFSD falls back to using
either DONTCACHE or buffered I/O to fulfill NFS READ requests.

It should be safe to reserve the stream space /after/ the VFS read

the VFS read goes into the rq_bvec, and is then added to the send

Olga noticed that if an RDMA listener is removed and immediately

linger, which prevents a new listener on the same address from

Also, svc_xprt_free() does a module_put() just after calling

mm, swap: fix potential UAF issue for VMA readahead
Since commit 78524b05f1a3 ("mm, swap: avoid redundant swap device
pinning"), the common helper for allocating and preparing a folio in the
swap cache layer no longer tries to get a swap device reference
internally, because all callers of __read_swap_cache_async are already
holding a swap entry reference. The repeated swap device pinning isn't
needed on the same swap device.
Caller of VMA readahead is also holding a reference to the target entry's
swap device, but VMA readahead walks the page table, so it might encounter
swap entries from other devices, and call __read_swap_cache_async on
another device without holding a reference to it.
So it is possible to cause a UAF when swapoff of device A raced with
swapin on device B, and VMA readahead tries to read swap entries from
device A. It's not easy to trigger, but in theory, it could cause real
issues.
Make VMA readahead try to get the device reference first if the swap
device is a different one from the target entry.

mm/huge_memory: fix folio split check for anon folios in swapcache
Both uniform and non uniform split check missed the check to prevent
splitting anon folios in swapcache to non-zero order.
Splitting anon folios in swapcache to non-zero order can cause data
corruption since swapcache only support PMD order and order-0 entries.
This can happen when one use split_huge_pages under debugfs to split
anon folios in swapcache.
In-tree callers do not perform such an illegal operation. Only debugfs
interface could trigger it. I will put adding a test case on my TODO
list.
Fix the check.

mm: fix MAX_FOLIO_ORDER on powerpc configs with hugetlb
In the past, CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE indicated that we support
runtime allocation of gigantic hugetlb folios. In the meantime it evolved
into a generic way for the architecture to state that it supports gigantic
hugetlb folios.
In commit fae7d834c43c ("mm: add __dump_folio()") we started using
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE to decide MAX_FOLIO_ORDER: whether we could
have folios larger than what the buddy can handle. In the context of that
commit, we started using MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect page corruptions when
dumping tail pages of folios. Before that commit, we assumed that we
cannot have folios larger than the highest buddy order, which was
obviously wrong.
In commit 7b4f21f5e038 ("mm/hugetlb: check for unreasonable folio sizes
when registering hstate"), we used MAX_FOLIO_ORDER to detect
inconsistencies, and in fact, we found some now.
Powerpc allows for configs that can allocate gigantic folio during boot
(not at runtime), that do not set CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE and can
exceed PUD_ORDER.
To fix it, let's make powerpc select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE with
hugetlb on powerpc, and increase the maximum folio size with hugetlb to 16
GiB on 64bit (possible on arm64 and powerpc) and 1 GiB on 32 bit
(powerpc). Note that on some powerpc configurations, whether we actually
have gigantic pages depends on the setting of CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER,
but there is nothing really problematic about setting it unconditionally:
we just try to keep the value small so we can better detect problems in
__dump_folio() and inconsistencies around the expected largest folio in
the system.
Ideally, we'd have a better way to obtain the maximum hugetlb folio size
and detect ourselves whether we really end up with gigantic folios. Let's
defer bigger changes and fix the warnings first.
While at it, handle gigantic DAX folios more clearly: DAX can only end up
creating gigantic folios with HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD.
Add a new Kconfig option HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS to make both cases clearer.
In particular, worry about ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE only with HUGETLB_PAGE.
Note: with enabling CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE on powerpc, we will now
also allow for runtime allocations of folios in some more powerpc configs.
I don't think this is a problem, but if it is we could handle it through
__HAVE_ARCH_GIGANTIC_PAGE_RUNTIME_SUPPORTED.
While __dump_page()/__dump_folio was also problematic (not handling
dumping of tail pages of such gigantic folios correctly), it doesn't seem
critical enough to mark it as a fix.

selftests/bpf: Test widen_imprecise_scalars() with different stack depth
A test case for a situation when widen_imprecise_scalars() is called

def widening_stack_size_bug():
r1 = 0
for r6 in 0..1:

r1 = 42

iterator_with_diff_stack_depth() is verified with r1 == 0 first and
r1 == 42 next. Causing stack usage of 128 bytes on a first visit and 8
bytes on a second. Such arrangement triggered a KASAN error in
widen_imprecise_scalars().
Where prev_st is an ancestor of the queued_st in the explored states
tree. This ancestor is not guaranteed to have same allocated stack
depth as queued_st. E.g. in the following case:
def main():
for i in 1..2:
foo(i) // same callsite, differnt param
def foo(i):
if i == 1:
use 128 bytes of stack
iterator based loop
Here, for a second 'foo' call prev_st->allocated_stack is 128,
while queued_st->allocated_stack is much smaller.
widen_imprecise_scalars() needs to take this into account and avoid
accessing bpf_verifier_state->frame[*]->stack out of bounds.

s390/mm: Fix __ptep_rdp() inline assembly
When a zero ASCE is passed to the __ptep_rdp() inline assembly, the
generated instruction should have the R3 field of the instruction set to
zero. However the inline assembly is written incorrectly: for such cases a
zero is loaded into a register allocated by the compiler and this register
is then used by the instruction.
This means that selected TLB entries may not be flushed since the specified
ASCE does not match the one which was used when the selected TLB entries
were created.
Fix this by removing the asce and opt parameters of __ptep_rdp(), since
all callers always pass zero, and use a hard-coded register zero for
the R3 field.

ALSA: usb-audio: Add native DSD quirks for PureAudio DAC series
The PureAudio APA DAC and Lotus DAC5 series are USB Audio
2.0 Class devices that support native Direct Stream Digital (DSD)
playback via specific vendor protocols.
Without these quirks, the devices may only function in standard
PCM mode, or fail to correctly report their DSD format capabilities
to the ALSA framework, preventing native DSD playback under Linux.
This commit adds new quirk entries for the mentioned DAC models
based on their respective Vendor/Product IDs (VID:PID), for example:
0x16d0:0x0ab1 (APA DAC), 0x16d0:0xeca1 (DAC5 series), etc.
The quirk ensures correct DSD format handling by setting the required
SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_DSD_U32_BE format bit and defining the DSD-specific
Audio Class 2.0 (AC2.0) endpoint configurations. This allows the ALSA
DSD API to correctly address the device for high-bitrate DSD streams,
bypassing the need for DoP (DSD over PCM).
Test on APA DAC and Lotus DAC5 SE under Arch Linux.
Microcode that resolves the RDSEED failure (SB-7055 [1]) has been released for
additional Zen5 models to linux-firmware [2]. Update the zen5_rdseed_microcode
array to cover these new models.

mptcp: Fix conflicts between MPTCP and sockmap
Overall, we encountered a warning [1] that can be triggered by running the
selftest I provided.
sockmap works by replacing sk_data_ready, recvmsg, sendmsg operations and
implementing fast socket-level forwarding logic:
1. Users can obtain file descriptors through userspace socket()/accept()
interfaces, then call BPF syscall to perform these replacements.
2. Users can also use the bpf_sock_hash_update helper (in sockops programs)
to replace handlers when TCP connections enter ESTABLISHED state
(BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB/BPF_SOCK_OPS_ACTIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB)
However, when combined with MPTCP, an issue arises: MPTCP creates subflow
sk's and performs TCP handshakes, so the BPF program obtains subflow sk's
and may incorrectly replace their sk_prot. We need to reject such
operations. In patch 1, we set psock_update_sk_prot to NULL in the
subflow's custom sk_prot.
Additionally, if the server's listening socket has MPTCP enabled and the
client's TCP also uses MPTCP, we should allow the combination of subflow
and sockmap. This is because the latest Golang programs have enabled MPTCP
for listening sockets by default [2]. For programs already using sockmap,
upgrading Golang should not cause sockmap functionality to fail.
Patch 2 prevents the WARNING from occurring.
Despite these patches fixing stream corruption, users of sockmap must set
GODEBUG=multipathtcp=0 to disable MPTCP until sockmap fully supports it.

mptcp: Fix proto fallback detection with BPF
The sockmap feature allows bpf syscall from userspace, or based
on bpf sockops, replacing the sk_prot of sockets during protocol stack
processing with sockmap's custom read/write interfaces.
'''
tcp_rcv_state_process()
syn_recv_sock()/subflow_syn_recv_sock()
tcp_init_transfer(BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB)
bpf_skops_established <== sockops
bpf_sock_map_update(sk) <== call bpf helper
tcp_bpf_update_proto() <== update sk_prot
'''
When the server has MPTCP enabled but the client sends a TCP SYN
without MPTCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() performs a fallback on the
subflow, replacing the subflow sk's sk_prot with the native sk_prot.
'''
subflow_syn_recv_sock()
subflow_ulp_fallback()
subflow_drop_ctx()
mptcp_subflow_ops_undo_override()
'''
Then, this subflow can be normally used by sockmap, which replaces the
native sk_prot with sockmap's custom sk_prot. The issue occurs when the
user executes accept::mptcp_stream_accept::mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops().
Here, it uses sk->sk_prot to compare with the native sk_prot, but this
is incorrect when sockmap is used, as we may incorrectly set
sk->sk_socket->ops.
This fix uses the more generic sk_family for the comparison instead.
Additionally, this also prevents a WARNING from occurring:
