mm/slub: fix memory leak in free_to_pcs_bulk()
The commit 989b09b73978 ("slab: skip percpu sheaves for remote object
freeing") introduced the remote_objects array in free_to_pcs_bulk() to
skip sheaves when objects from a remote node are freed.
However, the array is flushed only when:
1) the array becomes full (++remote_nr >= PCS_BATCH_MAX), or
2) slab_free_hook() returns false and size becomes zero.
When neither of the conditions is met, objects in the array are leaked.
This resulted in a memory leak [1], where 82 GiB of memory was allocated
for the maple_node cache.
Flush the array after successfully freeing objects to sheaves
in the do_free: path.
In the meantime, move the snippet if (!size) goto flush_remote; outside
the while loop for readability. Let's say all objects in the array are
from a remote node: then we acquire s->cpu_sheaves->lock and try to free
an object even when size is zero. This doesn't appear to be harmful,
but isn't really readable.

Hangbin recently reported that the hsr selftests were failing and noted
that the entries in the node table were not merged, i.e., had
00:00:00:00:00:00 as MacAddressB forever [1].
This failure only occured with HSRv0 because it was not sending
supervision frames anymore. While debugging this I found that we were
not really following the HSRv0 standard for the supervision frames we
sent, so I additionally made a few changes to get closer to the standard
and restore a more correct behavior we had a while ago.
The selftests can still fail because they take a while and run into the
timeout. I did not include a change of the timeout because I have more
improvements to the selftests mostly ready that change the test duration
but are net-next material.

hsr: Follow standard for HSRv0 supervision frames
For HSRv0, the path_id has the following meaning:
- 0000: PRP supervision frame
- 0001-1001: HSR ring identifier
- 1010-1011: Frames from PRP network (A/B, with RedBoxes)
- 1111: HSR supervision frame
Follow the IEC 62439-3:2010 standard more closely by setting the right
path_id for HSRv0 supervision frames (actually, it is correctly set when
the frame is constructed, but hsr_set_path_id() overwrites it) and set a
fixed HSR ring identifier of 1. The ring identifier seems to be generally
unused and we ignore it anyways on reception, but some fixed identifier is
definitely better than using one identifier in one direction and a wrong
identifier in the other.
This was also the behavior before commit f266a683a480 ("net/hsr: Better
frame dispatch") which introduced the alternating path_id. This was later
moved to hsr_set_path_id() in commit 451d8123f897 ("net: prp: add packet
handling support").
The IEC 62439-3:2010 also contains 6 unused bytes after the MacAddressA in
the HSRv0 supervision frames. Adjust a TODO comment accordingly.

On HSRv0, no supervision frames were sent. The supervison frames were
generated successfully, but failed the check for a sufficiently long mac
header, i.e., at least sizeof(struct hsr_ethhdr), in hsr_fill_frame_info()
because the mac header only contained the ethernet header.
Fix this by including the HSR header in the mac header when generating HSR

struct hsrv0_ethhdr_sp.

ipv4: route: Prevent rt_bind_exception() from rebinding stale fnhe
The sit driver's packet transmission path calls: sit_tunnel_xmit() ->
update_or_create_fnhe(), which lead to fnhe_remove_oldest() being called
to delete entries exceeding FNHE_RECLAIM_DEPTH+random.
The race window is between fnhe_remove_oldest() selecting fnheX for
deletion and the subsequent kfree_rcu(). During this time, the
concurrent path's __mkroute_output() -> find_exception() can fetch the
soon-to-be-deleted fnheX, and rt_bind_exception() then binds it with a
new dst using a dst_hold(). When the original fnheX is freed via RCU,
the dst reference remains permanently leaked.

__mkroute_output()
find_exception() [fnheX]
update_or_create_fnhe()
fnhe_remove_oldest() [fnheX]

This issue manifests as a device reference count leak and a warning in
dmesg when unregistering the net device:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for sitX to become free. Usage count = N
Ido Schimmel provided the simple test validation method [1].
The fix clears 'oldest->fnhe_daddr' before calling fnhe_flush_routes().
Since rt_bind_exception() checks this field, setting it to zero prevents
the stale fnhe from being reused and bound to a new dst just before it
is freed.

wifi: iwlwifi: mld: always take beacon ies in link grading
One of the factors of a link's grade is the channel load, which is
calculated from the AP's bss load element.
The current code takes this element from the beacon for an active link,
and from bss->ies for an inactive link.
bss->ies is set to either the beacon's ies or to the probe response
ones, with preference to the probe response (meaning that if there was
even one probe response, the ies of it will be stored in bss->ies and
won't be overiden by the beacon ies).
The probe response can be very old, i.e. from the connection time,
where a beacon is updated before each link selection (which is
triggered only after a passive scan).
In such case, the bss load element in the probe response will not
include the channel load caused by the STA, where the beacon will.
This will cause the inactive link to always have a lower channel
load, and therefore an higher grade than the active link's one.
This causes repeated link switches, causing the throughput to drop.
Fix this by always taking the ies from the beacon, as those are for
sure new.
During the development of the rate changes, I evidently made
some changes that shouldn't have been there; beacon templates
with rate_n_flags are only in old versions, so no changes to
them should have been necessary, and evidently broke on some
devices. This also would have broken fixed (injection) rates,
it would seem. Restore the old handling of this.

The list_for_each_entry() iterator must not be used outside the loop.

iteration rules and triggers Coccinelle's use_after_iter.cocci warning.
Cache the matched entry in aux_roc_te and use it consistently after the
loop. This follows iterator best practices, resolves the warning, and
makes the code more maintainable.
1) Large batches hold one victim cpu for a very long time.
2) Driver often hit their own TX ring limit (all slots are used).
3) We call dev_requeue_skb()
4) Requeues are using a FIFO (q->gso_skb), breaking qdisc ability to
implement FQ or priority scheduling.
5) dequeue_skb() gets packets from q->gso_skb one skb at a time
with no xmit_more support. This is causing many spinlock games
between the qdisc and the device driver.
Requeues were supposed to be very rare, lets keep them this way.

selftests: mptcp: connect: trunc: read all recv data
MPTCP Join "fastclose server" selftest is sometimes failing because the
client output file doesn't have the expected size, e.g. 296B instead of
1024B.
When looking at a packet trace when this happens, the server sent the
expected 1024B in two parts -- 100B, then 924B -- then the MP_FASTCLOSE.
It is then strange to see the client only receiving 296B, which would
mean it only got a part of the second packet. The problem is then not on
the networking side, but rather on the data reception side.
When mptcp_connect is launched with '-f -1', it means the connection
might stop before having sent everything, because a reset has been
received. When this happens, the program was directly stopped. But it is
also possible there are still some data to read, simply because the
previous 'read' step was done with a buffer smaller than the pending
data, see do_rnd_read(). In this case, it is important to read what's
left in the kernel buffers before stopping without error like before.
SIGPIPE is now ignored, not to quit the app before having read
everything.

which has never carried data is being closed (FIN) on one side, while
the other is sending data for the first time.
To avoid such subflows to be used right at the end, the backup flag has
been added. With that, data will be only carried on the initial subflow.
selftests: mptcp: connect: fix fallback note due to OoO
The "fallback due to TCP OoO" was never printed because the stat_ooo_now
variable was checked twice: once in the parent if-statement, and one in
the child one. The second condition was then always true then, and the
'else' branch was never taken.
The idea is that when there are more ACK + MP_CAPABLE than expected, the
test either fails if there was no out of order packets, or a notice is
printed.

"There's more here than I would ideally like at this stage, but there's
been a steady trickle of fixes and some of them took a few rounds of
review.
The bulk of the changes are fixing some fallout from the recent BBM
level two support which allows the linear map to be split from block
to page mappings at runtime, but inadvertently led to sleeping in
atomic context on some paths where the linear map was already mapped
with page granularity. The fix is simply to avoid splitting in those
cases but the implementation of that is a little involved.
The other interesting fix is addressing a catastophic performance
issue with our per-cpu atomics discovered by Paul in the SRCU locking
code but which took some interactions with the hardware folks to
resolve.
Summary:
- Avoid sleeping in atomic context when changing linear map
permissions for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or KFENCE
- Rework printing of Spectre mitigation status to avoid hardlockup
when enabling per-task mitigations on the context-switch path
- Reject kernel modules when instruction patching fails either due to
the DWARF-based SCS patching or because of an alternatives callback
residing outside of the core kernel text

Currently, CQs without a completion function are assigned the
mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet function by default. This is problematic since
only user CQs created through the mlx5_ib driver are intended to use
this function.
Additionally, all CQs that will use doorbells instead of polling for
completions must call mlx5_cq_arm. However, the default CQ creation flow
leaves a valid value in the CQ's arm_db field, allowing FW to send
interrupts to polling-only CQs in certain corner cases.
These two factors would allow a polling-only kernel CQ to be triggered
by an EQ interrupt and call a completion function intended only for user
CQs, causing a null pointer exception.
Some areas in the driver have prevented this issue with one-off fixes
but did not address the root cause.
This patch fixes the described issue by adding defaults to the create CQ
flow. It adds a default dummy completion function to protect against
null pointer exceptions, and it sets an invalid command sequence number
by default in kernel CQs to prevent the FW from sending an interrupt to
the CQ until it is armed. User CQs are responsible for their own
initialization values.
Callers of mlx5_core_create_cq are responsible for changing the
completion function and arming the CQ per their needs.

Once GC completes, unix_graph_grouped is set to true.
Also, unix_graph_maybe_cyclic is set to true due to sk-X's

At 3-b, unix_add_edge() allocates unix_sk(sk-B)->vertex and
links it to unix_unvisited_vertices.
unix_update_graph() is called at 3-a. and 3-b., but neither
unix_graph_grouped nor unix_graph_maybe_cyclic is changed
because both sk-B's listener and sk-C are not in-flight.
3-c decrements sk-A's file refcnt to 1.
Since unix_graph_grouped is true at 3-d, unix_walk_scc_fast()
is finally called and iterates 3 sockets sk-A, sk-B, and sk-X:
sk-A -> sk-B (-> sk-C)
sk-X -> sk-X
This is totally fine. All of them are not yet close()d and
should be grouped into different SCCs.
However, unix_vertex_dead() misjudges that sk-A and sk-B are
in the same SCC and sk-A is dead.
unix_sk(sk-A)->scc_index == unix_sk(sk-B)->scc_index <-- Wrong!
&&
sk-A's file refcnt == unix_sk(sk-A)->vertex->out_degree
^-- 1 in-flight count for sk-B
-> sk-A is dead !?
The problem is that unix_add_edge() does not initialise scc_index.
Stage 1) is used for heap spraying, making a newly allocated
vertex have vertex->scc_index == 2 (UNIX_VERTEX_INDEX_START)
set by unix_walk_scc() at 1-c.
Let's track the max SCC index from the previous unix_walk_scc()
call and assign the max + 1 to a new vertex's scc_index.

Some Marvell AP firmware used with mwl8k misbehaves when beacon frames
do not contain a WLAN_EID_DS_PARAMS element with the current channel.
It was reported on OpenWrt Github issues [0].
When hostapd/mac80211 omits DSSS Parameter Set from the beacon (which is
valid on some bands), the firmware stops transmitting sane frames and RX
status starts reporting bogus channel information. This makes AP mode
unusable.
Newer Marvell drivers (mwlwifi [1]) hard-code DSSS Parameter Set into

rather than a mwl8k-specific quirk.

commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") incorrectly
ignored the refcount and prematurely set dev->npinfo to NULL during
netpoll cleanup, leading to improper behavior and memory leaks.
Scenario causing lack of proper cleanup:
1) A netpoll is associated with a NIC (e.g., eth0) and netdev->npinfo is
allocated, and refcnt = 1
- Keep in mind that npinfo is shared among all netpoll instances. In
this case, there is just one.
2) Another netpoll is also associated with the same NIC and
npinfo->refcnt += 1.
- Now dev->npinfo->refcnt = 2;
- There is just one npinfo associated to the netdev.
3) When the first netpolls goes to clean up:
- The first cleanup succeeds and clears np->dev->npinfo, ignoring
refcnt.
- It basically calls `RCU_INIT_POINTER(np->dev->npinfo, NULL);`
- Set dev->npinfo = NULL, without proper cleanup
- No ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is either called
4) Now the second target tries to clean up
- The second cleanup fails because np->dev->npinfo is already NULL.
* In this case, ops->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() was never called, and
the skb pool is not cleaned as well (for the second netpoll
instance)
- This leaks npinfo and skbpool skbs, which is clearly reported by
kmemleak.
Revert commit efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") and adds
clarifying comments emphasizing that npinfo cleanup should only happen
once the refcount reaches zero, ensuring stable and correct netpoll
behavior.

Fix IET verification implementation for CPSW driver
The CPSW module supports Intersperse Express Traffic (IET) and allows
the MAC layer to verify whether the peer supports IET through its MAC
merge sublayer, by sending a verification packet and waiting for its
response until the timeout. As defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 99, the
verification process involves up to 3 verification attempts to
establish support.
This patch series fixes issues in the implementation of this IET
verification process.

net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw-qos: fix IET verify retry mechanism
The am65_cpsw_iet_verify_wait() function attempts verification 20 times,
toggling the AM65_CPSW_PN_IET_MAC_LINKFAIL bit in each iteration. When
the LINKFAIL bit transitions from 1 to 0, the MAC merge layer initiates
the verification process and waits for the timeout configured in
MAC_VERIFY_CNT before automatically retransmitting. The MAC_VERIFY_CNT
register is configured according to the user-defined verify/response
timeout in am65_cpsw_iet_set_verify_timeout_count(). As per IEEE 802.3
Clause 99, the hardware performs this automatic retry up to 3 times.
Current implementation toggles LINKFAIL after the user-configured
verify/response timeout in each iteration, forcing the hardware to
restart verification instead of respecting the MAC_VERIFY_CNT timeout.
This bypasses the hardware's automatic retry mechanism.
Fix this by moving the LINKFAIL bit toggle outside the retry loop and
reducing the retry count from 20 to 3. The software now only monitors
the status register while the hardware autonomously handles the 3
verification attempts at proper MAC_VERIFY_CNT intervals.

The CPSW module uses the MAC_VERIFY_CNT bit field in the

resending a verify packet if the verification fails.
The verify/response timeout count, as being set by the function

net/handshake: Fix memory leak in tls_handshake_accept()

net/smc: fix mismatch between CLC header and proposal
The current CLC proposal message construction uses a mix of
`ini->smc_type_v1/v2` and `pclc_base->hdr.typev1/v2` to decide whether
to include optional extensions (IPv6 prefix extension for v1, and v2
extension). This leads to a critical inconsistency: when
`smc_clc_prfx_set()` fails - for example, in IPv6-only environments with
only link-local addresses, or when the local IP address and the outgoing
interface’s network address are not in the same subnet.
As a result, the proposal message is assembled using the stale
`ini->smc_type_v1` value—causing the IPv6 prefix extension to be
included even though the header indicates v1 is not supported.
The peer then receives a malformed CLC proposal where the header type
does not match the payload, and immediately resets the connection.
The fix ensures consistency between the CLC header flags and the actual
payload by synchronizing `ini->smc_type_v1` with `pclc_base->hdr.typev1`
when prefix setup fails.

net: dsa: tag_brcm: do not mark link local traffic as offloaded
Broadcom switches locally terminate link local traffic and do not
forward it, so we should not mark it as offloaded.
In some situations we still want/need to flood this traffic, e.g. if STP
is disabled, or it is explicitly enabled via the group_fwd_mask. But if
the skb is marked as offloaded, the kernel will assume this was already
done in hardware, and the packets never reach other bridge ports.
So ensure that link local traffic is never marked as offloaded, so that
the kernel can forward/flood these packets in software if needed.
Since the local termination in not configurable, check the destination
MAC, and never mark packets as offloaded if it is a link local ether
address.
While modern switches set the tag reason code to BRCM_EG_RC_PROT_TERM
for trapped link local traffic, they also set it for link local traffic
that is flooded (01:80:c2:00:00:10 to 01:80:c2:00:00:2f), so we cannot
use it and need to look at the destination address for them as well.

nfsd: ensure SEQUENCE replay sends a valid reply.
nfsd4_enc_sequence_replay() uses nfsd4_encode_operation() to encode a
new SEQUENCE reply when replaying a request from the slot cache - only
ops after the SEQUENCE are replayed from the cache in ->sl_data.
However it does this in nfsd4_replay_cache_entry() which is called
*before* nfsd4_sequence() has filled in reply fields.
This means that in the replayed SEQUENCE reply:
maxslots will be whatever the client sent
target_maxslots will be -1 (assuming init to zero, and
nfsd4_encode_sequence() subtracts 1)
status_flags will be zero
The incorrect maxslots value, in particular, can cause the client to
think the slot table has been reduced in size so it can discard its
knowledge of current sequence number of the later slots, though the
server has not discarded those slots. When the client later wants to
use a later slot, it can get NFS4ERR_SEQ_MISORDERED from the server.
This patch moves the setup of the reply into a new helper function and
call it *before* nfsd4_replay_cache_entry() is called. Only one of the
updated fields was used after this point - maxslots. So the
nfsd4_sequence struct has been extended to have separate maxslots for
the request and the response.

kho: fix unpreservation of higher-order vmalloc preservations
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() calls __kho_unpreserve() with end_pfn as
pfn + 1. This happens to work for 0-order pages, but leaks higher order
pages.
For example, say order 2 pages back the allocation. During preservation,
they get preserved in the order 2 bitmaps, but
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() would try to unpreserve them from the order
0 bitmaps, which should not have these bits set anyway, leaving the order
2 bitmaps untouched. This results in the pages being carried over to the
next kernel. Nothing will free those pages in the next boot, leaking
them.
Fix this by taking the order into account when calculating the end PFN for
__kho_unpreserve().

kho: fix out-of-bounds access of vmalloc chunk
The list of pages in a vmalloc chunk is NULL-terminated. So when looping
through the pages in a vmalloc chunk, both kho_restore_vmalloc() and
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() rightly make sure to stop when encountering
a NULL page. But when the chunk is full, the loops do not stop and go
past the bounds of chunk->phys, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access,
and possibly the restoration or unpreservation of an invalid page.
Fix this by making sure the processing of chunk stops at the end of the
array.

mm/secretmem: fix use-after-free race in fault handler
When a page fault occurs in a secret memory file created with
`memfd_secret(2)`, the kernel will allocate a new folio for it, mark the
underlying page as not-present in the direct map, and add it to the file
mapping.
If two tasks cause a fault in the same page concurrently, both could end
up allocating a folio and removing the page from the direct map, but only
one would succeed in adding the folio to the file mapping. The task that
failed undoes the effects of its attempt by (a) freeing the folio again
and (b) putting the page back into the direct map. However, by doing
these two operations in this order, the page becomes available to the
allocator again before it is placed back in the direct mapping.
If another task attempts to allocate the page between (a) and (b), and the
kernel tries to access it via the direct map, it would result in a
supervisor not-present page fault.
Fix the ordering to restore the direct map before the folio is freed.

mm/huge_memory: initialise the tags of the huge zero folio
On arm64 with MTE enabled, a page mapped as Normal Tagged (PROT_MTE) in
user space will need to have its allocation tags initialised. This is
normally done in the arm64 set_pte_at() after checking the memory
attributes. Such page is also marked with the PG_mte_tagged flag to avoid
subsequent clearing. Since this relies on having a struct page,
pte_special() mappings are ignored.
Commit d82d09e48219 ("mm/huge_memory: mark PMD mappings of the huge zero
folio special") maps the huge zero folio special and the arm64
set_pmd_at() will no longer zero the tags. There is no guarantee that the
tags are zero, especially if parts of this huge page have been previously
tagged.
It's fairly easy to detect this by regularly dropping the caches to
force the reallocation of the huge zero folio.
Allocate the huge zero folio with the __GFP_ZEROTAGS flag. In addition,
do not warn in the arm64 __access_remote_tags() when reading tags from the
huge zero page.
I bundled the arm64 change in here as well since they are both related to
the commit mapping the huge zero folio as special.

nilfs2: avoid having an active sc_timer before freeing sci
Because kthread_stop did not stop sc_task properly and returned -EINTR,
the sc_timer was not properly closed, ultimately causing the problem [1]
reported by syzbot when freeing sci due to the sc_timer not being closed.
Because the thread sc_task main function nilfs_segctor_thread() returns 0
when it succeeds, when the return value of kthread_stop() is not 0 in
nilfs_segctor_destroy(), we believe that it has not properly closed
sc_timer.
We use timer_shutdown_sync() to sync wait for sc_timer to shutdown, and
set the value of sc_task to NULL under the protection of lock
sc_state_lock, so as to avoid the issue caused by sc_timer not being
properly shutdowned.

There is also an issue unrelated to the system's word size[2]: if the
user stops DAMON just after next_update_jiffies is updated and restarts
it after 'refresh_ms' or a longer delay, next_update_jiffies will retain
an older value, causing time_before() to return false and the update to
happen earlier than expected.
Fix these issues by making next_update_jiffies a global variable and

boot on 32-bit systems (see [1] for more explanation, which fixes another
jiffies-related issue before). As a result, DAMON_STAT does not update
any monitoring results during that period, which becomes more confusing
when DAMON_STAT_ENABLED_DEFAULT is enabled.
There is also an issue unrelated to the system's word size[2]: if the user

codetag: debug: handle existing CODETAG_EMPTY in mark_objexts_empty for slabobj_ext
When alloc_slab_obj_exts() fails and then later succeeds in allocating a
slab extension vector, it calls handle_failed_objexts_alloc() to mark all
objects in the vector as empty. As a result all objects in this slab
(slabA) will have their extensions set to CODETAG_EMPTY.
Later on if this slabA is used to allocate a slabobj_ext vector for
another slab (slabB), we end up with the slabB->obj_exts pointing to a
slabobj_ext vector that itself has a non-NULL slabobj_ext equal to
CODETAG_EMPTY. When slabB gets freed, free_slab_obj_exts() is called to
free slabB->obj_exts vector.
free_slab_obj_exts() calls mark_objexts_empty(slabB->obj_exts) which will
generate a warning because it expects slabobj_ext vectors to have a NULL
obj_ext, not CODETAG_EMPTY.
Modify mark_objexts_empty() to skip the warning and setting the obj_ext
value if it's already set to CODETAG_EMPTY.
To quickly detect this WARN, I modified the code from
WARN_ON(slab_exts[offs].ref.ct) to BUG_ON(slab_exts[offs].ref.ct == 1);
