fs: Clarify FS_CASEFOLD_FL semantics in UAPI header
The existing one-liner "Folder is case insensitive" leaves the
impression that FS_CASEFOLD_FL is reserved for directories.
That impression is wrong: filesystems that derive
case-insensitivity from mount or volume state report the bit on
non-directory inodes via i_op->fileattr_get, so userspace
inspecting FS_IOC_GETFLAGS can see it on any inode type.
Replace the one-liner with a block comment that names directories
as the typical case, records that non-directory inodes may also
report the bit, and notes FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD as the read-only
companion exposed through FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR.

nfs: Skip pathconf probe when neither field is consumed

nfs: Avoid transient zeroed case capability bits during probe

by clp->rpc_ops->version < 4 and is therefore reached on NFSv2/v3

a live mount. Concurrent readers walking server->caps can observe the
cleared state for the duration of the round-trip and report the wrong
case-sensitivity attributes.

server->caps in a single store so readers see either the stale value

original behaviour of dropping the bits when the pathconf RPC itself

Merge patch series "Exposing case folding behavior"
Chuck Lever <cel@kernel.org> says:
I'm attempting to implement enough support in the Linux VFS to
enable file services like NFSD and ksmbd (and user space
equivalents) to provide the actual status of case folding support
in local file systems. The default behavior for local file systems
not explicitly supported in this series is to reflect the usual
POSIX behaviors:
The case-insensitivity and case-nonpreserving booleans can be
consumed immediately by NFSD. These two attributes have been part of
the NFSv3 and NFSv4 protocols for decades, in order to support NFS
client implementations on non-POSIX systems.
Support for user space file servers is why this series exposes case
folding information via a user-space API. I don't know of any other
category of user-space application that requires access to case
folding info.
The Linux NFS community has a growing interest in supporting NFS
clients on Windows and MacOS platforms, where file name behavior does
not align with traditional POSIX semantics.
One example of a Windows-based NFS client is [1]. This client
implementation explicitly requires servers to report
FATTR4_WORD0_CASE_INSENSITIVE = TRUE for proper operation, a hard
requirement for Windows client interoperability because Windows
applications expect case-insensitive behavior. When an NFS client
knows the server is case-insensitive, it can avoid issuing multiple
LOOKUP/READDIR requests to search for case variants, and applications
like Win32 programs work correctly without manual workarounds or
code changes.
Even the Linux client can take advantage of this information. Trond
merged patches 4 years ago [2] that introduce support for case
insensitivity, in support of the Hammerspace NFS server. In
particular, when a client detects a case-insensitive NFS share,
negative dentry caching must be disabled (a lookup for "FILE.TXT"
failing shouldn't cache a negative entry when "file.txt" exists)
and directory change invalidation must clear all cached case-folded
file name variants.
Hammerspace servers and several other NFS server implementations
operate in multi-protocol environments, where a single file service
instance caters to both NFS and SMB clients. In those cases, things
work more smoothly for everyone when the NFS client can see and adapt
to the case folding behavior that SMB users rely on and expect. NFSD
needs to support the case-insensitivity and case-nonpreserving
booleans properly in order to participate as a first-class citizen
in such environments.

nfsd: Implement NFSv4 FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE and FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING
NFSD currently provides NFSv4 clients with hard-coded responses

and ext4 directories with casefold enabled.
Query the underlying filesystem's actual case sensitivity via
nfsd_get_case_info() and return accurate values to clients. This
supports per-directory settings for filesystems that allow mixing
case-sensitive and case-insensitive directories within an export.
The helper queries the parent dentry for non-directory filehandles
because case-folding is a per-directory property. That resolution
has the same corner cases here as for NFSv3 PATHCONF: single-file
exports query an unexported parent, disconnected dentries report
defaults until reconnected, and hardlinked files track whichever
alias the dcache currently holds.

nfsd: Report export case-folding via NFSv3 PATHCONF
The hard-coded MSDOS_SUPER_MAGIC check in nfsd3_proc_pathconf()
only recognizes FAT filesystems as case-insensitive. Modern
filesystems like F2FS, exFAT, and CIFS support case-insensitive
directories, but NFSv3 clients cannot discover this capability.
Query the export's actual case behavior through ->fileattr_get
instead. This allows NFSv3 clients to correctly handle case
sensitivity for any filesystem that implements the fileattr
interface. Filesystems without ->fileattr_get continue to report
the default POSIX behavior (case-sensitive, case-preserving).
This change depends on the earlier "fat: Implement fileattr_get
for case sensitivity" patch in this series, which ensures FAT
filesystems report their case behavior correctly via the
fileattr interface.
Case-folding is a per-directory property, so
nfsd_get_case_info() queries the parent dentry for
non-directory filehandles. Three inherent corner cases follow:
a single-file export's parent lies outside the exported
subtree, so the LSM hook evaluates against an unexported
directory; a disconnected dentry from fh_verify() has
d_parent == itself, so the file's own attributes are reported
until the dentry connects; and a hardlinked file resolves
through the alias the dcache currently holds, so when the
inode is linked into both case-folded and case-sensitive
directories the reported value tracks whichever parent is
active. These limitations are not addressable without
redefining the protocol attribute as per-parent rather than
per-object.
RFC 1813 restricts PATHCONF errors to NFS3ERR_STALE,
NFS3ERR_BADHANDLE, and NFS3ERR_SERVERFAULT. When an LSM hook
denies the case-folding query on the parent, NFS3ERR_STALE is
the only correct mapping: NFS3ERR_SERVERFAULT misrepresents a
working server as broken, and NFS3ERR_BADHANDLE implies a
decoding failure that did not occur. A client purging the
filehandle on receipt is the desired outcome, since the server
has refused to read attributes through it. Substituting POSIX
defaults instead would let the same handle report
casefold=false now and casefold=true once policy permits,
opening a silent name-collision window on case-insensitive
exports.

isofs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Upper layers such as NFSD need a way to query whether a
filesystem handles filenames in a case-sensitive manner so
they can provide correct semantics to remote clients. Without
this information, NFS exports of ISO 9660 filesystems cannot
advertise their filename case behavior.
Implement isofs_fileattr_get() to report ISO 9660 case handling
behavior. The 'check=r' (relaxed) mount option enables
case-insensitive lookups and is reported via FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD.
By default, Joliet extensions operate in relaxed mode while
plain ISO 9660 uses strict (case-sensitive) mode.
Plain ISO 9660 names on the medium are uppercase. When neither
Rock Ridge nor Joliet is in effect, the default 'map=n' option
(and 'map=a') routes lookup and readdir through
isofs_name_translate(), which forces A-Z to a-z. The names
visible to userspace then differ in case from the on-disc form,
so report FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING in that configuration. Rock
Ridge and Joliet both deliver names as authored, and 'map=o'
emits the raw on-disc name unchanged, so those configurations
remain case-preserving.
Casefolding is a directory property, and the in-tree consumers
(NFSD, ksmbd) issue the query against a directory: NFSD walks
to the parent for non-directory dentries before calling
vfs_fileattr_get(), and ksmbd reports per-share attributes from
the share root. Wire .fileattr_get only on
isofs_dir_inode_operations. The CASEFOLD flag is set in both
fa->fsx_xflags and fa->flags so FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and
FS_IOC_GETFLAGS agree.

Upper layers such as NFSD need a way to query whether a

The case sensitivity property is queried from the VirtualBox host
service at mount time and cached in struct vboxsf_sbi. The host

(for example, Windows NTFS is case-insensitive while Linux ext4 is
case-sensitive).
VirtualBox shared folders always preserve filename case exactly
as provided by the guest. The host interface does not expose a
separate case-preserving property; leaving
FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING unset reports the POSIX-default
case-preserving behavior, which matches vboxsf semantics.
The callback is registered in all three inode_operations
structures (directory, file, and symlink) to ensure consistent
reporting across all inode types.

nfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
An NFS server re-exporting an NFS mount point needs to report
the case sensitivity behavior of the underlying filesystem to
its clients. NFSD's attribute encoder obtains that information
by calling vfs_fileattr_get() on the lower filesystem, so the
NFS client must implement fileattr_get to surface what it
learned from its own server.
The NFS client already retrieves case sensitivity information
from servers during mount via PATHCONF (NFSv3) or the
FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE/FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING attributes
(NFSv4). Expose this information through fileattr_get by
reporting the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING
flags. NFSv2 lacks PATHCONF support, so mounts using that protocol
version default to standard POSIX behavior: case-sensitive and
case-preserving.
PATHCONF is now invoked unconditionally for NFSv2 and NFSv3 mounts
so the case-sensitivity capabilities are established even when the
user pins server->namelen with the namlen= mount option. That option
is orthogonal to case handling, and skipping PATHCONF because
namelen was already known would leave the caps unset.
The two capability bits carry opposite polarity because their POSIX
defaults differ. Most servers are case-sensitive and case-
preserving, matching "neither xflag set." NFS_CAP_CASE_INSENSITIVE
is set only when the server affirms case insensitivity, so "server
said no" and "server did not answer" both collapse to the case-
sensitive default. NFS_CAP_CASE_NONPRESERVING follows the same
pattern in the opposite direction: set only when the server affirms
that it does not preserve case, so that silence or a missing
attribute lands on the case-preserving default. The NFSv4 probe
checks res.attr_bitmask[0] to distinguish "server said false" from
"server omitted the attribute" before setting the bit.
Both capability bits are cleared before each probe so a remount,
an NFSv4 transparent state migration to a server with different
case semantics, or a probe whose reply does not arrive does not
retain stale capabilities from the prior probe.

cifs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Upper layers such as NFSD need a way to query whether a filesystem
handles filenames in a case-sensitive manner. Report CIFS/SMB case
handling behavior via FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and
FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING.
The authoritative source is the server itself: at mount time CIFS
issues QueryFSInfo(FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION) and caches the reply
on the tcon. That reply carries FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH and
FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES, which reflect whatever case handling
the share actually implements after SMB3.1.1 POSIX extensions
negotiation. Translating those two bits into the VFS flags lets
cifs_fileattr_get report what the server advertises rather than
what the client was asked to pretend.
QueryFSInfo is best-effort; the mount completes even if the server
does not answer. MaxPathNameComponentLength is zero in that case
and is used as the "no reply received" sentinel. When no reply is
available, fall back to the nocase mount option so that the reported
behavior agrees with the dentry comparison operations installed on
the superblock.
The callback is registered on cifs_dir_inode_ops so that NFSD,
ksmbd, and other consumers querying case handling against a
directory get a definitive answer, and on cifs_file_inode_ops to
preserve FS_COMPR_FL reporting on regular files. cifs_set_ops()
also installs cifs_namespace_inode_operations on DFS referral
directories that carry IS_AUTOMOUNT; register the same callback
there so the answer does not depend on whether the directory is
a referral point.
Registering fileattr_get routes FS_IOC_GETFLAGS through
vfs_fileattr_get() and short-circuits the syscall's fallback to
cifs_ioctl(). That fallback invoked CIFSGetExtAttr() under
CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX and CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY on servers
advertising CIFS_UNIX_EXTATTR_CAP, surfacing the SMB1 Unix-extension
immutable, append, and nodump bits. cifs_fileattr_get carries over
only FS_COMPR_FL from cached cifsAttrs; the SMB1 extattr fetch is
not reproduced. SMB1 is deprecated, and acquiring a netfid from
within a dentry-only callback is not worth preserving a path tied
to an insecure legacy dialect.

FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD is read-only: FS_XFLAG_RDONLY_MASK ensures

Initial SoC Slider support

On SoC Slider systems, EPP plays a diminished role.

tools/power x86_energy_perf_policy: Enhances SoC Slider related checks
When processor_thermal_soc_slider is loaded, its slider
and offset modparams are visible. Check that the driver
actually registered the profile named "SoC Slider" before
reading or writing these modparams.
n.b. This utility allows writing the Slider and Offset modparams
even if the driver policy is not "balanced". Currently the
processor_thermal_soc_slider consults those modparams
only in "balanced" mode.
clk: bcm: rpi: Mark VEC clock as CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
On Raspberry Pi 3B, the VEC clock is used by the VideoCore firmware
display driver, which remains active until the vc4 driver loads and
sends NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE. If this clock is disabled during boot, a bus
lockup happens and the firmware becomes unresponsive, causing a complete
system lockup.
Mark the VEC clock with CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED so it survives the unused
clock disablement and remains available until the vc4 driver takes over
display management.

Pull ring-buffer fix from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix accounting of persistent ring buffer rewind
On boot up, the head page is moved back to the earliest point of the
saved ring buffer. This is because the ring buffer being read by user
space on a crash may not save the part it read. Rewinding the head
page back to the earliest saved position helps keep those events from
being lost.
The number of events is also read during boot up and displayed in the
stats file in the tracefs directory. It's also used for other
accounting as well. On boot up, the "reader page" is accounted for
but a rewind may put it back into the buffer and then the reader page
may be accounted for again.
Save off the original reader page and skip accounting it when
scanning the pages in the ring buffer.

Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Fix for a NOMMU bug with io_uring, where NOMMU doesn't grab page refs
at mmap time. NOMMU also has entirely broken FOLL_PIN support, yet
here we are
- A few fixes covering minor issues introduced in this merge window
- data race annotation to shut up KCSAN for when io-wq limits are
applied
- A nospec addition for direct descriptor file updating. Rest of the
direct descriptor path already had this, but for some reason the
update did not. Now they are all the same
- Various minor defensive changes that claude identified and suggested
terrible fixes for, turned into actually useful cleanups:
- Use kvfree() for the imu cache. These can come from kmalloc or
vmalloc depending on size, but the in-cache ones are capped
where it's always kmalloc based. Change to kvfree() in the
cleanup path, making future changes unlikely to mess that up
- Negative kbuf consumption lengths. Can't happen right now, but
cqe->res is used directly, which if other codes changes could
then be an error value
- Fix for an issue with the futex code, where partial wakes on a
vectored fuxes would potentially wake the same futex twice, rather
than move on to the next one. This could confuse an application as it
would've expected the next futex to have been woken
- Fix for a bug with ring resizing, where SQEs or CQEs might not have
been copied correctly if large SQEs or CQEs are used in the ring.
Application side issue, where SQEs or CQEs might have been lost
during resize
- Fix for a bug where EPOLL_URING_WAKE might have been lost, causing a
multishot poll to not be terminated when it's nested, like it should

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
"There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
and strrchr().
Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
unaligned access speed testing.
A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.
Summary:
- Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
strnlen(), and strrchr()

"Delete some obsolete networking code
Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
noobs try to fix them.
If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.
We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so
we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
behind us"

x86/mm: Revert INVLPGB optimization for set_memory code
tl;dr: Revert an INVLPGB optimization that did not properly handle
discontiguous virtual addresses.
Full story:
I got a report from some graphics (i915) folks that bisected a
regression in their test suite to 86e6815b316e ("x86/mm: Change
cpa_flush() to call flush_kernel_range() directly"). There was a bit
of flip-flopping on the exact bisect, but the code here does seem
wrong to me. The i915 folks were calling set_pages_array_wc(), so
using the CPA_PAGES_ARRAY mode.
Basically, the 'struct cpa_data' can wrap up all kinds of page table
changes. Some of these are virtually contiguous, but some are very
much not which is one reason why there are ->vaddr and ->pages arrays.
86e6815b316e made the mistake of assuming that the virtual addresses
in the cpa_data are always contiguous. It got things right when neither
CPA_ARRAY/CPA_PAGES_ARRAY is used, but theoretically wrong when either
of those is used.
In the i915 case, it probably failed to flush some WB TLB entries and
install WC ones, leaving some data in the caches and not flushing it
out to where the device could see it. That eventually caused graphics
problems.
Revert the INVLPGB optimization. It can be reintroduced later, but it
will need to be a bit careful about the array modes.

kbuild: Never respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e to fixdep
The fixdep hostprog may be built multiple times during a single build.
Once during the configuration phase and later during the regular phase.
As only the regular build phase respects CONFIG_WERROR / W=e, the
compiler flags might change between the phases, leading to rebuilds.
Example, the rebuilds will happen twice on each invocation of the build:
$ make allyesconfig prepare
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/deleteme'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
#
# No change to .config
#
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/deleteme'
Fix the compilation flags used for scripts/basic/ before
scripts/Makefile.warn is evaluated to stop CONFIG_WERROR / W=e
influencing the fixdep build to avoid the spurious rebuilds.

Remove a number of ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet drivers
These old drivers have not been much of a Maintenance burden until
recently. Now there are more newbies using AI and fuzzers finding
issues, resulting in more work for Maintainers. Fixing these old
drivers make little sense, if it is not clear they have users.
These mostly ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet devices, mostly from the last
century, a couple from 2001 or 2002. It seems unlikely they are still
used. However, remove them one patch at a time so they can be brought
back if somebody still has the hardware, runs modern kernels and wants
to take up the roll of driver Maintainer.

Merge patch series "eventpoll: fix ep_remove() UAF and follow-up cleanup"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
ep_remove() (via __ep_remove_file()) cleared file->f_ep under
file->f_lock but then kept using @file in the same critical section:
is_file_epoll(), hlist_del_rcu() through the head, spin_unlock. A
concurrent __fput() on the watched eventpoll caught the transient
NULL in eventpoll_release()'s lockless fast path, skipped
eventpoll_release_file() entirely, and ran to ep_eventpoll_release()
-> ep_clear_and_put() -> ep_free(). That kfree()s the struct
eventpoll whose embedded ->refs hlist_head is exactly where
epi->fllink.pprev points and the subsequent hlist_del_rcu()'s
"*pprev = next" scribbles into freed kmalloc-192 memory, which is
the slab-use-after-free KASAN caught.
struct file is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU on top of that so the same window
also lets the slot recycle while ep_remove() is still nominally
inside file->f_lock. The upshot is an attacker-influencable
kmem_cache_free() against the wrong slab cache.
The comment on eventpoll_release()'s fast path - "False positives
simply cannot happen because the file in on the way to be removed
and nobody ( but eventpoll ) has still a reference to this file" -
was itself the wrong invariant this race exploits.
The fix pins @file via epi_fget() at the top of ep_remove() and
gates the f_ep clear / hlist_del_rcu() on the pin succeeding. With
the pin held __fput() cannot start which transitively keeps the
watched struct eventpoll alive across the critical section and also
prevents the struct file slot from recycling. Both UAFs are closed.
If the pin fails __fput() is already in flight on @file. Because we
bail before clearing f_ep that path takes eventpoll_release()'s slow
path into eventpoll_release_file() which blocks on ep->mtx until
ep_clear_and_put() drops it and then cleans up the orphaned epi. The
bailed epi's share of ep->refcount stays intact so
ep_clear_and_put()'s trailing ep_refcount_dec_and_test() cannot free
the eventpoll out from under eventpoll_release_file().
With epi_fget() now gating every ep_remove() call the epi->dying
flag becomes vestigial. epi->dying == true always coincides with
file_ref_get() == false because __fput() is reachable only once the
refcount hits zero and the refcount is monotone there. The last
patch drops the flag and leaves a single coordination mechanism
instead of two.
* patches from https://patch.msgid.link/20260423-work-epoll-uaf-v1-0-2470f9eec0f5@kernel.org:
eventpoll: drop vestigial epi->dying flag
eventpoll: drop dead bool return from __ep_remove_epi()
eventpoll: refresh eventpoll_release() fast-path comment
eventpoll: move f_lock acquisition into __ep_remove_file()
eventpoll: fix ep_remove struct eventpoll / struct file UAF
eventpoll: move epi_fget() up
eventpoll: rename ep_remove_safe() back to ep_remove()
eventpoll: kill __ep_remove()
eventpoll: split __ep_remove()
eventpoll: use hlist_is_singular_node() in __ep_remove()
With ep_remove() now pinning @file via epi_fget() across the
f_ep clear and hlist_del_rcu(), the dying flag no longer
orchestrates anything: it was set in eventpoll_release_file()
(which only runs from __fput(), i.e. after @file's refcount has
reached zero) and read in __ep_remove() / ep_remove() as a cheap
bail before attempting the same synchronization epi_fget() now
provides unconditionally.
The implication is simple: epi->dying == true always coincides
with file_ref_get(&file->f_ref) == false, because __fput() is
reachable only once the refcount hits zero and the refcount is
monotone in that state. The READ_ONCE(epi->dying) in ep_remove()
therefore selects exactly the same callers that epi_fget() would
reject, just one atomic cheaper. That's not worth a struct
field, a second coordination mechanism, and the comments on
both.
Refresh the eventpoll_release_file() comment to describe what
actually makes the path race-free now (the pin in ep_remove()).
No functional change: the correctness argument is unchanged,
only the mechanism is now a single one instead of two.
eventpoll: drop dead bool return from ep_remove_epi()
ep_remove_epi() always returns true -- the "can be disposed"
answer was meaningful back when the dying-check lived inside the
pre-split __ep_remove(), but after that check moved to ep_remove()
the return value is just noise. Both callers gate on it
unconditionally:
if (ep_remove_epi(ep, epi))
WARN_ON_ONCE(ep_refcount_dec_and_test(ep));
dispose = ep_remove_epi(ep, epi);
...
if (dispose && ep_refcount_dec_and_test(ep))
ep_free(ep);
Make ep_remove_epi() return void, drop the dispose local in
eventpoll_release_file(), and the useless conditionals at both
callers. No functional change.
The old comment justified the lockless READ_ONCE(file->f_ep) check
with "False positives simply cannot happen because the file is on
the way to be removed and nobody ( but eventpoll ) has still a
reference to this file." That reasoning was the root of the UAF
fixed in "eventpoll: fix ep_remove struct eventpoll / struct file
UAF": __ep_remove() could clear f_ep while another close raced
past the fast path and freed the watched eventpoll / recycled the
struct file slot.
With ep_remove() now pinning @file via epi_fget() across the f_ep
clear and hlist_del_rcu(), the invariant is re-established for the
right reason: anyone who might clear f_ep holds @file alive for
the duration, so a NULL observation really does mean no
concurrent eventpoll path has work left on this file. Refresh the
comment accordingly so the next reader doesn't inherit the broken
model.
eventpoll: move f_lock acquisition into ep_remove_file()
Let the helper own its critical section end-to-end: take &file->f_lock
at the top, read file->f_ep inside the lock, release on exit. Callers
(ep_remove() and eventpoll_release_file()) no longer need to wrap the
call, and the function-comment lock-handoff contract is gone.
ep_remove() (via ep_remove_file()) cleared file->f_ep under
file->f_lock but then kept using @file inside the critical section
(is_file_epoll(), hlist_del_rcu() through the head, spin_unlock).
A concurrent __fput() taking the eventpoll_release() fastpath in
that window observed the transient NULL, skipped
eventpoll_release_file() and ran to f_op->release / file_free().
For the epoll-watches-epoll case, f_op->release is
ep_eventpoll_release() -> ep_clear_and_put() -> ep_free(), which
kfree()s the watched struct eventpoll. Its embedded ->refs
hlist_head is exactly where epi->fllink.pprev points, so the
subsequent hlist_del_rcu()'s "*pprev = next" scribbles into freed
kmalloc-192 memory.
In addition, struct file is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, so the slot
backing @file could be recycled by alloc_empty_file() --
reinitializing f_lock and f_ep -- while ep_remove() is still
nominally inside that lock. The upshot is an attacker-controllable
kmem_cache_free() against the wrong slab cache.
Pin @file via epi_fget() at the top of ep_remove() and gate the
critical section on the pin succeeding. With the pin held @file
cannot reach refcount zero, which holds __fput() off and
transitively keeps the watched struct eventpoll alive across the
hlist_del_rcu() and the f_lock use, closing both UAFs.
If the pin fails @file has already reached refcount zero and its
__fput() is in flight. Because we bailed before clearing f_ep,
that path takes the eventpoll_release() slow path into
eventpoll_release_file() and blocks on ep->mtx until the waiter
side's ep_clear_and_put() drops it. The bailed epi's share of
ep->refcount stays intact, so the trailing ep_refcount_dec_and_test()
in ep_clear_and_put() cannot free the eventpoll out from under
eventpoll_release_file(); the orphaned epi is then cleaned up
there.
A successful pin also proves we are not racing
eventpoll_release_file() on this epi, so drop the now-redundant
re-check of epi->dying under f_lock. The cheap lockless
READ_ONCE(epi->dying) fast-path bailout stays.
eventpoll: drop vestigial __ prefix from ep_remove_{file,epi}()
With __ep_remove() gone, the double-underscore on __ep_remove_file()
and __ep_remove_epi() no longer contrasts with a __-less parent and
just reads as noise. Rename both to ep_remove_file() and
ep_remove_epi(). No functional change.
Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner (Amutable) <brauner@kernel.org>
Remove the boolean conditional in __ep_remove() and restructure the code
so the check for racing with eventpoll_release_file() are only done in
the ep_remove_safe() path where they belong.
eventpoll: use hlist_is_singular_node() in __ep_remove()
Replace the open-coded "epi is the only entry in file->f_ep" check
with hlist_is_singular_node(). Same semantics, and the helper avoids
the head-cacheline access in the common false case.

fs: Handle multiply claimed blocks more gracefully with mmb
When a metadata block is referenced by multiple inodes and tracked by
metadata bh infrastructure (which is forbidden and generally indicates
filesystem corruption), it can happen that mmb_mark_buffer_dirty() is
called for two different mmb structures in parallel. This can lead to a
corruption of mmb linked list. Handle that situation gracefully (at
least from mmb POV) by serializing on setting bh->b_mmb.
