Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe: - Optimization to avoid reference counts on non-cloned registered buffers. This is how these buffers were handled prior to having cloning support, and we can still use that approach as long as the buffers haven't been cloned to another ring. - Cleanup and improvement for uring_cmd, where btrfs was the only user of storing allocated data for the lifetime of the uring_cmd. Clean that up so we can get rid of the need to do that. - Avoid unnecessary memory copies in uring_cmd usage. This is particularly important as a lot of uring_cmd usage necessitates the use of 128b SQEs. - A few updates for recv multishot, where it's now possible to add fairness limits for limiting how much is transferred for each retry loop. Additionally, recv multishot now supports an overall cap as well, where once reached the multishot recv will terminate. The latter is useful for buffer management and juggling many recv streams at the same time. - Add support for returning the TX timestamps via a new socket command. This feature can work in either singleshot or multishot mode, where the latter triggers a completion whenever new timestamps are available. This is an alternative to using the existing error queue. - Add support for an io_uring "mock" file, which is the start of being able to do 100% targeted testing in terms of exercising io_uring request handling. The idea is to have a file type that can be anything the tester would like, and behave exactly how you want it to behave in terms of hitting the code paths you want. - Improve zcrx by using sgtables to de-duplicate and improve dma address handling. - Prep work for supporting larger pages for zcrx. - Various little improvements and fixes. * tag 'for-6.17/io_uring-20250728' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux: (42 commits) io_uring/zcrx: fix leaking pages on sg init fail io_uring/zcrx: don't leak pages on account failure io_uring/zcrx: fix null ifq on area destruction io_uring: fix breakage in EXPERT menu io_uring/cmd: remove struct io_uring_cmd_data btrfs/ioctl: store btrfs_uring_encoded_data in io_btrfs_cmd io_uring/cmd: introduce IORING_URING_CMD_REISSUE flag io_uring/zcrx: account area memory io_uring: export io_[un]account_mem io_uring/net: Support multishot receive len cap io_uring: deduplicate wakeup handling io_uring/net: cast min_not_zero() type io_uring/poll: cleanup apoll freeing io_uring/net: allow multishot receive per-invocation cap io_uring/net: move io_sr_msg->retry_flags to io_sr_msg->flags io_uring/net: use passed in 'len' in io_recv_buf_select() io_uring/zcrx: prepare fallback for larger pages io_uring/zcrx: assert area type in io_zcrx_iov_page io_uring/zcrx: allocate sgtable for umem areas io_uring/zcrx: introduce io_populate_area_dma ...

2025-07-28block: change blk_get_meta_cap() stub return -ENOIOCTLCMDKlara Modin
When introduced in commit 9eb22f7fedfc ("fs: add ioctl to query metadata and protection info capabilities") the stub of blk_get_meta_cap() for !BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY always returns -EOPNOTSUPP. The motivation was that while the command was unsupported in that configuration it was still recognized. A later change instead assumed -ENOIOCTLCMD as is required for unknown ioctl commands per Documentation/driver-api/ioctl.rst. The result being that on !BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY configs, any ioctl which reaches blkdev_common_ioctl() will return -EOPNOTSUPP. Change the stub to return -ENOIOCTLCMD, fixing the issue and better matching with expectations. [ The blkdev_common_ioctl() confusion has been fixed, but -ENOIOCTLCMD is the right thing to return for unrecognized ioctls, so the patch remains the right thing to do. - Linus ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CACzX3AsRd__fXb9=CJPTTJC494SDnYAtYrN2=+bZgMCvM6UQDg@mail.gmail.com Fixes: 42b0ef01e6b5 ("block: fix FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP parsing in blkdev_common_ioctl()") Signed-off-by: Klara Modin <klarasmodin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2025-07-28fuse: remove page alignment check for writeback lenJoanne Koong
Remove incorrect page alignment check for the writeback len arg in fuse_iomap_writeback_range(). len will always be block-aligned as passed in by iomap. On regular fuse filesystems, i_blkbits is set to PAGE_SHIFT so this is not a problem but for fuseblk filesystems, the block size is set to a default of 512 bytes or a block size passed in at mount time. Please note that non-page-aligned lengths are fine for the logic in fuse_iomap_writeback_range(). The check was originally added as a safeguard to detect conspicuously wrong ranges.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs iomap updates from Christian Brauner: - Refactor the iomap writeback code and split the generic and ioend/bio based writeback code. There are two methods that define the split between the generic writeback code, and the implemementation of it, and all knowledge of ioends and bios now sits below that layer. - Add fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio writeback. This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can be used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big advantages. For writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be read into the page cache, only the relevant portions need to be. For writeback, only the dirty portions need to be written back instead of the entire folio. * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fuse: refactor writeback to use iomap_writepage_ctx inode fuse: hook into iomap for invalidating and checking partial uptodateness fuse: use iomap for folio laundering fuse: use iomap for writeback fuse: use iomap for buffered writes iomap: build the writeback code without CONFIG_BLOCK iomap: add read_folio_range() handler for buffered writes iomap: improve argument passing to iomap_read_folio_sync iomap: replace iomap_folio_ops with iomap_write_ops iomap: export iomap_writeback_folio iomap: move folio_unlock out of iomap_writeback_folio iomap: rename iomap_writepage_map to iomap_writeback_folio iomap: move all ioend handling to ioend.c iomap: add public helpers for uptodate state manipulation iomap: hide ioends from the generic writeback code iomap: refactor the writeback interface iomap: cleanup the pending writeback tracking in iomap_writepage_map_blocks iomap: pass more arguments using the iomap writeback context iomap: header diet

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull superblock callback update from Christian Brauner: "Currently all filesystems which implement super_operations::shutdown() can not afford losing a device. Thus fs_bdev_mark_dead() will just call the ->shutdown() callback for the involved filesystem. But it will no longer be the case, as multi-device filesystems like btrfs can handle certain device loss without the need to shutdown the whole filesystem. To allow those multi-device filesystems to be integrated to use fs_holder_ops: - Add a new super_operations::remove_bdev() callback - Try ->remove_bdev() callback first inside fs_bdev_mark_dead(). If the callback returned 0, meaning the fs can handling the device loss, then exit without doing anything else. If there is no such callback or the callback returned non-zero value, continue to shutdown the filesystem as usual. This means the new remove_bdev() should only do the check on whether the operation can continue, and if so do the fs specific handlings. The shutdown handling should still be handled by the existing ->shutdown() callback. For all existing filesystems with shutdown callback, there is no change to the code nor behavior. Btrfs is going to implement both the ->remove_bdev() and ->shutdown() callbacks soon" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: add a new remove_bdev() callback

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls after lengthy discussions. Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related operations. These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects. XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent directory. The project is created from userspace by opening and calling FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but in the case when special files are created in the directory with already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn, prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing files. In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the legacy ioctls anymore" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fileattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: tighten a sanity check in file_attr_to_fileattr() tree-wide: s/struct fileattr/struct file_kattr/g fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls fs: prepare for extending file_get/setattr() fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP selinux: implement inode_file_[g|s]etattr hooks lsm: introduce new hooks for setting/getting inode fsxattr fs: split fileattr related helpers into separate file

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs 'protection info' updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds the new FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP ioctl() to query metadata and protection info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information about the files integrity profile. This is useful for userspace applications to understand a files end-to-end data protection support and configure the I/O accordingly. For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts. A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which contains the following fields: - lbmd_flags: bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags - lbmd_interval: the amount of data described by each unit of logical block metadata - lbmd_size: size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated with each interval - lbmd_opaque_size: size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated with each interval - lbmd_opaque_offset: offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within the logical block metadata - lbmd_pi_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each interval - lbmd_pi_offset: offset in bytes of T10 PI tuple within the logical block metadata - lbmd_pi_guard_tag_type: T10 PI guard tag type - lbmd_pi_app_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI application tag - lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag - lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile associated with the device.

This scheme is reaching it's limits as it makes it impossible to pin information that needs to be available after the task has exited or coredumped and that should not be lost simply because the pidfd got closed temporarily. The next opener should still see the stashed information. This is also a prerequisite for supporting extended attributes on pidfds to allow attaching meta information to them. If someone opens a pidfd for a struct pid a pidfs dentry is allocated and stashed in pid->stashed. Once the last pidfd for the struct pid is closed the pidfs dentry is released and removed from pid->stashed. So if 10 callers create a pidfs dentry for the same struct pid sequentially, i.e., each closing the pidfd before the other creates a new one then a new pidfs dentry is allocated every time. Because multiple tasks acquiring and releasing a pidfd for the same struct pid can race with each another a task may still find a valid pidfs entry from the previous task in pid->stashed and reuse it. Or it might find a dead dentry in there and fail to reuse it and so stashes a new pidfs dentry. Multiple tasks may race to stash a new pidfs dentry but only one will succeed, the other ones will put their dentry. The current scheme aims to ensure that a pidfs dentry for a struct pid can only be created if the task is still alive or if a pidfs dentry already existed before the task was reaped and so exit information has been was stashed in the pidfs inode. That's great except that it's buggy. If a pidfs dentry is stashed in pid->stashed after pidfs_exit() but before __unhash_process() is called we will return a pidfd for a reaped task without exit information being available. The pidfds_pid_valid() check does not guard against this race as it doens't sync at all with pidfs_exit(). The pid_has_task() check might be successful simply because we're before __unhash_process() but after pidfs_exit(). Introduce a new scheme where the lifetime of information associated with a pidfs entry (coredump and exit information) isn't bound to the lifetime of the pidfs inode but the struct pid itself. The first time a pidfs dentry is allocated for a struct pid a struct pidfs_attr will be allocated which will be used to store exit and coredump information. If all pidfs for the pidfs dentry are closed the dentry and inode can be cleaned up but the struct pidfs_attr will stick until the struct pid itself is freed. This will ensure minimal memory usage while persisting relevant information. The new scheme has various advantages. First, it allows to close the race where we end up handing out a pidfd for a reaped task for which no exit information is available. Second, it minimizes memory usage. Third, it allows to remove complex lifetime tracking via dentries when registering a struct pid with pidfs. There's no need to get or put a reference. Instead, the lifetime of exit and coredump information associated with a struct pid is bound to the lifetime of struct pid itself. - extended attributes Now that we have a way to persist information for pidfs dentries we can start supporting extended attributes on pidfds. This will allow userspace to attach meta information to tasks. One natural extension would be to introduce a custom pidfs.* extended attribute space and allow for the inheritance of extended attributes across fork() and exec(). The first simple scheme will allow privileged userspace to set trusted extended attributes on pidfs inodes. - Allow autonomous pidfs file handles Various filesystems such as pidfs and drm support opening file handles without having to require a file descriptor to identify the filesystem. The filesystem are global single instances and can be trivially identified solely on the information encoded in the file handle. This makes it possible to not have to keep or acquire a sentinal file descriptor just to pass it to open_by_handle_at() to identify the filesystem. That's especially useful when such sentinel file descriptor cannot or should not be acquired. For pidfs this means a file handle can function as full replacement for storing a pid in a file. Instead a file handle can be stored and reopened purely based on the file handle. Such autonomous file handles can be opened with or without specifying a a file descriptor. If no proper file descriptor is used the FD_PIDFS_ROOT sentinel must be passed. This allows us to define further special negative fd sentinels in the future. Userspace can trivially test for support by trying to open the file handle with an invalid file descriptor. - Allow pidfds for reaped tasks with SCM_PIDFD messages This is a logical continuation of the earlier work to create pidfds for reaped tasks through the SO_PEERPIDFD socket option merged in 923ea4d4482b ("Merge patch series "net, pidfs: enable handing out pidfds for reaped sk->sk_peer_pid""). - Two minor fixes: * Fold fs_struct->{lock,seq} into a seqlock * Don't bother with path_{get,put}() in unix_open_file() * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (37 commits) don't bother with path_get()/path_put() in unix_open_file() fold fs_struct->{lock,seq} into a seqlock selftests: net: extend SCM_PIDFD test to cover stale pidfds af_unix: enable handing out pidfds for reaped tasks in SCM_PIDFD af_unix: stash pidfs dentry when needed af_unix/scm: fix whitespace errors af_unix: introduce and use scm_replace_pid() helper af_unix: introduce unix_skb_to_scm helper af_unix: rework unix_maybe_add_creds() to allow sleep selftests/pidfd: decode pidfd file handles withou having to specify an fd fhandle, pidfs: support open_by_handle_at() purely based on file handle uapi/fcntl: add FD_PIDFS_ROOT uapi/fcntl: add FD_INVALID fcntl/pidfd: redefine PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP uapi/fcntl: mark range as reserved fhandle: reflow get_path_anchor() pidfs: add pidfs_root_path() helper fhandle: rename to get_path_anchor() fhandle: hoist copy_from_user() above get_path_from_fd() fhandle: raise FILEID_IS_DIR in handle_type ...

2025-07-28rv: Retry when da monitor detects race conditionsGabriele Monaco
DA monitor can be accessed from multiple cores simultaneously, this is likely, for instance when dealing with per-task monitors reacting on events that do not always occur on the CPU where the task is running. This can cause race conditions where two events change the next state and we see inconsistent values. E.g.: [62] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_wakeup -> running (final) [63] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_set_state_sleepable -> sleepable [63] error_srs: 27: event sched_switch_suspend not expected in the state running In this case the monitor fails because the event on CPU 62 wins against the one on CPU 63, although the correct state should have been sleepable, since the task get suspended. Detect if the current state was modified by using try_cmpxchg while storing the next value. If it was, try again reading the current state. After a maximum number of failed retries, react by calling a special tracepoint, print on the console and reset the monitor. Remove the functions da_monitor_curr_state() and da_monitor_set_state() as they only hide the underlying implementation in this case. Monitors where this type of condition can occur must be able to account for racing events in any possible order, as we cannot know the winner.

The RV da_monitor API allows to start monitors in two ways: da_handle_start_event_NAME and da_handle_start_run_event_NAME. The former is used when the event is followed by the initial state of the module, so we ignore the event but we know the monitor is in the initial state and can start monitoring, the latter can be used if the event can only occur in the initial state, so we do handle the event as if the monitor was in the initial state. This latter API is defined for implicit monitors but not per-task ones. Define da_handle_start_run_event_NAME macro also for per-task monitors.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner: "Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"). This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations. This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state. Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been the cause of bugs and complexity in the past. The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare. Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted. Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback. This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed. As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they can nest all other file systems. We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs, syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner: "fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified. The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode. At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable amount of disk bandwidth. Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the media. For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write bandwidth. This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices. fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fallocate' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: ext4: add FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES support block: add FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES support block: factor out common part in blkdev_fallocate() fs: introduce FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES to fallocate dm: clear unmap write zeroes limits when disabling write zeroes scsi: sd: set max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors if device supports SD_ZERO_*_UNMAP nvmet: set WZDS and DRB if device enables unmap write zeroes operation nvme: set max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors if device supports DEAC bit block: introduce max_{hw|user}_wzeroes_unmap_sectors to queue limits

2025-07-28bpf: Add third round of bounds deductionPaul Chaignon
Commit d7f008738171 ("bpf: try harder to deduce register bounds from different numeric domains") added a second call to __reg_deduce_bounds in reg_bounds_sync because a single call wasn't enough to converge to a fixed point in terms of register bounds. With patch "bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from this series, Eduard noticed that calling __reg_deduce_bounds twice isn't enough anymore to converge. The first selftest added in "selftests/bpf: Test cross-sign 64bits range refinement" highlights the need for a third call to __reg_deduce_bounds. After instruction 7, reg_bounds_sync performs the following bounds deduction: reg_bounds_sync entry: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146) __update_reg_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146) __reg_deduce_bounds: __reg32_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg64_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_deduce_bounds: __reg32_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=0xeffffeee,umin=umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,smax32=-146,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg64_deduce_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e) __reg_bound_offset: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff)) __update_reg_bounds: scalar(smin=-655,smax=smax32=-146,umin=0xfffffffffffffd71,umax=0xffffffffffffff6e,smin32=-783,umin32=0xfffffcf1,umax32=0xffffff6e,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffc00; 0x3ff)) In particular, notice how: 1. In the first call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg32_deduce_bounds learns new u32 bounds. 2. __reg64_deduce_bounds is unable to improve bounds at this point. 3. __reg_deduce_mixed_bounds derives new u64 bounds from the u32 bounds. 4. In the second call to __reg_deduce_bounds, __reg64_deduce_bounds improves the smax and umin bounds thanks to patch "bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundary" from this series. 5. Subsequent functions are unable to improve the ranges further (only tnums). Yet, a better smin32 bound could be learned from the smin bound. __reg32_deduce_bounds is able to improve smin32 from smin, but for that we need a third call to __reg_deduce_bounds. As discussed in [1], there may be a better way to organize the deduction rules to learn the same information with less calls to the same functions. Such an optimization requires further analysis and is orthogonal to the present patchset.

2025-07-28selftests/bpf: Test cross-sign 64bits range refinementPaul Chaignon
This patch adds coverage for the new cross-sign 64bits range refinement logic. The three tests cover the cases when the u64 and s64 ranges overlap (1) in the negative portion of s64, (2) in the positive portion of s64, and (3) in both portions. The first test is a simplified version of a BPF program generated by syzkaller that caused an invariant violation [1]. It looks like syzkaller could not extract the reproducer itself (and therefore didn't report it to the mailing list), but I was able to extract it from the console logs of a crash. The principle is similar to the invariant violation described in commit 6279846b9b25 ("bpf: Forget ranges when refining tnum after JSET"): the verifier walks a dead branch, uses the condition to refine ranges, and ends up with inconsistent ranges. In this case, the dead branch is when we fallthrough on both jumps. The new refinement logic improves the bounds such that the second jump is properly detected as always-taken and the verifier doesn't end up walking a dead branch. The second and third tests are inspired by the first, but rely on condition jumps to prepare the bounds instead of ALU instructions. An R10 write is used to trigger a verifier error when the bounds can't be refined.

2025-07-28bpf: Improve bounds when s64 crosses sign boundaryPaul Chaignon
__reg64_deduce_bounds currently improves the s64 range using the u64 range and vice versa, but only if it doesn't cross the sign boundary. This patch improves __reg64_deduce_bounds to cover the case where the s64 range crosses the sign boundary but overlaps with the u64 range on only one end. In that case, we can improve both ranges. Consider the following example, with the s64 range crossing the sign boundary: 0 U64_MAX | [xxxxxxxxxxxxxx u64 range xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] | |----------------------------|----------------------------| |xxxxx s64 range xxxxxxxxx] [xxxxxxx| 0 S64_MAX S64_MIN -1 The u64 range overlaps only with positive portion of the s64 range. We can thus derive the following new s64 and u64 ranges. 0 U64_MAX | [xxxxxx u64 range xxxxx] | |----------------------------|----------------------------| | [xxxxxx s64 range xxxxx] | 0 S64_MAX S64_MIN -1 The same logic can probably apply to the s32/u32 ranges, but this patch doesn't implement that change. In addition to the selftests, the __reg64_deduce_bounds change was also tested with Agni, the formal verification tool for the range analysis [1].

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull dentry d_flags updates from Al Viro: "The current exclusion rules for dentry->d_flags stores are rather unpleasant. The basic rules are simple: - stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock - stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before becomes potentially visible to other threads Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's where the headache comes from. The main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op of dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof of correctness is brittle. Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might as well precalculate the initial value of 'd_flags' when we set the default ->d_op for given superblock and set 'd_flags' directly instead of messing with that helper. The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not going to reproduce it here. See [1] for gory details, if you care. The critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with setting ->d_op, etc a natural replacement primitive. Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and modifying 'd_flags' under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as far as 'd_flags' exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are minor and easy to deal with. What this series does: - d_set_d_op() is no longer available; instead a new primitive (d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias(). - new field of struct super_block - 's_d_flags'. This sets the default value of 'd_flags' to be used when allocating dentries on this filesystem. - new primitive for setting 's_d_op': set_default_d_op(). This replaces stores to 's_d_op' at mount time. All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught by the compiler ('s_d_op' is renamed, so stores to it will be caught). 's_d_flags' is set by the same primitive to match the 's_d_op'. - a lot of filesystems had sb->s_d_op->d_delete equal to always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting DCACHE_DONTCACHE in 'd_flags', so such filesystems can bloody well set that bit in 's_d_flags' and drop 'd_delete()' from dentry_operations. In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which means that we can get rid of those. - kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore - massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt 'd_flags' stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we allocate the new dentry; no need to delay that until we commit to using the sucker. As the result, 'd_flags' stores are all either under ->d_lock or done before the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250224010624.GT1977892@ZenIV/ [1] * tag 'pull-dcache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (21 commits) configfs: use DCACHE_DONTCACHE debugfs: use DCACHE_DONTCACHE efivarfs: use DCACHE_DONTCACHE instead of always_delete_dentry() 9p: don't bother with always_delete_dentry ramfs, hugetlbfs, mqueue: set DCACHE_DONTCACHE kill simple_dentry_operations devpts, sunrpc, hostfs: don't bother with ->d_op shmem: no dentry retention past the refcount reaching zero d_alloc_parallel(): set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP earlier make d_set_d_op() static simple_lookup(): just set DCACHE_DONTCACHE tracefs: Add d_delete to remove negative dentries set_default_d_op(): calculate the matching value for ->d_flags correct the set of flags forbidden at d_set_d_op() time split d_flags calculation out of d_set_d_op() new helper: set_default_d_op() fuse: no need for special dentry_operations for root dentry switch procfs from d_set_d_op() to d_splice_alias_ops() new helper: d_splice_alias_ops() procfs: kill ->proc_dops ...
