Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.
Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.
Core:
- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.
- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.
- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.
- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.
- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.
- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.
- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.
- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.
Netfilter:
- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption
- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.
- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.
- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.
BPF:
- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.
- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.
- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.
- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.
- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.
Protocols:
- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.
- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.
- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.
- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.
- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.
- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.
- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.
- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.
- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.
- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.
- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.
- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.
Tests and tooling:
- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase
Drivers:
- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.
- Ethernet high-speed NICs:

"Another moderately busy cycle in docsland:
- Work on Chinese translations has picked up again. Happily, they are
maintaining the existing translations and not just adding new ones.
- Some maintenance of the Japanese and Italian translations as well.
- The removal of the venerable "dontdiff" file. It has long outlived

actively mask actual source change.
- The addition of enforcement information to the code-of-conduct
documentation.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux
Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"SRCU:
- Introduction of the new SRCU-lite flavour with a new pair of
srcu_read_[un]lock_lite() APIs. In practice the read side using
this flavour becomes lighter by removing a full memory barrier on
LOCK and a full memory barrier on UNLOCK. This comes at the expense
of a higher latency write side with two (in the best case of a
snaphot of unused read-sides) or more RCU grace periods on the
update side which now assumes by itself the whole full ordering
guarantee against the LOCK/UNLOCK counters on both indexes, along
with the accesses performed inside.
Uretprobes is a known potential user.
Note this doesn't replace the default normal flavour of SRCU which
still behaves the same as usual.
- Add testing of SRCU-lite through rcutorture and rcuscale
- Various cleanups on the way.
Fixes:
- Allow short-circuiting RCU-TASKS-RUDE grace periods on
architectures that have sane noinstr boundaries forbidding tracing
on low-level idle and kernel entry code. RCU-TASKS is enough on
such configurations because it involves an RCU grace period that
waits for all idle tasks to either schedule out voluntarily or
enter into RCU unwatched noinstr code.
- Allow and test start_poll_synchronize_rcu() with IRQs disabled.
- Mention rcuog kthreads in relevant documentation and Kconfig help
- Various fixes and consolidations
rcutorture:
- Add --no-affinity on tools to leave the affinity setting of guests
up to the user.
- Add guest_os_delay parameter to rcuscale for better warm-up
control.
- Fix and improve some rcuscale error handling.
- Various cleanups and fixes
stall:
- Remove dead code
- Stop dumping tasks if a stalled grace period eventually ended
midway as that only produces confusing output.
- Optimize detection of stalling CPUs and avoid useless node locking
otherwise.
NOCB:
- Fix rcu_barrier() hang due to a race against callbacks
deoffloading. This is not yet used, except by rcutorture, and waits
for its promised cpusets interface.
- Remove leftover function declaration"

- In-kernel use of the memcpy instructions, FEAT_MOPS (previously
only exposed to user; uaccess support not merged yet)
- MTE: hugetlbfs support and the corresponding kselftests
- Optimise CRC32 using the PMULL instructions
- Support for FEAT_HAFT enabling ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG
- Optimise the kernel TLB flushing to use the range operations

control
- Switch back to platform_driver::remove() now that it returns
'void'
- Add some missing events for the CXL PMU driver
- Miscellaneous arm64 fixes/cleanups:
- Page table accessors cleanup: type updates, drop unused macros,
reorganise arch_make_huge_pte() and clean up pte_mkcont(), sanity
check addresses before runtime P4D/PUD folding
- Command line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV (advertising the
FEAT_ECV for the generic timers) allowing Linux to boot with
firmware deployments that don't set SCTLR_EL3.ECVEn
- ACPI/arm64: tighten the check for the array of platform timer
structures and adjust the error handling procedure in
gtdt_parse_timer_block()

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Fixup and improve NLM and kNFSD file lock callbacks
Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their
locking more robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of
that work caused both NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for
NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send lock notifications to clients
This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will
still poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock
It's important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their
kernel threads inside filesystem's file_lock implementations
because that can produce deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by
only trusting that posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking
lock calls asynchronously, so the lock managers would only setup
their file_lock requests for async callbacks if the filesystem did
not define its own lock() file operation
However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly
handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started
signalling this behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check
for also trusting posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so
now most filesystems no longer produce lock notifications when
exported over NFS
Fix this by using an fop_flag which greatly simplifies the problem
and grooms the way for future uses by both filesystems and lock
managers alike
- Add a sysctl to delete the dentry when a file is removed instead of
making it a negative dentry
Commit 681ce8623567 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the
associated dentry when a file is removed. However, this led to
performance regressions in specific benchmarks, such as
ilebench.sum_operations/s, prompting a revert in commit
4a4be1ad3a6e ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file""). This reintroduces the concept conditionally
through a sysctl
- Expand the statmount() system call:
* Report the filesystem subtype in a new fs_subtype field to
e.g., report fuse filesystem subtypes
* Report the superblock source in a new sb_source field
* Add a new way to return filesystem specific mount options in an
option array that returns filesystem specific mount options
separated by zero bytes and unescaped. This allows caller's to
retrieve filesystem specific mount options and immediately pass
them to e.g., fsconfig() without having to unescape or split
them
* Report security (LSM) specific mount options in a separate
security option array. We don't lump them together with
filesystem specific mount options as security mount options are
generic and most users aren't interested in them
The format is the same as for the filesystem specific mount
option array
- Support relative paths in fsconfig()'s FSCONFIG_SET_STRING command
- Optimize acl_permission_check() to avoid costly {g,u}id ownership
checks if possible
- Use smp_mb__after_spinlock() to avoid full smp_mb() in evict()
- Add synchronous wakeup support for ep_poll_callback.
Currently, epoll only uses wake_up() to wake up task. But sometimes
there are epoll users which want to use the synchronous wakeup flag
to give a hint to the scheduler, e.g., the Android binder driver.
So add a wake_up_sync() define, and use wake_up_sync() when sync is
true in ep_poll_callback()
Fixes:
- Fix kernel documentation for inode_insert5() and iget5_locked()
- Annotate racy epoll check on file->f_ep
- Make F_DUPFD_QUERY associative
- Avoid filename buffer overrun in initramfs
- Don't let statmount() return empty strings
- Add a cond_resched() to dump_user_range() to avoid hogging the CPU
- Don't query the device logical blocksize multiple times for hfsplus
- Make filemap_read() check that the offset is positive or zero
Cleanups:
- Various typo fixes
- Cleanup wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode()
- Add __releases annotation to wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode()
- Add hugetlbfs tracepoints
- Fix various vfs kernel doc parameters
- Remove obsolete TODO comment from io_cancel()
- Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio
- Fix comments for BANDWITH_INTERVAL and wb_domain_writeout_add()
- Reorder struct posix_acl to save 8 bytes
- Annotate struct posix_acl with __counted_by()
- Replace one-element array with flexible array member in freevxfs
- Use idiomatic atomic64_inc_return() in alloc_mnt_ns()"

This patch introduces a new counter to memory.stat that tracks hugeTLB
usage, only if hugeTLB accounting is done to memory.current. This feature
is enabled the same way hugeTLB accounting is enabled, via the
memory_hugetlb_accounting mount flag for cgroupsv2.
1. Why is this patch necessary?
Currently, memcg hugeTLB accounting is an opt-in feature [1] that adds
hugeTLB usage to memory.current. However, the metric is not reported in
memory.stat. Given that users often interpret memory.stat as a breakdown
of the value reported in memory.current, the disparity between the two
reports can be confusing. This patch solves this problem by including the
metric in memory.stat as well, but only if it is also reported in
memory.current (it would also be confusing if the value was reported in
memory.stat, but not in memory.current)
Aside from the consistency between the two files, we also see benefits in
observability. Userspace might be interested in the hugeTLB footprint of
cgroups for many reasons. For instance, system admins might want to
verify that hugeTLB usage is distributed as expected across tasks: i.e.
memory-intensive tasks are using more hugeTLB pages than tasks that don't
consume a lot of memory, or are seen to fault frequently. Note that this
is separate from wanting to inspect the distribution for limiting purposes
(in which case, hugeTLB controller makes more sense).
2. We already have a hugeTLB controller. Why not use that?
It is true that hugeTLB tracks the exact value that we want. In fact, by
enabling the hugeTLB controller, we get all of the observability benefits
that I mentioned above, and users can check the total hugeTLB usage,
verify if it is distributed as expected, etc.
With this said, there are 2 problems:
(a) They are still not reported in memory.stat, which means the
disparity between the memcg reports are still there.
(b) We cannot reasonably expect users to enable the hugeTLB controller
just for the sake of hugeTLB usage reporting, especially since
they don't have any use for hugeTLB usage enforcing [2].
3. Implementation Details:
In the alloc / free hugetlb functions, we call lruvec_stat_mod_folio
regardless of whether memcg accounts hugetlb. mem_cgroup_commit_charge
which is called from alloc_hugetlb_folio will set memcg for the folio only
if the CGRP_ROOT_MEMORY_HUGETLB_ACCOUNTING cgroup mount option is used, so
lruvec_stat_mod_folio accounts per-memcg hugetlb counters only if the
feature is enabled. Regardless of whether memcg accounts for hugetlb, the
newly added global counter is updated and shown in /proc/vmstat.
The global counter is added because vmstats is the preferred framework for
cgroup stats. It makes stat items consistent between global and cgroups.
It also provides a per-node breakdown, which is useful. Because it does
not use cgroup-specific hooks, we also keep generic MM code separate from
memcg code.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231006184629.155543-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
[2] Of course, we can't make a new patch for every feature that can be
duplicated. However, since the existing solution of enabling the
hugeTLB controller is an imperfect solution that still leaves a
discrepancy between memory.stat and memory.curent, I think that it
is reasonable to isolate the feature in this case.

The initial HMAC session feature added TPM bus encryption and/or integrity
protection to various in-kernel TPM operations. This can cause performance
bottlenecks with IMA, as it heavily utilizes PCR extend operations.
In order to mitigate this performance issue, introduce a kernel
command-line parameter to the TPM driver for disabling the integrity
protection for PCR extend operations (i.e. TPM2_PCR_Extend).

Introduce a fault injection mechanism to force skb reallocation. The
primary goal is to catch bugs related to pointer invalidation after
potential skb reallocation.
The fault injection mechanism aims to identify scenarios where callers
retain pointers to various headers in the skb but fail to reload these
pointers after calling a function that may reallocate the data. This
type of bug can lead to memory corruption or crashes if the old,
now-invalid pointers are used.
By forcing reallocation through fault injection, we can stress-test code
paths and ensure proper pointer management after potential skb
reallocations.
Add a hook for fault injection in the following functions:
* pskb_trim_rcsum()
* pskb_may_pull_reason()
* pskb_trim()
As the other fault injection mechanism, protect it under a debug Kconfig
called CONFIG_FAIL_SKB_REALLOC.
This patch was *heavily* inspired by Jakub's proposal from:

Add the ``thp_shmem=`` kernel command line to allow specifying the default
policy of each supported shmem hugepage size. The kernel parameter
accepts the following format:
thp_shmem=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<policy>;<size>[KMG]-<size>[KMG]:<policy>
For example,
thp_shmem=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:advise;1M-2M:never;4M-8M:within_size
Some GPUs may benefit from using huge pages. Since DRM GEM uses shmem to
allocate anonymous pageable memory, it's essential to control the huge
page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount. This control can be
achieved through the ``transparent_hugepage_shmem=`` parameter.
Beyond just setting the allocation policy, it's crucial to have granular
control over the size of huge pages that can be allocated. The GPU may
support only specific huge page sizes, and allocating pages larger/smaller
than those sizes would be ineffective.

Patch series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP", v5.
This series introduces four patches related to the kernel parameters
controlling mTHP and a fifth patch replacing `strcpy()` for `strscpy()` in
the file `mm/huge_memory.c`.
The first patch is a straightforward documentation update, correcting the
format of the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``.
The second, third, and fourth patches focus on controlling THP support for
shmem via the kernel command line. The second patch introduces a
parameter to control the global default huge page allocation policy for
the internal shmem mount. The third patch moves a piece of code to a
shared header to ease the implementation of the fourth patch. Finally,
the fourth patch implements a parameter similar to ``thp_anon=``, but for
shmem.
The goal of these changes is to simplify the configuration of systems that
rely on mTHP support for shmem. For instance, a platform with a GPU that
benefits from huge pages may want to enable huge pages for shmem. Having
these kernel parameters streamlines the configuration process and ensures
consistency across setups.
This patch (of 4):
Add a new kernel command line to control the hugepage allocation policy
for the internal shmem mount, ``transparent_hugepage_shmem``. The
parameter is similar to ``transparent_hugepage`` and has the following
format:
transparent_hugepage_shmem=<policy>
where ``<policy>`` is one of the seven valid policies available for
shmem.
Configuring the default huge page allocation policy for the internal
shmem mount can be beneficial for DRM GPU drivers. Just as CPU
architectures, GPUs can also take advantage of huge pages, but this is
possible only if DRM GEM objects are backed by huge pages.
Since GEM uses shmem to allocate anonymous pageable memory, having control
over the default huge page allocation policy allows for the exploration of
huge pages use on GPUs that rely on GEM objects backed by shmem.

This helps profile the sizes of folios being swapped in. Currently,
only mTHP swap-out is being counted.
The new interface can be found at:

Added a new MTHP_STAT_ZSWPOUT entry to the sysfs transparent_hugepage
stats so that successful large folio zswap stores can be accounted under
the per-order sysfs "zswpout" stats:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*kB/stats/zswpout
Other non-zswap swap device swap-out events will be counted under
the existing sysfs "swpout" stats:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*kB/stats/swpout
Also, added documentation for the newly added sysfs per-order hugepage
"zswpout" stats. The documentation clarifies that only non-zswap swapouts
will be accounted in the existing "swpout" stats.

When the proportion of folios from the zeromap is small, missing their
accounting may not significantly impact profiling. However, it's easy to
construct a scenario where this becomes an issue—for example, allocating
1 GB of memory, writing zeros from userspace, followed by MADV_PAGEOUT,
and then swapping it back in. In this case, the swap-out and swap-in
counts seem to vanish into a black hole, potentially causing semantic
ambiguity.
On the other hand, Usama reported that zero-filled pages can exceed 10% in
workloads utilizing zswap, while Hailong noted that some app in Android
have more than 6% zero-filled pages. Before commit 0ca0c24e3211 ("mm:
store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap"), both zswap and zRAM
implemented similar optimizations, leading to these optimized-out pages
being counted in either zswap or zRAM counters (with pswpin/pswpout also
increasing for zRAM). With zeromap functioning prior to both zswap and
zRAM, userspace will no longer detect these swap-out and swap-in actions.
We have three ways to address this:
1. Introduce a dedicated counter specifically for the zeromap.
2. Use pswpin/pswpout accounting, treating the zero map as a standard
backend. This approach aligns with zRAM's current handling of
same-page fills at the device level. However, it would mean losing the
optimized-out page counters previously available in zRAM and would not
align with systems using zswap. Additionally, as noted by Nhat Pham,
pswpin/pswpout counters apply only to I/O done directly to the backend
device.
3. Count zeromap pages under zswap, aligning with system behavior when
zswap is enabled. However, this would not be consistent with zRAM, nor
would it align with systems lacking both zswap and zRAM.
Given the complications with options 2 and 3, this patch selects
option 1.
We can find these counters from /proc/vmstat (counters for the whole
system) and memcg's memory.stat (counters for the interested memcg).
For example:
$ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /proc/vmstat
swpin_zero 1648
swpout_zero 33536
$ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.stat
swpin_zero 3905
swpout_zero 3985
This patch does not address any specific zeromap bug, but the missing
swpout and swpin counts for zero-filled pages can be highly confusing and
may mislead user-space agents that rely on changes in these counters as
indicators. Therefore, we add a Fixes tag to encourage the inclusion of
this counter in any kernel versions with zeromap.
Many thanks to Kanchana for the contribution of changing
count_objcg_event() to count_objcg_events() to support large folios[1],
which has now been incorporated into this patch.

If we add ``thp_anon=32,64K:always`` to the kernel command line, we
will see the following error:
[ 0.000000] huge_memory: thp_anon=32,64K:always: error parsing string, ignoring setting
This happens because the correct format isn't ``thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<state>```,
as [KMG] must follow each number to especify its unit. So, the correct
format is ``thp_anon=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<state>```.
Therefore, adjust the documentation to reflect the correct format of the
parameter ``thp_anon=``.

Patch series "memcg-v1: fully deprecate charge moving".
The memcg v1's charge moving feature has been deprecated for almost 2
years and the kernel warns if someone try to use it. This warning has
been backported to all stable kernel and there have not been any report of
the warning or the request to support this feature anymore. Let's proceed
to fully deprecate this feature.
This patch (of 6):
Proceed with the complete deprecation of memcg v1's charge moving feature.
The deprecation warning has been in the kernel for almost two years and
has been ported to all stable kernel since. Now is the time to fully
deprecate this feature.

Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots during processing,
which makes things too complex wrt possible race-conditions. We still
want to clear PP_SLOT in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that
slot that was selected for post-processing has been released under us and
when we start post-processing we check if slot still has PP_SLOT set. At
the same time, theoretically, we can have something like this:
CPU0 CPU1
recompress
scan slots
set PP_SLOT
unlock slot
slot_free
clear PP_SLOT
allocate PP_SLOT
writeback
scan slots
set PP_SLOT
unlock slot
select PP-slot
test PP_SLOT
So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used and re-selected
for concurrent writeback post-processing.
Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation at a time. So
now recompress and writeback post-processing don't race against each
other, we only need to handle slot re-use (slot_free and write), which is
handled individually by each pp operation.
Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots is not
exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).

The old SLAB allocator used to support memory policies on a per
allocation bases. In SLUB the memory policies are applied on a
per page frame / folio bases. Doing so avoids having to check memory
policies in critical code paths for kmalloc and friends.
This worked on general well on Intel/AMD/PowerPC because the
interconnect technology is mature and can minimize the latencies
through intelligent caching even if a small object is not
placed optimally.
However, on ARM we have an emergence of new NUMA interconnect
technology based more on embedded devices. Caching of remote content
can currently be ineffective using the standard building blocks / mesh
available on that platform. Such architectures benefit if each slab
object is individually placed according to memory policies
and other restrictions.
This patch adds another kernel parameter
slab_strict_numa
If that is set then a static branch is activated that will cause
the hotpaths of the allocator to evaluate the current memory
allocation policy. Each object will be properly placed by
paying the price of extra processing and SLUB will no longer
defer to the page allocator to apply memory policies at the
folio level.
This patch improves performance of memcached running
on Ampere Altra 2P system (ARM Neoverse N1 processor)
by 3.6% due to accurate placement of small kernel objects.

PCI Express Interface PMU includes various performance counters
to monitor the data that is transmitted over the PCIe link. The
counters track various inbound and outbound transactions which
includes separate counters for posted/non-posted/completion TLPs.
Also, inbound and outbound memory read requests along with their
latencies can also be monitored. Address Translation Services(ATS)events
such as ATS Translation, ATS Page Request, ATS Invalidation along with
their corresponding latencies are also supported.
The performance counters are 64 bits wide.
For instance,
perf stat -e ib_tlp_pr <workload>
tracks the inbound posted TLPs for the workload.

Most of the callers of wbc_account_cgroup_owner() are converting a folio
to page before calling the function. wbc_account_cgroup_owner() is
converting the page back to a folio to call mem_cgroup_css_from_folio().
Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio instead of a page,
and convert all callers to pass a folio directly except f2fs.
Convert the page to folio for all the callers from f2fs as they were the
only callers calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a page. As f2fs is
already in the process of converting to folios, these call sites might
also soon be calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a folio directly in
the future.
No functional changes. Only compile tested.

Introduce the capability to dynamically configure the max pages limit
(FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES) through a sysctl. This allows system administrators
to dynamically set the maximum number of pages that can be used for
servicing requests in fuse.
Previously, this is gated by FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES which is statically set
to 256 pages. One result of this is that the buffer size for a write
request is limited to 1 MiB on a 4k-page system.
The default value for this sysctl is the original limit (256 pages).
$ sysctl -a | grep max_pages_limit
fs.fuse.max_pages_limit = 256
$ sysctl -n fs.fuse.max_pages_limit
256
$ echo 1024 | sudo tee /proc/sys/fs/fuse/max_pages_limit

Commit 681ce8623567 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when deleting a
file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the associated dentry when a
file is removed. However, this led to performance regressions in specific
benchmarks, such as ilebench.sum_operations/s [0], prompting a revert in
commit 4a4be1ad3a6e ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file"").
This patch seeks to reintroduce the concept conditionally, where the
associated dentry is deleted only when the user explicitly opts for it
during file removal. A new sysctl fs.automated_deletion_of_dentry is
added for this purpose. Its default value is set to 0.
There are practical use cases for this proactive dentry reclamation.
Besides the Elasticsearch use case mentioned in commit 681ce8623567,
additional examples have surfaced in our production environment. For
instance, in video rendering services that continuously generate temporary
files, upload them to persistent storage servers, and then delete them, a
large number of negative dentries—serving no useful purpose—accumulate.
Users in such cases would benefit from proactively reclaiming these
negative dentries.

There were two changes related to transition latency recently.
Namely commit e13aa799c2a6 ("cpufreq: Change default transition delay
to 2ms") and
commit 37c6dccd6837 ("cpufreq: Remove LATENCY_MULTIPLIER").
Both changed the defaults / maximums so let the documentation
reflect that.

The current policy management makes it impossible to use IPE
in a general purpose distribution. In such cases the users are not
building the kernel, the distribution is, and access to the private
key included in the trusted keyring is, for obvious reason, not
available.
This means that users have no way to enable IPE, since there will
be no built-in generic policy, and no access to the key to sign
updates validated by the trusted keyring.
Just as we do for dm-verity, kernel modules and more, allow the
secondary and platform keyrings to also validate policies. This
allows users enrolling their own keys in UEFI db or MOK to also
sign policies, and enroll them. This makes it sensible to enable
IPE in general purpose distributions, as it becomes usable by
any user wishing to do so. Keys in these keyrings can already
load kernels and kernel modules, so there is no security
downgrade.
Add a kconfig each, like dm-verity does, but default to enabled if
the dependencies are available.

Currently IPE accepts an update that has the same version as the policy
being updated, but it doesn't make it a no-op nor it checks that the
old and new policyes are the same. So it is possible to change the
content of a policy, without changing its version. This is very
confusing from userspace when managing policies.
Instead change the update logic to reject updates that have the same
version with ESTALE, as that is much clearer and intuitive behaviour.

At the 2024 Linux Plumbers Conference, I was talking with Hans de Goede
about the persistent buffer to display traces from previous boots. He
mentioned that UEFI can clear memory. In my own tests I have not seen
this. He later informed me that it requires the config option:
CONFIG_RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION
It appears that setting this will allow the memory to be cleared on boot
up, which will definitely clear out the trace of the previous boot.
Add this information under the trace_instance in kernel-parameters.txt
to let people know that this can cause issues.

Add a kernel parameter to work-around discrepancies between hardware
and platform firmware, it's not unusual to see e.g. 38.4MHz listed in
_DSD properties as the SoundWire clock source, but the hardware may be
based on a 19.2 MHz mclk source.

The omap4 camera driver has seen no progress since forever, and
now OMAP4 support has also been dropped from u-boot (1). So it is

Add support for PCIe TLP Processing Hints (TPH) support (see PCIe r6.2,
sec 6.17).
Add TPH register definitions in pci_regs.h, including the TPH Requester
capability register, TPH Requester control register, TPH Completer
capability, and the ST fields of MSI-X entry.
Introduce pcie_enable_tph() and pcie_disable_tph(), enabling drivers to
toggle TPH support and configure specific ST mode as needed. Also add a new
kernel parameter, "pci=notph", allowing users to disable TPH support across
the entire system.

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"x86:
- KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
deleted.
This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.
Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
behavior.
- Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
"real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)
- Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs
This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)
- Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,
whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR
offset
- Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was
triggered by a fastpath exit handler
- Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the
guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the
exit
- Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with
invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to
signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the
nested guest)
- Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify
cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry
paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop
- Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping
rmaps in the shadow MMU
- Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in
prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM
- Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is
enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB
- Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve
readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area
- Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related
allocations
- Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if
and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no
guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata
is nonsensical
- Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit
instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2
- Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12
structures
- Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref
(really truly should be impossible)
- Minor SGX fix and a cleanup
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling
virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks
is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed
- Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the
first VM is created
Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic
of the callbacks, because their very existence implies
virtualization is enabled
- Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for
coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and
add a testcase
- Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer
overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully
is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in
more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs
Selftests:
- Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on
bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM
- Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES
guest
- Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore. Past Sean was
completely wrong about not being able to detect missing .gitignore
entries
- Verify userspace single-stepping works when KVM happens to handle a
VM-Exit in its fastpath
- Misc cleanups"
