2025-08-05smb: client: smb: client: eliminate mid_flags fieldWang Zhaolong
This is step 3/4 of a patch series to fix mid_q_entry memory leaks caused by race conditions in callback execution. Replace the mid_flags bitmask with dedicated boolean fields to simplify locking logic and improve code readability: - Replace MID_DELETED with bool deleted_from_q - Replace MID_WAIT_CANCELLED with bool wait_cancelled - Remove mid_flags field entirely The new boolean fields have clearer semantics: - deleted_from_q: whether mid has been removed from pending_mid_q - wait_cancelled: whether request was cancelled during wait This change reduces memory usage (from 4-byte bitmask to 2 boolean flags) and eliminates confusion about which lock protects which flag bits, preparing for per-mid locking in the next patch.

2025-08-05smb: client: add mid_counter_lock to protect the mid counter counterWang Zhaolong
This is step 2/4 of a patch series to fix mid_q_entry memory leaks caused by race conditions in callback execution. Add a dedicated mid_counter_lock to protect current_mid counter, separating it from mid_queue_lock which protects pending_mid_q operations. This reduces lock contention and prepares for finer- grained locking in subsequent patches. Changes: - Add TCP_Server_Info->mid_counter_lock spinlock - Rename CurrentMid to current_mid for consistency - Use mid_counter_lock to protect current_mid access - Update locking documentation in cifsglob.h This separation allows mid allocation to proceed without blocking queue operations, improving performance under heavy load.

2025-08-05smb: client: rename server mid_lock to mid_queue_lockWang Zhaolong
This is step 1/4 of a patch series to fix mid_q_entry memory leaks caused by race conditions in callback execution. The current mid_lock name is somewhat ambiguous about what it protects. To prepare for splitting this lock into separate, more granular locks, this patch renames mid_lock to mid_queue_lock to clearly indicate its specific responsibility for protecting the pending_mid_q list and related queue operations. No functional changes are made in this patch - it only prepares the codebase for the lock splitting that follows. - mid_queue_lock for queue operations - mid_counter_lock for mid counter operations - per-mid locks for individual mid state management Signed-off-by: Wang Zhaolong <wangzhaolong@huaweicloud.com> Acked-by: Enzo Matsumiya <ematsumiya@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>
2025-08-05nfsd: avoid ref leak in nfsd_open_local_fh()NeilBrown
If two calls to nfsd_open_local_fh() race and both successfully call nfsd_file_acquire_local(), they will both get an extra reference to the net to accompany the file reference stored in *pnf. One of them will fail to store (using xchg()) the file reference in *pnf and will drop that reference but WON'T drop the accompanying reference to the net. This leak means that when the nfs server is shut down it will hang in nfsd_shutdown_net() waiting for &nn->nfsd_net_free_done. This patch adds the missing nfsd_net_put().

2025-08-05nfsd: don't set the ctime on delegated atime updatesJeff Layton
Clients will typically precede a DELEGRETURN for a delegation with delegated timestamp with a SETATTR to set the timestamps on the server to match what the client has. knfsd implements this by using the nfsd_setattr() infrastructure, which will set ATTR_CTIME on any update that goes to notify_change(). This is problematic as it means that the client will get a spurious ctime update when updating the atime. POSIX unfortunately doesn't phrase it succinctly, but updating the atime due to reads should not update the ctime. In this case, the client is sending a SETATTR to update the atime on the server to match its latest value. The ctime should not be advanced in this case as that would incorrectly indicate a change to the inode. Fix this by not implicitly setting ATTR_CTIME when ATTR_DELEG is set in __nfsd_setattr(). The decoder for FATTR4_WORD2_TIME_DELEG_MODIFY already sets ATTR_CTIME, so this is sufficient to make it skip setting the ctime on atime-only updates.

The usage of read_seqbegin_or_lock() in nfs_copy_boot_verifier() is wrong. "seq" is always even and thus "or_lock" has no effect. nfs_copy_boot_verifier() just copies 8 bytes and is supposed to be very rare operation, so we do not need the adaptive locking in this case.

The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian) does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

2025-07-31smb3 client: add way to show directory leases for improved debuggingSteve French
When looking at performance issues around directory caching, or debugging directory lease issues, it is helpful to be able to display the current directory leases (as we can e.g. or open files). Create pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/open_dirs that displays current directory leases. Here is sample output: cat /proc/fs/cifs/open_dirs Version:1 Format: <tree id> <sess id> <persistent fid> <path> Num entries: 3 0xce4c1c68 0x7176aa54 0xd95ef58e \dira valid file info, valid dirents 0xce4c1c68 0x7176aa54 0xd031e211 \dir5 valid file info, valid dirents 0xce4c1c68 0x7176aa54 0x96533a90 \dir1 valid file info Reviewed-by: Bharath SM <bharathsm@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>

In dbAllocCtl(), read_metapage() increases the reference count of the metapage. However, when dp->tree.budmin < 0, the function returns -EIO without calling release_metapage() to decrease the reference count, leading to a memory leak. Add release_metapage(mp) before the error return to properly manage the metapage reference count and prevent the leak.

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 ...

2025-07-28fuse: 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 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 pidfs updates from Christian Brauner: - persistent info Persist exit and coredump information independent of whether anyone currently holds a pidfd for the struct pid. The current scheme allocated pidfs dentries on-demand repeatedly. 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 ...

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.
