Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems. Features: - Kernel Credential Guards Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials only to drop them again later. The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in callers. - Generic Credential Guards Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free. - Prepare Credential Guards Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current credentials with them: - prepare_creds() - modify new creds - override_creds() - revert_creds() - put_cred() Cleanups: - Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed - Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials - Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago - coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner credential handling - coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup() - coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const - coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const - sev-dev: use guard for path" * tag 'kernel-6.19-rc1.cred' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (36 commits) trace: use override credential guard trace: use prepare credential guard coredump: use override credential guard coredump: use prepare credential guard coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup() sev-dev: use override credential guards sev-dev: use prepare credential guard sev-dev: use guard for path cred: add prepare credential guard net/dns_resolver: use credential guards in dns_query() cgroup: use credential guards in cgroup_attach_permissions() act: use credential guards in acct_write_process() smb: use credential guards in cifs_get_spnego_key() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_idmap_get_key() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_write() nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_read() erofs: use credential guards ...

null_blk: set dma alignment to logical block size

2025-10-31T15:03:12Z

This driver assumes that bio vectors are memory aligned to the logical block size, so set the queue limit to reflect that. Unless we set up the limit based on the logical block size, we will go out of page bounds in copy_to_nullb / copy_from_nullb. Apparently this wasn't noticed so far because none of the tests generate such buffers, but since commit 851c4c96db00 ("xfs: implement XFS_IOC_DIOINFO in terms of vfs_getattr") xfstests generates unaligned I/O, which now lead to memory corruption when using null_blk devices with 4k block size.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: - Fix dma alignment for PI - Fix selinux bogosity with nbd, where sendmsg would get rejected * tag 'block-6.18-20251023' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: block: require LBA dma_alignment when using PI nbd: override creds to kernel when calling sock_{send,recv}msg()

nbd: override creds to kernel when calling sock_{send,recv}msg()

2025-10-20T15:27:58Z

sock_{send,recv}msg() internally calls security_socket_{send,recv}msg(), which does security checks (e.g. SELinux) for socket access against the current task. However, _sock_xmit() in drivers/block/nbd.c may be called indirectly from a userspace syscall, where the NBD socket access would be incorrectly checked against the calling userspace task (which simply tries to read/write a file that happens to reside on an NBD device). To fix this, temporarily override creds to kernel ones before calling the sock_*() functions. This allows the security modules to recognize this as internal access by the kernel, which will normally be allowed. A way to trigger the issue is to do the following (on a system with SELinux set to enforcing): ### Create nbd device: truncate -s 256M /tmp/testfile nbd-server localhost:10809 /tmp/testfile ### Connect to the nbd server: nbd-client localhost ### Create mdraid array mdadm --create -l 1 -n 2 /dev/md/testarray /dev/nbd0 missing After these steps, assuming the SELinux policy doesn't allow the unexpected access pattern, errors will be visible on the kernel console: [ 142.204243] nbd0: detected capacity change from 0 to 524288 [ 165.189967] md: async del_gendisk mode will be removed in future, please upgrade to mdadm-4.5+ [ 165.252299] md/raid1:md127: active with 1 out of 2 mirrors [ 165.252725] md127: detected capacity change from 0 to 522240 [ 165.255434] block nbd0: Send control failed (result -13) [ 165.255718] block nbd0: Request send failed, requeueing [ 165.256006] block nbd0: Dead connection, failed to find a fallback [ 165.256041] block nbd0: Receive control failed (result -32) [ 165.256423] block nbd0: shutting down sockets [ 165.257196] I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2048 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [ 165.257736] Buffer I/O error on dev md127, logical block 0, async page read [ 165.258263] I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2048 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [ 165.259376] Buffer I/O error on dev md127, logical block 0, async page read [ 165.259920] I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2048 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [ 165.260628] Buffer I/O error on dev md127, logical block 0, async page read [ 165.261661] ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed.
