By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...
2026-08-10fbdev: core: Clamp total_size to smem_len in read/write functionsMingyu Wang2-0/+32
Some legacy fbdev drivers may incorrectly set info->screen_size to a value larger than the actual mapped framebuffer size (info->fix.smem_len) during mode switches. This could allow out-of-bounds I/O and system memory accesses in fb_io_read(), fb_io_write(), fb_sys_read(), and fb_sys_write(). Prevent this by clamping total_size to smem_len when smem_len is non-zero. Virtual framebuffers (smem_len == 0) are unaffected. This is a hardening measure; no specific crash is fixed by this patch.

2026-08-08fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_cursor()Rik van Riel1-2/+7
bit_cursor() fetches the glyph under the cursor with c = scr_readw(vc_pos); src = vc_font.data + ((c & charmask) * w * height); where charmask is 0x1ff when vc_hi_font_mask is set. The screen buffer value comes directly from scr_readw() and may be larger than the current font's glyph count. Syzkaller triggers this via vcs_write(). The Call Trace shows vcs_write() in vc_screen.c writing an arbitrary 16-bit value with writev() to /dev/vcsa, which vcs_write_buf() in vc_screen.c stores via vcs_scr_writew() without checking charcount. The stored value is later read in bit_cursor() in bitblit.c. When the font is changed from a font with 512 glyphs to a font with 256 glyphs, the screen buffer can retain characters with the high bit set from the previous mode, which could also produce the same out-of-bounds access. BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in soft_cursor+0x378/0x6bc drivers/video/fbdev/core/softcursor.c:70 Read of size 16 at addr ffff800086c57970 Call Trace: soft_cursor+0x378/0x6bc drivers/video/fbdev/core/softcursor.c:70 bit_cursor+0xa90/0x1108 drivers/video/fbdev/core/bitblit.c:365 fbcon_cursor+0x344/0x498 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:1427 hide_cursor+0xdc/0x2d0 drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:883 update_region+0x100/0x18c drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:669 vcs_write+0x8ec/0xaf0 drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c:685 bit_putcs_aligned() and bit_putcs_unaligned() already clamp the glyph index to vc_font.charcount. Apply the same clamp in bit_cursor() after extracting the attribute and masking, before indexing fontdata. The fix completes the bounds checking started in commit 18c4ef4e765a ("fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_putcs*"), which missed the cursor path. This change should be safe because the clamp reuses the existing contract from fbcon: charcount is maintained under console_lock in con_font_set() and fbcon_font_set(), and hi_font_mask is cleared when switching from 512 to 256 glyphs. When stale screen data with high bits remains after a font switch, or when vcs_write() stores an arbitrary value, clamping the index to 0 prevents the out-of-bounds read without changing cursor semantics — the same fallback bit_putcs uses.

2026-08-08fbdev: Fix out-of-bounds access when rotating console after font resizeZizhi Wo1-0/+25
[BUG] Recently, we encountered a KASAN warning as follows: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ccw_putcs+0x8bd/0xa80 Read of size 1 at addr ff11000110067100 by task bash/1209 CPU: 10 UID: 0 PID: 1209 Comm: bash Not tainted 7.2.0-rc3 #69 PREEMPT(full) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.17.0-4.fc41 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> ... kasan_report+0xf0/0x120 ? ccw_putcs+0x8bd/0xa80 ccw_putcs+0x8bd/0xa80 ? __pfx_ccw_putcs+0x10/0x10 fbcon_putcs+0x338/0x410 ? __pfx_ccw_putcs+0x10/0x10 do_update_region+0x21d/0x450 invert_screen+0x29d/0x5e0 ? __kmalloc_noprof+0x493/0x640 ? vc_do_resize+0x17c/0xe50 clear_selection+0x4c/0x60 vc_do_resize+0xaee/0xe50 fbcon_modechanged+0x2bd/0x640 rotate_all_store+0x298/0x380 ... reproduce: 1) issue two ioctls: first a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET, op.width = 1 and op.height = 1, then a TIOCL_SETSEL ioctl 2) echo 2 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all 3) issue two ioctls: first a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET, op.width = 8 and op.height = 1, then a TIOCL_SETSEL ioctl 4) echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all [CAUSE] The root cause is that fbcon_modechanged() first sets the current rotate's corresponding ops. Subsequently, during vc_resize(), it may trigger clear_selection(), and in fbcon_putcs->ccw_putcs[rotate=3], this can result in an out-of-bounds access to "src". This happens because par->rotated.buf is reallocated in fbcon_rotate_font(): 1) When rotate=2, its size is (width + 7) / 8 * height 2) When rotate=3, its size is (height + 7) / 8 * width And the call to fbcon_rotate_font() occurs after clear_selection(). In other words, the fontbuffer is allocated using the size calculated from the previous rotation 2, but before reallocating it with the new size, con_putcs is already using the new rotation 3: rotate_all_store fbcon_rotate_all fbcon_set_all_vcs fbcon_modechanged set_blitting_type ... par->bitops = &ccw_fbcon_bitops vc_resize ... clear_selection highlight ... do_update_region fbcon_putcs ... image.dy = vyres - ((xx + count) * vc->vc_font.width) [1] // overflow! ccw_putcs_aligned // old buf size is still being used during the read! src = par->rotated.buf + (scr_readw(s--) & charmask) * cellsize fb_pad_aligned_buffer----[src KASAN!!!] [2] info->fbops->fb_imageblit(info, image) sys_imageblit fb_imageblit fb_address_forward // offset: image->dy * bits_per_line + image->dx * bpp unsigned int bits = (unsigned int)adr->bits + offset adr->address += (bits & ~(BITS_PER_LONG - 1u)) / BITS_PER_BYTE [3] fb_bitmap_imageblit ... fb_read_offset // page fault!

This fix is necessary, but it is not sufficient on its own. In [1] it causes an image.dy overflow (ccw_putcs: vyres = 768, image.dy = 4294967040), because vc_cols has not been updated in time at this point (it is likewise only updated after clear_selection()). This allows (xx + count) * width to exceed vyres, causing image.dy to overflow. Subsequently, address in [3] is incremented by an even larger amount, which triggers a page fault at [4]. Therefore, a second fix is required in combination with the first: move clear_selection() earlier, before set_blitting_type() in fbcon_set_all_vcs(), to prevent the out-of-bounds access. fbcon_rotate() has a similar problem, so add the same clear there. Since vc_is_sel() is not exported, the fbdev side is currently forced to call clear_selection() unconditionally, causing the global selection to be cleared prematurely. And this will not cause any other significant impact. Signed-off-by: Zizhi Wo <wozizhi@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-08-08fbdev: core: Fix pointer desynchronization in fb_io_read()Mingyu Wang1-0/+8
In fb_io_read(), if copy_to_user() performs a partial copy (e.g., due to a faulty user buffer), the loop adjusts the chunk size 'c' and updates the remaining 'count'. However, the hardware 'src' pointer has already been eagerly advanced by the original chunk size. If the loop is allowed to continue, the read will resume from an incorrect, over-advanced offset. Since the remaining 'count' was only decremented by the successful bytes, this desynchronization causes the next iterations to execute more hardware reads than originally bounded, eventually leading to out-of-bounds I/O reads. Fix this by breaking out of the loop immediately upon a partial copy_to_user(). A partial copy indicates a faulty user buffer, making subsequent read attempts futile. Breaking out ensures we return the number of successfully read bytes without risking out-of-bounds hardware accesses in subsequent mismatched iterations.

show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() access fb_info->modelist and fb_info->mode without holding lock_fb_info(). store_modes() takes lock_fb_info() while replacing the modelist and freeing the old one.

Take lock_fb_info() in show_mode(), show_modes(), and store_mode() to serialize with store_modes(). In show_mode(), copy the mode to the stack and format after dropping the lock. In store_mode(), split activate() into a _locked variant to avoid double-locking, and hold the locks for the modelist walk, mode conversion, activation, and fb_info->mode assignment together.

2026-06-26fbdev: Fix fb_new_modelist to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_varIan Bridges1-0/+12
info->var, a framebuffer's current mode, is expected to have a matching entry in info->modelist. var_to_display() relies on this and treats a failed fb_match_mode() as "This should not happen". fb_set_var() keeps it true by adding the mode to the list on every change, and do_register_framebuffer() does the same at registration. store_modes() replaces the modelist from userspace. fb_new_modelist() validates the new modes but does not check that info->var still has a match. It relies on fbcon_new_modelist() to re-point consoles, but that only handles consoles mapped to the framebuffer. With fbcon unbound there are none, so info->var is left describing a mode that is no longer in the list. A later console takeover runs var_to_display(), where fb_match_mode() returns NULL and leaves fb_display[i].mode NULL. fbcon_switch() passes it to display_to_var(), and fb_videomode_to_var() dereferences the NULL mode. Keep the current mode in the list in fb_new_modelist(), the same way fb_set_var() does.

2026-06-26fbcon: fix NULL pointer dereference for a console without vc_dataIan Bridges1-3/+4
fbcon_new_modelist() runs when a framebuffer's modelist changes. For each console mapped to it with fb_display[i].mode set, it reads vc_cons[i].d and passes the vc_num to fbcon_set_disp(). This assumes a console with a mode set has a vc_data, but it can be NULL. fbcon_set_disp() sets fb_display[i].mode before it checks vc_data, and fbcon_deinit() leaves the mode set after the vc_data is freed. fbcon_new_modelist() then dereferences the NULL vc_data. Keep fb_display[i].mode set only while the console has a vc_data. Check vc_data before setting the mode in fbcon_set_disp(), and clear the mode in fbcon_deinit(). The existing mode check in fbcon_new_modelist() then skips such consoles.

2026-06-26fbdev: fix use-after-free in store_modes()Ian Bridges1-1/+9
store_modes() replaces a framebuffer's modelist with modes from userspace. On success it frees the old modelist with fb_destroy_modelist(). Two fields still point into that freed list. One pointer is fb_display[i].mode, the mode a console is using. fbcon_new_modelist() moves these pointers to the new list. It only does so for consoles still mapped to the framebuffer. An unmapped console is skipped and keeps its stale pointer. Unbinding fbcon, for example, sets con2fb_map[i] to -1 but leaves fb_display[i].mode set. An FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl with FB_ACTIVATE_INV_MODE later reaches fbcon_mode_deleted(). That function reads the stale fb_display[i].mode through fb_mode_is_equal(). The read is a use-after-free. The other pointer is fb_info->mode, the current mode. It is set through the mode sysfs attribute. store_modes() does not update fb_info->mode, so it is left pointing into the freed list. show_mode(), the attribute's read handler, dereferences the stale fb_info->mode through mode_string(). The read is a use-after-free. Clear both pointers before freeing the list. Commit a1f305893074 ("fbcon: Set fb_display[i]->mode to NULL when the mode is released") added the helper fbcon_delete_modelist(). It clears every fb_display[i].mode that points into a given list. So far it is called only from the unregister path. Call it from store_modes() too, and set fb_info->mode to NULL.

2026-06-25fbdev: fbcon: fix out-of-bounds read in err_out of fbcon_do_set_font()Mingyu Wang1-0/+7
When fbcon_do_set_font() fails (e.g., due to a memory allocation failure inside vc_resize() under heavy memory pressure), it jumps to the `err_out` label to roll back the console state. However, the current rollback logic forgets to restore the `hi_font` state, leading to a severe state machine corruption. Earlier in the function, `set_vc_hi_font()` might be called to change `vc->vc_hi_font_mask` and mutate the screen buffer. If `vc_resize()` subsequently fails, the `err_out` path restores `vc_font.charcount` but entirely skips rolling back the `vc_hi_font_mask` and the screen buffer. This mismatch leaves the terminal in a desynchronized state. Because `vc_hi_font_mask` remains set, the VT subsystem will still accept character indices greater than 255 from userspace and write them to the screen buffer. Subsequent rendering calls (e.g., `fbcon_putcs()`) will then use these inflated indices to access the reverted, 256-character font array, leading to a deterministic out-of-bounds read and potential kernel memory disclosure. Fix this by adding the missing rollback logic for the `hi_font` mask and screen buffer in the error path.

The 1920x1080@60 modedb entry has one too many initializers before its sync field: a stray "0" occupies the sync slot, which shifts the remaining values by one field. The entry therefore decodes as sync = 0, vmode = FB_SYNC_HOR_HIGH_ACT | FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT (0x3, i.e. FB_VMODE_INTERLACED | FB_VMODE_DOUBLE), and flag = FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, instead of the intended sync = positive H/V, vmode = non-interlaced. fb_find_mode() then returns a 1920x1080 mode flagged as interlaced + doublescan with active-low syncs. Drivers that honour var->vmode and var->sync when programming display timing enable doublescan and the wrong sync polarity, corrupting the output. Drop the stray initializer so sync and vmode hold their intended values (positive H/V sync, non-interlaced), matching the adjacent 1920x1200 entry.

Add font_data_export() and update consoles to use it. The helper font_data_export() is based on code in fbcon_get_font(). It extends the size of a single glyph to match the requested vpitch, which us usually 32 bytes for fonts from user space. Internal fonts have a pitch according to the glyph's height. The implementation of font_data_export() differs in several ways from the original code. The original implementation distinguished between different pitches of the font data. This is not necessary as the pitch is a parameter in the copying. There was also special handling for a font pitch of 3 bytes, which got expanded to 4 bytes (with trailing bits on each scanline). The logic originated from long before git history exists even in the historical tree. So it is not clear why this was implemented. It is not what user space expects. The setfont utitlity loads font with 3-bytes pitches and expects to read such fonts with a 3-byte pitch. For any font width, the font pitch is always the width extended to the next multiple of 8. See [1] for the user-space font-reading code.

If set in both operands the checksums have to be equal. The new helper also guarantees to not compare internal fonts against fonts from user space. Internal fonts cannot be ref-counted, so making them equal to user-space fonts with the same byte sequence results in undefined behavior. The test only compares data buffers.

2026-03-09lib/fonts: Manage font-data lifetime with font_data_get/_put()Thomas Zimmermann2-36/+30
Add font_data_get() and font_data_put(). Update consoles to use them over REFCOUNT() and plain kfree(). Newly allocated font data starts with a reference count of 1. Loading the font puts the previously loaded font. If the reference count reaches zero, font_data_put() frees the font data. The kernel stores a refcount of zero for internal font data. Invoking font_data_get() and font_data_put() tests this internally and returns success without further operation. From the caller's perspective, getting and putting works the same for all font data. Fbcon used the userfont flag distinguish between internal fonts and fonts loaded by user space. Only the latter where refcounted. With the new helper's automatic handling of internal font data, remove the userfont flag from fbcon. Newport_con uses a default font, FONT_DATA, until user space loads custom font data. Remove all special cases for FONT_DATA, as the get and put calls' read-only handling also covers this case. v3: - fix module linker error wrt font symbols (Nathan, Arnd) - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

2026-03-09lib/fonts: Store font data as font_data_t; update consolesThomas Zimmermann2-18/+29
Store font data as pointer to font_data_t instead of unsigned char. Update consoles. Pointers to font data refer to the raw data. There is a hidden header before the data that contains additional state. Document the existing layout and semantics of font_data_t. The data field in struct vc_font can be used by any console. Therefore it still points to plain data without the additional header. Fbcon sets its value from struct fbcon_display.fontdata. Hence, update the size test in fbcon_resize() to use struct fbcon_display.fontdata instead of struct vc_font.data. v3: - fix typos (Helge) v2: - 'Font lookup' -> 'Font description' in <linux/font.h> Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-03-09vt: Calculate font-buffer size with vc_font_size()Thomas Zimmermann1-7/+2

2026-03-09vt: Store font in struct vc_fontThomas Zimmermann3-10/+9
Replace struct console_font with struct vc_font for the type of the vc_font field of struct vc_data. Struct console_font is UAPI, which prevents further changes. Hence a new data type is required. Struct console_font has a documented vertical pitch of 32 bytes. This is not the case after the font data has been loaded into the kernel. Changing the type of vc_font addresses this inconsistency. The font data is now declared as constant, as it might come from the kernel's read-only section. There's some fallout throughout the console code where non-const variables refer to it. Fix them. A later update will declare the font data to a dedicated data type. v3: - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Acquire a module reference on each mmap and VMA open; hold it until the kernel closes the VMA. Protects against unloading the module while user space still has a mapping of the graphics memory. The VMA page-fault handling would then call into undefined code. This situation can happen if the underlying device has been unplugged and the driver has been unloaded.

2026-03-09fbdev: defio: Disconnect deferred I/O from the lifetime of struct fb_infoThomas Zimmermann1-36/+142
Hold state of deferred I/O in struct fb_deferred_io_state. Allocate an instance as part of initializing deferred I/O and remove it only after the final mapping has been closed. If the fb_info and the contained deferred I/O meanwhile goes away, clear struct fb_deferred_io_state.info to invalidate the mapping. Any access will then result in a SIGBUS signal. Fixes a long-standing problem, where a device hot-unplug happens while user space still has an active mapping of the graphics memory. The hot- unplug frees the instance of struct fb_info. Accessing the memory will operate on undefined state.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds4-7/+7
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

2026-02-14printk, vt, fbcon: Remove console_conditional_schedule()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior1-6/+0
do_con_write(), fbcon_redraw.*() invoke console_conditional_schedule() which is a conditional scheduling point based on printk's internal variables console_may_schedule. It may only be used if the console lock is acquired for instance via console_lock() or console_trylock(). Prinkt sets the internal variable to 1 (and allows to schedule) if the console lock has been acquired via console_lock(). The trylock does not allow it. The console_conditional_schedule() invocation in do_con_write() is invoked shortly before console_unlock(). The console_conditional_schedule() invocation in fbcon_redraw.*() original from fbcon_scroll() / vt's con_scroll() which originate from a line feed. In console_unlock() the variable is set to 0 (forbids to schedule) and it tries to schedule while making progress printing. This is brand new compared to when console_conditional_schedule() was added in v2.4.9.11. In v2.6.38-rc3, console_unlock() (started its existence) iterated over all consoles and flushed them with disabled interrupts. A scheduling attempt here was not possible, it relied that a long print scheduled before console_unlock(). Since commit 8d91f8b15361d ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles"), which appeared in v4.5-rc1, console_unlock() attempts to schedule if it was allowed to schedule while during console_lock(). Each record is idealy one line so after every line feed. This console_conditional_schedule() is also only relevant on PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY builds. In other configurations cond_resched() becomes a nop and has no impact. I'm bringing this all up just proof that it is not required anymore. It becomes a problem on a PREEMPT_RT build with debug code enabled because that might_sleep() in cond_resched() remains and triggers a warnings. This is due to legacy_kthread_func-> console_flush_one_record -> vt_console_print-> lf -> con_scroll -> fbcon_scroll and vt_console_print() acquires a spinlock_t which does not allow a voluntary schedule. There is no need to fb_scroll() to schedule since console_flush_one_record() attempts to schedule after each line. !PREEMPT_RT is not affected because the legacy printing thread is only enabled on PREEMPT_RT builds. Therefore I suggest to remove console_conditional_schedule().

2026-02-14fbdev: Use device_create_with_groups() to fix sysfs groups registration raceHans de Goede1-33/+3
The fbdev sysfs attributes are registered after sending the uevent for the device creation, leaving a race window where e.g. udev rules may not be able to access the sysfs attributes because the registration is not done yet. Fix this by switching to device_create_with_groups(). This also results in a nice cleanup. After switching to device_create_with_groups() all that is left of fb_init_device() is setting the drvdata and that can be passed to device_create[_with_groups]() too. After which fb_init_device() can be completely removed. Dropping fb_init_device() + fb_cleanup_device() in turn allows removing fb_info.class_flag as they were the only user of this field.
