In dma_direct_map_sg(), the case PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_THRU_HOST_BRIDGE incorrectly used 'break' instead of falling through to MAP_NONE. As a result, segments traversing the host bridge skipped the required dma_direct_map_phys() call entirely, leaving sg->dma_address uninitialized and leading to DMA failures.

2026-06-02mm: introduce for_each_free_list()Brendan Jackman1-4/+4
Patch series "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series". In v2 of the __GFP_UNMAPPED series [0], we realised that some of the patches could potentially be merged as independent cleanups. These are all independent of one another, if you think some are useful cleanups and others are pointless churn, it should be fine to just pick whatever subset you prefer. No functional change intended. This patch (of 4): There are a couple of places that iterate over the freelists with awareness of the data structures' layout. It seems ideally, code outside of mm should not be aware of the page allocator's freelists at all. But, this patch just doesn't hide them completely, it's just a meek incremental step in that direction: provide a macro to iterate over it without needing to be aware of the actual struct fields.

NOHZ_FULL CPUs global timers are guaranteed to be handled by the timekeeper CPU, which never stops its tick and therefore remains active in the hierarchy. But since the introduction of per-capacity hierarchies, this guarantee is broken because the timekeeper may not belong to the same hierarchy as all the NOHZ_FULL CPUs.

When a top-level migrator is deactivated, either at CPU down hotplug time or when a CPU is domain isolated, a new migrator is elected among the available CPUs and woken up to take over the migration duty. However that election must happen at the scope of a given hierarchy and not globally, which the introduction of per-capacity hierarchies failed to handle. As a result a given hierarchy may end up without migrator to handle global timers. Fix it by making sure that the new migrator belongs to the same hierarchy as the outgoing CPU.

2026-06-02sched/cputime: Handle idle irqtime gracefullyFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+17
The dyntick-idle cputime accounting always assumes that interrupt time accounting is enabled and consequently stops elapsing the idle time during dyntick-idle interrupts. This doesn't mix up well with disabled interrupt time accounting because then idle interrupts become a cputime blind-spot. Also this feature is disabled on most configurations and the overhead of pausing dyntick-idle accounting while in idle interrupts could then be avoided. Fix the situation with conditionally pausing dyntick-idle accounting during idle interrupts only iff either native vtime (which does interrupt time accounting) or generic interrupt time accounting are enabled. Also make sure that the accumulated interrupt time is not accidentally substracted from later accounting.

Fetching the idle cputime is available through a variety of accessors all over the place depending on the different accounting flavours and needs: - idle vtime generic accounting can be accessed by kcpustat_field(), kcpustat_cpu_fetch(), get_idle/iowait_time() and get_cpu_idle/iowait_time_us() - dynticks-idle accounting can only be accessed by get_idle/iowait_time() or get_cpu_idle/iowait_time_us() - CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n idle accounting can be accessed by kcpustat_field() kcpustat_cpu_fetch(), or get_idle/iowait_time() but not by get_cpu_idle/iowait_time_us() Moreover get_idle/iowait_time() relies on get_cpu_idle/iowait_time_us() with a non-sensical conversion to microseconds and back to nanoseconds on the way.

2026-06-02tick/sched: Unify idle cputime accountingFrederic Weisbecker2-82/+49
The non-vtime dynticks-idle cputime accounting is a big mess that accumulates within two concurrent statistics, each having their own shortcomings: * The accounting for online CPUs which is based on the delta between tick_nohz_start_idle() and tick_nohz_stop_idle(). Pros: - Works when the tick is off - Has nsecs granularity Cons: - Account idle steal time but doesn't substract it from idle cputime. - Assumes CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING by not accounting IRQs but the IRQ time is simply ignored when CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING=n - The windows between 1) idle task scheduling and the first call to tick_nohz_start_idle() and 2) idle task between the last tick_nohz_stop_idle() and the rest of the idle time are blindspots wrt. cputime accounting (though mostly insignificant amount) - Relies on private fields outside of kernel stats, with specific accessors. * The accounting for offline CPUs which is based on ticks and the jiffies delta during which the tick was stopped. Pros: - Handles steal time correctly - Handle CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING=y and CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING=n correctly. - Handles the whole idle task - Accounts directly to kernel stats, without midlayer accumulator. Cons: - Doesn't elapse when the tick is off, which doesn't make it suitable for online CPUs. - Has TICK_NSEC granularity (jiffies) - Needs to track the dyntick-idle ticks that were accounted and substract them from the total jiffies time spent while the tick was stopped. This is an ugly workaround. Having two different accounting for a single context is not the only problem: since those accountings are of different natures, it is possible to observe the global idle time going backward after a CPU goes offline. Clean up the situation with introducing a hybrid approach that stays coherent and works for both online and offline CPUs: * Tick based or native vtime accounting operate before the idle loop is entered and resume once the idle loop prepares to exit. * When the idle loop starts, switch to dynticks-idle accounting as is done currently, except that the statistics accumulate directly to the relevant kernel stat fields. * Private dyntick cputime accounting fields are removed. * Works on both online and offline case. Further improvement will include: * Only switch to dynticks-idle cputime accounting when the tick actually goes in dynticks mode. * Handle CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING=n correctly such that the dynticks-idle accounting still elapses while on IRQs. * Correctly substract idle steal cputime from idle time Reported-by: Xin Zhao <jackzxcui1989@163.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org> Tested-by: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260508131647.43868-8-frederic@kernel.org

Offline handling happens from within the inner idle loop, after the beginning of dyntick cputime accounting, nohz idle load balancing and TIF_NEED_RESCHED polling. This is not necessary and even buggy because: * There is no dyntick handling to do. And calling tick_nohz_idle_enter() messes up with the struct tick_sched reset that was performed on tick_sched_timer_dying(). * There is no nohz idle balancing to do. * Polling on TIF_RESCHED is irrelevant at this stage, there are no more tasks allowed to run. * No need to check if need_resched() before offline handling since stop_machine is done and all per-cpu kthread should be done with their job.

2026-06-02tick/sched: Fix TOCTOU in nohz idle time fetchFrederic Weisbecker1-5/+6
When the nohz idle time is fetched, the current clock timestamp is taken outside the seqcount, which can result in a race as reported by Sashiko: get_cpu_sleep_time_us() tick_nohz_start_idle() ----------------------- --------------------- now = ktime_get() write_seqcount_begin(idle_sleeptime_seq); idle_entrytime = ktime_get() tick_sched_flag_set(ts, TS_FLAG_IDLE_ACTIVE); write_seqcount_end(&ts->idle_sleeptime_seq); read_seqcount_begin(idle_sleeptime_seq) delta = now - idle_entrytime); //!! But now < idle_entrytime idle = *sleeptime + delta; read_seqcount_retry(&ts->idle_sleeptime_seq, seq) Here the read side fetches the timestamp before the write side and its update. As a result the time delta computed on the read side is negative (ktime_t is signed) and breaks the cputime monotonicity guarantee. This could possibly be fixed with reading the current clock timestamp inside the seqcount but the reader overhead might then increase. Also simply checking that the current timestamp is above the idle entry time is enough to prevent any issue of the like.

cgroup_apply_control_disable() defers kill_css_finish() while a css is still populated, relying on css_update_populated() to fire the deferred kill once the populated count reaches zero. This deadlocks when a controller is rebound out of a hierarchy. Mounting an implicit_on_dfl controller such as perf_event as a v1 hierarchy steals it off the default hierarchy, and rebind_subsystems() kills its per-cgroup csses while they are still populated. The migration run in the same step keeps the old css for a controller no longer in the hierarchy's mask, so no task is migrated off the dying csses. Their populated count never reaches zero, the deferred kill_css_finish() never fires, and the next cgroup_lock_and_drain_offline() hangs forever under cgroup_mutex. That migration is already a no-op pass over the rebound subtree. Add cgroup_rebind_ss_mask so find_existing_css_set() resolves the leaving controllers to the root css. Their tasks are migrated there, the per-cgroup csses depopulate, and cgroup_apply_control_disable() kills them synchronously. The deferral stays correct for the rmdir and controller-disable paths it was meant for.

2026-06-02bpf: Reject exclusive maps for bpf_map_elem iteratorsDaniel Borkmann1-0/+4
Exclusive maps (aka excl_prog_hash) are meant to be reachable only from the single program whose hash matches. This is enforced by check_map_prog_compatibility() when the map is referenced from a program such as signed BPF loaders. A bpf_map_elem iterator, however, binds its target map at attach time in bpf_iter_attach_map() instead of referencing it from the program, so the exclusivity check is never reached. On top of that, the iterator exposes the map value as a writable buffer.

2026-06-02tracing/eprobes: Allow use of BTF names to dereference pointersSteven Rostedt2-28/+150
Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to be able to typecast a trace event field that is a pointer to a structure. Currently, a dereference must be a number, where the user has to figure out manually the offset of a member of a structure that they want to dereference. But for event probes that records a field that happens to be a pointer to a structure, it cannot dereference these values with BTF naming, but must use numerical offsets. For example, to find out what device a sk_buff is pointing to in the net_dev_xmit trace event, one must first use gdb to find the offsets of the members of the structures: (gdb) p &((struct sk_buff *)0)->dev $1 = (struct net_device **) 0x10 (gdb) p &((struct net_device *)0)->name $2 = (char (*)[16]) 0x118 And then use the raw numbers to dereference: # echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit +0x118(+0x10($skbaddr)):string' >> dynamic_events If BTF is in the kernel, then instead, the skbaddr can be typecast to sk_buff and use the normal dereference logic. # echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit (sk_buff)skbaddr->dev->name:string' >> dynamic_events # echo 1 > events/eprobes/xmit/enable # cat trace [..] sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.249343: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.250061: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.250142: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.263553: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.283820: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.302716: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.322905: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.342828: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.362268: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.382335: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.400856: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" sshd-session-1022 [000] b..2. 860.419893: xmit: (net.net_dev_xmit) arg1="enp7s0" The syntax is simply: (STRUCT)(FIELD)->MEMBER[->MEMBER..] Also add comments around the #else and #endif of #ifdef CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS to know what they are for.

2026-06-02sched/fair: Unify cfs_rq throttling via account_cfs_rq_runtime()Peter Zijlstra1-55/+46
assign_cfs_rq_runtime() during update_curr() sets the resched indicator and relies on check_cfs_rq_runtime() during pick_next_task() / put_prev_entity() to throttle the hierarchy once current task is preempted / blocks. Per-task throttle, on the other hand, uses throttle_cfs_rq() to simply propagate the throttle signals, and then relies on task work to individually throttle the runnable tasks on their way out to the userspace. Remove check_cfs_rq_runtime() and unify throttling into account_cfs_rq_runtime() which only sets the cfs_rq->throttled, cfs_rq->throttle_count indicators via throttle_cfs_rq() and optionally adds the task work to the current task (donor) it is on the throttled hierarchy. throttle_cfs_rq() requests for sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice() worth of bandwidth for the current hierarchy that enable it to continue running uninterrupted when selected. For the rest, it requests a bare minimum of "1" to ensure some bandwidth is available and pass the "runtime_remaining > 0" checks once selected. For SCHED_PROXY_EXEC, a mutex holder cannot exit to userspace without dropping it first and the mutex_unlock() ensures proxy is stopped before the mutex handoff which preserves the current semantics for running a throttled task until it exits to the userspace even if it acts as a donor.

2026-06-02sched/fair: Move the throttled tasks to a local list in tg_unthrottle_up()K Prateek Nayak1-2/+21
An update_curr() during the enqueue of throttled task will start throttling the hierarchy from subsequent commit. This can lead to tg_throttle_down() seeing non-empty throttled_limbo_list for the cfs_rq attaching the task from throttled_limbo_list one by one. For example: R | A / \ *B C | rq->curr *B is throttled with tasks on hte limbo list. When the tasks are unthrottled via tg_unthrottle_up() and entity of group B is placed onto A, update_curr() is called to catch up the vruntime and it may throttle group A causing the subsequent tg_throttle_down() to see the pending task's on B's limbo list. tg_unthrottle_up() /* --cfs_rq->throttle_count == 0 */ list_for_each_entry_safe(p, cfs_rq->throttled_limbo_list) enqueue_task_fair() enqueue_entity(se /* B->se */) update_curr(cfs_rq /* A->gcfs_rq */) account_cfs_rq_runtime(cfs_rq) throttle_cfs_rq(cfs_rq /* A->gcfs_rq */ ) tg_throttle_down() /* Reaches B->cfs_rq with throttle_count == 0 */ !!! !list_empty(&cfs_rq->throttled_limbo_list)) !!! Move the tasks from throttled_limbo_list onto a local list before starting the unthrottle to prevent the splat described above. If the hierarchy is throttled again in middle of an unthrottle, put the pending tasks back onto the limbo list to prevent running them unnecessarily.

2026-06-02sched/fair: Call update_curr() before unthrottling the hierarchyK Prateek Nayak2-3/+23
Subsequent commits will allow update_curr() to throttle the hierarchy when the runtime accounting exceeds allocated quota. Call update_curr() before the unthrottle event, and in tg_unthrottle_up() to catch up on any remaining runtime and stabilize the "runtime_remaining" and "throttle_count" for that cfs_rq. Doing an update_curr() early ensures the cfs_rq is not throttled right back up again when the unthrottle is in progress. Since all callers of unthrottle_cfs_rq(), except two, already update the rq_clock and call rq_clock_start_loop_update(), move the update_rq_clock() from unthrottle_cfs_rq() to the callers that don't update the rq_clock.

2026-06-02sched/fair: Use throttled_csd_list for local unthrottleK Prateek Nayak1-17/+15
When distribute_cfs_runtime() encounters a local cfs_rq, it adds it to a local list and unthrottles it at the end, when it is done unthrottling other cfs_rq(s) on cfs_b->throttled_cfs_rq until the bandwidth runs out. Instead of using a local list, reuse the local CPU's rq->throttled_csd_list and the __cfsb_csd_unthrottle() path for unthrottle. If this is the first cfs_rq to be queued on the "throttled_csd_list", it prevents the need for a remote CPUs to interrupt this local CPU if they themselves are performing async unthrottle. If this is not the first cfs_rq on the list, there is an async unthrottle operation pending on this local CPU and the unthrottle can be batched together. No functional changes intended.

Routine conversion of rcu_read_lock(), spin_lock*, and rq_lock usage within the cfs bandwidth controller to use class guards. Only notable changes are: - Checking for "cfs_rq->runtime_remaining <= 0" instead of the inverse to spot a throttle and break early. This also saves the need for extra indentation in the unthrottle case. - Reordering of list_del_rcu() against throttled_clock indicator update in unthrottle_cfs_rq(). Both are done with "cfs_b->lock" held after the "cfs_rq->throttled" is cleared which make the reordering safe against concurrent list modifications. No functional changes intended.

To remove the cfs_rq pointer array in task_group, allocate the combined cfs_rq and sched_entity using the per-cpu allocator. This patch implements the following: - Changes task_group->cfs_rq from 'struct cfs_rq **' to 'struct cfs_rq __percpu *'. - Updates memory allocation in alloc_fair_sched_group() and free_fair_sched_group() to use alloc_percpu() and free_percpu() respectively. - Uses the inline accessor tg_cfs_rq(tg, cpu) with per_cpu_ptr() to retrieve the pointer to cfs_rq for the given task group and CPU. - Replaces direct accesses tg->cfs_rq[cpu] with calls to the new tg_cfs_rq(tg, cpu) helper. - Handles the root_task_group: since struct rq is already a per-cpu variable (runqueues), its embedded cfs_rq (rq->cfs) is also per-cpu. Therefore, we assign root_task_group.cfs_rq = &runqueues.cfs. - Cleanup the code in initializing the root task group. This change places each CPU's cfs_rq and sched_entity in its local per-cpu memory area to remove the per-task_group pointer arrays.

Now that struct sched_entity is co-located with struct cfs_rq for non-root task groups, the task_group->se pointer array is redundant. The associated sched_entity can be loaded directly from the cfs_rq. This patch performs the access conversion with the helpers: - is_root_task_group(tg): checks if a task group is the root task group. It compares the task group's address with the global root_task_group variable. - tg_se(tg, cpu): retrieves the cfs_rq and returns the address of the co-located se. This function checks if tg is the root task group to ensure behaving the same of previous tg->se[cpu]. Replaces all accesses that use the tg->se[cpu] pointer array with calls to the new tg_se(tg, cpu) accessor. - cfs_rq_se(cfs_rq): simplifies access paths like cfs_rq->tg->se[...] to use the co-located sched_entity. This function also checks if tg is the root task group to ensure same behavior. Since tg_se is not in very hot code paths, and the branch is a register comparison with an immediate value (`&root_task_group`), the performance impact is expected to be negligible.

2026-06-02sched: restore timer_slack_ns when resetting RT policy on forkGuanyou.Chen1-0/+1
Commit ed4fb6d7ef68 ("hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values for realtime tasks") sets timer_slack_ns to 0 for RT tasks in __setscheduler_params(). However, when an RT task with SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK creates child threads, the children inherit timer_slack_ns=0 from the parent. sched_fork() resets the child's policy to SCHED_NORMAL but does not restore timer_slack_ns, leaving the child permanently running with zero slack. Fix this by restoring timer_slack_ns from default_timer_slack_ns in sched_fork() when resetting from RT/DL to NORMAL policy, matching the existing behavior in __setscheduler_params(). Note: this fix alone requires a correct default_timer_slack_ns to be effective. See the following patch for that fix.
