2026-08-13bpf: Factor out check_map_mem_read helper in verifierLeon Hwang1-32/+43
In the next commit, percpu_array map will add map_direct_value_addr support. IOW, it will add a map_type check in the iff condition of the bpf_map_direct_read() code block, which will reduce the code block readability. Hence, factor out check_map_mem_read helper to improve the readability, and the maintainability for the percpu_array map case.

2026-08-13workqueue: annotate racy p->wake_cpu accesses in kick_pool_pick()Breno Leitao1-2/+3
kick_pool_pick() reads and writes p->wake_cpu while the scheduler can update it concurrently. KCSAN reports: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in kick_pool_pick+0xf8/0x2d8 race at unknown origin, with read to 0xffff000663229da4 of 4 bytes by task 1817002 on cpu 40: kick_pool_pick+0xf8/0x2d8 process_scheduled_works+0x2bc/0x888 worker_thread+0x394/0x548 kthread+0x1b8/0x1f0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 value changed: 0x0000002b -> 0x0000002f The race is harmless. wake_cpu is a best-effort placement hint: every writer stores a valid CPU id and the wakeup path validates it through select_task_rq(), so a stale value only affects which CPU the worker wakes up on. Mark both accesses with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to document that they are intentionally racy and to stop the compiler from reloading or tearing them.

2026-08-13sched/isolation: Defer freeing of cpumask memblock memory to initcallWaiman Long1-1/+15
When testing a linux-next kernel with commit 59bd1d914bb5 ("memblock: warn when freeing reserved memory before memory map is initialized"), the following warning was hit when there was a "nohz_full" kernel boot parameter. Cannot free reserved memory because of deferred initialization of the memory map WARNING: mm/memblock.c:904 at __free_reserved_area+0xde/0xf0, CPU#0: swapper/0/0 : Call Trace: <TASK> memblock_phys_free+0xcb/0x100 housekeeping_init+0x14c/0x170 start_kernel+0x207/0x450 x86_64_start_reservations+0x24/0x30 x86_64_start_kernel+0xda/0xe0 common_startup_64+0x13e/0x141 </TASK> IOW, we shouldn't free memblock allocated memory so early in the boot process when memory map isn't fully initialized in deferred_init_memmap(). Fix it by saving the housekeeping cpumask memblock memory to be freed into a llist free list in housekeeping_init() and add a new housekeeping_late_init() helper to defer the actual freeing of memblock memory to when initcall's are being processed. The cpumask memblock memory is treated as a llist_node with the size of a "long" type which is also smallest cpumask size that can be allocated. The non-atomic version of the llist APIs are used as there is no contention. This commit depends on the presence of commit 7c2eee9c1367 ("memblock: don't touch memblock arrays when memblock_free() is called late") to prevent a KASAN UAF bug report [1].

2026-08-13dma/swiotlb: decouple high watermark tracking from CONFIG_DEBUG_FSchenhuguanshen1-59/+94
Under heavy concurrent DMA traffic on CoCo VMs, inc_used_and_hiwater() performs an atomic_long_add_return() plus a CAS loop on the global used_hiwater, and dec_used() performs an atomic_long_sub() on total_used. All CPUs contend on the same cacheline, causing measurable throughput degradation at scale. Historically these counters were only compiled in under CONFIG_DEBUG_FS, which means production kernels with debugfs paid the atomic overhead unconditionally. Make the tracking boot-time opt-in instead so that it is disabled by default with near-zero overhead via static_call, and can be enabled via "swiotlb=track_hiwater" parameter on demand for debugging. Note that when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled but hiwater tracking is disabled, the "io_tlb_used" metric reports an approximate value rather than an instantaneously exact one.

2026-08-13bpf: Eliminate dup/restore of insn_aux_dataXu Kuohai3-52/+4
The dup/restore of insn_aux_data was introduced to resolve the inconsistency between insnsi and insn_aux_data arrays, which occurs on the failure path where insnsi was rolled back to the original state before constants blinding, while insn_aux_data was not. After JIT failure, there is only one user, bpf_clear_insn_aux_data(), that requires insnsi and insn_aux_data to be synchronized. It accesses both insnsi and insn_aux_data using the same array size and index. However, the access to insnsi in bpf_clear_insn_aux_data() is not necessary. It is checked to skip the second slot of an ldimm64 instruction, whose jt is never set and can be absorbed into the jt check itself. So remove the access to insnsi from bpf_clear_insn_aux_data(), and add a specific length field for insn_aux_data to allow it to have a different length from the insnsi array. Then remove dup/restore of insn_aux_data.

2026-08-12bpf: Show more useful info in stack depth statsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-9/+14
Stack depth statistics list captured depths in subprogram-number order, while per-verification instruction counts are reported separately. Since libbpf determines subprogram numbers, it is hard to associate either statistic with its subprogram name or see where verifier work is spent. Now that self and inclusive instruction counts are available for every subprogram, keep the combined maximum stack depth on its own line and print one uniform record for each subprogram. Represent the main program as subprog 0, then classify each record as main, global, or static before reporting insns_self, insns_total, and stack depth. The aggregate processed count is the sum of all self counts, while each total shows verifier work rooted at that subprogram. When no subprogram name is available, print <unknown>. Keep the existing aggregate "processed ... insns" record unchanged for compatibility.

2026-08-12bpf: Attribute async callback instructions to verification rootsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-0/+10
Asynchronous callbacks are explored as fresh frame-zero verifier states, so normal callee-to-caller accounting cannot propagate their instruction budget to the main or global subprogram whose verification scheduled them. The callback exploration still happens within the same do_check_common() invocation as that independent verification root. Record env->insn_processed at do_check_common() entry and override the root's inclusive count with the delta before returning. This includes all directly and transitively scheduled asynchronous callbacks in the root's total without maintaining a separate accounting call stack. Static subprogram and callback totals remain local to their synchronous call paths. Their self counts continue to account for each processed instruction exactly once.

2026-08-12bpf: Track verifier instruction stats for each subprogramKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi1-9/+46
The verifier currently records one instruction count for the main program and each global subprogram checked independently. Static subprograms are explored within callers, so their verification cost cannot be reported separately. Track both self and inclusive instruction counts for every subprogram. Charge each processed instruction as self work to the current subprogram and to a path-local subtotal in its function frame. When a function returns, add the callee subtotal to its inclusive count and to its parent subtotal. Fold any remaining frames when a path terminates or is pruned. Instruction subtotals are accounting state, not semantic verifier state. Clear them when a verifier state is copied so work before a path fork is charged once, rather than again when a saved branch is explored. If copying a saved state fails before all frames are allocated, skip missing frames while folding the current path. This generic frame accounting also records self and inclusive totals when an asynchronous callback starts as a fresh frame-zero state. It does not yet charge that independently explored callback path back to the main or global exploration root which scheduled it. That will be done in subsequent changes. This does not change the verification statistics output format. It only prepares the counters for per-subprogram reporting.

2026-08-12audit: avoid dropping live tree ref on fsnotify rule autoremoveJérémy Jean1-4/+2
audit_del_rule() is used for both netlink deletion templates and internal fsnotify autoremove. The former passes a parsed template which owns a temporary tree reference; the latter passes the installed entry itself. The unconditional audit_put_tree() at the end of audit_del_rule() assumes the template case. For mixed AUDIT_DIR plus AUDIT_EXE rules, an fsnotify autoremove event therefore drops the installed rule's live tree reference. Repeating this across rules sharing the same tree can free the tree while another rule still references it, and a later autoremove dereferences the freed pathname while comparing rules. Move the temporary-tree put to audit_rule_change(), the caller that owns deletion templates. Keep it in the AUDIT_DEL_RULE cleanup so both successful deletion and -ENOENT still release the parser-owned tree.

2026-08-12sched_ext: Convert scx_bpf_cid_override() to __arena array argumentsTejun Heo1-21/+28
scx_bpf_cid_override() predates the cid-form arena transition and takes its arrays as verifier-checked mem+size buffers, forcing scx_qmap to keep the cpu_to_cid and shard_start arrays in writable bss while the rest of its state lives in the arena. Unify on arena arguments before cid-form schedulers start seeing real use. BPF now translates between BPF and kernel arena addresses for __arena arguments. Take the arrays as __arena arguments, with the counts passed in entries. The counts now size the snapshot copies and are bounds-checked before them. scx_qmap moves the arrays into struct qmap_arena. As the arena is mmapped at load, the loader populates them between load and attach instead of before load. The arena argument address translation is currently implemented only on x86-64.

2026-08-12sched_ext: Convert sub-cap kfuncs to __arena cmask argumentsTejun Heo4-38/+36
The sub-cap kfuncs take their cmask arguments as __ign pointers. The values cross the kfunc boundary as unchecked scalars and scx_cmask_ref_init() rebases them into the arena by hand. BPF now translates between BPF and kernel arena addresses for __arena arguments. Tag the cmask arguments __arena so the kfuncs receive kernel addresses and scx_cmask_ref_init() loses the hand-rolled conversion. The optional denied_out keeps its NULL not-provided signal via __arena__nullable. The mandatory masks use plain __arena. scx_qmap's call sites drop the (void *)(long) casts since the BPF-side declarations type the cmask arguments __arena and take arena pointers directly.

Tag the arguments __arena in the cfi stubs and the ops_cid member declarations and pass the kernel arena addresses directly, dropping the manual scx_kaddr_to_arena() conversions and the now-unused helper.

check_atomic_rmw() open codes the mapping from a BPF_ATOMIC to the register it reads the old value into, the BPF_STX case of insn_def_regno() open codes the very same mapping a second time, the const folding and the liveness transfer functions a third and a fourth time, and BPF JITs need it as well to know which register a faulting BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC has to clear. Add a small helper so that all of them can share it. No functional change. The BPF_LOAD_ACQ case is there for the JITs, which do walk all instruction classes. const_reg_xfer() loses its explicit BPF_ATOMIC mode test since the helper checks class and mode itself; the BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC it additionally accepts cannot be seen there as it is only set from bpf_do_misc_fixups(), that is, after const folding has run. arg_track_xfer() keeps its mode test since that also guards the stack clearing next to it.

It was an effort to enhance fscache as a kernel cache for lazy pulling (at least according to previous Incremental FS discussion [1]) and EROFS over fscache was the in-tree user of this mode. fscache has since evolved to be netfslib-oriented, serving network filesystem inodes via the netfs library, but EROFS never acts as a network filesystem and we need to cache golden filesystem images rather than individual EROFS inodes. Since EROFS over fscache is now removed, clean up netfs/fscache/ cachefiles upstream too.

alloc_pid() checks PIDNS_ADDING only on the leaf pid namespace before making a new struct pid visible in every ancestor namespace. That is insufficient when an unborn descendant pid namespace outlives an ancestor whose init task has already exited.

Keep the existing ENOMEM behavior, but require PIDNS_ADDING to be set in every namespace that will receive the new pid before publishing any of them.

Keep the memory_spread_slab control and CS_SPREAD_SLAB state so legacy users retain the existing write, readback and inheritance behavior. Update the comments and documentation to describe only page-cache spreading as functional.

2026-08-11sched_ext: Fix rq->core_pick corruption under core schedulingTejun Heo1-8/+78
Core scheduling's pick_next_task() picks what to run on every SMT sibling of the core in a single pass under the shared core-wide rq lock. The selection state is consistent only while the lock is held continuously, so ->pick_task() originally could not release it. However, since 4c95380701f5 ("sched/ext: Fold balance_scx() into pick_task_scx()"), sched_ext runs dispatch from inside the pick and dispatching can drop the rq lock. To support this, pick_next_task() has been updated to restart the whole selection when a pick returns RETRY_TASK after releasing the lock. When selections on the same core interleave through the dropped lock, they corrupt each other's state: one clears the other's rq->core_pick leading to a NULL deref, or invalidates its keep-the-previous-task decision leaving a dequeued task running, which deadlocks the next wakeup and matches the reported hard hangs. A cookied ping-pong load on an SMT machine makes the interleavings frequent and kills the kernel within seconds. Fix it by making the pick return RETRY_TASK whenever dispatch released the rq lock, so that a selection only ever commits picks made under a continuously held lock. The previous patch's rq->scx.lock_drop_seq counts the releases. A dispatch that touched nothing never releases the lock and its verdict, including "nothing to run", stands: retries are bounded, each following a dispatch that actually did something, and an idle CPU does not loop. If another dispatch is already in flight on the rq, skip dispatching and pick from what is already queued locally - the in-flight dispatch has released the lock, so its own selection will retry and re-pick this rq, while returning RETRY_TASK here would only spin on the lock that dispatch needs to finish. Balance callbacks must run in the context that queued them, so they can only be queued on the CPU's own rq. When dispatching for another rq, run the deferred work directly instead - that rq may consume all its picks through the core-sched fast path and never queue the callback itself. The put_prev_task_scx() warning about a runnable task being left behind assumed that dispatch ran as part of the very pick that is switching away. That now only holds on the non-core path, so gate it and drop the cookie-match test, which is always true without core scheduling, from its condition.

2026-08-11sched_ext: Count rq lock releases in rq->scx.lock_drop_seqTejun Heo2-2/+39
Under core scheduling, pick_next_task() selects for all SMT siblings under one continuous hold of the shared core-wide rq lock, and sched_ext's dispatch can release that lock from inside the pick. In preparation for making the core-sched pick detect the releases and retry, add rq->scx.lock_drop_seq and bump it at every site that can release an rq lock while a dispatch may be in flight. The counter is only maintained while core scheduling is enabled. No functional changes.

2026-08-11sched_ext: Fix this_rq() assumptions in dispatch kfuncsTejun Heo1-23/+35
Under core scheduling, dispatch runs from within the core-wide pick and can target a sibling rq, so ops.dispatch() may execute on a CPU different from the dispatched rq's. Several kfunc paths assumed the two always coincide: - scx_dsq_move() decided whether an rq lock is held by testing this_rq()'s rq flags and lock-danced accordingly. A dispatch for a sibling took the unlocked-context branch and acquired the source rq lock on top of the already held dispatched rq lock which could deadlock. - scx_bpf_sub_dispatch() dispatched this_rq() with its stashed sub_dispatch_prev, which is NULL when dispatching for a sibling. - finish_dispatch(), scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() and scx_bpf_dsq_nr_queued() resolved SCX_DSQ_LOCAL to this CPU's local DSQ rather than the dispatched rq's. The latter two are callable from other rq-locked operations too, where SCX_DSQ_LOCAL now likewise resolves to the op's rq. This changes behavior also without core scheduling, e.g. for ops.enqueue() running a remote wakeup on the waking CPU, and is intended: which CPU happens to execute an operation is incidental, the op's rq is what it is operating on, and the resolution now matches the insert side where SCX_DSQ_LOCAL dispatches land on the task's rq. Use the rq tracked by scx_locked_rq(), which is set to the dispatched rq around ops invocations and NULL in unlocked contexts.

2026-08-11sched_ext: Replace SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP with a dispatch verdict returnTejun Heo2-52/+73
SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP tells the pick to keep running the previous task, a leftover from when balancing and picking were separate operations. An rq-level flag only works while dispatches and picks pair up one to one, which core scheduling breaks: selections interleave through dispatch's lock drops and a pick can consume a stale flag, keeping a task that has since been dequeued. Fixing core scheduling support requires the decision to travel with the dispatch that made it. Make scx_dispatch_sched() and balance_one() return an explicit verdict instead and drop the flag's plumbing from the tools autogen enum headers. Also factor the pick-side invocation, its follow-up queueing and the post-dispatch checks out of do_pick_task_scx() into dispatch_pick(). No functional changes intended. v2: Drop the SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP plumbing from the tools autogen enum headers as well (Andrea).

2026-08-11sched/core: Make core-sched flips wait for in-flight selectionsTejun Heo2-0/+23
Core scheduling's pick_next_task() operates on all sibling rqs under one acquisition of the shared core-wide lock. A ->pick_task() that releases the rq lock leaves every sibling __lock momentarily free, letting __sched_core_flip(false) complete mid-selection and rebind rq_lockp() under it. The selection resumes on the split locks, touching sibling state it no longer protects, and __schedule() finally releases a lock that was never taken while leaking the one that was. Count in-flight core-wide selections in the leader's rq->core_pick_in_flight and make __sched_core_flip() wait for the count to drain. The count only changes under the shared lock, which the flip holds while sampling, so no other ordering is needed. The wait can repeat while selections overlap, but the flip backs off between samples and flips are rare cookie-lifetime events. sched_core_cpu_deactivate() moves the count to the new leader - a stale copy left behind would bias it forever if that CPU later returns as its own leader.

2026-08-11sched/core: Handle pick_task() releasing the rq lockTejun Heo1-8/+19
Core scheduling's pick_next_task() breaks when a ->pick_task() implementation can release the rq lock. The selection state derived on entry is only valid while the lock is held continuously. Once a pick can drop the lock, an interleaving selection can invalidate all of it: the single-CPU fast path can commit an uncookied pick although the core went cookied during the release, and forceidle committed by the interleaving selection skews the restarted pass's accounting. Fix it by restarting the whole selection when a pick returns RETRY_TASK after releasing the lock: a single restart point above the state derivation replaces the per-loop restart labels, so a retry picks up state committed by interleaving selections and accounts and resets forceidle like a fresh selection would. need_sync and fi_before latch across retries. Clock validity can't be re-derived - there is no program-ordered way to tell whether the own and core rq clocks are still updated after the lock was released, as other lockers' pin cycles may or may not have invalidated them. When restarting, clear core_clock_updated so that the sibling loop re-updates the core rq, and update the own rq clock if invalidated.

2026-08-11srcu: Queue sdp->work when the delay timer is successfully deletedZqiang1-1/+6
In the cleanup_srcu_struct() function, when iterating over per-cpu's srcu_data, timer_delete_sync(&sdp->delay_work) is called to cancel the delayed work before doing flush_work(&sdp->work). However, suppose that timer_delete_sync() returns 1, which means that it successfully deleted an pending timer before it had a chance to fire. But this also means that the sdp->work will not be queued, so that the subsequent flush_work(&sdp->work) will returns immediately without waiting for anything. Taken together, all of this means that any recently queued SRCU callbacks to not be invoked, which can result in memory leaks, hangs, or worse. Fix this by checking the return value of timer_delete_sync(), if it returns 1, explicitly queue sdp->work so that the callbacks will be invoked and the following flush_work() will correctly wait for all of those callbacks to finish executing.
