iomap: add a separate bio_set for iomap_split_ioend
iomap_split_ioend can split bios that already come from
iomap_ioend_bioset and thus deadlock when the bioset is exhausted.

Add a separate bio_set to avoid this deadlock.

Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Mark iomap_ioend_split_bioset static as it is only used in ioend.c,
fixing the sparse warning reported by the kernel test robot.

68ac45aabe rust: debugfs: remove unsafe blocks from traits impl for Vec
The previous implementation used an `unsafe` block to manually cast Vec's
slice to a &[u8] using `core::slice::from_raw_parts`.  Instead, the
implementation can be implemented in safe rust using zerocopy's trait
functions `as_bytes()` and `as_mut_bytes()`, respectively, and making use
of deref coercion to implicitly cast Vec to &[T] as `FromBytes` and
`IntoBytes` automatically are implemented on [T] when they are implemented
on T.

6e33dee41d rust: debugfs: migrate debugfs traits requirements to zerocopy
Migrate `BinaryWriter` and `BinaryReaderMut`'s default implementation's
requirements on T from `kernel::transmute` traits to `zerocopy` traits.

The additional `zerocopy::Immutable` requirement on `BinaryWriter` does not
further restrict the types in practice but is rather a more explicit
requirement (that the type does not have interior mutability) and is
required by zerocopy for the `as_bytes()` function.

dd7aea9ee2 rust_binder: do not query current thread for all ioctls
The get_current_thread() method is currently called for every ioctl to
ensure that a Thread struct exists for the thread calling into the
driver. However, not all ioctls require a Thread object, so this means
we are unnecessarily creating these objects in cases where we don't need
to. If said thread does not invoke BINDER_THREAD_EXIT on exit, Binder's
Thread struct stays around until the fd is closed. For long-lived
processes the Thread object is effectively leaked.

Furthermore, when the BINDER_GET_NODE_DEBUG_INFO ioctl is invoked by
libmemunreachable to ensure that objects reachable only through the
Binder driver are not considered leaked, this is done from a fork of the
process owning the fd, which means that it fails the group_leader check
inside get_current_thread(). This results in EINVAL errors for this
ioctl, causing libmemunreachable to report a false positive memory leak.

Thus, do not invoke get_current_thread() for ioctls that do not require
it.

b5be879519 nvmem: layouts: Add fixed-layout driver
Current implementation isn't working well when device tree nodes have a
phandle on a fixed-layout nvmem node. As the fixed layout is handled in
nvmem core, no driver is ever associated with the layout, and the device
consumer driver probe is deferred indefinitely.

Remove the specific handling of fixed-layout and add a layout driver.
This makes the fixed-layout similar to all other layouts, fixing the
whole issue.

ff10b6db0a nvmem: apple-spmi-nvmem: wrap regmap calls to satisfy CFI
The Apple SPMI NVMEM driver previously cast regmap_bulk_read/write to
void * when assigning them to nvmem_config's reg_read/reg_write
function pointers.

This cast breaks the expected function signature of nvmem_reg_read_t
and nvmem_reg_write_t. With CFI enabled, indirect calls through
these pointers fail:

  CFI failure at nvmem_reg_write+0x194/0x1e4 (target: regmap_bulk_write+0x0/0x2c8; expected type: 0x83a189c3)

Introduce thin wrapper functions with the correct nvmem function
pointer types to satisfy the CFI checks.

6102ceb4ea misc: fastrpc: Remove buffer from list prior to unmap operation
fastrpc_req_munmap_impl() is called to unmap any buffer. The buffer is
getting removed from the list after it is unmapped from DSP. This can
create potential race conditions if multiple threads invoke unmap
concurrently, where one thread may remove the entry from the list while
another thread's unmap operation is still ongoing.

Fix this by removing the buffer entry from the list before calling the
unmap operation. If the unmap fails, the entry is re-added to the list
so that userspace can retry the unmap, or alternatively, the buffer
will be cleaned up during device release when the DSP process is torn
down and all DSP-side mappings are freed along with remaining buffers
in the list.

registered with Audio PD and is never used, causing a memory leak. Audio
PD immediately falls back to allocating memory from the remote heap since
the pool starts out empty.

dcache: keep shrink_dcache_for_umount() making progress on busy roots
Commit e9895609cb ("wind ->s_roots via ->d_sib instead of ->d_hash")
moved secondary roots from ->d_hash to ->d_sib.  Secondary roots are now
d_unhashed(), so __d_drop() returns without removing them from
->s_roots.  Consequently, d_drop() in do_one_tree() no longer
guarantees progress through the list.

If a secondary root is still busy once do_one_tree() is done with it,
its final dput() cannot evict it.  The root remains ->s_roots.first and
the loop selects it forever, holding ->s_umount for write and repeatedly
reporting the same dentry.

The root does not need a leaked reference of its own for that.  Every
child pins its parent (d_alloc() takes a reference on it) and
umount_check() deliberately reports a busy descendant instead of
complaining about its ancestors, so a single leaked dentry reference
anywhere below a secondary root is enough.  For filesystems that build
->s_root with d_obtain_root() - nfs, ceph, nilfs2 snapshot mounts -
that is the entire tree.

Before e9895609cb, ___d_drop() special-cased IS_ROOT dentries and
removed them from ->s_roots regardless of their refcount, so the
d_drop() in do_one_tree() detached the root from the superblock no
matter what.  Commit 9c8c10e262 ("more graceful recovery in
umount_collect()") deliberately made busy dentries nonfatal: report
them and finish the unmount rather than BUG() while holding
->s_umount.

Restore that by detaching the root in do_one_tree() itself, next to
the d_drop() that used to do it.  That covers both callers - the
->s_roots loop and ->s_root, which for the filesystems above is a
secondary root as well.  In the normal case dentry_unlist() finds
->d_sib already unhashed when eviction occurs.

A permanently leaked reference remains leaked after unmount, as it did
before e9895609cb; if the extra reference is merely delayed, its
final dput() may run after teardown has advanced.  Leaving the root on
->s_roots is not an alternative: the superblock would then be freed
with a live dentry still linked into it, and that dentry's
dentry_unlist() would take ->s_roots_lock on freed memory.

Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
Moved the ->s_roots removal from the shrink_dcache_for_umount() loop
into do_one_tree(), so a busy ->s_root obtained from d_obtain_root() is
detached on the first pass instead of being reported a second time when
the loop picks it off ->s_roots.  Extended the commit message with the
pinned-ancestor case.

Merge patch series "fs/namei.c: comment and coding style fixups"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:

Three comment and coding style fixups for your lookup_open() rework and
Jori's audit series as they sit in vfs-7.3.lookup. No functional changes.

* Update the comments above lookup_open(). It takes the parent inode lock
  itself now but the comment still tells the caller to take it. A caller
  following it deadlocks and the series added a second caller. The claim
  that it returns 0 and updates @path goes as well, that one has been
  wrong since v5.7.

* Give the return description of atomic_open() the colon that kernel-doc
  needs. Without it the description is dropped and W=1 warns about it.
  The summary line has to stand on its own line too, so the "from a
  negative dentry" part moves into the body.

* Fix a space indented continuation line, three declarations without a
  following blank line and a trailing */ on the last line of a block
  comment.

Give it the missing colon.  The summary line also has to stand on its

it can say that the caller has to hand over a negative dentry.

fs/namei.c: update stale comments in lookup_open()
Commit ddb6e6c72a ("VFS: move mnt_want_write() and locking into
lookup_open()") moved the parent inode locking into lookup_open(), but
left the comment claiming the caller has to take it.  A caller following
that comment now deadlocks, and the series added a second caller.

Describe what the function actually does.  While at it drop the claim
that it returns 0 on success and updates @path, wrong ever since
lookup_open() started returning a dentry in v5.7, and fix the reference
to lookup_open() in a comment that now sits inside lookup_open() itself.

d761c7e38a gpiolib: Check gc->get_direction() before calling gpiod_get_direction()
According to 'struct gpio_chip' documentation in linux/gpio/driver.h,
implementing .get_direction() is recommended but not mandatory.
Most places verify that gc->get_direction() exists before calling
gpiod_get_direction(), but gpiolib_dbg_show() doesn't.

Until commit 471e998c0e ("gpiolib: remove redundant callback check")
it was also verified by gpiod_get_direction() itself so calling it at
all time from gpiolib_dbg_show() was not an issue. But after the check
in gpiod_get_direction() has been removed, calling it inconditionaly
leads to a big fat warning in gpiochip_get_direction().

In gpiod_get_direction(), verify that gc->get_direction() exists
before calling gpiod_get_direction().

c9c8578ad5 locking/percpu-rwsem: Annotate intentional data race in readers_active_check()
KCSAN reports a data race between readers_active_check() and a
concurrently executing reader:

  BUG: KCSAN: data-race in readers_active_check / percpu_down_write

  race at unknown origin, with read to 0xffff9f3eb5bf5f30 of 4 bytes
  by task 1271 on cpu 14:
   readers_active_check+0x...
   percpu_down_write+0x152/0x1f0

  value changed: 0xfffffff9 -> 0xfffffff8

readers_active_check() calls per_cpu_sum(*sem->read_count), which
iterates over all CPUs and reads each CPU's per-CPU read_count
variable.  Concurrently, a reader on a remote CPU is modifying its own
CPU's read_count via this_cpu_inc() / this_cpu_dec() as it enters and
exits the critical section.  These are plain reads and writes to the
same per-CPU storage, hence KCSAN flags a data race.

This race is benign.  readers_active_check() is called from the
percpu_down_write() wait loop (rcuwait_wait_event) after sem->block is
already set.  At this point:

  - New readers must immediately back out (they see block set, decrement
    their counter, and wake the writer), so counters can only decrease.

  - If the sum catches a reader's increment before its decrement,
    readers_active_check() sees a non-zero sum and returns false.  The
    writer merely iterates the wait loop again -- a harmless retry.

  - A false zero (observing sum == 0 while a reader is still active)
    cannot happen: per_cpu_sum() reads each CPU's counter, and each
    per-CPU int read is atomic on all architectures, so an active
    reader's counter is always seen as non-zero.

Annotate the read with data_race() to suppress the KCSAN warning and
document the intentional nature of this unlocked access.

6cb423c96e static_call / jump_label: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in headers
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now
on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers.

This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement).

7577e00b9a locking/lockdep: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __lock_set_class()
register_lock_class() can return NULL when the lock class pool is
exhausted, graph_lock() fails, or key validation fails. However,
__lock_set_class() uses the return value directly in pointer arithmetic
without a NULL check:

  class = register_lock_class(lock, subclass, 0);
  hlock->class_idx = class - lock_classes;

If class is NULL, this computes a wild offset that corrupts
hlock->class_idx. The subsequent reacquire_held_locks() call will
invoke hlock_class() with this corrupted index, leading to a NULL or
out-of-bounds pointer dereference.

Add the missing NULL check, consistent with how __lock_acquire() already
handles this case at the same call site.

140234b238 md/raid1: create serial pool adding rdev to array with serialize_policy=1
The following bug has been observed with kernel 7.1.3 after adding a new
rdev to an existing RAID1 array with serialize_policy enabled:

  Oops: 0002 [#1]
  CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 19639 Comm: ext4lazyinit Not tainted 7.1.3-1-default

The raid1.c code calls wait_for_serialization() if the MD_SERIALIZE_POLICY
is set, and wait_for_serialization assumes that rdev->serial is
initialized. Normally this will be the case for arrays that have
the serialize_policy sysfs attribute set to 1.

But when a new rdev is added to an existing array in bind_rdev_to_array(),
the condition at mddev_create_serial_pool() causes creation of rdev->serial
to be skipped. Fix it.

fs/pipe: unify the page pools into a single per-pipe pool
Pipes keep two separate page caches:
 a) The per-pipe, lock-protected tmp_page[2]
 b) An on-stack anon_pipe_prealloc burst pool of up to eight pages
    filled before the lock

Converge them into a single per-pipe pool (struct anon_pipe_prealloc
embedded in pipe_inode_info) with the same budget as before: up to
PIPE_PREALLOC_MAX (8) pages, trimmed back to PIPE_PREALLOC_KEEP (2)
after each operation. tmp_page[2] is removed.

Pages are still allocated and freed outside pipe->mutex; only the
assignment into the pool is done under it. The pool count is also read
locklessly in the prefill path, so it is annotated __data_racy.

anon_pipe_prefill_and_lock() tops the pool up to the write's page count
-- and returns with pipe->mutex held, so a write acquires the lock only
once.

anon_pipe_trim_and_unlock() trims the pool under that same lock before
dropping it, then frees the excess.

f797d7b64e
eventpoll: compute timer slack lazily in ep_poll()
ep_poll() computes the timer slack via select_estimate_accuracy() up front,
before checking whether events are already available.
select_estimate_accuracy() reads the clock (ktime_get_ts64()), and the
resulting slack is only consumed by the schedule_hrtimeout_range() call on
the blocking path.

A busy poller such as an L7 proxy event loop calls epoll_wait() at a very
high rate and often finds events already pending, returning via
ep_try_send_events() without ever blocking.  In that case the up-front
slack estimation - including its clock read - is pure overhead.  read_tsc()
attributable to select_estimate_accuracy() sometimes shows up in perf profiles
of such a workload via the epoll_wait() path.

Move the slack estimation to the point where the thread is actually about
to sleep.  The timeout passed to ep_poll() is already an absolute deadline
(ep_timeout_to_timespec()), so deferring the estimate does not change the
wakeup time; taken closer to the sleep it is, if anything, marginally more
accurate.  On the common non-blocking path the clock read is skipped
entirely.

Measured on a host running a Meta production workload with the following
bpftrace script:

  #!/usr/bin/bpftrace
  fentry:__x64_sys_epoll_wait,
  fentry:__x64_sys_epoll_pwait   { @in[tid] = 1; }
  fexit:__x64_sys_epoll_wait,
  fexit:__x64_sys_epoll_pwait    { delete(@in, tid); }
  fentry:select_estimate_accuracy /@in[tid]/ { @sea++; }
  fentry:schedule_hrtimeout_range /@in[tid]/ { @shr++; }
  interval:s:30 {
      printf("sea=%lld shr=%lld wasted=%lld (%d%%)\n",
             @sea, @shr, @sea - @shr, (@sea - @shr) * 100 / @sea);
      exit();
  }

Over a 30s window:

sea=3,587,704 shr=3,003,920 wasted=583,784 (16%)

So ~16% of ep_poll invocations of select_estimate_accuracy have no
consumer.

Merge patch series "put_mnt_ns(): leave mounts connected"
Noah Orlando <Noah.Orlando@deshaw.com> says:

When a mount namespace is destroyed, put_mnt_ns() disconnects its mounts
from their mount points. A file descriptor still open on the parent of a
mount point can then be used to look under the mount point.

Locked mounts are kept connected to prevent this. However, a mount is
only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. A
mount namespace set up by a privileged component has no locked mounts,
so its mounts are disconnected.

Pass UMOUNT_CONNECTED so every mount is kept connected, as locked mounts
already are.

from their mount points. A file descriptor still open on the parent of a
mount point can then be used to look under the mount point.

Locked mounts are kept connected to prevent this. However, a mount is
only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. A
mount namespace set up by a privileged component has no locked mounts,
so its mounts are disconnected.

Pass UMOUNT_CONNECTED so every mount is kept connected, as locked mounts
already are.

Merge patch series "fs: Move long delayed work on system_dfl_long_wq"
Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> says:

fs: Move long delayed work on system_dfl_long_wq

Hello,

Currently the code uses the per-cpu workqueue system_long_wq to schedule
long running works.

Unbound works could benefit from scheduler task placement, to optimize
performance and power consumption. Another good reason to have this unbound,
is the "queue_delayed_work()" function, used to enqueue the work item.
More details on this will follow in the next section.

Recently, a new unbound workqueue specific for long running work has been
added:

    c116737e97 ("workqueue: Add system_dfl_long_wq for long unbound works")

~~~ Details about queue_delayed_work ~~~

system_long_wq is a per-cpu workqueue and it is used as a parameter of
queue_delayed_work(). This function schedule an item that it will later
be enqueued (once the timer will fire). __queue_delayed_work() does the job
receiving as "cpu" WORK_CPU_UNBOUND:

    if (housekeeping_enabled(HK_TYPE_TIMER)) {
    //      [....]
    } else {
            if (likely(cpu == WORK_CPU_UNBOUND))
                    add_timer_global(timer);
            else
                    add_timer_on(timer, cpu);
    }

The timer is global, so can fire everywhere, and the work item will be
enqueued where the timer fired.

Since the workqueue work doesn't rely on per-cpu variables, there is no
obvious reason that justify the use of a per-cpu workqueue. So change the
workqueue with the new system_dfl_long_wq, so that the used workqueue is
now unbound and can benefit from scheduler task placement.

affs: Move long delayed work on system_dfl_long_wq
Currently the code enqueue work items using {queue|mod}_delayed_work(),
using system_long_wq. This workqueue should be used when long works are
expected and it is a per-cpu workqueue.

The function(s) end up calling __queue_delayed_work(), which set a global
timer that could fire anywhere, enqueuing the work where the timer fired.

Unbound works could benefit from scheduler task placement, to optimize
performance and power consumption. Long work shouldn't stick to a single
CPU.

Recently, a new unbound workqueue specific for long running work has
been added:

    c116737e972e ("workqueue: Add system_dfl_long_wq for long unbound works")

Since the workqueue work doesn't rely on per-cpu variables, there is no
obvious reason that justify the use of a per-cpu workqueue. So change
system_long_wq with system_dfl_long_wq so that the work may benefit from
scheduler task placement.
