ep_events_available() checks for available events by looking at
ep->rdllist and ep_is_scanning(). However, this is done without a lock
and can report false negative if ep_start_scan() or ep_done_scan() are
executed by another task concurrently. For example:
_________________________________________________________________________
|ep_start_scan()
| list_splice_init(&ep->rdllist, ...)
ep_events_available() |
!list_empty_careful(&ep->rdllist)|
|| ep_is_scanning(ep) |
| ep_enter_scan(ep)
___________________________________|_____________________________________
Another example:
_________________________________________________________________________
ep_events_available() |
|ep_start_scan()
| list_splice_init(&ep->rdllist, ...)
| ep_enter_scan(ep)
!list_empty_careful(&ep->rdllist)|
|ep_done_scan()
| ep_exit_scan(ep)
| list_splice(..., &ep->rdllist)
|| ep_is_scanning(ep) |
___________________________________|_____________________________________
In the above examples, ep_events_available() sees no event despite
events being available. In case epoll_wait() is called with timeout=0,
epoll_wait() will wrongly return "no event" to user.
Introduce a sequence lock to resolve this issue.
Measuring the time consumption of 10 million loop iterations doing
epoll_wait(), the following performance drop is observed:
timeout #event before after diff
0ms 0 3727ms 3974ms +6.6%
0ms 1 8099ms 9134ms +13%
1ms 1 13525ms 13586ms +0.45%
Considering the use case of epoll_wait() (wait for events, do something
with the events, repeat), it should only contribute to a small portion of
user's CPU consumption. Therefore this performance drop is not alarming.

The OSS sequencer write and out-of-band paths may receive a temporary

to keep MIDI device data alive until events with embedded SysEx data are

Use a scoped cleanup helper for that temporary reference. This keeps the

defines a local cleanup helper for this pattern, while other core paths
still open-code the release.
Move the helper to the common ALSA core header and use it in control-layer

When NVMe-TCP controller setup and teardown are repeated with lockdep
enabled, lockdep reports false positives WARN for the following locks:
1) &q->elevator_lock : IO scheduler change context
2) &q->q_usage_counter(io) : SCSI disk probe context
3) fs_reclaim : CPU hotplug bring-up context
4) cpu_hotplug_lock : socket establishment context
5) sk_lock-AF_INET-NVME : MQ sched dispatch context for the socket
6) set->srcu : NVMe controller delete context
The lockdep WARN was observed by running blktests test case nvme/005 for
tcp transport on v7.1-rc1 kernel with a patch. Refer to the Link tag for
the details of the WARN.
This is a false positive because lockdep confuses lock 4) (socket
establishment) with lock 5) (socket in use) for different socket
instances. The locks belong to different sockets, but lockdep treats
them as the same due to shared static lockdep keys.
Fix this by using dynamically allocated lockdep keys per socket instance
instead of static keys nvme_tcp_sk_key[] and nvme_tcp_slock_key[]. Add
nvme_tcp_sk_key and nvme_tcp_slock_key fields to struct nvme_tcp_queue
and pass them to sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for proper lockdep
tracking. Change the argument of nvme_tcp_reclassify_socket() from
'struct socket *' to 'struct nvme_tcp_queue *' to pass both the socket
and the keys. Add CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC guards to nvme_tcp_alloc_queue()
and nvme_tcp_free_queue() to register and unregister the dynamic keys.
Additionally, move nvme_tcp_reclassify_socket() inside these guards since
it's only needed when lockdep is enabled.

The IOCB_DONTCACHE writeback path in generic_write_sync() calls
filemap_flush_range() on every write, submitting writeback inline in
the writer's context. Perf lock contention profiling shows the
performance problem is not lock contention but the writeback submission
work itself — walking the page tree and submitting I/O blocks the writer
for milliseconds, inflating p99.9 latency from 23ms (buffered) to 93ms
(dontcache).
Replace the inline filemap_flush_range() call with a flusher kick that
drains dirty pages in the background. This moves writeback submission
completely off the writer's hot path.
To avoid flushing unrelated buffered dirty data, add a dedicated
WB_start_dontcache bit and wb_check_start_dontcache() handler that uses
the per-wb WB_DONTCACHE_DIRTY counter to determine how many pages to
write back. The flusher writes back that many pages from the oldest dirty
inodes (not restricted to dontcache-specific inodes). This helps
preserve I/O batching while limiting the scope of expedited writeback.
Like WB_start_all, the WB_start_dontcache bit coalesces multiple
DONTCACHE writes into a single flusher wakeup without per-write
allocations. Use test_and_clear_bit to atomically consume the kick
request before reading the dirty counter and starting writeback, so that
concurrent DONTCACHE writes during writeback can re-set the bit and
schedule a follow-up flusher run.
Read the dirty counter with wb_stat_sum() (aggregating per-CPU batches)
rather than wb_stat() (which reads only the global counter) to ensure
small writes below the percpu batch threshold are visible to the flusher.
In filemap_dontcache_kick_writeback(), set the WB_start_dontcache bit
inside the unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end section for correct cgroup
writeback domain targeting, but defer the wb_wakeup() call until after
the section ends, since wb_wakeup() uses spin_unlock_irq() which would
unconditionally re-enable interrupts while the i_pages xa_lock may still
be held under irqsave during a cgroup writeback switch. Pin the wb with
wb_get() inside the RCU critical section before calling wb_wakeup()
outside it, since cgroup bdi_writeback structures are RCU-freed and the
wb pointer could become invalid after unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() drops
the RCU read lock.
Also add WB_REASON_DONTCACHE as a new writeback reason for tracing
visibility.
dontcache-bench results (same host, T6F_SKL_1920GBF, 251 GiB RAM,
xfs on NVMe, fio io_uring):
Buffered and direct I/O paths are unaffected by this patchset. All
improvements are confined to the dontcache path:
Single-stream throughput (MB/s):
Before After Change
seq-write/dontcache 298 897 +201%
rand-write/dontcache 131 236 +80%
Tail latency improvements (seq-write/dontcache):
p99: 135,266 us -> 23,986 us (-82%)
p99.9: 8,925,479 us -> 28,443 us (-99.7%)
Multi-writer (4 jobs, sequential write):
Before After Change
dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 2,529 4,532 +79%
dontcache p99 (us) 8,553 1,002 -88%
dontcache p99.9 (us) 109,314 1,057 -99%
Dontcache multi-writer throughput now matches buffered (4,532 vs
4,616 MB/s).
32-file write (Axboe test):
Before After Change
dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 1,548 3,499 +126%
dontcache p99 (us) 10,170 602 -94%
Peak dirty pages (MB) 1,837 213 -88%
Dontcache now reaches 81% of buffered throughput (was 35%).
Competing writers (dontcache vs buffered, separate files):
Before After
buffered writer 868 433 MB/s
dontcache writer 415 433 MB/s
Aggregate 1,284 866 MB/s
Previously the buffered writer starved the dontcache writer 2:1.
With per-bdi_writeback tracking, both writers now receive equal
bandwidth. The aggregate matches the buffered-vs-buffered baseline
(863 MB/s), indicating fair sharing regardless of I/O mode.
The dontcache writer's p99.9 latency collapsed from 119 ms to
33 ms (-73%), eliminating the severe periodic stalls seen in the
baseline. Both writers now share identical latency profiles,
matching the buffered-vs-buffered pattern.
The per-bdi_writeback dirty tracking dramatically reduces peak dirty
pages in dontcache workloads, with the 32-file test dropping from
1.8 GB to 213 MB. Dontcache sequential write throughput triples and
multi-writer throughput reaches parity with buffered I/O, with tail
latencies collapsing by 1-2 orders of magnitude.

Add a per-wb WB_DONTCACHE_DIRTY counter that tracks the number of dirty
pages with the dropbehind flag set (i.e., pages dirtied via RWF_DONTCACHE
writes).
Increment the counter alongside WB_RECLAIMABLE in folio_account_dirtied()
when the folio has the dropbehind flag set, and decrement it in
folio_clear_dirty_for_io() and folio_account_cleaned(). Also decrement it
when a non-DONTCACHE lookup atomically clears the dropbehind flag on a
dirty folio in __filemap_get_folio_mpol(), using folio_test_clear_dropbehind()
to prevent concurrent lookups from double-decrementing the counter, and
guarding the decrement with mapping_can_writeback() to match the increment
path.
Transfer the counter alongside WB_RECLAIMABLE in inode_do_switch_wbs() so
that the stat is properly migrated when an inode switches cgroup writeback
domains.
The counter will be used by the writeback flusher to determine how many
pages to write back when expediting writeback for IOCB_DONTCACHE writes,
without flushing the entire BDI's dirty pages.

is not included. When a large folio with PG_dropbehind set is split,
only the head sub-folio retains the flag; all tail sub-folios silently
lose it and will not be reclaimed eagerly after writeback completes.
Add PG_dropbehind to the flag copy mask so that the drop-behind hint
is preserved across folio splits.

Use the kernel's PAGE_ALIGN() macro instead of open-coding the page
alignment calculation. This improves code readability and follows
kernel coding style.
The manual calculation:
mult = len / PAGE_SIZE;
remainder = len % PAGE_SIZE;
len = mult * PAGE_SIZE;
len += remainder ? PAGE_SIZE : 0;
is equivalent to:
len = PAGE_ALIGN(len);

The function qc_usb_audio_offload_fill_avail_pcms() always returns -1
regardless of how many PCM devices were successfully filled. This makes
it impossible for callers to know the actual number of available PCMs.
Return the actual count of filled PCM devices instead, which allows
callers to verify that all expected PCMs were properly enumerated.

The current code uses sprintf() to format control names without bounds
checking, which could lead to buffer overflow if PCM index is large.
Replace sprintf with snprintf to ensure buffer safety.
The ctl_name buffer is 48 bytes, and the formatted string could exceed
this with large PCM index values. Using snprintf with sizeof(ctl_name)
prevents potential buffer overflow.

John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> says:
This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning added
by commit 1e7ab6f678 ("anon_inode: rework assertions"). Christoph
pointed out that the fix belongs higher up: a pseudo filesystem has no
reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC by default. This series does that.
* Patch 1 sets both flags in init_pseudo(), so every pseudo
filesystem gets them. This is the only patch that changes a flag,
and the only one with Fixes:/Cc: stable.
* Patch 2 drops the assignments that are now redundant in the callers
that set them by hand.
Most callers already set one or both flags. I audited every
init_pseudo() caller. Here is what patch 1 actually changes for each.
The only visible effect is on dma-buf, where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the
warning. SB_I_NODEV is never consulted on these SB_NOUSER mounts, and
none of the callers that gain SB_I_NOEXEC are executed from.

Since commit 1e7ab6f678 ("anon_inode: rework assertions"),
path_noexec() warns when an anonymous-inode file is mmap'd from a
superblock that has not set SB_I_NOEXEC. dma-buf backs its files this
way and never set the flag, so mmap of any exported buffer trips the
warning on a CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS=y kernel:
WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 121813 at fs/exec.c:118 path_noexec+0x47/0x50
do_mmap+0x2b5/0x680
vm_mmap_pgoff+0x129/0x210
ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x177/0x240
__x64_sys_mmap+0x33/0x70
init_pseudo() sets up internal SB_NOUSER mounts that are never
path-reachable. Set both flags here so every pseudo filesystem gets
them by default instead of each caller setting them.
SB_I_NODEV is inert for unreachable mounts. SB_I_NOEXEC has one
visible effect: an executable mapping of a pseudo-fs fd, such as a
dma-buf, now fails with -EPERM, which is the invariant the assertion
enforces. No in-tree caller maps these executable.
Reproduce on CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS=y:
make -C tools/testing/selftests/dmabuf-heaps
sudo ./tools/testing/selftests/dmabuf-heaps/dmabuf-heap -t system

When a buffered read fails, iomap_finish_folio_read() reports the error
with fserror_report_io(folio->mapping->host, ...). This is called after
ifs->read_bytes_pending has been decremented by the bytes attempted to
be read.
For a folio split across multiple read completions, the folio is only
guaranteed to stay locked while read_bytes_pending > 0. Once
iomap_finish_folio_read() decrements read_bytes_pending, another
in-flight read can complete and end the read on the folio, which unlocks
it. This allows truncate logic to run and detach the folio (set
folio->mapping to NULL). The error reporting path then can dereference a
NULL folio->mapping. As reported by Sam Sun, this is the race that can
occur:
CPU0: failed completion CPU1: final completion CPU2: truncate
----------------------- ---------------------- --------------
read_bytes_pending -= len
finished = false
/* preempted before
fserror_report_io() */
read_bytes_pending -= len
finished = true
folio_end_read()
truncate clears
folio->mapping
fserror_report_io(
folio->mapping->host, ...)
^ NULL deref
Fix this by reporting the error first before decrementing
ifs->read_bytes_pending.

may_decode_fh() accesses mount::mnt_ns without holding any locks; that
means the mount can concurrently be unmounted, and the mnt_namespace can
concurrently be freed after an RCU grace period.
This race can happens as follows, assuming that the mount point was
created by open_tree(..., OPEN_TREE_CLONE):
thread 1 thread 2 RCU

Fix it by taking rcu_read_lock() around the mount::mnt_ns access, like
in __prepend_path().
Additionally, document the semantics of mount::mnt_ns, and use WRITE_ONCE()
for writers that can race with lockless readers.
This bug is unreachable unless one of the following is set:
- CONFIG_PREEMPTION
- CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD
because it requires an RCU grace period to happen during a syscall without
an explicit preemption.
This doesn't seem to have interesting security impact; worst-case, it could
leak the result of an integer comparison to userspace (from the level
check in cap_capable()), cause an endless loop, or crash the kernel by
dereferencing an invalid address.

`-Zdebug-info-for-profiling` flag has been renamed to
`-Zdebuginfo-for-profiling` (i.e. one less dash, to match `debuginfo`s
in other flags) [1].
Without this change, one gets in the latest nightlies:
error: unknown unstable option: `debug-info-for-profiling`
Thus pass the right name.

The rt1711h Type-C controller on the HiKey960 has the USB role-switch
endpoint placed as a top-level 'port' node, outside the connector
subnode. This triggers two dtbs_check warnings against
richtek,rt1711h.yaml:
- 'port' does not match any of the regexes: '^pinctrl-[0-9]+$'
- connector:ports: 'port@0' is a required property
Move the role-switch endpoint into the connector's port@0, which is
where usb-connector.yaml expects it. Update the DWC3 remote-endpoint
phandle accordingly.
The TCPM core (tcpm.c) looks up the role switch starting from the
connector fwnode via fwnode_usb_role_switch_get(). With the endpoint
inside the connector's port@0, it is found through the primary lookup
path rather than the device-level fallback.

The info->node RB-tree member is zero-initialized via kzalloc. If
a device does not support ATS, the device_rbtree_insert() call is
skipped. If a subsequent probe step fails, the error path jumps to
device_rbtree_remove(), which misinterprets the zeroed node as
a tree root and corrupts the device RB-tree.
Fix this by explicitly initializing the RB-node as empty using
RB_CLEAR_NODE() during initialization and guarding the removal with
RB_EMPTY_NODE().
