gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - Remove incorrect __user annotation from struct xattr_args::value - Documentation fix: Add missing kernel-doc description for the @isnew parameter in ilookup5_nowait() to silence Sphinx warnings - Documentation fix: Fix kernel-doc comment for __start_dirop() - the function name in the comment was wrong and the @state parameter was undocumented - Replace dynamic folio_batch allocation with stack allocation in iomap_zero_range(). The dynamic allocation was problematic for ext4-on-iomap work (didn't handle allocation failure properly) and triggered lockdep complaints. Uses a flag instead to control batch usage - Re-add #ifdef guards around PIDFD_GET_<ns-type>_NAMESPACE ioctls. When a namespace type is disabled, ns->ops is NULL, causes crashes during inode eviction when closing the fd. The ifdefs were removed in a recent simplification but are still needed - Fixe a race where a folio could be unlocked before the trailing zeros (for EOF within the page) were written - Split out a dedicated lease_dispose_list() helper since lease code paths always know they're disposing of leases. Removes unnecessary runtime flag checks and prepares for upcoming lease_manager enhancements - Fix userland delegation requests succeeding despite conflicting opens. Previously, FL_LAYOUT and FL_DELEG leases bypassed conflict checks (a hack for nfsd). Adds new ->lm_open_conflict() lease_manager operation so userland delegations get proper conflict checking while nfsd can continue its own conflict handling - Fix LOOKUP_CACHED path lookups incorrectly falling through to the slow path. After legitimize_links() calls were conditionally elided, the routine would always fail with LOOKUP_CACHED regardless of whether there were any links. Now the flag is checked at the two callsites before calling legitimize_links() - Fix bug in media fd allocation in media_request_alloc() - Fix mismatched API calls in ecryptfs_mknod(): was calling end_removing() instead of end_creating() after ecryptfs_start_creating_dentry() - Fix dentry reference count leak in ecryptfs_mkdir(): a dget() of the lower parent dir was added but never dput()'d, causing BUG during lower filesystem unmount due to the still-in-use dentry * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc5.fixes' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: pidfs: protect PIDFD_GET_* ioctls() via ifdef ecryptfs: Release lower parent dentry after creating dir ecryptfs: Fix improper mknod pairing of start_creating()/end_removing() get rid of bogus __user in struct xattr_args::value VFS: fix __start_dirop() kernel-doc warnings fs: Describe @isnew parameter in ilookup5_nowait() fs: make sure to fail try_to_unlazy() and try_to_unlazy() for LOOKUP_CACHED netfs: Fix early read unlock of page with EOF in middle filelock: allow lease_managers to dictate what qualifies as a conflict filelock: add lease_dispose_list() helper iomap: replace folio_batch allocation with stack allocation media: mc: fix potential use-after-free in media_request_alloc()

If we are trying to unlock the filesystem via an administrative interface and nfsd isn't running, it crashes the server.

2026-01-02nfsd: provide locking for v4_end_graceNeilBrown4-5/+44
Writing to v4_end_grace can race with server shutdown and result in memory being accessed after it was freed - reclaim_str_hashtbl in particularly. We cannot hold nfsd_mutex across the nfsd4_end_grace() call as that is held while client_tracking_op->init() is called and that can wait for an upcall to nfsdcltrack which can write to v4_end_grace, resulting in a deadlock. nfsd4_end_grace() is also called by the landromat work queue and this doesn't require locking as server shutdown will stop the work and wait for it before freeing anything that nfsd4_end_grace() might access. However, we must be sure that writing to v4_end_grace doesn't restart the work item after shutdown has already waited for it. For this we add a new flag protected with nn->client_lock. It is set only while it is safe to make client tracking calls, and v4_end_grace only schedules work while the flag is set with the spinlock held. So this patch adds a nfsd_net field "client_tracking_active" which is set as described. Another field "grace_end_forced", is set when v4_end_grace is written. After this is set, and providing client_tracking_active is set, the laundromat is scheduled. This "grace_end_forced" field bypasses other checks for whether the grace period has finished. This resolves a race which can result in use-after-free.

Commit abc02e5602f7 ("NFSD: Support write delegations in LAYOUTGET") added NFSD_MAY_OWNER_OVERRIDE to the access flags passed from nfsd4_layoutget() to fh_verify(). This causes LAYOUTGET to fail for executable-only files, and causes xfstests generic/126 to fail on pNFS SCSI. To allow read access to executable-only files, what we really want is: 1. The "permissions" portion of the access flags (the lower 6 bits) must be exactly NFSD_MAY_READ 2. The "hints" portion of the access flags (the upper 26 bits) can contain any combination of NFSD_MAY_OWNER_OVERRIDE and NFSD_MAY_READ_IF_EXEC Fixes: abc02e5602f7 ("NFSD: Support write delegations in LAYOUTGET") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.6+ Signed-off-by: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
2026-01-02NFSD: Remove NFSERR_EAGAINChuck Lever2-2/+1
I haven't found an NFSERR_EAGAIN in RFCs 1094, 1813, 7530, or 8881. None of these RFCs have an NFS status code that match the numeric value "11". Based on the meaning of the EAGAIN errno, I presume the use of this status in NFSD means NFS4ERR_DELAY. So replace the one usage of nfserr_eagain, and remove it from NFSD's NFS status conversion tables. As far as I can tell, NFSERR_EAGAIN has existed since the pre-git era, but was not actually used by any code until commit f4e44b393389 ("NFSD: delay unmount source's export after inter-server copy completed."), at which time it become possible for NFSD to return a status code of 11 (which is not valid NFS protocol).

2025-12-24nfsd: use ATTR_DELEG in nfsd4_finalize_deleg_timestamps()Jeff Layton1-1/+1
When finalizing timestamps that have never been updated and preparing to release the delegation lease, the notify_change() call can trigger a delegation break, and fail to update the timestamps. When this happens, there will be messages like this in dmesg: [ 2709.375785] Unable to update timestamps on inode 00:39:263: -11 Since this code is going to release the lease just after updating the timestamps, breaking the delegation is undesirable.

2025-12-24nfsd: fix nfsd_file reference leak in nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg()Chuck Lever1-4/+10
nfsd4_add_rdaccess_to_wrdeleg() unconditionally overwrites fp->fi_fds[O_RDONLY] with a newly acquired nfsd_file. However, if the client already has a SHARE_ACCESS_READ open from a previous OPEN operation, this action overwrites the existing pointer without releasing its reference, orphaning the previous reference. Additionally, the function originally stored the same nfsd_file pointer in both fp->fi_fds[O_RDONLY] and fp->fi_rdeleg_file with only a single reference. When put_deleg_file() runs, it clears fi_rdeleg_file and calls nfs4_file_put_access() to release the file. However, nfs4_file_put_access() only releases fi_fds[O_RDONLY] when the fi_access[O_RDONLY] counter drops to zero. If another READ open exists on the file, the counter remains elevated and the nfsd_file reference from the delegation is never released. This potentially causes open conflicts on that file. Then, on server shutdown, these leaks cause __nfsd_file_cache_purge() to encounter files with an elevated reference count that cannot be cleaned up, ultimately triggering a BUG() in kmem_cache_destroy() because there are still nfsd_file objects allocated in that cache.

2025-12-18NFSD: NFSv4 file creation neglects setting ACLChuck Lever1-1/+2
An NFSv4 client that sets an ACL with a named principal during file creation retrieves the ACL afterwards, and finds that it is only a default ACL (based on the mode bits) and not the ACL that was requested during file creation. This violates RFC 8881 section 6.4.1.3: "the ACL attribute is set as given". The issue occurs in nfsd_create_setattr(), which calls nfsd_attrs_valid() to determine whether to call nfsd_setattr(). However, nfsd_attrs_valid() checks only for iattr changes and security labels, but not POSIX ACLs. When only an ACL is present, the function returns false, nfsd_setattr() is skipped, and the POSIX ACL is never applied to the inode. Subsequently, when the client retrieves the ACL, the server finds no POSIX ACL on the inode and returns one generated from the file's mode bits rather than returning the originally-specified ACL.

2025-12-18nfsd: fix memory leak in nfsd_create_serv error pathsShardul Bankar1-1/+4
When nfsd_create_serv() calls percpu_ref_init() to initialize nn->nfsd_net_ref, it allocates both a percpu reference counter and a percpu_ref_data structure (64 bytes). However, if the function fails later due to svc_create_pooled() returning NULL or svc_bind() returning an error, these allocations are not cleaned up, resulting in a memory leak. The leak manifests as: - Unreferenced percpu allocation (8 bytes per CPU) - Unreferenced percpu_ref_data structure (64 bytes) Fix this by adding percpu_ref_exit() calls in both error paths to properly clean up the percpu_ref_init() allocations. This patch fixes the percpu_ref leak in nfsd_create_serv() seen as an auxiliary leak in syzbot report 099461f8558eb0a1f4f3; the prepare_creds() and vsock-related leaks in the same report remain to be addressed separately.

2025-12-15filelock: allow lease_managers to dictate what qualifies as a conflictJeff Layton2-2/+40
Requesting a delegation on a file from the userland fcntl() interface currently succeeds when there are conflicting opens present. This is because the lease handling code ignores conflicting opens for FL_LAYOUT and FL_DELEG leases. This was a hack put in place long ago, because nfsd already checks for conflicts in its own way. The kernel needs to perform this check for userland delegations the same way it is done for leases, however. Make this dependent on the lease_manager by adding a new ->lm_open_conflict() lease_manager operation and have generic_add_lease() call that instead of check_conflicting_open(). Morph check_conflicting_open() into a ->lm_open_conflict() op that is only called for userland leases/delegations. Set the ->lm_open_conflict() operations for nfsd to trivial functions that always return 0.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro: "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually _stored_ anywhere. That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self). Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set claims responsibility for +1 in refcount. The end result this series is aiming for: - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear persistency flag. - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't been removed prior to umount), have the regular shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries, dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super(). Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many places in too many filesystems.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core & protocols: - Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list. Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles. - Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC queue. Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle, but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy. Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet reordering. - Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths. - Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already did for Rx skbs). - Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric. - Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines. - Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for packets. - Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock pressure, improving the Rx performance. - Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory. - Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting (using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using cgroups. - Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection. - Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of RTT. - Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the connection RTT is low. - Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations. - Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload. - Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC 5837). - Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449). - Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL. - Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock. - Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC. - Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length, from Kees. - Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers. - Some preparations for slimming down struct page. - YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard. - Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly computed derived statistics and summarized system state. Driver API: - Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface. - Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for 100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification. - Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in zl3073x). - Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads IPsec and performs RSS. - Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default. - Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload. - Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload. - Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes. Device drivers: - Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support. - Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series. - Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control, and away from the direct IOCTL handling. While at it support GET operations for PHY timestamping. - Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for reading the Rx ring count. - Significant refactoring efforts in the STMMAC driver, which supports Synopsys turn-key MAC IP integrated into a ton of SoCs. -

This series is part of a larger effort to change directory operation locking to allow multiple concurrent operations in a directory. The ultimate goal is to lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole parent directory. To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralizes locking and lookup in new helper functions. The helpers establish a pattern where it is the dentry that is being locked and unlocked (currently the lock is held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode, but that can change in the future). This also changes vfs_mkdir() to unlock the parent on failure, as well as dput()ing the dentry.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull directory delegations update from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work for recall-only directory delegations for knfsd. Add support for simple, recallable-only directory delegations. This was decided at the fall NFS Bakeathon where the NFS client and server maintainers discussed how to merge directory delegation support. The approach starts with recallable-only delegations for several reasons: 1. RFC8881 has gaps that are being addressed in RFC8881bis. In particular, it requires directory position information for CB_NOTIFY callbacks, which is difficult to implement properly under Linux. The spec is being extended to allow that information to be omitted. 2. Client-side support for CB_NOTIFY still lags. The client side involves heuristics about when to request a delegation. 3. Early indication shows simple, recallable-only delegations can help performance. Anna Schumaker mentioned seeing a multi-minute speedup in xfstests runs with them enabled. With these changes, userspace can also request a read lease on a directory that will be recalled on conflicting accesses. This may be useful for applications like Samba. Users can disable leases altogether via the fs.leases-enable sysctl if needed. VFS changes: - Dedicated Type for Delegations Introduce struct delegated_inode to track inodes that may have delegations that need to be broken. This replaces the previous approach of passing raw inode pointers through the delegation breaking code paths, providing better type safety and clearer semantics for the delegation machinery. - Break parent directory delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath - Allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent - Allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent - Add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_link(), vfs_rename(), and vfs_unlink() - Make vfs_create(), vfs_mknod(), and vfs_symlink() break delegations on parent directory - Clean up argument list for vfs_create() - Expose delegation support to userland Filelock changes: - Make lease_alloc() take a flags argument - Rework the __break_lease API to use flags - Add struct delegated_inode - Push the S_ISREG check down to ->setlease handlers - Lift the ban on directory leases in generic_setlease NFSD changes: - Allow filecache to hold S_IFDIR files - Allow DELEGRETURN on directories - Wire up GET_DIR_DELEGATION handling Fixes: - Fix kernel-doc warnings in __fcntl_getlease - Add needed headers for new struct delegation definition" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.directory.delegations' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: vfs: add needed headers for new struct delegation definition filelock: __fcntl_getlease: fix kernel-doc warnings vfs: expose delegation support to userland nfsd: wire up GET_DIR_DELEGATION handling nfsd: allow DELEGRETURN on directories nfsd: allow filecache to hold S_IFDIR files filelock: lift the ban on directory leases in generic_setlease vfs: make vfs_symlink break delegations on parent dir vfs: make vfs_mknod break delegations on parent directory vfs: make vfs_create break delegations on parent directory vfs: clean up argument list for vfs_create() vfs: break parent dir delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath vfs: allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent vfs: allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent vfs: add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_{link,rename,unlink} filelock: push the S_ISREG check down to ->setlease handlers filelock: add struct delegated_inode filelock: rework the __break_lease API to use flags filelock: make lease_alloc() take a flags argument

2025-12-01NFSD: Implement NFSD_IO_DIRECT for NFS WRITEMike Snitzer3-4/+144
When NFSD_IO_DIRECT is selected via the /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/io_cache_write experimental tunable, split incoming unaligned NFS WRITE requests into a prefix, middle and suffix segment, as needed. The middle segment is now DIO-aligned and the prefix and/or suffix are unaligned. Synchronous buffered IO is used for the unaligned segments, and IOCB_DIRECT is used for the middle DIO-aligned extent. Although IOCB_DIRECT avoids the use of the page cache, by itself it doesn't guarantee data durability. For UNSTABLE WRITE requests, durability is obtained by a subsequent NFS COMMIT request.

2025-12-01NFSD: Make FILE_SYNC WRITEs comply with specChuck Lever1-2/+12
Mike noted that when NFSD responds to an NFS_FILE_SYNC WRITE, it does not also persist file time stamps. To wit, Section 18.32.3 of RFC 8881 mandates: > The client specifies with the stable parameter the method of how > the data is to be processed by the server. If stable is > FILE_SYNC4, the server MUST commit the data written plus all file > system metadata to stable storage before returning results. This > corresponds to the NFSv2 protocol semantics. Any other behavior > constitutes a protocol violation. If stable is DATA_SYNC4, then > the server MUST commit all of the data to stable storage and > enough of the metadata to retrieve the data before returning. Commit 3f3503adb332 ("NFSD: Use vfs_iocb_iter_write()") replaced: - flags |= RWF_SYNC; with: + kiocb.ki_flags |= IOCB_DSYNC; which appears to be correct given: if (flags & RWF_SYNC) kiocb_flags |= IOCB_DSYNC; in kiocb_set_rw_flags(). However the author of that commit did not appreciate that the previous line in kiocb_set_rw_flags() results in IOCB_SYNC also being set: kiocb_flags |= (__force int) (flags & RWF_SUPPORTED); RWF_SUPPORTED contains RWF_SYNC, and RWF_SYNC is the same bit as IOCB_SYNC. Reviewers at the time did not catch the omission.
