2026-08-19vduse: add F_QUEUE_READY featureEugenio Pérez1-0/+18
Add the VDUSE_F_QUEUE_READY feature flag. This allows the kernel module to explicitly signal userspace when a specific virtqueue has been enabled. In scenarios like Live Migration of VirtIO net devices, the dataplane starts after the control virtqueue allowing QEMU to apply configuration in the destination device.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error. For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that the discrepancy is smoothed away over time - Make tick length calculations correct in NTP. The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH. While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM deviation. Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via adjtimex(). - The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run. Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to achieve the desired rate. - Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and adjusting both accordingly. - A set of updates and improvements for the selftests - The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place * tag 'timers-core-2026-08-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (58 commits) selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Check all calls to clock_nanosleep() and clock_gettime() selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nsleep-lat: Use NSEC_PER_MSEC define for unreasonable latency selftests: timers: nanosleep: Report each test separately selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly handle timer_delete() failure selftests: timers: nanosleep: Move all single clock tests out of the loop in main() selftests: timers: nanosleep: Reuse kselftest error numbers selftests: timers: nanosleep: Explicitly list the tested clocks selftests: timers: nanosleep: Drop output alignment selftests: timers: Use clock_name() and constants from clock-helpers.h selftests: Add clock-helpers.h timer_list: Use ktime_t over nanoseconds timer_list: Use standard 'long long' format placeholders hrtimer: Add a lockdep assertion to hrtimer_update_base() timekeeping: Use u32 for clock_was_set_seq timekeeping: Rename clockid_aux_valid() to clockid_is_aux_clock() hrtimer: Account nr_retries on recovered interrupt retries timers/itimer: Zero-init old itimerval before copy to userspace nohz: Replace dead select with choice default ...

The main subsystem level change is the work Morimoto-san has been doing to get automatic DAI format selection more widely deployed, and even that is largely changes in the drivers to enable use of the feature rather than framework work. - Conversions of a lot of drivers to use the automatic DAI format selection code from Morimoto-san. - Many fixes and code improvements from bui duc phuc and Morimoto-san. - Fixes for ordering problems in register default tables from Peter Ujfalusi. - Changes to use auto-cleanup for firmware to improve robustness from Takashi Iwai. - Support for firmware on more Awinc devices. - Many changes in the Qualcomm driver stack, mostly around new platform support. - Support for AMD ACP7.B/F, Cirrus Logic CS35L62, Loongson 2K0300, Meson GX formatter and interface, Qualcomm LPI MI2S, SM8475 and WSA855 and Realtek RT1321 VA1/2 and RT766/7.
2026-08-17Merge tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linuxLinus Torvalds1-1/+0
Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers: "The main change this cycle is a significant simplification that's been overdue for a while now: standardizing on a single file contents encryption implementation in ext4 and f2fs, instead of having two. Specifically, the original filesystem-layer file contents encryption implementation is removed, and the blk-crypto implementation is now used unconditionally. blk-crypto delegates either to inline crypto hardware or to the CPU via blk-crypto-fallback. The latter is functionally equivalent to the original filesystem-layer code. The blk-crypto implementation already existed, but previously it was used only when the filesystem was mounted with "-o inlinecrypt". Now, "-o inlinecrypt" just selects whether inline crypto hardware is used. To allow maintaining that user control over hardware use, the blk-crypto API is extended with a new flag BLK_CRYPTO_CFG_ALLOW_HW. Overall, this removes quite a bit of redundant code from ext4, f2fs, and fs/crypto/. It should make things easier for ongoing filesystem efforts such as iomap support, large folios, and btrfs encryption (btrfs had already been planning to use blk-crypto exclusively.) There are two small behavior changes of note: - Direct I/O now works on encrypted files even without "-o inlinecrypt", rather than falling back to buffered I/O. This is effectively a bugfix, though I'll continue to keep an eye out for any user that may have been depending on the buffered I/O fallback. - IV_INO_LBLK_32 policies are no longer supported in certain cases that didn't make sense and have no known uses. This has been in linux-next since July 22 with no reported issues. All encryption xfstests pass on ext4 and f2fs. As usual I've also been using it on a system with an fscrypt-encrypted home directory. Of course, the blk-crypto code paths also aren't new and were already being used on many systems via the inlinecrypt mount option. In addition to the main change described above, there are a few other cleanups such as using lock guards for mutexes, improving documentation, and removing a workaround for outdated gcc versions" * tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/linux: (29 commits) blk-crypto: Update docs for blk-crypto-fallback motivation blk-crypto: Remove unused function blk_crypto_config_supported() fscrypt: Update docs for data path fscrypt: Remove unused function fscrypt_finalize_bounce_page() f2fs: Update outdated comment in f2fs_write_begin() fs: Update outdated comment for SB_INLINECRYPT fscrypt: Update encryption policy version docs fscrypt: Replace some variable-size memsets with fixed-size fscrypt: Add safety checks to non-block-based en/decryption fscrypt: Merge bio.c and inline_crypt.c into block.c fscrypt: Remove unused functions and workqueue fscrypt: Remove fs-layer zeroout code fscrypt: Remove fscrypt_dio_supported() fscrypt: Replace calls to fscrypt_inode_uses_inline_crypto() fs/buffer: Remove fs-layer decryption code f2fs: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code ext4: Further de-generalize the bio postprocessing code ext4: Make ext4_bio_write_folio() return void ext4: Remove fs-layer file contents en/decryption code Documentation: fscrypt: Update docs for inlinecrypt ...
2026-08-17net: af_unix: useful handling of LSM denials on SCM_RIGHTSJori Koolstra1-0/+2
Right now if some LSM such as Smack denies an AF_UNIX socket peer to receive an SCM_RIGHTS fd, the SCM_RIGHTS fd array will be cut short at that point, and MSG_CTRUNC is set on return of recvmsg(). This is highly problematic behaviour, because it leaves the receiver wondering what happened. As per man page MSG_CTRUNC is supposed to indicate that the control buffer was sized too short, but suddenly a permission error might result in the exact same flag being set. Moreover, the receiver has no chance to determine how many fds got originally sent and how many were suppressed.[1] Add a SO_RIGHTS_NOTRUNC option to UNIX sockets to enable more useful handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages: instead of truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep every fd slot and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot. The socket option is inherited by the child accept() socket if set on the listen() socket.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Bigger cleanups: - The lockref dead-count handling is tidied up. The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker relies on information the caller should not have. - make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be used to peek under it. Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that. But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected. Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents that bug. - vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull binfmt updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains a bunch of work for binfmt_misc. It fixes a bunch of old bugs, reworks the locking, and then extends the format registry so a binary type can be matched programmatically and its interpreter computed per exec instead of being a fixed string recorded at registration time. This allows nixos and other to e.g., implement relocatable binaries meaning the interpreter/dynamic loader can be determined programatically, say found relative to the binary. The mechanism is flexible and can support other policies: - Handler lookup is now an rcu walk. An exec that matches no binfmt_misc entry should now never write to a shared cacheline - remove the VERBOSE_STATUS and USE_DEBUG compile time toggles - convert the entry file to a seq_file which simplifies things quite a bit and kills a lot of custom logic - make flags proper enums - rename struct Node to binfmt_misc_entry - allow entries to be removed with unlink(2) - Add the ability to attach bpf programs to binfmt_misc entries so it's possible to dynamically choose the execution environment such as the loader or interpreter on a per binary basis. A handler is an instance of a binfmt_misc_ops struct_ops with a ->match() and a ->load() program. match() decides from the entry lookup walk whether the handler applies under the same registration-order. It can read file content as needed not only the prefetched 256 bytes in bprm->buf. load() then selects the interpreter and stages it through the new bpf_binprm_set_interp(), bpf_binprm_set_interp_arg() and bpf_binprm_set_flags() kfuncs. Handlers are published in a registry keyed by the registering task's user namespace and activated through the existing text interface with a new 'B' type carrying the handler name: echo ':origin:B::::nix:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register The permission and namespacing model is unchanged. Activating a handler requires the same write access to an instance as any other registration. A container mounting its own instance escapes the host's entries exactly as before. The computed interpreter is opened with open_exec() under the caller's credentials and goes through full LSM vetting as the next binprm level. A program can only ever redirect the caller to something the caller could exec anyway. - Two dispatch modes are added. So far the chosen interpreter owns the whole process identity (argv[0], /proc/pid/cmdline, /proc/self/exe all name interpreter information). So relocatable find the dynamic linker instead. Also a binary passed to execveat() as an inaccessible O_CLOEXEC fd cannot run at all and gdb trips because AT_ENTRY and AT_PHDR do not match the exe file. So PIE symbols are unrelocated. This adds transparent dispatch which allows the interpreter to load the binary through AT_EXECFD and leaves the argument vector exactly as the caller built it and labels mm->exe_file and comm with the binary. It also raises the AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP aux vector bit. The interpreter keeps control of mapping the binary. The second mode is loader substitution. This allows a binary to be executed natively and only the interpreter to be changed. - Last, interpreters can be bound at registration time. Each interpreter is opened by its own write with the credentials the entry file was opened with. The program picks one per exec with bpf_binprm_select_interp(). Ucounts are used to properly account for pre-opened interpreters via /proc/sys/user/max_binfmt_misc_interpreters" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.binfmt' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (63 commits) binfmt_misc: document the pre-opened interpreter limit selftests/exec: test the pre-opened interpreter limit binfmt_misc: correctly account pre-opened interpreters binfmt_misc: document interpreters bound by a 'B' entry selftests/exec: test interpreters bound to a 'B' entry binfmt_misc: let a 'B' entry bind its interpreters binfmt_misc: carry pre-opened interpreters in struct binfmt_misc_interp selftests/exec: share the bpf handler preconditions binfmt_misc: document registering an entry disabled selftests/exec: test registering an entry disabled selftests/exec: let binfmt_flag_supported() return a bool selftests/exec: check that a binfmt_misc instance cannot be pinned binfmt_misc: let a register string create an entry disabled binfmt_misc: document loader substitution selftests/exec: test binfmt_misc loader substitution binfmt_misc: let a bpf handler request loader substitution binfmt_misc: add the 'L' loader substitution flag binfmt_elf_fdpic: consume a stashed PT_INTERP substitute binfmt_elf: consume a stashed PT_INTERP substitute exec: carry a PT_INTERP substitute in struct linux_binprm ...
2026-08-17fuse: add zero-copy over io-uringJoanne Koong1-0/+34
Implement zero-copy in fuse io-uring to eliminate memory copies between the application, kernel, and server for read/write operations. The server can directly access client pages or page cache folios without copying data through an intermediary buffer. When a fuse request arrives, the kernel registers the relevant pages into a sparse slot in the server's io_uring registered buffer table. The server can then operate on these pages directly using io-uring fixed buffer operations (eg read_fixed/write_fixed) and the kernel unregisters these pages when the request completes. Non-page-backed args (eg op out headers) will go through the payload buffer as normal. The server can specify which open files should have their reads/writes go through zero-copy, by setting the FOPEN_IO_URING_ZERO_COPY flag when servicing opens. This requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN and bufpools. This is gated behind CAP_SYS_ADMIN because zero-copy allows the server direct access to the client's underlying pages, rather than operating on an intermediary buffer that the contents of the client's pages were copied into or on page cache folios. The request flow for the zero-copy direct-io write path (client writes data, server reads it) is as follows: ======================================================================= | Kernel | FUSE server | | | "write(fd, buf, 1MB)" | | | | >sys_write() | | >fuse_file_write_iter() | | >fuse_send_one() | | [req->args->in_pages = true] | | [folios hold client write data] | | | | >fuse_uring_copy_to_ring() | | >copy_header_to_ring(IN_OUT) | | [memcpy fuse_in_header] | | >copy_header_to_ring(OP) | | [memcpy write_in header] | | | | >fuse_uring_args_to_ring() | | >setup_fuse_copy_state() | | [skip_folio_copy = true] | | | | >fuse_uring_set_up_zero_copy() | | [folio_get for each client folio] | | [build bio_vec array from folios] | | >io_buffer_register_bvec() | | [register pages at ent->zero_copy_index] | | [ent->zero_copied = true] | | | | >fuse_copy_args() | | [skip_folio_copy => return 0 | | for page arg, skip data copy] | | | | >copy_header_to_ring(RING_ENT) | | [memcpy ent_in_out] | | >io_uring_cmd_done() | | | | | [CQE received] | | | | [issue io_uring READ at | | ent->zero_copy_index] | | [reads directly from | |client's pages (ZERO_COPY)] | | | | [write data to backing | | store] | | [submit COMMIT AND FETCH] | | | >fuse_uring_commit_fetch() | | >fuse_uring_commit() | | >fuse_uring_copy_from_ring() | | >fuse_uring_req_end() | | >io_buffer_unregister(ent->zero_copy_index) | | [unregister pages from index] | | >fuse_zero_copy_release() | | [folio_put for each folio] | | [ent->zero_copied = false] | | >fuse_request_end() | | [wake up client] | The zero-copy read path is analogous. Some requests may have both page-backed args and non-page-backed args. For these requests, the page-backed args are zero-copied while the non-page-backed args are copied to the buffer selected from the buffer pool: zero-copy: pages registered via io_buffer_register_bvec() non-page-backed: copied to payload buffer via fuse_copy_args() For a request whose payload is zero-copied, the registration/unregistration path looks like: register: fuse_uring_set_up_zero_copy() folio_get() for each folio io_buffer_register_bvec(ent->zero_copy_index) unregister: fuse_uring_req_end() io_buffer_unregister(ent->zero_copy_index) -> fuse_zero_copy_release() callback folio_put() for each folio Please note that on abort for in-flight zero-copied requests that have been sent to userspace, the registered bvec slot remains occupied and its folios remain pinned until the io-uring ring is destroyed, at which point io-uring unregisters all buffers and the fuse_zero_copy_release() callback drops the folio references. Unregistering at teardown would require operating on the ring context directly, whose validity is hard to ascertain; this is deemed not worth the complexity for the abort race, since everything is freed when the ring is torn down. The throughput improvement from zero-copy depends on how much of the per-request latency is spent on data copying vs backing I/O. The gain comes from eliminating the payload-buffer memcpy, but accessing the zero-copied pages requires the server to issue the read/write as an IORING_OP_READ/WRITE_FIXED operation. The benefit is largest when the mempcy is a meaningful fraction of per-request latency while backing i/o is still noticable enough that the extra io-uring op's overhead doesn't dominate. Benchmarked with passthrough_hp (--nopassthrough, q_depth=8) on a 2-socket Intel Xeon Gold 6138 (40 cores / 80 threads), using fio (sync engine, bs=1M, O_DIRECT, numjobs=2, 30s run + 10s ramp, 3 runs) where direct-I/O throughput is against a RAM-backed (tmpfs) source (backing I/O is not the bottleneck): baseline registered-buf zero-copy (zc vs base) direct read ~5.1 GB/s ~5.4 GB/s ~8.9 GB/s (+75%) direct write ~3.4 GB/s ~4.8 GB/s ~5.1 GB/s (+50%) Reads end up higher than writes because the backing store reads faster than it writes (the baseline shows the same read>write gap, and the raw device does too). On a device-bound NVMe (~2 GB/s reads) the read gain shrinks to ~10-16% (and no measurable gains for writes), as backing I/O rather than the eliminated copy dominates latency. The benefit overall scales with how much of the per-request latency is the data copy versus backing I/O.

2026-08-17fuse: add io-uring buffer poolsJoanne Koong1-1/+20
Right now, ents and buffers are tightly coupled in fuse io-uring where each entry has its own dedicated payload buffer, requiring N buffers for N entries where each buffer must be large enough to accomodate the maximum payload size. This is suboptimal as most request types (lookup, open, release, getattr, etc) require vastly less bytes than the maximum payload size and some requests (unlink, rmdir, fsync, flush, etc) do not require payload buffers at all. Instead of requiring a 1:1 coupling between ents and payload buffers, allow the server to pass in a buffer pool (a contiguous chunk of memory) that the kernel will use as it wishes for servicing ents/requests. Entries only reserve a "buffer" from the pool while actively processing a request that requires a payload buffer. This decoupling and letting the kernel delegate memory from the pool for requests allows the kernel to optimize memory usage and reduces the memory usage requirements needed to use fuse-over-io-uring. A pool is registered per queue with the new FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_ADD_BUFPOOL command. The server passes the pool's base address and length in fuse_uring_cmd_req.bufpool.{uaddr,len}. Internally, the kernel splits the region into buffers of ring->max_payload_sz bytes each (nr_bufs = pool len / max_payload_sz). A queue commits to a payload mode on first use: registering an entry that carries its own payload selects the legacy per-entry mode, while ADD_BUFPOOL selects pool mode. The two are mutually exclusive, so ADD_BUFPOOL must be issued before any payload-carrying entries are registered on that queue. The queue must have been created before the bufpool is added, through the FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_ADD_QUEUE command. The kernel tracks free buffers with a bitmap (a set bit marks a free buffer). On dispatch, a request that needs a payload claims a free buffer (find_first_bit + clear). A request that needs none claims nothing. The buffer's byte offset within the pool is reported to the server in the new fuse_uring_ent_in_out.offset field so that the server can locate the payload. On completion the buffer is returned to the pool or reused directly if the next request on that entry also has a payload. The FUSE_HAS_IO_URING_BUFPOOL flag advertises kernel support to the server for bufpools.

2026-08-17fuse: add FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_ADD_QUEUEJoanne Koong1-1/+7
fuse-over-io-uring queues are currently created lazily, as a side effect of the first FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_REGISTER command for a given qid. This ties queue creation to entry registration. Add a FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_ADD_QUEUE command so a server can create a queue explicitly, decoupling queue setup from entry registration. This is additionally a prerequisite for FUSE_IO_URING_CMD_ADD_BUFPOOL, which attaches a buffer pool to an existing queue and therefore needs the queue to have been created first.
