Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.
This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0d7
("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
amplifies the lock contention and can fail.
As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec
- SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)
The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.
This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
gradually (some series are already in the works).
Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
implementation.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Yafang Shao added task_get_cgroup1() helper to enable a similar BPF
helper so that BPF progs can be more useful on cgroup1 hierarchies.
While cgroup1 is mostly in maintenance mode, this addition is very
small while having an outsized usefulness for users who are still on
cgroup1. Yafang also optimized root cgroup list access by making it
RCU protected in the process.
- Waiman Long optimized rstat operation leading to substantially lower
and more consistent lock hold time while flushing the hierarchical
statistics. As the lock can be acquired briefly in various hot paths,
this reduction has cascading benefits.
- Waiman also improved the quality of isolation for cpuset's isolated
partitions. CPUs which are allocated to isolated partitions are now
excluded from running unbound work items and cpu_is_isolated() test
which is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference now includes
cpuset isolated CPUs. While it isn't there yet, the hope is
eventually reaching parity with the isolation level provided by the
`isolcpus` boot param but in a dynamic manner.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Energy scheduling:
- Consolidate how the max compute capacity is used in the scheduler
and how we calculate the frequency for a level of utilization.
- Rework interface between the scheduler and the schedutil governor
- Simplify the util_est logic
Deadline scheduler:
- Work more towards reducing SCHED_DEADLINE starvation of low
priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) tasks when higher priority tasks
monopolize CPU cycles, via the introduction of 'deadline servers'
(nested/2-level scheduling).
"Fair servers" to make use of this facility are not introduced yet.
EEVDF:
- Introduce O(1) fastpath for EEVDF task selection
NUMA balancing:
- Tune the NUMA-balancing vma scanning logic some more, to better
distribute the probability of a particular vma getting scanned.

Pull vfs cachefiles updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains improvements for on-demand cachefiles.
If the daemon crashes and the on-demand cachefiles fd is unexpectedly
closed in-flight requests and subsequent read operations associated
with the fd will fail with EIO. This causes issues in various
scenarios as this failure is currently unrecoverable.
The work contained in this pull request introduces a failover mode and
enables the daemon to recover in-flight requested-related objects. A
restarted daemon will be able to process requests as usual.
This requires that in-flight requests are stored during daemon crash
or while the daemon is offline. In addition, a handle to
/dev/cachefiles needs to be stored.
This can be done by e.g., systemd's fdstore (cf. [1]) which enables
the restarted daemon to recover state.
Three new states are introduced in this patchset:
(1) CLOSE
Object is closed by the daemon.
(2) OPEN
Object is open and ready for processing. IOW, the open request
has been handled successfully.
(3) REOPENING
Object has been previously closed and is now reopened due to a
read request.
A restarted daemon can recover the /dev/cachefiles fd from systemd's
fdstore and writes "restore" to the device. This causes the object
state to be reset from CLOSE to REOPENING and reinitializes the
object.
The daemon may now handle the open request. Any in-flight operations
are restored and handled avoiding interruptions for users"

Pull vfs rw updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains updates from Amir for read-write backing file helpers
for stacking filesystems such as overlayfs:
- Fanotify is currently in the process of introducing pre content
events. Roughly, a new permission event will be added indicating
that it is safe to write to the file being accessed. These events
are used by hierarchical storage managers to e.g., fill the content
of files on first access.
During that work we noticed that our current permission checking is
inconsistent in rw_verify_area() and remap_verify_area().
Especially in the splice code permission checking is done multiple
times. For example, one time for the whole range and then again for
partial ranges inside the iterator.
In addition, we mostly do permission checking before we call
file_start_write() except for a few places where we call it after.
For pre-content events we need such permission checking to be done
before file_start_write(). So this is a nice reason to clean this
all up.
After this series, all permission checking is done before
file_start_write().
As part of this cleanup we also massaged the splice code a bit. We
got rid of a few helpers because we are alredy drowning in special
read-write helpers. We also cleaned up the return types for splice
helpers.
- Introduce generic read-write helpers for backing files. This lifts
some overlayfs code to common code so it can be used by the FUSE
passthrough work coming in over the next cycles. Make Amir and
Miklos the maintainers for this new subsystem of the vfs"

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.
The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
rehashing everything here.
At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.
Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.
The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
conflated.
Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
here as well.
Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
ids.
statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
the @mask argument in struct statmount.
Currently we do support:
- STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
Basic filesystem info
- STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)
- STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
Propagation from what mount in current namespace
- STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)
- STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)
- STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts
The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
easily.
The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.
listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"

Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
devices:
- Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
allowed.
Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
thus prevent kernel crashes.
Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.
Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
releases ago.
- Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
on the block device.
This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
that scans the global list of superblocks.
Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.
Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
@fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
work as before.
There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
that can happen whenever they're ready"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer
- Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/<pid>/maps for vma
files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
selftests
Cleanups:
- Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()
- Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0
- Clarify comment on access_override_creds()
- Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
helpers
- Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups
- Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
namespaces
- Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
belongs to fs/
- Simplify fput() for files that were never opened
- Get rid of various pointless file helpers
- Rename various file helpers
- Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
last cycle
- Make relatime_need_update() return bool
- Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks
- Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
counterparts
Fixes:
- Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**
- s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places
- Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()
- Rename i_mapping->private_data to i_mapping->i_private_data
- Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
queues
- Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance
- Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
pipe->max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
has been resized and hang
- Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus
- s/passs/pass/g in various places
- Fix kernel docs in ntfs
- Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14
- Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"

__put_unaligned_be24() and friends use implicit casts to convert
larger-sized data to bytes, which trips sparse truncation warnings when
the argument is a constant:
CC [M] drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.o
CHECK drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.c
drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.c: note: in included file (through arch/x86/include/generated/asm/unaligned.h):
include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:119:16: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (aa01a0 becomes a0)
include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:120:20: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (aa01 becomes 1)
include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:119:16: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ab00d0 becomes d0)
include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:120:20: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ab00 becomes 0)
To avoid this let's mask off upper bits explicitly, the resulting code
should be exactly the same, but it will keep sparse happy.

Pull i2c fixes from Wolfram Sang:
"Improve the detection when to run atomic transfer handlers for kernels
with preemption disabled. This removes some false positive splats a
number of users were seeing if their driver didn't have support for
atomic transfers.
Also, fix a typo in the docs while we are here"

i2c: core: Fix atomic xfer check for non-preempt config
Documentation/i2c: fix spelling error in i2c-address-translators
|
|
Since commit aa49c90894d0 ("i2c: core: Run atomic i2c xfer when
!preemptible"), the whole reboot/power off sequence on non-preempt kernels
is using atomic i2c xfer, as !preemptible() always results to 1.
During device_shutdown(), the i2c might be used a lot and not all busses
have implemented an atomic xfer handler. This results in a lot of
avoidable noise, like:
[ 12.687169] No atomic I2C transfer handler for 'i2c-0'
[ 12.692313] WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 275 at drivers/i2c/i2c-core.h:40 i2c_smbus_xfer+0x100/0x118
...
Fix this by allowing non-atomic xfer when the interrupts are enabled, as
it was before.

Pull firewire fix from Takashi Sakamoto:
"A single patch to suppress unexpected system reboot in AMD Ryzen
machines with PCIe card consisting of Asmedia ASM1083/1085 and
VT6306/6307/6308.
When the 1394 OHCI driver for the card accesses a specific register
in PCI memory space, the system reboot often occurs.
The issue affects all versions of Linux kernel as long as the 1394
OHCI driver is included. The mechanism of unexpected system reboot is
not clear, so the driver is changed to avoid the access itself when
detecting the combination of hardware"

Pull more drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
"The amdgpu ones are fairly normal, the one that is a bit large is a
fix for a newly introduced IP in 6.7 so unlikely to cause regressions.
The nouveau ones are mostly memory leaks and debugging cleanups from
the GSP (new nvidia firmware) enablement. There are some GSP changes
to the message passing code and a subsequent fix for eDP panel turn
on, that means my laptop can turn on the panel in GSP mode. These are
fairly low chance of disrupting things since GSP is new in 6.7. The
final not all in GSP fix is a deadlock seen with i915/nouveau when GSP
is used where the the fence and irq paths have locking inversions,
I've pushed some irq enablement out to a workqueue, and this has seen
some fairly decent testing.
amdgpu:
- DP MST fix
- SMU 13.0.6 fixes
- fix displays on macbooks using vega12
- fix VSC and colorimetry on DP/eDP
nouveau:
- fix deadlock between fence signalling and irq paths
