lib/vsprintf: Add support for generic FourCCs by extending %p4cc
%p4cc is designed for DRM/V4L2 FourCCs with their specific quirks, but it's useful to be able to print generic 4-character codes formatted as an integer. Extend it to add format specifiers for printing generic 32-bit FourCCs with various endian semantics: %p4ch Host byte order %p4cn Network byte order %p4cl Little-endian %p4cb Big-endian The endianness determines how bytes are interpreted as a u32, and the FourCC is then always printed MSByte-first (this is the opposite of V4L/DRM FourCCs). This covers most practical cases, e.g. %p4cn would allow printing LSByte-first FourCCs stored in host endian order (other than the hex form being in character order, not the integer value).

- The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from
Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The 3 patch series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The 3 patch series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The 3 patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The 9 patch series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The 5 patch series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The 6 patch series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The 20 patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The 4 patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The 20 patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The 8 patch series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The 13 patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The 13 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The 3 patch series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The 8 patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios.

RCU pull request for v6.15
This pull request contains the following branches: docs.2025.02.04a: - Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst. - Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr(). - Document self-propagating callbacks. - Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering. - Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header. - Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text. - Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives. srcu.2025.02.05a: - Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock at the cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu(). Moreover, by returning the percpu offset of the counter at srcu_read_lock_fast() time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can save extra pointer dereferencing, which makes it faster than srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(). srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible. torture.2025.02.05a: - Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test. - Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying boosting tests when building rcutorture as built-in. - Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end of failure/close-call results. - Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence number in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point. - Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length. - Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool. - Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified. - Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig for SRCU lockdep testing. misc.2025.03.04a: -

It has been a reasonably busy cycle for docs...
- Significant changes throughout the tree to bring Python code up to current standards and raise the minimum Python required to 3.9. Much of this is preparatory to replacing the ancient Perl scripts/kernel-doc horror with a slightly less horrifying Python implementation, expected for 6.16. - Update the minimum Sphinx required to 3.4.3, allowing us to remove a bunch of older compatibility code. - Rework and improve the generation of the ABI documentation.

xarray: add xas_try_split() to split a multi-index entry
Patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split", v10. This patchset adds a new buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) large folio split from a order-n folio to order-m with m < n. It reduces 1. the total number of after-split folios from 2^(n-m) to n-m+1; 2. the amount of memory needed for multi-index xarray split from 2^(n/6-m/6) to n/6-m/6, assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT=6; 3. keep more large folios after a split from all order-m folios to order-(n-1) to order-m folios. For example, to split an order-9 to order-0, folio split generates 10 (or 11 for anonymous memory) folios instead of 512, allocates 1 xa_node instead of 8, and leaves 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1 and 2 order-0 folios (or 4 order-0 for anonymous memory) instead of 512 order-0 folios. Instead of duplicating existing split_huge_page*() code, __folio_split() is introduced as the shared backend code for both split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() and folio_split(). __folio_split() can support both uniform split and buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) split. All existing split_huge_page*() users can be gradually converted to use folio_split() if possible. In this patchset, I converted truncate_inode_partial_folio() to use folio_split(). xfstests quick group passed for both tmpfs and xfs. I also semi-replicated Hugh's test[12] and ran it without any issue for almost 24 hours. This patch (of 8): A preparation patch for non-uniform folio split, which always split a folio into half iteratively, and minimal xarray entry split. Currently, xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() always split all slots from a multi-index entry. They cost the same number of xa_node as the to-be-split slots. For example, to split an order-9 entry, which takes 2^(9-6)=8 slots, assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT is 6 (!CONFIG_BASE_SMALL), 8 xa_node are needed. Instead xas_try_split() is intended to be used iteratively to split the order-9 entry into 2 order-8 entries, then split one order-8 entry, based on the given index, to 2 order-7 entries, ..., and split one order-1 entry to 2 order-0 entries. When splitting the order-6 entry and a new xa_node is needed, xas_try_split() will try to allocate one if possible. As a result, xas_try_split() would only need 1 xa_node instead of 8. When a new xa_node is needed during the split, xas_try_split() can try to allocate one but no more. -ENOMEM will be return if a node cannot be allocated. -EINVAL will be return if a sibling node is split or cascade split happens, where two or more new nodes are needed, and these are not supported by xas_try_split(). xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() split an order-9 to order-0: --------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------- | | | | ------- --- --- ------- | | ... | | V V V V ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- | xa_node | | xa_node | ... | xa_node | | xa_node | ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- xas_try_split() splits an order-9 to order-0: --------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | | | | | | | | | | --------------------------------- | | V ----------- | xa_node | ----------- Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250307174001.242794-1-ziy@nvidia.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250307174001.242794-2-ziy@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Zi Yan <ziy@nvidia.com> Cc: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Cc: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@huawei.com> Cc: Kirill A.

refcount: provide ops for cases when object's memory can be reused
For speculative lookups where a successful inc_not_zero() pins the object, but where we still need to double check if the object acquired is indeed the one we set out to acquire (identity check), needs this validation to happen *after* the increment. Similarly, when a new object is initialized and its memory might have been previously occupied by another object, all stores to initialize the object should happen *before* refcount initialization. Notably SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU is one such an example when this ordering is required for reference counting. Add refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() to guarantee the proper ordering between acquiring a reference count on an object and performing the identity check for that object. Add refcount_set_release() to guarantee proper ordering between stores initializing object attributes and the store initializing the refcount. refcount_set_release() should be done after all other object attributes are initialized. Once refcount_set_release() is called, the object should be considered visible to other tasks even if it was not yet added into an object collection normally used to discover it. This is because other tasks might have discovered the object previously occupying the same memory and after memory reuse they can succeed in taking refcount for the new object and start using it. Object reuse example to consider: consumer: obj = lookup(collection, key); if (!refcount_inc_not_zero_acquire(&obj->ref)) return; if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* identity check */ put_ref(obj); return; } use(obj->value); producer: remove(collection, obj->key); if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref)) return; obj->key = KEY_INVALID; free(obj); obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */ obj->key = new_key; obj->value = new_value; refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1); add(collection, new_key, obj); refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() is required to prevent the following reordering when refcount_inc_not_zero() is used instead: consumer: obj = lookup(collection, key); if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* reordered identity check */ put_ref(obj); return; } producer: remove(collection, obj->key); if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref)) return; obj->key = KEY_INVALID; free(obj); obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */ obj->key = new_key; obj->value = new_value; refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1); add(collection, new_key, obj); if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&obj->ref)) return; use(obj->value); /* USING WRONG OBJECT */ refcount_set_release() is required to prevent the following reordering when refcount_set() is used instead: consumer: obj = lookup(collection, key); producer: remove(collection, obj->key); if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref)) return; obj->key = KEY_INVALID; free(obj); obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */ obj->key = new_key; /* new_key == old_key */ refcount_set(obj->ref, 1); if (!refcount_inc_not_zero_acquire(&obj->ref)) return; if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* pass since new_key == old_key */ put_ref(obj); return; } use(obj->value); /* USING STALE obj->value */ obj->value = new_value; /* reordered store */ add(collection, key, obj); [surenb@google.com: fix title underlines in refcount-vs-atomic.rst] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250217161645.3137927-1-surenb@google.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250213224655.1680278-11-surenb@google.com Signed-off-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> [slab] Tested-by: Shivank Garg <shivankg@amd.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/5e19ec93-8307-47c2-bb13-3ddf7150624e@amd.com Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Paul E.

Networking changes for 6.14.
Core ---- - More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock. - Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge and more specific TCP coverage. - Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems synchronize_net() in tipc and sched. - Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic redirection based on such header field. Netfilter --------- - Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing netdev basechains without devices. - Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin, reset and re-open events. - Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each restart. Protocols --------- - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing several helpers into the core - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in inet peers handling. - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6 address changes. - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP. - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection lifetime is very short. - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS (for TLS 1.3 only). - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2. - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets, gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet. - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in conjunction with the congestion control algorithm. Driver API ---------- - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via ethtool. - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively. - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS) value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W implementation. - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support. - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib implementation. - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation. - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported interfaces. Tests and tooling ----------------- - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it separately from the kernel. - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill test-cases. - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease maintenance and future development. - Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests, allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net.

Protocols: - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing several helpers into the core - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in inet peers handling. - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6 address changes. - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP. - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection lifetime is very short. - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS (for TLS 1.3 only). - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2. - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets, gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet. - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in conjunction with the congestion control algorithm. Driver API: - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via ethtool. - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively. - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS) value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W implementation. - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support. - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib implementation. - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation. - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported interfaces. Tests and tooling: - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it separately from the kernel. - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill test-cases. - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease maintenance and future development. - Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests, allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net. Drivers: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5): - add cross E-Switch QoS support - add SW Steering support for ConnectX-8 - implement support for HW-Managed Flow Steering, improving the rule deletion/insertion rate - support for multi-host LAG - Intel (ixgbe, ice, igb): - ice: add support for devlink health events - ixgbe: add initial support for E610 chipset variant - igb: add support for AF_XDP zero-copy - Meta: - add support for basic RSS config - allow changing the number of channels - add hardware monitoring support - Broadcom (bnxt): - implement TCP data split and HDS threshold ethtool support, enabling Device Memory TCP. - Marvell Octeon: - implement egress ipsec offload support for the cn10k family - Hisilicon (HIBMC): - implement unicast MAC filtering - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual: - Convert UDP tunnel drivers to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS, avoiding contented atomic operations for drop counters - Freescale: - quicc: phylink conversion - enetc: support Tx and Rx checksum offload and improve TSO performances - MediaTek: - airoha: introduce support for ETS and HTB Qdisc offload - Microchip: - lan78XX USB: preparation work for phylink conversion - Synopsys (stmmac): - support DWMAC IP on NXP Automotive SoCs S32G2xx/S32G3xx/S32R45 - refactor EEE support to leverage the new driver API - optimize DMA and cache access to increase raw RX performances by 40% - TI: - icssg-prueth: add multicast filtering support for VLAN interface - netkit: - add ability to configure head/tailroom - VXLAN: - accepts packets with user-defined reserved bit - Ethernet switches: - Microchip: - lan969x: add RGMII support - lan969x: improve TX and RX performance using the FDMA engine - nVidia/Mellanox: - move Tx header handling to PCI driver, to ease XDP support - Ethernet PHYs: - Texas Instruments DP83822: - add support for GPIO2 clock output - Realtek: - 8169: add support for RTL8125D rev.b - rtl822x: add hwmon support for the temperature sensor - Microchip: - add support for RDS PTP hardware - consolidate periodic output signal generation - CAN: - several DT-bindings to DT schema conversions - tcan4x5x: - add HW standby support - support nWKRQ voltage selection - kvaser: - allowing Bus Error Reporting runtime configuration - WiFi: - the on-going Multi-Link Operation (MLO) effort continues, affecting both the stack and in drivers - mac80211/cfg80211: - Emergency Preparedness Communication Services (EPCS) station mode support - support for adding and removing station links for MLO - add support for WiFi 7/EHT mesh over 320 MHz channels - report Tx power info for each link - RealTek (rtw88): - enable USB Rx aggregation and USB 3 to improve performance - LED support - RealTek (rtw89): - refactor power save to support Multi-Link Operations - add support for RTL8922AE-VS variant - MediaTek (mt76): - single wiphy multiband support (preparation for MLO) - p2p device support - add TP-Link TXE50UH USB adapter support - Qualcomm (ath10k): - support for the QCA6698AQ IP core - Qualcomm (ath12k): - enable MLO for QCN9274 - Bluetooth: - Allow sysfs to trigger hdev reset, to allow recovering devices not responsive from user-space - MediaTek: add support for MT7922, MT7925, MT7921e devices - Realtek: add support for RTL8851BE devices - Qualcomm: add support for WCN785x devices - ISO: allow BIG re-sync" * tag 'net-next-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1386 commits) net/rose: prevent integer overflows in rose_setsockopt() net: phylink: fix regression when binding a PHY net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: streamline TX queue creation and cleanup net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: streamline RX queue creation and cleanup net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: ensure proper channel cleanup in error path ipv6: Convert inet6_rtm_deladdr() to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Convert inet6_rtm_newaddr() to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Move lifetime validation to inet6_rtm_newaddr(). ipv6: Set cfg.ifa_flags before device lookup in inet6_rtm_newaddr(). ipv6: Pass dev to inet6_addr_add(). ipv6: Convert inet6_ioctl() to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Hold rtnl_net_lock() in addrconf_init() and addrconf_cleanup(). ipv6: Hold rtnl_net_lock() in addrconf_dad_work(). ipv6: Hold rtnl_net_lock() in addrconf_verify_work(). ipv6: Convert net.ipv6.conf.${DEV}.XXX sysctl to per-netns RTNL. ipv6: Add __in6_dev_get_rtnl_net(). net: stmmac: Drop redundant skb_mark_for_recycle() for SKB frags net: mii: Fix the Speed display when the network cable is not connected sysctl net: Remove macro checks for CONFIG_SYSCTL eth: bnxt: update header sizing defaults ... |

doc: module: DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE must be defined before #includes
The definition of EXPORT_SYMBOL et al depends on DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE. So DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE must already be available when <linux/export.h> is parsed.

kernel/cgroup: Add "dmem" memory accounting cgroup
This code is based on the RDMA and misc cgroup initially, but now uses page_counter. It uses the same min/low/max semantics as the memory cgroup as a result. There's a small mismatch as TTM uses u64, and page_counter long pages. In practice it's not a problem. 32-bits systems don't really come with >=4GB cards and as long as we're consistently wrong with units, it's fine. The device page size may not be in the same units as kernel page size, and each region might also have a different page size (VRAM vs GART for example). The interface is simple: - Call dmem_cgroup_register_region() - Use dmem_cgroup_try_charge to check if you can allocate a chunk of memory, use dmem_cgroup__uncharge when freeing it. This may return an error code, or -EAGAIN when the cgroup limit is reached. In that case a reference to the limiting pool is returned. - The limiting cs can be used as compare function for dmem_cgroup_state_evict_valuable. - After having evicted enough, drop reference to limiting cs with dmem_cgroup_pool_state_put. This API allows you to limit device resources with cgroups. You can see the supported cards in /sys/fs/cgroup/dmem.capacity You need to echo +dmem to cgroup.subtree_control, and then you can partition device memory.

lib: packing: document recently added APIs
Extend the documentation for the packing library, covering the intended use for the recently added APIs. This includes the pack() and unpack() macros, as well as the pack_fields() and unpack_fields() macros. Add a note that the packing() API is now deprecated in favor of pack() and unpack(). For the pack_fields() and unpack_fields() APIs, explain the rationale for when a driver may want to select this API. Provide an example which shows how to define the fields and call the pack_fields() and unpack_fields() macros.

Networking changes for 6.13.
The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained. Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be a more reliable replacement for the latter. Core ---- - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising: - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path - introduce basic per netns locking helpers - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of rtnl_register_many() - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as possible out of RTNL lock - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL the per-netns lock infra is guarded by the CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim. - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing. - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN handling consistent and reliable. - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing better introspection in case of packets drop. - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access. - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable. - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets and timestamps Things we sprinkled into general kernel code -------------------------------------------- - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops size. - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag implementation. Netfilter --------- - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure. - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the option to configure iptables without enabling any other config. - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI improvements. BPF --- - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall, this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads. - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in combination with BPF cpumap. - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also add a batch of new BPF selftests for it. - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority} scrubbing to its BPF program. - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF programs. Protocols --------- - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up significantly connected sockets lookup. - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after close, the socket lock contention. - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state lookups. - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing risks on loosing them. - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per device neigh lists. Driver API ---------- - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink. - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation. Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are: nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice. - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks. - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core. - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror offload. - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on device-specific entries. - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space. - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.

workqueue: Changes for v6.13
- Maximum concurrency limit of 512 which was set a long time ago is too low now. A legitimate use (BPF cgroup release) of system_wq could saturate it under stress test conditions leading to false dependencies and deadlocks. While the offending use was switched to a dedicated workqueue, use the opportunity to bump WQ_MAX_ACTIVE four fold and document that system workqueue shouldn't be saturated. Workqueue should add at least a warning mechanism for cases where system workqueues are saturated. - Recent workqueue updates to support more flexible execution topology made unbound workqueues use per-cpu worker pool frontends which pushed up workqueue flush overhead. As consecutive CPUs are likely to be pointing to the same worker pool, reduce overhead by switching locks only when necessary. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYKACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCZztfbQ4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGcaOAP9nlm5gKnY4pqQeohxfE9uRoUJY/isbuk0z2ZbB +u2AXQD/ZX16MZm1WOdJ3kcj9bxEbJerW1twus951X6+2tSnRAQ= =mBeG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'wq-for-6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: - The maximum concurrency limit of 512 which was set a long time ago is too low now.

printf: Add print format (%pra) for struct range
The use of struct range in the CXL subsystem is growing. In particular, the addition of Dynamic Capacity devices uses struct range in a number of places which are reported in debug and error messages. To wit requiring the printing of the start/end fields in each print became cumbersome. Dan Williams mentions in [1] that it might be time to have a print specifier for struct range similar to struct resource. A few alternatives were considered including '%par', '%r', and '%pn'. %pra follows that struct range is similar to struct resource (%p[rR]) but needs to be different. Based on discussions with Petr and Andy '%pra' was chosen.[2] Andy also suggested to keep the range prints similar to struct resource though combined code. Add hex_range() to handle printing for both pointer types. Finally introduce DEFINE_RANGE() as a parallel to DEFINE_RES_*() and use it in the tests.

workqueue: Adjust WQ_MAX_ACTIVE from 512 to 2048
WQ_MAX_ACTIVE is currently set to 512, which was established approximately 15 yeas ago. However, with the significant increase in machine sizes and capabilities, the previous limit of 256 concurrent tasks is no longer sufficient. Therefore, we propose to increase WQ_MAX_ACTIVE to 2048. and WQ_DFL_ACTIVE is 1024 now. Signed-off-by: Chen Ridong <chenridong@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |

workqueue: doc: Add a note saturating the system_wq is not permitted
If something is expected to generate large number of concurrent works, it should utilize its own dedicated workqueue rather than system wq. Because this may saturate system_wq and potentially block other's works. eg, cgroup release work. Let's document this as a note.

lib: packing: adjust definitions and implementation for arbitrary buffer lengths
Jacob Keller has a use case for packing() in the intel/ice networking driver, but it cannot be used as-is. Simply put, the API quirks for LSW32_IS_FIRST and LITTLE_ENDIAN are naively implemented with the undocumented assumption that the buffer length must be a multiple of 4. All calculations of group offsets and offsets of bytes within groups assume that this is the case. But in the ice case, this does not hold true. For example, packing into a buffer of 22 bytes would yield wrong results, but pretending it was a 24 byte buffer would work. Rather than requiring such hacks, and leaving a big question mark when it comes to discontinuities in the accessible bit fields of such buffer, we should extend the packing API to support this use case. It turns out that we can keep the design in terms of groups of 4 bytes, but also make it work if the total length is not a multiple of 4. Just like before, imagine the buffer as a big number, and its most significant bytes (the ones that would make up to a multiple of 4) are missing. Thus, with a big endian (no quirks) interpretation of the buffer, those most significant bytes would be absent from the beginning of the buffer, and with a LSW32_IS_FIRST interpretation, they would be absent from the end of the buffer. The LITTLE_ENDIAN quirk, in the packing() API world, only affects byte ordering within groups of 4. Thus, it does not change which bytes are missing. Only the significance of the remaining bytes within the (smaller) group. No change intended for buffer sizes which are multiples of 4. Tested with the sja1105 driver and with downstream unit tests.

printf: remove %pGt support
Patch series "Increase the number of bits available in page_type". Kent wants more than 16 bits in page_type, so I resurrected this old patch and expanded it a bit. It's a bit more efficient than our current scheme (1 4-byte insn vs 3 insns of 13 bytes total) to test a single page type. This patch (of 4): An upcoming patch will convert page type from being a bitfield to a single byte, so we will not be able to use %pG to print the page type any more. The printing of the symbolic name will be restored in that patch.

cleanup: Add usage and style documentation
When proposing that PCI grow some new cleanup helpers for pci_dev_put() and pci_dev_{lock,unlock} [1], Bjorn had some fundamental questions about expectations and best practices.

docs/core-api: memory-allocation: GFP_NOWAIT doesn't need __GFP_NOWARN
Since v6.8 the definition of GFP_NOWAIT has implied __GFP_NOWARN,
so it is now redundant to add this flag explicitly.
Update the docs to match, and emphasise the need for a fallback
when using GFP_NOWAIT.

Updates for the interrupt subsystem:
- Core: - Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to expand any of this for new required functionality. The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument. The data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for easy extension. The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to provide extra init/exit callbacks. This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization before the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites won't see a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems exist on teardown. This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and parallel probing which was added in recent years. Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible workarounds at the driver level. - The usual small improvements all over the place - Drivers - Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC - Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version to allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform kernels. - Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not support IPIs. - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmaVJbUTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoXTuD/9Tc9BhY5CW7HQkdPQu2Db1O+esprkQ Uo9lMpTTpPiy9btg4LONzLf4mjbufZpyKBxkRWoZFO0Zj5q4UE9NZYh7EcxrF5Tl CIFJmyteLsYuOyCmPrtSDSovonXjQKYBE3u2LVJNNkwEkhYbYW9sqIKeT8nneLv6 53gd28ESFUEUjHNTblw/eXviweyUKSXc0qyg+3hgZQPMoh9RkdkEPvyaw9Y/s5Ce FelLLxzMqX86dR2TJMLqiaGiMpUu/kl+Yz2m5c77TwA2D68qjhHywbtKtlH7b3C6 LMHu2dMrrKSJrLL8roVIYJdHAd1TKWVdnYhqv9WBHFTu1sDuztpR44mewbo8exUU L2RgVSGYNmeFC3p4wztWYSQfIVa9uOg7+TnJJdh7G0jLIeKM/TbufWqDAJAuoVPL QhGbZ5xNbZJZ8bvhhItjxpRN/kPs44p3mUGyRJBQzm+mDN118bqfmQzhLcwRbfE2 smp73SQzg9alG2rGdNVEqkKmp8zhg2Crx2VCeVdgbeOxWQRet9zLWcp4FfCEUE9e eK3iEi8z+rmwafaf3rsxYdrdIRLaUmcni0v7R/16cJH/Cs7bU3Re8XyGhevo3lsO pJiP5wZDxbckwXNpLm3S/qPDW7vSCnuFPF7QmOvC3a70PsD+E4NKUgiwJuHtn/ZV pFBKzbQgCsowQA== =QCRH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'irq-core-2024-07-15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Core: - Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains.

- 875fa64577da ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
walkers") is known to cause a performance regression (https://lore.kernel.org/all/3acefad9-96e5-4681-8014-827d6be71c7a@linux.ibm.com/T/#mfa809800a7862fb5bdf834c6f71a3a5113eb83ff). Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code.

These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code.

arch: add ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT
Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names, header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options. provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

docs: dma: correct dma_set_mask() sample code
There are bunch of codes in driver like if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) Actually it is wrong because if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) fails, dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will fail for the same reason. And dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) never returns failure. According to the definition of dma_set_mask(), it indicates the width of address that device DMA can access. If it can access 64-bit address, it must access 32-bit address inherently. So only need set biggest address width. See below code fragment: dma_set_mask(mask) { mask = (dma_addr_t)mask; if (!dev->dma_mask || !dma_supported(dev, mask)) return -EIO; arch_dma_set_mask(dev, mask); *dev->dma_mask = mask; return 0; } dma_supported() will call dma_direct_supported or iommux's dma_supported call back function. int dma_direct_supported(struct device *dev, u64 mask) { u64 min_mask = (max_pfn - 1) << PAGE_SHIFT; /* * Because 32-bit DMA masks are so common we expect every architecture * to be able to satisfy them - either by not supporting more physical * memory, or by providing a ZONE_DMA32. If neither is the case, the * architecture needs to use an IOMMU instead of the direct mapping. */ if (mask >= DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) return 1; ... } The iommux's dma_supported() actually means iommu requires devices's minimized dma capability. An example: static int sba_dma_supported( struct device *dev, u64 mask)() { ... * check if mask is >= than the current max IO Virt Address * The max IO Virt address will *always* < 30 bits. */ return((int)(mask >= (ioc->ibase - 1 + (ioc->pdir_size / sizeof(u64) * IOVP_SIZE) ))); ... } 1 means supported. 0 means unsupported. Correct document to make it more clear and provide correct sample code.

workqueue: Implement BH workqueues to eventually replace tasklets
The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms. This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq. Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular workqueues and work items. Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over the tasklet softirqs. system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH workqueues without creating their own workqueues. v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include. v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai. - Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task handling or can use clarification. Updated.

It's not enabled for any hw by default, and will hopefully get switched on for Intel's Lunarlake. This also drops a bunch of the old UMS ioctls. It's been dead long enough. amdgpu has a bunch of new color management code that is being used in the Steam Deck. amdgpu also has a new ACPI WBRF interaction to help avoid radio interference.

are included in this merge do the following: - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series "maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers" "Some cleanups of maple tree" - In the series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem" Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily have its memmap placed within that newly added memory. - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes) in the patch series "Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()" "Make folio_start_writeback return void" "Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages" "Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio" "Finish two folio conversions" "More swap folio conversions" - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series "mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault" - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series "tweak kmemleak report format". - In the series "stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces" Andrey Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction of no longer needed stack traces. - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series "mm: page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations". - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners". - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series "maple_tree: iterator state changes". - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback". - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the series "mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS" "selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests" "mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8" - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series "mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds". - In the series "Multi-size THP for anonymous memory" Ryan Roberts has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during anonymous page faults. - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance work against eh buffer_head code int he series "More buffer_head cleanups". - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series "userfaultfd move option". UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free. - Stefan Roesch has developed a "KSM Advisor", in the series "mm/ksm: Add ksm advisor". This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs. - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use in the series "mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups". - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback code, both code and within filesystems.

mm/slab, docs: switch mm-api docs generation from slab.c to slub.c
The SLAB implementation is going to be removed, and mm-api.rst currently uses mm/slab.c to obtain kerneldocs for some API functions. Switch it to mm/slub.c and move the relevant kerneldocs of exported functions from one to the other. The rest of kerneldocs in slab.c is for static SLAB implementation-specific functions that don't have counterparts in slub.c and thus can be simply removed with the implementation.

asm-generic updates for v6.7
The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned, now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be maintained as an LTS kernel. The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEiK/NIGsWEZVxh/FrYKtH/8kJUicFAmVC40IACgkQYKtH/8kJ Uidhmw/9EX+aWSXGoObJ3fngaNSMw+PmrEuP8qEKBHxfKHcCdX3hc451Oh4GlhaQ tru91pPwgNvN2/rfoKusxT+V4PemGIzfNni/04rp+P0kvmdw5otQ2yNhsQNsfVmq XGWvkxF4P2GO6bkjjfR/1dDq7GtlyXtwwPDKeLbYb6TnJOZjtx+EAN27kkfSn1Ms R4Sa3zJ+DfHUmHL5S9g+7UD/CZ5GfKNmIskI4Mz5GsfoUz/0iiU+Bge/9sdcdSJQ kmbLy5YnVzfooLZ3TQmBFsO3iAMWb0s/mDdtyhqhTVmTUshLolkPYyKnPFvdupyv shXcpEST2XJNeaDRnL2K4zSCdxdbnCZHDpjfl9wfioBg7I8NfhXKpf1jYZHH1de4 LXq8ndEFEOVQw/zSpYWfQq1sux8Jiqr+UK/ukbVeFWiGGIUs91gEWtPAf8T0AZo9 ujkJvaWGl98O1g5wmBu0/dAR6QcFJMDfVwbmlIFpU8O+MEaz6X8mM+O5/T0IyTcD eMbAUjj4uYcU7ihKzHEv/0SS9Of38kzff67CLN5k8wOP/9NlaGZ78o1bVle9b52A BdhrsAefFiWHp1jT6Y9Rg4HOO/TguQ9e6EWSKOYFulsiLH9LEFaB9RwZLeLytV0W vlAgY9rUW77g1OJcb7DoNv33nRFuxsKqsnz3DEIXtgozo9CzbYI= =H1vH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'asm-generic-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann: - The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned, now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be maintained as an LTS kernel. - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall. * tag 'asm-generic-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: hexagon: Remove unusable symbols from the ptrace.h uapi asm-generic: Fix spelling of architecture arch: Reserve map_shadow_stack() syscall number for all architectures syscalls: Cleanup references to sys_lookup_dcookie() Documentation: Drop or replace remaining mentions of IA64 lib/raid6: Drop IA64 support Documentation: Drop IA64 from feature descriptions kernel: Drop IA64 support from sig_fault handlers arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture |

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.
