Recently we saw an issue with hugetlb max order folio pages. The warning was getting reported on ppc64e but the problem also existed on ppc32 for ppce500 machine type and e500mc cpu type for it's unconventional max order of folio for hugetlbfs.

Hence enable kernel+qemu boot test with ppce500 machine as well to catch such corner case issues in future.

More details about this discussion is here...

Since blamed commit, unregister_netdevice_many_notify() takes the netdev
mutex if the device needs it.

If the device list is too long, this will lock more device mutexes than
lockdep can handle:

unshare -n \
 bash -c 'for i in $(seq 1 100);do ip link add foo$i type dummy;done'

BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
depth: 48  max: 48!

[..]

Add a helper to close and then unlock a list of net_devices.
Devices that are not up have to be skipped - netif_close_many always
removes them from the list without any other actions taken, so they'd
remain in locked state.

Close devices whenever we've used up half of the tracking slots or we
processed entire list without hitting the limit.

On completion of i915_vma_pin_ww(), a synchronous variant of
dma_fence_work_commit() is called.  When pinning a VMA to GGTT address
space on a Cherry View family processor, or on a Broxton generation SoC
with VTD enabled, i.e., when stop_machine() is then called from
intel_ggtt_bind_vma(), that can potentially lead to lock inversion among
reservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks.

====================
bnxt_en: Bug fixes

Patches 1, 3, and 4 are bug fixes related to the FW log tracing driver
coredump feature recently added in 6.13.  Patch #1 adds the necessary
call to shutdown the FW logging DMA during PCI shutdown.  Patch #3 fixes
a possible null pointer derefernce when using early versions of the FW
with this feature.  Patch #4 adds the coredump header information
unconditionally to make it more robust.

Patch #2 fixes a possible memory leak during PTP shutdown.  Patch #5
eliminates a dmesg warning when doing devlink reload.

Expand the prefault memory selftest to add a regression test for a KVM bug
where KVM's retry logic would result in (breakable) deadlock due to the
memslot deletion waiting on prefaulting to release SRCU, and prefaulting
waiting on the memslot to fully disappear (KVM uses a two-step process to
delete memslots, and KVM x86 retries page faults if a to-be-deleted, a.k.a.
INVALID, memslot is encountered).

To exercise concurrent memslot remove, spawn a second thread to initiate
memslot removal at roughly the same time as prefaulting.  Test memslot
removal for all testcases, i.e. don't limit concurrent removal to only the
success case.  There are essentially three prefault scenarios (so far)
that are of interest:

 1. Success
 2. ENOENT due to no memslot
 3. EAGAIN due to INVALID memslot

For all intents and purposes, linuxppc#1 and linuxppc#2 are mutually exclusive, or rather,
easier to test via separate testcases since writing to non-existent memory
is trivial.  But for linuxppc#3, making it mutually exclusive with linuxppc#1 _or_ linuxppc#2 is
actually more complex than testing memslot removal for all scenarios.  The
only requirement to let memslot removal coexist with other scenarios is a
way to guarantee a stable result, e.g. that the "no memslot" test observes
ENOENT, not EAGAIN, for the final checks.

So, rather than make memslot removal mutually exclusive with the ENOENT
scenario, simply restore the memslot and retry prefaulting.  For the "no
memslot" case, KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY should be idempotent, i.e. should
always fail with ENOENT regardless of how many times userspace attempts
prefaulting.

Pass in both the base GPA and the offset (instead of the "full" GPA) so
that the worker can recreate the memslot.

====================
In the discussion thread
"[PATCH bpf-next v9 0/7] bpf: Introduce BPF_F_CPU and BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flags for percpu maps"[1],
it was pointed out that missing calls to bpf_obj_free_fields() could
lead to memory leaks.

A selftest was added to confirm that this is indeed a real issue - the
refcount of BPF_KPTR_REF field is not decremented when
bpf_obj_free_fields() is missing after copy_map_value[,_long]().

Further inspection of copy_map_value[,_long]() call sites revealed two
locations affected by this issue:

1. pcpu_copy_value()
2. htab_map_update_elem() when used with BPF_F_LOCK

Similar case happens when update local storage maps with BPF_F_LOCK.

This series fixes the cases where BPF_F_LOCK is not involved by
properly calling bpf_obj_free_fields() after copy_map_value[,_long](),
and adds a selftest to verify the fix.

The remaining cases involving BPF_F_LOCK will be addressed in a
separate patch set after the series
"bpf: Introduce BPF_F_CPU and BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flags for percpu maps"
is applied.

Changes:
v5 -> v6:
* Update the test name to include "refcounted_kptr".
* Update some local variables' name in the test (per Alexei).
* v5: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/

v4 -> v5:
* Use a local variable to store the this_cpu_ptr()/per_cpu_ptr() result,
  and reuse it between copy_map_value[,_long]() and
  bpf_obj_free_fields() in patch linuxppc#1 (per Andrii).
* Drop patch linuxppc#2 and linuxppc#3, because the combination of BPF_F_LOCK with other
  special fields (except for BPF_SPIN_LOCK) will be disallowed on the
  UAPI side in the future (per Alexei).
* v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/

v3 -> v4:
* Target bpf-next tree.
* Address comments from Amery:
  * Drop 'bpf_obj_free_fields()' in the path of updating local storage
    maps without BPF_F_LOCK.
  * Drop the corresponding self test.
  * Respin the other test of local storage maps using syscall BPF
    programs.
* v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/

v2 -> v3:
* Free special fields when update local storage maps without BPF_F_LOCK.
* Add test to verify decrementing refcount when update cgroup local
  storage maps without BPF_F_LOCK.
* Address review from AI bot:
  * Slow path with BPF_F_LOCK (around line 642-646) in
    'bpf_local_storage.c'.
* v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[email protected]/

v1 -> v2:
* Add test to verify decrementing refcount when update cgroup local
  storage maps with BPF_F_LOCK.
* Address review from AI bot:
  * Fast path without bucket lock (around line 610) in
    'bpf_local_storage.c'.

maddy-kerneldev pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Nov 18, 2025
Add VMX exit handlers for SEAMCALL and TDCALL to inject a #UD if a non-TD
guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL or TDCALL.  Neither SEAMCALL nor TDCALL
is gated by any software enablement other than VMXON, and so will generate
a VM-Exit instead of e.g. a native #UD when executed from the guest kernel.

Note!  No unprivileged DoS of the L1 kernel is possible as TDCALL and
SEAMCALL #GP at CPL > 0, and the CPL check is performed prior to the VMX
non-root (VM-Exit) check, i.e. userspace can't crash the VM. And for a
nested guest, KVM forwards unknown exits to L1, i.e. an L2 kernel can
crash itself, but not L1.

Note #2!  The Intel® Trust Domain CPU Architectural Extensions spec's
pseudocode shows the CPL > 0 check for SEAMCALL coming _after_ the VM-Exit,
but that appears to be a documentation bug (likely because the CPL > 0
check was incorrectly bundled with other lower-priority #GP checks).
Testing on SPR and EMR shows that the CPL > 0 check is performed before
the VMX non-root check, i.e. SEAMCALL #GPs when executed in usermode.

Note #3!  The aforementioned Trust Domain spec uses confusing pseudocode
that says that SEAMCALL will #UD if executed "inSEAM", but "inSEAM"
specifically means in SEAM Root Mode, i.e. in the TDX-Module.  The long-
form description explicitly states that SEAMCALL generates an exit when
executed in "SEAM VMX non-root operation".  But that's a moot point as the
TDX-Module injects #UD if the guest attempts to execute SEAMCALL, as
documented in the "Unconditionally Blocked Instructions" section of the
TDX-Module base specification.

On completion of i915_vma_pin_ww(), a synchronous variant of
dma_fence_work_commit() is called.  When pinning a VMA to GGTT address
space on a Cherry View family processor, or on a Broxton generation SoC
with VTD enabled, i.e., when stop_machine() is then called from
intel_ggtt_bind_vma(), that can potentially lead to lock inversion among
reservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks.

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.18, take linuxppc#3

- Only adjust the ID registers when no irqchip has been created once
  per VM run, instead of doing it once per vcpu, as this otherwise
  triggers a pretty bad conbsistency check failure in the sysreg code.

- Make sure the per-vcpu Fine Grain Traps are computed before we load
  the system registers on the HW, as we otherwise start running without
  anything set until the first preemption of the vcpu.

The warning is seen majorly on the host kernels that are configured
not to force-preempt, such as CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y. To avoid this,
instead of walking the entire page-table in one go, split it into
smaller ranges, by checking for cond_resched() between each range.
Since the path is executed during VM destruction, after the
page-table structure is unlinked from the KVM MMU, relying on
cond_resched_rwlock_write() isn't necessary.

For some reason, of_find_node_with_property() is creating a spinlock
recursion issue along with fwnode_count_parents(), and this issue
is making all MediaTek boards unbootable.

As of kernel v6.18-rc6, there are only three users of this function,
one of which is this driver.

Migrate away from of_find_node_with_property() by adding a local
scpsys_get_legacy_regmap_node() function, which acts similarly to
of_find_node_with_property(), and calling the former in place of
the latter.

This resolves the following spinlock recursion issue:

Marc Kleine-Budde <[email protected]> says:

Similarly to how CAN FD reuses the bittiming logic of Classical CAN, CAN XL
also reuses the entirety of CAN FD features, and, on top of that, adds new
features which are specific to CAN XL.

A so-called 'mixed-mode' is intended to have (XL-tolerant) CAN FD nodes and
CAN XL nodes on one CAN segment, where the FD-controllers can talk CC/FD
and the XL-controllers can talk CC/FD/XL. This mixed-mode utilizes the
known error-signalling (ES) for sending CC/FD/XL frames. For CAN FD and CAN
XL the tranceiver delay compensation (TDC) is supported to use common CAN
and CAN-SIG transceivers.

The CANXL-only mode disables the error-signalling in the CAN XL controller.
This mode does not allow CC/FD frames to be sent but additionally offers a
CAN XL transceiver mode switching (TMS) to send CAN XL frames with up to
20Mbit/s data rate. The TMS utilizes a PWM configuration which is added to
the netlink interface.

Configured with CAN_CTRLMODE_FD and CAN_CTRLMODE_XL this leads to:

FD=0 XL=0 CC-only mode         (ES=1)
FD=1 XL=0 FD/CC mixed-mode     (ES=1)
FD=1 XL=1 XL/FD/CC mixed-mode  (ES=1)
FD=0 XL=1 XL-only mode         (ES=0, TMS optional)

Patch linuxppc#1 print defined ctrlmode strings capitalized to increase the
readability and to be in line with the 'ip' tool (iproute2).

Patch linuxppc#2 is a small clean-up which makes can_calc_bittiming() use
NL_SET_ERR_MSG() instead of netdev_err().

Patch linuxppc#3 adds a check in can_dev_dropped_skb() to drop CAN FD frames
when CAN FD is turned off.

Patch linuxppc#4 adds CAN_CTRLMODE_RESTRICTED. Note that contrary to the other
CAN_CTRL_MODE_XL_* that are introduced in the later patches, this control
mode is not specific to CAN XL. The nuance is that because this restricted
mode was only added in ISO 11898-1:2024, it is made mandatory for CAN XL
devices but optional for other protocols. This is why this patch is added
as a preparation before introducing the core CAN XL logic.

Patch #5 adds all the CAN XL features which are inherited from CAN FD: the
nominal bittiming, the data bittiming and the TDC.

Patch #6 add a new CAN_CTRLMODE_XL_TMS control mode which is specific to
CAN XL to enable the transceiver mode switching (TMS) in XL-only mode.

Patch #7 adds a check in can_dev_dropped_skb() to drop CAN CC/FD frames
when the CAN XL controller is in CAN XL-only mode. The introduced
can_dev_in_xl_only_mode() function also determines the error-signalling
configuration for the CAN XL controllers.

Patch #8 to #11 add the PWM logic for the CAN XL TMS mode.

Patch #12 to #14 add different default sample-points for standard CAN and
CAN SIG transceivers (with TDC) and CAN XL transceivers using PWM in the
CAN XL TMS mode.

Patch #15 add a dummy_can driver for netlink testing and debugging.

Patch #16 check CAN frame type (CC/FD/XL) when writing those frames to the
CAN_RAW socket and reject them if it's not supported by the CAN interface.

Patch #17 increase the resolution when printing the bitrate error and
round-up the value to 0.01% in the case the resolution would still provide
values which would lead to 0.00%.

It's possible that the auxiliary proxy device we add when setting up the
GPIO controller exposing shared pins, will get matched and probed
immediately. The gpio-proxy-driver will then retrieve the shared
descriptor structure. That will cause a recursive mutex locking and
a deadlock because we're already holding the gpio_shared_lock in
gpio_device_setup_shared() and try to take it again in
devm_gpiod_shared_get() like this:

Fortunately, at the time of creating of the auxiliary device, we already
know the correct entry so let's store it as the device's platform data.
We don't need to hold gpio_shared_lock in devm_gpiod_shared_get() as
we're not removing the entry or traversing the list anymore but we still
need to protect it from concurrent modification of its fields so add a
more fine-grained mutex.

The U-Blox EVK-M101 enumerates as 1546:0506 [1] with four FTDI interfaces:
- EVK-M101 current sensors
- EVK-M101 I2C
- EVK-M101 UART
- EVK-M101 port D

Only the third USB interface is a UART. This change lets ftdi_sio probe
the VID/PID and registers only interface #3 as a TTY, leaving the rest
available for other drivers.

I was not able to reproduce this as I was testing with various
runs switching siw and rxe as well as IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT sockets,
while the above stack used siw with the non IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT
patches [1].

Even if this patch doesn't solve the above I think it's
a good idea to reclassify the sockets used by siw,
I also send patches for rxe to reclassify, as well
as my IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT socket patches [1] will do it,
this should minimize potential false positives.

Reject attempts to disable KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD on a memslot that was
initially created with a guest_memfd binding, as KVM doesn't support
toggling KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD on existing memslots.  KVM prevents enabling
KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD, but doesn't prevent clearing the flag.

Failure to reject the new memslot results in a use-after-free due to KVM
not unbinding from the guest_memfd instance.  Unbinding on a FLAGS_ONLY
change is easy enough, and can/will be done as a hardening measure (in
anticipation of KVM supporting dirty logging on guest_memfd at some point),
but fixing the use-after-free would only address the immediate symptom.

We sometimes observe use-after-free when dereferencing a neighbour [1].
The problem seems to be that the driver stores a pointer to the
neighbour, but without holding a reference on it. A reference is only
taken when the neighbour is used by a nexthop.

Fix by simplifying the reference counting scheme. Always take a
reference when storing a neighbour pointer in a neighbour entry. Avoid
taking a referencing when the neighbour is used by a nexthop as the
neighbour entry associated with the nexthop already holds a reference.

Tested by running the test that uncovered the problem over 300 times.
Without this patch the problem was reproduced after a handful of
iterations.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: fixes for PMD table sharing (incl.  using
mmu_gather)".

One functional fix, one performance regression fix, and two related
comment fixes.

I cleaned up my prototype I recently shared [1] for the performance fix,
deferring most of the cleanups I had in the prototype to a later point. 
While doing that I identified the other things.

The goal of this patch set is to be backported to stable trees "fairly"
easily.  At least patch linuxppc#1 and linuxppc#4.

Patch linuxppc#1 fixes hugetlb_pmd_shared() not detecting any sharing
Patch linuxppc#2 + linuxppc#3 are simple comment fixes that patch linuxppc#4 interacts with.
Patch linuxppc#4 is a fix for the reported performance regression due to excessive
IPI broadcasts during fork()+exit().

The last patch is all about TLB flushes, IPIs and mmu_gather.  Read:
complicated

I added as much comments + description that I possibly could, and I am
hoping for review from Jann.

There are plenty of cleanups in the future to be had + one reasonable
optimization on x86.  But that's all out of scope for this series.


This patch (of 4):

We switched from (wrongly) using the page count to an independent shared
count.  Now, shared page tables have a refcount of 1 (excluding
speculative references) and instead use ptdesc->pt_share_count to identify
sharing.

We didn't convert hugetlb_pmd_shared(), so right now, we would never
detect a shared PMD table as such, because sharing/unsharing no longer
touches the refcount of a PMD table.

Page migration, like mbind() or migrate_pages() would allow for migrating
folios mapped into such shared PMD tables, even though the folios are not
exclusive.  In smaps we would account them as "private" although they are
"shared", and we would be wrongly setting the PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE in the
pagemap interface.

Fix it by properly using ptdesc_pmd_is_shared() in hugetlb_pmd_shared().

====================
selftests: forwarding: vxlan_bridge_1q_mc_ul: Fix flakiness

The net/forwarding/vxlan_bridge_1q_mc_ul selftest runs an overlay traffic,
forwarded over a multicast-routed VXLAN underlay. In order to determine
whether packets reach their intended destination, it uses a TC match. For
convenience, it uses a flower match, which however does not allow matching
on the encapsulated packet. So various service traffic ends up being
indistinguishable from the test packets, and ends up confusing the test. To
alleviate the problem, the test uses sleep to allow the necessary service
traffic to run and clear the channel, before running the test traffic. This
worked for a while, but lately we have nevertheless seen flakiness of the
test in the CI.

In this patchset, first generalize tc_rule_stats_get() to support u32 in
patch linuxppc#1, then in patch linuxppc#2 convert the test to use u32 to allow parsing
deeper into the packet, and in linuxppc#3 drop the now-unnecessary sleep.

Patch series "kallsyms: Prevent invalid access when showing module
buildid", v3.

We have seen nested crashes in __sprint_symbol(), see below.  They seem to
be caused by an invalid pointer to "buildid".  This patchset cleans up
kallsyms code related to module buildid and fixes this invalid access when
printing backtraces.

I made an audit of __sprint_symbol() and found several situations
when the buildid might be wrong:

  + bpf_address_lookup() does not set @modbuildid

  + ftrace_mod_address_lookup() does not set @modbuildid

  + __sprint_symbol() does not take rcu_read_lock and
    the related struct module might get removed before
    mod->build_id is printed.

This patchset solves these problems:

  + 1st, 2nd patches are preparatory
  + 3rd, 4th, 6th patches fix the above problems
  + 5th patch cleans up a suspicious initialization code.

This is the backtrace, we have seen. But it is not really important.
The problems fixed by the patchset are obvious:

This patch (of 7)

The function kallsyms_lookup_buildid() initializes the given @namebuf by
clearing the first and the last byte.  It is not clear why.

The 1st byte makes sense because some callers ignore the return code and
expect that the buffer contains a valid string, for example:

  - function_stat_show()
    - kallsyms_lookup()
      - kallsyms_lookup_buildid()

The initialization of the last byte does not make much sense because it
can later be overwritten.  Fortunately, it seems that all called functions
behave correctly:

  -  kallsyms_expand_symbol() explicitly adds the trailing '\0'
     at the end of the function.

  - All *__address_lookup() functions either use the safe strscpy()
    or they do not touch the buffer at all.

Document the reason for clearing the first byte.  And remove the useless
initialization of the last byte.
