netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: use conntrack GC to reap expectations
This patch replaces the timer API by GC worker approach for
expectations, as it already happened in many other subsystems.
Use the existing conntrack GC worker to iterate over the local list of
expectations in the master conntrack to reap expired expectations.
Check IPS_HELPER_BIT to run GC for expectations, set it on for nft_ct
expectation which nevers sets it. Hold the expectation spinlock while
iterating over the master conntrack expectation list to synchronize with
nf_ct_remove_expectations(). This also performs runtime packet path
garbage collection through the expectation insertion and lookup
functions while walking over one of the chains of the global expectation
hashtables. Unconfirmed conntrack entries are skipped since ct->ext can
be reallocated and dying are skipped since those will be gone soon.
Set on IPS_HELPER_BIT if the helper ct extension is added, then the new
GC worker does not need to bump the ct refcount to check if the ct->ext
helper is available.
This removes the extra bump on the refcount for expectation timers, this
allows to remove several nf_ct_expect_put() calls after the unlink,
after this update only refcount remains at 1 while on the expectation
hashes.
This patch implicitly addresses a race with the existing timer API
allowing an expectation to access a stale exp->master pointer which has
been already released when expectation removal loses races with an
expiring timer, ie. timer_del() reporting false.
Add a new NF_CT_EXPECT_DEAD flag to reap this expectation via GC. This
is needed by nf_conntrack_unexpect_related() which is called in error
paths to invalidate newly created expectations that has been added into
the hashes. These expectactions cannot be inmediately released as GC or
nf_ct_remove_expectations() could race to make it. On expectation
insert, the runtime GC reaps stale expectations before checking the
expectation limit set by policy.
Set current timestamp in nf_ct_expect_alloc(), then add the expectation
policy timeout (or custom timeout specified added on top of this) to
specify the expectation lifetime.

netfilter: nf_queue: pin bridge device while NFQUEUE holds fake dst
The br_netfilter fake rtable is embedded in struct net_bridge and is
attached to bridged packets with skb_dst_set_noref(). If such a packet is
queued to NFQUEUE, __nf_queue() upgrades that fake dst with
skb_dst_force().
At that point the queued skb can hold a real dst reference after bridge
teardown has started. The problem is not that every bridged packet needs
its own dst reference. The problem is that NFQUEUE can keep the bridge
private fake dst alive after unregister begins.
Fix this by keeping the bridge fake dst model unchanged and pinning the
bridge master device only while the packet sits in NFQUEUE. Record the
bridge device in nf_queue_entry when the queued skb carries a bridge fake
dst, take a device reference for the queue lifetime, and drop it when the
queue entry is freed.
Also make sure queued entries are reaped when that bridge device goes
down, and drop the redundant nf_bridge_info_exists() test from the fake
dst detection.
This keeps netdev_priv(br->dev) alive until verdict completion, so the
embedded fake rtable and its metrics backing storage cannot be freed out
from under dst_release(). It also avoids the constant refcount bump and
avoids using ipv4-specific dst helpers for IPv6 bridge traffic.

netfilter: flowtable: fix offloaded ct timeout never being extended
OpenWrt has recently migrated many platforms to kernel 6.18. On the
MediaTek platform, which supports hardware network offloading, WiFi
connections accelerated via the WED path were observed to drop after
roughly 300 seconds.
After several debugging sessions, assisted by the Claude LLM, the
problem was narrowed down as follows:
nf_flow_table_extend_ct_timeout() extends ct->timeout for offloaded
flows using:
cmpxchg(&ct->timeout, expires, new_timeout);
'expires' comes from nf_ct_expires(ct) and is a relative value, while
ct->timeout holds an absolute timestamp. The two are never equal, so
the cmpxchg always fails and the timeout is never extended.
This goes unnoticed for most flows, but a long-lived hardware (WED)
offloaded flow on MediaTek MT7986 eventually has ct->timeout decay to
zero, the conntrack entry is reaped and the connection breaks.
Open-code the relative value from a single READ_ONCE(ct->timeout)
snapshot and compare against that same absolute snapshot in the
cmpxchg, so the timeout extension actually takes effect while the
datapath remains authoritative if it updates ct->timeout concurrently.

tipc: fix slab-use-after-free Read in tipc_aead_decrypt_done
tipc_aead_decrypt() goes straight from tipc_bearer_hold(b) to
crypto_aead_decrypt(req) without taking a reference on the netns, unlike
the encrypt path. When crypto_aead_decrypt() is offloaded asynchronously
(e.g. the SIMD aead wrapper queuing to cryptd), the cryptd worker runs
tipc_aead_decrypt_done() later. If the bearer's netns is torn down in the
meantime, cleanup_net() -> tipc_exit_net() -> tipc_crypto_stop() frees the
per-netns tipc_crypto, and the completion then reads it:
tipc_aead_decrypt_done() dereferences aead->crypto->stats and
aead->crypto->net, and tipc_crypto_rcv_complete() dereferences
aead->crypto->aead[] and the node table -- reading freed memory.
This is the same class of bug that commit e279024617134 ("net/tipc: fix
slab-use-after-free Read in tipc_aead_encrypt_done") fixed for the encrypt
side. The encrypt path takes maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net) before
crypto_aead_encrypt() and drops it with put_net() on the synchronous
return paths and in tipc_aead_encrypt_done(); the -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY
return keeps the reference for the async callback to release. The decrypt
path was left without the equivalent guard.
Mirror the encrypt-side fix on the decrypt path: take a net reference
before crypto_aead_decrypt() (failing with -ENODEV and the matching
bearer put if it cannot be acquired), keep it across the
-EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY async return, and drop it with put_net() on the
synchronous success/error return and at the end of
tipc_aead_decrypt_done().
Reproduced under KASAN on v7.1-rc7: a UDP bearer with a cluster key is
flooded with crafted encrypted frames from an unknown peer (driving the
cluster-key decrypt path) while the bearer's netns is repeatedly torn
down. The completion must run asynchronously to outlive
tipc_crypto_stop(); on x86 the stock aesni gcm(aes) now decrypts
synchronously, so the async path was exercised via cryptd offload. The
unguarded aead->crypto dereference in tipc_aead_decrypt_done() is the
unpatched upstream path; tipc_aead_decrypt() still lacks
maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net), so the completion can outlive the free
on any config where crypto_aead_decrypt() goes async.

rds_cmsg_send() both reject cmsg_len < CMSG_LEN(sizeof(struct
rds_rdma_args)). Add the same check to rds_rm_size() so all three RDMA
args passes are consistent.
This is a consistency and hardening change with no behavioral effect for
well-formed senders and no reachable bug today: rds_rdma_bytes() runs
before rds_rm_size() in rds_sendmsg() and already rejects a short
RDS_CMSG_RDMA_ARGS, so the size pass is not reached with an undersized
cmsg. But rds_rm_size() reads the args independently of that earlier
pass, and nothing in rds_rm_size() itself records or enforces the
precondition, so a reader or a future refactor of the size pass cannot
tell the cmsg has already been length-checked. Applying the same
cmsg_len guard in all three RDS_CMSG_RDMA_ARGS consumers keeps that
invariant local to each and robust to reordering.

gve: fix header buffer corruption with header-split and HW-GRO
The DQO RX datapath programs a per-buffer-queue-descriptor
header_buf_addr at post time and reads the split header back at
completion time. Both the post and the read currently index the
header buffer by queue position rather than by the buffer's identity:
- post (gve_rx_post_buffers_dqo): header_buf_addr is computed from
bufq->tail
- read (gve_rx_dqo): the header is read from desc_idx (the completion
queue head index)
This relies on the buffer-queue index and the completion-queue index
being equal for the start of every packet, i.e. on the device consuming
posted buffers and returning completions in the exact same order. That
assumption does not hold once HW-GRO is enabled with multiple
flows: coalesced segments are accepted and completed in an order that
may differ from the order buffers were posted, and segments from
different flows may interleave.
That results in two problems:
1. Wrong header slot on read. Because the read offset is derived from
the completion index (desc_idx) while the device wrote the header to
the address programmed for the buffer's buf_id, the driver can copy
a header belonging to a different packet. This shows up as
throughput drop (about 30% drop and large numbers of TCP
retransmissions) with header-split and HW-GRO both enabled and many
streams.
2. Header buffer reused while still owned by the device. The driver
advances bufq->head by one per completion and re-posts buffers based
on that. Arrival of N RX completions only guarantees that at least N
RX buffer descriptors have been read by the device. It does not
guarantee that the device has relinquished the ownership of all the
buffers corresponding to those N descriptors. With out-of-order
completions (e.g. the completion for a packet copied into buffer N
arrives before the completion for a packet copied into buffer N-1),
the driver can re-post and overwrite a header buffer that the device
is still going to write into, corrupting the header of a packet
whose completion has not yet been processed.
Fix both issues by indexing the header buffer by buf_id on both the post
and read paths. Reading from buf_id's slot is therefore always correct
regardless of completion ordering (fixes problem 1).
Indexing by buf_id also ties each header slot to the lifetime of its
buffer state. A buffer state is only returned to the free/recycle lists
when its own completion (buf_id) is processed, so its header slot can
only be re-posted after the device is done with it. This makes header
slot reuse safe under out-of-order completions (fixes problem 2).
Allocate (gve_rx_alloc_hdr_bufs) and free (gve_rx_free_hdr_bufs) the
header buffers based on num_buf_states to match the buf_id indexing.

net: thunderbolt: Fix frags[] overflow by bounding frame_count
tbnet_poll() assembles a multi-frame ThunderboltIP packet into one skb. The
first frame goes into the skb linear area and every further frame is added as
a page fragment.
A packet of frame_count frames therefore ends up with frame_count - 1
fragments. tbnet_check_frame() only bounds the peer supplied frame_count to
TBNET_RING_SIZE / 4 (64), which is far above MAX_SKB_FRAGS (17 by default). A
peer that sends a packet of 19 or more small frames pushes nr_frags past
MAX_SKB_FRAGS, so skb_add_rx_frag() writes past skb_shinfo()->frags[] and
corrupts memory after the shared info.
Tighten the start of packet bound to MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 so a packet can never
produce more fragments than frags[] can hold. This matches the recent skb

flow_dissector: check device type before reading ETH_ADDRS
__skb_flow_dissect() unconditionally reads 12 bytes from eth_hdr(skb)
when FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_ETH_ADDRS is requested. This assumes the skb
has a valid Ethernet header at mac_header, which is not always the case.
The problem can be triggered by:
1. Creating a TUN device in L3 mode (IFF_TUN, hard_header_len=0)
2. Attaching a multiq qdisc with a flower filter matching on eth_src
3. Sending a packet through AF_PACKET
Since TUN in L3 mode has no link-layer header, mac_header points to
the L3 data area. The flow dissector reads 12 bytes of uninitialized
skb memory, which then propagates through fl_set_masked_key() and is
used as a rhashtable lookup key in __fl_lookup(), as reported by KMSAN.
Rejecting the filter in the control path (at tc filter add time) is
not feasible because TC filter blocks can be shared between arbitrary
devices -- a filter installed on an Ethernet device may later classify
packets on a headerless device through a shared block. The device
association is not fixed at filter creation time.
Fix this by gating the memcpy on dev->type == ARPHRD_ETHER, which
ensures only true Ethernet-framed packets have their addresses read.
This is more precise than the previous hard_header_len >= 12 check,
which would incorrectly pass for non-Ethernet link types like IPoIB
(ARPHRD_INFINIBAND, hard_header_len=24) and FDDI (hard_header_len=21)
whose L2 headers are not in Ethernet format. Additionally check
skb_mac_header_was_set() to guard against the pathological case where
mac_header is the unset sentinel (~0U), which would cause eth_hdr() to
return a wild pointer.
For the act_mirred redirect case (Ethernet packet redirected to a
non-Ethernet device sharing a TC block), zeroing the key is the correct
behavior: the packet is now being classified on the target device, where
Ethernet address matching is not semantically meaningful.
Note: on non-Ethernet devices, the zeroed key will match a filter
configured with all-zero MAC addresses. This is an improvement over the
previous behavior where uninitialized memory could randomly match any
filter.

net: macb: add TX stall timeout callback to recover from lost TSTART write
The MACB found in the Raspberry Pi RP1 suffers from sporadic stalls on
the TX queue.
While the exact root cause is not yet fully understood, it is likely
related to a hardware issue where a TSTART write to the NCR register
is missed, preventing the transmission from being kicked off.
Implement a timeout callback to handle TX queue stalls, triggering the
existing restart mechanism to recover.

devlink: Fix parent ref leak on tc-bw failure
When a node is created via rate-new with tc-bw and a parent node,
devlink_nl_rate_set() executes the sequence of ops. It bails out on the
first failure and doesn't rollback anything. For most things that is
fine (setting some numbers), but the parent set can leak if there's
another failure after that.
That is precisely what happens when parent setting isn't the last block
in the function. After the referenced "Fixes" commit, when tc-bw fails
to be set the function bails out after having set the parent and
incremented its refcount.
There are two callers:
- devlink_nl_rate_set_doit() is fine, it just reports the error.
- but devlink_nl_rate_new_doit() frees the newly created node and leaks
the parent refcnt.
Fix that by reordering the blocks so parent setting is last and adding a
comment explaining this so future modification preserve the ordering
(hopefully).

sctp: hold socket lock when dumping endpoints in sctp_diag
SCTP_DIAG endpoint dumping was traversing endpoint address lists without
holding lock_sock(), while those lists could change concurrently via
socket operations (e.g., bindx changes). This creates a race where
nla_reserve() counts addresses under RCU protection, but the subsequent
copy may see fewer entries, potentially leaking uninitialized memory to
userspace.
Fix this by:
- Taking a reference on each endpoint during hash traversal
- Moving socket operations (lock_sock()) outside read_lock_bh()
- Serializing address list access during dump
- Reworking sctp_for_each_endpoint() to support restart-based traversal
with (net, pos) tracking
Also:
- Add WARN_ON_ONCE() for inconsistent address counts
- Fix idiag_states filtering for LISTEN vs association cases
- Skip dumping endpoints being freed (ep->base.dead)
- Move dump position tracking into iterator, removing cb->args[4] and
its comment for sctp_ep_dump().,
- Update the comment for cb->args[4] and remove the comment for unused
cb->args[5] for sctp_sock_dump().
Note: traversal is restart-based and may re-scan buckets multiple times,
but this is acceptable due to small bucket sizes and required to support
sleeping-safe callbacks.

Reject invalid `net.ipv4.tcp_reordering` values before they reach TCP

When registering the table for a non-init network namespace, relocate

Harden `tcp_mtu_probe()` itself by computing `size_needed` as `u64`.

ioctl path. This series adds it on the RTM_NEWLINK path.
Each changelink is gated at the top of the op, before any attribute is
parsed, because the per-type parsers can update live tunnel fields first
(for example ipgre_netlink_parms() sets t->collect_md). The check is
skipped when the link netns is dev_net(dev), where the rtnl path already

The check goes through a new helper, rtnl_dev_link_net_capable(), added

net: ip_gre: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and
the tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in
or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.
Add rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() next to rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() in
net/core/rtnetlink.c. It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the link netns and is
skipped when the link netns is dev_net(dev), where the rtnl path already
checked it. The other patches in this series use the same helper.
Gate ipgre_changelink() and erspan_changelink() with it, at the top of
the op before any attribute is parsed, because the parsers update live
tunnel fields first. ipgre_netlink_parms() sets t->collect_md before
ip_tunnel_changelink() runs.

"Core & protocols:
- Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack
continues. In this chapter:
- don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration
- don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers
- prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal
- Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU.
It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating
names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock.
- Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even
tho user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the
OOO programming model results in repeating the dump for each
netdev. Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior.
- Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes
down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement.
- Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on
retransmit timeout.
- Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic.
- Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos.
- Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256.
- Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need
to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option,
because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 >
40).
- Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address
Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN
deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6).
- Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over
tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments).
- Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address.
- Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()).
- Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2).
- Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit).
- Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows
migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies.
The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA
migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot
express reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors.
The new interface identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports
reqid changes, address family changes, encap removal, and uses an
atomic create+install flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse
during AEAD SA migration.
- Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE.
- Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter.
Cross-tree stuff:
- Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth
Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto
API users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into
reference-counted objects.
- Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the
global crypto API as obsolete and insecure.
Wireless:
- Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with
lower capability than AP.
- Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed).
- More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast,
schedule improvements, multi-station etc.)
- Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work
(e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support).
- Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs.
Netfilter:
- Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary
lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different
namespaces.
- Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object
lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy.
Deletions:
- Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages to
avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream. More
work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find any
users (original author admitted that they never deployed it).
- Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far
more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks
unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from the
vendor that added this are AWOL.
- Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM
needs, AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits.
- Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol
graveyard, I mean, repository.
- Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit
kernel) interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely,
soon.

The cited commit moved fib4_rules_exit() earlier to ->exit_rtnl(),
but the kernel socket destroyed in ->exit() could eventually reach
__fib_lookup().
I left fib4_rules_exit() in ->exit_rtnl() because fib4_rule_delete()
calls fib_unmerge(), which requires RTNL.
However, when ->delete() is called, ->configure() has already been
called, thus fib_unmerge() in ->delete() has no effect.
Let's remove fib_unmerge() in fib4_rule_delete() and move
fib4_rules_exit() to ->exit().
Many thanks to Ido Schimmel for providing the nice repro very quickly.
Note that we can make fib_rules_ops.delete() return void once

net: serialize netif_running() check in enqueue_to_backlog()
Syzbot reported a KASAN slab-use-after-free in fib_rules_lookup().
The root cause is a race condition where packets can escape the backlog
flushing during device unregistration (e.g., during netns exit).
Commit e9e4dd3267d0 ("net: do not process device backlog during unregistration")
introduced a lockless netif_running() check in enqueue_to_backlog() to
prevent queuing packets to an unregistering device.
However, this creates a TOCTOU race window.
A lockless transmitter (like veth_xmit) can pass
the check before dev_close() clears IFF_UP. If the transmitter is then
delayed, flush_all_backlogs() can run and finish before the transmitter
grabs the backlog lock and queues the packet. The packet then escapes
the flush and triggers UAF later when processed.
Fix this by moving the netif_running() check inside the backlog lock.
This serializes the check with the flush work (which also grabs the lock).
We then either queue the packet before the flush runs (so it gets flushed),
or check netif_running() after the flush/close completes (so it gets dropped).

net: skmsg: preserve sg.copy across SG transforms
The sk_msg sg.copy bitmap is part of the scatterlist entry ownership
state. A set bit tells sk_msg_compute_data_pointers() not to expose the
entry through writable BPF ctx->data. This protects entries backed by
pages that are not private to the sk_msg, such as splice-backed file
page-cache pages.
Several sk_msg transform paths move, copy, split, or compact
msg->sg.data[] entries without moving the matching sg.copy bit. This can
make an externally backed entry arrive at a new slot with a clear copy
bit. A later SK_MSG verdict can then expose sg_virt(sge) as writable
ctx->data and BPF stores can modify the original page cache.
Keep sg.copy synchronized with sg.data[] whenever entries are
transferred, shifted, split, or copied into a new sk_msg. Clear the bit
when an entry is replaced by a newly allocated private page or freed.
This covers the BPF pull/push/pop helpers, sk_msg_shift_left/right(),
sk_msg_xfer(), and tls_split_open_record(), including the partial tail
entry created during TLS open-record splitting.

atm: remove the local ATM (NSAP) address registry
net/atm/addr.c maintained the per-device lists of local NSAP addresses
(dev->local) and ILMI-learned LECS addresses (dev->lecs). These exist
solely to serve SVC signaling: the lists are populated through the
ATM_{ADD,DEL,RST}ADDR / ATM_{ADD,DEL,GET}LECSADDR ioctls used by the
atmsigd / ILMI daemons, and consumed when registering addresses with the
signaling daemon. The LECS list belonged to LAN Emulation, which has
been removed.
With no SVC users in a DSL-only configuration these lists are always
empty, so drop the registry entirely:
- remove the ADDR/LECSADDR/RSTADDR ioctls
- drop the now-always-empty "atmaddress" sysfs attribute
- remove the dev->local / dev->lecs lists, structs and enums
- delete net/atm/addr.c and net/atm/addr.h
The device ESI ("MAC" address) and its ATM_{G,S}ETESI ioctls and
"address" sysfs attribute are retained - the USB DSL modems populate
the ESI.

on the removed PCI/SBUS adapters) are gone, and neither surviving driver

ATM_QUERYLOOP. They now uniformly return an error regardless.

the core only ever initialises push_oam to NULL (in vcc_create() and the

- Fix discrepancy in --dump-tasks option
Due to a mistake, rtla-timerlat-hist used the CLI syntax
"--dump-task" instead of the documented "--dump-tasks". Change the
option to match both documentation and the other timerlat tool,
rtla-timerlat-top.
- Extend coverage of runtime tests
Cover both top and hist tools in all applicable test cases, add tests

tests.
- Add unit tests for actions
rtla's actions feature is implemented in its source file and contains
non-trivial parsing logic. Cover it with unit tests.
- Stop record trace on interrupt
Fix a bug where an interval exists after receiving a signal in which
the main instance is stopped but the record instance is not, leading
to discrepancies in reported results and sometimes rtla hanging.
- Restore continue flag in actions_perform()
Fix a bug where rtla always continues tracing after hitting a
threshold even if the continue action was triggered just once, and
add tests verifying that the flag is reset properly.
- Migrate command line interface to libsubcmd
Replace rtla's argument parsing using getopt_long() with libsubcmd,
used by perf and objtool, to reuse existing code and auto-generate
better help messages. Extensive unit tests are included to detect
regressions.
- Add -A/--aligned option to timerlat tools
Add an option to align timerlat threads, based on the recently
introduced TIMERLAT_ALIGN option of the timerlat tracer, together
with unit tests and documentation.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Rework the task_work infrastructure.
Both the local (DEFER_TASKRUN) and the normal (tctx) task_work lists
were llist based, which is LIFO ordered, and hence each run had to do
an O(n) list reversal pass first to restore queue order.
Additionally, to cap the amount of task_work run, each method needed
a retry list as well.
Add a lockless MPCS FIFO queue (based on Dmitry Vyukov's intrusive
MPSC algorithm) and switch both task_work lists to it. It performs
better than llists and we can then also ditch the retry lists as well
as entries are popped one-at-the-time.
On top of those changes, run the tctx fallback task_work directly and
remove the now-unused per-ctx fallback machinery entirely.
- zcrx user notifications.
Add a mechanism for zcrx to communicate conditions back to userspace
via a dedicated CQE, with the initial users being notification on
running out of buffers and on a frag copy fallback, plus
shared-memory notification statistics.
Alongside that, a series of zcrx reliability and cleanup fixes: more
reliable scrubbing, poisoning pointers on unregistration, dropping an
extra ifq close, adding a ctx back-pointer, reordering fd allocation
in the export path, and killing a dead 'sock' member.
- Allow using io_uring registered buffers for plain SEND and RECV, not
just for the zero-copy send path.
This enables targets like ublk's NBD backend to push/pull IO data
directly to/from a registered buffer over a plain send/recv on a TCP
socket.
- Registered buffer improvements: account huge pages correctly, bump
the io_mapped_ubuf length field to size_t, and raise the previous 1GB
registered buffer size limit.
- Restrict the ctx access exposed to io_uring BPF struct_ops programs
by handing them an opaque type rather than the full io_ring_ctx, and
add a separate MAINTAINERS entry for the bpf-ops code.
- Allow opcode filtering on IORING_OP_CONNECT.
- Validate ring-provided buffer addresses with access_ok(), and align
the legacy buffer add limit with MAX_BIDS_PER_BGID.

async data on connect/bind, dropping async_size for OP_LISTEN, making

Reported by syzbot. The root cause is that user-supplied segment

inside the call chain by nilfs_sufile_updatev(), which emits a

Fix it by validating the contents of kbufs[4] in

nilfs_fill_super() takes another reference to the same

- new ioctl to return raw checksums to userspace (a bit tricky given
compression and tail extents), can be used for mkfs and
deduplication optimizations
- provide stable UUID for e.g. overlayfs and temp_fsid, also
reflected in statvfs() field f_fsid, internal dev_t is hashed in to
allow cloning
- add 32bit compat version of GET_SUBVOL_INFO ioctl
- in experimental build, support huge folios (up to 2M)
Performance related improvements/changes:
- limit bio size to the estimated optimum derived from the queue,
this prevents build up of too much data for writeback, which could
cause latency spikes (reported improvement 15% on sequential
writes)
- don't force direct IO to be serialized, forgotten change during
mount API port, brings back +60% of throughput
- lockless calculation of number of shrinkable extent maps, improve
performance with many memcg allocated objects
Notable fixes:
- in zoned mode, fix a deadlock due to zone reclaim and relocation
when space needs to be flushed
- don't trim device which is internally not tracked as writeable
(e.g. when missing device is being rescanned)
- fix deadlock when cloning inline extent and mounted with
flushoncommit
- fix false IO failures after direct IO falls back to buffered write
in some cases
Core:
- remove COW fixup mechanism completely; detect and fix changes to
pages outside of filesystem tracking, guaranteed since 5.8, grace
period is over
- remove 2K block size support, experimental to test subpage code on
x86_64 but now it would block folio changes
- tree-checker improvements of:
- free-space cache and tree items
- root reference and backref items
- extent state exceptions in reloc tree
- add tracepoints related to sync, tree-log and transactions
- device stats item tracking unification, remove item if there are no
stats recorded, also don't leave stale stats on replaced device
- allow extent buffer pages to be allocated as movable, to help page
migration
- added checks for proper extent buffer release
- btrfs.ko code size reduction due to transaction abort call
simplifications
- several struct size reductions
- more auto free conversions
- more verbose assertions"
