This reverts commit e3f6a42272e028c46695acc83fc7d7c42f2750ad.

The commit says that the tracepoint only deals with the current task,
however the following case is not current task:

comm_write() {
    p = get_proc_task(inode);
    if (!p)
        return -ESRCH;

    if (same_thread_group(current, p))
        set_task_comm(p, buffer);
}
where set_task_comm() calls __set_task_comm() which records
the update of p and not current.

So revert the patch to show pid.

Fix netfslib such that when it's making an unbuffered or DIO write, to make
sure that it sends each subrequest strictly sequentially, waiting till the
previous one is 'committed' before sending the next so that we don't have
pieces landing out of order and potentially leaving a hole if an error
occurs (ENOSPC for example).

This is done by copying in just those bits of issuing, collecting and
retrying subrequests that are necessary to do one subrequest at a time.
Retrying, in particular, is simpler because if the current subrequest needs
retrying, the source iterator can just be copied again and the subrequest
prepped and issued again without needing to be concerned about whether it
needs merging with the previous or next in the sequence.

Note that the issuing loop waits for a subrequest to complete right after
issuing it, but this wait could be moved elsewhere allowing preparatory
steps to be performed whilst the subrequest is in progress.  In particular,
once content encryption is available in netfslib, that could be done whilst
waiting, as could cleanup of buffers that have been completed.

<title>mm/tracing: rss_stat: ensure curr is false from kthread context</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=079c24d5690262e83ee476e2a548e416f3237511'/>
<id>079c24d5690262e83ee476e2a548e416f3237511</id>
<content type='text'>
The rss_stat trace event allows userspace tools, like Perfetto [1], to
inspect per-process RSS metric changes over time.

The curr field was introduced to rss_stat in commit e4dcad204d3a
("rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm").  Its
intent is to indicate whether the RSS update is for the mm_struct of the
current execution context; and is set to false when operating on a remote
mm_struct (e.g., via kswapd or a direct reclaimer).

However, an issue arises when a kernel thread temporarily adopts a user
process's mm_struct.  Kernel threads do not have their own mm_struct and
normally have current-&gt;mm set to NULL.  To operate on user memory, they
can "borrow" a memory context using kthread_use_mm(), which sets
current-&gt;mm to the user process's mm.

This can be observed, for example, in the USB Function Filesystem (FFS)
driver.  The ffs_user_copy_worker() handles AIO completions and uses
kthread_use_mm() to copy data to a user-space buffer.  If a page fault
occurs during this copy, the fault handler executes in the kthread's
context.

At this point, current is the kthread, but current-&gt;mm points to the user
process's mm.  Since the rss_stat event (from the page fault) is for that
same mm, the condition current-&gt;mm == mm becomes true, causing curr to be
incorrectly set to true when the trace event is emitted.

This is misleading because it suggests the mm belongs to the kthread,
confusing userspace tools that track per-process RSS changes and
corrupting their mm_id-to-process association.

Fix this by ensuring curr is always false when the trace event is emitted
from a kthread context by checking for the PF_KTHREAD flag.

 "Features:

   - Optimize close_range() from O(range size) to O(active FDs) by using
     find_next_bit() on the open_fds bitmap instead of linearly scanning
     the entire requested range. This is a significant improvement for
     large-range close operations on sparse file descriptor tables.

   - Add FS_XFLAG_VERITY file attribute for fs-verity files, retrievable
     via FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and file_getattr(). The flag is read-only.
     Add tracepoints for fs-verity enable and verify operations,
     replacing the previously removed debug printk's.

   - Prevent nfsd from exporting special kernel filesystems like pidfs
     and nsfs. These filesystems have custom -&gt;open() and -&gt;permission()
     export methods that are designed for open_by_handle_at(2) only and
     are incompatible with nfsd. Update the exportfs documentation
     accordingly.

  Fixes:

   - Fix KMSAN uninit-value in ovl_fill_real() where strcmp() was used
     on a non-null-terminated decrypted directory entry name from
     fscrypt. This triggered on encrypted lower layers when the
     decrypted name buffer contained uninitialized tail data.

     The fix also adds VFS-level name_is_dot(), name_is_dotdot(), and
     name_is_dot_dotdot() helpers, replacing various open-coded "." and
     ".." checks across the tree.

   - Fix read-only fsflags not being reset together with xflags in
     vfs_fileattr_set(). Currently harmless since no read-only xflags
     overlap with flags, but this would cause inconsistencies for any
     future shared read-only flag

   - Return -EREMOTE instead of -ESRCH from PIDFD_GET_INFO when the
     target process is in a different pid namespace. This lets userspace
     distinguish "process exited" from "process in another namespace",
     matching glibc's pidfd_getpid() behavior

  Cleanups:

   - Use C-string literals in the Rust seq_file bindings, replacing the
     kernel::c_str!() macro (available since Rust 1.77)

   - Fix typo in d_walk_ret enum comment, add porting notes for the

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance
  optimizations:

   - introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for
     immutable files

   - reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty
     pages

   - implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority
     inversion.

  Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA
  footprint when utilizing large block sizes.

  Detail summary:

  Enhancements:
   - support large folio for immutable non-compressed case
   - support non-4KB block size without packed_ssa feature
   - optimize f2fs_enable_checkpoint() to avoid long delay
   - optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin
   - optimize NAT block loading during checkpoint write
   - add write latency stats for NAT and SIT blocks in
     f2fs_write_checkpoint

 "In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance
  optimizations:

   - introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for
     immutable files

   - reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty
     pages

   - implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority
     inversion.

  Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA
  footprint when utilizing large block sizes.

  Detail summary:

  Enhancements:
   - support large folio for immutable non-compressed case
   - support non-4KB block size without packed_ssa feature
   - optimize f2fs_enable_checkpoint() to avoid long delay
   - optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "User visible changes:

   - Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code

     There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To
     differentiate that code from the C code, add entries in for the
     RUST version (with "[RUST]" around it) so that the right
     maintainers get notified on changes.

   - New bitmask-list option added to tracefs

     When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex
     numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f

   - New show_event_filters file in tracefs

     Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active
     filters enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters
     will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be
     examined to see if any filters are active.

   - New show_event_triggers file in tracefs

     Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active
     triggers enabled in the trace instance, the file
     show_event_triggers will list them so that there's only one file
     that needs to be examined to see if any triggers are active.

   - Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too

     Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace
     instances instead of the top level instance. But if
     traceoff_on_warning triggers, it doesn't stop the buffer with
     trace_printk() and that data can easily be lost by being
     overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the instance
     that has trace_printk() being written to it.

   - Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses

     When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file
     exists for every event. This displays the internal data of any
     histogram enabled for that event. But it is lacking the function
     that is called to process one of its fields. This is very useful
     information that was missing when debugging histograms.

   - Up the histogram stack size from 16 to 31

     Stack traces can be used as keys for event histograms. Currently
     the size of the stack that is stored is limited to just 16 entries.
     But the storage space in the histogram is 256 bytes, meaning that
     it can store up to 31 entries (plus one for the count of entries).
     Instead of letting that space go to waste, up the limit from 16 to
     31. This makes the keys much more useful.

   - Fix permissions of per CPU file buffer_size_kb

     The per CPU file of buffer_size_kb was incorrectly set to read only
     in a previous cleanup. It should be writable.

   - Reset "last_boot_info" if the persistent buffer is cleared

     The last_boot_info shows address information of a persistent ring
     buffer if it contains data from a previous boot. It is cleared when
     recording starts again, but it is not cleared when the buffer is
     reset. The data is useless after a reset so clear it on reset too.

  Internal changes:

   - A change was made to allow tracepoint callbacks to have preemption
     enabled, and instead be protected by SRCU. This required some
     updates to the callbacks for perf and BPF.

     perf needed to disable preemption directly in its callback because
     it expects preemption disabled in the later code.

     BPF needed to disable migration, as its code expects to run
     completely on the same CPU.

   - Have irq_work wake up other CPU if current CPU is "isolated"

     When there's a waiter waiting on ring buffer data and a new event
     happens, an irq work is triggered to wake up that waiter. This is
     noisy on isolated CPUs (running NO_HZ_FULL). Trigger an IPI to a
     house keeping CPU instead.

   - Use proper free of trigger_data instead of open coding it in.

   - Remove redundant call of event_trigger_reset_filter()

     It was called immediately in a function that was called right after
     it.

   - Workqueue cleanups

   - Report errors if tracing_update_buffers() were to fail.

   - Make the enum update workqueue generic for other parts of tracing

     On boot up, a work queue is created to convert enum names into
     their numbers in the trace event format files. This work queue can
     also be used for other aspects of tracing that takes some time and
     shouldn't be called by the init call code.

     The blk_trace initialization takes a bit of time. Have the
     initialization code moved to the new tracing generic work queue
     function.

   - Skip kprobe boot event creation call if there's no kprobes defined
     on cmdline

     The kprobe initialization to set up kprobes if they are defined on
     the cmdline requires taking the event_mutex lock. This can be held
     by other tracing code doing initialization for a long time. Since
     kprobes added to the kernel command line need to be setup
     immediately, as they may be tracing early initialization code, they
     cannot be postponed in a work queue and must be setup in the
     initcall code.

     If there's no kprobe on the kernel cmdline, there's no reason to
     take the mutex and slow down the boot up code waiting to get the
     lock only to find out there's nothing to do. Simply exit out early
     if there's no kprobes on the kernel cmdline.

     If there are kprobes on the cmdline, then someone cares more about
     tracing over the speed of boot up.

   - Clean up the trigger code a bit

   - Move code out of trace.c and into their own files

     trace.c is now over 11,000 lines of code and has become more
     difficult to maintain. Start splitting it up so that related code
     is in their own files.

     Move all the trace_printk() related code into trace_printk.c.

     Move the __always_inline stack functions into trace.h.

     Move the pid filtering code into a new trace_pid.c file.

   - Better define the max latency and snapshot code

     The latency tracers have a "max latency" buffer that is a copy of
     the main buffer and gets swapped with it when a new high latency is
     detected. This keeps the trace up to the highest latency around
     where this max_latency buffer is never written to. It is only used
     to save the last max latency trace.

     A while ago a snapshot feature was added to tracefs to allow user
     space to perform the same logic. It could also enable events to
     trigger a "snapshot" if one of their fields hit a new high. This
     was built on top of the latency max_latency buffer logic.

     Because snapshots came later, they were dependent on the latency
     tracers to be enabled. In reality, the latency tracers depend on
     the snapshot code and not the other way around. It was just that
     they came first.

     Restructure the code and the kconfigs to have the latency tracers
     depend on snapshot code instead. This actually simplifies the logic
     a bit and allows to disable more when the latency tracers are not
     defined and the snapshot code is.

   - Fix a "false sharing" in the hwlat tracer code

     The loop to search for latency in hardware was using a variable
     that could be changed by user space for each sample. If the user
     change this variable, it could cause a bus contention, and reading
     that variable can show up as a large latency in the trace causing a
     false positive. Read this variable at the start of the sample with
     a READ_ONCE() into a local variable and keep the code from sharing
     cache lines with readers.

   - Fix function graph tracer static branch optimization code

     When only one tracer is defined for function graph tracing, it uses
     a static branch to call that tracer directly. When another tracer
     is added, it goes into loop logic to call all the registered
     callbacks.

     The code was incorrect when going back to one tracer and never
     re-enabled the static branch again to do the optimization code.

   - And other small fixes and cleanups"

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "New features and improvements for the ext4 file system

   - Avoid unnecessary cache invalidation in the extent status cache
     (es_cache) when adding extents to be cached in the es_cache and we
     are not changing the extent tree

   - Add a sysfs parameter, err_report_sec, to control how frequently to
     log a warning message that file system inconsistency has been
     detected (Previously we logged the warning message every 24 hours)

   - Avoid unnecessary forced ordered writes when appending to a file
     when delayed allocation is enabled

   - Defer splitting unwritten extents to I/O completion to improve
     write performance of concurrent direct I/O writes to multiple files

   - Refactor and add kunit tests to the extent splitting and conversion
     code paths

  Various Bug Fixes:

   - Fix a panic when the debugging DOUBLE_CHECK macro is defined

   - Avoid using fast commit for rare and complex file system operations
     to make fast commit easier to reason about. This can also avoid
     some corner cases that could result in file system inconsistency if
     there is a crash between the fast commit before a subsequent full
     commit

   - Fix memory leaks in error paths

   - Fix a false positive reports caused when running stress tests using
     mixed huge-page workloads caused by a race between page migration
     and bitmap updates

   - Fix a potential recursion into file system reclaim when evicting an
     inode when fast commit is enabled

   - Fix a warning caused by a potential double decrement to the dirty
     clusters counter when executing FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN when running a
     stress test

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
     the actual inlined helper.

   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
     basis.

   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
     by up to ~30%.

   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
     the HBH hint.

   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
     a single global rate on the interface.

   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
     that are safer in crash scenarios.

   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
     across different network namespaces.

   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
     optimizations.

   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
     back online.

  Driver API:

   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
     DPLL device via netlink.

   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
     media ports over a single MAC.

   - Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
     signaling.

   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
     controller.

   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt, bng):
         - bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram
           and NVRAM defragmentation

      - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):
         - improve latency of channel restart operations, reducing the
           used H/W resources
         - add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN
         - add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules
         - use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,
           leading to 12% RX tput improvement
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline
           locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new
           layouts
         - ice: introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
     the actual inlined helper.

   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
     basis.

   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
     by up to ~30%.

   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
     the HBH hint.

   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
     a single global rate on the interface.

   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
     that are safer in crash scenarios.

   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
     across different network namespaces.

   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
     optimizations.

   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
     back online.

  Driver API:

   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
     DPLL device via netlink.

   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
     media ports over a single MAC.

   - Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
     signaling.

   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
     controller.

   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt, bng):
         - bnxt: add FW interface update to support FEC stats histogram
           and NVRAM defragmentation

         - add TSO support for UDP over GRE over VLAN
         - add flow counters support for hardware steering (HWS) rules
         - use a static memory area to store headers for H/W GRO,
           leading to 12% RX tput improvement
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - ice: reorganizes layout of Tx and Rx rings for cacheline
           locality and utilizes __cacheline_group* macros on the new
           layouts
         - ice: introduces Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) support
