If the IOMMU driver reports that ATS is not supported for a device, set the IOMMU_HW_CAP_PCI_ATS_NOT_SUPPORTED flag in the returned hardware capabilities. This uses a negative flag for UAPI compatibility. Existing userspace assumes ATS is supported if no flag is present. This also ensures that new userspace works correctly on both old and new kernels, where a zero value implies ATS support. When this flag is set, ATS cannot be used for the device.

2026-03-17ovpn: add support for asymmetric peer IDsRalf Lici
In order to support the multipeer architecture, upon connection setup each side of a tunnel advertises a unique ID that the other side must include in packets sent to them. Therefore when transmitting a packet, a peer inserts the recipient's advertised ID for that specific tunnel into the peer ID field. When receiving a packet, a peer expects to find its own unique receive ID for that specific tunnel in the peer ID field. Add support for the TX peer ID and embed it into transmitting packets. If no TX peer ID is specified, fallback to using the same peer ID both for RX and TX in order to be compatible with the non-multipeer compliant peers.

Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini: "Quite a large pull request, partly due to skipping last week and therefore having material from ~all submaintainers in this one. About a fourth of it is a new selftest, and a couple more changes are large in number of files touched (fixing a -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end compiler warning) or lines changed (reformatting of a table in the API documentation, thanks rST). But who am I kidding---it's a lot of commits and there are a lot of bugs being fixed here, some of them on the nastier side like the RISC-V ones. ARM: - Correctly handle deactivation of interrupts that were activated from LRs. Since EOIcount only denotes deactivation of interrupts that are not present in an LR, start EOIcount deactivation walk *after* the last irq that made it into an LR - Avoid calling into the stubs to probe for ICH_VTR_EL2.TDS when pKVM is already enabled -- not only thhis isn't possible (pKVM will reject the call), but it is also useless: this can only happen for a CPU that has already booted once, and the capability will not change - Fix a couple of low-severity bugs in our S2 fault handling path, affecting the recently introduced LS64 handling and the even more esoteric handling of hwpoison in a nested context - Address yet another syzkaller finding in the vgic initialisation, where we would end-up destroying an uninitialised vgic with nasty consequences - Address an annoying case of pKVM failing to boot when some of the memblock regions that the host is faulting in are not page-aligned - Inject some sanity in the NV stage-2 walker by checking the limits against the advertised PA size, and correctly report the resulting faults PPC: - Fix a PPC e500 build error due to a long-standing wart that was exposed by the recent conversion to kmalloc_obj(); rip out all the ugliness that led to the wart RISC-V: - Prevent speculative out-of-bounds access using array_index_nospec() in APLIC interrupt handling, ONE_REG regiser access, AIA CSR access, float register access, and PMU counter access - Fix potential use-after-free issues in kvm_riscv_gstage_get_leaf(), kvm_riscv_aia_aplic_has_attr(), and kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr() - Fix potential null pointer dereference in kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_rmw_topei() - Fix off-by-one array access in SBI PMU - Skip THP support check during dirty logging - Fix error code returned for Smstateen and Ssaia ONE_REG interface - Check host Ssaia extension when creating AIA irqchip x86: - Fix cases where CPUID mitigation features were incorrectly marked as available whenever the kernel used scattered feature words for them - Validate _all_ GVAs, rather than just the first GVA, when processing a range of GVAs for Hyper-V's TLB flush hypercalls - Fix a brown paper bug in add_atomic_switch_msr() - Use hlist_for_each_entry_srcu() when traversing mask_notifier_list, to fix a lockdep warning; KVM doesn't hold RCU, just irq_srcu - Ensure AVIC VMCB fields are initialized if the VM has an in-kernel local APIC (and AVIC is enabled at the module level) - Update CR8 write interception when AVIC is (de)activated, to fix a bug where the guest can run in perpetuity with the CR8 intercept enabled - Add a quirk to skip the consistency check on FREEZE_IN_SMM, i.e. to allow L1 hypervisors to set FREEZE_IN_SMM. This reverts (by default) an unintentional tightening of userspace ABI in 6.17, and provides some amount of backwards compatibility with hypervisors who want to freeze PMCs on VM-Entry - Validate the VMCS/VMCB on return to a nested guest from SMM, because either userspace or the guest could stash invalid values in memory and trigger the processor's consistency checks Generic: - Remove a subtle pseudo-overlay of kvm_stats_desc, which, aside from being unnecessary and confusing, triggered compiler warnings due to -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end - Document that vcpu->mutex is take outside of kvm->slots_lock and kvm->slots_arch_lock, which is intentional and desirable despite being rather unintuitive Selftests: - Increase the maximum number of NUMA nodes in the guest_memfd selftest to 64 (from 8)" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (43 commits) KVM: selftests: Verify SEV+ guests can read and write EFER, CR0, CR4, and CR8 Documentation: kvm: fix formatting of the quirks table KVM: x86: clarify leave_smm() return value selftests: kvm: add a test that VMX validates controls on RSM selftests: kvm: extract common functionality out of smm_test.c KVM: SVM: check validity of VMCB controls when returning from SMM KVM: VMX: check validity of VMCS controls when returning from SMM KVM: SVM: Set/clear CR8 write interception when AVIC is (de)activated KVM: SVM: Initialize AVIC VMCB fields if AVIC is enabled with in-kernel APIC KVM: x86: Introduce KVM_X86_QUIRK_VMCS12_ALLOW_FREEZE_IN_SMM KVM: x86: Fix SRCU list traversal in kvm_fire_mask_notifiers() KVM: VMX: Fix a wrong MSR update in add_atomic_switch_msr() KVM: x86: hyper-v: Validate all GVAs during PV TLB flush KVM: x86: synthesize CPUID bits only if CPU capability is set KVM: PPC: e500: Rip out "struct tlbe_ref" KVM: PPC: e500: Fix build error due to using kmalloc_obj() with wrong type KVM: selftests: Increase 'maxnode' for guest_memfd tests KVM: arm64: pkvm: Don't reprobe for ICH_VTR_EL2.TDS on CPU hotplug KVM: arm64: vgic: Pick EOIcount deactivations from AP-list tail KVM: arm64: Remove the redundant ISB in __kvm_at_s1e2() ...

2026-03-13udp: Remove UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV and UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV.Kuniyuki Iwashima
UDP-Lite supports variable-length checksum and has two socket options, UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV and UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV, to control the checksum coverage. Let's remove the support. setsockopt(UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV / UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV) was only available for UDP-Lite and returned -ENOPROTOOPT for UDP. Now, the options are handled in ip_setsockopt() and ipv6_setsockopt(), which still return the same error. getsockopt(UDPLITE_SEND_CSCOV / UDPLITE_RECV_CSCOV) was available for UDP and always returned 0, meaning full checksum, but now -ENOPROTOOPT is returned. Given that getsockopt() is meaningless for UDP and even the options are not defined under include/uapi/, this should not be a problem. $ man 7 udplite ...

2026-03-12KVM: x86: Use __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for UAPI structures with VLAsDavid Woodhouse
Commit 94dfc73e7cf4 ("treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members") broke the userspace API for C++. These structures ending in VLAs are typically a *header*, which can be followed by an arbitrary number of entries. Userspace typically creates a larger structure with some non-zero number of entries, for example in QEMU's kvm_arch_get_supported_msr_feature(): struct { struct kvm_msrs info; struct kvm_msr_entry entries[1]; } msr_data = {}; While that works in C, it fails in C++ with an error like: flexible array member 'kvm_msrs::entries' not at end of 'struct msr_data' Fix this by using __DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for the VLA, which uses [0] for C++ compilation.

2026-03-12vt: add KT_CSI keysym type for modifier-aware CSI sequencesNicolas Pitre
Add a new keysym type KT_CSI that generates CSI tilde sequences with automatic modifier encoding. The keysym value encodes the CSI parameter number, producing sequences like ESC [ <value> ~ or ESC [ <value> ; <mod> ~ when Shift, Alt, or Ctrl modifiers are held. This allows navigation keys (Home, End, Insert, Delete, PgUp, PgDn) and function keys to generate modifier-aware escape sequences without consuming string table entries for each modifier combination. Define key symbols for navigation keys (K_CSI_HOME, K_CSI_END, etc.) and function keys (K_CSI_F1 through K_CSI_F20) using standard xterm CSI parameter values. The modifier encoding follows the xterm convention: mod = 1 + (shift ? 1 : 0) + (alt ? 2 : 0) + (ctrl ? 4 : 0) Allowed CSI parameter values range from 0 to 99. Note: The Linux console historically uses a non-standard double-bracket format for F1-F5 (ESC [ [ A through ESC [ [ E) rather than the xterm tilde format (ESC [ 11 ~ through ESC [ 15 ~). The K_CSI_F1 through K_CSI_F5 definitions use the xterm format. Converting F1-F5 to KT_CSI would require updating the "linux" terminfo entry to match. Navigation keys and F6-F20 already use the tilde format and are fully compatible.

2026-03-12namespace: allow creating empty mount namespacesChristian Brauner
Add support for creating a mount namespace that contains only a copy of the root mount from the caller's mount namespace, with none of the child mounts. This is useful for containers and sandboxes that want to start with a minimal mount table and populate it from scratch rather than inheriting and then tearing down the full mount tree. Two new flags are introduced: - CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag space. - UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS for unshare(), reusing the CLONE_PARENT_SETTID bit which has no meaning for unshare. Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. For the unshare path, UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS is converted to CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS in unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() before it reaches copy_mnt_ns(), so the mount namespace code only needs to handle a single flag. In copy_mnt_ns(), when CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS is set, clone_mnt() is used instead of copy_tree() to clone only the root mount. The caller's root and working directory are both reset to the root dentry of the new mount. The cleanup variables are changed from vfsmount pointers with __free(mntput) to struct path with __free(path_put) because the empty mount namespace path needs to release both mount and dentry references when replacing the caller's root and pwd. In the normal (non-empty) path only the mount component is set, and dput(NULL) is a no-op so path_put remains correct there as well.

2026-03-12mount: add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACEChristian Brauner
Add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE flag to fsmount() that creates a new mount namespace with the newly created filesystem attached to a copy of the real rootfs. This returns a namespace file descriptor instead of an O_PATH mount fd, similar to how OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE works for open_tree(). This allows creating a new filesystem and immediately placing it in a new mount namespace in a single operation, which is useful for container runtimes and other namespace-based isolation mechanisms. The rootfs mount is created before copying the real rootfs for the new namespace meaning that the mount namespace id for the mount of the root of the namespace is bigger than the child mounted on top of it. We've never explicitly given the guarantee for such ordering and I doubt anyone relies on it. Accepting that lets us avoid copying the mount again and also avoids having to massage may_copy_tree() to grant an exception for fsmount->mnt->mnt_ns being NULL.

2026-03-11pidfd: add CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILLChristian Brauner
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL that ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from clone3(). When the last reference to the struct file created by clone3() is closed the kernel sends SIGKILL to the child. A pidfd obtained via pidfd_open() for the same process does not keep the child alive and does not trigger autokill - only the specific struct file from clone3() has this property. This is useful for container runtimes, service managers, and sandboxed subprocess execution - any scenario where the child must die if the parent crashes or abandons the pidfd. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL requires both CLONE_PIDFD (the whole point is tying lifetime to the pidfd file) and CLONE_AUTOREAP (a killed child with no one to reap it would become a zombie). CLONE_THREAD is rejected because autokill targets a process not a thread. The clone3 pidfd is identified by the PIDFD_AUTOKILL file flag set on the struct file at clone3() time. The pidfs .release handler checks this flag and sends SIGKILL via do_send_sig_info(SIGKILL, SEND_SIG_PRIV, ...) only when it is set. Files from pidfd_open() or open_by_handle_at() are distinct struct files that do not carry this flag. dup()/fork() share the same struct file so they extend the child's lifetime until the last reference drops. CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL uses a privilege model based on CLONE_NNP: without CLONE_NNP the child could escalate privileges via setuid/setgid exec after being spawned, so the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in its user namespace. With CLONE_NNP the child can never gain new privileges so unprivileged usage is allowed. This is a deliberate departure from the pdeath_signal model which is reset during secureexec and commit_creds() rendering it useless for container runtimes that need to deprivilege themselves.

This is analogous to prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS) but applied at process creation rather than requiring a separate step after the child starts running. CLONE_NNP is rejected with CLONE_THREAD. It's conceptually a lot simpler if the whole thread-group is forced into NNP and not have single threads running around with NNP.

2026-03-11clone: add CLONE_AUTOREAPChristian Brauner
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_AUTOREAP that makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent. Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of specific children while still being able to wait() on others. CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when it eventually exits. CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget pattern where the parent simply doesn't care about the child's exit status. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero. CLONE_AUTOREAP is rejected in combination with CLONE_PARENT. If a CLONE_AUTOREAP child were to clone(CLONE_PARENT) the new grandchild would inherit exit_signal == 0 from the autoreap parent's group leader but without signal->autoreap. This grandchild would become a zombie that never sends a signal and is never autoreaped - confusing and arguably broken behavior. The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children. Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created with CLONE_AUTOREAP.

This ioctl is used to set up RLE (read lock enabled) and WLE (write lock enabled) parameters of the Locking object. In Single User Mode (SUM), if the RangeStartRangeLengthPolicy parameter is set in the 'Reactivate' method, only Admin authority maintains the locking range length and start (offset) attributes of Locking objects set up for SUM. All other attributes from struct opal_user_lr_setup (RLE - read locking enabled, WLE - write locking enabled) shall remain in possession of the User authority associated with the Locking object set for SUM. With the IOC_OPAL_ENABLE_DISABLE_LR ioctl, the opal_user_lr_setup members 'range_start' and 'range_length' of the ioctl argument are ignored.

2026-03-09io_uring/timeout: immediate timeout argPavel Begunkov
One the things the user has always keep in mind is that any user pointers they put into an SQE is not going to be read by the kernel until submission happens, and the user has to ensure the pointee stays alive until then. For example, snippet below will lead to UAF of the on stack variable ts. Instead of passing the timeout value as a pointer allow to store it immediately in the SQE. The user has to set a new flag called IORING_TIMEOUT_IMMEDIATE_ARG, in which case sqe->addr for timeout or sqe->addr2 for timeout update requests will be interpreted as a time value in nanosecods. void prep_timeout(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe) { struct __kernel_timespec ts = {...}; prep_timeout(sqe, &ts); } void submit() { sqe = get_sqe(); prep_timeout(sqe); io_uring_submit(); } Signed-off-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Add an extended feature flag NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_IEEE8021X_AUTH to allow a driver to indicate support for the IEEE 802.1X authentication protocol in non-AP STA mode, as defined in "IEEE P802.11bi/D4.0, 12.16.5". In case of SME in userspace, the Authentication frame body is prepared in userspace while the driver finalizes the Authentication frame once it receives the required fields and elements. The driver indicates support for IEEE 802.1X authentication using the extended feature flag so that userspace can initiate IEEE 802.1X authentication. When the feature flag is set, process IEEE 802.1X Authentication frames from userspace in non-AP STA mode. If the flag is not set, reject IEEE 802.1X Authentication frames.
