2026-02-08kcsan, compiler_types: avoid duplicate type issues in BPF Type FormatAlan Maguire
Enabling KCSAN is causing a large number of duplicate types in BTF for core kernel structs like task_struct [1]. This is due to the definition in include/linux/compiler_types.h `#ifdef __SANITIZE_THREAD__ ... `#define __data_racy volatile .. `#else ... `#define __data_racy ... `#endif Because some objects in the kernel are compiled without KCSAN flags (KCSAN_SANITIZE) we sometimes get the empty __data_racy annotation for objects; as a result we get multiple conflicting representations of the associated structs in DWARF, and these lead to multiple instances of core kernel types in BTF since they cannot be deduplicated due to the additional modifier in some instances. Moving the __data_racy definition under CONFIG_KCSAN avoids this problem, since the volatile modifier will be present for both KCSAN and KCSAN_SANITIZE objects in a CONFIG_KCSAN=y kernel.

2026-02-08tests/liveupdate: add in-kernel liveupdate testPasha Tatashin
Introduce an in-kernel test module to validate the core logic of the Live Update Orchestrator's File-Lifecycle-Bound feature. This provides a low-level, controlled environment to test FLB registration and callback invocation without requiring userspace interaction or actual kexec reboots. The test is enabled by the CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_TEST Kconfig option.

2026-02-08liveupdate: luo_flb: introduce File-Lifecycle-Bound global statePasha Tatashin
Introduce a mechanism for managing global kernel state whose lifecycle is tied to the preservation of one or more files. This is necessary for subsystems where multiple preserved file descriptors depend on a single, shared underlying resource. An example is HugeTLB, where multiple file descriptors such as memfd and guest_memfd may rely on the state of a single HugeTLB subsystem. Preserving this state for each individual file would be redundant and incorrect. The state should be preserved only once when the first file is preserved, and restored/finished only once the last file is handled. This patch introduces File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) objects to solve this problem. An FLB is a global, reference-counted object with a defined set of operations: - A file handler (struct liveupdate_file_handler) declares a dependency on one or more FLBs via a new registration function, liveupdate_register_flb(). - When the first file depending on an FLB is preserved, the FLB's .preserve() callback is invoked to save the shared global state. The reference count is then incremented for each subsequent file. - Conversely, when the last file is unpreserved (before reboot) or finished (after reboot), the FLB's .unpreserve() or .finish() callback is invoked to clean up the global resource. The implementation includes: - A new set of ABI definitions (luo_flb_ser, luo_flb_head_ser) and a corresponding FDT node (luo-flb) to serialize the state of all active FLBs and pass them via Kexec Handover. - Core logic in luo_flb.c to manage FLB registration, reference counting, and the invocation of lifecycle callbacks. - An API (liveupdate_flb_get/_incoming/_outgoing) for other kernel subsystems to safely access the live object managed by an FLB, both before and after the live update. This framework provides the necessary infrastructure for more complex subsystems like IOMMU, VFIO, and KVM to integrate with the Live Update Orchestrator.

2026-02-08list: add primitives for private list manipulationsPasha Tatashin
Patch series "list private v2 & luo flb", v9. This series introduces two connected infrastructure improvements: a new API for handling private linked lists, and the "File-Lifecycle-Bound" (FLB) mechanism for the Live Update Orchestrator. 1. Private List Primitives (patches 1-3) Recently, Linux introduced the ability to mark structure members as __private and access them via ACCESS_PRIVATE(). This enforces better encapsulation by ensuring internal details are only accessible by the owning subsystem. However, struct list_head is frequently used as an internal linkage mechanism within these private sections. The standard macros in <linux/list.h> do not support ACCESS_PRIVATE() natively. Consequently, subsystems using private lists are forced to implement ad-hoc workarounds or local iterator macros. This series adds <linux/list_private.h>, providing a set of primitives identical to those in <linux/list.h> but designed for private list heads. It also includes a KUnit test suite to verify that the macros correctly handle pointer offsets and qualifiers. 2. This series adds FLB (patches 4-5) support to Live Update that also internally uses private lists. FLB allows global kernel state (such as IOMMU domains or HugeTLB state) to be preserved once, shared across multiple file descriptors, and restored when needed. This is necessary for subsystems where multiple preserved file descriptors depend on a single, shared underlying resource. Preserving this state for each individual file would be redundant and incorrect. FLB uses reference counting tied to the lifecycle of preserved files. The state is preserved when the first file depending on it is preserved, and restored or cleaned up only when the last file is handled. This patch (of 5): Linux recently added an ability to add private members to structs (i.e. __private) and access them via ACCESS_PRIVATE(). This ensures that those members are only accessible by the subsystem which owns the struct type, and not to the object owner. However, struct list_head often needs to be placed into the private section to be manipulated privately by the subsystem. Add macros to support private list manipulations in <linux/list_private.h>.

2026-02-08delayacct: fix uapi timespec64 definitionArnd Bergmann
The custom definition of 'struct timespec64' is incompatible with both the kernel's internal definition and the glibc type, at least on big-endian targets that have the tv_nsec field in a different place, and the definition clashes with any userspace that also defines a timespec64 structure. Running the header check with -Wpadding enabled produces this output that warns about the incorrect padding: usr/include/linux/taskstats.h:25:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 4 bytes [-Werror=padded] Remove the hack and instead use the regular __kernel_timespec type that is meant to be used in uapi definitions.

2026-02-03panic: add panic_force_cpu= parameter to redirect panic to a specific CPUPnina Feder
Some platforms require panic handling to execute on a specific CPU for crash dump to work reliably. This can be due to firmware limitations, interrupt routing constraints, or platform-specific requirements where only a single CPU is able to safely enter the crash kernel. Add the panic_force_cpu= kernel command-line parameter to redirect panic execution to a designated CPU. When the parameter is provided, the CPU that initially triggers panic forwards the panic context to the target CPU via IPI, which then proceeds with the normal panic and kexec flow. The IPI delivery is implemented as a weak function (panic_smp_redirect_cpu) so architectures with NMI support can override it for more reliable delivery. If the specified CPU is invalid, offline, or a panic is already in progress on another CPU, the redirection is skipped and panic continues on the current CPU.

2026-01-31ipc: don't audit capability check in ipc_permissions()Ondrej Mosnacek
The IPC sysctls implement the ctl_table_root::permissions hook and they override the file access mode based on the CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE capability, which is being checked regardless of whether any access is actually denied or not, so if an LSM denies the capability, an audit record may be logged even when access is in fact granted. It wouldn't be viable to restructure the sysctl permission logic to only check the capability when the access would be actually denied if it's not granted. Thus, do the same as in net_ctl_permissions() (net/sysctl_net.c) - switch from ns_capable() to ns_capable_noaudit(), so that the check never emits an audit record.

2026-01-31delayacct: add timestamp of delay maxWang Yaxin
Problem ======= Commit 658eb5ab916d ("delayacct: add delay max to record delay peak") introduced the delay max for getdelays, which records abnormal latency peaks and helps us understand the magnitude of such delays. However, the peak latency value alone is insufficient for effective root cause analysis. Without the precise timestamp of when the peak occurred, we still lack the critical context needed to correlate it with other system events. Solution ======== To address this, we need to additionally record a precise timestamp when the maximum latency occurs. By correlating this timestamp with system logs and monitoring metrics, we can identify processes with abnormal resource usage at the same moment, which can help us to pinpoint root causes. Use Case ======== bash-4.4# ./getdelays -d -t 227 print delayacct stats ON TGID 227 CPU count real total virtual total delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 46 188000000 192348334 4098012 0.089ms 0.429260ms 0.051205ms 2026-01-15T15:06:58 IO count delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms 0.000000ms N/A SWAP count delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms 0.000000ms N/A RECLAIM count delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms 0.000000ms N/A THRAS HING count delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms 0.000000ms N/A COMPACT count delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms 0.000000ms N/A WPCOPY count delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 182 19413338 0.107ms 0.547353ms 0.022462ms 2026-01-15T15:05:24 IRQ count delay total delay average delay max delay min delay max timestamp 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms 0.000000ms N/A Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260119100241520gWubW8-5QfhSf9gjqcc_E@zte.com.cn Signed-off-by: Wang Yaxin <wang.yaxin@zte.com.cn> Cc: Fan Yu <fan.yu9@zte.com.cn> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn> Cc: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

Tracing is a half of the kernel.h in terms of LOCs, although it's a self-consistent part. It is intended for quick debugging purposes and isn't used by the normal tracing utilities. Move it to a separate header. If someone needs to just throw a trace_printk() in their driver, they will not have to pull all the heavy tracing machinery. This is a pure move.

2026-01-31tracing: remove size parameter in __trace_puts()Steven Rostedt
The __trace_puts() function takes a string pointer and the size of the string itself. All users currently simply pass in the strlen() of the string it is also passing in. There's no reason to pass in the size. Instead have the __trace_puts() function do the strlen() within the function itself. This fixes a header recursion issue where using strlen() in the macro calling __trace_puts() requires adding #include <linux/string.h> in order to use strlen(). Removing the use of strlen() from the header fixes the recursion issue.

Patch series "kho: clean up page initialization logic", v2. This series simplifies the page initialization logic in kho_restore_page(). It was originally only a single patch [0], but on Pasha's suggestion, I added another patch to use unsigned long for nr_pages. Technically speaking, the patches aren't related and can be applied independently, but bundling them together since patch 2 relies on 1 and it is easier to manage them this way.

2026-01-26atomic: specify alignment for atomic_t and atomic64_tFinn Thain
Some recent commits incorrectly assumed 4-byte alignment of locks. That assumption fails on Linux/m68k (and, interestingly, would have failed on Linux/cris also). The jump label implementation makes a similar alignment assumption. The expectation that atomic_t and atomic64_t variables will be naturally aligned seems reasonable, as indeed they are on 64-bit architectures. But atomic64_t isn't naturally aligned on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc and sh. Neither atomic_t nor atomic64_t are naturally aligned on m68k. This patch brings a little uniformity by specifying natural alignment for atomic types. One benefit is that atomic64_t variables do not get split across a page boundary. The cost is that some structs grow which leads to cache misses and wasted memory. See also, commit bbf2a330d92c ("x86: atomic64: The atomic64_t data type should be 8 bytes aligned on 32-bit too").

2026-01-26bpf: explicitly align bpf_res_spin_lockFinn Thain
Patch series "Align atomic storage", v7. This series adds the __aligned attribute to atomic_t and atomic64_t definitions in include/linux and include/asm-generic (respectively) to get natural alignment of both types on csky, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc and sh. This series also adds Kconfig options to enable a new run-time warning to help reveal misaligned atomic accesses on platforms which don't trap that. The performance impact is expected to vary across platforms and workloads. The measurements I made on m68k show that some workloads run faster and others slower. This patch (of 4): Align bpf_res_spin_lock to avoid a BUILD_BUG_ON() when the alignment changes, as it will do on m68k when, in a subsequent patch, the minimum alignment of the atomic_t member of struct rqspinlock gets increased from 2 to 4. Drop the BUILD_BUG_ON() as it becomes redundant.

2026-01-26linux/log2.h: reduce instruction count for is_power_of_2()Maciej W. Rozycki
Follow an observation that (n ^ (n - 1)) will only ever retain the most significant bit set in the word operated on if that is the only bit set in the first place, and use it to determine whether a number is a whole power of 2, avoiding the need for an explicit check for nonzero. This reduces the sequence produced to 3 instructions only across Alpha, MIPS, and RISC-V targets, down from 4, 5, and 4 respectively, removing a branch in the two latter cases. And it's 5 instructions on POWER and x86-64 vs 8 and 9 respectively. There are no branches now emitted here for targets that have a suitable conditional set operation, although an inline expansion will often end with one, depending on what code a call to this function is used in. Credit goes to GCC authors for coming up with this optimisation used as the fallback for (__builtin_popcountl(n) == 1), equivalent to this code, for targets where the hardware population count operation is considered expensive.

2026-01-26kho: relocate vmalloc preservation structure to KHO ABI headerJason Miu
The `struct kho_vmalloc` defines the in-memory layout for preserving vmalloc regions across kexec. This layout is a contract between kernels and part of the KHO ABI. To reflect this relationship, the related structs and helper macros are relocated to the ABI header, `include/linux/kho/abi/kexec_handover.h`. This move places the structure's definition under the protection of the KHO_FDT_COMPATIBLE version string. The structure and its components are now also documented within the ABI header to describe the contract and prevent ABI breaks.

2026-01-26kho: introduce KHO FDT ABI headerJason Miu
Introduce the `include/linux/kho/abi/kexec_handover.h` header file, which defines the stable ABI for the KHO mechanism. This header specifies how preserved data is passed between kernels using an FDT. The ABI contract includes the FDT structure, node properties, and the "kho-v1" compatible string. By centralizing these definitions, this header serves as the foundational agreement for inter-kernel communication of preserved states, ensuring forward compatibility and preventing misinterpretation of data across kexec transitions. Since the ABI definitions are now centralized in the header files, the YAML files that previously described the FDT interfaces are redundant. These redundant files have therefore been removed.

2026-01-26mm/zone_device: reinitialize large zone device private foliosMatthew Brost
Reinitialize metadata for large zone device private folios in zone_device_page_init prior to creating a higher-order zone device private folio. This step is necessary when the folio's order changes dynamically between zone_device_page_init calls to avoid building a corrupt folio. As part of the metadata reinitialization, the dev_pagemap must be passed in from the caller because the pgmap stored in the folio page may have been overwritten with a compound head. Without this fix, individual pages could have invalid pgmap fields and flags (with PG_locked being notably problematic) due to prior different order allocations, which can, and will, result in kernel crashes.

Patch series "mm: memfd_luo hotfixes". This series contains a couple of fixes for memfd preservation using LUO. This patch (of 3): The Live Update Orchestrator's (LUO) memfd preservation works by preserving all the folios of a memfd, re-creating an empty memfd on the next boot, and then inserting back the preserved folios. Currently it creates the file by directly calling shmem_file_setup(). This leaves out other work done by alloc_file() like setting up the file mode, flags, or calling the security hooks. Export alloc_file() to let memfd_luo use it. Rename it to memfd_alloc_file() since it is no longer private and thus needs a subsystem prefix.

2026-01-20array_size.h: add ARRAY_END()Alejandro Colomar
Patch series "Add ARRAY_END(), and use it to fix off-by-one bugs", v6. Add ARRAY_END(), and use it to fix off-by-one bugs ARRAY_END() is a macro to calculate a pointer to one past the last element of an array argument. This is a very common pointer, which is used to iterate over all elements of an array: for (T *p = a; p < ARRAY_END(a); p++) ... Of course, this pointer should never be dereferenced. A pointer one past the last element of an array should not be dereferenced; it's perfectly fine to hold such a pointer --and a good thing to do--, but the only thing it should be used for is comparing it with other pointers derived from the same array. Due to how special these pointers are, it would be good to use consistent naming. It's common to name such a pointer 'end' --in fact, we have many such cases in the kernel--. C++ even standardized this name with std::end(). Let's try naming such pointers 'end', and try also avoid using 'end' for pointers that are not the result of ARRAY_END(). It has been incorrectly suggested that these pointers are dangerous, and that they should never be used, suggesting to use something like #define ARRAY_LAST(a) ((a) + ARRAY_SIZE(a) - 1) for (T *p = a; p <= ARRAY_LAST(a); p++) ... This is bogus, as it doesn't scale down to arrays of 0 elements. In the case of an array of 0 elements, ARRAY_LAST() would underflow the pointer, which not only it can't be dereferenced, it can't even be held (it produces Undefined Behavior). That would be a footgun. Such arrays don't exist per the ISO C standard; however, GCC supports them as an extension (with partial support, though; GCC has a few bugs which need to be fixed). This patch set fixes a few places where it was intended to use the array end (that is, one past the last element), but accidentally a pointer to the last element was used instead, thus wasting one byte. It also replaces other places where the array end was correctly calculated with ARRAY_SIZE(), by using the simpler ARRAY_END(). Also, there was one drivers/ file that already defined this macro. We remove that definition, to not conflict with this one. This patch (of 4): ARRAY_END() returns a pointer one past the end of the last element in the array argument. This pointer is useful for iterating over the elements of an array: for (T *p = a, p < ARRAY_END(a); p++) ...

2026-01-20mm: do not copy page tables unnecessarily for VM_UFFD_WPLorenzo Stoakes
Commit ab04b530e7e8 ("mm: introduce copy-on-fork VMAs and make VM_MAYBE_GUARD one") aggregates flags checks in vma_needs_copy(), including VM_UFFD_WP. However in doing so, it incorrectly performed this check against src_vma. This check was done on the assumption that all relevant flags are copied upon fork. However the userfaultfd logic is very innovative in that it implements custom logic on fork in dup_userfaultfd(), including a rather well hidden case where lacking UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK causes VM_UFFD_WP to not be propagated to the destination VMA. And indeed, vma_needs_copy(), prior to this patch, did check this property on dst_vma, not src_vma. Since all the other relevant flags are copied on fork, we can simply fix this by checking against dst_vma. While we're here, we fix a comment against VM_COPY_ON_FORK (noting that it did indeed already reference dst_vma) to make it abundantly clear that we must check against the destination VMA.

2026-01-20mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using ↵David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)
mmu_gather As reported, ever since commit 1013af4f585f ("mm/hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race") we can end up in some situations where we perform so many IPI broadcasts when unsharing hugetlb PMD page tables that it severely regresses some workloads. In particular, when we fork()+exit(), or when we munmap() a large area backed by many shared PMD tables, we perform one IPI broadcast per unshared PMD table. There are two optimizations to be had: (1) When we process (unshare) multiple such PMD tables, such as during exit(), it is sufficient to send a single IPI broadcast (as long as we respect locking rules) instead of one per PMD table. Locking prevents that any of these PMD tables could get reused before we drop the lock. (2) When we are not the last sharer (> 2 users including us), there is no need to send the IPI broadcast. The shared PMD tables cannot become exclusive (fully unshared) before an IPI will be broadcasted by the last sharer. Concurrent GUP-fast could walk into a PMD table just before we unshared it. It could then succeed in grabbing a page from the shared page table even after munmap() etc succeeded (and supressed an IPI). But there is not difference compared to GUP-fast just sleeping for a while after grabbing the page and re-enabling IRQs. Most importantly, GUP-fast will never walk into page tables that are no-longer shared, because the last sharer will issue an IPI broadcast. (if ever required, checking whether the PUD changed in GUP-fast after grabbing the page like we do in the PTE case could handle this) So let's rework PMD sharing TLB flushing + IPI sync to use the mmu_gather infrastructure so we can implement these optimizations and demystify the code at least a bit. Extend the mmu_gather infrastructure to be able to deal with our special hugetlb PMD table sharing implementation. To make initialization of the mmu_gather easier when working on a single VMA (in particular, when dealing with hugetlb), provide tlb_gather_mmu_vma(). We'll consolidate the handling for (full) unsharing of PMD tables in tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() and tlb_flush_unshared_tables(), and track in "struct mmu_gather" whether we had (full) unsharing of PMD tables. Because locking is very special (concurrent unsharing+reuse must be prevented), we disallow deferring flushing to tlb_finish_mmu() and instead require an explicit earlier call to tlb_flush_unshared_tables(). From hugetlb code, we call huge_pmd_unshare_flush() where we make sure that the expected lock protecting us from concurrent unsharing+reuse is still held. Check with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in tlb_finish_mmu() that tlb_flush_unshared_tables() was properly called earlier. Document it all properly. Notes about tlb_remove_table_sync_one() interaction with unsharing: There are two fairly tricky things: (1) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is a NOP on architectures without CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Here, the assumption is that the previous TLB flush would send an IPI to all relevant CPUs. Careful: some architectures like x86 only send IPIs to all relevant CPUs when tlb->freed_tables is set. The relevant architectures should be selecting MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, but x86 might not do that in stable kernels and it might have been problematic before this patch. Also, the arch flushing behavior (independent of IPIs) is different when tlb->freed_tables is set. Do we have to enlighten them to also take care of tlb->unshared_tables? So far we didn't care, so hopefully we are fine. Of course, we could be setting tlb->freed_tables as well, but that might then unnecessarily flush too much, because the semantics of tlb->freed_tables are a bit fuzzy. This patch changes nothing in this regard. (2) tlb_remove_table_sync_one() is not a NOP on architectures with CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE that actually don't need a sync. Take x86 as an example: in the common case (!pv, !X86_FEATURE_INVLPGB) we still issue IPIs during TLB flushes and don't actually need the second tlb_remove_table_sync_one(). This optimized can be implemented on top of this, by checking e.g., in tlb_remove_table_sync_one() whether we really need IPIs. But as described in (1), it really must honor tlb->freed_tables then to send IPIs to all relevant CPUs. Notes on TLB flushing changes: (1) Flushing for non-shared PMD tables We're converting from flush_hugetlb_tlb_range() to tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry(). Given that we properly initialize the MMU gather in tlb_gather_mmu_vma() to be hugetlb aware, similar to __unmap_hugepage_range(), that should be fine. (2) Flushing for shared PMD tables We're converting from various things (flush_hugetlb_tlb_range(), tlb_flush_pmd_range(), flush_tlb_range()) to tlb_flush_pmd_range(). tlb_flush_pmd_range() achieves the same that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() would achieve in these scenarios. Note that tlb_remove_huge_tlb_entry() also calls __tlb_remove_tlb_entry(), however that is only implemented on powerpc, which does not support PMD table sharing. Similar to (1), tlb_gather_mmu_vma() should make sure that TLB flushing keeps on working as expected. Further, note that the ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() in huge_pmd_share() is not a concern, as we are holding the i_mmap_lock the whole time, preventing concurrent unsharing. That ptdesc_pmd_pts_dec() usage will be removed separately as a cleanup later. There are plenty more cleanups to be had, but they have to wait until this is fixed.

2026-01-20mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb_pmd_shared()David Hildenbrand (Red Hat)
Patch series "mm/hugetlb: fixes for PMD table sharing (incl. using mmu_gather)", v3. 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 #1 and #4. Patch #1 fixes hugetlb_pmd_shared() not detecting any sharing Patch #2 + #3 are simple comment fixes that patch #4 interacts with. Patch #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 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. Runtime tested, with a focus on fixing the performance regression using the original reproducer [2] on x86. 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().

2026-01-19fs/writeback: skip AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mappings in wait_sb_inodes()Joanne Koong
Above the while() loop in wait_sb_inodes(), we document that we must wait for all pages under writeback for data integrity. Consequently, if a mapping, like fuse, traditionally does not have data integrity semantics, there is no need to wait at all; we can simply skip these inodes. This restores fuse back to prior behavior where syncs are no-ops. This fixes a user regression where if a system is running a faulty fuse server that does not reply to issued write requests, this causes wait_sb_inodes() to wait forever.

2026-01-19mm: take into account mm_cid size for mm_struct static definitionsMathieu Desnoyers
Both init_mm and efi_mm static definitions need to make room for the 2 mm_cid cpumasks. This fixes possible out-of-bounds accesses to init_mm and efi_mm. Add a space between # and define for the mm_alloc_cid() definition to make it consistent with the coding style used in the rest of this header file.

2026-01-19mm: rename cpu_bitmap field to flexible_arrayMathieu Desnoyers
The cpu_bitmap flexible array now contains more than just the cpu_bitmap. In preparation for changing the static mm_struct definitions to cover for the additional space required, change the cpu_bitmap type from "unsigned long" to "char", require an unsigned long alignment of the flexible array, and rename the field from "cpu_bitmap" to "flexible_array". Introduce the MM_STRUCT_FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_INIT macro to statically initialize the flexible array. This covers the init_mm and efi_mm static definitions. This is a preparation step for fixing the missing mm_cid size for static mm_struct definitions.
