git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - writeback: - Update dirtied_when instead of dirtied_time_when when a wb switch puts an inode at the newest end of the target b_dirty list. The list was left out of order so move_expired_inodes() could stop before older inodes, and the lazytime expiration timestamp was reset - Clear the old wb's dirty-I/O state and bandwidth contribution when a batch of inode switches leaves its dirty lists empty. An empty wb stayed scheduled for periodic writeback and inflated bdi->tot_write_bandwidth - Take wb_switch_rwsem across the inode scan of cleanup_offline_cgwb(). The v7.3-rc5 fix that rotates scanned inodes let a scan racing a sync()'s queue_io() move lazytime inodes past the sync's cutoff, so sync() returned without persisting their timestamps - Don't kick writeback for an IOCB_DONTCACHE write on an inode that has no wb yet. With cgroup writeback an O_DIRECT RWF_DONTCACHE write to a block device dereferenced NULL - statmount/listmount/listns: - Refuse statmount() string requests with a buffer that isn't larger than struct statmount - Don't wrap around with a U64_MAX cursor in listmount() and listns() - Don't end listns() at an inactive namespace - Only add init_ipc_ns and init_net to the namespace trees if CONFIG_IPC_NS and CONFIG_NET_NS are enabled - iomap: - Only mark blocks uptodate in __iomap_write_begin() after reading them and let __iomap_write_end() mark the zeroed blocks uptodate once the copy from userspace succeeded - Check a chunk against max_integrity_io_size() on its own before the bio size check - Only enforce block alignment for direct I/O into holes and unwritten extents if IOMAP_DIO_FSBLOCK_ALIGNED is set - backing-file: - Check S_APPEND and S_IMMUTABLE on the backing inode. FUSE passthrough opens the backing file with vfs_open() which skips may_open(), so anyone who may open the FUSE file for writing could overwrite an append-only backing file anywhere or write to an immutable one. Open, mmap and writes now check the backing inode the way may_open() and do_mmap() do - Always call kiocb_end_write() for a queued write - Let backing files inherit FMODE_NONOTIFY from the user file. The event fds fanotify creates for permission events on a stacked filesystem raised FS_OPEN_PERM on the real path from inside the listener's read() and deadlocked listeners with marks on both layers - pidfs: - Look the task up before checking for exit information in PIDFD_GET_INFO and start over if the task no longer owns the pid once all fields have been read. A caller racing release_task() got neither PIDFD_INFO_PID nor PIDFD_INFO_EXIT or ESRCH although the exit information was available, and a caller racing a sub-thread's exec reported that thread's tid as the pid - Clear the mask bits of fields that lie beyond the struct size the caller passed. The uapi header promises that the mask names no such field but a caller passing PIDFD_INFO_SIZE_VER0 got the coredump and supported mask bits set for fields that were never written - aio: - Give the aio ring a ->read_folio that fails with EIO so a fault on a ring whose file was truncated gets SIGBUS instead of jumping to NULL - Check nr_events against the ring size before doubling it in ioctx_alloc() - splice: - Only write back an implicit file position in do_splice() when the splice helper succeeded. splice doesn't take f_pos_lock so a failed splice restored a stale snapshot over a position that a concurrent getdents() had moved. On ext2 the next readdir then trusted an offset inside a directory entry - Retry tee() when the input pipe was emptied or the output pipe filled between the prep steps and link_pipe() instead of returning 0 while the input pipe still has writers, as splice_pipe_to_pipe() does - ucount: - Take the reference that pins a ucounts level on the 0 -> 1 transition before checking the rlimit - Read the parent ucounts before dropping the rlimit count in do_dec_rlimit_put_ucounts() - inode: - Rotate inodes whose page cache couldn't be dropped to the tail of the LRU - Skip inodes that another LRU walker is isolating - setns: - Set nsset->flags before anything in prepare_nsset() can fail so the error path drops the cred prepared for CLONE_NEWUSER. A failing setns() with CLONE_NEWUSER and CLONE_NEWNS leaked it together with its user namespace - Refuse setns(CLONE_NEWNS) for a task that shares its fs_struct again when more namespaces are requested - minix: - Restore uptodate on the pinned bitmap buffers before redirtying them after a failed writeback instead of tripping the warning in mark_buffer_dirty(), as ext2 and ext4 do for their superblock buffers - Reject rmdir() of a directory with a corrupted link count with EFSCORRUPTED instead of hitting the drop_nlink() warning - userns: Keep the exec securebits and their locks when creating or joining a user namespace. set_cred_user_ns() reset all securebits to SECUREBITS_DEFAULT so anyone who may create a user namespace could shed SECBIT_EXEC_RESTRICT_FILE and SECBIT_EXEC_DENY_INTERACTIVE with a single unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) - fs: Honor FOP_UNSIGNED_OFFSET in sys_llseek() and in the pread64(), pwrite64(), preadv() and pwritev() wrappers - proc/kcore: Advance the vmalloc retry in read_kcore_iter() by the last vread_iter() copy instead of the running total - eventpoll: Return the error when the wakeup source for EPOLLWAKEUP can't be created in EPOLL_CTL_MOD instead of reporting success without suspend protection - coredump: Mark do_coredump() noinline_for_stack - nsfs: Check the trailing bytes of a namespace file handle in bytes instead of words - netfs: Restore the per-level and per-point decoding of the debug mask - exportfs: Release the directory file get_name() opened with __fput_sync(). From nfsd's kernel threads the deferred fputs arrived faster than delayed_fput retired them and each pinned the directory's readdir state, growing unreclaimable slab by about 90 MB per second under a parallel tree walk - fs: Call ramfs_kill_sb() for a ramfs rootfs. Since rootfs can be unmounted as of v7.0 its struct ramfs_fs_info was leaked - signal: Check the blocked mask for every entry dequeue_synchronous_signal() looks at. The scan could select a blocked synchronous signal and deliver it while blocked - super: Convert the superblock device table from an rhltable to a plain hashtable under a spinlock. This fixes a bug from v7.3 where fs_bdev_freeze() froze a btrfs filesystem through a stale member that open_ctree() had already released while the freeze was waiting for SB_BORN - fork: Leave rcu_users at zero until copy_process() can't fail anymore. bpf_task_acquire() handed out trusted references to the new task from the task_alloc LSM hook and sched_ext's ops.init_task() and a failing fork freed the task behind them - xattr: Always run cap_convert_nscap() for a security.capability write. A zero-length setxattr() skipped it and let an unprivileged caller without CAP_SETFCAP or write permission on the file plant an empty security.capability xattr that made every execve() of the binary fail with EINVAL - namei: Skip the S_ISDIR assertion in - proc: Refuse to mount on entries below /proc/<pid>/net like fd/, fdinfo/ and map_files/. proc_net_d_revalidate() always fails so the first lookup by anyone with search permission ran d_invalidate() on the dentry and detached every mount on it, locked mounts included - libfs: Hold one mount reference for all pins instead of one per pin. The pin count is what keeps the mount alive, so the per-pin reference only cost a mntget() and a mntput() through mntput_no_expire_slowpath() for every debugfs, tracefs, securityfs or configfs file that comes and goes - iov_iter: Return 0 from iov_iter_alignment() for an empty iterator of any type - watch_queue: Give info_id its own storage instead of overlaying it with rcu_head - filelock: Take an active superblock reference while waiting for a delegation break. After a lazy umount closing the delegation holder could shut down the superblock under the waiter whose final iput() then ran shmem_evict_inode() on freed state - fs: Skip the copy_file_range() write limit checks when there is no data to copy - bpf: Allow bpf_d_path() from fentry on filp_close_sync(). Since close_range() became synchronous this cycle close(), close_range() and the closes on exec and exit no longer go through filp_close(). fexit stays rejected since the file may be gone by then - fs_pin: Dequeue the wait entry unconditionally in pin_kill(). A spuriously woken waiter kept its on-stack entry queued, took that as proof that the pin was alive and used the freed acct structure when umount() of the accounting file raced acct(2) - dcache: Don't fail __d_obtain_alias() for an inode without links and aliases. The ESTALE check added this cycle broke open_by_handle_at() and nfsd file handle decoding on NFS and FUSE where i_nlink is just what the server last reported and the handle may well still be valid - selftests/ovl: Fix the mountinfo expectations of the detached layer test which has failed since it was added * tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (60 commits) fs: don't fail __d_obtain_alias() for unlinked inodes ns: don't add init_ipc_ns and init_net without namespace support aio: avoid request count overflow in ioctx_alloc() selftests/ovl: fix detached layer mountinfo expectations bpf: Allow bpf_d_path() from filp_close_sync() fs: skip copy_file_range write limits when there is no data minix: reject rmdir of a directory with a corrupted link count fs_pin: do not trust the pin after a spurious wakeup in pin_kill() ucount: read the parent ucounts before dropping the rlimit count splice: retry tee() instead of returning 0 when it races selftests/pidfd: test that fields beyond the struct size are not reported pidfs: do not report fields that do not fit into the caller's struct fs: let backing files inherit FMODE_NONOTIFY from the user file splice: avoid stale f_pos writeback on error backing-file: always end a queued write filelock: keep superblock active through delegation wait watch_queue: keep info_id separate from rcu_head iomap: only follow dio alignment requirement if specified iov_iter: fix NULL deref in iov_iter_alignment() backing-file: enforce append-only and immutable backing inodes ...

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "Jeff Layton extended the netlink listener-set operation so that a management daemon can register NFSD's programs with rpcbind itself. This prevents an unresponsive rpcbind from stalling NFSD administration for a minute at a time. Bulk delegation recall now adjusts the number of delegations it wants returned, based on memory pressure. The previous mechanism was spec-conformant, but it requested all delegations to be returned at once. Clients are free to return few or none in such cases, but requesting smaller batches of delegations is more neighborly. In preparation for handling TLS KeyUpdate, the server's TCP receive path has been reworked to handle control records. In the process, the use of sock_recvmsg was replaced with ->read_sock, which contends less with other holders of the socket lock. NFSv2 XDR code is now generated by xdrgen, which mechanically generates the encoders and decoders from the RPC language specification for the protocol. Replacing hand-built XDR code makes prototyping new protocol elements faster, reduces errors, and improves memory safety. Replacement of XDR code for newer NFS versions will continue in subsequent releases of NFSD. The remaining bulk of changes in v7.4 is bug fixes, clean-ups, and small optimizations.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Fixes: - aio: a keyed poll completion on an epoll instance could recurse into the same epoll waitqueue lock when the result eventfd is watched by that very instance. An unprivileged process could make a CPU spin on the recursive lock. eventfd-backed poll completions are always deferred now. - fsnotify_inoderemove() is only called once the inode is really dead, no nlink and no aliases, and open_by_handle_at() can't add an alias to a dead inode anymore. The race could crash fsnotify or lose inode mark notifications. - devtmpfs: the conversion of the public instance to ->get_tree() broke reconfiguring the shared superblock's options on later mounts which made the boot time defaults permanent. A reconfigure context is kept in fc->fs_private so the parse ops can forward options to the underlying filesystem. - ufs truncated the 64-bit directory size to an unsigned int in ufs_last_byte(). A crafted image with a 4 GiB directory produced an out-of-folio read in ufs_find_entry() and, with CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE, a write into an adjacent page. - devpts rejects max=0 instead of silently lifting the per-instance pty limit. The value wrapped into ida_alloc_max() and became unlimited. - fs_pin publishes pins with the rcu list helpers so the kill paths reading the lists under rcu see the initialization. - dentry_kill() reports a Tasks-RCU quiescent state. Its cond_resched() is the only reschedule point on the dentry teardown path and cond_resched() isn't a quiescent state for Tasks-RCU, so Meta kept seeing rcu_tasks stalls in btrfs subvolume deletion. - writeback sizes foreign flushes by the target wb's dirty pages instead of the memcg-wide count which over or undersized a single bdi flush. - nfsd READ emitted two fsnotify access events on the iterator path since vfs_iocb_iter_read() already sends one. A READ on a krb5i or krb5p mount showed up twice in inotify. - pipe and splice pass a poll key when waking readers and writers so epoll, poll() and select() waiters only wake for the event they asked for. - the iso8859-14 Unicode to charset tables had page01 duplicated as page1e so 29 code points mapped to the wrong bytes and 22 that aren't in the charset were accepted. - orangefs doesn't wait for an unmount service operation that never returns on system shutdown and uses ssize_t for strscpy() errors. - __register_chrdev() checks the kobject_set_name() return value. - selftest fixes: the openat2 tests hardcoded O_LARGEFILE to 0x8000 which is O_NOFOLLOW on powerpc, resolve_test makes /tmp a mountpoint so RESOLVE_NO_XDEV has a boundary to trip over, file_stressor moves into its own directory with a 30 minute timeout, the kernfs listxattr test skips when SELinux exposes security.selinux, the namespaces active reference tests wait for the thread via a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd since pthread_join() returns before exit_nsproxy_namespaces(), the idmapped_tmpfile test chowns its directory into the mapped range, the clone3 CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND test adds CLONE_VM so it fails for the intended reason, the pidfd PPID error message prints the values it compares and fscontext_ns gets a .gitignore. Cleanups: - vmcore prints the release of the crashed kernel from the VMCOREINFO note so a kdump that dies before the dump lands still says which kernel it was for. - initramfs allocates hardlink hash entries with the validated cpio name length instead of PATH_MAX, which put every entry in kmalloc-8k. - the unused dax_layout_busy_page() is removed, dax_layout_busy_page_range() becomes static and dax_folio_init() drops a redundant list initialization. - vfs_empty_path() is removed, it has had no callers since getname_maybe_null(). - comment and documentation fixes in aio, bpf_fs_kfuncs, fs-writeback, inode, read_write, squashfs and the vfs.rst copy of struct file_system_type" * tag 'vfs-7.4-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (38 commits) selftests/filesystems: Fix idmapped_tmpfile layer dir ownership selftests/namespaces: Wait for thread exit via pidfd in active-ref tests writeback: size foreign flushes by target wb dirty pages initramfs: Reduce hardlink hash allocation sizes fs: remove unused vfs_empty_path() dcache: report a Tasks-RCU quiescent state in dentry_kill() vmcore: report the release of the crashed kernel splice: pass a poll key when waking pipe readers and writers pipe: pass a poll key when waking writers after a resize orangefs: use ssize_t instead of size_t for error codes... orangefs_super: don't wait on service operation on system shutdown. docs/vfs: Fix the struct file_system_type copy nls: fix the Unicode to charset tables of iso8859-14 selftests/filesystems/openat2: make /tmp a mountpoint inside private namespace selftests/filesystems/openat2: fix O_LARGEFILE definitions for non-arm64 architectures fs: fix misleading comments in read_write.c squashfs: fix inode number description in documentation fs: fix typos in comments fs/dax: Make dax_layout_busy_page_range() static fs/dax: Remove unused dax_layout_busy_page() ...

2026-10-15selftests: optionally record per-suite build and install resultsSasha Levin
By default the selftests build and installation succeed as long as one target succeeds, so that a single broken suite does not cost CI systems the coverage of all others; commit cad6f32665cb ("selftests: Deescalate error reporting") restored that policy after it had been tightened. The exit status of make therefore cannot tell which suites failed, and inspecting the installation is not reliable either: a suite whose compilation failed can still install its scripts. Add an opt-in report. When KSFT_BUILD_REPORT names an absolute file, the all and install rules append one tab-separated record per target with the phase, the target name and the exit status of its recursive make. Generating the runlist is recorded as part of the install phase. The records are written without changing which targets are built or installed or the exit status of make, also with FORCE_TARGETS. Nothing is recorded by make -n, -t or -q, including when the selftests are built through the kernel's kselftest targets, which clear MAKEFLAGS. The recording helper lives in a small fragment so that suites built from subdirectories can add records for them, and the variable is exported to sub-makes. A relative path is rejected, since every recursive make runs in a different directory. Keep the exit status of the runlist generation loop as before, and create an empty runlist for installations in which no target emits tests. Document the format, version 1, and how to read it.

2026-10-15selftests: keep the build status from wrapping to successSasha Levin
The top-level all and install rules return failure only when every selected target fails, which commit cad6f32665cb ("selftests: Deescalate error reporting") deliberately kept as the default. They implement this by multiplying the exit statuses of the targets: ret=$$((ret * $$?)) A failing recursive make exits with status 2, so eight failing targets produce 256, and "exit 256" reports success. Building eight or more targets that all fail therefore succeeds, and install goes on to package an empty installation. Record a successful target instead of multiplying statuses. The rules still fail only when no target succeeds, and FORCE_TARGETS still stops at the first failure.

2026-10-04selftests/nfsd: exercise listener_set request validationJeff Layton
Add regression tests for the NFSD_CMD_LISTENER_SET checks that nfsd_nl_validate_listeners() runs before the code takes nfsd_mutex. The tests cover a bad transport name, an absent transport name, a missing address, a truncated or unsupported sockaddr, a bad address family, a malformed entry behind a well-formed one, and more than NFSD_NL_LISTENER_MAX entries. One more test sends a LISTENER_GET to an empty netns. None of these requests reach nfsd_create_serv(), so nothing here creates a serv or registers with rpcbind. The tests that do need a serv come next, with a stub. The tests use kselftest_harness.h, so each test runs in its own net and mount namespace. /run is masked there. unix_find_bsd() resolves by inode and takes no struct net, so a connect to "/var/run/rpcbind.sock" from this netns would otherwise reach the rpcbind on the host. svc_rpcb_setup() opens with a call to svc_unregister(), which would then clear the host's nfsd registrations. The config fragment must therefore cover the fixture as well as nfsd: NAMESPACES and NET_NS for the unshare(), SHMEM and TMPFS for the mask, and UNIX for the AF_LOCAL rpcbind client. Without them, every test skips. Add the new directory to the NFSD MAINTAINERS entry, which does not cover tools/testing/selftests/ today.

filesystems/eventfd, filesystems/open_tree_ns and filesystems/xattr were never added to TARGETS when introduced. filesystems/openat2 was moved from selftests/openat2/ but the TARGETS entry was never updated, leaving a stale entry pointing at a directory that no longer exists. Fix this by adding the four missing subdirectories to TARGETS and removing the stale openat2 entry.

2026-08-31selftests/filesystems: Move file_stressor to dedicated subdirectoryDisha Goel
The file_stressor test requires a 30-minute timeout (1800 seconds) due to its 15-minute runtime plus setup/teardown overhead. This is significantly longer than the default 45-second timeout used by other filesystem tests. Move file_stressor into its own subdirectory (filesystems/file_stressor/) with a dedicated settings file to isolate its timeout configuration. This prevents the long timeout from affecting other fast-running tests in the filesystems/ directory. This restructuring follows the pattern used by other selftests with special requirements and ensures proper timeout handling in CI/CD environments while maintaining the default 45-second timeout for other filesystem tests.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull more MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "mm/rmap: index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by anonymous pgoff" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Index MAP_PRIVATE file-backed folios by their anonymous page offset to resolve confusion around reverse mapping for zeroed and CoW'd file-backed memory. Use this new VMA anonymous page offset tracking to eliminate index conflicts and lay the foundation for scalable CoW performance improvements. - "promote mapped executable folios after first usage for MGLRU" (Baolin Wang) Make MGLRU's protection of mapped executable file folios more reliable. Follow the classical LRU's logic, promoting mapped executable file folios after their first usage to give executable code a better chance to stay in memory and improve workload performance. - "mm: vmscan: fix node reclaim ignoring swappiness parameter" (Ridong Chen) Fix per-node proactive reclaim interface's ignoring the swappiness parameter when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled by consolidating sc_swappiness() into a single function that checks proactive_swappiness regardless of kernel configuration. - "mm/vmscan: reduce lru_lock contention via vmstat-derived scan-balance cost" (Usama Arif) Reduce lru_lock contention in the reclaim path by deriving scan-balance costs from vmstat counters rather than lock-acquired producer updates. Read and decay these cost signals on the reclaim side under a dedicated per-lruvec lock, reducing total LRU lock wait time by over 60% without impacting scan throughput. - "zram: fix zram issues reported by sashiko" (Sergey Senozhatsky) Fix two low-risk zram bugs which Sashiko spotted in drive-by review. - "Honor XA_FLAGS_ACCOUNT in xas_split_alloc() and charge to folio's memcg" (Zi Yan) Fix xas_split_alloc() by enabling target folio memcg charging during splits and adding the missing __GFP_ACCOUNT flag for proper XArray node memory accounting. - "selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore" (Pratyush Mallick) Replace hardcoded binary names in selftests/mm/.gitignore with a generic pattern-matching rule to automatically ignore generated test files and avoid manual updates when adding new tests. - "mm/page_ext: remove pgdat_page_ext_init()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Make the incompatibility between FLATMEM and NUMA explicit in mm/Kconfig and remove the unused pgdat_page_ext_init() function. - "zram: fix zstd error paths and add parameter validation" (Haoqin Huang) Clean up zram compression backends by removing redundant error cleanup, adding parameter and dictionary validation, auto-prefixing algorithm error logs, and resetting parameters prior to reinitialization. - "zram: fix stale scan bounds after reinitialization" (Longlong Xia) Prevent out-of-bounds slot accesses during concurrent zram resets by moving table scan bound calculations under dev_lock in writeback_store() and read_block_state(). - "add anon mTHP collapse test cases" (Baolin Wang) Extend selftests helper functions to support arbitrary page orders and add new test cases and options for mTHP collapse in khugepaged. - "selftests/mm: Handle unsupported and transient test conditions" (Muhammad Usama Anjum) Update MM selftests to report a SKIP status instead of a failure when required kernel or filesystem features are unsupported, while adding retry logic for transient page migration errors. - "mm/zswap: Fixes and improves the zswap shrink" (Hao Jia) Fix the missing zswap global shrinker when CONFIG_MEMCG is disabled and extend shrink_memcg() to support batch writeback for improved writeback efficiency. - "alloc_tag: introduce IOCTL-based filtering for MAP" (Suren Baghdasaryan) Introduce an IOCTL-based binary interface for memory allocation profiling that enables kernel-side filtering before per-CPU counter aggregation. This eliminates the text-parsing overhead of /proc/allocinfo and provides up to a 20x speedup by transferring only filtered allocation data to userspace. - "better block swap batching and a different take on swap_ops v5" (Christoph Hellwig) Refactor block swap I/O to use swap_iocb for batching instead of single-bio requests and rebase the swap_ops interface, achieving faster swap throughput during kernel builds. - "mm: kmemleak: reduce transient false positives by confirming leaks" (Catalin Marinas) Reduce false-positive kmemleak reports by combining two kmemleak enhancements that add a second confirmation scan and a configurable minimum unreferenced scan count module parameter. - "mm: kmemleak: default min_unref_scans to 2 for verbose kernels" (Breno Leitao) Auto-scanning kernels can generate false-positive memory leak reports on single scans, so this patch defaults min_unref_scans to 2 when CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_VERBOSE is enabled to require a second confirming scan. - "swap_ops updates" (Christoph Hellwig) Batching I/O for synchronous swap devices causes performance regressions and filesystem-based swap suffers from double-indirection overhead. This series resolves both issues by reintroducing per-folio writes for synchronous swap and allowing filesystems to directly export their own swap_ops. - "mm/khugepaged: several cleanups" (Nico Pache) khugepaged accumulated redundant state-checking patterns and outdated comments following mTHP integration. Introduce dedicated helpers for PTE validation and event counting while refreshing the internal documentation. - "maple_tree: lock checking and clean ups" (Liam Howlett) Syzbot reports incorrectly blame memory management exit paths for locking bugs, maple tree erase operations risk allocation failures without gfp flags and internal documentation lacks clarity.

2026-08-24kselftest: alloc_tag: add kselftest for ioctl interfaceAbhishek Bapat
Introduce a kselftest to verify the new IOCTL-based interface for /proc/allocinfo. The test covers: 1. Validation of the filename filter. 2. Validation of the function filter. The first test validates the functionality of the filename filter. Using "mm/memory.c" as the candidate filename filter, it retrieves filtered entries from both procfs and ioctl and matches the first VEC_MAX_ENTRIES entries. The second test validates the functionality of the function filter. It uses "dup_mm" as the candidate function as we do not expect this function name to change frequently and hence won't be needing to modify this test often. Note that both the tests match line no, function name and file name fields. Bytes allocated and calls are not matched as those values may change in the time when the data is being read from procfs and ioctl and hence can lead to false negatives.

These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Bigger cleanups: - The lockref dead-count handling is tidied up. The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker relies on information the caller should not have. - make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be used to peek under it. Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that. But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected. Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents that bug. - vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it. This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory was created whereas every other creation operation passed it explicitly already. - move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq. None of that work relies on per-cpu state and the work item is enqueued with queue_delayed_work() whose timer is global anyway. So it may as well benefit from scheduler task placement. Smaller fixes and cleanups: - unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() use clear_and_wake_up_bit() - the pipe page pools are unified into a single per-pipe pool and the extra wake_up(rd_wait) is limited to EPOLLET consumers - eventpoll now computes its timer slack lazily in ep_poll() - shrink_dcache_for_umount() keeps making progress on busy roots - excess xarray nodes are freed in clear_inode() - romfs detects hard link cycles - the user path of nested backing files is fixed - pidfd holds exec_update_lock around the namespace ioctl - non-memcg-aware nr_cached_objects is skipped during memcg slab shrink - iomap_write_iter() always returns status - mangle_path() is renamed to seq_mangle_path() - inode timestamp accessors are annotated - new regression test for pipe->poll_usage. - a few documentation, kernel-doc and selftest fixes" * tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (67 commits) selftests/namespaces: Fix racy pipe handshake in timens and pidns_separate selftests/epoll: add a regression test for pipe->poll_usage pipe: only enable the extra wake_up(rd_wait) for EPOLLET consumers pidfd: hold exec_update_lock around namespace ioctl fs: fix user path of nested backing files fs: remove stale inode_insert5() kernel-doc parameter fs: fix switch/case indentation in sysfs() syscall fs: document semantics of kstat::{uid,gid} fields dcache: keep shrink_dcache_for_umount() making progress on busy roots seq_file: rename mangle_path to seq_mangle_path nstree: add/fix struct ns_id_req kernel-doc member fields dcache: use lockref routines for dead count checks lockref: tidy up dead count handling initramfs: fix typo in reserve_initrd_mem comment fs/pipe: unify the page pools into a single per-pipe pool fs: annotate inode timestamp accessors eventpoll: compute timer slack lazily in ep_poll() selftests/filesystems: add mntns cleanup test put_mnt_ns(): leave mounts connected affs: Move long delayed work on system_dfl_long_wq ...

This allows userspace to shed their filesystem state completely. A process with its root or working directory in failfs must anchor every path lookup at an explicit file descriptor. Absolute paths, absolute symlinks and AT_FDCWD-relative lookups simply fail. Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently empty, immutable directory whose lookups fail with ENOENT but which can be opened, read, stat'd and mounted upon. Failfs on the other hand fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single instance is mounted during early boot via kern_mount(), which makes it logically distinct from every mount namespace. This is accompanied by a new fchroot() system call which makes chrooting via a file descriptor a first class concept.

2026-08-10selftests/filesystems: test completing a context from another user namespaceChristian Brauner
fsopen() records the caller's user namespace in fc->user_ns and hands back an ordinary file descriptor, so the task that issues FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE need not be the one that created the context. mount_capable() authorizes that for a caller holding CAP_SYS_ADMIN in an ancestor of fc->user_ns, which any unprivileged user has over a user namespace it just created. binfmt_misc and overlayfs used to WARN_ON() the mismatch. Add a test for both. Also cover the handover within one user namespace. That is a supported thing to do and has to keep working.

2026-08-06selftests/dax: add dax/kmem hotplug sysfs regression testGregory Price
Add a kselftest for the dax/kmem whole-device "state" sysfs attribute (/sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/state), which transitions a kmem-backed dax device between "unplugged", "online" and "online_movable". The kselftest also includes a test to demonstrate the force-unbind does not deadlock - but this is destructive (the dax device can never be rebound), so it only runs when DAX_KMEM_TEST_UNBIND=1 is set. Provisioning a devdax device and binding it to kmem needs daxctl/ndctl out of scope for an in-tree selftest. As the test mutates a device's memory, the operator opts in by naming it in DAX_KMEM_TEST_DEV (or "auto" to pick the first kmem-bound device); it SKIPs when unset, when no device is present, or when the memory cannot be freed to a baseline. When a device is available it validates the interface contract: - online / online_movable actually add memory (MemTotal grows), - online is idempotent, - switching between online types without unplug is rejected, - unplug removes memory and the reported state is "unplugged" - invalid input is rejected, - unplug and unbind tolerate blocks toggled out-of-band through the per-block memoryX/state interface. One specific regression test: online -> unplug -> online_movable -> unplug Re-online must re-reserve per-range resources so subsequent unplug actually offlines and removes instead of silently reporting success while the memory stays online.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the lock in anon_pipe_write(). anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves 21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to selftests. - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr() helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC). - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program that was merged into systemd. - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio conversions and iomap migration. Fixes: - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo() callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning. - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs, qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them; the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the minix v3 block size fails. - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API. - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg() from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID path. - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT. - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns() where the tests should SKIP. - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n. - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state. - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in validate_coredump_safety(). - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in __iomap_write_begin(). - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc. Cleanups: - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin() instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x prefixes. - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc() across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2, isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page allocator calls with kmalloc(). - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence. - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path() into start_removing_path(). - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(). - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for the O_ flags.

2026-05-28selftests/pipe: add pipe_bench microbenchmarkBreno Leitao
Add a small selftest that stresses pipe->mutex contention by spawning N writer threads that hammer a single pipe with multi-page writes, plus M reader threads that drain. Each writer records its own write() latency samples into a log2-bucketed histogram; main aggregates and prints total writes, throughput, average and percentile (p50/p99) latencies, and the maximum observed latency. Pass --memory-pressure to fork stress-ng (--vm 4 --vm-bytes 80% --vm-method all) for the duration of the run, so alloc_page() in anon_pipe_write() routinely hits direct reclaim. The flag fails fast if stress-ng is not on $PATH.

2026-04-16selftests: Deescalate error reportingMark Brown
Commit 7e47389142b8 ("selftests: Preserve subtarget failures in all/install") updated the propagation of errors from indivdual kselftest targets to be similar to that seen with FORCE_TARGETS. While it would be really nice to be in a position to do this currently it is premature to do this as the default behaviour. At present we default to trying to build all selftests but a combination of code quality issues and build dependencies mean that it is almost certain that at least one of them will fail to build (for example, several depend on clang so don't work in a GCC container) and a top level failure in the kselftest build reported. Further, the resulting failures mean that the install target does not run at all so any build problem is escallated to a complete failure to produce a kselftest tarball so CI systems that run into issues loose all selftests coverage. This has been causing disruption to a range of CI systems including KernelCI, mine and Arm's internal one. Revert the commit, users who need this behaviour should be able to use FORCE_TARGETS for the time being. At present users that do this (such as linux-next) are most likely building a subset of targets known to succeed in their environments.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs mount updates from Christian 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. This accompanies OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE and avoids a needless detour via OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to get the same effect. Will be especially useful when you mount an actual filesystem to be used as the container rootfs. - Currently, creating a new mount namespace always copies the entire mount tree from the caller's namespace. For containers and sandboxes that intend to build their mount table from scratch this is wasteful: they inherit a potentially large mount tree only to immediately tear it down. This series adds support for creating a mount namespace that contains only a clone of the root mount, with none of the child mounts. Two new flags are introduced: - CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS (0x400000000) for clone3(), using the 64-bit flag space - UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS (0x00100000) for unshare() Both flags imply CLONE_NEWNS. The resulting namespace contains a single nullfs root mount with an immutable empty directory. The intended workflow is to then mount a real filesystem (e.g., tmpfs) over the root and build the mount table from there. - Allow MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH to target the caller's rootfs, allowing to switch out the rootfs without pivot_root(2). The traditional approach to switching the rootfs involves pivot_root(2) or a chroot_fs_refs()-based mechanism that atomically updates fs->root for all tasks sharing the same fs_struct. This has consequences for fork(), unshare(CLONE_FS), and setns(). This series instead decomposes root-switching into individually atomic, locally-scoped steps: fd_tree = open_tree(-EBADF, "/newroot", OPEN_TREE_CLONE | OPEN_TREE_CLOEXEC); fchdir(fd_tree); move_mount(fd_tree, "", AT_FDCWD, "/", MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH | MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH); chroot("."); umount2(".", MNT_DETACH); Since each step only modifies the caller's own state, the fork/unshare/setns races are eliminated by design. A key step to making this possible is to remove the locked mount restriction. Originally MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH doesn't support mounting beneath a mount that is locked. The locked mount protects the underlying mount from being revealed. This is a core mechanism of unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS). The mounts in the new mount namespace become locked. That effectively makes the new mount table useless as the caller cannot ever get rid of any of the mounts no matter how useless they are. We can lift this restriction though. We simply transfer the locked property from the top mount to the mount beneath. This works because what we care about is to protect the underlying mount aka the parent. The mount mounted between the parent and the top mount takes over the job of protecting the parent mount from the top mount mount. This leaves us free to remove the locked property from the top mount which can consequently be unmounted: unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS) and we inherit a clone of procfs on /proc then currently we cannot unmount it as: umount -l /proc will fail with EINVAL because the procfs mount is locked. After this series we can now do: mount --beneath -t tmpfs tmpfs /proc umount -l /proc after which a tmpfs mount has been placed beneath the procfs mount. The tmpfs mount has become locked and the procfs mount has become unlocked. This means you can safely modify an inherited mount table after unprivileged namespace creation. Afterwards we simply make it possible to move a mount beneath the rootfs allowing to upgrade the rootfs. Removing the locked restriction makes this very useful for containers created with unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS) to reshuffle an inherited mount table safely and MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH makes it possible to switch out the rootfs instead of using the costly pivot_root(2). * tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.mount.v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: selftests/namespaces: remove unused utils.h include from listns_efault_test selftests/fsmount_ns: add missing TARGETS and fix cap test selftests/empty_mntns: fix wrong CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS hex value in comment selftests/empty_mntns: fix statmount_alloc() signature mismatch selftests/statmount: remove duplicate wait_for_pid() mount: always duplicate mount selftests/filesystems: add MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH rootfs tests move_mount: allow MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH on the rootfs move_mount: transfer MNT_LOCKED selftests/filesystems: add clone3 tests for empty mount namespaces selftests/filesystems: add tests for empty mount namespaces namespace: allow creating empty mount namespaces selftests: add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE tests selftests/statmount: add statmount_alloc() helper tools: update mount.h header mount: add FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE mount: simplify __do_loopback() mount: start iterating from start of rbtree

2026-04-14selftests/fsmount_ns: add missing TARGETS and fix cap testChristian Brauner
Add missing top-level kselftest TARGETS entries for empty_mntns and fsmount_ns so that 'make kselftest' discovers and runs these tests. Fix requires_cap_sys_admin test which always SKIPped because fsopen() was called after enter_userns(), where CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the mount namespace's user_ns is unavailable. Move fsopen/fsconfig before fork so the configured fs_fd is inherited by the child, which then only needs to call fsmount() after dropping privileges.

2026-04-13selftests: Preserve subtarget failures in all/installRicardo B. Marlière
Track failures explicitly in the top-level selftests all/install loops. The current code multiplies `ret` by each sub-make exit status. For example, with `TARGETS=net`, the implicit `net/lib` dependency runs after `net`, so a failed `net` build can be followed by a successful `net/lib` build and reset the final result to success. Set `ret` to 1 on any non-zero sub-make exit code and keep it sticky, so the top-level make returns failure when any selected selftest target fails. Signed-off-by: Ricardo B.

2026-01-29netconsole: selftests: Move netconsole selftests to separate targetAndre Carvalho
This patch moves netconsole selftests from drivers/net to its own target in drivers/net/netconsole. This change helps saving some resources from CI since tests in drivers/net automatically run against real hardware which are not used by netconsole tests as they rely solely on netdevsim. lib_netcons.sh is kept under drivers/net/lib since it is also used by bonding selftests. Finally, drivers/net config remains unchanged as netpoll_basic.py requires netconsole (and does leverage real HW testing).

2025-11-27selftests/liveupdate: add userspace API selftestsPasha Tatashin
Introduce a selftest suite for LUO. These tests validate the core userspace-facing API provided by the /dev/liveupdate device and its associated ioctls. The suite covers fundamental device behavior, session management, and the file preservation mechanism using memfd as a test case. This provides regression testing for the LUO uAPI. The following functionality is verified: Device Access: Basic open and close operations on /dev/liveupdate. Enforcement of exclusive device access (verifying EBUSY on a second open). Session Management: Successful creation of sessions with unique names. Failure to create sessions with duplicate names. File Preservation: Preserving a single memfd and verifying its content remains intact post-preservation. Preserving multiple memfds within a single session, each with unique data. A complex scenario involving multiple sessions, each containing a mix of empty and data-filled memfds. Note: This test suite is limited to verifying the pre-kexec functionality of LUO (e.g., session creation, file preservation). The post-kexec restoration of resources is not covered, as the kselftest framework does not currently support orchestrating a reboot and continuing execution in the new kernel.
