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

2026-03-19T15:08:28Z

commit 079c24d5690262e83ee476e2a548e416f3237511 upstream. The rss_stat trace event allows userspace tools, like Perfetto [1], to inspect per-process RSS metric changes over time. The curr field was introduced to rss_stat in commit e4dcad204d3a ("rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm"). Its intent is to indicate whether the RSS update is for the mm_struct of the current execution context; and is set to false when operating on a remote mm_struct (e.g., via kswapd or a direct reclaimer). However, an issue arises when a kernel thread temporarily adopts a user process's mm_struct. Kernel threads do not have their own mm_struct and normally have current->mm set to NULL. To operate on user memory, they can "borrow" a memory context using kthread_use_mm(), which sets current->mm to the user process's mm. This can be observed, for example, in the USB Function Filesystem (FFS) driver. The ffs_user_copy_worker() handles AIO completions and uses kthread_use_mm() to copy data to a user-space buffer. If a page fault occurs during this copy, the fault handler executes in the kthread's context. At this point, current is the kthread, but current->mm points to the user process's mm. Since the rss_stat event (from the page fault) is for that same mm, the condition current->mm == mm becomes true, causing curr to be incorrectly set to true when the trace event is emitted. This is misleading because it suggests the mm belongs to the kthread, confusing userspace tools that track per-process RSS changes and corrupting their mm_id-to-process association. Fix this by ensuring curr is always false when the trace event is emitted from a kthread context by checking for the PF_KTHREAD flag.

netfs: Fix unbuffered/DIO writes to dispatch subrequests in strict sequence

2026-03-12T11:09:49Z

[ Upstream commit a0b4c7a49137ed21279f354eb59f49ddae8dffc2 ] Fix netfslib such that when it's making an unbuffered or DIO write, to make sure that it sends each subrequest strictly sequentially, waiting till the previous one is 'committed' before sending the next so that we don't have pieces landing out of order and potentially leaving a hole if an error occurs (ENOSPC for example). This is done by copying in just those bits of issuing, collecting and retrying subrequests that are necessary to do one subrequest at a time. Retrying, in particular, is simpler because if the current subrequest needs retrying, the source iterator can just be copied again and the subrequest prepped and issued again without needing to be concerned about whether it needs merging with the previous or next in the sequence. Note that the issuing loop waits for a subrequest to complete right after issuing it, but this wait could be moved elsewhere allowing preparatory steps to be performed whilst the subrequest is in progress. In particular, once content encryption is available in netfslib, that could be done whilst waiting, as could cleanup of buffers that have been completed.

tracing/dma: Cap dma_map_sg tracepoint arrays to prevent buffer overflow

2026-02-19T15:31:33Z

[ Upstream commit daafcc0ef0b358d9d622b6e3b7c43767aa3814ee ] The dma_map_sg tracepoint can trigger a perf buffer overflow when tracing large scatter-gather lists. With devices like virtio-gpu creating large DRM buffers, nents can exceed 1000 entries, resulting in: phys_addrs: 1000 * 8 bytes = 8,000 bytes dma_addrs: 1000 * 8 bytes = 8,000 bytes lengths: 1000 * 4 bytes = 4,000 bytes Total: ~20,000 bytes This exceeds PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE (8192 bytes), causing: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5497 at kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c:405 perf buffer not large enough, wanted 24620, have 8192 Cap all three dynamic arrays at 128 entries using min() in the array size calculation. This ensures arrays are only as large as needed (up to the cap), avoiding unnecessary memory allocation for small operations while preventing overflow for large ones. The tracepoint now records the full nents/ents counts and a truncated flag so users can see when data has been capped. Changes in v2: - Use min(nents, DMA_TRACE_MAX_ENTRIES) for dynamic array sizing instead of fixed DMA_TRACE_MAX_ENTRIES allocation (feedback from Steven Rostedt) - This allocates only what's needed up to the cap, avoiding waste for small operations Reported-by: syzbot+28cea38c382fd15e751a@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=28cea38c382fd15e751a Tested-by: syzbot+28cea38c382fd15e751a@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Deepanshu Kartikey Reviwed-by: Sean Anderson Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260130155215.69737-1-kartikey406@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

rxrpc: Fix recvmsg() unconditional requeue

2026-01-30T09:32:14Z

commit 2c28769a51deb6022d7fbd499987e237a01dd63a upstream. If rxrpc_recvmsg() fails because MSG_DONTWAIT was specified but the call at the front of the recvmsg queue already has its mutex locked, it requeues the call - whether or not the call is already queued. The call may be on the queue because MSG_PEEK was also passed and so the call was not dequeued or because the I/O thread requeued it. The unconditional requeue may then corrupt the recvmsg queue, leading to things like UAFs or refcount underruns. Fix this by only requeuing the call if it isn't already on the queue - and moving it to the front if it is already queued. If we don't queue it, we have to put the ref we obtained by dequeuing it. Also, MSG_PEEK doesn't dequeue the call so shouldn't call rxrpc_notify_socket() for the call if we didn't use up all the data on the queue, so fix that also.

btrfs: fix NULL dereference on root when tracing inode eviction

2026-01-17T15:35:18Z

[ Upstream commit f157dd661339fc6f5f2b574fe2429c43bd309534 ] When evicting an inode the first thing we do is to setup tracing for it, which implies fetching the root's id. But in btrfs_evict_inode() the root might be NULL, as implied in the next check that we do in btrfs_evict_inode(). Hence, we either should set the ->root_objectid to 0 in case the root is NULL, or we move tracing setup after checking that the root is not NULL. Setting the rootid to 0 at least gives us the possibility to trace this call even in the case when the root is NULL, so that's the solution taken here.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "This excludes the bulk of the x86 changes, which I will send separately. They have two not complex but relatively unusual conflicts so I will wait for other dust to settle. guest_memfd: - Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE (which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared). This lays the groundwork for removal of guest memory from the kernel direct map, as well as for limited mmap() for guest_memfd-backed memory.

This will hopefully help debugging non-VHE setups. - Add 52bit PA support to the stage-1 page-table walker, and make use of it to populate the fault level reported to the guest on failing to translate a stage-1 walk. - Add NV support to the GICv3-on-GICv5 emulation code, ensuring feature parity for guests, irrespective of the host platform. - Fix some really ugly architecture problems when dealing with debug in a nested VM. This has some bad performance impacts, but is at least correct. - Add enough infrastructure to be able to disable EL2 features and give effective values to the EL2 control registers. This then allows a bunch of features to be turned off, which helps cross-host migration. - Large rework of the selftest infrastructure to allow most tests to transparently run at EL2. This is the first step towards enabling NV testing. - Various fixes and improvements all over the map, including one BE fix, just in time for the removal of the feature. LoongArch: - Detect page table walk feature on new hardware - Add sign extension with kernel MMIO/IOCSR emulation - Improve in-kernel IPI emulation - Improve in-kernel PCH-PIC emulation - Move kvm_iocsr tracepoint out of generic code RISC-V: - Added SBI FWFT extension for Guest/VM with misaligned delegation and pointer masking PMLEN features - Added ONE_REG interface for SBI FWFT extension - Added Zicbop and bfloat16 extensions for Guest/VM - Enabled more common KVM selftests for RISC-V - Added SBI v3.0 PMU enhancements in KVM and perf driver s390: - Improve interrupt cpu for wakeup, in particular the heuristic to decide which vCPU to deliver a floating interrupt to. - Clear the PTE when discarding a swapped page because of CMMA; this bug was introduced in 6.16 when refactoring gmap code. x86 selftests: - Add #DE coverage in the fastops test (the only exception that's guest- triggerable in fastop-emulated instructions). - Fix PMU selftests errors encountered on Granite Rapids (GNR), Sierra Forest (SRF) and Clearwater Forest (CWF). - Minor cleanups and improvements x86 (guest side): - For the legacy PCI hole (memory between TOLUD and 4GiB) to UC when overriding guest MTRR for TDX/SNP to fix an issue where ACPI auto-mapping could map devices as WB and prevent the device drivers from mapping their devices with UC/UC-. - Make kvm_async_pf_task_wake() a local static helper and remove its export. - Use native qspinlocks when running in a VM with dedicated vCPU=>pCPU bindings even when PV_UNHALT is unsupported.
