io_uring: ensure ctx->rings is stable for task work flags manipulation

2026-03-19T15:15:32Z

Commit 96189080265e6bb5dde3a4afbaf947af493e3f82 upstream. If DEFER_TASKRUN | SETUP_TASKRUN is used and task work is added while the ring is being resized, it's possible for the OR'ing of IORING_SQ_TASKRUN to happen in the small window of swapping into the new rings and the old rings being freed. Prevent this by adding a 2nd ->rings pointer, ->rings_rcu, which is protected by RCU. The task work flags manipulation is inside RCU already, and if the resize ring freeing is done post an RCU synchronize, then there's no need to add locking to the fast path of task work additions. Note: this is only done for DEFER_TASKRUN, as that's the only setup mode that supports ring resizing. If this ever changes, then they too need to use the io_ctx_mark_taskrun() helper.

mm/damon: rename min_sz_region of damon_ctx to min_region_sz

2026-03-19T15:15:32Z

[ Upstream commit cc1db8dff8e751ec3ab352483de366b7f23aefe2 ] 'min_sz_region' field of 'struct damon_ctx' represents the minimum size of each DAMON region for the context. 'struct damos_access_pattern' has a field of the same name. It confuses readers and makes 'grep' less optimal for them. Rename it to 'min_region_sz'.

qmi_wwan: allow max_mtu above hard_mtu to control rx_urb_size

2026-03-19T15:15:25Z

commit 55f854dd5bdd8e19b936a00ef1f8d776ac32c7b0 upstream. Commit c7159e960f14 ("usbnet: limit max_mtu based on device's hard_mtu") capped net->max_mtu to the device's hard_mtu in usbnet_probe(). While this correctly prevents oversized packets on standard USB network devices, it breaks the qmi_wwan driver. qmi_wwan relies on userspace (e.g. ModemManager) setting a large MTU on the wwan0 interface to configure rx_urb_size via usbnet_change_mtu(). QMI modems negotiate USB transfer sizes of 16,383 or 32,767 bytes, and the USB receive buffers must be sized accordingly. With max_mtu capped to hard_mtu (~1500 bytes), userspace can no longer raise the MTU, the receive buffers remain small, and download speeds drop from >300 Mbps to ~0.8 Mbps. Introduce a FLAG_NOMAXMTU driver flag that allows individual usbnet drivers to opt out of the max_mtu cap. Set this flag in qmi_wwan's driver_info structures to restore the previous behavior for QMI devices, while keeping the safety fix in place for all other usbnet drivers.

kunit: irq: Ensure timer doesn't fire too frequently

2026-03-19T15:15:16Z

commit 201ceb94aa1def0024a7c18ce643e5f65026be06 upstream. Fix a bug where kunit_run_irq_test() could hang if the system is too slow. This was noticed with the crypto library tests in certain VMs. Specifically, if kunit_irq_test_timer_func() and the associated hrtimer code took over 5us to run, then the CPU would spend all its time executing that code in hardirq context. As a result, the task executing kunit_run_irq_test() never had a chance to run, exit the loop, and cancel the timer. To fix it, make kunit_irq_test_timer_func() increase the timer interval when the other contexts aren't having a chance to run.

irqchip/gic-v3-its: Limit number of per-device MSIs to the range the ITS supports

2026-03-19T15:15:15Z

commit ce9e40a9a5e5cff0b1b0d2fa582b3d71a8ce68e8 upstream. The ITS driver blindly assumes that EventIDs are in abundant supply, to the point where it never checks how many the hardware actually supports. It turns out that some pretty esoteric integrations make it so that only a few bits are available, all the way down to a single bit. Enforce the advertised limitation at the point of allocating the device structure, and hope that the endpoint driver can deal with such limitation.

kthread: consolidate kthread exit paths to prevent use-after-free

2026-03-19T15:15:12Z

commit 28aaa9c39945b7925a1cc1d513c8f21ed38f5e4f upstream. Guillaume reported crashes via corrupted RCU callback function pointers during KUnit testing. The crash was traced back to the pidfs rhashtable conversion which replaced the 24-byte rb_node with an 8-byte rhash_head in struct pid, shrinking it from 160 to 144 bytes. struct kthread (without CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP) is also 144 bytes. With CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT and SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN both round up to 192 bytes and share the same slab cache. struct pid.rcu.func and struct kthread.affinity_node both sit at offset 0x78. When a kthread exits via make_task_dead() it bypasses kthread_exit() and misses the affinity_node cleanup. free_kthread_struct() frees the memory while the node is still linked into the global kthread_affinity_list. A subsequent list_del() by another kthread writes through dangling list pointers into the freed and reused memory, corrupting the pid's rcu.func pointer. Instead of patching free_kthread_struct() to handle the missed cleanup, consolidate all kthread exit paths. Turn kthread_exit() into a macro that calls do_exit() and add kthread_do_exit() which is called from do_exit() for any task with PF_KTHREAD set. This guarantees that kthread-specific cleanup always happens regardless of the exit path - make_task_dead(), direct do_exit(), or kthread_exit(). Replace __to_kthread() with a new tsk_is_kthread() accessor in the public header. Export do_exit() since module code using the kthread_exit() macro now needs it directly.

liveupdate: luo_file: remember retrieve() status

2026-03-19T15:15:12Z

commit f85b1c6af5bc3872f994df0a5688c1162de07a62 upstream. LUO keeps track of successful retrieve attempts on a LUO file. It does so to avoid multiple retrievals of the same file. Multiple retrievals cause problems because once the file is retrieved, the serialized data structures are likely freed and the file is likely in a very different state from what the code expects. The retrieve boolean in struct luo_file keeps track of this, and is passed to the finish callback so it knows what work was already done and what it has left to do. All this works well when retrieve succeeds. When it fails, luo_retrieve_file() returns the error immediately, without ever storing anywhere that a retrieve was attempted or what its error code was. This results in an errored LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_RETRIEVE_FD ioctl to userspace, but nothing prevents it from trying this again. The retry is problematic for much of the same reasons listed above. The file is likely in a very different state than what the retrieve logic normally expects, and it might even have freed some serialization data structures. Attempting to access them or free them again is going to break things. For example, if memfd managed to restore 8 of its 10 folios, but fails on the 9th, a subsequent retrieve attempt will try to call kho_restore_folio() on the first folio again, and that will fail with a warning since it is an invalid operation. Apart from the retry, finish() also breaks. Since on failure the retrieved bool in luo_file is never touched, the finish() call on session close will tell the file handler that retrieve was never attempted, and it will try to access or free the data structures that might not exist, much in the same way as the retry attempt. There is no sane way of attempting the retrieve again. Remember the error retrieve returned and directly return it on a retry. Also pass this status code to finish() so it can make the right decision on the work it needs to do. This is done by changing the bool to an integer. A value of 0 means retrieve was never attempted, a positive value means it succeeded, and a negative value means it failed and the error code is the value.

mm: Fix a hmm_range_fault() livelock / starvation problem

2026-03-19T15:15:11Z

commit b570f37a2ce480be26c665345c5514686a8a0274 upstream. If hmm_range_fault() fails a folio_trylock() in do_swap_page, trying to acquire the lock of a device-private folio for migration, to ram, the function will spin until it succeeds grabbing the lock. However, if the process holding the lock is depending on a work item to be completed, which is scheduled on the same CPU as the spinning hmm_range_fault(), that work item might be starved and we end up in a livelock / starvation situation which is never resolved. This can happen, for example if the process holding the device-private folio lock is stuck in migrate_device_unmap()->lru_add_drain_all() sinc lru_add_drain_all() requires a short work-item to be run on all online cpus to complete. A prerequisite for this to happen is: a) Both zone device and system memory folios are considered in migrate_device_unmap(), so that there is a reason to call lru_add_drain_all() for a system memory folio while a folio lock is held on a zone device folio. b) The zone device folio has an initial mapcount > 1 which causes at least one migration PTE entry insertion to be deferred to try_to_migrate(), which can happen after the call to lru_add_drain_all(). c) No or voluntary only preemption. This all seems pretty unlikely to happen, but indeed is hit by the "xe_exec_system_allocator" igt test. Resolve this by waiting for the folio to be unlocked if the folio_trylock() fails in do_swap_page(). Rename migration_entry_wait_on_locked() to softleaf_entry_wait_unlock() and update its documentation to indicate the new use-case. Future code improvements might consider moving the lru_add_drain_all() call in migrate_device_unmap() to be called *after* all pages have migration entries inserted. That would eliminate also b) above. v2: - Instead of a cond_resched() in hmm_range_fault(), eliminate the problem by waiting for the folio to be unlocked in do_swap_page() (Alistair Popple, Andrew Morton) v3: - Add a stub migration_entry_wait_on_locked() for the !CONFIG_MIGRATION case.
