2025-11-17dt-bindings: Fix inconsistent quotingRob Herring (Arm)
yamllint has gained a new check which checks for inconsistent quoting (mixed " and ' quotes within a file). Fix all the cases yamllint found so we can enable the check (once the check is in a release). As single quotes are (slightly) preferred, use them throughout the modified files even if double quotes are mostly used.

2025-11-17nvme: nvme-fc: move tagset removal to nvme_fc_delete_ctrl()Ewan D. Milne
Now target is removed from nvme_fc_ctrl_free() which is the ctrl->ref release handler. And even admin queue is unquiesced there, this way is definitely wrong because the ctr->ref is grabbed when submitting command. And Marco observed that nvme_fc_ctrl_free() can be called from request completion code path, and trigger kernel warning since request completes from softirq context. Fix the issue by moveing target removal into nvme_fc_delete_ctrl(), which is also aligned with nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma. Patch originally proposed by Ming Lei, then modified to move the tagset removal down to after nvme_fc_delete_association() after further testing.

Add a module parameter to allow activation of extended linear cache on the auto region for cxl_test. The current platform implementation for extended linear cache is 1:1 of DRAM and CXL memory. A CFMWS is created with the size of both memory together where DRAM takes the first part of the memory range and CXL covers the second part. The current CXL auto region on cxl_test consists of 2 256M devices that creates a 512M region. The new extended linear cache setup will have 512M DRAM and 512M CXL memory for a total of 1G CFMWS. The hardware decoders must have their starting offset moved to after the DRAM region to handle the CXL regions. [ dj: Fixup commenting style.

2025-11-17Documentation: admin-guide: blockdev: update zloop parametersDamien Le Moal
In Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zoned_loop.rst, add the description of the zone_append and ordered_zone_append configuration arguments of zloop "add" command (device creation). Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2025-11-17zloop: introduce the ordered_zone_append configuration parameterDamien Le Moal
The zone append operation processing for zloop devices is similar to any other command, that is, the operation is processed as a command work item, without any special serialization between the work items (beside the zone mutex for mutually exclusive code sections). This processing is fine and gives excellent performance. However, it has a side effect: zone append operation are very often reordered and processed in a sequence that is very different from their issuing order by the user. This effect is very visible using an XFS file system on top of a zloop device. A simple file write leads to many file extents as the data writes using zone append are reordered and so result in the physical order being different than the file logical order. E.g. executing: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=1M count=10 && sync $ xfs_bmap /mnt/test /mnt/test: 0: [0..4095]: 2162688..2166783 1: [4096..6143]: 2168832..2170879 2: [6144..8191]: 2166784..2168831 3: [8192..10239]: 2170880..2172927 4: [10240..12287]: 2174976..2177023 5: [12288..14335]: 2172928..2174975 6: [14336..20479]: 2177024..2183167 For 10 IOs, 6 extents are created. This is fine and actually allows to exercise XFS zone garbage collection very well. However, this also makes debugging/working on XFS data placement harder as the underlying device will most of the time reorder IOs, resulting in many file extents. Allow a user to mitigate this with the new ordered_zone_append configuration parameter. For a zloop device created with this parameter specified, the sector of a zone append command is set early, when the command is submitted by the block layer with the zloop_queue_rq() function, instead of in the zloop_rw() function which is exectued later in the command work item context. This change ensures that more often than not, zone append operations data end up being written in the same order as the command submission by the user. In the case of XFS, this leads to far less file data extents. E.g., for the previous example, we get a single file data extent for the written file. $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=1M count=10 && sync $ xfs_bmap /mnt/test /mnt/test: 0: [0..20479]: 2162688..2183167 Since we cannot use a mutex in the context of the zloop_queue_rq() function to atomically set a zone append operation sector to the target zone write pointer location and increment that the write pointer, a new per-zone spinlock is introduced to protect a zone write pointer access and modifications. To check a zone write pointer location and set a zone append operation target sector to that value, the function zloop_set_zone_append_sector() is introduced and called from zloop_queue_rq().

2025-11-17zloop: introduce the zone_append configuration parameterDamien Le Moal
A zloop zoned block device declares to the block layer that it supports zone append operations. That is, a zloop device ressembles an NVMe ZNS devices supporting zone append. This native support is fine but it does not allow exercising the block layer zone write plugging emulation of zone append, as is done with SCSI or ATA SMR HDDs. Introduce the zone_append configuration parameter to allow creating a zloop device without native support for zone append, thus relying on the block layer zone append emulation. If not specified, zone append support is enabled by default. Otherwise, a value of 0 disables native zone append and a value of 1 enables it.

2025-11-17zloop: simplify checks for writes to sequential zonesDamien Le Moal
The function zloop_rw() already checks early that a request is fully contained within the target zone. So this check does not need to be done again for regular writes to sequential zones. Furthermore, since zone append operations are always directed to the zone write pointer location, we do not need to check for their alignment to that value after setting it. So turn the "if" checking the write pointer alignment into an "else if". While at it, improve the comment describing the write pointer modification and how this value is corrected in case of error.

2025-11-17zloop: fail zone append operations that are targeting full zonesDamien Le Moal
zloop_rw() will fail any regular write operation that targets a full sequential zone. The check for this is indirect and achieved by checking the write pointer alignment of the write operation. But this check is ineffective for zone append operations since these are alwasy automatically directed at a zone write pointer. Prevent zone append operations from being executed in a full zone with an explicit check of the zone condition.

2025-11-17block/blk-throttle: Fix throttle slice time for SSDsGuenter Roeck
Commit d61fcfa4bb18 ("blk-throttle: choose a small throtl_slice for SSD") introduced device type specific throttle slices if BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW was enabled. Commit bf20ab538c81 ("blk-throttle: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW") removed support for BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW, but left the device type specific throttle slices in place. This effectively changed throttling behavior on systems with SSD which now use a different and non-configurable slice time compared to non-SSD devices. Practical impact is that throughput tests with low configured throttle values (65536 bps) experience less than expected throughput on SSDs, presumably due to rounding errors associated with the small throttle slice time used for those devices. The same tests pass when setting the throttle values to 65536 * 4 = 262144 bps. The original code sets the throttle slice time to DFL_THROTL_SLICE_HD if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW is disabled. Restore that code to fix the problem. With that, DFL_THROTL_SLICE_SSD is no longer necessary. Revert to the original code and re-introduce DFL_THROTL_SLICE to replace both DFL_THROTL_SLICE_HD and DFL_THROTL_SLICE_SSD. This effectively reverts commit d61fcfa4bb18 ("blk-throttle: choose a small throtl_slice for SSD"). While at it, also remove MAX_THROTL_SLICE since it is not used anymore.

2025-11-17sched/fair: Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY to align with EEVDF goalsMel Gorman
Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY preemption to take into account the deadline and eligibility of the wakee with respect to the waker. In the event multiple buddies could be considered, the one with the earliest deadline is selected. Sync wakeups are treated differently to every other type of wakeup. The WF_SYNC assumption is that the waker promises to sleep in the very near future. This is violated in enough cases that WF_SYNC should be treated as a suggestion instead of a contract. If a waker does go to sleep almost immediately then the delay in wakeup is negligible. In other cases, it's throttled based on the accumulated runtime of the waker so there is a chance that some batched wakeups have been issued before preemption. For all other wakeups, preemption happens if the wakee has a earlier deadline than the waker and eligible to run. While many workloads were tested, the two main targets were a modified dbench4 benchmark and hackbench because the are on opposite ends of the spectrum -- one prefers throughput by avoiding preemption and the other relies on preemption. First is the dbench throughput data even though it is a poor metric but it is the default metric. The test machine is a 2-socket machine and the backing filesystem is XFS as a lot of the IO work is dispatched to kernel threads. It's important to note that these results are not representative across all machines, especially Zen machines, as different bottlenecks are exposed on different machines and filesystems. dbench4 Throughput (misleading but traditional) 6.18-rc1 6.18-rc1 vanilla sched-preemptnext-v5 Hmean 1 1268.80 ( 0.00%) 1269.74 ( 0.07%) Hmean 4 3971.74 ( 0.00%) 3950.59 ( -0.53%) Hmean 7 5548.23 ( 0.00%) 5420.08 ( -2.31%) Hmean 12 7310.86 ( 0.00%) 7165.57 ( -1.99%) Hmean 21 8874.53 ( 0.00%) 9149.04 ( 3.09%) Hmean 30 9361.93 ( 0.00%) 10530.04 ( 12.48%) Hmean 48 9540.14 ( 0.00%) 11820.40 ( 23.90%) Hmean 79 9208.74 ( 0.00%) 12193.79 ( 32.42%) Hmean 110 8573.12 ( 0.00%) 11933.72 ( 39.20%) Hmean 141 7791.33 ( 0.00%) 11273.90 ( 44.70%) Hmean 160 7666.60 ( 0.00%) 10768.72 ( 40.46%) As throughput is misleading, the benchmark is modified to use a short loadfile report the completion time duration in milliseconds. dbench4 Loadfile Execution Time 6.18-rc1 6.18-rc1 vanilla sched-preemptnext-v5 Amean 1 14.62 ( 0.00%) 14.69 ( -0.46%) Amean 4 18.76 ( 0.00%) 18.85 ( -0.45%) Amean 7 23.71 ( 0.00%) 24.38 ( -2.82%) Amean 12 31.25 ( 0.00%) 31.87 ( -1.97%) Amean 21 45.12 ( 0.00%) 43.69 ( 3.16%) Amean 30 61.07 ( 0.00%) 54.33 ( 11.03%) Amean 48 95.91 ( 0.00%) 77.22 ( 19.49%) Amean 79 163.38 ( 0.00%) 123.08 ( 24.66%) Amean 110 243.91 ( 0.00%) 175.11 ( 28.21%) Amean 141 343.47 ( 0.00%) 239.10 ( 30.39%) Amean 160 401.15 ( 0.00%) 283.73 ( 29.27%) Stddev 1 0.52 ( 0.00%) 0.51 ( 2.45%) Stddev 4 1.36 ( 0.00%) 1.30 ( 4.04%) Stddev 7 1.88 ( 0.00%) 1.87 ( 0.72%) Stddev 12 3.06 ( 0.00%) 2.45 ( 19.83%) Stddev 21 5.78 ( 0.00%) 3.87 ( 33.06%) Stddev 30 9.85 ( 0.00%) 5.25 ( 46.76%) Stddev 48 22.31 ( 0.00%) 8.64 ( 61.27%) Stddev 79 35.96 ( 0.00%) 18.07 ( 49.76%) Stddev 110 59.04 ( 0.00%) 30.93 ( 47.61%) Stddev 141 85.38 ( 0.00%) 40.93 ( 52.06%) Stddev 160 96.38 ( 0.00%) 39.72 ( 58.79%) That is still looking good and the variance is reduced quite a bit. Finally, fairness is a concern so the next report tracks how many milliseconds does it take for all clients to complete a workfile. This one is tricky because dbench makes to effort to synchronise clients so the durations at benchmark start time differ substantially from typical runtimes. This problem could be mitigated by warming up the benchmark for a number of minutes but it's a matter of opinion whether that counts as an evasion of inconvenient results. dbench4 All Clients Loadfile Execution Time 6.18-rc1 6.18-rc1 vanilla sched-preemptnext-v5 Amean 1 15.06 ( 0.00%) 15.07 ( -0.03%) Amean 4 603.81 ( 0.00%) 524.29 ( 13.17%) Amean 7 855.32 ( 0.00%) 1331.07 ( -55.62%) Amean 12 1890.02 ( 0.00%) 2323.97 ( -22.96%) Amean 21 3195.23 ( 0.00%) 2009.29 ( 37.12%) Amean 30 13919.53 ( 0.00%) 4579.44 ( 67.10%) Amean 48 25246.07 ( 0.00%) 5705.46 ( 77.40%) Amean 79 29701.84 ( 0.00%) 15509.26 ( 47.78%) Amean 110 22803.03 ( 0.00%) 23782.08 ( -4.29%) Amean 141 36356.07 ( 0.00%) 25074.20 ( 31.03%) Amean 160 17046.71 ( 0.00%) 13247.62 ( 22.29%) Stddev 1 0.47 ( 0.00%) 0.49 ( -3.74%) Stddev 4 395.24 ( 0.00%) 254.18 ( 35.69%) Stddev 7 467.24 ( 0.00%) 764.42 ( -63.60%) Stddev 12 1071.43 ( 0.00%) 1395.90 ( -30.28%) Stddev 21 1694.50 ( 0.00%) 1204.89 ( 28.89%) Stddev 30 7945.63 ( 0.00%) 2552.59 ( 67.87%) Stddev 48 14339.51 ( 0.00%) 3227.55 ( 77.49%) Stddev 79 16620.91 ( 0.00%) 8422.15 ( 49.33%) Stddev 110 12912.15 ( 0.00%) 13560.95 ( -5.02%) Stddev 141 20700.13 ( 0.00%) 14544.51 ( 29.74%) Stddev 160 9079.16 ( 0.00%) 7400.69 ( 18.49%) This is more of a mixed bag but it at least shows that fairness is not crippled.

In CFS, it was paired with LAST_BUDDY to switch back on the assumption that the pair of tasks still share data but also relied on START_DEBIT and the exact WAKEUP_PREEMPTION implementation to get good results. NEXT_BUDDY has been disabled since commit 0ec9fab3d186 ("sched: Improve latencies and throughput") and LAST_BUDDY was removed in commit 5e963f2bd465 ("sched/fair: Commit to EEVDF"). The reasoning is not clear but as vruntime spread is mentioned so the expectation is that NEXT_BUDDY had an impact on overall fairness. It was not noted why LAST_BUDDY was removed but it is assumed that it's very difficult to reason what LAST_BUDDY's correct and effective behaviour should be while still respecting EEVDFs goals. Peter Zijlstra noted during review; I think I was just struggling to make sense of things and figured less is more and axed it. I have vague memories trying to work through the dynamics of a wakeup-stack and the EEVDF latency requirements and getting a head-ache. NEXT_BUDDY is easier to reason about given that it's a point-in-time decision on the wakees deadline and eligibilty relative to the waker. Enable NEXT_BUDDY as a preparation path to document that the decision to ignore the current implementation is deliberate. While not presented, the results were at best neutral and often much more variable.

2025-11-17sched/fair: Have SD_SERIALIZE affect newidle balancingPeter Zijlstra
Also serialize the possiblty much more frequent newidle balancing for the 'expensive' domains that have SD_BALANCE set. Initial benchmarking by K Prateek and Tim showed no negative effect. Split out from the larger patch moving sched_balance_running around for ease of bisect and such.

2025-11-17sched/fair: Skip sched_balance_running cmpxchg when balance is not dueTim Chen
The NUMA sched domain sets the SD_SERIALIZE flag by default, allowing only one NUMA load balancing operation to run system-wide at a time. Currently, each sched group leader directly under NUMA domain attempts to acquire the global sched_balance_running flag via cmpxchg() before checking whether load balancing is due or whether it is the designated load balancer for that NUMA domain. On systems with a large number of cores, this causes significant cache contention on the shared sched_balance_running flag. This patch reduces unnecessary cmpxchg() operations by first checking that the balancer is the designated leader for a NUMA domain from should_we_balance(), and the balance interval has expired before trying to acquire sched_balance_running to load balance a NUMA domain. On a 2-socket Granite Rapids system with sub-NUMA clustering enabled, running an OLTP workload, 7.8% of total CPU cycles were previously spent in sched_balance_domain() contending on sched_balance_running before this change. : 104 static __always_inline int arch_atomic_cmpxchg(atomic_t *v, int old, int new) : 105 { : 106 return arch_cmpxchg(&v->counter, old, new); 0.00 : ffffffff81326e6c: xor %eax,%eax 0.00 : ffffffff81326e6e: mov $0x1,%ecx 0.00 : ffffffff81326e73: lock cmpxchg %ecx,0x2394195(%rip) # ffffffff836bb010 <sched_balance_running> : 110 sched_balance_domains(): : 12234 if (atomic_cmpxchg_acquire(&sched_balance_running, 0, 1)) 99.39 : ffffffff81326e7b: test %eax,%eax 0.00 : ffffffff81326e7d: jne ffffffff81326e99 <sched_balance_domains+0x209> : 12238 if (time_after_eq(jiffies, sd->last_balance + interval)) { 0.00 : ffffffff81326e7f: mov 0x14e2b3a(%rip),%rax # ffffffff828099c0 <jiffies_64> 0.00 : ffffffff81326e86: sub 0x48(%r14),%rax 0.00 : ffffffff81326e8a: cmp %rdx,%rax After applying this fix, sched_balance_domain() is gone from the profile and there is a 5% throughput improvement.

2025-11-17nvme-multipath: fix lockdep WARN due to partition scan workShin'ichiro Kawasaki
Blktests test cases nvme/014, 057 and 058 fail occasionally due to a lockdep WARN. As reported in the Closes tag URL, the WARN indicates that a deadlock can happen due to the dependency among disk->open_mutex, kblockd workqueue completion and partition_scan_work completion. To avoid the lockdep WARN and the potential deadlock, cut the dependency by running the partition_scan_work not by kblockd workqueue but by nvme_wq.

Commit 7e091add9c43 "nvme-auth: update sc_c in host response" added the sc_c variable to the dhchap queue context structure which is appropriately set during negotiate and then used in the host response. This breaks secure concat connections with a Linux target as the target code wasn't updated at the same time. This patch fixes this by adding a new sc_c variable to the host hash calculations.
