2025-11-13io_uring/zcrx: elide passing msg flagsPavel Begunkov
zcrx sqe->msg_flags has never been defined and checked to be zero. It doesn't need to be a MSG_* bitmask. Keep them undefined, don't mix with MSG_DONTWAIT, and don't pass into io_zcrx_recv() as it's ignored anyway.

2025-11-13io_uring/query: introduce rings info queryPavel Begunkov
Same problem as with zcrx in the previous patch, the user needs to know SQ/CQ header sizes to allocated memory before setup to use it for user provided rings, i.e. IORING_SETUP_NO_MMAP, however that information is only returned after registration, hence the user is guessing kernel implementation details. Return the header size and alignment, which is split with the same motivation, to allow the user to know the real structure size without alignment in case there will be more flexible placement schemes in the future.

2025-11-13io_uring/query: introduce zcrx queryPavel Begunkov
Add a new query type IO_URING_QUERY_ZCRX returning the user some basic information about the interface, which includes allowed flags for areas and registration and supported IORING_REGISTER_ZCRX_CTRL subcodes. There is also a chicken-egg problem with user provided refill queue memory, where offsets and size information is returned after registration, but to properly allocate memory you need to know it beforehand, which is why the userspace currently has to guess the RQ headers size and severely overestimates it. Return the size information. It's split into "size" and "alignment" fields because for default placement modes the user is interested in the aligned size, however if it gets support for more flexible placement, it'll need to only know the actual header size.

2025-11-13arm64/sysreg: Add ICH_VMCR_EL2Sascha Bischoff
Add the ICH_VMCR_EL2 register, which is required for the upcoming GICv5 KVM support. This register has two different field encodings, based on if it is used for GICv3 or GICv5-based VMs. The GICv5-specific field encodings are generated with a FEAT_GCIE prefix. This register is already described in the GICv3 KVM code directly. This will be ported across to use the generated encodings as part of an upcoming change.

2025-11-13arm64/sysreg: Support feature-specific fields with 'Prefix' descriptorSascha Bischoff
Some system register field encodings change based on, for example the in-use architecture features, or the context in which they are accessed. In order to support these different field encodings, introduce the Prefix descriptor (Prefix, EndPrefix) for describing such sysregs. The Prefix descriptor can be used in the following way: Sysreg EXAMPLE 0 1 2 3 4 Prefix FEAT_A Field 63:0 Foo EndPrefix Prefix FEAT_B Field 63:1 Bar Res0 0 EndPrefix Field 63:0 Baz EndSysreg This will generate a single set of system register encodings (REG_, SYS_, ...), and then generate three sets of field definitions for the system register called EXAMPLE. The first set is prefixed by FEAT_A, e.g. FEAT_A_EXAMPLE_Foo. The second set is prefixed by FEAT_B, e.g., FEAT_B_EXAMPLE_Bar. The third set is not given a prefix at all, e.g. EXAMPLE_BAZ. For each set, a corresponding set of defines for Res0, Res1, and Unkn is generated. The intent for the final prefix-less fields is to describe default or legacy field encodings. This ensure that prefixed encodings can be added to already-present sysregs without affecting existing legacy code. Prefixed fields must be defined before those without a prefix, and this is checked by the generator. This ensures consisnt ordering within the sysregs definitions. The Prefix descriptor can be used within Sysreg or SysregFields blocks. Field, Res0, Res1, Unkn, Rax, SignedEnum, Enum can all be used within a Prefix block. Fields and Mapping can not. Fields that vary with features must be described as part of a SysregFields block, instead. Mappings, which are just a code comment, make little sense in this context, and have hence not been included. There are no changes to the generated system register definitions as part of this change.

2025-11-13arm64/sysreg: Fix checks for incomplete sysreg definitionsSascha Bischoff
The checks for incomplete sysreg definitions were checking if the next_bit was greater than 0, which is incorrect and missed occasions where bit 0 hasn't been defined for a sysreg. The reason is that next_bit is -1 when all bits have been processed (LSB - 1). Change the checks to use >= 0, instead. Also, set next_bit in Mapping to -1 instead of 0 to match these new checks. There are no changes to the generated sysreg definitons as part of this change, and conveniently no definitions lack definitions for bit 0.

2025-11-13arm64/mm: Elide TLB flush in certain pte protection transitionsDev Jain
Currently arm64 does an unconditional TLB flush in mprotect(). This is not required for some cases, for example, when changing from PROT_NONE to PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE (a real usecase - glibc malloc does this to emulate growing into the non-main heaps), and unsetting uffd-wp in a range. Therefore, implement pte_needs_flush() for arm64, which is already implemented by some other arches as well. Running a userspace program changing permissions back and forth between PROT_NONE and PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, and measuring the average time taken for the none->rw transition, I get a reduction from 3.2 microseconds to 2.85 microseconds, giving a 12.3% improvement.

Leon Hwang says: ==================== In the discussion thread "[PATCH bpf-next v9 0/7] bpf: Introduce BPF_F_CPU and BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flags for percpu maps"[1], it was pointed out that missing calls to bpf_obj_free_fields() could lead to memory leaks. A selftest was added to confirm that this is indeed a real issue - the refcount of BPF_KPTR_REF field is not decremented when bpf_obj_free_fields() is missing after copy_map_value[,_long](). Further inspection of copy_map_value[,_long]() call sites revealed two locations affected by this issue: 1. pcpu_copy_value() 2. htab_map_update_elem() when used with BPF_F_LOCK Similar case happens when update local storage maps with BPF_F_LOCK. This series fixes the cases where BPF_F_LOCK is not involved by properly calling bpf_obj_free_fields() after copy_map_value[,_long](), and adds a selftest to verify the fix. The remaining cases involving BPF_F_LOCK will be addressed in a separate patch set after the series "bpf: Introduce BPF_F_CPU and BPF_F_ALL_CPUS flags for percpu maps" is applied.

2025-11-13mptcp: Disallow MPTCP subflows from sockmapJiayuan Chen
The sockmap feature allows bpf syscall from userspace, or based on bpf sockops, replacing the sk_prot of sockets during protocol stack processing with sockmap's custom read/write interfaces. ''' tcp_rcv_state_process() subflow_syn_recv_sock() tcp_init_transfer(BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB) bpf_skops_established <== sockops bpf_sock_map_update(sk) <== call bpf helper tcp_bpf_update_proto() <== update sk_prot ''' Consider two scenarios: 1. When the server has MPTCP enabled and the client also requests MPTCP, the sk passed to the BPF program is a subflow sk. Since subflows only handle partial data, replacing their sk_prot is meaningless and will cause traffic disruption. 2. When the server has MPTCP enabled but the client sends a TCP SYN without MPTCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() performs a fallback on the subflow, replacing the subflow sk's sk_prot with the native sk_prot. ''' subflow_ulp_fallback() subflow_drop_ctx() mptcp_subflow_ops_undo_override() ''' Subsequently, accept::mptcp_stream_accept::mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops() converts the subflow to plain TCP. For the first case, we should prevent it from being combined with sockmap by setting sk_prot->psock_update_sk_prot to NULL, which will be blocked by sockmap's own flow. For the second case, since subflow_syn_recv_sock() has already restored sk_prot to native tcp_prot/tcpv6_prot, no further action is needed.

2025-11-13PCI: brcmstb: Add panic/die handler to driverJim Quinlan
Most PCIe HW returns 0xffffffff for failed reads on PCIe, but by default Broadcom's STB PCIe controller effects an abort. Some SoCs -- 7216 and its descendants -- have new HW that identifies error details. Add a simple handler to print diagnostic info in case the PCIe controller was the cause of the abort. Unfortunately, an abort still occurs. Read the error registers only when the PCIe bridge is active and the PCIe registers are accessible. Otherwise, a "die" event caused by something other than PCIe could cause an abort if the PCIe "die" handler tried to access registers when the bridge is off. Example error output: brcm-pcie 8b20000.pcie: Error: Mem Acc: 32bit, read, @0x38000000 brcm-pcie 8b20000.pcie: Type: TO=0 Abt=0 UnspReq=1 AccDsble=0 BadAddr=0 Signed-off-by: Jim Quinlan <james.quinlan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <florian.fainelli@broadcom.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251029193616.3670003-3-james.quinlan@broadcom.com
2025-11-13PCI: brcmstb: Add a way to indicate if PCIe bridge is activeJim Quinlan
In a future commit, a new handler will be introduced that in part does reads and writes to some of the PCIe registers. When this handler is invoked, it is paramount that it does not do these register accesses when the PCIe bridge is inactive, as this will cause CPU abort errors. To solve this we keep a spinlock that guards a variable which indicates whether the bridge is on or off. When the bridge is on, access of the PCIe HW registers may proceed. Since there are multiple ways to reset the bridge, we introduce a general function to obtain the spinlock, call the specific function that is used for the specific SoC, sets the bridge active indicator variable, and releases the spinlock.

2025-11-13Merge branch 'elevator-switch-6.19' into for-6.19/blockJens Axboe
Merge elevator switching improvements from Nilay: "This patchset reorganizes the elevator switch path used during both nr_hw_queues update and elv_iosched_store() operations to address a recently reported lockdep splat [1]. The warning highlights a locking dependency between ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock on pcpu_alloc_mutex, triggered when the Kyber scheduler dynamically allocates its private scheduling data. The fix is to ensure that such allocations occur outside the locked sections, thus eliminating the dependency chain. While working on this, it also became evident that the nr_hw_queue update code maintains two disjoint xarrays—one for elevator tags and another for elevator type—both serving the same purpose. Unifying these into a single elv_change_ctx structure improves clarity and maintainability. This series therefore implements five patches: The first perparatory patch unifies elevator tags and type xarrays. It combines both xarrays into a single struct elv_change_ctx, simplifying per-queue elevator state management. The second patch is aimed to group together all elevator-related resources that share the same lifetime and as a first step we move the elevator tags pointer from struct elv_change_ctx into the newly introduced struct elevator_resources. The subsequent patch extends the struct elevator_resources to include other elevator-related data. The third patch introduce ->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data elevator ops which could be then used to safely allocate and free scheduler data. The fourth patch now builds upon the previous patch and starts using the newly introduced alloc/free sched data methods in the earlier patch during elevator switch and nr_hw_queue update. And while doing so, it's ensured that sched data allocation and free happens before we acquire ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock thus preventing its dependency on pcpu_alloc_mutex. The last patch of this series converts Kyber scheduler to use the new methods inroduced in the previous patch. It hooks Kyber’s scheduler data allocation and teardown logic from ->init_sched and ->exit_sched into the new methods, ensuring memory operations are performed outside locked sections. Together, these changes simplify the elevator switch logic and prevent the reported lockdep splat."

2025-11-13block: define alloc_sched_data and free_sched_data methods for kyberNilay Shroff
Currently, the Kyber elevator allocates its private data dynamically in ->init_sched and frees it in ->exit_sched. However, since ->init_sched is invoked during elevator switch after acquiring both ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock, it may trigger the lockdep splat [1] due to dependency on pcpu_alloc_mutex. To resolve this, move the elevator data allocation and deallocation logic from ->init_sched and ->exit_sched into the newly introduced ->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data methods.

The previous patch introduced ->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data methods. This patch builds upon that by now using these methods during elevator switch and nr_hw_queue update. It's also ensured that scheduler-specific data is allocated and freed through the new callbacks outside of the ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock locking contexts, thereby preventing any dependency on pcpu_alloc_mutex.

2025-11-13block: introduce alloc_sched_data and free_sched_data elevator methodsNilay Shroff
The recent lockdep splat [1] highlights a potential deadlock risk involving ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock dependencies on -pcpu_alloc_ mutex. The trace shows that the issue occurs when the Kyber scheduler allocates dynamic memory for its elevator data during initialization. To address this, introduce two new elevator operation callbacks: ->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data. The subsequent patch would build upon these newly introduced methods to suppress lockdep splat[1].

2025-11-13block: move elevator tags into struct elevator_resourcesNilay Shroff
This patch introduces a new structure, struct elevator_resources, to group together all elevator-related resources that share the same lifetime. As a first step, this change moves the elevator tag pointer from struct elv_change_ctx into the new struct elevator_resources. Additionally, rename blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags_batch() and blk_mq_free_sched_tags_batch() to blk_mq_alloc_sched_res_batch() and blk_mq_free_sched_res_batch(), respectively. Introduce two new wrapper helpers, blk_mq_alloc_sched_res() and blk_mq_free_sched_res(), around blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags() and blk_mq_free_sched_tags(). These changes pave the way for consolidating the allocation and freeing of elevator-specific resources into common helper functions. This refactoring improves encapsulation and prepares the code for future extensions, allowing additional elevator-specific data to be added to struct elevator_resources without cluttering struct elv_change_ctx. Subsequent patches will extend struct elevator_resources to include other elevator-related data.

2025-11-13block: unify elevator tags and type xarrays into struct elv_change_ctxNilay Shroff
Currently, the nr_hw_queues update path manages two disjoint xarrays — one for elevator tags and another for elevator type — both used during elevator switching. Maintaining these two parallel structures for the same purpose adds unnecessary complexity and potential for mismatched state. This patch unifies both xarrays into a single structure, struct elv_change_ctx, which holds all per-queue elevator change context. A single xarray, named elv_tbl, now maps each queue (q->id) in a tagset to its corresponding elv_change_ctx entry, encapsulating the elevator tags, type and name references. This unification simplifies the code, improves maintainability, and clarifies ownership of per-queue elevator state.

Since the beginning, SPHINXDIRS was meant to be used by any subdirectory inside Documentation/ that contains a file named index.rst on it. The typical usecase for SPHINXDIRS is help building subsystem-specific documentation, without needing to wait for the entire building (with can take 3 minutes with Sphinx 8.x and above, and a lot more with older versions). Yet, the documentation for such feature was written back in 2016, where almost all index.rst files were at the first level (Documentation/*/index.rst).

This overlays the trailing MEMBER struct btree_iter_set stack_data[MAX_BSETS]; onto the FAM struct btree_iter::data[], while keeping the FAM and the start of MEMBER aligned.

2025-11-13bcache: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue usersMarco Crivellari
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND. This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues, allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and reducing noise when CPUs are isolated. This patch continues the effort to refactor worqueue APIs, which has begun with the change introducing new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag: commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq") commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag") This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified. With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND), any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND must now use WQ_PERCPU. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default.

2025-11-13bcache: reduce gc latency by processing less nodes and sleep less timeColy Li
When bcache device is busy for high I/O loads, there are two methods to reduce the garbage collection latency, - Process less nodes in eac loop of incremental garbage collection in btree_gc_recurse(). - Sleep less time between two full garbage collection in bch_btree_gc(). This patch introduces to hleper routines to provide different garbage collection nodes number and sleep intervel time. - btree_gc_min_nodes() If there is no front end I/O, return 128 nodes to process in each incremental loop, otherwise only 10 nodes are returned. Then front I/O is able to access the btree earlier. - btree_gc_sleep_ms() If there is no synchronized wait for bucket allocation, sleep 100 ms between two incremental GC loop. Othersize only sleep 10 ms before incremental GC loop. Then a faster GC may provide available buckets earlier, to avoid most of bcache working threads from being starved by buckets allocation. The idea is inspired by works from Mingzhe Zou and Robert Pang, but much simpler and the expected behavior is more predictable.

2025-11-13bcache: remove discard code from alloc.cColy Li
Bcache allocator initially has no free space to allocate. Firstly it does a garbage collection which is triggered by a cache device write and fills free space into ca->free[] lists. The discard happens after the free bucket is handled by garbage collection added into one of the ca->free[] lists. But normally this bucket will be allocated out very soon to requester and filled data onto it. The discard hint on this bucket LBA range doesn't help SSD control to improve internal erasure performance, and waste extra CPU cycles to issue discard bios. This patch removes the almost-useless discard code from alloc.c. Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@fnnas.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2025-11-13bcache: get rid of discard code from journalColy Li
In bcache journal there is discard functionality but almost useless in reality. Because discard happens after a journal bucket is reclaimed, and the reclaimed bucket is allocated for new journaling immediately. There is no time for underlying SSD to use the discard hint for internal data management. The discard code in bcache journal doesn't bring any performance optimization and wastes CPU cycles for issuing discard bios. Therefore this patch gits rid of it from journal.c and journal.h.

Add support for the Toradex Aquila AM69 and its Development Carrier Board. The Aquila AM69 SoM is based on the TI AM69 SoC from the Jacinto 7 family and is designed for high-end embedded computing, featuring up to 32GB of LPDDR4 and 256GB eMMC storage, extensive multimedia support (3x Quad CSI, 2x Quad DSI, DisplayPort, 5x Audio I2S/TDM), six Ethernet interfaces (1x 1G, 4x 2.5G SGMII, 1x 10G), USB 3.2 Host/DRD support, and a Wi-Fi 7/BT 5.3 module, alongside an RX8130 RTC, I2C EEPROM and Temperature Sensor, and optional TPM 2.0 module. Various nodes, inherited from the SoC dtsi, are explicitly disabled in the SoM dtsi file (`status = disabled`) even if already disabled. These nodes need to be disabled in the SoM, given that the node is not complete there, explicitly disabling it limits the dependency on the SoC dtsi allowing for refactoring without no impact on this file.
