alloc_fdtable(): change calling conventions.

2025-08-28T14:21:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1d3b4bec3ce55e0c46cdce7d0402dbd6b4af3a3d ] First of all, tell it how many slots do we want, not which slot is wanted. It makes one caller (dup_fd()) more straightforward and doesn't harm another (expand_fdtable()). Furthermore, make it return ERR_PTR() on failure rather than returning NULL. Simplifies the callers. Simplify the size calculation, while we are at it - note that we always have slots_wanted greater than BITS_PER_LONG. What the rules boil down to is * use the smallest power of two large enough to give us that many slots * on 32bit skip 64 and 128 - the minimal capacity we want there is 256 slots (i.e. 1Kb fd array). * on 64bit don't skip anything, the minimal capacity is 128 - and we'll never be asked for 64 or less. 128 slots means 1Kb fd array, again. * on 128bit, if that ever happens, don't skip anything - we'll never be asked for 128 or less, so the fd array allocation will be at least 2Kb.

s390/hypfs: Enable limited access during lockdown

2025-08-28T14:21:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3868f910440c47cd5d158776be4ba4e2186beda7 ] When kernel lockdown is active, debugfs_locked_down() blocks access to hypfs files that register ioctl callbacks, even if the ioctl interface is not required for a function. This unnecessarily breaks userspace tools that only rely on read operations. Resolve this by registering a minimal set of file operations during lockdown, avoiding ioctl registration and preserving access for affected tooling. Note that this change restores hypfs functionality when lockdown is active from early boot (e.g. via lockdown=integrity kernel parameter), but does not apply to scenarios where lockdown is enabled dynamically while Linux is running.

s390/hypfs: Avoid unnecessary ioctl registration in debugfs

2025-08-28T14:21:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit fec7bdfe7f8694a0c39e6c3ec026ff61ca1058b9 ] Currently, hypfs registers ioctl callbacks for all debugfs files, despite only one file requiring them. This leads to unintended exposure of unused interfaces to user space and can trigger side effects such as restricted access when kernel lockdown is enabled. Restrict ioctl registration to only those files that implement ioctl functionality to avoid interface clutter and unnecessary access restrictions.

net/sched: Make cake_enqueue return NET_XMIT_CN when past buffer_limit

2025-08-28T14:21:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 15de71d06a400f7fdc15bf377a2552b0ec437cf5 ] The following setup can trigger a WARNING in htb_activate due to the condition: !cl->leaf.q->q.qlen tc qdisc del dev lo root tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: htb default 1 tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:1 \ htb rate 64bit tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:1 handle f: \ cake memlimit 1b ping -I lo -f -c1 -s64 -W0.001 127.0.0.1 This is because the low memlimit leads to a low buffer_limit, which causes packet dropping. However, cake_enqueue still returns NET_XMIT_SUCCESS, causing htb_enqueue to call htb_activate with an empty child qdisc. We should return NET_XMIT_CN when packets are dropped from the same tin and flow. I do not believe return value of NET_XMIT_CN is necessary for packet drops in the case of ack filtering, as that is meant to optimize performance, not to signal congestion.

ixgbe: xsk: resolve the negative overflow of budget in ixgbe_xmit_zc

2025-08-28T14:21:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4d4d9ef9dfee877d494e5418f68a1016ef08cad6 ] Resolve the budget negative overflow which leads to returning true in ixgbe_xmit_zc even when the budget of descs are thoroughly consumed. Before this patch, when the budget is decreased to zero and finishes sending the last allowed desc in ixgbe_xmit_zc, it will always turn back and enter into the while() statement to see if it should keep processing packets, but in the meantime it unexpectedly decreases the value again to 'unsigned int (0--)', namely, UINT_MAX. Finally, the ixgbe_xmit_zc returns true, showing 'we complete cleaning the budget'. That also means 'clean_complete = true' in ixgbe_poll. The true theory behind this is if that budget number of descs are consumed, it implies that we might have more descs to be done. So we should return false in ixgbe_xmit_zc to tell napi poll to find another chance to start polling to handle the rest of descs. On the contrary, returning true here means job done and we know we finish all the possible descs this time and we don't intend to start a new napi poll. It is apparently against our expectations. Please also see how ixgbe_clean_tx_irq() handles the problem: it uses do..while() statement to make sure the budget can be decreased to zero at most and the negative overflow never happens. The patch adds 'likely' because we rarely would not hit the loop condition since the standard budget is 256.
