sched_ext: Fix stale direct dispatch state in ddsp_dsq_id

2026-04-11T12:26:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7e0ffb72de8aa3b25989c2d980e81b829c577010 ] @p->scx.ddsp_dsq_id can be left set (non-SCX_DSQ_INVALID) triggering a spurious warning in mark_direct_dispatch() when the next wakeup's ops.select_cpu() calls scx_bpf_dsq_insert(), such as: WARNING: kernel/sched/ext.c:1273 at scx_dsq_insert_commit+0xcd/0x140 The root cause is that ddsp_dsq_id was only cleared in dispatch_enqueue(), which is not reached in all paths that consume or cancel a direct dispatch verdict. Fix it by clearing it at the right places: - direct_dispatch(): cache the direct dispatch state in local variables and clear it before dispatch_enqueue() on the synchronous path. For the deferred path, the direct dispatch state must remain set until process_ddsp_deferred_locals() consumes them. - process_ddsp_deferred_locals(): cache the dispatch state in local variables and clear it before calling dispatch_to_local_dsq(), which may migrate the task to another rq. - do_enqueue_task(): clear the dispatch state on the enqueue path (local/global/bypass fallbacks), where the direct dispatch verdict is ignored. - dequeue_task_scx(): clear the dispatch state after dispatch_dequeue() to handle both the deferred dispatch cancellation and the holding_cpu race, covering all cases where a pending direct dispatch is cancelled. - scx_disable_task(): clear the direct dispatch state when transitioning a task out of the current scheduler. Waking tasks may have had the direct dispatch state set by the outgoing scheduler's ops.select_cpu() and then been queued on a wake_list via ttwu_queue_wakelist(), when SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP is set. Such tasks are not on the runqueue and are not iterated by scx_bypass(), so their direct dispatch state won't be cleared. Without this clear, any subsequent SCX scheduler that tries to direct dispatch the task will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in mark_direct_dispatch().

sched_ext: Refactor do_enqueue_task() local and global DSQ paths

[ Upstream commit 3546119f18647d7ddbba579737d8a222b430cb1c ] The local and global DSQ enqueue paths in do_enqueue_task() share the same slice refill logic. Factor out the common code into a shared enqueue label. This makes adding new enqueue cases easier. No functional changes.

mm/memory: fix PMD/PUD checks in follow_pfnmap_start()

2026-04-11T12:26:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit ffef67b93aa352b34e6aeba3d52c19a63885409a ] follow_pfnmap_start() suffers from two problems: (1) We are not re-fetching the pmd/pud after taking the PTL Therefore, we are not properly stabilizing what the lock actually protects. If there is concurrent zapping, we would indicate to the caller that we found an entry, however, that entry might already have been invalidated, or contain a different PFN after taking the lock. Properly use pmdp_get() / pudp_get() after taking the lock. (2) pmd_leaf() / pud_leaf() are not well defined on non-present entries pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() could wrongly trigger on non-present entries. There is no real guarantee that pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() returns something reasonable on non-present entries. Most architectures indeed either perform a present check or make it work by smart use of flags. However, for example loongarch checks the _PAGE_HUGE flag in pmd_leaf(), and always sets the _PAGE_HUGE flag in __swp_entry_to_pmd(). Whereby pmd_trans_huge() explicitly checks pmd_present(), pmd_leaf() does not do that. Let's check pmd_present()/pud_present() before assuming "the is a present PMD leaf" when spotting pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf(), like other page table handling code that traverses user page tables does. Given that non-present PMD entries are likely rare in VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP, (1) is likely more relevant than (2). It is questionable how often (1) would actually trigger, but let's CC stable to be sure. This was found by code inspection.

scsi: target: tcm_loop: Drain commands in target_reset handler

2026-04-11T12:26:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1333eee56cdf3f0cf67c6ab4114c2c9e0a952026 ] tcm_loop_target_reset() violates the SCSI EH contract: it returns SUCCESS without draining any in-flight commands. The SCSI EH documentation (scsi_eh.rst) requires that when a reset handler returns SUCCESS the driver has made lower layers "forget about timed out scmds" and is ready for new commands. Every other SCSI LLD (virtio_scsi, mpt3sas, ipr, scsi_debug, mpi3mr) enforces this by draining or completing outstanding commands before returning SUCCESS. Because tcm_loop_target_reset() doesn't drain, the SCSI EH reuses in-flight scsi_cmnd structures for recovery commands (e.g. TUR) while the target core still has async completion work queued for the old se_cmd. The memset in queuecommand zeroes se_lun and lun_ref_active, causing transport_lun_remove_cmd() to skip its percpu_ref_put(). The leaked LUN reference prevents transport_clear_lun_ref() from completing, hanging configfs LUN unlink forever in D-state: INFO: task rm:264 blocked for more than 122 seconds. rm D 0 264 258 0x00004000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x3d0/0x8e0 schedule+0x36/0xf0 transport_clear_lun_ref+0x78/0x90 [target_core_mod] core_tpg_remove_lun+0x28/0xb0 [target_core_mod] target_fabric_port_unlink+0x50/0x60 [target_core_mod] configfs_unlink+0x156/0x1f0 [configfs] vfs_unlink+0x109/0x290 do_unlinkat+0x1d5/0x2d0 Fix this by making tcm_loop_target_reset() actually drain commands: 1. Issue TMR_LUN_RESET via tcm_loop_issue_tmr() to drain all commands that the target core knows about (those not yet CMD_T_COMPLETE). 2. Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to iterate all started requests and flush_work() on each se_cmd — this drains any deferred completion work for commands that already had CMD_T_COMPLETE set before the TMR (which the TMR skips via __target_check_io_state()). This is the same pattern used by mpi3mr, scsi_debug, and libsas to drain outstanding commands during reset.

scsi: target: file: Use kzalloc_flex for aio_cmd

net: correctly handle tunneled traffic on IPV6_CSUM GSO fallback

2026-04-11T12:26:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit c4336a07eb6b2526dc2b62928b5104b41a7f81f5 ] NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM only advertises support for checksum offload of packets without IPv6 extension headers. Packets with extension headers must fall back onto software checksumming. Since TSO depends on checksum offload, those must revert to GSO. The below commit introduces that fallback. It always checks network header length. For tunneled packets, the inner header length must be checked instead. Extend the check accordingly. A special case is tunneled packets without inner IP protocol. Such as RFC 6951 SCTP in UDP. Those are not standard IPv6 followed by transport header either, so also must revert to the software GSO path.

net: mana: fix use-after-free in add_adev() error path

2026-04-11T12:26:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit c4ea7d8907cf72b259bf70bd8c2e791e1c4ff70f ] If auxiliary_device_add() fails, add_adev() jumps to add_fail and calls auxiliary_device_uninit(adev). The auxiliary device has its release callback set to adev_release(), which frees the containing struct mana_adev. Since adev is embedded in struct mana_adev, the subsequent fall-through to init_fail and access to adev->id may result in a use-after-free. Fix this by saving the allocated auxiliary device id in a local variable before calling auxiliary_device_add(), and use that saved id in the cleanup path after auxiliary_device_uninit().
