Implement pci_find_capability(), pci_find_ext_capability(), and dwc, dwc endpoint, and cadence capability search interfaces with them (Hans Zhang) - Leave parent unit address 0 in 'interrupt-map' so that when we build devicetree nodes to describe PCI functions that contain multiple peripherals, we can build this property even when interrupt controllers lack 'reg' properties (Lorenzo Pieralisi) - Add a Xeon 6 quirk to disable Extended Tags and limit Max Read Request Size to 128B to avoid a performance issue (Ilpo Järvinen) - Add sysfs 'serial_number' file to expose the Device Serial Number (Matthew Wood) - Fix pci_acpi_preserve_config() memory leak (Nirmoy Das) Resource management: - Align m68k pcibios_enable_device() with other arches (Ilpo Järvinen) - Remove sparc pcibios_enable_device() implementations that don't do anything beyond what pci_enable_resources() does (Ilpo Järvinen) - Remove mips pcibios_enable_resources() and use pci_enable_resources() instead (Ilpo Järvinen) - Clean up bridge window sizing and assignment (Ilpo Järvinen), including: - Leave non-claimed bridge windows disabled - Enable bridges even if a window wasn't assigned because not all windows are required by downstream devices - Preserve bridge window type when releasing the resource, since the type is needed for reassignment - Consolidate selection of bridge windows into two new interfaces, pbus_select_window() and pbus_select_window_for_type(), so this is done consistently - Compute bridge window start and end earlier to avoid logging stale information MSI: - Add quirk to disable MSI on RDC PCI to PCIe bridges (Marcos Del Sol Vives) Error handling: - Align AER with EEH by allowing drivers to request a Bus Reset on Non-Fatal Errors (in addition to the reset on Fatal Errors that we already do) (Lukas Wunner) - If error recovery fails, emit FAILED_RECOVERY uevents for the devices, not for the bridge leading to them. This makes them correspond to BEGIN_RECOVERY uevents (Lukas Wunner) - Align AER with EEH by calling err_handler.error_detected() callbacks to notify drivers if error recovery fails (Lukas Wunner) - Align AER with EEH by restoring device error_state to pci_channel_io_normal before the err_handler.slot_reset() callback. This is earlier than before the err_handler.resume() callback (Lukas Wunner) - Emit a BEGIN_RECOVERY uevent when driver's err_handler.error_detected() requests a reset, as well as when it says recovery is complete or can be done without a reset (Niklas Schnelle) - Align s390 with AER and EEH by emitting uevents during error recovery (Niklas Schnelle) - Align EEH with AER and s390 by emitting BEGIN_RECOVERY, SUCCESSFUL_RECOVERY, or FAILED_RECOVERY uevents depending on the result of err_handler.error_detected() (Niklas Schnelle) - Fix a NULL pointer dereference in aer_ratelimit() when ACPI GHES error information identifies a device without an AER Capability (Breno Leitao) - Update error decoding and TLP Log printing for new errors in current PCIe base spec (Lukas Wunner) - Update error recovery documentation to match the current code and use consistent nomenclature (Lukas Wunner) ASPM: - Enable all ClockPM and ASPM states for devicetree platforms, since there's typically no firmware that enables ASPM This is a risky change that may uncover hardware or configuration defects at boot-time rather than when users enable ASPM via sysfs later. Booting with "pcie_aspm=off" prevents this enabling (Manivannan Sadhasivam) - Remove the qcom code that enabled ASPM (Manivannan Sadhasivam) Power management: - If a device has already been disconnected, e.g., by a hotplug removal, don't bother trying to resume it to D0 when detaching the driver. This avoids annoying "Unable to change power state from D3cold to D0" messages (Mario Limonciello) - Ensure devices are powered up before config reads for 'max_link_width', 'current_link_speed', 'current_link_width', 'secondary_bus_number', and 'subordinate_bus_number' sysfs files. This prevents using invalid data (~0) in drivers or lspci and, depending on how the PCIe controller reports errors, may avoid error interrupts or crashes (Brian Norris) Virtualization: - Add rescan/remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV, which avoids list corruption on s390, where disabling SR-IOV also generates hotplug events (Niklas Schnelle) Peer-to-peer DMA: - Free struct p2p_pgmap, not a member within it, in the pci_p2pdma_add_resource() error path (Sungho Kim) Endpoint framework: - Document sysfs interface for BAR assignment of vNTB endpoint functions (Jerome Brunet) -

Restore inbound translation when disabling doorbell so the endpoint doorbell test case can be run more than once (Niklas Cassel) - Avoid a NULL pointer dereference when releasing DMA channels in endpoint DMA test case (Shin'ichiro Kawasaki) - Convert tegra194 interrupt number to MSI vector to fix endpoint Kselftest MSI_TEST test case (Niklas Cassel) - Reset tegra194 BARs when running in endpoint mode so the BAR tests don't overwrite the ATU settings in BAR4 (Niklas Cassel) - Handle errors in tegra194 BPMP transactions so we don't mistakenly skip future PERST# assertion (Vidya Sagar) AMD MDB PCIe controller driver: - Update DT binding example to separate PERST# to a Root Port stanza to make multiple Root Ports possible in the future (Sai Krishna Musham) - Add driver support for PERST# being described in a Root Port stanza, falling back to the host bridge if not found there (Sai Krishna Musham) Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver: - Enable the 3.3V Vaux supply if available so devices can request wakeup with either Beacon or WAKE# (Richard Zhu) MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver: - Add optional sys clock ready time setting to avoid sys_clk_rdy signal glitching in MT6991 and MT8196 (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno) - Add DT binding and driver support for MT6991 and MT8196 (AngeloGioacchino Del Regno) NVIDIA Tegra PCIe controller driver: - When asserting PERST#, disable the controller instead of mistakenly disabling the PLL twice (Nagarjuna Kristam) - Convert struct tegra_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock nesting error (Marek Vasut) Qualcomm PCIe controller driver: - Select PCI Power Control Slot driver so slot voltage rails can be turned on/off if described in Root Port devicetree node (Qiang Yu) - Parse only PCI bridge child nodes in devicetree, skipping unrelated nodes such as OPP (Operating Performance Points), which caused probe failures (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Add 8.0 GT/s and 32.0 GT/s equalization settings (Ziyue Zhang) - Consolidate Root Port 'phy' and 'reset' properties in struct qcom_pcie_port, regardless of whether we got them from the Root Port node or the host bridge node (Manivannan Sadhasivam) - Fetch and map the ELBI register space in the DWC core rather than in each driver individually (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Enable ECAM mechanism in DWC core by setting up iATU with 'CFG Shift Feature' and use this in the qcom driver (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Add SM8750 compatible to qcom,pcie-sm8550.yaml (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru) - Update qcom,pcie-x1e80100.yaml to allow fifth PCIe host on Qualcomm Glymur, which is compatible with X1E80100 but doesn't have the cnoc_sf_axi clock (Qiang Yu) Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver: - Fix a typo that prevented correct PHY initialization (Marek Vasut) - Add a missing 1ms delay after PWR reset assertion as required by the V4H manual (Marek Vasut) - Assure reset has completed before DBI access to avoid SError (Marek Vasut) - Fix inverted PHY initialization check, which sometimes led to timeouts and failure to start the controller (Marek Vasut) - Pass the correct IRQ domain to generic_handle_domain_irq() to fix a regression when converting to msi_create_parent_irq_domain() (Claudiu Beznea) - Drop the spinlock protecting the PMSR register - it's no longer required since pci_lock already serializes accesses (Marek Vasut) - Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock to raw spinlock to avoid a lock nesting error (Marek Vasut) SOPHGO PCIe controller driver: - Check for existence of struct cdns_pcie.ops before using it to allow Cadence drivers that don't need to supply ops (Chen Wang) - Add DT binding and driver for the SOPHGO SG2042 PCIe controller (Chen Wang) STMicroelectronics STM32MP25 PCIe controller driver: - Update pinctrl documentation of initial states and use in runtime suspend/resume (Christian Bruel) - Add pinctrl_pm_select_init_state() for use by stm32 driver, which needs it during resume (Christian Bruel) - Add devicetree bindings and drivers for the STMicroelectronics STM32MP25 in host and endpoint modes (Christian Bruel) Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver: - Add support for x16 in devicetree 'num-lanes' property (Konrad Dybcio) - Verify that if DT specifies a single IRQ for all eDMA channels, it is named 'dma' (Niklas Cassel) TI J721E PCIe driver: - Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() so driver can be autoloaded (Siddharth Vadapalli) - Power controller off before configuring the glue layer so the controller latches the correct values on power-on (Siddharth Vadapalli) TI Keystone PCIe controller driver: - Use devm_request_irq() so 'ks-pcie-error-irq' is freed when driver exits with error (Siddharth Vadapalli) - Add Peripheral Virtualization Unit (PVU), which restricts DMA from PCIe devices to specific regions of host memory, to the ti,am65 binding (Jan Kiszka) Xilinx NWL PCIe controller driver: - Clear bootloader E_ECAM_CONTROL before merging in the new driver value to avoid writing invalid values (Jani Nurminen)" * tag 'pci-v6.18-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pci/pci: (141 commits) PCI/AER: Avoid NULL pointer dereference in aer_ratelimit() MAINTAINERS: Add entry for ST STM32MP25 PCIe drivers PCI: stm32-ep: Add PCIe Endpoint support for STM32MP25 dt-bindings: PCI: Add STM32MP25 PCIe Endpoint bindings PCI: stm32: Add PCIe host support for STM32MP25 PCI: xilinx-nwl: Fix ECAM programming PCI: j721e: Fix incorrect error message in probe() PCI: keystone: Use devm_request_irq() to free "ks-pcie-error-irq" on exit dt-bindings: PCI: qcom,pcie-x1e80100: Set clocks minItems for the fifth Glymur PCIe Controller PCI: dwc: Support 16-lane operation PCI: Add lockdep assertion in pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() PCI/IOV: Add PCI rescan-remove locking when enabling/disabling SR-IOV PCI: rcar-host: Convert struct rcar_msi mask_lock into raw spinlock PCI: tegra194: Rename 'root_bus' to 'root_port_bus' in tegra_pcie_downstream_dev_to_D0() PCI: tegra: Convert struct tegra_msi mask_lock into raw spinlock PCI: rcar-gen4: Fix inverted break condition in PHY initialization PCI: rcar-gen4: Assure reset occurs before DBI access PCI: rcar-gen4: Add missing 1ms delay after PWR reset assertion PCI: Set up bridge resources earlier PCI: rcar-host: Drop PMSR spinlock ... 2025-10-06T17:22:48+00:00 Cédric Le Goater clg@redhat.com 2025-09-18T12:19:28+00:00 urn:sha1:451bb96328981808463405d436bd58de16dd967d A debugfs directory was recently added for VFIO devices.

Loads of different stuff in here, it was a busy development cycle in lots of different subsystems, with over 27k new lines added to the tree. Included in here are: - IIO updates including new drivers, reworking of existing apis, and other goodness in the sensor subsystems - MEI driver updates and additions - NVMEM driver updates - slimbus removal for an unused driver and some other minor updates - coresight driver updates and additions - MHI driver updates - comedi driver updates and fixes - extcon driver updates - interconnect driver additions - eeprom driver updates and fixes - minor UIO driver updates - tiny W1 driver updates But the majority of new code is in the rust bindings and additions, which includes: - misc driver rust binding updates for read/write support, we can now write "normal" misc drivers in rust fully, and the sample driver shows how this can be done. - Initial framework for USB driver rust bindings, which are disabled for now in the build, due to limited support, but coming in through this tree due to dependencies on other rust binding changes that were in here. I'll be enabling these back on in the build in the usb.git tree after -rc1 is out so that developers can continue to work on these in linux-next over the next development cycle. - Android Binder driver implemented in Rust. This is the big one, and was driving a huge majority of the rust binding work over the past years. Right now there are two binder drivers in the kernel, selected only at build time as to which one to use as binder wants to be included in the system at boot time. The binder C maintainers all agreed on this, as eventually, they want the C code to be removed from the tree, but it will take a few releases to get there while both are maintained to ensure that the rust implementation is fully stable and compliant with the existing userspace apis.

First, it sets hash-based file name lookup as the default method to improve performance, while retaining an option to fall back to a linear lookup. Second, it resolves a persistent issue with the 'checkpoint=enable' feature.

This improves UDP RX performance by an additional 50%, even more under extreme conditions - Add support for PSP encryption of TCP connections; this mechanism has some similarities with IPsec and TLS, but offers superior HW offloads capabilities - Ongoing work to support Accurate ECN for TCP. AccECN allows more than one congestion notification signal per RTT and is a building block for Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S) - Reorganize the TCP socket binary layout for data locality, reducing the number of touched cachelines in the fastpath - Refactor skb deferral free to better scale on large multi-NUMA hosts, this improves TCP and UDP RX performances significantly on such HW - Increase the default socket memory buffer limits from 256K to 4M to better fit modern link speeds - Improve handling of setups with a large number of nexthop, making dump operating scaling linearly and avoiding unneeded synchronize_rcu() on delete - Improve bridge handling of VLAN FDB, storing a single entry per bridge instead of one entry per port; this makes the dump order of magnitude faster on large switches - Restore IP ID correctly for encapsulated packets at GSO segmentation time, allowing GRO to merge packets in more scenarios - Improve netfilter matching performance on large sets - Improve MPTCP receive path performance by leveraging recently introduced core infrastructure (skb deferral free) and adopting recent TCP autotuning changes - Allow bridges to redirect to a backup port when the bridge port is administratively down - Introduce MPTCP 'laminar' endpoint that con be used only once per connection and simplify common MPTCP setups -
