Pull dcache busy loop updates from Al Viro: "Fix livelocks in shrink_dcache_tree() If shrink_dcache_tree() finds a dentry in the middle of being killed by another thread, it has to wait until the victim finishes dying, gets detached from the tree and ceases to pin its parent. The way we used to deal with that amounted to busy-wait; unfortunately, it's not just inefficient but can lead to reliably reproducible hard livelocks. Solved by having shrink_dentry_tree() attach a completion to such dentry, with dentry_unlist() calling complete() on all objects attached to it. With a bit of care it can be done without growing struct dentry or adding overhead in normal case" * tag 'pull-dcache-busy-wait' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: get rid of busy-waiting in shrink_dcache_tree() dcache.c: more idiomatic "positives are not allowed" sanity checks struct dentry: make ->d_u anonymous for_each_alias(): helper macro for iterating through dentries of given inode

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: - filehandle signing to defend against filehandle-guessing attacks (Benjamin Coddington) The server now appends a SipHash-2-4 MAC to each filehandle when the new "sign_fh" export option is enabled. NFSD then verifies filehandles received from clients against the expected MAC; mismatches return NFS error STALE - convert the entire NLMv4 server-side XDR layer from hand-written C to xdrgen-generated code, spanning roughly thirty patches (Chuck Lever) XDR functions are generally boilerplate code and are easy to get wrong. The goals of this conversion are improved memory safety, lower maintenance burden, and groundwork for eventual Rust code generation for these functions. - improve pNFS block/SCSI layout robustness with two related changes (Dai Ngo) SCSI persistent reservation fencing is now tracked per client and per device via an xarray, to avoid both redundant preempt operations on devices already fenced and a potential NFSD deadlock when all nfsd threads are waiting for a layout return. - scalability and infrastructure improvements Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.1 NFSD development cycle. * tag 'nfsd-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (83 commits) NFSD: Docs: clean up pnfs server timeout docs nfsd: fix comment typo in nfsxdr nfsd: fix comment typo in nfs3xdr NFSD: convert callback RPC program to per-net namespace NFSD: use per-operation statidx for callback procedures svcrdma: Use contiguous pages for RDMA Read sink buffers SUNRPC: Add svc_rqst_page_release() helper SUNRPC: xdr.h: fix all kernel-doc warnings svcrdma: Factor out WR chain linking into helper svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain svcrdma: Clean up use of rdma->sc_pd->device svcrdma: Clean up use of rdma->sc_pd->device in Receive paths svcrdma: Add fair queuing for Send Queue access SUNRPC: Optimize rq_respages allocation in svc_alloc_arg SUNRPC: Track consumed rq_pages entries svcrdma: preserve rq_next_page in svc_rdma_save_io_pages SUNRPC: Handle NULL entries in svc_rqst_release_pages SUNRPC: Allocate a separate Reply page array SUNRPC: Tighten bounds checking in svc_rqst_replace_page NFSD: Sign filehandles ...

docs: proc: document ProtectionKey in smaps

2026-04-18T07:10:55+00:00

The ProtectionKey entry was added in v4.9; back then it was x86-specific, but it now lives in generic code and applies to all architectures supporting pkeys (currently x86, power, arm64). Time to document it: add a paragraph to proc.rst about the ProtectionKey entry.

Pull ntfs resurrection from Namjae Jeon: "Ever since Kari Argillander’s 2022 report [1] regarding the state of the ntfs3 driver, I have spent the last 4 years working to provide full write support and current trends (iomap, no buffer head, folio), enhanced performance, stable maintenance, utility support including fsck for NTFS in Linux. This new implementation is built upon the clean foundation of the original read-only NTFS driver, adding: - Write support: Implemented full write support based on the classic read-only NTFS driver. Added delayed allocation to improve write performance through multi-cluster allocation and reduced fragmentation of the cluster bitmap. - iomap conversion: Switched buffered IO (reads/writes), direct IO, file extent mapping, readpages, and writepages to use iomap. - Remove buffer_head: Completely removed buffer_head usage by converting to folios. As a result, the dependency on CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD has been removed from Kconfig. - Stability improvements: The new ntfs driver passes 326 xfstests, compared to 273 for ntfs3. All tests passed by ntfs3 are a complete subset of the tests passed by this implementation. Added support for fallocate, idmapped mounts, permissions, and more. xfstests Results report: Total tests run: 787 Passed : 326 Failed : 38 Skipped : 423 Failed tests breakdown: - 34 tests require metadata journaling - 4 other tests: 094: No unwritten extent concept in NTFS on-disk format 563: cgroup v2 aware writeback accounting not supported 631: RENAME_WHITEOUT support required 787: NFS delegation test" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/da20d32b-5185-f40b-48b8-2986922d8b25@stargateuniverse.net/ [1] [ Let's see if this undead filesystem ends up being of the "Easter miracle" kind, or the "Nosferatu of filesystems" kind... ] * tag 'ntfs-for-7.1-rc1-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linkinjeon/ntfs: (46 commits) ntfs: remove redundant out-of-bound checks ntfs: add bound checking to ntfs_external_attr_find ntfs: add bound checking to ntfs_attr_find ntfs: fix ignoring unreachable code warnings ntfs: fix inconsistent indenting warnings ntfs: fix variable dereferenced before check warnings ntfs: prefer IS_ERR_OR_NULL() over manual NULL check ntfs: harden ntfs_listxattr against EA entries ntfs: harden ntfs_ea_lookup against malformed EA entries ntfs: check $EA query-length in ntfs_ea_get ntfs: validate WSL EA payload sizes ntfs: fix WSL ea restore condition ntfs: add missing newlines to pr_err() messages ntfs: fix pointer/integer casting warnings ntfs: use ->mft_no instead of ->i_ino in prints ntfs: change mft_no type to u64 ntfs: select FS_IOMAP in Kconfig ntfs: add MODULE_ALIAS_FS ntfs: reduce stack usage in ntfs_write_mft_block() ntfs: fix sysctl table registration and path ...

Pull x86 resource control updates from Borislav Petkov: - Add return value descriptions to several internal functions, addressing kernel-doc complaints - Add the x86 maintainer mailing list to the resctrl section so they are automatically included in patch submissions, and reference the applicable contribution rules document - Allow users to apply a single Capacity Bitmask to all cache domains at once using '*' as a shorthand, instead of having to specify each domain individually. This is particularly user-friendly on high core-count systems with many cache clusters - When a user provides a non-existent domain ID while configuring cache allocation, ensure the failure reason is properly reported to the user rather than silently returning an error with a misleading "ok" status * tag 'x86_cache_for_v7.1_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: fs/resctrl: Add missing return value descriptions MAINTAINERS: Update resctrl entry fs/resctrl: Add "*" shorthand to set io_alloc CBM for all domains fs/resctrl: Report invalid domain ID when parsing io_alloc_cbm
