vhost_net: fix sleeping with preempt-disabled in vhost_net_busy_poll()

2026-04-23T18:53:31+00:00

syzbot reported "sleeping function called from invalid context" in vhost_net_busy_poll(). Commit 030881372460 ("vhost_net: basic polling support") introduced a busy-poll loop and preempt_{disable,enable}() around it, where each iteration calls a sleepable function inside the loop. The purpose of disabling preemption was to keep local_clock()-based timeout accounting on a single CPU, rather than as a requirement of busy-poll itself: https://lore.kernel.org/1448435489-5949-4-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com From this perspective, migrate_disable() is sufficient here, so replace preempt_disable() with migrate_disable(), avoiding sleepable accesses from a preempt-disabled context.

vsock: add G2H fallback for CIDs not owned by H2G transport

2026-03-12T09:59:36+00:00

When no H2G transport is loaded, vsock currently routes all CIDs to the G2H transport (commit 65b422d9b61b ("vsock: forward all packets to the host when no H2G is registered"). Extend that existing behavior: when an H2G transport is loaded but does not claim a given CID, the connection falls back to G2H in the same way. This matters in environments like Nitro Enclaves, where an instance may run nested VMs via vhost-vsock (H2G) while also needing to reach sibling enclaves at higher CIDs through virtio-vsock-pci (G2H). With the old code, any CID > 2 was unconditionally routed to H2G when vhost was loaded, making those enclaves unreachable without setting VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST explicitly on every connect. Requiring every application to set VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST creates friction: tools like socat, iperf, and others would all need to learn about it. The flag was introduced 6 years ago and I am still not aware of any tool that supports it. Even if there was support, it would be cumbersome to use. The most natural experience is a single CID address space where H2G only wins for CIDs it actually owns, and everything else falls through to G2H, extending the behavior that already exists when H2G is absent. To give user space at least a hint that the kernel applied this logic, automatically set the VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST on the remote address so it can determine the path taken via getpeername(). Add a per-network namespace sysctl net.vsock.g2h_fallback (default 1). At 0 it forces strict routing: H2G always wins for CID > VMADDR_CID_HOST, or ENODEV if H2G is not loaded.

scsi: vhost-scsi: Report direction completion support

2026-03-01T02:04:03+00:00

This has vhost-scsi report that it supports direct completions. When using a worker task per queue or group of queues with fast backends then enabling direct completion and submissions increases performance 20-30% with workloads like: fio --filename=/dev/sdb --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=8K \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=$jobs As jobs matches and passes the number of vCPUs in the VM then the benefit increases. However, when using a single worker then queueing completions and submissions is best as the worker is busy handling mapping data and setting/tearing down commands.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

2026-02-22T01:09:51+00:00

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
