Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner: "For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long, which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field for an inode. This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64. This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but 32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment. The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out carefully. With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to keep this simple" * tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.kino' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: nilfs2: fix 64-bit division operations in nilfs_bmap_find_target_in_group() EVM: add comment describing why ino field is still unsigned long vfs: remove externs from fs.h on functions modified by i_ino widening treewide: fix missed i_ino format specifier conversions ext4: fix signed format specifier in ext4_load_inode trace event treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 nilfs2: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 f2fs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 ext4: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 zonefs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 hugetlbfs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 ext2: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 cachefiles: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 vfs: widen trace event i_ino fields to u64 net: change sock.sk_ino and sock_i_ino() to u64 audit: widen ino fields to u64 vfs: widen inode hash/lookup functions to u64

fs: afs: restore mmap_prepare implementation

2026-04-05T20:53:43+00:00

Commit 9d5403b1036c ("fs: convert most other generic_file_*mmap() users to .mmap_prepare()") updated AFS to use the mmap_prepare callback in favour of the deprecated mmap callback. However, it did not account for the fact that mmap_prepare is called pre-merge, and may then be merged, nor that mmap_prepare can fail to map due to an out of memory error. This change was therefore since reverted. Both of those are cases in which we should not be incrementing a reference count. With the newly added vm_ops->mapped callback available, we can simply defer this operation to that callback which is only invoked once the mapping is successfully in place (but not yet visible to userspace as the mmap and VMA write locks are held). This allows us to once again reimplement the .mmap_prepare implementation for this file system. Therefore add afs_mapped() to implement this callback for AFS, and remove the code doing so in afs_mmap_prepare(). Also update afs_vm_open(), afs_vm_close() and afs_vm_map_pages() to be consistent in how the vnode is accessed.

fs: afs: revert mmap_prepare() change

2026-04-05T20:53:43+00:00

Partially reverts commit 9d5403b1036c ("fs: convert most other generic_file_*mmap() users to .mmap_prepare()"). This is because the .mmap invocation establishes a refcount, but .mmap_prepare is called at a point where a merge or an allocation failure might happen after the call, which would leak the refcount increment. Functionality is being added to permit the use of .mmap_prepare in this case, but in the interim, we need to fix this.

fs: remove unncessary pagevec.h includes

Remove unused pagevec.h includes from .c files. These were found with the following command: grep -rl '#include.*pagevec\.h' --include='*.c' | while read f; do grep -qE 'PAGEVEC_SIZE|folio_batch' "$f" || echo "$f" done There are probably more removal candidates in .h files, but those are more complex to analyze.

mm: remove stray references to struct pagevec

2026-04-05T20:53:06+00:00

Patch series "mm: Remove stray references to pagevec", v2. struct pagevec was removed in commit 1e0877d58b1e ("mm: remove struct pagevec"). Remove any stray references to it and rename relevant files and macros accordingly. While at it, remove unnecessary #includes of pagevec.h (now folio_batch.h) in .c files. There are probably more of these that could be removed in .h files, but those are more complex to verify. This patch (of 4): struct pagevec was removed in commit 1e0877d58b1e ("mm: remove struct pagevec"). Remove remaining forward declarations and change __folio_batch_release()'s declaration to match its definition.

rxrpc, afs: Fix missing error pointer check after rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer()

2026-03-07T01:49:52+00:00

rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() can also return error pointers in addition to NULL, so just checking for NULL is not sufficient. Fix this by: (1) Changing rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() to return -ENOMEM rather than NULL on allocation failure. (2) Making the callers in afs use IS_ERR() and PTR_ERR() to pass on the error code returned.

treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64

2026-03-06T13:31:28+00:00

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

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.
