Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the lock in anon_pipe_write(). anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves 21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to selftests. - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr() helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC). - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program that was merged into systemd. - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio conversions and iomap migration. Fixes: - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo() callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning. - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs, qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them; the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the minix v3 block size fails. - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API. - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg() from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID path. - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT. - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns() where the tests should SKIP. - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n. - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state. - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in validate_coredump_safety(). - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in __iomap_write_begin(). - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc. Cleanups: - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin() instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x prefixes. - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc() across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2, isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page allocator calls with kmalloc(). - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence. - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path() into start_removing_path(). - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(). - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases. - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free() via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags. - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the allocation against multiplication overflow. - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once. - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd(). - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc(). - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts(). - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code. - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix assorted spelling mistakes" * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (73 commits) backing-file: fix backing_file_open() kerneldoc parameter iomap: pass the correct len to fserror_report_io in __iomap_write_begin vfs: add FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS filelock: fix break_lease() stub signature for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flags bpf: add bpf_real_inode() kfunc fs/read_write: Do not export __kernel_write() to the entire world libfs: drop redundant SB_I_NOEXEC/SB_I_NODEV in init_pseudo() callers libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo() mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API fs/fcntl: fix SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling selftests/pipe: add pipe_bench microbenchmark fs/pipe: pre-allocate pages outside pipe->mutex in anon_pipe_write fs: retire stale comment in fget_task_next() fs: fix spelling mistakes in comment bfs: replace get_zeroed_page() with kzalloc() binfmt_misc: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() configfs: replace __get_free_pages() with kzalloc() fs/namespace: use __getname() to allocate mntpath buffer fs/select: replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() ...

Pull vfs casefolding updates from Christian Brauner: "This exposes the case folding behavior of local filesystems so that file servers - nfsd, ksmbd, and user space file servers - can report the actual behavior to clients instead of guessing. Filesystems report case-insensitive and case-nonpreserving behavior via new file_kattr flags in their fileattr_get implementations. fat, exfat, ntfs3, hfs, hfsplus, xfs, cifs, nfs, vboxsf, and isofs are wired up. Local filesystems that are not explicitly handled default to the usual POSIX behavior of case-sensitive and case-preserving. nfsd uses this to report case folding via NFSv3 PATHCONF and to implement the NFSv4 FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE and FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING attributes - both have been part of the NFS protocols for decades to support clients on non-POSIX systems - and ksmbd reports it via FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION. Exposing the information through the fileattr uapi covers user space file servers. The immediate motivation is interoperability: Windows NFS clients hard-require servers to report case-insensitivity for Win32 applications to work correctly, and a client that knows the server is case-insensitive can avoid issuing multiple LOOKUP/READDIR requests searching for case variants. The Linux NFS client already grew support for case-insensitive shares years ago in support of the Hammerspace NFS server - negative dentry caching must be disabled (a lookup for "FILE.TXT" failing must not cache a negative entry when "file.txt" exists) and directory change invalidation must drop cached case-folded name variants. Such servers often operate in multi-protocol environments where a single file service instance caters to both NFS and SMB clients, and nfsd needs to report case folding properly to participate as a first-class citizen there. A follow-up series brings fixes for the initial work: the nfsd case-info probe now uses kernel credentials, maps -ESTALE to NFS3ERR_STALE, and has its cost capped across READDIR entries; the nfs client avoids transiently zeroed case capability bits during the probe and skips the pathconf probe when neither field is consumed; the FS_CASEFOLD_FL semantics are clarified in the UAPI header; and the tools UAPI headers are synced" * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.casefold' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (22 commits) nfsd: Cap case-folding probe cost across READDIR entries nfsd: Map -ESTALE from case probe to NFS3ERR_STALE nfsd: Use kernel credentials for case-info probe fs: Clarify FS_CASEFOLD_FL semantics in UAPI header nfs: Skip pathconf probe when neither field is consumed nfs: Avoid transient zeroed case capability bits during probe tools headers UAPI: Sync case-sensitivity flags from linux/fs.h ksmbd: Report filesystem case sensitivity via FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION nfsd: Implement NFSv4 FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE and FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING nfsd: Report export case-folding via NFSv3 PATHCONF isofs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity vboxsf: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity nfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity cifs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity xfs: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get hfsplus: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get hfs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity ntfs3: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity exfat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity ...

isofs: bound Rock Ridge symlink components to the SL record

2026-06-09T10:20:07+00:00

get_symlink_chunk() and the SL handling in parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() walk the variable-length components of a Rock Ridge "SL" (symbolic link) record. Each component is a two-byte header (flags, len) followed by len bytes of text, so it occupies slp->len + 2 bytes. Both loops read slp->len and advance to the next component, and get_symlink_chunk() additionally does memcpy(rpnt, slp->text, slp->len), but neither checks that the component lies within the SL record before dereferencing it. A crafted SL record whose component declares a len that runs past the record (rr->len) therefore triggers an out-of-bounds read of up to 255 bytes. When the record sits at the tail of its backing buffer - for example a small kmalloc()ed continuation block reached through a CE record - the read crosses the allocation; get_symlink_chunk() then copies the out-of-bounds bytes into the symlink body returned to user space by readlink(), disclosing adjacent kernel memory. ISO 9660 images are routinely mounted from untrusted removable media - desktop environments auto-mount them (e.g. via udisks2) without CAP_SYS_ADMIN - so the record contents are attacker-controlled. Reject any component that does not fit in the remaining record bytes before using it. In get_symlink_chunk() return NULL, like the existing output-buffer (plimit) checks, so a malformed record makes readlink() fail with -EIO rather than silently returning a truncated target; in parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() stop the inode-size walk.

isofs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity

2026-05-11T14:50:30+00:00

Upper layers such as NFSD need a way to query whether a filesystem handles filenames in a case-sensitive manner so they can provide correct semantics to remote clients. Without this information, NFS exports of ISO 9660 filesystems cannot advertise their filename case behavior. Implement isofs_fileattr_get() to report ISO 9660 case handling behavior. The 'check=r' (relaxed) mount option enables case-insensitive lookups and is reported via FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD. By default, Joliet extensions operate in relaxed mode while plain ISO 9660 uses strict (case-sensitive) mode. Plain ISO 9660 names on the medium are uppercase. When neither Rock Ridge nor Joliet is in effect, the default 'map=n' option (and 'map=a') routes lookup and readdir through isofs_name_translate(), which forces A-Z to a-z. The names visible to userspace then differ in case from the on-disc form, so report FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING in that configuration. Rock Ridge and Joliet both deliver names as authored, and 'map=o' emits the raw on-disc name unchanged, so those configurations remain case-preserving. Casefolding is a directory property, and the in-tree consumers (NFSD, ksmbd) issue the query against a directory: NFSD walks to the parent for non-directory dentries before calling vfs_fileattr_get(), and ksmbd reports per-share attributes from the share root. Wire .fileattr_get only on isofs_dir_inode_operations. The CASEFOLD flag is set in both fa->fsx_xflags and fa->flags so FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_GETFLAGS agree.

isofs: validate block number from NFS file handle in isofs_export_iget

2026-04-20T14:54:25+00:00

isofs_fh_to_dentry() and isofs_fh_to_parent() pass an attacker- controlled block number (ifid->block or ifid->parent_block) from the NFS file handle to isofs_export_iget(), which only rejects block == 0 before calling isofs_iget() and ultimately sb_bread(). A crafted file handle with fh_len sufficient to pass the check added by commit 0405d4b63d08 ("isofs: Prevent the use of too small fid") can still drive the server to read any in-range block on the backing device as if it were an iso_directory_record. That earlier fix was assigned CVE-2025-37780. sb_bread() on an out-of-range block returns NULL cleanly via the EIO path, so there is no memory-safety violation. For in-range reads of adjacent-partition data on the same block device, the unrelated bytes end up in iso_inode_info fields that reach the NFS client as dentry metadata. The deployment surface (isofs exported over NFS from loop-mounted images) is narrow and requires an authenticated NFS peer, but the malformed-file-handle class is reportable as hardening next to the existing CVE-2025-37780 fix. Reject block >= ISOFS_SB(sb)->s_nzones in isofs_export_iget() so the check covers both isofs_fh_to_dentry() and isofs_fh_to_parent() call sites with a single line.
