Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion.

The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *".

This may be substantially faster since there are generally much less inodes with fsnotify marks than all inodes. It also removes one use of sb->s_inodes list which we strive to ultimately remove.

We will use this list when the superblock is getting shutdown to properly clean up all the inode marks instead of relying on scanning all inodes in the superblock which can get rather slow.

Users with no read access to a file but with read access to its parent directory can still stat the file and see if it was accessed/modified via atime/mtime change. The same is not true for special files (e.g. /dev/null). Users will not generally observe atime/mtime changes when other users read/write to special files, only when someone sets atime/mtime via utimensat(). Align fsnotify events with this stat behavior and do not generate ACCESS/MODIFY events to parent watchers on read/write of special files. The events are still generated to parent watchers on utimensat(). This closes some side-channels that could be possibly used for information exfiltration [1].

They simplify the common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install() that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires cumbersome cleanup paths. FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately: fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device)); if (fd < 0) vfio_device_put_registration(device); return fd; FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or additional work before publishing: FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file); if (fdf.err) { fput(sync_file->file); return fdf.err; } data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf); if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data))) return -EFAULT; return fd_publish(fdf); The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE() encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called, both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller. I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.fd_prepare.fs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (42 commits) io_uring: convert io_create_mock_file() to FD_PREPARE() file: convert replace_fd() to FD_PREPARE() vfio: convert vfio_group_ioctl_get_device_fd() to FD_ADD() tty: convert ptm_open_peer() to FD_ADD() ntsync: convert ntsync_obj_get_fd() to FD_PREPARE() media: convert media_request_alloc() to FD_PREPARE() hv: convert mshv_ioctl_create_partition() to FD_ADD() gpio: convert linehandle_create() to FD_PREPARE() pseries: port papr_rtas_setup_file_interface() to FD_ADD() pseries: convert papr_platform_dump_create_handle() to FD_ADD() spufs: convert spufs_gang_open() to FD_PREPARE() papr-hvpipe: convert papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle() to FD_PREPARE() spufs: convert spufs_context_open() to FD_PREPARE() net/socket: convert __sys_accept4_file() to FD_ADD() net/socket: convert sock_map_fd() to FD_ADD() net/kcm: convert kcm_ioctl() to FD_PREPARE() net/handshake: convert handshake_nl_accept_doit() to FD_PREPARE() secretmem: convert memfd_secret() to FD_ADD() memfd: convert memfd_create() to FD_ADD() bpf: convert bpf_token_create() to FD_PREPARE() ... 2025-12-01T17:02:34+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2025-12-01T17:02:34+00:00 urn:sha1:9368f0f9419cde028a6e58331065900ff089bc36 Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Hide inode->i_state behind accessors.
