Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "pid: make sub-init creation retryable" (Oleg Nesterov) Make creation of init in a new namespace more robust by clearing away some historical cruft which is no longer needed. Also some documentation fixups - "selftests/fchmodat2: Error handling and general" (Mark Brown) Fix and a cleanup for the fchmodat2() syscall selftest - "lib: polynomial: Move to math/ and clean up" (Andy Shevchenko) - "hung_task: Provide runtime reset interface for hung task detector" (Aaron Tomlin) Give administrators the ability to zero out /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count - "tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers from tools/include/uapi" (Thomas Weißschuh) Teach getdelays to use the in-kernel UAPI headers rather than the system-provided ones - "watchdog/hardlockup: Improvements to hardlockup" (Mayank Rungta) Several cleanups and fixups to the hardlockup detector code and its documentation - "lib/bch: fix undefined behavior from signed left-shifts" (Josh Law) A couple of small/theoretical fixes in the bch code - "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()" (Junrui Luo) - "cleanup the RAID5 XOR library" (Christoph Hellwig) A quite far-reaching cleanup to this code. I can't do better than to quote Christoph: "The XOR library used for the RAID5 parity is a bit of a mess right now. The main file sits in crypto/ despite not being cryptography and not using the crypto API, with the generic implementations sitting in include/asm-generic and the arch implementations sitting in an asm/ header in theory. The latter doesn't work for many cases, so architectures often build the code directly into the core kernel, or create another module for the architecture code. Change this to a single module in lib/ that also contains the architecture optimizations, similar to the library work Eric Biggers has done for the CRC and crypto libraries later. After that it changes to better calling conventions that allow for smarter architecture implementations (although none is contained here yet), and uses static_call to avoid indirection function call overhead" - "lib/list_sort: Clean up list_sort() scheduling workarounds" (Kuan-Wei Chiu) Clean up this library code by removing a hacky thing which was added for UBIFS, which UBIFS doesn't actually need - "Fix bugs in extract_iter_to_sg()" (Christian Ehrhardt) Fix a few bugs in the scatterlist code, add in-kernel tests for the now-fixed bugs and fix a leak in the test itself - "kdump: Enable LUKS-encrypted dump target support in ARM64 and PowerPC" (Coiby Xu) Enable support of the LUKS-encrypted device dump target on arm64 and powerpc - "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks" (Joseph Qi) Cleanup, simplify, and make more robust ocfs2's validation of extent list fields (Kernel test robot loves mounting corrupted fs images!) * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-04-15-04-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (127 commits) ocfs2: validate group add input before caching ocfs2: validate bg_bits during freefrag scan ocfs2: fix listxattr handling when the buffer is full doc: watchdog: fix typos etc update Sean's email address ocfs2: use get_random_u32() where appropriate ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion ocfs2: remove redundant l_next_free_rec check in __ocfs2_find_path() ocfs2: validate extent block list fields during block read ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read ocfs2: fix use-after-free in ocfs2_fault() when VM_FAULT_RETRY ocfs2: handle invalid dinode in ocfs2_group_extend .get_maintainer.ignore: add Askar ocfs2: validate bg_list extent bounds in discontig groups checkpatch: exclude forward declarations of const structs tools/accounting: handle truncated taskstats netlink messages taskstats: set version in TGID exit notifications ocfs2/heartbeat: fix slot mapping rollback leaks on error paths arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel ...

ocfs2: remove empty extent list check in ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec()

2026-04-15T09:15:02+00:00

The full extent list check is introduced by commit 44acc46d182f, which is to avoid NULL pointer dereference if a dirent is not found. Reworking the error message to not reference rec. Instead, report major_hash being looked up and l_next_free_rec, which naturally covers both failure cases (empty extent list and no matching record) without needing a separate l_next_free_rec == 0 guard.

ocfs2: validate dx_root extent list fields during block read

2026-04-15T09:15:02+00:00

Patch series "ocfs2: consolidate extent list validation into block read callbacks". ocfs2 validates extent list fields (l_count, l_next_free_rec) at various points during extent tree traversal. This is fragile because each caller must remember to check for corrupted on-disk data before using it. This series moves those checks into the block read validation callbacks (ocfs2_validate_dx_root and ocfs2_validate_extent_block), so corrupted fields are caught early at block read time. Redundant post-read checks are then removed. This patch (of 4): Move the extent list l_count validation from ocfs2_dx_dir_lookup_rec() into ocfs2_validate_dx_root(), so that corrupted on-disk fields are caught early at block read time rather than during directory lookups. Additionally, add a l_next_free_rec <= l_count check to prevent out-of-bounds access when iterating over extent records. Both checks are skipped for inline dx roots (OCFS2_DX_FLAG_INLINE), which use dr_entries instead of dr_list.

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.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. 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 *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

ocfs2: replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy

2025-12-11T00:07:42+00:00

strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. Replace it with the safer strscpy(). No functional changes.
