netfs: Fix potential for tearing in ->remote_i_size and ->zero_point

2026-05-12T12:42:30+00:00

Fix potential tearing in using ->remote_i_size and ->zero_point by copying i_size_read() and i_size_write() and using the same seqcount as for i_size. We need to make sure that netfslib and the filesystems that use it always hold i_lock whilst updating any of the sizes to prevent i_size_seqcount from getting corrupted.

smb: client: fix (remove) drop_dir_cache module parameter

2026-04-22T14:54:21+00:00

Being a module parameter, it's possible to do: # modprobe cifs drop_dir_cache=1 Which will lead to a crash, because cifs_tcp_ses_list hasn't been initialized yet: [ 168.242624] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010 [ 168.242952] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 168.243175] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 168.243394] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 168.243524] Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 168.243703] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 1105 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 7.0.0-lku #5 PREEMPT(lazy) [ 168.244054] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.17.0-2-g4f253b9b-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 168.244557] RIP: 0010:cifs_param_set_drop_dir_cache+0x7c/0x100 [cifs] ...

Also make it available only when CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG=y. A small change needed now is to not call flush_delayed_work() on invalidate_all_cached_dirs() when called from procfs (can't sleep in that context). So add a @sync arg to invalidate_all_cached_dirs() to control when to flush the delayed works.

smb: client: add tracepoints for deferred handle caching

2026-04-14T18:04:21+00:00

Add tracepoints to observe handle caching behavior. smb3_open_cached: emitted when an open reuses a cached handle from a previous deferred close, avoiding a network round-trip smb3_close_cached: emitted when a close is deferred (handle cached for potential reuse by subsequent opens) Signed-off-by: Bharath SM Signed-off-by: Steve French

smb: client: add tracepoint for local lock conflicts

Add smb3_lock_conflict tracepoint that fires when a byte-range lock request conflicts with an existing cached lock. This helps debug lock contention issues when locks are cached locally due to oplocks/leases. The trace includes both the requested and conflicting lock details: - Requested: offset, length, type - Conflicting: offset, length, type, pid (lock holder) Signed-off-by: Bharath SM Signed-off-by: Steve French

smb: client: fix generic/694 due to wrong ->i_blocks

2026-03-19T18:56:25+00:00

When updating ->i_size, make sure to always update ->i_blocks as well until we query new allocation size from the server. generic/694 was failing because smb3_simple_falloc() was missing the update of ->i_blocks after calling cifs_setsize(). So, fix this by updating ->i_blocks directly in cifs_setsize(), so all places that call it doesn't need to worry about updating ->i_blocks later.
