mm/huge_memory: fix folio isn't locked in softleaf_to_folio()

2026-04-11T12:24:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4c5e7f0fcd592801c9cc18f29f80fbee84eb8669 ] On arm64 server, we found folio that get from migration entry isn't locked in softleaf_to_folio(). This issue triggers when mTHP splitting and zap_nonpresent_ptes() races, and the root cause is lack of memory barrier in softleaf_to_folio(). The race is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 deferred_split_scan() zap_nonpresent_ptes() lock folio split_folio() unmap_folio() change ptes to migration entries __split_folio_to_order() softleaf_to_folio() set flags(including PG_locked) for tail pages folio = pfn_folio(softleaf_to_pfn(entry)) smp_wmb() VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(!folio_test_locked(folio)) prep_compound_page() for tail pages In __split_folio_to_order(), smp_wmb() guarantees page flags of tail pages are visible before the tail page becomes non-compound. smp_wmb() should be paired with smp_rmb() in softleaf_to_folio(), which is missed. As a result, if zap_nonpresent_ptes() accesses migration entry that stores tail pfn, softleaf_to_folio() may see the updated compound_head of tail page before page->flags. This issue will trigger VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() in pfn_swap_entry_folio() because of the race between folio split and zap_nonpresent_ptes() leading to a folio incorrectly undergoing modification without a folio lock being held. This is a BUG_ON() before commit 93976a20345b ("mm: eliminate further swapops predicates"), which in merged in v6.19-rc1. To fix it, add missing smp_rmb() if the softleaf entry is migration entry in softleaf_to_folio() and softleaf_to_page().

netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: store netns and zone in expectation

2026-04-11T12:24:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 02a3231b6d82efe750da6554ebf280e4a6f78756 ] __nf_ct_expect_find() and nf_ct_expect_find_get() are called under rcu_read_lock() but they dereference the master conntrack via exp->master. Since the expectation does not hold a reference on the master conntrack, this could be dying conntrack or different recycled conntrack than the real master due to SLAB_TYPESAFE_RCU. Store the netns, the master_tuple and the zone in struct nf_conntrack_expect as a safety measure. This patch is required by the follow up fix not to dump expectations that do not belong to this netns.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: honor expectation helper field

2026-04-11T12:24:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9c42bc9db90a154bc61ae337a070465f3393485a ] The expectation helper field is mostly unused. As a result, the netfilter codebase relies on accessing the helper through exp->master. Always set on the expectation helper field so it can be used to reach the helper. nf_ct_expect_init() is called from packet path where the skb owns the ct object, therefore accessing exp->master for the newly created expectation is safe. This saves a lot of updates in all callsites to pass the ct object as parameter to nf_ct_expect_init(). This is a preparation patches for follow up fixes.

net: introduce mangleid_features

2026-04-11T12:24:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 31c5a71d982b57df75858974634c2f0a338f2fc6 ] Some/most devices implementing gso_partial need to disable the GSO partial features when the IP ID can't be mangled; to that extend each of them implements something alike the following[1]: if (skb->encapsulation && !(features & NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID)) features &= ~NETIF_F_TSO; in the ndo_features_check() op, which leads to a bit of duplicate code. Later patch in the series will implement GSO partial support for virtual devices, and the current status quo will require more duplicate code and a new indirect call in the TX path for them. Introduce the mangleid_features mask, allowing the core to disable NIC features based on/requiring MANGLEID, without any further intervention from the driver. The same functionality could be alternatively implemented adding a single boolean flag to the struct net_device, but would require an additional checks in ndo_features_check(). Also note that [1] is incorrect if the NIC additionally implements NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4, mangleid_features transparently handle even such a case.

io_uring/kbuf: switch to storing struct io_buffer_list locally

2026-04-11T12:24:27+00:00

Commit 5fda51255439addd1c9059098e30847a375a1008 upstream. Currently the buffer list is stored in struct io_kiocb. The buffer list can be of two types: 1) Classic/legacy buffer list. These don't need to get referenced after a buffer pick, and hence storing them in struct io_kiocb is perfectly fine. 2) Ring provided buffer lists. These DO need to be referenced after the initial buffer pick, as they need to get consumed later on. This can be either just incrementing the head of the ring, or it can be consuming parts of a buffer if incremental buffer consumptions has been configured. For case 2, io_uring needs to be careful not to access the buffer list after the initial pick-and-execute context. The core does recycling of these, but it's easy to make a mistake, because it's stored in the io_kiocb which does persist across multiple execution contexts. Either because it's a multishot request, or simply because it needed some kind of async trigger (eg poll) for retry purposes. Add a struct io_buffer_list to struct io_br_sel, which is always on stack for the various users of it. This prevents the buffer list from leaking outside of that execution context, and additionally it enables kbuf to not even pass back the struct io_buffer_list if the given context isn't appropriately locked already. This doesn't fix any bugs, it's simply a defensive measure to prevent any issues with reuse of a buffer list.

spi: use generic driver_override infrastructure

2026-04-02T11:09:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit cc34d77dd48708d810c12bfd6f5bf03304f6c824 ] When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match() callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF. Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking care of proper locking internally. Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock held is intentional. [1] Also note that we do not enable the driver_override feature of struct bus_type, as SPI - in contrast to most other buses - passes "" to sysfs_emit() when the driver_override pointer is NULL. Thus, printing "\n" instead of "(null)\n".

netfilter: ctnetlink: use netlink policy range checks

[ Upstream commit 8f15b5071b4548b0aafc03b366eb45c9c6566704 ] Replace manual range and mask validations with netlink policy annotations in ctnetlink code paths, so that the netlink core rejects invalid values early and can generate extack errors. - CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_STATE: reject values > TCP_CONNTRACK_SYN_SENT2 at policy level, removing the manual >= TCP_CONNTRACK_MAX check. - CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP_WSCALE_ORIGINAL/REPLY: reject values > TCP_MAX_WSCALE (14). The normal TCP option parsing path already clamps to this value, but the ctnetlink path accepted 0-255, causing undefined behavior when used as a u32 shift count. - CTA_FILTER_ORIG_FLAGS/REPLY_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with CTA_FILTER_F_ALL, removing the manual mask checks. - CTA_EXPECT_FLAGS: use NLA_POLICY_MASK with NF_CT_EXPECT_MASK, adding a new mask define grouping all valid expect flags.
