Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - NVMe pull request via Keith:
     - FC target fixes (Daniel)
     - Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
     - Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
     - Target lockdep assertions (Max)
     - Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
     - Suspend quirk (Georg)

 - MD pull request via Yu:
     - Add support for a lockless bitmap.

       A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
       lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
       bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
       to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
       writes.

       By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
       case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
       need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

 - Switch -&gt;getgeo() and -&gt;bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
   than struct block_device.

 - Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
   configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
   includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
   cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.

   The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
   `kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
   to support the same use as the removed logic.

 - floppy arch cleanups

 - Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands

 - Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
   of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
   setups.

 - A few s390 dasd block fixes

 - Fix a few issues around atomic writes

 - Improve DMA interation for integrity requests

 - Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
   constraints.

   We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
   only the request as a whole needs to.

 - Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
   payloads

 - Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate

 - Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections

 - Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs

 - Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device

 - Various fixes and cleanups

Way, way back it used to be
	_PAGE_NORMAL((x) | ((x &amp; _PAGE_FOW) ? 0 : _PAGE_FOW | _PAGE_COW))
Then (in 1.3.54) _PAGE_COW had died.  Result:
	_PAGE_NORMAL((x) | ((x &amp; _PAGE_FOW) ? 0 : _PAGE_FOW))
which is somewhat... obscure.  What it does is simply
	_PAGE_NORMAL((x) | _PAGE_FOW)
and IMO that's easier to follow.

<title>alpha: Add __attribute_const__ to ffs()-family implementations</title>
<updated>2025-09-08T21:58:51Z</updated>

<published>2025-08-04T16:44:03Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=a8d060ddeed52b4e4d0264b34353f025c421e4b9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a8d060ddeed52b4e4d0264b34353f025c421e4b9</id>
<content type='text'>
While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by
BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static
initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state
of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that
ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with
__attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might
change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(),
which provides deterministic math results).

Add missing __attribute_const__ annotations to Alpha's implementations
of __ffs(), ffs(), fls64(), __fls(), fls(), and ffz() functions. These
are pure mathematical functions that always return the same result for
the same input with no side effects, making them eligible for compiler
optimization.

Build tested ARCH=alpha defconfig with GCC alpha-linux-gnu 14.2.0.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
  21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
  "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

  I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

  "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
     mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
     VMAs.

  "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
     adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
     DAMON in production environments.

  "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
     is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
     pointers from struct writeback_control.

  "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
     contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
     management code.

  "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
     does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

  "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
     implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
     into order&gt;0 folios.

  "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
     provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
     selftests code.

  "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
     memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

  "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
     expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

  "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
     addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
     These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.

  "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
     provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

  "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
     types.

  "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
     increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
     code.

  "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
     removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

  "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
     implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
     sysfs layer.

  "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

  "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
     provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

  "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
     creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
     Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
     on/offline notifier.

  "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
     which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

  "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
     adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
     more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

  "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
     fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
     follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

  "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
     rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
     allocator.

  "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
     provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

  "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
     adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

  "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
     does that.

  "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
     also does what it claims.

  "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
     cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

  "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
     facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
     policy.

  "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
     provides a couple of page-&gt;folio conversions.

  "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
     implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
     current memcg-based implementation.

  "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
     replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
     powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

  "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
     for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
     of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
     excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
     reliably.

  "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
     switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
     removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

  "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
     augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
     monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
     tunable to control the update interval.

  "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
     does what is claims.

  "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
     provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
     a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
     over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
     directly.

  "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
     addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
     reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
     half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
     selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

  "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up __folio_split()!

  "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     provides some quite large (&gt;3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
     with large folios.

  "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
     does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

  "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
     more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
     multiple VMAs" feature.

  "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
     extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
     possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
     subset"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Wrap datapath globals into net_aligned_data, to avoid false sharing

   - Preserve MSG_ZEROCOPY in forwarding (e.g. out of a container)

   - Add SO_INQ and SCM_INQ support to AF_UNIX

   - Add SIOCINQ support to AF_VSOCK

   - Add TCP_MAXSEG sockopt to MPTCP

   - Add IPv6 force_forwarding sysctl to enable forwarding per interface

   - Make TCP validation of whether packet fully fits in the receive
     window and the rcv_buf more strict. With increased use of HW
     aggregation a single "packet" can be multiple 100s of kB

   - Add MSG_MORE flag to optimize large TCP transmissions via sockmap,
     improves latency up to 33% for sockmap users

   - Convert TCP send queue handling from tasklet to BH workque

   - Improve BPF iteration over TCP sockets to see each socket exactly
     once

   - Remove obsolete and unused TCP RFC3517/RFC6675 loss recovery code

   - Support enabling kernel threads for NAPI processing on per-NAPI
     instance basis rather than a whole device. Fully stop the kernel
     NAPI thread when threaded NAPI gets disabled. Previously thread
     would stick around until ifdown due to tricky synchronization

   - Allow multicast routing to take effect on locally-generated packets

   - Add output interface argument for End.X in segment routing

   - MCTP: add support for gateway routing, improve bind() handling

Pull asm/param cleanup from Al Viro:
 "This massages asm/param.h to simpler and more uniform shape:

   - all arch/*/include/uapi/asm/param.h are either generated includes
     of &lt;asm-generic/param.h&gt; or a #define or two followed by such
     include

   - no arch/*/include/asm/param.h anywhere, generated or not

   - include &lt;asm/param.h&gt; resolves to arch/*/include/uapi/asm/param.h
     of the architecture in question (or that of host in case of uml)

   - include/asm-generic/param.h pulls uapi/asm-generic/param.h and
     deals with USER_HZ, CLOCKS_PER_SEC and with HZ redefinition after
     that"
