vfio/pci: Do vf_token checks for VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD

2025-08-15T14:39:21Z

[ Upstream commit 86624ba3b522b6512def25534341da93356c8da4 ] This was missed during the initial implementation. The VFIO PCI encodes the vf_token inside the device name when opening the device from the group FD, something like: "0000:04:10.0 vf_token=bd8d9d2b-5a5f-4f5a-a211-f591514ba1f3" This is used to control access to a VF unless there is co-ordination with the owner of the PF. Since we no longer have a device name in the cdev path, pass the token directly through VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD using an optional field indicated by VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_FLAG_TOKEN.

vhost: Reintroduce kthread API and add mode selection

2025-08-15T14:39:15Z

[ Upstream commit 7d9896e9f6d02d8aa85e63f736871f96c59a5263 ] Since commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"), the vhost uses vhost_task and operates as a child of the owner thread. This is required for correct CPU usage accounting, especially when using containers. However, this change has caused confusion for some legacy userspace applications, and we didn't notice until it's too late. Unfortunately, it's too late to revert - we now have userspace depending both on old and new behaviour :( To address the issue, reintroduce kthread mode for vhost workers and provide a configuration to select between kthread and task worker. - Add 'fork_owner' parameter to vhost_dev to let users select kthread or task mode. Default mode is task mode(VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK). - Reintroduce kthread mode support: * Bring back the original vhost_worker() implementation, and renamed to vhost_run_work_kthread_list(). * Add cgroup support for the kthread * Introduce struct vhost_worker_ops: - Encapsulates create / stop / wake‑up callbacks. - vhost_worker_create() selects the proper ops according to inherit_owner. - Userspace configuration interface: * New IOCTLs: - VHOST_SET_FORK_FROM_OWNER lets userspace select task mode (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_TASK) or kthread mode (VHOST_FORK_OWNER_KTHREAD) - VHOST_GET_FORK_FROM_OWNER reads the current worker mode * Expose module parameter 'fork_from_owner_default' to allow system administrators to configure the default mode for vhost workers * Kconfig option CONFIG_VHOST_ENABLE_FORK_OWNER_CONTROL controls whether these IOCTLs and the parameter are available - The VHOST_NEW_WORKER functionality requires fork_owner to be set to true, with validation added to ensure proper configuration This partially reverts or improves upon: commit 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads") commit 1cdaafa1b8b4 ("vhost: replace single worker pointer with xarray") Fixes: 6e890c5d5021 ("vhost: use vhost_tasks for worker threads"), Signed-off-by: Cindy Lu Message-Id: <20250714071333.59794-2-lulu@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.

uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again (2)

2025-07-08T14:23:13Z

BITS_PER_LONG does not exist in UAPI headers, so can't be used by the UAPI __GENMASK(). Instead __BITS_PER_LONG needs to be used. When __GENMASK() was introduced in commit 3c7a8e190bc5 ("uapi: introduce uapi-friendly macros for GENMASK"), the code was fine. A broken revert in 1e7933a575ed ("uapi: Revert "bitops: avoid integer overflow in GENMASK(_ULL)"") introduced the incorrect usage of BITS_PER_LONG. That was fixed in commit 11fcf368506d ("uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again"). But a broken sync of the kernel headers with the tools/ headers in commit fc92099902fb ("tools headers: Synchronize linux/bits.h with the kernel sources") undid the fix. Reapply the fix and while at it also fix the tools header.

netlink: specs: mptcp: replace underscores with dashes in names

2025-06-25T22:36:28Z

We're trying to add a strict regexp for the name format in the spec. Underscores will not be allowed, dashes should be used instead. This makes no difference to C (codegen, if used, replaces special chars in names) but it gives more uniform naming in Python.

ublk: update UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY comment in UAPI header

2025-06-25T02:45:31Z

UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY has a very old comment describing the initial idea for how zero-copy would be implemented. The actual implementation added in commit 1f6540e2aabb ("ublk: zc register/unregister bvec") uses io_uring registered buffers rather than shared memory mapping. Remove the inaccurate remarks about mapping ublk request memory into the ublk server's address space and requiring 4K block size. Replace them with a description of the current zero-copy mechanism.

ublk: fix narrowing warnings in UAPI header

2025-06-25T02:45:31Z

When a C++ file compiled with -Wc++11-narrowing includes the UAPI header linux/ublk_cmd.h, ublk_sqe_addr_to_auto_buf_reg()'s assignments of u64 values to u8, u16, and u32 fields result in compiler warnings. Add explicit casts to the intended types to avoid these warnings. Drop the unnecessary bitmasks.
