Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to semaphore" from Lance Yang enhances the hung task detector. The detector presently dumps the blocking tasks's stack when it is blocked on a mutex. Lance's series extends this to semaphores - "nilfs2: improve sanity checks in dirty state propagation" from Wentao Liang addresses a couple of minor flaws in nilfs2 - "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()" from Illia Ostapyshyn fixes a couple of issues in the gdb scripts - "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume keys" from Coiby Xu addresses a usability problem with kdump. When the dump device is LUKS-encrypted, the kdump kernel may not have the keys to the encrypted filesystem. A full writeup of this is in the series [0/N] cover letter - "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls" from Max Kellermann adds /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count - "fork: Page operation cleanups in the fork code" from Pasha Tatashin implements a number of code cleanups in fork.c - "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot" from Ilya Leoshkevich fixes some s390 issues in the gdb scripts * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-05-31-15-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (67 commits) llist: make llist_add_batch() a static inline delayacct: remove redundant code and adjust indentation squashfs: add optional full compressed block caching crash_dump, nvme: select CONFIGFS_FS as built-in scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot scripts/gdb/symbols: factor out pagination_off() scripts/gdb/symbols: factor out get_vmlinux() kernel/panic.c: format kernel-doc comments mailmap: update and consolidate Casey Connolly's name and email nilfs2: remove wbc->for_reclaim handling fork: define a local GFP_VMAP_STACK fork: check charging success before zeroing stack fork: clean-up naming of vm_stack/vm_struct variables in vmap stacks code fork: clean-up ifdef logic around stack allocation kernel/rcu/tree_stall: add /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count kernel/watchdog: add /sys/kernel/{hard,soft}lockup_count x86/crash: make the page that stores the dm crypt keys inaccessible x86/crash: pass dm crypt keys to kdump kernel Revert "x86/mm: Remove unused __set_memory_prot()" crash_dump: retrieve dm crypt keys in kdump kernel ...

ipc: fix to protect IPCS lookups using RCU

2025-05-12T00:54:11Z

syzbot reported that it discovered a use-after-free vulnerability, [0] [0]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/67af13f8.050a0220.21dd3.0038.GAE@google.com/ idr_for_each() is protected by rwsem, but this is not enough. If it is not protected by RCU read-critical region, when idr_for_each() calls radix_tree_node_free() through call_rcu() to free the radix_tree_node structure, the node will be freed immediately, and when reading the next node in radix_tree_for_each_slot(), the already freed memory may be read. Therefore, we need to add code to make sure that idr_for_each() is protected within the RCU read-critical region when we call it in shm_destroy_orphaned().

VFS: rename lookup_one_len family to lookup_noperm and remove permission check

2025-04-08T09:24:36Z

The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by a filesystem on itself either - in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE or dquota accessing the quota file; or - in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename" file in the same directory. This is also the context after the _parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used. So the permission check is pointless. The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as "strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code. This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked() which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on "lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a new call to strlen(). try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked(). The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be tidied up in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250319031545.2999807-5-neil@brown.name Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable

2025-01-28T12:48:37Z

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers. Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command: Spatch: virtual patch @ depends on !(file in "net") disable optional_qualifier @ identifier table_name != { watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, iwcm_ctl_table, ucma_ctl_table, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table }; @@ + const struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... }; sed: sed --in-place \ -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c Reviewed-by: Song Liu Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) # for kernel/trace/ Reviewed-by: Martin K.

ipc: fix memleak if msg_init_ns failed in create_ipc_ns

Percpu memory allocation may failed during create_ipc_ns however this fail is not handled properly since ipc sysctls and mq sysctls is not released properly.
