[PATCH 1/1] selftest/sched: skip the test if smt is not enabled

by Yifei Liu

The core scheduling is for smt enabled cpus. It is not returns failure and gives plenty of error messages and not clearly points to the smt issue if the smt is disabled. It just mention "not a core sched system" and many other messages. For example: Not a core sched system tid=210574, / tgid=210574 / pgid=210574: ffffffffffffffff Not a core sched system tid=210575, / tgid=210575 / pgid=210574: ffffffffffffffff Not a core sched system tid=210577, / tgid=210575 / pgid=210574: ffffffffffffffff (similar things many other times) In this patch, the test will first read /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/active, if the file cannot be opened or its value is 0, the test is skipped with an explanatory message. This helps developers understand why it is skipped and avoids unnecessary attention when running the full selftest suite.

[PATCH v4 0/7] platform/chrome: Fix a possible UAF via revocable

by Tzung-Bi Shih

This is a follow-up series of [1]. It tries to fix a possible UAF in the fops of cros_ec_chardev after the underlying protocol device has gone by using revocable. The 1st patch introduces the revocable which is an implementation of ideas from the talk [2]. The 2nd and 3rd patches add test cases for revocable in Kunit and selftest. The 4th patch converts existing protocol devices to resource providers of cros_ec_device. The 5th - 7th are PoC patches for moving most revocable code to subsystem level. Miscdevice is used as it would be simpler for PoC. Note that the device driver (e.g., cros_ec_chardev) still needs to be revocable-aware. The driver needs to specify where to save the pointer and thus the resource is available in fops. - The 5th patch adds a helper for using revocable API with fops. - The 6th patch leverages the helper in miscdevice. - The 7th patch converts cros_ec_chardev to a resource consumer of cros_ec_device to fix the UAF.

[PATCH net-next 0/8] mptcp: receive path improvement

by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)

This series includes several changes to the MPTCP RX path. The main goals are improving the RX performances, and increase the long term maintainability. Some changes reflects recent(ish) improvements introduced in the TCP stack: patch 1, 2 and 3 are the MPTCP counter part of SKB deferral free and auto-tuning improvements. Note that patch 3 could possibly fix additional issues, and overall such patch should protect from similar issues to arise in the future. Patches 4-7 are aimed at introducing the socket backlog usage which will be done in a later series to process the packets received by the different subflows while the msk socket is owned. Patch 8 is not related to the RX path, but it contains additional tests for new features recently introduced in net-next. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe(a)kernel.org> --- Notes: - Sorry for sending this series that late, we had quite a few patches to upstream during this cycle. This is the last batch, and it has been heavily tested the last 2 weeks. - If there are some issues with some patches, but not with 1-3, it would be nice, if possible, if these 3 first patches can be accepted, to reduce the recently introduced gap with TCP. - Patches can be grouped like this if needed: 1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8. 6-7 are preparing the ground for future on-going work, they can be dropped if there are issues with them. --- Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) (1): selftests: mptcp: join: validate new laminar endp Paolo Abeni (7): mptcp: leverage skb deferral free tcp: make tcp_rcvbuf_grow() accessible to mptcp code mptcp: rcvbuf auto-tuning improvement mptcp: introduce the mptcp_init_skb helper mptcp: remove unneeded mptcp_move_skb() mptcp: factor out a basic skb coalesce helper mptcp: minor move_skbs_to_msk() cleanup include/net/tcp.h | 1 + net/ipv4/tcp_input.c | 2 +- net/mptcp/protocol.c | 187 ++++++++++++------------ net/mptcp/protocol.h | 4 +- tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp/mptcp_join.sh | 69 +++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp/pm_nl_ctl.c | 9 ++ 6 files changed, 177 insertions(+), 95 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 1493c18fe8696bfc758a97130a485fc4e08387f5 change-id: 20250927-net-next-mptcp-rcv-path-imp-192d8c24c9c7 Best regards, -- Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe(a)kernel.org>
