[PATCH v3] selftests: cgroup: make test_memcg_sock robust against delayed sock stats

by Guopeng Zhang

test_memcg_sock() currently requires that memory.stat's "sock " counter is exactly zero immediately after the TCP server exits. On a busy system this assumption is too strict: - Socket memory may be freed with a small delay (e.g. RCU callbacks). - memcg statistics are updated asynchronously via the rstat flushing worker, so the "sock " value in memory.stat can stay non-zero for a short period of time even after all socket memory has been uncharged. As a result, test_memcg_sock() can intermittently fail even though socket memory accounting is working correctly. Make the test more robust by polling memory.stat for the "sock " counter and allowing it some time to drop to zero instead of checking it only once. The timeout is set to 3 seconds to cover the periodic rstat flush interval (FLUSH_TIME = 2*HZ by default) plus some scheduling slack. If the counter does not become zero within the timeout, the test still fails as before. On my test system, running test_memcontrol 50 times produced: - Before this patch: 6/50 runs passed. - After this patch: 50/50 runs passed.

[PATCH v7 00/11] arm64: entry: Convert to Generic Entry

by Jinjie Ruan

Currently, x86, Riscv, Loongarch use the Generic Entry which makes maintainers' work easier and codes more elegant. arm64 has already successfully switched to the Generic IRQ Entry in commit b3cf07851b6c ("arm64: entry: Switch to generic IRQ entry"), it is time to completely convert arm64 to Generic Entry. The goal is to bring arm64 in line with other architectures that already use the generic entry infrastructure, reducing duplicated code and making it easier to share future changes in entry/exit paths, such as "Syscall User Dispatch". This patch set is rebased on v6.18-rc6. The performance benchmarks from perf bench basic syscall on real hardware are below: | Metric | W/O Generic Framework | With Generic Framework | Change | | ---------- | --------------------- | ---------------------- | ------ | | Total time | 2.813 [sec] | 2.930 [sec] | ↑4% | | usecs/op | 0.281349 | 0.293006 | ↑4% | | ops/sec | 3,554,299 | 3,412,894 | ↓4% | Compared to earlier with arch specific handling, the performance decreased by approximately 4%. It was tested ok with following test cases on QEMU virt platform: - Perf tests. - Different `dynamic preempt` mode switch. - Pseudo NMI tests. - Stress-ng CPU stress test. - MTE test case in Documentation/arch/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst and all test cases in tools/testing/selftests/arm64/mte/*. - "sud" selftest testcase. - get_syscall_info, peeksiginfo in tools/testing/selftests/ptrace. The test QEMU configuration is as follows: qemu-system-aarch64 \ -M virt,gic-version=3,virtualization=on,mte=on \ -cpu max,pauth-impdef=on \ -kernel Image \ -smp 8,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2 \ -m 512m \ -nographic \ -no-reboot \ -device virtio-rng-pci \ -append "root=/dev/vda rw console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 \ earlycon preempt=voluntary irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1" \ -drive if=none,file=images/rootfs.ext4,format=raw,id=hd0 \ -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \ Chanegs in v7: - Support "Syscall User Dispatch" by implementing arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn() as kemal suggested. - Add aarch64 support for "sud" selftest testcase, which tested ok with the patch series. - Fix the kernel test robot warning for arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry() and arch_ptrace_report_syscall_exit() in asm/entry-common.h. - Add perf syscall performance test. - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250916082611.2972008-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ Changes in v6: - Rebased on v6.17-rc5-next as arm64 generic irq entry has merged. - Update the commit message. - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241206101744.4161990-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ Changes in v5: - Not change arm32 and keep inerrupts_enabled() macro for gicv3 driver. - Move irqentry_state definition into arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c. - Avoid removing the __enter_from_*() and __exit_to_*() wrappers. - Update "irqentry_state_t ret/irq_state" to "state" to keep it consistently. - Use generic irq entry header for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC after split the generic entry. - Also refactor the ARM64 syscall code. - Introduce arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit(), instead of arch_pre/post_report_syscall_entry/exit() to simplify code. - Make the syscall patches clear separation. - Update the commit message. - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241025100700.3714552-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ Changes in v4: - Rework/cleanup split into a few patches as Mark suggested. - Replace interrupts_enabled() macro with regs_irqs_disabled(), instead of left it here. - Remove rcu and lockdep state in pt_regs by using temporary irqentry_state_t as Mark suggested. - Remove some unnecessary intermediate functions to make it clear. - Rework preempt irq and PREEMPT_DYNAMIC code to make the switch more clear. - arch_prepare_*_entry/exit() -> arch_pre_*_entry/exit(). - Expand the arch functions comment. - Make arch functions closer to its caller. - Declare saved_reg in for block. - Remove arch_exit_to_kernel_mode_prepare(), arch_enter_from_kernel_mode(). - Adjust "Add few arch functions to use generic entry" patch to be the penultimate. - Update the commit message. - Add suggested-by. - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240629085601.470241-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ Changes in v3: - Test the MTE test cases. - Handle forget_syscall() in arch_post_report_syscall_entry() - Make the arch funcs not use __weak as Thomas suggested, so move the arch funcs to entry-common.h, and make arch_forget_syscall() folded in arch_post_report_syscall_entry() as suggested. - Move report_single_step() to thread_info.h for arm64 - Change __always_inline() to inline, add inline for the other arch funcs. - Remove unused signal.h for entry-common.h. - Add Suggested-by. - Update the commit message.

[PATCH net-next v11 00/13] vsock: add namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback

by Bobby Eshleman

This series adds namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback. It does not add namespaces to any of the other guest transports (virtio-vsock, hyperv, or vmci). The current revision supports two modes: local and global. Local mode is complete isolation of namespaces, while global mode is complete sharing between namespaces of CIDs (the original behavior). The mode is set using /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode. Modes are per-netns and write-once. This allows a system to configure namespaces independently (some may share CIDs, others are completely isolated). This also supports future possible mixed use cases, where there may be namespaces in global mode spinning up VMs while there are mixed mode namespaces that provide services to the VMs, but are not allowed to allocate from the global CID pool (this mode is not implemented in this series). If a socket or VM is created when a namespace is global but the namespace changes to local, the socket or VM will continue working normally. That is, the socket or VM assumes the mode behavior of the namespace at the time the socket/VM was created. The original mode is captured in vsock_create() and so occurs at the time of socket(2) and accept(2) for sockets and open(2) on /dev/vhost-vsock for VMs. This prevents a socket/VM connection from suddenly breaking due to a namespace mode change. Any new sockets/VMs created after the mode change will adopt the new mode's behavior. Additionally, added tests for the new namespace features: tools/testing/selftests/vsock/vmtest.sh 1..29 ok 1 vm_server_host_client ok 2 vm_client_host_server ok 3 vm_loopback ok 4 ns_vm_local_mode_rejected ok 5 ns_host_vsock_ns_mode_ok ok 6 ns_host_vsock_ns_mode_write_once_ok ok 7 ns_global_same_cid_fails ok 8 ns_local_same_cid_ok ok 9 ns_global_local_same_cid_ok ok 10 ns_local_global_same_cid_ok ok 11 ns_diff_global_host_connect_to_global_vm_ok ok 12 ns_diff_global_host_connect_to_local_vm_fails ok 13 ns_diff_global_vm_connect_to_global_host_ok ok 14 ns_diff_global_vm_connect_to_local_host_fails ok 15 ns_diff_local_host_connect_to_local_vm_fails ok 16 ns_diff_local_vm_connect_to_local_host_fails ok 17 ns_diff_global_to_local_loopback_local_fails ok 18 ns_diff_local_to_global_loopback_fails ok 19 ns_diff_local_to_local_loopback_fails ok 20 ns_diff_global_to_global_loopback_ok ok 21 ns_same_local_loopback_ok ok 22 ns_same_local_host_connect_to_local_vm_ok ok 23 ns_same_local_vm_connect_to_local_host_ok ok 24 ns_mode_change_connection_continue_vm_ok ok 25 ns_mode_change_connection_continue_host_ok ok 26 ns_mode_change_connection_continue_both_ok ok 27 ns_delete_vm_ok ok 28 ns_delete_host_ok ok 29 ns_delete_both_ok SUMMARY: PASS=29 SKIP=0 FAIL=0 Dependent on series: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251108-vsock-selftests-fixes-and-improvements… Thanks again for everyone's help and reviews!

[PATCH net-next 0/5] selftests: hw-net: toeplitz: read config from the NIC directly

by Jakub Kicinski

First patch here tries to auto-disable building the iouring sample. Our CI will still run the iouring test(s), of course, but it looks like the liburing updates aren't very quick in distroes and having to hack around it when developing unrelated tests is a bit annoying. Remaining 4 patches iron out running the Toeplitz hash test against real NICs. I tested mlx5, bnxt and fbnic, they all pass now. I switched to using YNL directly in the C code, can't see a reason to get the info in Python and pass it to C via argv. The old code likely did this because it predates YNL.

[PATCH net-next v3 0/4] netconsole: Allow userdata buffer to grow dynamically

by Gustavo Luiz Duarte

The current netconsole implementation allocates a static buffer for extradata (userdata + sysdata) with a fixed size of MAX_EXTRADATA_ENTRY_LEN * MAX_EXTRADATA_ITEMS bytes for every target, regardless of whether userspace actually uses this feature. This forces us to keep MAX_EXTRADATA_ITEMS small (16), which is restrictive for users who need to attach more metadata to their log messages. This patch series enables dynamic allocation of the userdata buffer, allowing it to grow on-demand based on actual usage. The series: 1.

[RFC PATCH 0/3] Memory Controller eBPF support

by Hui Zhu

From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui(a)kylinos.cn> This series proposes adding eBPF support to the Linux memory controller, enabling dynamic and extensible memory management policies at runtime. Background The memory controller (memcg) currently provides fixed memory accounting and reclamation policies through static kernel code. This limits flexibility for specialized workloads and use cases that require custom memory management strategies. By enabling eBPF programs to hook into key memory control operations, administrators can implement custom policies without recompiling the kernel, while maintaining the safety guarantees provided by the BPF verifier. Use Cases 1. Custom memory reclamation strategies for specialized workloads 2. Dynamic memory pressure monitoring and telemetry 3. Memory accounting adjustments based on runtime conditions 4. Integration with container orchestration systems for intelligent resource management 5. Research and experimentation with novel memory management algorithms Design Overview This series introduces: 1. A new BPF struct ops type (`memcg_ops`) that allows eBPF programs to implement custom behavior for memory charging operations. 2. A hook point in the `try_charge_memcg()` fast path that invokes registered eBPF programs to determine if custom memory management should be applied. 3. The eBPF handler can inspect memory cgroup context and optionally modify certain parameters (e.g., `nr_pages` for reclamation size). 4. A reference counting mechanism using `percpu_ref` to safely manage the lifecycle of registered eBPF struct ops instances. 5. Configuration via `CONFIG_MEMCG_BPF` to allow disabling this feature at build time. Implementation Details - Uses BPF struct ops for a cleaner integration model - Leverages static branch keys for minimal overhead when feature is unused - RCU synchronization ensures safe replacement of handlers - Sample eBPF program demonstrates monitoring capabilities - Comprehensive selftest suite validates core functionality Performance Considerations - Zero overhead when feature is disabled or no eBPF program is loaded (static branch is disabled) - Minimal overhead when enabled: one indirect function call per charge attempt - eBPF programs run under the restrictions of the BPF verifier Patch Overview PATCH 1/3: Core kernel implementation - Adds eBPF struct ops support to memcg - Introduces CONFIG_MEMCG_BPF option - Implements safe registration/unregistration mechanism PATCH 2/3: Selftest suite - prog_tests/memcg_ops.c: Test entry points - progs/memcg_ops.bpf.c: Test eBPF program - Validates load, attach, and single-handler constraints PATCH 3/3: Sample userspace program - samples/bpf/memcg_printk.bpf.c: Monitoring eBPF program - samples/bpf/memcg_printk.c: Userspace loader - Demonstrates real-world usage and debugging capabilities Open Questions & Discussion Points 1. Should the eBPF handler have access to additional memory cgroup state? Current design exposes minimal context to reduce attack surface. 2. Are there other memory control operations that would benefit from eBPF extensibility (e.g., uncharge, reclaim)? 3. Should there be permission checks or restrictions on who can load memcg eBPF programs? Currently inherits BPF's CAP_PERFMON/CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirements. 4. How should we handle multiple eBPF programs trying to register? Current implementation allows only one active handler. 5. Is the current exposed context in `try_charge_memcg` struct sufficient, or should additional fields be added? Testing The selftests provide comprehensive coverage of the core functionality. The sample program can be used for manual testing and as a reference for implementing additional monitoring tools.

[PATCH net-next v3 00/12] selftests: drv-net: convert GRO and Toeplitz tests to work for drivers in NIPA

by Jakub Kicinski

Main objective of this series is to convert the gro.sh and toeplitz.sh tests to be "NIPA-compatible" - meaning make use of the Python env, which lets us run the tests against either netdevsim or a real device. The tests seem to have been written with a different flow in mind. Namely they source different bash "setup" scripts depending on arguments passed to the test. While I have nothing against the use of bash and the overall architecture - the existing code needs quite a bit of work (don't assume MAC/IP addresses, support remote endpoint over SSH). If I'm the one fixing it, I'd rather convert them to our "simplistic" Python. This series rewrites the tests in Python while addressing their shortcomings. The functionality of running the test over loopback on a real device is retained but with a different method of invocation (see the last patch). Once again we are dealing with a script which run over a variety of protocols (combination of [ipv4, ipv6, ipip] x [tcp, udp]). The first 4 patches add support for test variants to our scripts. We use the term "variant" in the same sense as the C kselftest_harness.h - variant is just a set of static input arguments. Note that neither GRO nor the Toeplitz test fully passes for me on any HW I have access to. But this is unrelated to the conversion. This series is not making any real functional changes to the tests, it is limited to improving the "test harness" scripts. v3: [patch 1] Exception -> BaseException [patch 3] use named tuple instead of attaching attrs directly to a func [patch 9] restore the comment about retries in GRO test [patch 10] use open() instead of echo [patch 10] move MTU changes to _setup() to handle all the config related stuff in that function v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20251118215126.2225826-1-kuba@kernel.org [patch 5] fix accidental modification of gitignore [patch 8] fix typo in "compared" [patch 9] fix typo I -> It [patch 10] fix typoe configure -> configured v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20251117205810.1617533-1-kuba@kernel.org Jakub Kicinski (12): selftests: net: py: coding style improvements selftests: net: py: extract the case generation logic selftests: net: py: add test variants selftests: drv-net: xdp: use variants for qstat tests selftests: net: relocate gro and toeplitz tests to drivers/net selftests: net: py: support ksft ready without wait selftests: net: py: read ip link info about remote dev netdevsim: pass packets thru GRO on Rx selftests: drv-net: add a Python version of the GRO test selftests: drv-net: hw: convert the Toeplitz test to Python netdevsim: add loopback support selftests: net: remove old setup_* scripts tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/Makefile | 2 + .../testing/selftests/drivers/net/hw/Makefile | 6 +- tools/testing/selftests/net/Makefile | 7 - tools/testing/selftests/net/lib/Makefile | 1 + drivers/net/netdevsim/netdev.c | 26 ++- .../testing/selftests/{ => drivers}/net/gro.c | 5 +- .../{net => drivers/net/hw}/toeplitz.c | 7 +- .../testing/selftests/drivers/net/.gitignore | 1 + tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/gro.py | 164 ++++++++++++++ .../selftests/drivers/net/hw/.gitignore | 1 + .../drivers/net/hw/lib/py/__init__.py | 4 +- .../selftests/drivers/net/hw/toeplitz.py | 209 ++++++++++++++++++ .../selftests/drivers/net/lib/py/__init__.py | 4 +- .../selftests/drivers/net/lib/py/env.py | 2 + tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/xdp.py | 42 ++-- tools/testing/selftests/net/.gitignore | 2 - tools/testing/selftests/net/gro.sh | 105 --------- .../selftests/net/lib/ksft_setup_loopback.sh | 111 ++++++++++ .../testing/selftests/net/lib/py/__init__.py | 5 +- tools/testing/selftests/net/lib/py/ksft.py | 91 ++++++-- tools/testing/selftests/net/lib/py/nsim.py | 2 +- tools/testing/selftests/net/lib/py/utils.py | 20 +- tools/testing/selftests/net/setup_loopback.sh | 120 ---------- tools/testing/selftests/net/setup_veth.sh | 45 ---- tools/testing/selftests/net/toeplitz.sh | 199 ----------------- .../testing/selftests/net/toeplitz_client.sh | 28 --- 26 files changed, 632 insertions(+), 577 deletions(-) rename tools/testing/selftests/{ => drivers}/net/gro.c (99%) rename tools/testing/selftests/{net => drivers/net/hw}/toeplitz.c (99%) create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/gro.py create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/hw/toeplitz.py delete mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/net/gro.sh create mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/net/lib/ksft_setup_loopback.sh delete mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/net/setup_loopback.sh delete mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/net/setup_veth.sh delete mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/net/toeplitz.sh delete mode 100755 tools/testing/selftests/net/toeplitz_client.sh -- 2.51.1

[PATCH 0/3] HID: multitouch: set INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD on compatible touchpads

by Peter Hutterer

Note: this requires INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD [1] which is not yet available in Linus' tree but it is in Dmitry's for-linus tree. Nicely enough MS defines a button type for a pressurepad touchpad [2] and it looks like most touchpad vendors fill this in. The selftests require a bit of prep work (and a hack for the test itself) - hidtools 0.12 requires python-libevdev 0.13 which in turn provides constructors for unknown properties.
