[REGRESSION] [BISECTED] MT7925 wireless speed drops to zero since kernel 6.14.3 - wifi: mt76: mt7925: integrate *mlo_sta_cmd and *sta_cmd

by Tal Inbar

Hi, Since kernel v6.14.3, when using wireless to connect to my home router on my laptop, my wireless connection slows down to unusable speeds. More specifically, since kernel 6.14.3, when connecting to the wireless networks of my OpenWRT Router on my Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 15 16AKP10 laptop, either a 2.4ghz or a 5ghz network, the connection speed drops down to 0.1-0.2 Mbps download and 0 Mbps upload when measured using speedtest-cli. My laptop uses an mt7925 chip according to the loaded driver and firmware. Detailed Description: As mentioned above, my wireless connection becomes unusable when using linux 6.14.3 and above, dropping speeds to almost 0 Mbps, even when standing next to my router. Further, pinging archlinux.org results in "Temporary failure in name resolution". Any other wireless device in my house can successfully connect to my router and properly use the internet with good speeds, eg. iphones, ipads, raspberry pi and a windows laptop. When using my Lenovo laptop on a kernel 6.14.3 or higher to connect to other access points, such as my iPhone's hotspot and some TPLink and Zyxel routers - the connection speed is good, and there are no issues, which makes me believe there's something going on with my OpenWRT configuration in conjunction with a commit introduced on kernel 6.14.3 for the mt7925e module as detailed below. I have followed a related issue previously reported on the mailing list regarding a problem with the same wifi chip on kernel 6.14.3, but the merged fix doesn't seem to fix my problem: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mediatek/EmWnO5b-acRH1TXbGnkx41eJw654vmCR-8_x… I've tested stable builds of 6.15 as well up to 6.15.9 in the last month, which also do not fix the problem. I've also built and bisected v6.14 on june using guides on the Arch Linux wiki, for the following bad commit, same as the previously mentioned reported issue: [80007d3f92fd018d0a052a706400e976b36e3c87] wifi: mt76: mt7925: integrate *mlo_sta_cmd and *sta_cmd Testing further this week, I cloned mainline after 6.16 was released, built and tested it, and the issue still persists. I reverted the following commits on mainline and retested, to successfully see good wireless speeds: [0aa8496adda570c2005410a30df963a16643a3dc] wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix missing hdr_trans_tlv command for broadcast wtbl [cb1353ef34735ec1e5d9efa1fe966f05ff1dc1e1] wifi: mt76: mt7925: integrate *mlo_sta_cmd and *sta_cmd Then, reverting *only* 0aa8496adda570c2005410a30df963a16643a3dc causes the issue to reproduce, which confirms the issue is caused by commit cb1353ef34735ec1e5d9efa1fe966f05ff1dc1e1 on mainline. I've attached the following files to a bugzilla ticket: - lspci -nnk output: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=308466 - dmesg output: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=308465 - .config for the built mainline kernel: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=308467 More information: OS Distribution: Arch Linux Linux build information from /proc/version: Linux version 6.16.0linux-mainline-11853-g21be711c0235 (tal@arch-debug) (gcc (GCC) 15.1.1 20250729, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.45.0) #3 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC OpenWRT Version on my Router: 24.10.2 Laptop Hardware: - Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 15 16AKP10 laptop (x86_64 Ryzen AI 350 CPU) - Network device as reported by lscpi: 14c3:7925 - Network modules and driver in use: mt7925e - mediatek chip firmware as of dmesg: HW/SW Version: 0x8a108a10, Build Time: 20250526152947a WM Firmware Version: ____000000, Build Time: 20250526153043 Referencing regzbot: #regzbot introduced: 80007d3f92fd018d0a052a706400e976b36e3c87 Please let me know if any other information is needed, or if there is anything else that I can test on my end.

[PATCH] nfs: fix UAF in direct writes

by Chanho Min

From: Josef Bacik <josef(a)toxicpanda.com> [ Upstream commit 17f46b803d4f23c66cacce81db35fef3adb8f2af ] In production we have been hitting the following warning consistently ------------[ cut here ]------------ refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

ZSTD_getCParams_internal+0x220/0x220 kthread+0xdc/0x120 ? __btf_name_valid+0xa0/0xa0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 This is because we're completing the nfs_direct_request twice in a row. The source of this is when we have our commit requests to submit, we process them and send them off, and then in the completion path for the commit requests we have if (nfs_commit_end(cinfo.mds)) nfs_direct_write_complete(dreq); However since we're submitting asynchronous requests we sometimes have one that completes before we submit the next one, so we end up calling complete on the nfs_direct_request twice. The only other place we use nfs_generic_commit_list() is in __nfs_commit_inode, which wraps this call in a nfs_commit_begin(); nfs_commit_end(); Which is a common pattern for this style of completion handling, one that is also repeated in the direct code with get_dreq()/put_dreq() calls around where we process events as well as in the completion paths. Fix this by using the same pattern for the commit requests. Before with my 200 node rocksdb stress running this warning would pop every 10ish minutes. With my patch the stress test has been running for several hours without popping.

[PATCH] proc: fix wrong behavior of FMODE_LSEEK clearing for net related proc file

by wangzijie

For avoiding pde->proc_ops->... dereference(which may cause UAF in rmmod race scene), we call pde_set_flags() to save this kind of information in PDE itself before proc_register() and call pde_has_proc_XXX() to replace pde->proc_ops->... dereference. But there has omission of pde_set_flags() in net related proc file create, which cause the wroing behavior of FMODE_LSEEK clearing in proc_reg_open() for net related proc file after commit ff7ec8dc1b64("proc: use the same treatment to check proc_lseek as ones for proc_read_iter et.al"). Lars reported it in this link[1]. So call pde_set_flags() when create net related proc file to fix this bug.

[PATCH V5 mm-hotfixes 3/3] x86/mm/64: define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings()

by Harry Yoo

Define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() to ensure page tables are properly synchronized when calling p*d_populate_kernel(). For 5-level paging, synchronization is performed via pgd_populate_kernel(). In 4-level paging, pgd_populate() is a no-op, so synchronization is instead performed at the P4D level via p4d_populate_kernel(). This fixes intermittent boot failures on systems using 4-level paging and a large amount of persistent memory: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe70000000034 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:__init_single_page+0x9/0x6d Call Trace: <TASK> __init_zone_device_page+0x17/0x5d memmap_init_zone_device+0x154/0x1bb pagemap_range+0x2e0/0x40f memremap_pages+0x10b/0x2f0 devm_memremap_pages+0x1e/0x60 dev_dax_probe+0xce/0x2ec [device_dax] dax_bus_probe+0x6d/0xc9 [... snip ...] </TASK> It also fixes a crash in vmemmap_set_pmd() caused by accessing vmemmap before sync_global_pgds() [1]: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffeb3ff1200000 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI Tainted: [W]=WARN RIP: 0010:vmemmap_set_pmd+0xff/0x230 <TASK> vmemmap_populate_hugepages+0x176/0x180 vmemmap_populate+0x34/0x80 __populate_section_memmap+0x41/0x90 sparse_add_section+0x121/0x3e0 __add_pages+0xba/0x150 add_pages+0x1d/0x70 memremap_pages+0x3dc/0x810 devm_memremap_pages+0x1c/0x60 xe_devm_add+0x8b/0x100 [xe] xe_tile_init_noalloc+0x6a/0x70 [xe] xe_device_probe+0x48c/0x740 [xe] [... snip ...] Cc: <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> Fixes: 8d400913c231 ("x86/vmemmap: handle unpopulated sub-pmd ranges") Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20250311114420.240341-1-gwan-gyeong.mun@in… [1] Suggested-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen(a)linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Kiryl Shutsemau <kas(a)kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt(a)kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes(a)oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo(a)oracle.com> --- arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64_types.h | 3 +++ arch/x86/mm/init_64.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64_types.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64_types.h index 4604f924d8b8..7eb61ef6a185 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64_types.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64_types.h @@ -36,6 +36,9 @@ static inline bool pgtable_l5_enabled(void) #define pgtable_l5_enabled() cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57) #endif /* USE_EARLY_PGTABLE_L5 */ +#define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK \ + (pgtable_l5_enabled() ?

[PATCH v3] mm: Fix possible deadlock in console_trylock_spinning

by Gu Bowen

Our syztester report the lockdep WARNING [1]. kmemleak_scan_thread() invokes scan_block() which may invoke a nomal printk() to print warning message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported below: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(kmemleak_lock); lock(&port->lock); lock(kmemleak_lock); lock(console_owner); To solve this problem, switch to printk_safe mode before printing warning message, this will redirect all printk()-s to a special per-CPU buffer, which will be flushed later from a safe context (irq work), and this deadlock problem can be avoided. The proper API to use should be printk_deferred_enter()/printk_deferred_exit() if we want to deferred the printing [2]. This patch also fixes other similar case that need to use the printk deferring [3].
