Its filename was mm-page_alloc-fix-race-condition-in-unaccepted-memory-handling.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov(a)linux.intel.com> Subject: mm/page_alloc: fix race condition in unaccepted memory handling Date: Tue, 6 May 2025 16:32:07 +0300 The page allocator tracks the number of zones that have unaccepted memory using static_branch_enc/dec() and uses that static branch in hot paths to determine if it needs to deal with unaccepted memory. Borislav and Thomas pointed out that the tracking is racy: operations on static_branch are not serialized against adding/removing unaccepted pages to/from the zone. Sanity checks inside static_branch machinery detects it: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at kernel/jump_label.c:276 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked+0x8e/0xa0 The comment around the WARN() explains the problem: /* * Warn about the '-1' case though; since that means a * decrement is concurrent with a first (0->1) increment. IOW * people are trying to disable something that wasn't yet fully * enabled. This suggests an ordering problem on the user side. */ The effect of this static_branch optimization is only visible on microbenchmark. Instead of adding more complexity around it, remove it altogether. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250506133207.1009676-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.in… Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-hugetlb-fix-incorrect-fallback-for-subpool.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlb-fix-incorrect-fallback-for-subpool.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wupeng Ma <mawupeng1(a)huawei.com> Subject: mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:26:33 +0800 During our testing with hugetlb subpool enabled, we observe that hstate->resv_huge_pages may underflow into negative values. Root cause analysis reveals a race condition in subpool reservation fallback handling as follow: hugetlb_reserve_pages() /* Attempt subpool reservation */ gbl_reserve = hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, chg); /* Global reservation may fail after subpool allocation */ if (hugetlb_acct_memory(h, gbl_reserve) < 0) goto out_put_pages; out_put_pages: /* This incorrectly restores reservation to subpool */ hugepage_subpool_put_pages(spool, chg); When hugetlb_acct_memory() fails after subpool allocation, the current implementation over-commits subpool reservations by returning the full 'chg' value instead of the actual allocated 'gbl_reserve' amount. This discrepancy propagates to global reservations during subsequent releases, eventually causing resv_huge_pages underflow. This problem can be trigger easily with the following steps: 1. reverse hugepage for hugeltb allocation 2. mount hugetlbfs with min_size to enable hugetlb subpool 3. alloc hugepages with two task(make sure the second will fail due to insufficient amount of hugepages) 4. with for a few seconds and repeat step 3 which will make hstate->resv_huge_pages to go below zero. To fix this problem, return corrent amount of pages to subpool during the fallback after hugepage_subpool_get_pages is called.

[PATCH] clk: meson-g12a: fix missing spicc clks to clk_sel

by Da Xue

HHI_SPICC_CLK_CNTL bits 25:23 controls spicc clk_sel. It is missing fclk_div 2 and gp0_pll which causes the spicc module to output the incorrect clocks for spicc sclk at 2.5x the expected rate.

[PATCH V3 2/2] PCI: Prevent LS7A Bus Master clearing on kexec

by Huacai Chen

This is similar to commit 62b6dee1b44a ("PCI/portdrv: Prevent LS7A Bus Master clearing on shutdown"), which prevents LS7A Bus Master clearing on kexec. The key point of this is to work around the LS7A defect that clearing PCI_COMMAND_MASTER prevents MMIO requests from going downstream, and we may need to do that even after .shutdown(), e.g., to print console messages. And in this case we rely on .shutdown() for the downstream devices to disable interrupts and DMA. Only skip Bus Master clearing on bridges because endpoint devices still need it.

[PATCH v2] kbuild: Disable -Wdefault-const-init-unsafe

by Nathan Chancellor

A new on by default warning in clang [1] aims to flags instances where const variables without static or thread local storage or const members in aggregate types are not initialized because it can lead to an indeterminate value. This is quite noisy for the kernel due to instances originating from header files such as: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_ring.h:62:2: error: default initialization of an object of type 'typeof (ring->size)' (aka 'const unsigned int') leaves the object uninitialized [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-var-unsafe] 62 | typecheck(typeof(ring->size), next); | ^ include/linux/typecheck.h:10:9: note: expanded from macro 'typecheck' 10 | ({ type __dummy; \ | ^ include/net/ip.h:478:14: error: default initialization of an object of type 'typeof (rt->dst.expires)' (aka 'const unsigned long') leaves the object uninitialized [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-var-unsafe] 478 | if (mtu && time_before(jiffies, rt->dst.expires)) | ^ include/linux/jiffies.h:138:26: note: expanded from macro 'time_before' 138 | #define time_before(a,b) time_after(b,a) | ^ include/linux/jiffies.h:128:3: note: expanded from macro 'time_after' 128 | (typecheck(unsigned long, a) && \ | ^ include/linux/typecheck.h:11:12: note: expanded from macro 'typecheck' 11 | typeof(x) __dummy2; \ | ^ include/linux/list.h:409:27: warning: default initialization of an object of type 'union (unnamed union at include/linux/list.h:409:27)' with const member leaves the object uninitialized [-Wdefault-const-init-field-unsafe] 409 | struct list_head *next = smp_load_acquire(&head->next); | ^ include/asm-generic/barrier.h:176:29: note: expanded from macro 'smp_load_acquire' 176 | #define smp_load_acquire(p) __smp_load_acquire(p) | ^ arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h:164:59: note: expanded from macro '__smp_load_acquire' 164 | union { __unqual_scalar_typeof(*p) __val; char __c[1]; } __u; \ | ^ include/linux/list.h:409:27: note: member '__val' declared 'const' here crypto/scatterwalk.c:66:22: error: default initialization of an object of type 'struct scatter_walk' with const member leaves the object uninitialized [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-field-unsafe] 66 | struct scatter_walk walk; | ^ include/crypto/algapi.h:112:15: note: member 'addr' declared 'const' here 112 | void *const addr; | ^ fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c:733:24: error: default initialization of an object of type 'struct vm_area_struct' with const member leaves the object uninitialized [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-field-unsafe] 733 | struct vm_area_struct pseudo_vma; | ^ include/linux/mm_types.h:803:20: note: member 'vm_flags' declared 'const' here 803 | const vm_flags_t vm_flags; | ^ Silencing the instances from typecheck.h is difficult because '= {}' is not available in older but supported compilers and '= {0}' would cause warnings about a literal 0 being treated as NULL. While it might be possible to come up with a local hack to silence the warning for clang-21+, it may not be worth it since -Wuninitialized will still trigger if an uninitialized const variable is actually used. In all audited cases of the "field" variant of the warning, the members are either not used in the particular call path, modified through other means such as memset() / memcpy() because the containing object is not const, or are within a union with other non-const members. Since this warning does not appear to have a high signal to noise ratio, just disable it.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 001/642] kconfig: merge_config: use an empty file as initfile

by Sasha Levin

From: Daniel Gomez <da.gomez(a)samsung.com> [ Upstream commit a26fe287eed112b4e21e854f173c8918a6a8596d ] The scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh script requires an existing $INITFILE (or the $1 argument) as a base file for merging Kconfig fragments. However, an empty $INITFILE can serve as an initial starting point, later referenced by the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG Makefile variable if -m is not used. This variable can point to any configuration file containing preset config symbols (the merged output) as stated in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.rst. When -m is used $INITFILE will contain just the merge output requiring the user to run make (i.e. KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=<$INITFILE> make <allnoconfig/alldefconfig> or make olddefconfig). Instead of failing when `$INITFILE` is missing, create an empty file and use it as the starting point for merges.
