[PATCH v2] fs/adfs: bigdir: Restore EIO errno return when checkbyte mismatch

by Zhen Ni

The error path in adfs_fplus_read() prints an error message via adfs_error() but incorrectly returns success (0) to the caller. This occurs because the 'ret' variable remains set to 0 from the earlier successful call to adfs_fplus_validate_tail(). Fix by setting 'ret = -EIO' before jumping to the error exit. This issue was detected by smatch static analysis: warning: fs/adfs/dir_fplus.c:146: adfs_fplus_read() warn: missing error code 'ret'.

[PATCH] drm/xe: Defer buffer object shrinker write-backs and GPU waits

by Thomas Hellström

When the xe buffer-object shrinker allows GPU waits and write-back, (typically from kswapd), perform multilpe passes, skipping subsequent passes if the shrinker number of scanned objects target is reached. 1) Without GPU waits and write-back 2) Without write-back 3) With both GPU-waits and write-back This is to avoid stalls and costly write- and readbacks unless they are really necessary.

[PATCH v4] x86/cpu/intel: Fix the constant_tsc model check for Pentium 4

by Suchit Karunakaran

Pentium 4's which are INTEL_P4_PRESCOTT (model 0x03) and later have a constant TSC. This was correctly captured until commit fadb6f569b10 ("x86/cpu/intel: Limit the non-architectural constant_tsc model checks"). In that commit, an error was introduced while selecting the last P4 model (0x06) as the upper bound. Model 0x06 was transposed to INTEL_P4_WILLAMETTE, which is just plain wrong. That was presumably a simple typo, probably just copying and pasting the wrong P4 model. Fix the constant TSC logic to cover all later P4 models. End at INTEL_P4_CEDARMILL which accurately corresponds to the last P4 model.

[PATCH net v2] net/packet: fix a race in packet_set_ring() and packet_notifier()

by Willem de Bruijn

From: Quang Le <quanglex97(a)gmail.com> When packet_set_ring() releases po->bind_lock, another thread can run packet_notifier() and process an NETDEV_UP event. This race and the fix are both similar to that of commit 15fe076edea7 ("net/packet: fix a race in packet_bind() and packet_notifier()"). There too the packet_notifier NETDEV_UP event managed to run while a po->bind_lock critical section had to be temporarily released. And the fix was similarly to temporarily set po->num to zero to keep the socket unhooked until the lock is retaken. The po->bind_lock in packet_set_ring and packet_notifier precede the introduction of git history.

[PATCH v2 0/4] i2c: rtl9300: Fix multi-byte I2C operations

by Sven Eckelmann

During the integration of the RTL8239 POE chip + its frontend MCU, it was noticed that multi-byte operations were basically broken in the current driver. Tests using SMBus Block Writes showed that the data (after the Wr + Ack marker) was mixed up on the wire. At first glance, it looked like an endianness problem. But for transfers were the number of count + data bytes was not divisible by 4, the last bytes were not looking like an endianness problem because they were were in the wrong order but not for example 0 - which would be the case for an endianness problem with 32 bit registers. At the end, it turned out to be a the way how i2c_write tried to add the bytes to the send registers. Each 32 bit register was used similar to a shift register - shifting the various bytes up the register while the next one is added to the least significant byte. But the I2C controller expects the first byte of the tranmission in the least significant byte of the first register. And the last byte (assuming it is a 16 byte transfer) in the most significant byte of the fourth register. While doing these tests, it was also observed that the count byte was missing from the SMBus Block Writes. The driver just removed them from the data->block (from the I2C subsystem). But the I2C controller DOES NOT automatically add this byte - for example by using the configured transmission length. The RTL8239 MCU is not actually an SMBus compliant device. Instead, it expects I2C Block Reads + I2C Block Writes. But according to the already identified bugs in the driver, it was clear that the I2C controller can simply be modified to not send the count byte for I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA. The receive part, just needs to write the content of the receive buffer to the correct position in data->block. While the on-wire formwat was now correct, reads were still not possible against the MCU (for the RTL8239 POE chip). It was always timing out because the 2ms were not enough for sending the read request and then receiving the 12 byte answer. These changes were originally submitted to OpenWrt. But there are plans to migrate OpenWrt to the upstream Linux driver. As result, the pull request was stopped and the changes were redone against this driver. For reasons of transparency: The work on I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA support for the RTL8239-MCU was done on RTL931xx. All problem were therefore detected with the patches from Jonas Jelonek [1] and not the vanilla Linux driver. But looking through the code, it seems like these are NOT regressions introduced by the RTL931x patchset.

[PATCH] eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

by Jann Horn

Ensure that epoll instances can never form a graph deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS+1 links. Currently, ep_loop_check_proc() ensures that the graph is loop-free and does some recursion depth checks, but those recursion depth checks don't limit the depth of the resulting tree for two reasons: - They don't look upwards in the tree. - If there are multiple downwards paths of different lengths, only one of the paths is actually considered for the depth check since commit 28d82dc1c4ed ("epoll: limit paths"). Essentially, the current recursion depth check in ep_loop_check_proc() just serves to prevent it from recursing too deeply while checking for loops. A more thorough check is done in reverse_path_check() after the new graph edge has already been created; this checks, among other things, that no paths going upwards from any non-epoll file with a length of more than 5 edges exist. However, this check does not apply to non-epoll files. As a result, it is possible to recurse to a depth of at least roughly 500, tested on v6.15. (I am unsure if deeper recursion is possible; and this may have changed with commit 8c44dac8add7 ("eventpoll: Fix priority inversion problem").) To fix it: 1. In ep_loop_check_proc(), note the subtree depth of each visited node, and use subtree depths for the total depth calculation even when a subtree has already been visited. 2. Add ep_get_upwards_depth_proc() for similarly determining the maximum depth of an upwards walk. 3. In ep_loop_check(), use these values to limit the total path length between epoll nodes to EP_MAX_NESTS edges.

The commit message shows real error messages users encounter ("xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command"), demonstrating this is a real-world debugging problem. 2. **Minimal and Safe Change**: The change is extremely small and safe - it only modifies a debug print statement from: ```c xhci_dbg(xhci, "xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command\n"); ``` to: ```c xhci_dbg(xhci, "xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command. state: 0x%x\n", xhci->xhc_state); ``` 3. **No Functional Changes**: This is a pure diagnostic improvement. It doesn't change any logic, control flow, or data structures. It only adds the state value (0x%x format) to an existing debug message. 4. **Important for Troubleshooting**: The xHCI driver is critical for USB functionality, and when it fails with "dying or halted" states, knowing the exact state helps diagnose whether: - `XHCI_STATE_DYING` (0x1) - controller is dying - `XHCI_STATE_HALTED` (0x2) - controller is halted - Both states (0x3) - controller has both flags set This distinction is valuable for debugging hardware issues, driver bugs, or system problems. 5. **Zero Risk of Regression**: Adding a parameter to a debug print statement has no risk of introducing regressions. The worst case is the debug message prints the state value. 6. **Follows Stable Rules**: This meets stable kernel criteria as it: - Fixes a real debugging limitation - Is obviously correct - Has been tested (signed-off and accepted by Greg KH) - Is small (single line change) - Doesn't add new features, just improves existing diagnostics The commit helps system administrators and developers diagnose USB issues more effectively by providing the actual state value rather than just saying "dying or halted", making it a valuable debugging enhancement for stable kernels. drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c index 44352df58c9e..c6d89b51c678 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-ring.c @@ -4454,7 +4454,8 @@ static int queue_command(struct xhci_hcd *xhci, struct xhci_command *cmd, if ((xhci->xhc_state & XHCI_STATE_DYING) || (xhci->xhc_state & XHCI_STATE_HALTED)) { - xhci_dbg(xhci, "xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command\n"); + xhci_dbg(xhci, "xHCI dying or halted, can't queue_command. state: 0x%x\n", + xhci->xhc_state); return -ESHUTDOWN; } -- 2.39.5

[PATCH v2] powerpc/mm: Fix SLB multihit issue during SLB preload

by Donet Tom

On systems using the hash MMU, there is a software SLB preload cache that mirrors the entries loaded into the hardware SLB buffer. This preload cache is subject to periodic eviction — typically after every 256 context switches — to remove old entry. To optimize performance, the kernel skips switch_mmu_context() in switch_mm_irqs_off() when the prev and next mm_struct are the same. However, on hash MMU systems, this can lead to inconsistencies between the hardware SLB and the software preload cache. If an SLB entry for a process is evicted from the software cache on one CPU, and the same process later runs on another CPU without executing switch_mmu_context(), the hardware SLB may retain stale entries. If the kernel then attempts to reload that entry, it can trigger an SLB multi-hit error. The following timeline shows how stale SLB entries are created and can cause a multi-hit error when a process moves between CPUs without a MMU context switch. CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- Process P exec swapper/1 load_elf_binary begin_new_exc activate_mm switch_mm_irqs_off switch_mmu_context switch_slb /* * This invalidates all * the entries in the HW * and setup the new HW * SLB entries as per the * preload cache. */ context_switch sched_migrate_task migrates process P to cpu-1 Process swapper/0 context switch (to process P) (uses mm_struct of Process P) switch_mm_irqs_off() switch_slb load_slb++ /* * load_slb becomes 0 here * and we evict an entry from * the preload cache with * preload_age(). We still * keep HW SLB and preload * cache in sync, that is * because all HW SLB entries * anyways gets evicted in * switch_slb during SLBIA. * We then only add those * entries back in HW SLB, * which are currently * present in preload_cache * (after eviction). */ load_elf_binary continues... setup_new_exec() slb_setup_new_exec() sched_switch event sched_migrate_task migrates process P to cpu-0 context_switch from swapper/0 to Process P switch_mm_irqs_off() /* * Since both prev and next mm struct are same we don't call * switch_mmu_context(). This will cause the HW SLB and SW preload * cache to go out of sync in preload_new_slb_context. Because there * was an SLB entry which was evicted from both HW and preload cache * on cpu-1. Now later in preload_new_slb_context(), when we will try * to add the same preload entry again, we will add this to the SW * preload cache and then will add it to the HW SLB. Since on cpu-0 * this entry was never invalidated, hence adding this entry to the HW * SLB will cause a SLB multi-hit error. */ load_elf_binary continues... START_THREAD start_thread preload_new_slb_context /* * This tries to add a new EA to preload cache which was earlier * evicted from both cpu-1 HW SLB and preload cache. This caused the * HW SLB of cpu-0 to go out of sync with the SW preload cache. The * reason for this was, that when we context switched back on CPU-0, * we should have ideally called switch_mmu_context() which will * bring the HW SLB entries on CPU-0 in sync with SW preload cache * entries by setting up the mmu context properly. But we didn't do * that since the prev mm_struct running on cpu-0 was same as the * next mm_struct (which is true for swapper / kernel threads). So * now when we try to add this new entry into the HW SLB of cpu-0, * we hit a SLB multi-hit error. */ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1810970 at arch/powerpc/mm/book3s64/slb.c:62 assert_slb_presence+0x2c/0x50(48 results) 02:47:29 [20157/42149] Modules linked in: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1810970 Comm: dd Not tainted 6.16.0-rc3-dirty #12 VOLUNTARY Hardware name: IBM pSeries (emulated by qemu) POWER8 (architected) 0x4d0200 0xf000004 of:SLOF,HEAD hv:linux,kvm pSeries NIP: c00000000015426c LR: c0000000001543b4 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c0000000497c77e0 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (6.16.0-rc3-dirty) MSR: 8000000002823033 <SF,VEC,VSX,FP,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 28888482 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c0000000001543b0 IRQMASK: 3 <...> NIP [c00000000015426c] assert_slb_presence+0x2c/0x50 LR [c0000000001543b4] slb_insert_entry+0x124/0x390 Call Trace: 0x7fffceb5ffff (unreliable) preload_new_slb_context+0x100/0x1a0 start_thread+0x26c/0x420 load_elf_binary+0x1b04/0x1c40 bprm_execve+0x358/0x680 do_execveat_common+0x1f8/0x240 sys_execve+0x58/0x70 system_call_exception+0x114/0x300 system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4 To fix this issue, we add a code change to always switch the MMU context on hash MMU if the SLB preload cache has aged.
