[PATCH net] gve: defer interrupt enabling until NAPI registration

by Harshitha Ramamurthy

From: Ankit Garg <nktgrg(a)google.com> Currently, interrupts are automatically enabled immediately upon request. This allows interrupt to fire before the associated NAPI context is fully initialized and cause failures like below: [ 0.946369] Call Trace: [ 0.946369] <IRQ> [ 0.946369] __napi_poll+0x2a/0x1e0 [ 0.946369] net_rx_action+0x2f9/0x3f0 [ 0.946369] handle_softirqs+0xd6/0x2c0 [ 0.946369] ? handle_edge_irq+0xc1/0x1b0 [ 0.946369] __irq_exit_rcu+0xc3/0xe0 [ 0.946369] common_interrupt+0x81/0xa0 [ 0.946369] </IRQ> [ 0.946369] <TASK> [ 0.946369] asm_common_interrupt+0x22/0x40 [ 0.946369] RIP: 0010:pv_native_safe_halt+0xb/0x10 Use the `IRQF_NO_AUTOEN` flag when requesting interrupts to prevent auto enablement and explicitly enable the interrupt in NAPI initialization path (and disable it during NAPI teardown). This ensures that interrupt lifecycle is strictly coupled with readiness of NAPI context.

[PATCH] gfs2: Fix use-after-free in gfs2_fill_super

by Ryota Sakamoto

The issue occurs when gfs2_freeze_lock_shared() fails in gfs2_fill_super(). If !sb_rdonly(sb), threads for the quotad and logd were started, however, in the error path for gfs2_freeze_lock_shared(), the threads are not stopped by gfs2_destroy_threads() before jumping to fail_per_node. This patch introduces fail_threads to handle stopping the threads if the threads were started.

[PATCH] rust_binder: correctly handle FDA objects of length zero

by Alice Ryhl

Fix a bug where an empty FDA (fd array) object with 0 fds would cause an out-of-bounds error. The previous implementation used `skip == 0` to mean "this is a pointer fixup", but 0 is also the correct skip length for an empty FDA. If the FDA is at the end of the buffer, then this results in an attempt to write 8-bytes out of bounds. This is caught and results in an EINVAL error being returned to userspace. The pattern of using `skip == 0` as a special value originates from the C-implementation of Binder. As part of fixing this bug, this pattern is replaced with a Rust enum. I considered the alternate option of not pushing a fixup when the length is zero, but I think it's cleaner to just get rid of the zero-is-special stuff. The root cause of this bug was diagnosed by Gemini CLI on first try. I used the following prompt: > There appears to be a bug in @drivers/android/binder/thread.rs where > the Fixups oob bug is triggered with 316 304 316 324. This implies > that we somehow ended up with a fixup where buffer A has a pointer to > buffer B, but the pointer is located at an index in buffer A that is > out of bounds. Please investigate the code to find the bug. You may > compare with @drivers/android/binder.c that implements this correctly.

[PATCH] dmaengine: fix a reference leak in __dma_async_device_channel_register()

by Haoxiang Li

After device_register() is called, put_device() is required to drop the device reference. In this case, put_device() -> chan_dev_release() will finally release chan->dev. Thus there is no need to call kfree again to release the chan->dev. Found by code review.

Hi, I’m reporting a performance regression of up to 6% sequential I/O vdbench regression observed on 6.12.y kernel. While running performance benchmarks on v6.12.60 kernel the sequential I/O vdbench metrics are showing a 5-6% performance regression when compared to v6.12.48 Bisect root cause commit ======================== - commit b39b62075ab4 ("cpuidle: menu: Remove iowait influence") Things work fine again when the previously removed performance-multiplier code is added back. Test details ============ The system is connected to a number of disks in disk array using multipathing and directio configuration in the vdbench profile. wd=wd1,sd=sd*,rdpct=0,seekpct=sequential,xfersize=128k rd=128k64T,wd=wd1,iorate=max,elapsed=600,interval=1,warmup=300,threads=64 Thanks, Alok

This is necessary because this code assumes that vector unaligned accesses are supported and are efficient. (It does so to avoid having to use lots of extra vsetvli instructions to switch the element width back and forth between 8 and either 32 or 64.) This was omitted from the code originally just because the RISC-V kernel support for detecting this feature didn't exist yet. Support has now been added, but it's fragmented into per-CPU runtime detection, a command-line parameter, and a kconfig option. The kconfig option is the only reasonable way to do it, though, so let's just rely on that.

The commit e1a453a57bc7 ("tracing: Do not add length to print format in synthetic events") fixed the dynamic part but did not fix the static part.

But if one were to replace that with a static size string: # echo 's:wake_lat char[16] wakee; u64 delta;' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events Where "wakee" is defined as "char[16]" and not "char[]" making it a static size, the code triggered the "(efaul)" again. Remove the added STR_VAR_LEN_MAX size as the string is still going to be nul terminated.
