Lockdep found an inconsistent lock state when rcu is processing delayed
work in softirq.  Currently, kernel is using spin_lock/spin_unlock to
protect proc_inum_ida, but proc_free_inum is called by rcu in softirq
context.

Use spin_lock_bh/spin_unlock_bh fix following lockdep warning.

commit 4523e14 upstream.

hugetlb_reserve_pages() can be used for either normal file-backed
hugetlbfs mappings, or MAP_HUGETLB.  In the MAP_HUGETLB, semi-anonymous
mode, there is not a VMA around.  The new call to resv_map_put() assumed
that there was, and resulted in a NULL pointer dereference:

This was reported by Dave Jones, but was reproducible with the
libhugetlbfs test cases, so shame on me for not running them in the
first place.

With this, the oops is gone, and the output of libhugetlbfs's
run_tests.py is identical to plain 3.4 again.

[ Marked for stable, since this was introduced by commit c50ac05
  ("hugetlb: fix resv_map leak in error path") which was also marked for
  stable ]

As the new x86 CPU bootup printout format code maintainer, I am
taking immediate action to improve and clean (and thus indulge
my OCD) the reporting of the cores when coming up online.

Fix padding to a right-hand alignment, cleanup code and bind
reporting width to the max number of supported CPUs on the

The irq data for rng module defined in hwmod data previously
missed the OMAP_INTC_START relative offset, so the interrupt
number is probably misconfigured during the DT node addition
adjusting for this OMAP_INTC_START. Interrupt #36 is associated
with a watchdog timer, so fix the rng module's interrupt to the
appropriate interrupt #52.

…hotplug notif.

This is to fix an issue of sleeping in atomic context when processing
hotplug notifications in Exynos MCT(Multi-Core Timer).
The issue was reproducible on Exynos 3250 (Rinato board) and Exynos 5420
(Arndale Octa board).

Whilst testing cpu hotplug events on kernel configured with DEBUG_PREEMPT
and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP we get following BUG message, caused by calling
request_irq() and free_irq() in the context of hotplug notification
(which is in this case atomic context).

Solution:
Clockevent irqs cannot be requested/freed every time cpu is
hot-plugged/unplugged as CPU_STARTING/CPU_DYING notifications
that signals hotplug or unplug events are sent with both preemption
and local interrupts disabled. Since request_irq() may sleep it is
moved to the initialization stage and performed for all possible
cpus prior putting them online. Then, in the case of hotplug event
the irq asociated with the given cpu will simply be enabled.
Similarly on cpu unplug event the interrupt is not freed but just
disabled.

Note that after successful request_irq() call for a clockevent device
associated to given cpu the requested irq is disabled (via disable_irq()).
That is to make things symmetric as we expect hotplug event as a next
thing (which will enable irq again). This should not pose any problems
because at the time of requesting irq the clockevent device is not
fully initialized yet, therefore should not produce interrupts at that point.

For disabling an irq at cpu unplug notification disable_irq_nosync() is
chosen which is a non-blocking function. This again shouldn't be a problem as
prior sending CPU_DYING notification interrupts are migrated away
from the cpu.

Switch to new UART driver from upstream

This switches to the new UART driver that is now heading upstream
(in Ralf's upstream-sfr tree).

The reason this is done is because there still remain a few things that output to
UART0 rather than UART4 (the dedicated UART header), like the early console. 

The current code has UART0 harcoded for this.

The upstream driver allows the early console UART to be configured by DT,
so take advantage of this by switching to that driver and setting stdout-path
to UART4 in DT.

All serial output from the kernel should now go to UART4 by default.

commit d3af6ca upstream.

After hid_hw_start() is called hidinput_connect() will eventually be
called to set up the device with the input layer since the
HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT connect mask is used. During hidinput_connect()
all input and output reports are processed and corresponding hid_inputs
are allocated and configured via hidinput_configure_usages(). This
process involves slot tagging report fields and configuring usages
by setting relevant bits in the capability bitmaps. However it is possible
that the capability bitmaps are not set at all leading to the subsequent
hidinput_has_been_populated() check to fail leading to the freeing of the
hid_input and the underlying input device.

This becomes problematic because a malicious HID device like a
ASUS ROG N-Key keyboard can trigger the above scenario via a
specially crafted descriptor which then leads to a user-after-free
when the name of the freed input device is written to later on after
hid_hw_start(). Below, report 93 intentionally utilises the
HID_UP_UNDEFINED Usage Page which is skipped during usage
configuration, leading to the frees.

commit d3af6ca upstream.

After hid_hw_start() is called hidinput_connect() will eventually be
called to set up the device with the input layer since the
HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT connect mask is used. During hidinput_connect()
all input and output reports are processed and corresponding hid_inputs
are allocated and configured via hidinput_configure_usages(). This
process involves slot tagging report fields and configuring usages
by setting relevant bits in the capability bitmaps. However it is possible
that the capability bitmaps are not set at all leading to the subsequent
hidinput_has_been_populated() check to fail leading to the freeing of the
hid_input and the underlying input device.

This becomes problematic because a malicious HID device like a
ASUS ROG N-Key keyboard can trigger the above scenario via a
specially crafted descriptor which then leads to a user-after-free
when the name of the freed input device is written to later on after
hid_hw_start(). Below, report 93 intentionally utilises the
HID_UP_UNDEFINED Usage Page which is skipped during usage
configuration, leading to the frees.

commit d3af6ca upstream.

After hid_hw_start() is called hidinput_connect() will eventually be
called to set up the device with the input layer since the
HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT connect mask is used. During hidinput_connect()
all input and output reports are processed and corresponding hid_inputs
are allocated and configured via hidinput_configure_usages(). This
process involves slot tagging report fields and configuring usages
by setting relevant bits in the capability bitmaps. However it is possible
that the capability bitmaps are not set at all leading to the subsequent
hidinput_has_been_populated() check to fail leading to the freeing of the
hid_input and the underlying input device.

This becomes problematic because a malicious HID device like a
ASUS ROG N-Key keyboard can trigger the above scenario via a
specially crafted descriptor which then leads to a user-after-free
when the name of the freed input device is written to later on after
hid_hw_start(). Below, report 93 intentionally utilises the
HID_UP_UNDEFINED Usage Page which is skipped during usage
configuration, leading to the frees.

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

MatthewCroughan pushed a commit to MatthewCroughan/linux that referenced this pull request Sep 10, 2025
After hid_hw_start() is called hidinput_connect() will eventually be
called to set up the device with the input layer since the
HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT connect mask is used. During hidinput_connect()
all input and output reports are processed and corresponding hid_inputs
are allocated and configured via hidinput_configure_usages(). This
process involves slot tagging report fields and configuring usages
by setting relevant bits in the capability bitmaps. However it is possible
that the capability bitmaps are not set at all leading to the subsequent
hidinput_has_been_populated() check to fail leading to the freeing of the
hid_input and the underlying input device.

This becomes problematic because a malicious HID device like a
ASUS ROG N-Key keyboard can trigger the above scenario via a
specially crafted descriptor which then leads to a user-after-free
when the name of the freed input device is written to later on after
hid_hw_start(). Below, report 93 intentionally utilises the
HID_UP_UNDEFINED Usage Page which is skipped during usage
configuration, leading to the frees.

and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without

[ Upstream commit 0bb2f7a ]

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.

[ Upstream commit 0bb2f7a ]

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

[ Upstream commit 0bb2f7a ]

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

[ Upstream commit 0bb2f7a ]

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

[ Upstream commit 0bb2f7a ]

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2.

As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would
like to remove it.

To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is
because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the
memmap is allocated per memory section.

While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb
and dax folios can.

So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing.
Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from
page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty.

Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it
might be dropped.

We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages".  If we
only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page().

Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within
CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner
case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span
memory sections).

So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page().

Patch #1 -> #5   : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups
Patch torvalds#6 -> torvalds#13  : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#14 -> torvalds#20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios
Patch torvalds#22        : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages
Patch torvalds#23 -> torvalds#33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry
Patch torvalds#34        : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in
                   unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock()
Patch torvalds#35        : remove nth_page() in kfence
Patch torvalds#36        : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page
Patch torvalds#37        : mm: remove nth_page()

A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason
and me, so cudos to them.


This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

This patch (of 37):

In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is
considered too costly and consequently not supported.

However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for
arm64, s390 and x86.

So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone
for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc.  All architectures only enable
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big
downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary).

This is a preparation for not supporting

(1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section

(2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges

in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit
possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page
allocations suddenly fails).

commit 0bb2f7a upstream.

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

1054009064 pushed a commit to 1054009064/linux that referenced this pull request Oct 2, 2025
[ Upstream commit 0bb2f7a ]

When I ran the repro [0] and waited a few seconds, I observed two
LOCKDEP splats: a warning immediately followed by a null-ptr-deref. [1]

Reproduction Steps:

  1) Mount CIFS
  2) Add an iptables rule to drop incoming FIN packets for CIFS
  3) Unmount CIFS
  4) Unload the CIFS module
  5) Remove the iptables rule

At step 3), the CIFS module calls sock_release() for the underlying
TCP socket, and it returns quickly.  However, the socket remains in
FIN_WAIT_1 because incoming FIN packets are dropped.

At this point, the module's refcnt is 0 while the socket is still
alive, so the following rmmod command succeeds.

  # ss -tan
  State      Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:Port
  FIN-WAIT-1 0      477        10.0.2.15:51062   10.0.0.137:445

  # lsmod | grep cifs
  cifs                 1159168  0

This highlights a discrepancy between the lifetime of the CIFS module
and the underlying TCP socket.  Even after CIFS calls sock_release()
and it returns, the TCP socket does not die immediately in order to
close the connection gracefully.

While this is generally fine, it causes an issue with LOCKDEP because
CIFS assigns a different lock class to the TCP socket's sk->sk_lock
using sock_lock_init_class_and_name().

Once an incoming packet is processed for the socket or a timer fires,
sk->sk_lock is acquired.

Then, LOCKDEP checks the lock context in check_wait_context(), where
hlock_class() is called to retrieve the lock class.  However, since
the module has already been unloaded, hlock_class() logs a warning
and returns NULL, triggering the null-ptr-deref.

If LOCKDEP is enabled, we must ensure that a module calling
sock_lock_init_class_and_name() (CIFS, NFS, etc) cannot be unloaded
while such a socket is still alive to prevent this issue.

Let's hold the module reference in sock_lock_init_class_and_name()
and release it when the socket is freed in sk_prot_free().

Note that sock_lock_init() clears sk->sk_owner for svc_create_socket()
that calls sock_lock_init_class_and_name() for a listening socket,
which clones a socket by sk_clone_lock() without GFP_ZERO.

Leo-Yan pushed a commit to Leo-Yan/linux that referenced this pull request Oct 8, 2025
After hid_hw_start() is called hidinput_connect() will eventually be
called to set up the device with the input layer since the
HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT connect mask is used. During hidinput_connect()
all input and output reports are processed and corresponding hid_inputs
are allocated and configured via hidinput_configure_usages(). This
process involves slot tagging report fields and configuring usages
by setting relevant bits in the capability bitmaps. However it is possible
that the capability bitmaps are not set at all leading to the subsequent
hidinput_has_been_populated() check to fail leading to the freeing of the
hid_input and the underlying input device.

This becomes problematic because a malicious HID device like a
ASUS ROG N-Key keyboard can trigger the above scenario via a
specially crafted descriptor which then leads to a user-after-free
when the name of the freed input device is written to later on after
hid_hw_start(). Below, report 93 intentionally utilises the
HID_UP_UNDEFINED Usage Page which is skipped during usage
configuration, leading to the frees.
