Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
- ublk selftests for missing coverage
- two fixes for the block integrity code
- fix for the newly added newly added PR read keys ioctl, limiting the
memory that can be allocated
- work around for a deadlock that can occur with ublk, where partition
scanning ends up recursing back into file closure, which needs the
same mutex grabbed. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but an
acceptable work-around until we can eliminate the reliance on
disk->open_mutex for this
- fix for a race between enabling writeback throttling and new IO
submissions
- move a bit of bio flag handling code. No changes, but needed for a
patchset for a future kernel
- fix for an init time id leak failure in rnbd
- loop/zloop state check fix

When one process(such as udev) opens ublk block device (e.g., to read
the partition table via bdev_open()), a deadlock[1] can occur:
1. bdev_open() grabs disk->open_mutex
2. The process issues read I/O to ublk backend to read partition table
3. In __ublk_complete_rq(), blk_update_request() or blk_mq_end_request()
runs bio->bi_end_io() callbacks
4. If this triggers fput() on file descriptor of ublk block device, the
work may be deferred to current task's task work (see fput() implementation)
5. This eventually calls blkdev_release() from the same context
6. blkdev_release() tries to grab disk->open_mutex again
7. Deadlock: same task waiting for a mutex it already holds
The fix is to run blk_update_request() and blk_mq_end_request() with bottom
halves disabled. This forces blkdev_release() to run in kernel work-queue
context instead of current task work context, and allows ublk server to make
forward progress, and avoids the deadlock.

In the queue_rq path, zlo->state is accessed without locking, and direct

__bio_for_each_segment() uses the returned struct bio_vec's bv_len field
to advance the struct bvec_iter at the end of each loop iteration. So
it's incorrect to modify it during the loop. Don't assign to bv_len (or
bv_offset, for that matter) in ublk_copy_user_pages().

Handling most of the ublksrv_ctrl_cmd opcodes require locking a mutex,
so ublk_ctrl_uring_cmd() bails out with EAGAIN when called with the
IO_URING_F_NONBLOCK issue flag. However, several opcodes can be handled
without blocking:
- UBLK_CMD_GET_QUEUE_AFFINITY
- UBLK_CMD_GET_DEV_INFO
- UBLK_CMD_GET_DEV_INFO2
- UBLK_U_CMD_GET_FEATURES
Handle these opcodes synchronously instead of returning EAGAIN so
io_uring doesn't need to issue the command via the worker thread pool.

Add a new helper function blk_rq_nr_bvec() that returns the number of
bvecs in a request. This count represents the number of iterations
rq_for_each_bvec() would perform on a request.
Drivers need to pre-allocate bvec arrays before iterating through
a request's bvecs. Currently, they manually count bvecs using
rq_for_each_bvec() in a loop, which is repetitive. The new helper
centralizes this logic.
This pattern exists in loop and zloop drivers, where multi-bio requests
require copying bvecs into a contiguous array before creating
an iov_iter for file operations.
Update loop and zloop drivers to use the new helper, eliminating
duplicate code.
This patch also provides a clear API to avoid any potential misuse of
blk_nr_phys_segments() for calculating the bvecs since, one bvec can
have more than one segments and use of blk_nr_phys_segments() can
lead to extra memory allocation :-
[ 6155.673749] nullb_bio: 128K bio as ONE bvec: sector=0, size=131072
[ 6155.673846] null_blk: #### null_handle_data_transfer:1375

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Unify how task_work cancelations are detected, placing it in the
task_work running state rather than needing to check the task state
- Series cleaning up and moving the cancelation code to where it
belongs, in cancel.c
- Cleanup of waitid and futex argument handling
- Add support for mixed sized SQEs. 6.18 added support for mixed sized
CQEs, improving flexibility and efficiency of workloads that need big
CQEs. This adds similar support for SQEs, where the occasional need
for a 128b SQE doesn't necessitate having all SQEs be 128b in size

help with allocation size calculation for user provided rings like
IORING_SETUP_NO_MMAP and IORING_MEM_REGION_TYPE_USER

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.
Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add support for 'syn'.
Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
syntax tree of Rust source code.
Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.
'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
will use it in the 'macros' crate too.
'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io),
and it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount
of code is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for
these crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big,
e.g. +7k -3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.
'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided
scripts.
They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.
Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.
- Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for
doctests.
Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public
items and use names such as 'foo'.
Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code
as possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is
important for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust
does not support yet but we are stricter).
'kernel' crate:
- Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.
Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension
trait and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core'
import.
This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.
- Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.
C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&CStr's
(the 'core' one), so now we can write:
c"hi"
instead of:
c_str!("hi")
- Add 'num' module for numerical features.
It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
integer types.
It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
value that requires only the 'N' least significant bits of the
wrapped type to be encoded:
// An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
let v = Bounded::<u8, 4>::new::<15>();
assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);
'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.
Values can also be constructed from simple non-constant expressions
or, for more complex ones, validated at runtime.
'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations
(with both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a
compatible backing type), casts to change the backing type,
extending/shrinking and infallible/fallible conversions from/to
primitives as applicable.
- 'rbtree' module: add immutable cursor ('Cursor').
It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where
appropriate. The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed
to 'CursorMut'.
kallsyms:
- Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.
'pin-init' crate:
- A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
him this cycle).
Documentation:
- Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).
Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.
We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version
in Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the
first one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add entry for the new 'num' module.
- Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to
contribute for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in
practice.
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()
Cleanups:
- Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed
- Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials
- Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago
- coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
credential handling
- coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup()
- coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const
- coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const

Refactor auto buffer register code and prepare for supporting batch IO
feature, and the main motivation is to put 'ublk_io' operation code
together, so that per-io lock can be applied for the code block.
The key changes are:
- Rename ublk_auto_buf_reg() as ublk_do_auto_buf_reg()
- Introduce an enum `auto_buf_reg_res` to represent the result of
the buffer registration attempt (FAIL, FALLBACK, OK).
- Split the existing `ublk_do_auto_buf_reg` function into two:
- `__ublk_do_auto_buf_reg`: Performs the actual buffer registration
and returns the `auto_buf_reg_res` status.
- `ublk_do_auto_buf_reg`: A wrapper that calls the internal function
and handles the I/O preparation based on the result.
- Introduce `ublk_prep_auto_buf_reg_io` to encapsulate the logic for
preparing the I/O for completion after buffer registration.
- Pass the `tag` directly to `ublk_auto_buf_reg_fallback` to avoid
recalculating it.
This refactoring makes the control flow clearer and isolates the different
stages of the auto buffer registration process.

Add `union ublk_io_buf` for naming the anonymous union of struct ublk_io's
addr and buf fields, meantime apply it to `struct ublk_io` for storing either
ublk auto buffer register data or ublk server io buffer address.
The union uses clear field names:
- `addr`: for regular ublk server io buffer addresses
- `auto_reg`: for ublk auto buffer registration data
This eliminates confusing access patterns and improves code readability.

When the page size exceeds 4KB, if bd_wb_limit is set to a value that is
not aligned with the page size, it will cause a numerical wrap-around
issue for bd_wb_limit. For example, when the page size is set to 16KB and
bd_wb_limit is set to 3, after one write-back operation, the value of
bd_wb_limit will become -1. More seriously, since bd_wb_limit is an
unsigned number, its value may become as large as 2^64 - 1.
The core reason for this problem is that the unit of bd_wb_limit is 4KB.
For example, when a write-back occurs on a system with a page size of
16KB, 4 needs to be subtracted from bd_wb_limit. This operation takes
place in the zram_account_writeback_submit function.
This patch fixes the issue by limiting bd_wb_limit to be an integer
multiple of PAGE_SIZE / 4096.

Read slot's block id under slot-lock. We release the slot-lock for bdev
read so, technically, slot still can get freed in the meantime, but at
least we will read bdev block (page) that holds previous know slot data,
not from slot->handle bdev block, which can be anything at that point.

First, writeback bdev ->bitmap bits are set only from one context, as we
can have only one single task performing writeback, so we cannot race with
anything else. Remove retry path.
Second, we always check ZRAM_WB flag to distinguish writtenback slots, so
we should not confuse 0 bdev block index and 0 handle. We can use first
bdev block (0 bit) for writeback as well.
While at it, give functions slightly more accurate names, as we don't
alloc/free anything there, we reserve a block for async writeback or
release the block.

per-device. This essentially enables batched bio writeback.

Patch series "zram: introduce writeback bio batching", v6.
As writeback is becoming more and more common the longstanding limitations
of zram writeback throughput are becoming more visible. Introduce
writeback bio batching so that multiple writeback bios can be processed
simultaneously.
This patch (of 6):
As was stated in a comment [1] a single page writeback IO is not
efficient, but it works. It's time to address this throughput limitation
as writeback becomes used more often. Introduce batched (multiple) bio
writeback support to take advantage of parallel requests processing and
better requests scheduling.
Approach used in this patch doesn't use a dedicated kthread like in [2],
or blk-plug like in [3]. Dedicated kthread adds complexity, which can be
avoided. Apart from that not all zram setups use writeback, so having
numerous per-device kthreads (on systems that create multiple zram
devices) hanging around is not the most optimal thing to do. blk-plug, on
the other hand, works best when request are sequential, which doesn't
particularly fit zram writebck IO patterns: zram writeback IO patterns are
expected to be random, due to how bdev block reservation/release are
handled. blk-plug approach also works in cycles: idle IO, when zram sets
up requests in a batch, is followed by bursts of IO, when zram submits the
entire batch.
Instead we use a batch of requests and submit new bio as soon as one of
the in-flight requests completes.
For the time being the writeback batch size (maximum number of in-flight
bio requests) is set to 32 for all devices. A follow up patch adds a
writeback_batch_size device attribute, so the batch size becomes run-time
configurable.

The zloop driver advertises REQ_NOWAIT support through BLK_FEAT_NOWAIT
(enabled by default for all blk-mq devices), and honors the nowait
behavior throughout zloop_queue_rq().
However, actual I/O to the backing file is performed in a workqueue,
where blocking is allowed.
To avoid imposing unnecessary non-blocking constraints in this blocking
context, clear the REQ_NOWAIT flag before processing the request in the
workqueue context.

While commit cf28f6f923cb ("zloop: fail zone append operations that are
targeting full zones") added a check in zloop_rw() that a zone append is
not issued to a full zone, commit e3a96ca90462 ("zloop: simplify checks
for writes to sequential zones") inadvertently removed the check to
verify that there is enough unwritten space in a zone for an incoming
zone append opration.
Re-add this check in zloop_rw() to make sure we do not write beyond the
end of a zone. Of note is that this same check is already present in the
function zloop_set_zone_append_sector() when ordered zone append is in
use.

Add hint for using IOCB_NOWAIT to handle loop aio command for avoiding
to cause write(especially randwrite) perf regression on sparse backed file.
Try IOCB_NOWAIT in the following situations:
- backing file is block device
OR
- READ aio command
OR
- there isn't any queued blocking async WRITEs, because NOWAIT won't cause
contention with blocking WRITE, which often implies exclusive lock
With this simple policy, perf regression of randwrite/write on sparse
backing file is fixed.

Try to handle loop aio command via NOWAIT IO first, then we can avoid to
queue the aio command into workqueue. This is usually one big win in
case that FS block mapping is stable, Mikulas verified [1] that this way
improves IO perf by close to 5X in 12jobs sequential read/write test,
in which FS block mapping is just stable.
Fallback to workqueue in case of -EAGAIN. This way may bring a little
cost from the 1st retry, but when running the following write test over
loop/sparse_file, the actual effect on randwrite is obvious:
```
truncate -s 4G 1.img #1.img is created on XFS/virtio-scsi
losetup -f 1.img --direct-io=on
fio --direct=1 --bs=4k --runtime=40 --time_based --numjobs=1 --ioengine=libaio \
--iodepth=16 --group_reporting=1 --filename=/dev/loop0 -name=job --rw=$RW
```
- RW=randwrite: obvious IOPS drop observed
- RW=write: a little drop(%5 - 10%)
This perf drop on randwrite over sparse file will be addressed in the
following patch.
BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING has to be set for calling into .read_iter() or .write_iter()
which might sleep even though it is NOWAIT, and the only effect is that rcu read
lock is replaced with srcu read lock.

The zone append operation processing for zloop devices is similar to any
other command, that is, the operation is processed as a command work
item, without any special serialization between the work items (beside
the zone mutex for mutually exclusive code sections).
This processing is fine and gives excellent performance. However, it has
a side effect: zone append operation are very often reordered and
processed in a sequence that is very different from their issuing order
by the user. This effect is very visible using an XFS file system on top
of a zloop device. A simple file write leads to many file extents as the
data writes using zone append are reordered and so result in the
physical order being different than the file logical order.
E.g. executing:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=1M count=10 && sync
$ xfs_bmap /mnt/test
/mnt/test:
0: [0..4095]: 2162688..2166783
1: [4096..6143]: 2168832..2170879
2: [6144..8191]: 2166784..2168831
3: [8192..10239]: 2170880..2172927
4: [10240..12287]: 2174976..2177023
5: [12288..14335]: 2172928..2174975
6: [14336..20479]: 2177024..2183167
For 10 IOs, 6 extents are created.
This is fine and actually allows to exercise XFS zone garbage collection
very well. However, this also makes debugging/working on XFS data
placement harder as the underlying device will most of the time reorder
IOs, resulting in many file extents.
Allow a user to mitigate this with the new ordered_zone_append
configuration parameter. For a zloop device created with this parameter
specified, the sector of a zone append command is set early, when the
command is submitted by the block layer with the zloop_queue_rq()
function, instead of in the zloop_rw() function which is exectued later
in the command work item context. This change ensures that more often
than not, zone append operations data end up being written in the same
order as the command submission by the user.
In the case of XFS, this leads to far less file data extents. E.g., for
the previous example, we get a single file data extent for the written
file.
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=1M count=10 && sync
$ xfs_bmap /mnt/test
/mnt/test:
0: [0..20479]: 2162688..2183167
Since we cannot use a mutex in the context of the zloop_queue_rq()
function to atomically set a zone append operation sector to the target
zone write pointer location and increment that the write pointer, a new
per-zone spinlock is introduced to protect a zone write pointer access
and modifications. To check a zone write pointer location and set a zone
append operation target sector to that value, the function
zloop_set_zone_append_sector() is introduced and called from
zloop_queue_rq().

A zloop zoned block device declares to the block layer that it supports
zone append operations. That is, a zloop device ressembles an NVMe ZNS
devices supporting zone append.
This native support is fine but it does not allow exercising the block
layer zone write plugging emulation of zone append, as is done with SCSI
or ATA SMR HDDs.
Introduce the zone_append configuration parameter to allow creating a
zloop device without native support for zone append, thus relying on the
block layer zone append emulation. If not specified, zone append support
is enabled by default. Otherwise, a value of 0 disables native zone
append and a value of 1 enables it.

The function zloop_rw() already checks early that a request is fully
contained within the target zone. So this check does not need to be done
again for regular writes to sequential zones. Furthermore, since zone
append operations are always directed to the zone write pointer
location, we do not need to check for their alignment to that value
after setting it. So turn the "if" checking the write pointer alignment
into an "else if".
While at it, improve the comment describing the write pointer
modification and how this value is corrected in case of error.

zloop_rw() will fail any regular write operation that targets a full
sequential zone. The check for this is indirect and achieved by checking
the write pointer alignment of the write operation. But this check is
ineffective for zone append operations since these are alwasy
automatically directed at a zone write pointer.
Prevent zone append operations from being executed in a full zone with
an explicit check of the zone condition.

For years I wondered why the floppy driver does not just work on
sparc64, e.g:
root@SUNW_375_0066:# disktype /dev/fd0
disktype: Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address
[ 525.341906] disktype: attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, sector=0, nr_sectors = 16 limit=8
[ 525.341991] floppy: error 10 while reading block 0
Turns out floppy.c __floppy_read_block_0 tries to read one page for
the first test read to determine the disk size and thus fails if that
is greater than 4k. Adjust minimum MAX_DISK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE to fix
floppy on sparc64 and likely all other PAGE_SIZE != 4KB configs.
