This patch series refactors all futex selftests to use
kselftest_harness.h instead of futex's logging.h, as discussed here [1].
This allows to remove a lot of boilerplate code and to simplify some
parts of the test logic, mainly when the test needs to exit early. The
result of this is more than 500 lines removed from
tools/testing/selftests/futex/. Also, this enables new tests to use
kselftest.h features like ASSERT_s and such.
There are some caveats around this refactor:
- logging.h had verbosity levels, while kselftest_harness.h doesn't. I
created a new print function called ksft_print_dbg_msg() that prints
the message if the user uses the -d flag, so now there's an
equivalent of this feature.
- futex_requeue_pi test accepted command line arguments to be used as
test parameters (e.g. ./futex_requeue_pi -b -l -t 500000). This
doesn't work with kselftest_harness.h because there's no
straightforward way to send command line arguments to the test.
I used FIXTURE_VARIANT() to achieve the same result, but now the
parameters live inside of the test file, instead of on
functional/run.sh. This increased a little bit the number of test
cases for futex_requeue_pi, from 22 to 24.
- test_harness_run() calls mmap(MAP_SHARED) before running the test and
this has caused a side effect on test futex_numa_mpol.c. This test
also calls mmap() and then try to access an address out of
boundaries of this mapped memory for a "Memory out of range" subtest,
where the kernel should return -EACCESS. After the refactor, the test
address might be fall inside the first memory mapped region, thus
being a valid address and succeeding the syscall, making the test
fail. To fix that, I created a small "buffer zone" with
mmap(PROT_NONE) between both mmaps.
I have compared the results of run.sh before and after this patchset and
didn't find any regression from the test results.
Thanks,
André

André Almeida <andrealmeid(a)igalia.com>
Reading /proc/pid/maps requires read-locking mmap_lock which prevents any
other task from concurrently modifying the address space. This guarantees
coherent reporting of virtual address ranges, however it can block
important updates from happening. Oftentimes /proc/pid/maps readers are
low priority monitoring tasks and them blocking high priority tasks
results in priority inversion.
Locking the entire address space is required to present fully coherent
picture of the address space, however even current implementation does not
strictly guarantee that by outputting vmas in page-size chunks and
dropping mmap_lock in between each chunk. Address space modifications are
possible while mmap_lock is dropped and userspace reading the content is
expected to deal with possible concurrent address space modifications.
Considering these relaxed rules, holding mmap_lock is not strictly needed
as long as we can guarantee that a concurrently modified vma is reported
either in its original form or after it was modified.
This patchset switches from holding mmap_lock while reading /proc/pid/maps
to taking per-vma locks as we walk the vma tree. This reduces the
contention with tasks modifying the address space because they would have
to contend for the same vma as opposed to the entire address space.
Previous version of this patchset [1] tried to perform /proc/pid/maps
reading under RCU, however its implementation is quite complex and the
results are worse than the new version because it still relied on
mmap_lock speculation which retries if any part of the address space gets
modified. New implementaion is both simpler and results in less
contention. Note that similar approach would not work for /proc/pid/smaps
reading as it also walks the page table and that's not RCU-safe.
Paul McKenney's designed a test [2] to measure mmap/munmap latencies while
concurrently reading /proc/pid/maps. The test has a pair of processes
scanning /proc/PID/maps, and another process unmapping and remapping 4K
pages from a 128MB range of anonymous memory. At the end of each 10
second run, the latency of each mmap() or munmap() operation is measured,
and for each run the maximum and mean latency is printed. The map/unmap
process is started first, its PID is passed to the scanners, and then the
map/unmap process waits until both scanners are running before starting
its timed test. The scanners keep scanning until the specified
/proc/PID/maps file disappears.
The latest results from Paul:
Stock mm-unstable, all of the runs had maximum latencies in excess of
0.5 milliseconds, and with 80% of the runs' latencies exceeding a full
millisecond, and ranging up beyond 4 full milliseconds. In contrast,
99% of the runs with this patch series applied had maximum latencies
of less than 0.5 milliseconds, with the single outlier at only 0.608
milliseconds.
From a median-performance (as opposed to maximum-latency) viewpoint,
this patch series also looks good, with stock mm weighing in at 11
microseconds and patch series at 6 microseconds, better than a 2x
improvement.

The patchset also adds a number of tests to check for /proc/pid/maps data
coherency. They are designed to detect any unexpected data tearing while
performing some common address space modifications (vma split, resize and
remap). Even before these changes, reading /proc/pid/maps might have
inconsistent data because the file is read page-by-page with mmap_lock
being dropped between the pages. An example of user-visible inconsistency
can be that the same vma is printed twice: once before it was modified and
then after the modifications. For example if vma was extended, it might be
found and reported twice. What is not expected is to see a gap where there
should have been a vma both before and after modification. This patchset
increases the chances of such tearing, therefore it's even more important
now to test for unexpected inconsistencies.
In [3] Lorenzo identified the following possible vma merging/splitting
scenarios:
Merges with changes to existing vmas:
1 Merge both - mapping a vma over another one and between two vmas which
can be merged after this replacement;
2. Merge left full - mapping a vma at the end of an existing one and
completely over its right neighbor;
3. Merge left partial - mapping a vma at the end of an existing one and
partially over its right neighbor;
4. Merge right full - mapping a vma before the start of an existing one
and completely over its left neighbor;
5. Merge right partial - mapping a vma before the start of an existing one
and partially over its left neighbor;
Merges without changes to existing vmas:
6. Merge both - mapping a vma into a gap between two vmas which can be
merged after the insertion;
7. Merge left - mapping a vma at the end of an existing one;
8. Merge right - mapping a vma before the start end of an existing one;
Splits
9. Split with new vma at the lower address;
10. Split with new vma at the higher address;
If such merges or splits happen concurrently with the /proc/maps reading
we might report a vma twice, once before the modification and once after
it is modified:
Case 1 might report overwritten and previous vma along with the final
merged vma;
Case 2 might report previous and the final merged vma;
Case 3 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by
shrinking of the right neighbor;
Case 4 might report overritten and the final merged vma;
Case 5 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by
shrinking of the left neighbor;
Case 6 might report previous vma and the gap along with the final marged
vma;
Case 7 might report previous and the final merged vma;
Case 8 might report the original gap and the final merged vma covering the
gap;
Case 9 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by
shrinking of the original vma at the vma start;
Case 10 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by
shrinking of the original vma at the vma end;
In all these cases the retry mechanism prevents us from reporting possible
temporary gaps.

"auto" was defined as a keyword back in the K&R days, but as a storage
type specifier. No one ever used it, since it was and is the default
storage type for local variables.
C++11 recycled the keyword to allow a type to be declared based on the
type of an initializer. This was finally adopted into standard C in
C23.
gcc and clang provide the "__auto_type" alias keyword as an extension
for pre-C23, however, there is no reason to pollute the bulk of the
source base with this temporary keyword; instead define "auto" as a
macro unless the compiler is running in C23+ mode.
This macro is added in <linux/compiler_types.h> because that header is
included in some of the tools headers, wheres <linux/compiler.h> is
not as it has a bunch of very kernel-specific things in it.

Hi all,
I was starting to work on the memfd-exec[1] feature and observed that
Landlock's scoped-IPC features (abstract UNIX sockets and signals)
follow a consistent high-level model, which I'm calling a
resource-accessor pattern:
Resource Process <-> Accessor Process
- Resource process: owns or manages the asset
- socket creator (bind/accept)
- signal handler
- memfd creator
- Accessor process: attempts to use the asset
- socket client (connect/sendto)
- signal sender
- memfd executor
RESOURCE-ACCESSOR PATTERN FUNDAMENTALS
======================================
This pattern appears fundamental to Landlock scoping because:
1. Consistent enforcement model: Landlock restrictions are enforced
only on the accessor side; the resource side remains unconstrained
across all scope types.
2. Reflects actual security boundaries: In practice, sandboxed
processes typically need to access resources created by other
processes, not the reverse.
3. Scalable design: This model works consistently whether processes
are in parent-child relationships or independent peer domains.
4. Real-world usage patterns: Container runtimes and sandbox
orchestrators routinely start multiple workers that restrict
themselves independently.
CURRENT TEST COVERAGE GAP
=========================
Existing self-tests cover hierarchical resource <-> accessor pairs
but do not exercise the case where each task enters an independent
domain. While 'sibling_domain' tests exist, they still use
parent-child relationship patterns rather than true peer domains.
Current Coverage (Linear Hierarchies Only):
-------------------------------------------
Type 1: Parent-Child (scoped_domains)
P1 ---- P2
Type 2: Three Generations (scoped_vs_unscoped)
P1 ---- P2 ---- P3
Variations tested for both types:
- No domains
- Various scoped domain combinations
- Nested domains within inherited domains
- Mixed domain types (SCOPE vs OTHER vs NONE)
Missing Coverage (True Sibling Scenarios):
------------------------------------------
Root
|
+-- Child A [various domain types]
|
+-- Child B [various domain types]
Missing test scenarios:
- A <-> B cross-sibling communication
- Mixed sibling domain combinations
- Sibling isolation enforcement
- Parent -> A, Parent -> B differential access
SOLUTION
========
This series implements the missing sibling pattern using the
resource-accessor model. The tests create a fork tree that looks
like this:
coordinator (no domain)
|
+-- resource_proc (Domain X) /* owns the resource */
|
+-- accessor_proc (Domain Y) /* tries to access */
This directly addresses the missing coverage by creating two
independent child processes that establish peer domains, rather than
the hierarchical parent-child domains covered by existing tests.
Both children call landlock_restrict_self() for the first time, so
their struct landlock_domain->parent pointers are NULL, creating
true peer domains. The harness exposes four test variants:
Variant name | Resource domain | Accessor domain | Result
-------------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------
none_to_none | none | none | ALLOW
none_to_scoped | none | scoped | DENY
scoped_to_none | scoped | none | ALLOW
scoped_to_scoped | scoped | scoped (peer) | DENY
The scoped_to_scoped case was missing from current coverage.
TESTING
=======
All patches apply cleanly to v6.14-rc2 and pass on landlock/master.
The helpers are small and re-use the existing kselftest_harness.h
fixture/variant pattern. All patches have been validated with
scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict and show no warnings.
This series introduces **no kernel changes**, only selftests additions.
Feedback very welcome.
Thanks,
Abhinav

2.34.1
From: Chia-Yu Chang <chia-yu.chang(a)nokia-bell-labs.com>
Hello,
Please find the DualPI2 patch v24.
This patch serise adds DualPI Improved with a Square (DualPI2) with following features:
* Supports congestion controls that comply with the Prague requirements in RFC9331 (e.g. TCP-Prague)
* Coupled dual-queue that separates the L4S traffic in a low latency queue (L-queue), without harming remaining traffic that is scheduled in classic queue (C-queue) due to congestion-coupling using PI2 as defined in RFC9332
* Configurable overload strategies
* Use of sojourn time to reliably estimate queue delay
* Supports ECN L4S-identifier (IP.ECN==0b*1) to classify traffic into respective queues
For more details of DualPI2, please refer IETF RFC9332 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9332).
Best regards,
Chia-Yu

- Fix mem_usage error in previous version
- Add min_qlen_step to the dualpi2 attribute as the minimum queue length in number of packets in the L-queue to start step threshold marking.
In previous versions, this value was fixed to 2, so the step threshold was applied to mark packets in the L queue only when the queue length of the L queue was greater than or equal to 2 packets.
This will cause larger queuing delays for L4S traffic at low rates (<20Mbps). So we parameterize it and change the default value to 0.
