[PATCH v2 0/2] fscontext: do not consume log entries when returning -EMSGSIZE

by Aleksa Sarai

Userspace generally expects APIs that return -EMSGSIZE to allow for them to adjust their buffer size and retry the operation. However, the fscontext log would previously clear the message even in the -EMSGSIZE case. Given that it is very cheap for us to check whether the buffer is too small before we remove the message from the ring buffer, let's just do that instead. While we're at it, refactor some fscontext_read() into a separate helper to make the ring buffer logic a bit easier to read.

[PATCH v2] ALSA: intel_hdmi: Fix off-by-one error in __hdmi_lpe_audio_probe()

by Thorsten Blum

In __hdmi_lpe_audio_probe(), strscpy() is incorrectly called with the length of the source string (excluding the NUL terminator) rather than the size of the destination buffer. This results in one character less being copied from 'card->shortname' to 'pcm->name'. Use the destination buffer size instead to ensure the card name is copied correctly.

[PATCH v2] fs: always return zero on success from replace_fd()

by Thomas Weißschuh

replace_fd() returns the number of the new file descriptor through the return value of do_dup2(). However its callers never care about the specific number. In fact the caller in receive_fd_replace() treats any non-zero return value as an error and therefore never calls __receive_sock() for most file descriptors, which is a bug. To fix the bug in receive_fd_replace() and to avoid the same issue happening in future callers, signal success through a plain zero.

Its filename was mm-kmemleak-avoid-soft-lockup-in-__kmemleak_do_cleanup.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Waiman Long <longman(a)redhat.com> Subject: mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup in __kmemleak_do_cleanup() Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 15:02:48 -0400 A soft lockup warning was observed on a relative small system x86-64 system with 16 GB of memory when running a debug kernel with kmemleak enabled. watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#8 stuck for 33s! [kworker/8:1:134] The test system was running a workload with hot unplug happening in parallel. Then kemleak decided to disable itself due to its inability to allocate more kmemleak objects. The debug kernel has its CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE set to 40,000. The soft lockup happened in kmemleak_do_cleanup() when the existing kmemleak objects were being removed and deleted one-by-one in a loop via a workqueue. In this particular case, there are at least 40,000 objects that need to be processed and given the slowness of a debug kernel and the fact that a raw_spinlock has to be acquired and released in __delete_object(), it could take a while to properly handle all these objects. As kmemleak has been disabled in this case, the object removal and deletion process can be further optimized as locking isn't really needed. However, it is probably not worth the effort to optimize for such an edge case that should rarely happen. So the simple solution is to call cond_resched() at periodic interval in the iteration loop to avoid soft lockup.

This occurs because pr_warn_once() may trigger netpoll, which eventually leads to __alloc_skb() and back into kmemleak code, attempting to reacquire kmemleak_lock. This is the path for the deadlock. mem_pool_alloc() -> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags); -> pr_warn_once() -> netconsole subsystem -> netpoll -> __alloc_skb -> __create_object -> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags); Fix this by setting a flag and issuing the pr_warn_once() after kmemleak_lock is released.
