But it is called from vm_mmap_pgoff(), which has a page offset. Previously the conversion was done incorrectly so let's fix it, being careful not to overflow on 32-bit platforms.

Specifically, a VMA which has a valid pointer to vma->vm_userfaultfd_ctx, but no UFFD flags in vma->vm_flags. The inconsistency is caused in ksm_madvise(): when user calls madvise() with MADV_UNMEARGEABLE on a VMA that is registered for UFFD in MINOR mode, it accidentally clears all flags stored in the upper 32 bits of vma->vm_flags. Assuming x86_64 kernel build, unsigned long is 64-bit and unsigned int and int are 32-bit wide. This setup causes the following mishap during the &= ~VM_MERGEABLE assignment. VM_MERGEABLE is a 32-bit constant of type unsigned int, 0x8000'0000. After ~ is applied, it becomes 0x7fff'ffff unsigned int, which is then promoted to unsigned long before the & operation. This promotion fills upper 32 bits with leading 0s, as we're doing unsigned conversion (and even for a signed conversion, this wouldn't help as the leading bit is 0). & operation thus ends up AND-ing vm_flags with 0x0000'0000'7fff'ffff instead of intended 0xffff'ffff'7fff'ffff and hence accidentally clears the upper 32-bits of its value. Fix it by changing `VM_MERGEABLE` constant to unsigned long, using the BIT() macro. Note: other VM_* flags are not affected: This only happens to the VM_MERGEABLE flag, as the other VM_* flags are all constants of type int and after ~ operation, they end up with leading 1 and are thus converted to unsigned long with leading 1s.

Its filename was mm-damon-vaddr-do-not-repeat-pte_offset_map_lock-until-success.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: SeongJae Park <sj(a)kernel.org> Subject: mm/damon/vaddr: do not repeat pte_offset_map_lock() until success Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:44:09 -0700 DAMON's virtual address space operation set implementation (vaddr) calls pte_offset_map_lock() inside the page table walk callback function. This is for reading and writing page table accessed bits. If pte_offset_map_lock() fails, it retries by returning the page table walk callback function with ACTION_AGAIN. pte_offset_map_lock() can continuously fail if the target is a pmd migration entry, though. Hence it could cause an infinite page table walk if the migration cannot be done until the page table walk is finished. This indeed caused a soft lockup when CPU hotplugging and DAMON were running in parallel. Avoid the infinite loop by simply not retrying the page table walk. DAMON is promising only a best-effort accuracy, so missing access to such pages is no problem.

For userspace tools like CRIU, which rely on the soft-dirty mechanism for incremental snapshots, losing the soft-dirty bit means modified pages are missed, leading to inconsistent memory state after restore. As pointed out by David, the more critical uffd-wp bit is also dropped. This breaks the userfaultfd write-protection mechanism, causing writes to be silently missed by monitoring applications, which can lead to data corruption. Preserve both the soft-dirty and uffd-wp bits from the old PTE when creating the new zeropage mapping to ensure they are correctly tracked.

[merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-thp-fix-mte-tag-mismatch-when-replacing-zero-filled-subpages.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/thp: fix MTE tag mismatch when replacing zero-filled subpages has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-thp-fix-mte-tag-mismatch-when-replacing-zero-filled-subpages.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: Lance Yang <lance.yang(a)linux.dev> Subject: mm/thp: fix MTE tag mismatch when replacing zero-filled subpages Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 10:14:58 +0800 From: Lance Yang <lance.yang(a)linux.dev> When both THP and MTE are enabled, splitting a THP and replacing its zero-filled subpages with the shared zeropage can cause MTE tag mismatch faults in userspace. Remapping zero-filled subpages to the shared zeropage is unsafe, as the zeropage has a fixed tag of zero, which may not match the tag expected by the userspace pointer. KSM already avoids this problem by using memcmp_pages(), which on arm64 intentionally reports MTE-tagged pages as non-identical to prevent unsafe merging. As suggested by David[1], this patch adopts the same pattern, replacing the memchr_inv() byte-level check with a call to pages_identical(). This leverages existing architecture-specific logic to determine if a page is truly identical to the shared zeropage. Having both the THP shrinker and KSM rely on pages_identical() makes the design more future-proof, IMO. Instead of handling quirks in generic code, we just let the architecture decide what makes two pages identical.

The possible function call tree under cgroup_file_notify() can acquire many different spin locks in spinning mode. Some of them are cgroup_file_kn_lock, kernfs_notify_lock, pool_workqeue's lock. So, let's just skip cgroup_file_notify() from memcg charging if the context does not allow spinning. Alternative approach was also explored where instead of skipping cgroup_file_notify(), we defer the memcg event processing to irq_work [1]. However it adds complexity and it was decided to keep things simple until we need more memcg events with !allow_spinning requirement.

[PATCH v2 00/19 5.15.y] Backport minmax.h updates from v6.17-rc7

by Eliav Farber

This series backports 19 patches to update minmax.h in the 5.15.y branch, aligning it with v6.17-rc7. The ultimate goal is to synchronize all longterm branches so that they include the full set of minmax.h changes (6.12.y and 6.6.y were already backported by me and are now aligned, 6.1.y is in progress). The key motivation is to bring in commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness"), which is missing in kernel 5.10.y. In mainline, this change enables min()/max()/clamp() to accept mixed argument types, provided both have the same signedness. Without it, backported patches that use these forms may trigger compiler warnings, which escalate to build failures when -Werror is enabled. Changes in v2: - Fix the order of patches 6 - 10 according to order in mainline branch. - Use same style of [ Upstream commit <HASH> ] in all patches. Andy Shevchenko (1): minmax: deduplicate __unconst_integer_typeof() David Laight (8): minmax: fix indentation of __cmp_once() and __clamp_once() minmax.h: add whitespace around operators and after commas minmax.h: update some comments minmax.h: reduce the #define expansion of min(), max() and clamp() minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp() minmax.h: move all the clamp() definitions after the min/max() ones minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp() minmax.h: remove some #defines that are only expanded once Herve Codina (1): minmax: Introduce {min,max}_array() Linus Torvalds (8): minmax: avoid overly complicated constant expressions in VM code minmax: add a few more MIN_T/MAX_T users minmax: simplify and clarify min_t()/max_t() implementation minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere minmax: don't use max() in situations that want a C constant expression minmax: simplify min()/max()/clamp() implementation minmax: improve macro expansion and type checking minmax: fix up min3() and max3() too Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (1): minmax: add in_range() macro arch/arm/mm/pageattr.c | 6 +- arch/um/drivers/mconsole_user.c | 2 + arch/x86/mm/pgtable.c | 2 +- drivers/edac/sb_edac.c | 4 +- drivers/edac/skx_common.h | 1 - drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.h | 2 + .../drm/amd/display/modules/hdcp/hdcp_ddc.c | 2 + .../drm/amd/pm/powerplay/hwmgr/ppevvmath.h | 14 +- .../amd/pm/swsmu/smu11/sienna_cichlid_ppt.c | 2 + .../drm/arm/display/include/malidp_utils.h | 2 +- .../display/komeda/komeda_pipeline_state.c | 24 +- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_color_mgmt.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/msm/adreno/a6xx_gmu.c | 6 - drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/evergreen_cs.c | 2 + drivers/hwmon/adt7475.c | 24 +- drivers/input/touchscreen/cyttsp4_core.c | 2 +- drivers/irqchip/irq-sun6i-r.c | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-integrity.c | 4 +- drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367_priv.h | 3 + .../net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c | 18 +- .../net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c | 2 +- drivers/net/fjes/fjes_main.c | 4 +- drivers/nfc/pn544/i2c.c | 2 - drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c | 1 - drivers/scsi/isci/init.c | 6 +- .../pci/hive_isp_css_include/math_support.h | 5 - drivers/virt/acrn/ioreq.c | 4 +- fs/btrfs/misc.h | 2 - fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c | 2 +- fs/ext2/balloc.c | 2 - fs/ext4/ext4.h | 2 - fs/ufs/util.h | 6 - include/linux/compiler.h | 9 + include/linux/minmax.h | 264 +++++++++++++----- kernel/trace/preemptirq_delay_test.c | 2 - lib/btree.c | 1 - lib/decompress_unlzma.c | 2 + lib/logic_pio.c | 3 - lib/vsprintf.c | 2 +- lib/zstd/zstd_internal.h | 2 - mm/zsmalloc.c | 1 - net/ipv4/proc.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/proc.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/nf_nat_core.c | 6 +- net/tipc/core.h | 2 +- net/tipc/link.c | 10 +- tools/testing/selftests/vm/mremap_test.c | 2 + 47 files changed, 289 insertions(+), 183 deletions(-) -- 2.47.3

[PATCH 6.12.y 6.6.y 6.1.y 5.15.y 5.10.y 5.4.y] ALSA: usb-audio: fix race condition to UAF in snd_usbmidi_free

by Jeongjun Park

From: Jeongjun Park <aha310510(a)gmail.com> [ Upstream commit 9f2c0ac1423d5f267e7f1d1940780fc764b0fee3 ] The previous commit 0718a78f6a9f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Kill timer properly at removal") patched a UAF issue caused by the error timer. However, because the error timer kill added in this patch occurs after the endpoint delete, a race condition to UAF still occurs, albeit rarely. Additionally, since kill-cleanup for urb is also missing, freed memory can be accessed in interrupt context related to urb, which can cause UAF. Therefore, to prevent this, error timer and urb must be killed before freeing the heap memory.

[PATCH net] xsk: Fix overflow in descriptor validation@@

by Ilia Gavrilov

The desc->len value can be set up to U32_MAX. If umem tx_metadata_len option is also set, then the value of the expression 'desc->len + pool->tx_metadata_len' can overflow and validation of the incorrect descriptor will be successfully passed. This can lead to a subsequent chain of arithmetic overflows in the xsk_build_skb() function and incorrect sk_buff allocation. Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

LR compute WA

by Mario Limonciello (AMD) (kernel.org)

Hi, We have some reports of long compute jobs on APUs hanging the system. This has been root caused and a workaround has been introduced in the mainline kernel. I didn't CC stable on the original W/A because I wanted to make sure we've had enough time to test it didn't have unintended side effects. I feel comfortable with the testing at this point and I think it's worth bringing back to any stable kernels it will apply to 6.12.y and newer. The commit is: 1fb710793ce2619223adffaf981b1ff13cd48f17 Thanks,
