Possible dependencies: thanks, greg k-h ------------------ original commit in Linus's tree ------------------ From 64cf7d058a005c5c31eb8a0b741f35dc12915d18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt(a)goodmis.org> Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 12:45:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Have trace_marker use per-cpu data to read user space It was reported that using __copy_from_user_inatomic() can actually schedule. Which is bad when preemption is disabled. Even though there's logic to check in_atomic() is set, but this is a nop when the kernel is configured with PREEMPT_NONE. This is due to page faulting and the code could schedule with preemption disabled. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250819105152.2766363-1-luogengkun@huaweicloud… The solution was to change the __copy_from_user_inatomic() to copy_from_user_nofault(). But then it was reported that this caused a regression in Android. There's several applications writing into trace_marker() in Android, but now instead of showing the expected data, it is showing: tracing_mark_write: <faulted> After reverting the conversion to copy_from_user_nofault(), Android was able to get the data again. Writes to the trace_marker is a way to efficiently and quickly enter data into the Linux tracing buffer. It takes no locks and was designed to be as non-intrusive as possible. This means it cannot allocate memory, and must use pre-allocated data. A method that is actively being worked on to have faultable system call tracepoints read user space data is to allocate per CPU buffers, and use them in the callback. The method uses a technique similar to seqcount. That is something like this: preempt_disable(); cpu = smp_processor_id(); buffer = this_cpu_ptr(&pre_allocated_cpu_buffers, cpu); do { cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu); migrate_disable(); preempt_enable(); ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size); preempt_disable(); migrate_enable(); } while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu)); if (!ret) ring_buffer_write(buffer); preempt_enable(); It's a little more involved than that, but the above is the basic logic. The idea is to acquire the current CPU buffer, disable migration, and then enable preemption. At this moment, it can safely use copy_from_user(). After reading the data from user space, it disables preemption again. It then checks to see if there was any new scheduling on this CPU. If there was, it must assume that the buffer was corrupted by another task. If there wasn't, then the buffer is still valid as only tasks in preemptable context can write to this buffer and only those that are running on the CPU. By using this method, where trace_marker open allocates the per CPU buffers, trace_marker writes can access user space and even fault it in, without having to allocate or take any locks of its own.

Possible dependencies: thanks, greg k-h ------------------ original commit in Linus's tree ------------------ From 64cf7d058a005c5c31eb8a0b741f35dc12915d18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt(a)goodmis.org> Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 12:45:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Have trace_marker use per-cpu data to read user space It was reported that using __copy_from_user_inatomic() can actually schedule. Which is bad when preemption is disabled. Even though there's logic to check in_atomic() is set, but this is a nop when the kernel is configured with PREEMPT_NONE. This is due to page faulting and the code could schedule with preemption disabled. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250819105152.2766363-1-luogengkun@huaweicloud… The solution was to change the __copy_from_user_inatomic() to copy_from_user_nofault(). But then it was reported that this caused a regression in Android. There's several applications writing into trace_marker() in Android, but now instead of showing the expected data, it is showing: tracing_mark_write: <faulted> After reverting the conversion to copy_from_user_nofault(), Android was able to get the data again. Writes to the trace_marker is a way to efficiently and quickly enter data into the Linux tracing buffer. It takes no locks and was designed to be as non-intrusive as possible. This means it cannot allocate memory, and must use pre-allocated data. A method that is actively being worked on to have faultable system call tracepoints read user space data is to allocate per CPU buffers, and use them in the callback. The method uses a technique similar to seqcount. That is something like this: preempt_disable(); cpu = smp_processor_id(); buffer = this_cpu_ptr(&pre_allocated_cpu_buffers, cpu); do { cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu); migrate_disable(); preempt_enable(); ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size); preempt_disable(); migrate_enable(); } while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu)); if (!ret) ring_buffer_write(buffer); preempt_enable(); It's a little more involved than that, but the above is the basic logic. The idea is to acquire the current CPU buffer, disable migration, and then enable preemption. At this moment, it can safely use copy_from_user(). After reading the data from user space, it disables preemption again. It then checks to see if there was any new scheduling on this CPU. If there was, it must assume that the buffer was corrupted by another task. If there wasn't, then the buffer is still valid as only tasks in preemptable context can write to this buffer and only those that are running on the CPU. By using this method, where trace_marker open allocates the per CPU buffers, trace_marker writes can access user space and even fault it in, without having to allocate or take any locks of its own.

This bug arises due to very limited and poor input validation that was done at nic_valid_size(). This validation only validates the skb->len (directly reflects size provided at the userspace interface) with the length provided in the buffer itself (interpreted as NCI_HEADER). This leads to the processing of memory content at the address assuming the correct layout per what opcode requires there. This leads to the accesses to buffer of `skb_buff->data` which is not assigned anything yet. Following the same silent drop of packets of invalid sizes at `nic_valid_size()`, add validation of the data in the respective handlers and return error values in case of failure.

This bug arises due to very limited and poor input validation that was done at nic_valid_size(). This validation only validates the skb->len (directly reflects size provided at the userspace interface) with the length provided in the buffer itself (interpreted as NCI_HEADER). This leads to the processing of memory content at the address assuming the correct layout per what opcode requires there. This leads to the accesses to buffer of `skb_buff->data` which is not assigned anything yet. Following the same silent drop of packets of invalid sizes at `nic_valid_size()`, add validation of the data in the respective handlers and return error values in case of failure. Release the skb if error values are returned from handlers in `nci_nft_packet` and effectively do a silent drop Possible TODO: because we silently drop the packets, the call to `nci_request` will be waiting for completion of request and will face timeouts. These timeouts can get excessively logged in the dmesg. A proper handling of them may require to export `nci_request_cancel` (or propagate error handling from the nft packets handlers).

[PATCH] platform/x86: alienware-wmi-wmax: Fix null pointer derefence in sleep handlers

by Kurt Borja

[PATCH] pidfs: fix ERR_PTR dereference in pidfd_info()

by Zhen Ni

pidfd_pid() may return an ERR_PTR() when the file does not refer to a valid pidfs file. Currently pidfd_info() calls pid_in_current_pidns() directly on the returned value, which risks dereferencing an ERR_PTR. Fix it by explicitly checking IS_ERR(pid) and returning PTR_ERR(pid) before further use.

Re: Patch "hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list" has been added to the 6.16-stable tree

by Deepanshu Kartikey

Hi Sasha, Please do NOT backport commit dd83609b8898 alone to stable. This patch causes a regression in fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE) operations where pages are not freed immediately, as reported by Mark Brown. The fix for this regression is already in linux-next as commit 91a830422707 ("hugetlbfs: check for shareable lock before calling huge_pmd_unshare()"). Please backport both commits together to avoid introducing the regression in stable kernels: - dd83609b88986f4add37c0871c3434310652ebd5 ("hugetlbfs: skip VMAs without shareable locks in hugetlb_vmdelete_list") - 91a830422707a62629fc4fbf8cdc3c8acf56ca64 ("hugetlbfs: check for shareable lock before calling huge_pmd_unshare()") Thanks, Deepanshu Kartikey

[PATCH] net: usb: lan78xx: Fix lost EEPROM write timeout error(-ETIMEDOUT) in lan78xx_write_raw_eeprom

by Bhanu Seshu Kumar Valluri

The function lan78xx_write_raw_eeprom failed to properly propagate EEPROM write timeout errors (-ETIMEDOUT). In the timeout fallthrough path, it first attempted to restore the pin configuration for LED outputs and then returned only the status of that restore operation, discarding the original timeout error saved in ret. As a result, callers could mistakenly treat EEPROM write operation as successful even though the EEPROM write had actually timed out with no or partial data write. To fix this, handle errors in restoring the LED pin configuration separately. If the restore succeeds, return any prior EEPROM write timeout error saved in ret to the caller.
