Subject: [PATCH] i40e: improve VF MAC filters accounting
When adding new VM MAC, driver checks only *active* filters in
vsi->mac_filter_hash. Each MAC, even in non-active state is using resources.
To determine number of MACs VM uses, count VSI filters in *any* state.
Add i40e_count_all_filters() to simply count all filters, and rename
i40e_count_filters() to i40e_count_active_filters() to avoid ambiguity.
Fixes: cfb1d572c986 ("i40e: Add ensurance of MacVlan resources for every trusted VF")

Hi,
This series drops the QPIC interconnect and BCM nodes for the SDX75 SoC. The
reason is that this QPIC BCM resource is already defined as a RPMh clock in
clk-rpmh driver as like other SDX SoCs. So it is wrong to describe the same
resource in two different providers.
Also, without this series, the NAND driver fails to probe on SDX75 as the
interconnect sync state disables the QPIC nodes as there were no clients voting
for this ICC resource. However, the NAND driver had already voted for this BCM
resource through the clk-rpmh driver. Since both votes come from Linux, RPMh was
unable to distinguish between these two and ends up disabling the resource
during sync state.

Struct ff_effect_compat is embedded twice inside
uinput_ff_upload_compat, contains internal padding. In particular, there
is a hole after struct ff_replay to satisfy alignment requirements for
the following union member. Without clearing the structure,
copy_to_user() may leak stack data to userspace.
Initialize ff_up_compat to zero before filling valid fields.

Hi Zhang, hi Jiri,
In Debian Staffan Melin reported that after an update containing the
commit 1a8953f4f774 ("HID: Add IGNORE quirk for SMARTLINKTECHNOLOGY"),
the input device with same idVendor and idProduct, the Jieli
Technology USB Composite Device, does not get recognized anymore.
The full Debian report is at: https://bugs.debian.org/1114557
The issue is not specific to the 6.12.y series and confirmed in 6.16.3
as well.
Staffan Melin did bisect the kernels between 6.12.38 (which was still
working) and 6.1.41 (which was not), confirming by bisection that the
offending commit is
1a8953f4f774 ("HID: Add IGNORE quirk for SMARTLINKTECHNOLOGY")
#regzbot introduced: 1a8953f4f774
#regzbot monitor: https://bugs.debian.org/1114557
So it looks that the quirk applied is unfortunately affecting
negatively as well Staffan Melin case.
Can you have a look?

Subject: mm: swap: check for stable address space before operating on the VMA
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 23:41:38 +0530
It is possible to hit a zero entry while traversing the vmas in unuse_mm()
called from swapoff path and accessing it causes the OOPS:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
0000000000000446--> Loading the memory from offset 0x40 on the
XA_ZERO_ENTRY as address.
Mem abort info:
ESR = 0x0000000096000005
EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
SET = 0, FnV = 0
EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
FSC = 0x05: level 1 translation fault
The issue is manifested from the below race between the fork() on a
process and swapoff:
fork(dup_mmap()) swapoff(unuse_mm)
--------------- -----------------
1) Identical mtree is built using
__mt_dup().
2) copy_pte_range()-->
copy_nonpresent_pte():
The dst mm is added into the
mmlist to be visible to the
swapoff operation.
3) Fatal signal is sent to the parent
process(which is the current during the
fork) thus skip the duplication of the
vmas and mark the vma range with
XA_ZERO_ENTRY as a marker for this process
that helps during exit_mmap().
4) swapoff is tried on the
'mm' added to the 'mmlist' as
part of the 2.
5) unuse_mm(), that iterates
through the vma's of this 'mm'
will hit the non-NULL zero entry
and operating on this zero entry
as a vma is resulting into the
oops.
The proper fix would be around not exposing this partially-valid tree to
others when droping the mmap lock, which is being solved with [1]. A
simpler solution would be checking for MMF_UNSTABLE, as it is set if
mm_struct is not fully initialized in dup_mmap().
Thanks to Liam/Lorenzo/David for all the suggestions in fixing this
issue.

Subject: mm/ksm: fix incorrect KSM counter handling in mm_struct during fork
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:16:59 +0530
Patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during
fork", v3.
The first patch in this series fixes the incorrect accounting of KSM
counters such as ksm_merging_pages, ksm_rmap_items, and the global
ksm_zero_pages during fork.
The following patch add a selftest to verify the ksm_merging_pages counter
was updated correctly during fork.
Test Results
============
Without the first patch
-----------------------
# [RUN] test_fork_ksm_merging_page_count
not ok 10 ksm_merging_page in child: 32
With the first patch
--------------------
# [RUN] test_fork_ksm_merging_page_count
ok 10 ksm_merging_pages is not inherited after fork
This patch (of 2):
Currently, the KSM-related counters in `mm_struct`, such as
`ksm_merging_pages`, `ksm_rmap_items`, and `ksm_zero_pages`, are inherited
by the child process during fork. This results in inconsistent
accounting.
When a process uses KSM, identical pages are merged and an rmap item is
created for each merged page. The `ksm_merging_pages` and
`ksm_rmap_items` counters are updated accordingly. However, after a fork,
these counters are copied to the child while the corresponding rmap items
are not. As a result, when the child later triggers an unmerge, there are
no rmap items present in the child, so the counters remain stale, leading
to incorrect accounting.
A similar issue exists with `ksm_zero_pages`, which maintains both a
global counter and a per-process counter. During fork, the per-process
counter is inherited by the child, but the global counter is not
incremented. Since the child also references zero pages, the global
counter should be updated as well. Otherwise, during zero-page unmerge,
both the global and per-process counters are decremented, causing the
global counter to become inconsistent.
To fix this, ksm_merging_pages and ksm_rmap_items are reset to 0 during
fork, and the global ksm_zero_pages counter is updated with the
per-process ksm_zero_pages value inherited by the child. This ensures
that KSM statistics remain accurate and reflect the activity of each
process correctly.

Syskaller reports a "WARNING in ovl_copy_up_file" in overlayfs.
This warning is ultimately caused because the underlying Squashfs file
system returns a file with a negative file size.
This commit checks for a negative file size and returns EINVAL.
