Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang: "The most impactful fix here is to disable LZ4 rolling decompression for now. AWS folks recently found their systems could get corrupted data with some rare, specific LZ4 datasets, and after a deeper analysis, I found the root cause is that there could be uncontrolled backward memory copies in the current LZ4 implementation and it breaks the assumption of the rolling decompression optimization, since the kernel LZ4 codebase is out of our control and it needs more time to plan how to do next, so disable LZ4 rolling decompression for now to ensure data correctness for real production on these rare cases first. The technical details also see the corresponding commit. Other changes are random minor fixes. Summary: - Disable LZ4 rolling decompression for now due to the uncontrolled LZ4 implementation - Fix missing sysfs feature entry for xattr prefixes - Fix invalid LZMA decoders on resize failure - Rearrange the inode_share cache key to avoid potential collisions - Fix erofs_bread() when fsoffset is used on sub-page-block EROFS filesystems" * tag 'erofs-for-7.3-rc3-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs: erofs: add missing buf->off in erofs_bread() erofs: delimit inode_share cache key components erofs: disable LZ4 rolling decompression for now erofs: preserve LZMA decoders on resize failure erofs: add sysfs feature entry for xattr prefixes

ima: don't measure/appraise files on configfs

2026-09-02T02:29:08+00:00

IMA measurement of a configfs file causes process_measurement() to hold iint->mutex while performing a kernel_read() to hash it, which re-enters configfs's own file locking (buffer->mutex, frag_sem). Separately, opening any file with O_TRUNC now causes ima_file_truncate() to take iint->mutex to reset the cached action flags, while sb_writers is already held for that mount. When a configfs-backed nvmet namespace is involved, these two independent lock chains combine into a cycle: iint->mutex -> configfs locks -> subsys->lock -> sb_writers -> iint->mutex Add configfs to the builtin don't measure/appraise rules, similarly to other pseudo file systems, so IMA never takes iint->mutex for configfs file in the first place.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, key enhancements focus on reducing inode management memory overhead, introducing resizable tail sections with unified pinned allocation, and boosting I/O throughput via parallel multi-device flushes and asynchronous f2fs_write_end_io() execution. We also add dynamic device alias reservations to allow on-the-fly space donation from user partitions. Alongside these features, critical bug fixes resolve folio race conditions, lingering dirty flags, dentry and block counter leaks, and potential deadloops in f2fs_fsync_node_pages(). Additional stability patches address error-path handling across symlink, sync, and rename/unlink operations, prevent pinned file fragmentation, and correct segment migration and free section accounting in free_segment_range.

f2fs: support resizable tail section and unify pinned allocation

2026-08-27T04:47:36+00:00

Currently, zoned block devices restrict pinned file allocations to conventional zones at the beginning of the storage (before first_seq_zone_segno), triggering range GC when conventional space is exhausted. On regular block devices, when preparing for future online filesystem resizing (e.g. partition shrinking), pinned files must not be allocated in the tail area that will be truncated, as pinned files cannot be relocated by GC. Specifying the resizable tail area size (in sections) allows uniform mount configuration across devices of different storage capacities. To support this, introduce a unified `pinned_area_max_secno` boundary abstraction in `f2fs_sb_info`: 1. Add `-o resizable_tail_secno=%u` mount option to specify the number of sections at the tail of the filesystem reserved for resizing. 2. In `f2fs_fill_super()`, initialize `sbi->pinned_area_max_secno` as: min(MAIN_SECS(sbi) - resizable_tail_sec, zoned_max_sec). 3. In `get_new_segment()`, restrict segment allocation for pinned files (`pinning == true`) to `0 .. sbi->pinned_area_max_secno - 1`. If no free section is available in the pinned area, return -EAGAIN. 4. In `f2fs_allocate_pinning_section()`, unify the range GC trigger to run `f2fs_gc_range()` up to `sbi->pinned_area_max_secno` whenever `sbi->pinned_area_max_secno < MAIN_SECS(sbi)` and allocation returns -EAGAIN. 5. Expose `/sys/fs/f2fs//pinned_area_max_secno` as a read-only sysfs node. Signed-off-by: Daeho Jeong Signed-off-by: Sunmin Jeong Reviewed-by: Wenjie Qi Reviewed-by: Chao Yu Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim
