In md_do_sync(), when md_sync_action returns ACTION_FROZEN, subsequent
call to md_sync_position() will return MaxSector. This causes
'curr_resync' (and later 'recovery_offset') to be set to MaxSector too,
which incorrectly signals that recovery/resync has completed, even though
disk data has not actually been updated.
To fix this issue, skip updating any offset values when the sync action
is FROZEN. The same holds true for IDLE.

The smatch checker reports a “scheduler in atomic context” problem in
the following call chain:
miss_read_end_req()
-> cache_seg_put()
-> cache_seg_invalidate()
-> cache_seg_gen_increase()
-> mutex_lock(&cache_seg->ctrl_lock);
In practice, this `mutex_lock` will not actually schedule, because it is
only called when `cache_seg_put()` drops the last reference, which is
single-threaded. That is also why the issue never shows up during real
testing.
However, the code is still buggy. The original purpose of `ctrl_lock`
was to prevent read/write conflicts on the cache segment control
information. Looking at the current usage, all control information
accesses are single-threaded: reads only occur during the init phase,
where no conflicts are possible, and writes happen once in the init
phase (also single-threaded) and once when `cache_seg_put()` drops the
last reference (again single-threaded).
Therefore, this patch removes `ctrl_lock` entirely and adds comments in
the appropriate places to document this logic.

There is a race condition between dm device suspend and table load that

Fix this by checking if a valid table (map) exists before performing
request-based suspend and waiting for target I/O. When map is NULL,
skip these table-dependent suspend steps.
Even when map is NULL, no I/O can reach any target because there is
no table loaded; I/O submitted in this state will fail early in the
DM layer. Skipping the table-dependent suspend logic in this case
is safe and avoids NULL pointer dereferences.

This patch introduces dm-pcache, a new DM target that places a DAX-
capable persistent-memory device in front of any slower block device and
uses it as a high-throughput, low-latency cache.
Design highlights
-----------------
- DAX data path – data is copied directly between DRAM and the pmem
mapping, bypassing the block layer’s overhead.
- Segmented, crash-consistent layout
- all layout metadata are dual-replicated CRC-protected.
- atomic kset flushes; key replay on mount guarantees cache integrity
even after power loss.
- Striped multi-tree index
- Multi‑tree indexing for high parallelism.
- overlap-resolution logic ensures non-intersecting cached extents.
- Background services
- write-back worker flushes dirty keys in order, preserving backing-device
crash consistency. This is important for checkpoint in cloud storage.
- garbage collector reclaims clean segments when utilisation exceeds a
tunable threshold.
- Data integrity – optional CRC32 on cached payload; metadata always protected.

Mark dm error as DM_TARGET_PASSES_INTEGRITY so that it can be stacked on
top of PI capable devices. The claim is strictly speaking as lie as dm
error fails all I/O and doesn't pass anything on, but doing the same for
integrity I/O work just fine :)
This helps to make about two dozen xfstests test cases pass on PI capable
devices.

During raid resync, if a disk becomes faulty, the operation is
briefly interrupted. The MD_RECOVERY_RECOVER flag triggered by
the disk failure causes sync_action to incorrectly show "recover"
instead of "resync". The same issue affects reshape operations.
Reproduction steps:
mdadm -Cv /dev/md1 -l1 -n4 -e1.2 /dev/sd{a..d} // -> resync happened
mdadm -f /dev/md1 /dev/sda // -> resync interrupted
cat sync_action
-> recover

"mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
"mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
"mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
reliably.
"drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().
"mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
tunable to control the update interval.
"Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
does what is claims.
"mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab

In commit 4cc96131af ("dm: move request-based code out to dm-rq.[hc]")
we have a note: "DM targets should _never_ include dm-core.h!". And it
is not used in any DM targets except dm-raid now, so let's remove it
from dm-raid for consistency, also use special helpers instead of
accessing dm_table and mapper_device fields directly. This change is
merely a cleanup and should not affect functionality.

Fix Smatch-detected error:
drivers/md/dm-zoned-target.c:1073 dmz_iterate_devices()
error: uninitialized symbol 'r'.
Smatch detects a possible use of the uninitialized variable 'r' in
dmz_iterate_devices() because if dmz->nr_ddevs is zero, the loop is
skipped and 'r' is returned without being set, leading to undefined
behavior.
Initialize 'r' to 0 before the loop. This ensures that if there are no
devices to iterate over, the function still returns a defined value.

The support for asynchronous hashes in dm-verity has outlived its
usefulness. It adds significant code complexity and opportunity for
bugs. I don't know of anyone using it in practice. (The original
submitter of the code possibly was, but that was 8 years ago.) Data I
recently collected for en/decryption shows that using off-CPU crypto
"accelerators" is consistently much slower than the CPU
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250704070322.20692-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/),
even on CPUs that lack dedicated cryptographic instructions. Similar
results are likely to be seen for hashing.
I already removed support for asynchronous hashes from fsverity two
years ago, and no one ever complained.
Moreover, neither dm-verity, fsverity, nor fscrypt has ever actually
used the asynchronous crypto algorithms in a truly asynchronous manner.
The lack of interest in such optimizations provides further evidence
that it's only the CPU-based crypto that actually matters.
Historically, it's also been common for people to forget to enable the
optimized SHA-256 code, which could contribute to an off-CPU crypto
engine being perceived as more useful than it really is. In 6.16 I
fixed that: the optimized SHA-256 code is now enabled by default.
Therefore, let's drop the support for asynchronous hashes in dm-verity.
Tested with verity-compat-test.

Commit a1fd37f978 ("md: Don't wait for MD_RECOVERY_NEEDED for
HOT_REMOVE_DISK ioctl") introduced a regression in the md_cluster
module. (Failed cases 02r1_Manage_re-add & 02r10_Manage_re-add)
Consider a 2-node cluster:
- node1 set faulty & remove command on a disk.
- node2 must correctly update the array metadata.
Before a1fd37f978, on node1, the delay between msg:METADATA_UPDATED
(triggered by faulty) and msg:REMOVE was sufficient for node2 to
reload the disk info (written by node1).
After a1fd37f978, node1 no longer waits between faulty and remove,
causing it to send msg:REMOVE while node2 is still reloading disk info.
This often results in node2 failing to remove the faulty disk.
== how to trigger ==
set up a 2-node cluster (node1 & node2) with disks vdc & vdd.
on node1:
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l1 -b clustered -n2 /dev/vdc /dev/vdd --assume-clean
ssh node2-ip mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/vdc /dev/vdd
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/vdc --remove /dev/vdc
check array status on both nodes with "mdadm -D /dev/md0".
node1 output:
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
- 0 0 0 removed
1 254 48 1 active sync /dev/vdd
node2 output:
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
- 0 0 0 removed
1 254 48 1 active sync /dev/vdd
0 254 32 - faulty /dev/vdc

Pull vfs 'protection info' updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the new FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP ioctl() to query metadata and
protection info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information
about the files integrity profile. This is useful for userspace
applications to understand a files end-to-end data protection support
and configure the I/O accordingly.
For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts.
A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:
- lbmd_flags:
bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags
- lbmd_interval:
the amount of data described by each unit of logical block metadata
- lbmd_size:
size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated with each
interval
- lbmd_opaque_size:
size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated with each interval
- lbmd_opaque_offset:
offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within the logical block
metadata
- lbmd_pi_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each interval
- lbmd_pi_offset:
offset in bytes of T10 PI tuple within the logical block metadata
- lbmd_pi_guard_tag_type:
T10 PI guard tag type
- lbmd_pi_app_tag_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI application tag
- lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag
- lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag
The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper
function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile
associated with the device. The ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP, if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is not enabled"

Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner:
"fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files
efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate
blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified.
The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the
user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata
changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write
amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode.
At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty
file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large
block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable
amount of disk bandwidth.
Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is
possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write
zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the
media.
For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support
the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data
to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a
deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write
bandwidth.
This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and
BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and
device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and
STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices.
fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES
flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a
way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further
changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for
subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block
allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes"

Commit 2df7168717 ("dm: Always split write BIOs to zoned device
limits") updates the device-mapper driver to perform splits for the
write BIOs. However, it did not address the cases where DM targets do
not emulate zone append, such as in the cases of dm-linear or dm-flakey.
For these targets, when the write BIOs span across zone boundaries, they
trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(bio_straddles_zones(bio)) in
blk_zone_wplug_handle_write(). This results in I/O errors. The errors
are reproduced by running blktests test case zbd/004 using zoned
dm-linear or dm-flakey devices.
To avoid the I/O errors, handle the write BIOs regardless whether DM
targets emulate zone append or not, so that all write BIOs are split at
zone boundaries. For that purpose, drop the check for zone append
emulation in dm_zone_bio_needs_split(). Its argument 'md' is no longer
used then drop it also.

Currently we use min io size as the chunk size when deciding on the
atomic write size limits - see blk_stack_atomic_writes_head().
The limit min_io size is not a reliable value to store the chunk size, as
this may be mutated by the block stacking code. Such an example would be
for the min io size less than the physical block size, and the min io size
is raised to the physical block size - see blk_stack_limits().
The block stacking limits will rely on chunk_sectors in future,
so set this value (to the chunk size).
