Subject: [GIT PULL for v7.0] vfs fixes
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 15:16:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225-vfs-fixes-5b96f026f275@brauner> (raw)
Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains fixes for this cycle:
- Fix an uninitialized variable in file_getattr(). The flags_valid field
wasn't initialized before calling vfs_fileattr_get(), triggering KMSAN
uninit-value reports in fuse.
- Fix writeback wakeup and logging timeouts when DETECT_HUNG_TASK is not
enabled. sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs is 0 in that case causing
spurious "waiting for writeback completion for more than 1 seconds"
warnings.
- Fix a null-ptr-deref in do_statmount() when the mount is internal.
- Add missing kernel-doc description for the @private parameter in
iomap_readahead().
- Fix mount namespace creation to hold namespace_sem across the mount
copy in create_new_namespace(). The previous drop-and-reacquire
pattern was fragile and failed to clean up mount propagation links if
the real rootfs was a shared or dependent mount.
- Fix /proc mount iteration where m->index wasn't updated when
m->show() overflows, causing a restart to repeatedly show the same
mount entry in a rapidly expanding mount table.
- Return EFSCORRUPTED instead of ENOSPC in minix_new_inode() when the
inode number is out of range.
- Fix unshare(2) when CLONE_NEWNS is set and current->fs isn't shared.
copy_mnt_ns() received the live fs_struct so if a subsequent namespace
creation failed the rollback would leave pwd and root pointing to
detached mounts. Always allocate a new fs_struct when CLONE_NEWNS is
requested.
- fserror bug fixes:
- Remove the unused fsnotify_sb_error() helper now that all callers
have been converted to fserror_report_metadata.
- Fix a lockdep splat in fserror_report() where igrab() takes
inode::i_lock which can be held in IRQ context. Replace igrab() with
a direct i_count bump since filesystems should not report inodes that
are about to be freed or not yet exposed.
- Handle error pointer in procfs for try_lookup_noperm().
- Fix an integer overflow in ep_loop_check_proc() where recursive calls
returning INT_MAX would overflow when +1 is added, breaking the
recursion depth check.
- Fix a misleading break in pidfs.
