git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linkinjeon/ntfs Pull ntfs resurrection from Namjae Jeon: "Ever since Kari Argillander’s 2022 report [1] regarding the state of the ntfs3 driver, I have spent the last 4 years working to provide full write support and current trends (iomap, no buffer head, folio), enhanced performance, stable maintenance, utility support including fsck for NTFS in Linux. This new implementation is built upon the clean foundation of the original read-only NTFS driver, adding: - Write support: Implemented full write support based on the classic read-only NTFS driver. Added delayed allocation to improve write performance through multi-cluster allocation and reduced fragmentation of the cluster bitmap. - iomap conversion: Switched buffered IO (reads/writes), direct IO, file extent mapping, readpages, and writepages to use iomap. - Remove buffer_head: Completely removed buffer_head usage by converting to folios. As a result, the dependency on CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD has been removed from Kconfig. - Stability improvements: The new ntfs driver passes 326 xfstests, compared to 273 for ntfs3. All tests passed by ntfs3 are a complete subset of the tests passed by this implementation. Added support for fallocate, idmapped mounts, permissions, and more. xfstests Results report: Total tests run: 787 Passed : 326 Failed : 38 Skipped : 423 Failed tests breakdown: - 34 tests require metadata journaling - 4 other tests: 094: No unwritten extent concept in NTFS on-disk format 563: cgroup v2 aware writeback accounting not supported 631: RENAME_WHITEOUT support required 787: NFS delegation test" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/da20d32b-5185-f40b-48b8-2986922d8b25@stargateuniverse.net/ [1] [ Let's see if this undead filesystem ends up being of the "Easter miracle" kind, or the "Nosferatu of filesystems" kind... ] * tag 'ntfs-for-7.1-rc1-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linkinjeon/ntfs: (46 commits) ntfs: remove redundant out-of-bound checks ntfs: add bound checking to ntfs_external_attr_find ntfs: add bound checking to ntfs_attr_find ntfs: fix ignoring unreachable code warnings ntfs: fix inconsistent indenting warnings ntfs: fix variable dereferenced before check warnings ntfs: prefer IS_ERR_OR_NULL() over manual NULL check ntfs: harden ntfs_listxattr against EA entries ntfs: harden ntfs_ea_lookup against malformed EA entries ntfs: check $EA query-length in ntfs_ea_get ntfs: validate WSL EA payload sizes ntfs: fix WSL ea restore condition ntfs: add missing newlines to pr_err() messages ntfs: fix pointer/integer casting warnings ntfs: use ->mft_no instead of ->i_ino in prints ntfs: change mft_no type to u64 ntfs: select FS_IOMAP in Kconfig ntfs: add MODULE_ALIAS_FS ntfs: reduce stack usage in ntfs_write_mft_block() ntfs: fix sysctl table registration and path ...
2026-04-07ntfs: remove redundant out-of-bound checksHyunchul Lee-42/+0
Remove redundant out-of-bounds validations. Since ntfs_attr_find and ntfs_external_attr_find now validate the attribute value offsets and lengths against the bounds of the MFT record block, performing subsequent bounds checking in caller functions like ntfs_attr_lookup is no longer necessary.

2026-03-10ntfs: add missing newlines to pr_err() messagesWoody Suwalski-15/+15
There is an inconsistent use of pr_err() statements in the current code. Many error messages are missing the \n termination, what results in the messages being printed with a delay, only after a next printk() line is printed. It prevents relying on printk() to monitor the driver errors. This patch is modifying only text messages, no functional change.

2026-03-04ntfs: reduce stack usage in ntfs_write_mft_block()Arnd Bergmann-2/+7
The use of two large arrays in this function makes the stack frame exceed the warning limit in some configurations, especially with KASAN enabled. When CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE is set to 65536, each of the arrays contains 128 pointers, so the combined size is 2KB: fs/ntfs/mft.c: In function 'ntfs_write_mft_block.isra': fs/ntfs/mft.c:2891:1: error: the frame size of 2640 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] Use dynamic allocation of these arrays to avoid getting into dangerously high stack usage. Unfortunately, allocating memory in the writepages() code path can be problematic in case of low memory situations, so it would be better to rework the code more widely to avoid the allocation entirely.

2026-03-01ntfs: fix sysctl table registration and pathNamjae Jeon-2/+1
The presence of a sentinel (an empty {}) at the end of the ctl_table array now causes a "sysctl table check failed" error because the kernel attempts to validate the null entry as a functional node. Deleted the empty {} from the ntfs_sysctls array to prevent the "procname is null" and "No proc_handler" errors and updated the base path from "fs" to "fs/ntfs" to ensure the ntfs-debug node is correctly located under /proc/sys/fs/ntfs/.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this work. In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only. The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL. Let us recap the purpose of this work: - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table. Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes.

See the series 'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'. - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series 'maple_tree: iterator state changes'. - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series 'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'. - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the series 'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS' 'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests' 'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8' - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm: memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'. - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during anonymous page faults. - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head cleanups'. - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series 'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free. - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm: Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs. - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'. - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the writeback paths'. - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan: save mempool stack traces'. - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series 'kasan: assorted clean-ups'. - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap: interface overhaul'. - Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code in the series 'mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup'. - Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code cleanups in the series 'Remove some lruvec page accounting functions'" * tag 'mm-stable-2024-01-08-15-31' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (361 commits) mm, treewide: rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER mm, treewide: introduce NR_PAGE_ORDERS selftests/mm: add separate UFFDIO_MOVE test for PMD splitting selftests/mm: skip test if application doesn't has root privileges selftests/mm: conform test to TAP format output selftests: mm: hugepage-mmap: conform to TAP format output selftests/mm: gup_test: conform test to TAP format output mm/selftests: hugepage-mremap: conform test to TAP format output mm/vmstat: move pgdemote_* out of CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING mm: zsmalloc: return -ENOSPC rather than -EINVAL in zs_malloc while size is too large mm/memcontrol: remove __mod_lruvec_page_state() mm/khugepaged: use a folio more in collapse_file() slub: use a folio in __kmalloc_large_node slub: use folio APIs in free_large_kmalloc() slub: use alloc_pages_node() in alloc_slab_page() mm: remove inc/dec lruvec page state functions mm: ratelimit stat flush from workingset shrinker kasan: stop leaking stack trace handles mm/mglru: remove CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE mm/mglru: add dummy pmd_dirty() ...
2023-12-29fs: convert block_write_full_page to block_write_full_folioMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)-2/+2
Convert the function to be compatible with writepage_t so that it can be passed to write_cache_pages() by blkdev. This removes a call to compound_head(). We can also remove the function export as both callers are built-in.

2023-12-28fs: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table arrayJoel Granados-1/+0
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the register sysctl call that expects a size. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: "Darrick J.

2023-12-10fs: convert error_remove_page to error_remove_folioMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)-3/+3
There were already assertions that we were not passing a tail page to error_remove_page(), so make the compiler enforce that by converting everything to pass and use a folio.

2023-11-21fs: Rename mapping private membersMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)-5/+5
It is hard to find where mapping->private_lock, mapping->private_list and mapping->private_data are used, due to private_XXX being a relatively common name for variables and structure members in the kernel. To fit with other members of struct address_space, rename them all to have an i_ prefix. Tested with an allmodconfig build.
