Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- Fix netfs_limit_iter() hitting BUG() when an ITER_KVEC iterator
reaches it via core dump writes to 9P filesystems. Add ITER_KVEC
handling following the same pattern as the existing ITER_BVEC code.
- Fix a NULL pointer dereference in the netfs unbuffered write retry
path when the filesystem (e.g., 9P) doesn't set the prepare_write
operation.
- Clear I_DIRTY_TIME in sync_lazytime for filesystems implementing
->sync_lazytime. Without this the flag stays set and may cause
additional unnecessary calls during inode deactivation.
- Increase tmpfs size in mount_setattr selftests. A recent commit
bumped the ext4 image size to 2 GB but didn't adjust the tmpfs
backing store, so mkfs.ext4 fails with ENOSPC writing metadata.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix potential deadlock in osnoise and hotplug
The interface_lock can be called by a osnoise thread and the CPU
shutdown logic of osnoise can wait for this thread to finish. But
cpus_read_lock() can also be taken while holding the interface_lock.
This produces a circular lock dependency and can cause a deadlock.
Swap the ordering of cpus_read_lock() and the interface_lock to have
interface_lock taken within the cpus_read_lock() context to prevent
this circular dependency.
- Fix freeing of event triggers in early boot up
If the same trigger is added on the kernel command line, the second

tracing: Drain deferred trigger frees if kthread creation fails
Boot-time trigger registration can fail before the trigger-data cleanup
kthread exists. Deferring those frees until late init is fine, but the
post-boot fallback must still drain the deferred list if kthread
creation never succeeds.
Otherwise, boot-deferred nodes can accumulate on
trigger_data_free_list, later frees fall back to synchronously freeing
only the current object, and the older queued entries are leaked
forever.
To trigger this, add the following to the kernel command line:
trace_event=sched_switch trace_trigger=sched_switch.traceon,sched_switch.traceon
The second traceon trigger will fail and be freed. This triggers a NULL
pointer dereference and crashes the kernel.

mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr before accessing contexts_arr[0]
Multiple sysfs command paths dereference contexts_arr[0] without first
verifying that kdamond->contexts->nr == 1. A user can set nr_contexts to
0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, causing NULL pointer dereferences.
In more detail, the issue can be triggered by privileged users like
below.
First, start DAMON and make contexts directory empty
(kdamond->contexts->nr == 0).
# damo start
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0
# echo 0 > contexts/nr_contexts
Then, each of below commands will cause the NULL pointer dereference.

mm/memory: fix PMD/PUD checks in follow_pfnmap_start()
follow_pfnmap_start() suffers from two problems:
(1) We are not re-fetching the pmd/pud after taking the PTL
Therefore, we are not properly stabilizing what the lock actually
protects. If there is concurrent zapping, we would indicate to the
caller that we found an entry, however, that entry might already have
been invalidated, or contain a different PFN after taking the lock.
Properly use pmdp_get() / pudp_get() after taking the lock.
(2) pmd_leaf() / pud_leaf() are not well defined on non-present entries
pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() could wrongly trigger on non-present entries.
There is no real guarantee that pmd_leaf()/pud_leaf() returns something
reasonable on non-present entries. Most architectures indeed either

mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr in repeat_call_fn
damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() calls damon_sysfs_upd_tuned_intervals(),
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_stats(), and
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_effective_quotas() without checking contexts->nr.
If nr_contexts is set to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, these
functions dereference contexts_arr[0] and cause a NULL pointer
dereference. Add the missing check.
For example, the issue can be reproduced using DAMON sysfs interface and
DAMON user-space tool (damo) [1] like below.

mm/pagewalk: fix race between concurrent split and refault
The splitting of a PUD entry in walk_pud_range() can race with a
concurrent thread refaulting the PUD leaf entry causing it to try walking
a PMD range that has disappeared.
An example and reproduction of this is to try reading numa_maps of a
process while VFIO-PCI is setting up DMA (specifically the
vfio_pin_pages_remote call) on a large BAR for that process.
This will trigger a kernel BUG:

mm/mseal: update VMA end correctly on merge
Previously we stored the end of the current VMA in curr_end, and then upon
iterating to the next VMA updated curr_start to curr_end to advance to the
next VMA.
However, this doesn't take into account the fact that a VMA might be
updated due to a merge by vma_modify_flags(), which can result in curr_end
being stale and thus, upon setting curr_start to curr_end, ending up with
an incorrect curr_start on the next iteration.
Resolve the issue by setting curr_end to vma->vm_end unconditionally to
ensure this value remains updated should this occur.
While we're here, eliminate this entire class of bug by simply setting
const curr_[start/end] to be clamped to the input range and VMAs, which
also happens to simplify the logic.

mm/swap: fix swap cache memcg accounting
The swap readahead path was recently refactored and while doing this, the
order between the charging of the folio in the memcg and the addition of
the folio in the swap cache was inverted.
Since the accounting of the folio is done while adding the folio to the
swap cache and the folio is not charged in the memcg yet, the accounting
is then done at the node level, which is wrong.
Fix this by charging the folio in the memcg before adding it to the swap cache.
