Limiting negative dentries in Linux kernel discussed at LSFMM+BPF 2026 ⭐️ 8.0/10
At the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, a session led by Miklos Szeredi discussed problems caused by excessive negative dentries in directories, including soft lockups, reference count overflow, and long hash chains. Negative dentries are a key optimization for filesystem lookups, but when a directory accumulates millions of them, they can cause severe performance issues and even security side-channel problems. The proposals discussed could lead to kernel patches that improve filesystem reliability and memory management. Proposed solutions include moving negative dentries to the end of the d_children list so iterators can stop early, adding cond_resched() calls to avoid soft lockups, or switching to a more suitable data structure. Concerns were raised about ordering issues with getdents() and potential complications when a negative dentry becomes positive.
rss · LWN.net · Jul 3, 14:10
Background: Negative dentries are directory entries that cache the non-existence of a file, speeding up lookups by avoiding repeated filesystem access. The dentry cache stores three types: in-use, unused, and negative. Problems arise when directories have hundreds of millions of negative dentries, causing soft lockups or lockref overflow.

CDD Recovers Verbatim Finetuning Data from Logits Alone ⭐️ 8.0/10
Researchers introduce Contrastive Decoding Diffing (CDD), a method that recovers verbatim fine-tuning data from large language models using only logit differences between base and finetuned models, without requiring weight or activation access. This technique significantly improves over prior white-box methods, achieving high verbatim recovery scores on the SDF benchmark, and has important implications for ML safety and interpretability by enabling data leakage detection without full model access. CDD uses a single default configuration across model families ranging from 1B to 32B parameters, and on 19 out of 20 model pairs it achieves a verbatim recovery score of 4 or higher out of 5, whereas the prior Activation Difference Lens (ADL) method never exceeds 3 out of 5 despite requiring full weight access.
reddit · r/MachineLearning · /u/CebulkaZapiekana · Jul 3, 19:01
Background: Contrastive decoding is a technique that improves text generation by contrasting logits from a weak and a strong model. Model diffing refers to comparing models to isolate changes introduced by fine-tuning. CDD applies these ideas in a grey-box setting, where only logit outputs are available, to extract verbatim training data.
