| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Avoid lock inversion when pinning to GGTT on CHV/BXT+VTD
On completion of i915_vma_pin_ww(), a synchronous variant of
dma_fence_work_commit() is called. When pinning a VMA to GGTT address
space on a Cherry View family processor, or on a Broxton generation SoC
with VTD enabled, i.e., when stop_machine() is then called from
intel_ggtt_bind_vma(), that can potentially lead to lock inversion among
reservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks.

net/net_failover: fix txq exceeding warning
The failover txq is inited as 16 queues.
when a packet is transmitted from the failover device firstly,
the failover device will select the queue which is returned from
the primary device if the primary device is UP and running.
If the primary device txq is bigger than the default 16,
it can lead to the following warning:
eth0 selects TX queue 18, but real number of TX queues is 16

RDMA/irdma: Fix memory leak of PBLE objects
On rmmod of irdma, the PBLE object memory is not being freed. PBLE object
memory are not statically pre-allocated at function initialization time
unlike other HMC objects. PBLEs objects and the Segment Descriptors (SD)
for it can be dynamically allocated during scale up and SD's remain
allocated till function deinitialization.
Fix this leak by adding IRDMA_HMC_IW_PBLE to the iw_hmc_obj_types[] table
and skip pbles in irdma_create_hmc_obj but not in irdma_del_hmc_objects(). |

ARM: OMAP2+: Fix memory leak in realtime_counter_init()

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlx5: Fix default values in create CQ
Currently, CQs without a completion function are assigned the
mlx5_add_cq_to_tasklet function by default. This is problematic since
only user CQs created through the mlx5_ib driver are intended to use
this function.
Additionally, all CQs that will use doorbells instead of polling for
completions must call mlx5_cq_arm. However, the default CQ creation flow
leaves a valid value in the CQ's arm_db field, allowing FW to send
interrupts to polling-only CQs in certain corner cases.
These two factors would allow a polling-only kernel CQ to be triggered
by an EQ interrupt and call a completion function intended only for user
CQs, causing a null pointer exception.
Some areas in the driver have prevented this issue with one-off fixes
but did not address the root cause.
This patch fixes the described issue by adding defaults to the create CQ
flow. It adds a default dummy completion function to protect against
null pointer exceptions, and it sets an invalid command sequence number
by default in kernel CQs to prevent the FW from sending an interrupt to
the CQ until it is armed. User CQs are responsible for their own
initialization values.
Callers of mlx5_core_create_cq are responsible for changing the
completion function and arming the CQ per their needs. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/rtas: avoid device tree lookups in rtas_os_term()
rtas_os_term() is called during panic. Its behavior depends on a couple
of conditions in the /rtas node of the device tree, the traversal of
which entails locking and local IRQ state changes. If the kernel panics
while devtree_lock is held, rtas_os_term() as currently written could
hang.
Instead of discovering the relevant characteristics at panic time,
cache them in file-static variables at boot. Note the lookup for
"ibm,extended-os-term" is converted to of_property_read_bool() since it
is a boolean property, not an RTAS function token.

posix-timers: Plug potential memory leak in do_timer_create()
When posix timer creation is set to allocate a given timer ID and the
access to the user space value faults, the function terminates without

If something goes wrong at setup, ksz_irq_free() can be called on
uninitialized ksz_irq (for example when ksz_ptp_irq_setup() fails). It
leads to freeing uninitialized IRQ numbers and/or domains.

erofs: avoid infinite loop due to incomplete zstd-compressed data
Currently, the decompression logic incorrectly spins if compressed
data is truncated in crafted (deliberately corrupted) images. |

rpmsg: glink: Add check for kstrdup
Add check for the return value of kstrdup() and return the error
if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: thead: th1520-ap: set all AXI clocks to CLK_IS_CRITICAL
The AXI crossbar of TH1520 has no proper timeout handling, which means
gating AXI clocks can easily lead to bus timeout and thus system hang.
Set all AXI clock gates to CLK_IS_CRITICAL. All these clock gates are
ungated by default on system reset.
In addition, convert all current CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED usage to
CLK_IS_CRITICAL to prevent unwanted clock gating. |

drm/rockchip: dw_hdmi: cleanup drm encoder during unbind
This fixes a use-after-free crash during rmmod.
The DRM encoder is embedded inside the larger rockchip_hdmi,
which is allocated with the component. The component memory
gets freed before the main drm device is destroyed. Fix it
by running encoder cleanup before tearing down its container.
[moved encoder cleanup above clk_disable, similar to bind-error-path] |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix possible soft lockup in __audit_inode_child()
Tracefs or debugfs maybe cause hundreds to thousands of PATH records,
too many PATH records maybe cause soft lockup.
For example:
1. CONFIG_KASAN=y && CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n
2. auditctl -a exit,always -S open -k key
3. sysctl -w kernel.watchdog_thresh=5
4. mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test
There may be a soft lockup as follows:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#45 stuck for 7s! [mkdir:15498]
Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

s390/dcssblk: fix kernel crash with list_add corruption
Commit fb08a1908cb1 ("dax: simplify the dax_device <-> gendisk
association") introduced new logic for gendisk association, requiring
drivers to explicitly call dax_add_host() and dax_remove_host().
For dcssblk driver, some dax_remove_host() calls were missing, e.g. in
device remove path. The commit also broke error handling for out_dax case
in device add path, resulting in an extra put_device() w/o the previous
get_device() in that case.
This lead to stale xarray entries after device add / remove cycles. In the
case when a previously used struct gendisk pointer (xarray index) would be
used again, because blk_alloc_disk() happened to return such a pointer, the
xa_insert() in dax_add_host() would fail and go to out_dax, doing the extra
put_device() in the error path. In combination with an already flawed error
handling in dcssblk (device_register() cleanup), which needs to be
addressed in a separate patch, this resulted in a missing device_del() /
klist_del(), and eventually in the kernel crash with list_add corruption on
a subsequent device_add() / klist_add().
Fix this by adding the missing dax_remove_host() calls, and also move the
put_device() in the error path to restore the previous logic. |

drm/sysfb: Do not dereference NULL pointer in plane reset
The plane state in __drm_gem_reset_shadow_plane() can be NULL. Do not
deref that pointer, but forward NULL to the other plane-reset helpers.
Clears plane->state to NULL.
