pinctrl: bcm2835: Don't remove an unregistered GPIO chip
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: bcm2835: Don't remove an unregistered GPIO chip
If the devm_pinctrl_register() function fails,
bcm2835_pinctrl_probe() calls gpiochip_remove()
before gpiochip_add_data() has registered the GPIO chip.
This means that upon failure the gpio_chip.gpiodev
is NULL resulting in a null pointer dereference
inside the gpiochip_remove() function.
Remove the unnecessary function call to gpiochip_remove().
No GPIO cleanup is required because the GPIO chip
has not yet been registered. Without this change there
is potential for a kernel panic upon registration failure
ext4: fix circular lock dependency in ext4_ext_migrate
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix circular lock dependency in ext4_ext_migrate
Move iput(tmp_inode) after ext4_writepages_up_write() to avoid a
circular lock dependency between s_writepages_rwsem and sb_internal
(freeze protection).
The deadlock scenario:
CPU0 (EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE) CPU1 (orphan cleanup during mount)
---- ----
ext4_ext_migrate()
ext4_writepages_down_write()
s_writepages_rwsem (write)
ext4_evict_inode()

ext4: skip extra isize expansion during mount to prevent deadlock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: skip extra isize expansion during mount to prevent deadlock
ext4_try_to_expand_extra_isize() is called from __ext4_mark_inode_dirty()
while holding an active jbd2 handle. During mount (!SB_ACTIVE), the
expand path may move xattrs to external blocks and release ea_inodes via
iput(). When !SB_ACTIVE, iput() calls write_inode_now() which acquires
s_writepages_rwsem, creating a circular lock dependency:
s_writepages_rwsem --> jbd2_handle --> xattr_sem --> s_writepages_rwsem
This can be triggered via:
ext4_process_orphan() -> ext4_truncate() -> ext4_mark_inode_dir

RDMA/efa: Fix PBL chunk length computation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/efa: Fix PBL chunk length computation
On register MR, when creating the PBL, if it's an indirect PBL we create
a chunk list to hold the PBL pages pointers. Each chunk is 4KB in size
and can hold 510 addresses (EFA_PTRS_PER_CHUNK) and has a 12-byte
control buffer at the end of it holding the next chunk's pointer and its
length.
If the PBL number of pages is a multiple of EFA_PTRS_PER_CHUNK, the
calculated last chunk length is wrongly computed as 0, even though that
chunk is fully populated with 510 real page pointers. This wrong length
is used both to DMA map the chunk
md/raid5-ppl: fix use-after-free in ppl_do_flush()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5-ppl: fix use-after-free in ppl_do_flush()
The loop in ppl_do_flush() continues iterating after calling
ppl_io_unit_finished(), touching io->pending_flushes and leading to a
use-after-free.
Add a break statement to stop the loop once io is freed.

locking/lockdep: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __lock_set_class()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/lockdep: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __lock_set_class()
register_lock_class() can return NULL when the lock class pool is
exhausted, graph_lock() fails, or key validation fails. However,
__lock_set_class() uses the return value directly in pointer arithmetic
without a NULL check:
class = register_lock_class(lock, subclass, 0);
hlock->class_idx = class - lock_classes;
If class is NULL, this computes a wild offset that corrupts
hlock->class_idx. The subsequent reacquire_held_locks() call will
invoke hlock_class() with this corrupted index, leading to a NULL
powerpc/xive: propagate IPI init errors to prevent use-after-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/xive: propagate IPI init errors to prevent use-after-free
When xive_init_ipis() fails (e.g. irq_domain_alloc_irqs() fails),
the error path frees the global xive_ipis array. However,
xive_smp_probe() previously ignored this failure and proceeded to
call xive_setup_cpu_ipi(), which dereferences the already-freed
xive_ipis pointer -- a use-after-free.
Now that xive_smp_probe() returns int (previous patch), propagate
the error from xive_init_ipis() and xive_setup_cpu_ipi() through
xive_smp_probe(). Check the return value in both pnv_smp_probe()
and pSeries_smp_probe(

arm64: hibernate: mask DAIF before restoring hibernated kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: hibernate: mask DAIF before restoring hibernated kernel
The arm64 hibernate code manages the exception masking in an unsound
way, leading to potential crashes and/or warnings during resume.
When a hibernation image is saved in `swsusp_arch_suspend()`, all DAIF
exceptions are masked (by virtue of `local_daif_save()`), and the
suspended image is saved assuming that all DAIF exceptions will remain
masked when the image is restored.
When a hibernation image is resumed by `swsusp_arch_resume()`, only
interrupts are masked (by virtue of `local_irq_disable()` in
`resume_t

memcg: bypass the reclaim and oom killer for dying tasks once oom_reaper is done
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: bypass the reclaim and oom killer for dying tasks once oom_reaper is done
At Meta, we are seeing instances where an OOM killed job is stuck in the
exit path for several hours. In one particular case, the job was stuck
for more than 8 hours and I had to manually remove the memory.max limits
to allow the process to exit.
The job was a single process job and had ~55 GiB memory.max and zswap
enabled. It had almost 0 anon in memory and ~111 GiB in zswap compressed
to ~51 GiB zswap pool (i.e. almost all of memory.current was zswap).

memcg: make the v1 soft limit knob inert
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: make the v1 soft limit knob inert
The v1 soft limit has been deprecated since v6.12 and nobody has reported
depending on it. Start the removal by decoupling the interface from the
implementation: keep memory.soft_limit_in_bytes, but ignore writes to it
and always report the maximum value on read similar to what
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes already does.
Writes are still parsed, so malformed input keeps returning -EINVAL. The
knob now also behaves the same everywhere: it used to return -EOPNOTSUPP
on PREEMPT_RT, where soft limit reclaim has always been disabled.

arm64: mm: Fix the lockless page-table walk in show_pte()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: mm: Fix the lockless page-table walk in show_pte()
show_pte() walks page tables locklessly and can run with interrupts
enabled. A concurrent teardown can free a table page while it is being
walked. It can also clear a parent entry after show_pte() checked it; the
regular pXd_offset() helpers then reread the cleared entry and can derive a
bogus lower-level pointer and fault again.
Use the lockless offset helpers with the saved parent entries, as
gup_fast() does, and pass the saved PMD to pte_offset_map().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Add DIRECT_MAP_PHYSMEM_END definition
get_free_mem_region() and mhp_get_pluggable_range() bound their search

in include/linux/mm.h applies: under CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP it is
(1ULL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1, a compile-time constant that does not
adapt to the CPU's physical address space bits (cpu_pabits, probed from
CPUCFG1).
The vmemmap window only covers physical space below 2^(cpu_pabits+1)
(i.e. VMEMMAP_SIZE), so on CPUs with fewer physical address bits than

media: meson: vdec: fix NULL pointer deref in vdec_try_fmt_common
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: meson: vdec: fix NULL pointer deref in vdec_try_fmt_common
When VIDIOC_TRY_FMT is called with an unsupported pixel format on the
OUTPUT queue, vdec_try_fmt_common() falls back to V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2.
However, if a distro has locally patched MPEG2 support out (as it has
been broken for some time) the platform format table does not contain
MPEG2 so find_format() returns NULL and the subsequent dereference of
fmt_out->max_width triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix this by falling back to the first format in the platform's format
array instead of hardcoding V4L2_PIX_

nlmsvc_unlock_all_by_ip() calls nlm_traverse_files() with the server

The match callback is later invoked from nlm_traverse_locks() as:

ipv6: use RCU iterator to dump route exceptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
