| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/psi: fix race between file release and pressure write
A potential race condition exists between pressure write and cgroup file
release regarding the priv member of struct kernfs_open_file, which
triggers the uaf reported in [1].
Consider the following scenario involving execution on two separate CPUs:
CPU0 CPU1
==== ====
vfs_rmdir()
kernfs_iop_rmdir()
cgroup_rmdir()
cgroup_kn_lock_live()
cgroup_destroy_locked()
cgroup_addrm_files()
cgroup_rm_file()
kernfs_remove_by_name()
kernfs_remove_by_name_ns()
vfs_write() __kernfs_remove()
new_sync_write() kernfs_drain()
kernfs_fop_write_iter() kernfs_drain_open_files()
cgroup_file_write() kernfs_release_file()
pressure_write() cgroup_file_release()
ctx = of->priv;
kfree(ctx);
of->priv = NULL;
cgroup_kn_unlock()
cgroup_kn_lock_live()
cgroup_get(cgrp)
cgroup_kn_unlock()
if (ctx->psi.trigger) // here, trigger uaf for ctx, that is of->priv
The cgroup_rmdir() is protected by the cgroup_mutex, it also safeguards
the memory deallocation of of->priv performed within cgroup_file_release().
However, the operations involving of->priv executed within pressure_write()
are not entirely covered by the protection of cgroup_mutex. Consequently,
if the code in pressure_write(), specifically the section handling the
ctx variable executes after cgroup_file_release() has completed, a uaf
vulnerability involving of->priv is triggered.
Therefore, the issue can be resolved by extending the scope of the
cgroup_mutex lock within pressure_write() to encompass all code paths
involving of->priv, thereby properly synchronizing the race condition
occurring between cgroup_file_release() and pressure_write().
And, if an live kn lock can be successfully acquired while executing
the pressure write operation, it indicates that the cgroup deletion
process has not yet reached its final stage; consequently, the priv
pointer within open_file cannot be NULL. Therefore, the operation to
retrieve the ctx value must be moved to a point *after* the live kn
lock has been successfully acquired.
In another situation, specifically after entering cgroup_kn_lock_live()
but before acquiring cgroup_mutex, there exists a different class of
race condition:
CPU0: write memory.pressure CPU1: write cgroup.pressure=0
=========================== =============================
kernfs_fop_write_iter()
kernfs_get_active_of(of)
pressure_write()
cgroup_kn_lock_live(memory.pressure)
cgroup_tryget(cgrp)
kernfs_break_active_protection(kn)
... blocks on cgroup_mutex
cgroup_pressure_write()
cgroup_kn_lock_live(cgroup.pressure)
cgroup_file_show(memory.pressure, false)
kernfs_show(false)
kernfs_drain_open_files()
cgroup_file_release(of)
kfree(ctx)
of->priv = NULL
cgroup_kn_unlock()
... acquires cgroup_mutex
ctx = of->priv; // may now be NULL
if (ctx->psi.trigger) // NULL dereference
Consequently, there is a possibility that of->priv is NULL, the pressure
write needs to check for this.
Now that the scope of the cgroup_mutex has been expanded, the original
explicit cgroup_get/put operations are no longer necessary, this is
because acquiring/releasing the live kn lock inherently executes a
cgroup get/put operation.

fsnotify: fix inode reference leak in fsnotify_recalc_mask()
fsnotify_recalc_mask() fails to handle the return value of
__fsnotify_recalc_mask(), which may return an inode pointer that needs
to be released via fsnotify_drop_object() when the connector's HAS_IREF
flag transitions from set to cleared.
This manifests as a hung task with the following call trace:

spin_unlock(conn->lock)
/* BUG: return value discarded!

Fix this by deferring the transition true -> false of HAS_IREF flag from
fsnotify_recalc_mask() (Thread A) to fsnotify_put_mark() (thread B). |

net: airoha: fix BQL imbalance in TX path
Fix a possible BQL imbalance in airoha_dev_xmit(), where inflight
packets are accounted only for the AIROHA_NUM_TX_RING netdev TX
queues. The queue index is computed as:
qid = skb_get_queue_mapping(skb) % ARRAY_SIZE(qdma->q_tx)
txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, qid);
However, airoha_qdma_tx_napi_poll() accounts completions across all
netdev TX queues (num_tx_queues), leading to inconsistent BQL
accounting.
Also reset all netdev TX queues in the ndo_stop callback. |

libceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in __ceph_x_decrypt()
In __ceph_x_decrypt(), a part of the buffer p is interpreted as a
ceph_x_encrypt_header, and the magic field of this struct is accessed.
This happens without any guarantee that the buffer is large enough to
hold this struct. The function parameter ciphertext_len represents the
length of the ciphertext to decrypt and is guaranteed to be at most the
remaining size of the allocated buffer p. However, this value is not
necessarily greater than sizeof(ceph_x_encrypt_header). E.g., a message
frame of type FRAME_TAG_AUTH_REPLY_MORE, that is just as long to hold
the ciphertext at its end with a ciphertext_len of 8 or less, can
trigger an out-of-bounds memory access when accessing hdr->magic.
This patch fixes the issue by adding a check to ensure that the
decrypted plaintext in the buffer is large enough to represent at least
the ceph_x_encrypt_header. |

tap: fix stack info leak in tap_ioctl() SIOCGIFHWADDR
In the SIOCGIFHWADDR path, tap_ioctl() copies 16 bytes of an
uninitialised on-stack struct sockaddr_storage to userspace via
ifr_hwaddr, but netif_get_mac_address() only writes sa_family and
dev->addr_len (6 for Ethernet) bytes, leaving sa_data[6..13] uninitialised.
Those 8 trailing bytes leak kernel stack contents; SIOCGIFHWADDR on a
macvtap chardev returns kernel .text and direct-map pointers, defeating
KASLR.
Initialise ss at declaration. |

Revert "net/smc: Introduce TCP ULP support"
This reverts commit d7cd421da9da2cc7b4d25b8537f66db5c8331c40.
As reported by Al Viro, the TCP ULP support for SMC is fundamentally
broken. The implementation attempts to convert an active TCP socket
into an SMC socket by modifying the underlying `struct file`, dentry,
and inode in-place, which violates core VFS invariants that assume
these structures are immutable for an open file, creating a risk of
use after free errors and general system instability.
Given the severity of this design flaw and the fact that cleaner
alternatives (e.g., LD_PRELOAD, BPF) exist for legacy application
transparency, the correct course of action is to remove this feature
entirely. |

RDMA/rxe: Fix iova-to-va conversion for MR page sizes != PAGE_SIZE
The current implementation incorrectly handles memory regions (MRs) with
page sizes different from the system PAGE_SIZE. The core issue is that
rxe_set_page() is called with mr->page_size step increments, but the
page_list stores individual struct page pointers, each representing
PAGE_SIZE of memory.
ib_sg_to_page() has ensured that when i>=1 either
a) SG[i-1].dma_end and SG[i].dma_addr are contiguous
or
b) SG[i-1].dma_end and SG[i].dma_addr are mr->page_size aligned.
This leads to incorrect iova-to-va conversion in scenarios:
1) page_size < PAGE_SIZE (e.g., MR: 4K, system: 64K):
ibmr->iova = 0x181800
sg[0]: dma_addr=0x181800, len=0x800
sg[1]: dma_addr=0x173000, len=0x1000
Access iova = 0x181800 + 0x810 = 0x182010
Expected VA: 0x173010 (second SG, offset 0x10)
Before fix:
- index = (0x182010 >> 12) - (0x181800 >> 12) = 1
- page_offset = 0x182010 & 0xFFF = 0x10
- xarray[1] stores system page base 0x170000
- Resulting VA: 0x170000 + 0x10 = 0x170010 (wrong)
2) page_size > PAGE_SIZE (e.g., MR: 64K, system: 4K):
ibmr->iova = 0x18f800
sg[0]: dma_addr=0x18f800, len=0x800
sg[1]: dma_addr=0x170000, len=0x1000
Access iova = 0x18f800 + 0x810 = 0x190010
Expected VA: 0x170010 (second SG, offset 0x10)
Before fix:
- index = (0x190010 >> 16) - (0x18f800 >> 16) = 1
- page_offset = 0x190010 & 0xFFFF = 0x10
- xarray[1] stores system page for dma_addr 0x170000
- Resulting VA: system page of 0x170000 + 0x10 = 0x170010 (wrong)
Yi Zhang reported a kernel panic[1] years ago related to this defect.
Solution:
1. Replace xarray with pre-allocated rxe_mr_page array for sequential
indexing (all MR page indices are contiguous)
2. Each rxe_mr_page stores both struct page* and offset within the
system page
3. Handle MR page_size != PAGE_SIZE relationships:
- page_size > PAGE_SIZE: Split MR pages into multiple system pages
- page_size <= PAGE_SIZE: Store offset within system page
4. Add boundary checks and compatibility validation
This ensures correct iova-to-va conversion regardless of MR page size
and system PAGE_SIZE relationship, while improving performance through
array-based sequential access.

selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extraneous BUG_ONs. |

iio: frequency: admv1013: fix NULL pointer dereference on str
When device_property_read_string() fails, str is left uninitialized
but the code falls through to strcmp(str, ...), dereferencing a garbage
pointer. Replace manual read/strcmp with
device_property_match_property_string() and consolidate the SE mode
enums into a single sequential enum, mapping to hardware register
values via a switch consistent with other bitfields in the driver.
Several cleanup patches have been applied to this driver recently so
this will need a manual backport. |

Since the enablement of sysfs mode is separeted into two critical regions,
one for sysfs buffer allocation and another for hardware enablement, it's
possible to race with the perf mode. Fix this by double check whether
the perf mode's been used before enabling the hardware in sysfs mode.

[sysfs mode] [perf mode]
tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer()

tmc_etr_enable_hw()
WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) // WARN sicne etr_buf initialized at

spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock)
With this fix, we retain the check for CS_MODE_PERF in get_etr_sysfs_buf.
This ensures we verify whether the perf mode's already running before we
actually allocate the buffer. Then we can save the time of
allocating/freeing the sysfs buffer if race with the perf mode. |

NFS/localio: prevent direct reclaim recursion into NFS via nfs_writepages
LOCALIO is an NFS loopback mount optimization that avoids using the
network for READ, WRITE and COMMIT if the NFS client and server are
determined to be on the same system. But because LOCALIO is still
fundamentally "just NFS loopback mount" it is susceptible to recursion
deadlock via direct reclaim, e.g.: NFS LOCALIO down to XFS and then
back into NFS via nfs_writepages.
Fix LOCALIO's potential for direct reclaim deadlock by ensuring that
all its page cache allocations are done from GFP_NOFS context.
Thanks to Ben Coddington for pointing out commit ad22c7a043c2 ("xfs:
prevent stack overflows from page cache allocation"). |

f2fs: fix fsck inconsistency caused by FGGC of node block
During FGGC node block migration, fsck may incorrectly treat the
migrated node block as fsync-written data.
The reproduction scenario:
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# seq 1 2048 | xargs -n 1 ./test_sync // write inline inode and sync
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# rm -f 1
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# sync
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# f2fs_io gc_range // move data block in sync mode and not write CP
SPO, "fsck --dry-run" find inode has already checkpointed but still
with DENT_BIT_SHIFT set
The root cause is that GC does not clear the dentry mark and fsync mark
during node block migration, leading fsck to misinterpret them as
user-issued fsync writes.
In BGGC mode, node block migration is handled by f2fs_sync_node_pages(),
which guarantees the dentry and fsync marks are cleared before writing.
This patch move the set/clear of the fsync|dentry marks into
__write_node_folio to make the logic clearer, and ensures the
fsync|dentry mark is cleared in FGGC. |

writing the data, it may overwrite other bit fields as well, which
confuses the operation completely, as spotted by fuzzing.
Fix it by covering runtime.oss.trigger bit fled also with the existing
params_lock mutex in both snd_pcm_oss_get_trigger() and
