The fscache_volume in cache->volumes must not have been freed yet, but its
reference count may be 0. So use the new fscache_try_get_volume() helper
function try to get its reference count.
If the reference count of fscache_volume is 0, fscache_put_volume() is
freeing it, so wait for it to be removed from cache->volumes.
If its reference count is not 0, call cachefiles_withdraw_volume() with
reference count protection to avoid the above issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant
When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is
a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi
and ks8851_irq:

This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on
a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.
Now use spin_(un)lock_bh for TX queue related locking to avoid execution
of softirq work synchronously that would lead to a deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: fix null deref on system suspend entry
When system enters suspend with an active stream, SOF core
calls hw_params_upon_resume(). On Intel platforms with HDA DMA used
to manage the link DMA, this leads to call chain of
hda_dsp_set_hw_params_upon_resume()
-> hda_dsp_dais_suspend()
-> hda_dai_suspend()
-> hda_ipc4_post_trigger()
A bug is hit in hda_dai_suspend() as hda_link_dma_cleanup() is run first,
which clears hext_stream->link_substream, and then hda_ipc4_post_trigger()
is called with a NULL snd_pcm_substream pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: cs_dsp: Prevent buffer overrun when processing V2 alg headers
Check that all fields of a V2 algorithm header fit into the available
firmware data buffer.
The wmfw V2 format introduced variable-length strings in the algorithm
block header. This means the overall header length is variable, and the
position of most fields varies depending on the length of the string
fields. Each field must be checked to ensure that it does not overflow
the firmware data buffer.
As this ia bugfix patch, the fixes avoid making any significant change to
the existing code. This makes it easier to review and less likely to
introduce new bugs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: cs_dsp: Fix overflow checking of wmfw header
Fix the checking that firmware file buffer is large enough for the
wmfw header, to prevent overrunning the buffer.
The original code tested that the firmware data buffer contained
enough bytes for the sums of the size of the structs
wmfw_header + wmfw_adsp1_sizes + wmfw_footer
But wmfw_adsp1_sizes is only used on ADSP1 firmware. For ADSP2 and
Halo Core the equivalent struct is wmfw_adsp2_sizes, which is
4 bytes longer. So the length check didn't guarantee that there
are enough bytes in the firmware buffer for a header with
wmfw_adsp2_sizes.
This patch splits the length check into three separate parts. Each
of the wmfw_header, wmfw_adsp?_sizes and wmfw_footer are checked
separately before they are used.

The ct may be dropped if a clash has been resolved but is still passed to
the tcf_ct_flow_table_process_conn function for further usage. This issue
can be fixed by retrieving ct from skb again after confirming conntrack.

The issue occurs in start_dl_timer(), which increments the task_struct
reference count and sets a timer. The timer callback, dl_task_timer,
is supposed to decrement the reference count upon expiration. However,
if enqueue_task_dl() is called before the timer expires and cancels it,
the reference count is not decremented, leading to the leak.
This patch fixes the reference leak by ensuring the task_struct
reference count is properly decremented when the timer is canceled.
