Fix by converting cq_lock to a spinlock. All operations under the new
lock are safe except freeing the DMA memory, which may use vunmap(). Fix
by requesting a contiguous physical memory for the DMA mapping.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4/pNFS: Fix a race to wake on NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN
We found a few different systems hung up in writeback waiting on the same
page lock, and one task waiting on the NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN bit in
pnfs_update_layout(), however the pnfs_layout_hdr's plh_outstanding count
was zero.
It seems most likely that this is another race between the waiter and waker
similar to commit ed0172af5d6f ("SUNRPC: Fix a race to wake a sync task").
Fix it up by applying the advised barrier.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: appletb-kbd: fix memory corruption of input_handler_list
In appletb_kbd_probe an input handler is initialised and then registered
with input core through input_register_handler(). When this happens input
core will add the input handler (specifically its node) to the global
input_handler_list. The input_handler_list is central to the functionality
of input core and is traversed in various places in input core. An example
of this is when a new input device is plugged in and gets registered with
input core.
The input_handler in probe is allocated as device managed memory. If a
probe failure occurs after input_register_handler() the input_handler
memory is freed, yet it will remain in the input_handler_list. This
effectively means the input_handler_list contains a dangling pointer
to data belonging to a freed input handler.
This causes an issue when any other input device is plugged in - in my
case I had an old PixArt HP USB optical mouse and I decided to
plug it in after a failure occurred after input_register_handler().
This lead to the registration of this input device via
input_register_device which involves traversing over every handler
in the corrupted input_handler_list and calling input_attach_handler(),
giving each handler a chance to bind to newly registered device.
The core of this bug is a UAF which causes memory corruption of
input_handler_list and to fix it we must ensure the input handler is
unregistered from input core, this is done through
input_unregister_handler().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: gpio: Fix the out-of-bounds access to drvdata::gpiods
drvdata::gpiods is supposed to hold an array of 'gpio_desc' pointers. But
the memory is allocated for only one pointer. This will lead to
out-of-bounds access later in the code if 'config::ngpios' is > 1. So
fix the code to allocate enough memory to hold 'config::ngpios' of GPIO
descriptors.
While at it, also move the check for memory allocation failure to be below
the allocation to make it more readable.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix warning when reconnecting channel
When reconnecting a channel in smb2_reconnect_server(), a dummy tcon
is passed down to smb2_reconnect() with ->query_interface
uninitialized, so we can't call queue_delayed_work() on it.
Fix the following warning by ensuring that we're queueing the delayed
worker from correct tcon.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: cs40l50-vibra - fix potential NULL dereference in cs40l50_upload_owt()
The cs40l50_upload_owt() function allocates memory via kmalloc()
without checking for allocation failure, which could lead to a
NULL pointer dereference.
Return -ENOMEM in case allocation fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix iteration of extrefs during log replay
At __inode_add_ref() when processing extrefs, if we jump into the next
label we have an undefined value of victim_name.len, since we haven't
initialized it before we did the goto. This results in an invalid memory
access in the next iteration of the loop since victim_name.len was not
initialized to the length of the name of the current extref.
Fix this by initializing victim_name.len with the current extref's name
length.

According to this report,there is a read/write data-race because
m->private is accessible to multiple CPUs. To fix this, instead of
allocating the heap in proc_vmalloc_init() and passing the heap address to
m->private, vmalloc_info_show() should allocate the heap.

net: usb: lan78xx: fix WARN in __netif_napi_del_locked on disconnect
Remove redundant netif_napi_del() call from disconnect path.
A WARN may be triggered in __netif_napi_del_locked() during USB device
disconnect:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at net/core/dev.c:7417 __netif_napi_del_locked+0x2b4/0x350
This happens because netif_napi_del() is called in the disconnect path while
NAPI is still enabled. However, it is not necessary to call netif_napi_del()
explicitly, since unregister_netdev() will handle NAPI teardown automatically
and safely. Removing the redundant call avoids triggering the warning.
