In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: stm32f7: Do not prepare/unprepare clock during runtime suspend/resume
In case there is any sort of clock controller attached to this I2C bus
controller, for example Versaclock or even an AIC32x4 I2C codec, then
an I2C transfer triggered from the clock controller clk_ops .prepare
callback may trigger a deadlock on drivers/clk/clk.c prepare_lock mutex.
This is because the clock controller first grabs the prepare_lock mutex
and then performs the prepare operation, including its I2C access. The
I2C access resumes this I2C bus controller via .runtime_resume callback,
which calls clk_prepare_enable(), which attempts to grab the prepare_lock
mutex again and deadlocks.
Since the clock are already prepared since probe() and unprepared in
remove(), use simple clk_enable()/clk_disable() calls to enable and
disable the clock on runtime suspend and resume, to avoid hitting the
prepare_lock mutex.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: reserve space for inline xattr before attaching reflink tree
One of our customers reported a crash and a corrupted ocfs2 filesystem.
The crash was due to the detection of corruption. Upon troubleshooting,
the fsck -fn output showed the below corruption
[EXTENT_LIST_FREE] Extent list in owner 33080590 claims 230 as the next free chain record,
but fsck believes the largest valid value is 227. Clamp the next record value? n
The stat output from the debugfs.ocfs2 showed the following corruption
where the "Next Free Rec:" had overshot the "Count:" in the root metadata
block.

The issue was in the reflink workfow while reserving space for inline
xattr. The problematic function is ocfs2_reflink_xattr_inline(). By the
time this function is called the reflink tree is already recreated at the
destination inode from the source inode. At this point, this function
reserves space for inline xattrs at the destination inode without even
checking if there is space at the root metadata block. It simply reduces
the l_count from 243 to 227 thereby making space of 256 bytes for inline
xattr whereas the inode already has extents beyond this index (in this
case up to 230), thereby causing corruption.
The fix for this is to reserve space for inline metadata at the destination
inode before the reflink tree gets recreated. The customer has verified the
fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: stop waiting for space when jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns error
In __jbd2_log_wait_for_space(), we might call jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()
to recover some journal space. But if an error occurs while executing
jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() (e.g., an EIO), we don't stop waiting for free
space right away, we try other branches, and if j_committing_transaction
is NULL (i.e., the tid is 0), we will get the following complain:
============================================
JBD2: I/O error when updating journal superblock for sdd-8.
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: needed 256 blocks and only had 217 space available
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: no way to get more journal space in sdd-8

============================================
So only if jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns 1, i.e., there is nothing to
clean up at the moment, continue to try to reclaim free space in other ways.
Note that this fix relies on commit 6f6a6fda2945 ("jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt
when updating journal superblock fails") to make jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail
return the correct error code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount
Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super
The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer,
which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should
guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi).
When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3,
where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing
a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function
that ultimately re-arms the timer,
leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called.
Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: i2c: ar0521: Use cansleep version of gpiod_set_value()
If we use GPIO reset from I2C port expander, we must use *_cansleep()
variant of GPIO functions.
This was not done in ar0521_power_on()/ar0521_power_off() functions.
Let's fix that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: bcm2835: Fix timeout during suspend mode
During noirq suspend phase the Raspberry Pi power driver suffer of
firmware property timeouts. The reason is that the IRQ of the underlying
BCM2835 mailbox is disabled and rpi_firmware_property_list() will always
run into a timeout [1].
Since the VideoCore side isn't consider as a wakeup source, set the
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag for the mailbox IRQ in order to keep it enabled
during suspend-resume cycle.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb: fix memfd_pin_folios free_huge_pages leak
memfd_pin_folios followed by unpin_folios fails to restore free_huge_pages
if the pages were not already faulted in, because the folio refcount for
pages created by memfd_alloc_folio never goes to 0. memfd_pin_folios
needs another folio_put to undo the folio_try_get below:
memfd_alloc_folio()
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_nodemask()
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_node_exact()
folio_ref_unfreeze(folio, 1); ; adds 1 refcount
folio_try_get() ; adds 1 refcount
hugetlb_add_to_page_cache() ; adds 512 refcount (on x86)
With the fix, after memfd_pin_folios + unpin_folios, the refcount for the
(unfaulted) page is 512, which is correct, as the refcount for a faulted
unpinned page is 513.
