The problem can be reproduced with the mmtests config
config-workload-stressng-mmap. It does not always happen and when it
triggers is variable but it has happened on multiple machines.
The intent of commit b653db77350c patch was to avoid the case where
PG_private is clear but folio->private is not-NULL. However, THP tail
pages uses page->private for "swp_entry_t if folio_test_swapcache()" as
stated in the documentation for struct folio. This patch only clobbers
page->private for tail pages if the head page was not in swapcache and
warns once if page->private had an unexpected value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Fix locking in pdc_iodc_print() firmware call
Utilize pdc_lock spinlock to protect parallel modifications of the
iodc_dbuf[] buffer, check length to prevent buffer overflow of
iodc_dbuf[], drop the iodc_retbuf[] buffer and fix some wrong
indentings.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: replace WARN_ONs by nilfs_error for checkpoint acquisition failure
If creation or finalization of a checkpoint fails due to anomalies in the
checkpoint metadata on disk, a kernel warning is generated.
This patch replaces the WARN_ONs by nilfs_error, so that a kernel, booted
with panic_on_warn, does not panic. A nilfs_error is appropriate here to
handle the abnormal filesystem condition.
This also replaces the detected error codes with an I/O error so that
neither of the internal error codes is returned to callers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/radeon: Fix PCI device refcount leak in radeon_atrm_get_bios()
As comment of pci_get_class() says, it returns a pci_device with its
refcount increased and decreased the refcount for the input parameter
@from if it is not NULL.
If we break the loop in radeon_atrm_get_bios() with 'pdev' not NULL, we
need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount. Add the missing
pci_dev_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: mxm-wmi: fix memleak in mxm_wmi_call_mx[ds|mx]()
The ACPI buffer memory (out.pointer) returned by wmi_evaluate_method()
is not freed after the call, so it leads to memory leak.
The method results in ACPI buffer is not used, so just pass NULL to
wmi_evaluate_method() which fixes the memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/smmuv3: Fix hotplug callback leak in arm_smmu_pmu_init()
arm_smmu_pmu_init() won't remove the callback added by
cpuhp_setup_state_multi() when platform_driver_register() failed. Remove
the callback by cpuhp_remove_multi_state() in fail path.
Similar to the handling of arm_ccn_init() in commit 26242b330093 ("bus:
arm-ccn: Prevent hotplug callback leak")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/fonts: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for get_default_font
Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing
significant bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in lib/fonts/fonts.c:139:20
left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int'

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix potential memory leak in ext4_fc_record_regions()
As krealloc may return NULL, in this case 'state->fc_regions' may not be
freed by krealloc, but 'state->fc_regions' already set NULL. Then will
lead to 'state->fc_regions' memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix a potential memory leak in rtw_init_cmd_priv()
In rtw_init_cmd_priv(), if `pcmdpriv->rsp_allocated_buf` is allocated
in failure, then `pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf` will be not properly
released. Besides, considering there are only two error paths and the
first one can directly return, so we do not need implicitly jump to the
`exit` tag to execute the error handler.
So this patch added `kfree(pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf);` on the error
path to release the resource and simplified the return logic of
rtw_init_cmd_priv(). As there is no proper device to test with, no runtime
testing was performed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_hid: fix refcount leak on error path
When failing to allocate report_desc, opts->refcnt has already been
incremented so it needs to be decremented to avoid leaving the options
structure permanently locked.
