net: fix NULL pointer dereference in l3mdev_l3_rcv
When delete l3s ipvlan:
ip link del link eth0 ipvlan1 type ipvlan mode l3s
This may cause a null pointer dereference:
Call trace:

This is because l3mdev_l3_rcv() visit dev->l3mdev_ops after
ipvlan_l3s_unregister() assign the dev->l3mdev_ops to NULL. The process
like this:
(CPU1) | (CPU2)
l3mdev_l3_rcv() |
check dev->priv_flags: |
master = skb->dev; |
|
| ipvlan_l3s_unregister()
| set dev->priv_flags
| dev->l3mdev_ops = NULL;
|
visit master->l3mdev_ops |
To avoid this by do not set dev->l3mdev_ops when unregister l3s ipvlan.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmvnic: Use kernel helpers for hex dumps
Previously, when the driver was printing hex dumps, the buffer was cast
to an 8 byte long and printed using string formatters. If the buffer
size was not a multiple of 8 then a read buffer overflow was possible.
Therefore, create a new ibmvnic function that loops over a buffer and
calls hex_dump_to_buffer instead.
This patch address KASAN reports like the one below:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode
Following operations can trigger a warning[1]:
ip netns add ns1
ip netns exec ns1 ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-rr
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev bond0 xdp obj af_xdp_kern.o sec xdp
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set bond0 type bond mode broadcast
ip netns del ns1
When delete the namespace, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called to remove xdp
program on bond dev, and bond_xdp_set() will check the bond mode. If bond
mode is changed after attaching xdp program, the warning may occur.
Some bond modes (broadcast, etc.) do not support native xdp. Set bond mode
with xdp program attached is not good. Add check for xdp program when set
bond mode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: sja1105: fix kasan out-of-bounds warning in sja1105_table_delete_entry()
There are actually 2 problems:
- deleting the last element doesn't require the memmove of elements
[i + 1, end) over it. Actually, element i+1 is out of bounds.
- The memmove itself should move size - i - 1 elements, because the last
element is out of bounds.
The out-of-bounds element still remains out of bounds after being
accessed, so the problem is only that we touch it, not that it becomes
in active use. But I suppose it can lead to issues if the out-of-bounds
element is part of an unmapped page.

RDMA/core: Don't expose hw_counters outside of init net namespace
Commit 467f432a521a ("RDMA/core: Split port and device counter sysfs

namespaces. It didn't expose them fully, as an attempt to read any of
those counters leads to a crash like this one:

The problem can be reproduced using the following steps:
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash
cat /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters/*
The panic occurs because of casting the device pointer into an
ib_device pointer using container_of() in hw_stat_device_show() is
wrong and leads to a memory corruption.
However the real problem is that hw counters should never been exposed
outside of the non-init net namespace.
Fix this by saving the index of the corresponding attribute group
(it might be 1 or 2 depending on the presence of driver-specific
attributes) and zeroing the pointer to hw_counters group for compat
devices during the initialization.
With this fix applied hw_counters are not available in a non-init
net namespace:
find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ -name hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/1/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/2/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash
find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ -name hw_counters

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm/pat: Fix VM_PAT handling when fork() fails in copy_page_range()
If track_pfn_copy() fails, we already added the dst VMA to the maple
tree. As fork() fails, we'll cleanup the maple tree, and stumble over
the dst VMA for which we neither performed any reservation nor copied
any page tables.
Consequently untrack_pfn() will see VM_PAT and try obtaining the
PAT information from the page table -- which fails because the page
table was not copied.
The easiest fix would be to simply clear the VM_PAT flag of the dst VMA
if track_pfn_copy() fails. However, the whole thing is about "simply"
clearing the VM_PAT flag is shaky as well: if we passed track_pfn_copy()
and performed a reservation, but copying the page tables fails, we'll
simply clear the VM_PAT flag, not properly undoing the reservation ...
which is also wrong.
So let's fix it properly: set the VM_PAT flag only if the reservation
succeeded (leaving it clear initially), and undo the reservation if
anything goes wrong while copying the page tables: clearing the VM_PAT
flag after undoing the reservation.
Note that any copied page table entries will get zapped when the VMA will
get removed later, after copy_page_range() succeeded; as VM_PAT is not set
then, we won't try cleaning VM_PAT up once more and untrack_pfn() will be
happy. Note that leaving these page tables in place without a reservation
is not a problem, as we are aborting fork(); this process will never run.
A reproducer can trigger this usually at the first try:

Likely this case was missed in:

Keep the documentation of these functions in include/linux/pgtable.h,
one place is more than sufficient -- we should clean that up for the other
functions like track_pfn_remap/untrack_pfn separately.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: brcmstb: Fix error path after a call to regulator_bulk_get()
If the regulator_bulk_get() returns an error and no regulators
are created, we need to set their number to zero.
If we don't do this and the PCIe link up fails, a call to the
regulator_bulk_free() will result in a kernel panic.
While at it, print the error value, as we cannot return an error
upwards as the kernel will WARN() on an error from add_bus().
