In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/fsl_rio: Fix refcount leak in fsl_rio_setup
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/rtas: Keep MSR[RI] set when calling RTAS
RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).
The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.
Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:
watchdog: CPU 24 Hard LOCKUP

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.
RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":
R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
0 when in the critical regions.
Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/base/node.c: fix compaction sysfs file leak
Compaction sysfs file is created via compaction_register_node in
register_node. But we forgot to remove it in unregister_node. Thus
compaction sysfs file is leaked. Using compaction_unregister_node to fix
this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: renesas: core: Fix possible null-ptr-deref in sh_pfc_map_resources()
It will cause null-ptr-deref when using 'res', if platform_get_resource()
returns NULL, so move using 'res' after devm_ioremap_resource() that
will check it to avoid null-ptr-deref.
And use devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() to simplify code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on inline_dots inode
As Wenqing reported in bugzilla:

The root cause is for special file: e.g. character, block, fifo or
socket file, f2fs doesn't assign address space operations pointer array
for mapping->a_ops field, so, in a fuzzed image, if inline_dots flag was
tagged in special file, during lookup(), when f2fs runs into
__recover_dot_dentries(), it will cause NULL pointer access once
f2fs_add_regular_entry() calls a_ops->set_dirty_page().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hfi1: Prevent panic when SDMA is disabled
If the hfi1 module is loaded with HFI1_CAP_SDMA off, a call to
hfi1_write_iter() will dereference a NULL pointer and panic. A typical
stack frame is:
sdma_select_user_engine [hfi1]
hfi1_user_sdma_process_request [hfi1]
hfi1_write_iter [hfi1]
do_iter_readv_writev
do_iter_write
vfs_writev
do_writev
do_syscall_64
The fix is to test for SDMA in hfi1_write_iter() and fail the I/O with
EINVAL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: gpio-keys - cancel delayed work only in case of GPIO
gpio_keys module can either accept gpios or interrupts. The module
initializes delayed work in case of gpios only and is only used if
debounce timer is not used, so make sure cancel_delayed_work_sync()
is called only when its gpio-backed and debounce_use_hrtimer is false.
This fixes the issue seen below when the gpio_keys module is unloaded and
an interrupt pin is used instead of GPIO:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hfi1: Prevent use of lock before it is initialized
If there is a failure during probe of hfi1 before the sdma_map_lock is
initialized, the call to hfi1_free_devdata() will attempt to use a lock
that has not been initialized. If the locking correctness validator is on
then an INFO message and stack trace resembling the following may be seen:
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
turning off the locking correctness validator.

The use of sdma_map_lock in sdma_clean() is for freeing the sdma_map
memory, and sdma_map is not allocated/initialized until after
sdma_map_lock has been initialized. This code only needs to be run if
sdma_map is not NULL, and so checking for that condition will avoid trying
to use the lock before it is initialized.
