======================================================
According to commit "vfs: parse: deal with zero length string value",
kernel will set the param->string to null pointer in vfs_parse_fs_string()
if fs string has zero length.
Yet the problem is that, hugetlbfs_parse_param() will dereference the
param->string, without checking whether it is a null pointer. To be more
specific, if hugetlbfs_parse_param() parses an illegal mount parameter,
such as "size=,", kernel will constructs struct fs_parameter with null
pointer in vfs_parse_fs_string(), then passes this struct fs_parameter to
hugetlbfs_parse_param(), which triggers the above null-ptr-deref bug.
This patch solves it by adding sanity check on param->string
in hugetlbfs_parse_param().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: fix potential memory leak in brcmf_netdev_start_xmit()
The brcmf_netdev_start_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of pskb_expand_head() fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.
Compile tested only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: processor: idle: Check acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() return value
The return value of acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() could be NULL, which would
cause a NULL pointer dereference to occur in acpi_device_hid().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: fix potential use-after-free in jbd2_fc_wait_bufs
In 'jbd2_fc_wait_bufs' use 'bh' after put buffer head reference count
which may lead to use-after-free.
So judge buffer if uptodate before put buffer head reference count.

This happens because sata_pmp_init_links() initialize link->pmp up to
SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS while em_priv is declared as 8 elements array.
I can't find the maximum Enclosure Management ports specified in AHCI
spec v1.3.1, but "12.2.1 LED message type" states that "Port Multiplier
Information" can utilize 4 bits, which implies it can support up to 16
ports. Hence, use SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS as EM_MAX_SLOTS to resolve the
issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: tables: FPDT: Don't call acpi_os_map_memory() on invalid phys address
On a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600 model) there is a FPDT table
which contains invalid physical addresses, with high bits set which fall
outside the range of the CPU-s supported physical address range.
Calling acpi_os_map_memory() on such an invalid phys address leads to
the below WARN_ON in ioremap triggering resulting in an oops/stacktrace.
Add code to verify the physical address before calling acpi_os_map_memory()
to fix / avoid the oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix potential out of bound read in ext4_fc_replay_scan()
For scan loop must ensure that at least EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN space. If remain
space less than EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN which will lead to out of bound read
when mounting corrupt file system image.
ADD_RANGE/HEAD/TAIL is needed to add extra check when do journal scan, as this
three tags will read data during scan, tag length couldn't less than data length
which will read.

of_get_next_parent() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
This function only calls of_node_put() in normal path,
missing it in the error path.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
