In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcache: avoid journal no-space deadlock by reserving 1 journal bucket
The journal no-space deadlock was reported time to time. Such deadlock
can happen in the following situation.
When all journal buckets are fully filled by active jset with heavy
write I/O load, the cache set registration (after a reboot) will load
all active jsets and inserting them into the btree again (which is
called journal replay). If a journaled bkey is inserted into a btree
node and results btree node split, new journal request might be
triggered. For example, the btree grows one more level after the node
split, then the root node record in cache device super block will be
upgrade by bch_journal_meta() from bch_btree_set_root(). But there is no
space in journal buckets, the journal replay has to wait for new journal
bucket to be reclaimed after at least one journal bucket replayed. This
is one example that how the journal no-space deadlock happens.
The solution to avoid the deadlock is to reserve 1 journal bucket in
run time, and only permit the reserved journal bucket to be used during
cache set registration procedure for things like journal replay. Then
the journal space will never be fully filled, there is no chance for
journal no-space deadlock to happen anymore.
This patch adds a new member "bool do_reserve" in struct journal, it is
inititalized to 0 (false) when struct journal is allocated, and set to
1 (true) by bch_journal_space_reserve() when all initialization done in
run_cache_set(). In the run time when journal_reclaim() tries to
allocate a new journal bucket, free_journal_buckets() is called to check
whether there are enough free journal buckets to use. If there is only
1 free journal bucket and journal->do_reserve is 1 (true), the last
bucket is reserved and free_journal_buckets() will return 0 to indicate
no free journal bucket. Then journal_reclaim() will give up, and try
next time to see whetheer there is free journal bucket to allocate. By
this method, there is always 1 jouranl bucket reserved in run time.
During the cache set registration, journal->do_reserve is 0 (false), so
the reserved journal bucket can be used to avoid the no-space deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: fix use-after-free by removing a non-RCU wcid pointer
Fixes an issue caught by KASAN about use-after-free in mt76_txq_schedule
by protecting mtxq->wcid with rcu_lock between mt76_txq_schedule and
sta_info_[alloc, free].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: usb: host: Fix deadlock in oxu_bus_suspend()
There is a deadlock in oxu_bus_suspend(), which is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| timer_action()
oxu_bus_suspend() | mod_timer()
spin_lock_irq() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | oxu_watchdog()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irq() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold oxu->lock in position (1) of thread 1, and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need oxu->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
oxu_bus_suspend() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irq(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Don't hold the layoutget locks across multiple RPC calls
When doing layoutget as part of the open() compound, we have to be
careful to release the layout locks before we can call any further RPC
calls, such as setattr(). The reason is that those calls could trigger
a recall, which could deadlock.

Syzbot triggers two WARNs in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr and

if type is DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE or DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE_READ,
it invokes WARN_ON if blkaddr is not in the right range.
