In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix data corruption after failed write
When buffered write fails to copy data into underlying page cache page,
ocfs2_write_end_nolock() just zeroes out and dirties the page. This can
leave dirty page beyond EOF and if page writeback tries to write this page
before write succeeds and expands i_size, page gets into inconsistent
state where page dirty bit is clear but buffer dirty bits stay set
resulting in page data never getting written and so data copied to the
page is lost. Fix the problem by invalidating page beyond EOF after
failed write.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vp_vdpa: fix the crash in hot unplug with vp_vdpa
While unplugging the vp_vdpa device, it triggers a kernel panic
The root cause is: vdpa_mgmtdev_unregister() will accesses modern
devices which will cause a use after free.
So need to change the sequence in vp_vdpa_remove

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: don't replace page in rq_pages if it's a continuation of last page
The splice read calls nfsd_splice_actor to put the pages containing file
data into the svc_rqst->rq_pages array. It's possible however to get a
splice result that only has a partial page at the end, if (e.g.) the
filesystem hands back a short read that doesn't cover the whole page.
nfsd_splice_actor will plop the partial page into its rq_pages array and
return. Then later, when nfsd_splice_actor is called again, the
remainder of the page may end up being filled out. At this point,
nfsd_splice_actor will put the page into the array _again_ corrupting
the reply. If this is done enough times, rq_next_page will overrun the
array and corrupt the trailing fields -- the rq_respages and
rq_next_page pointers themselves.
If we've already added the page to the array in the last pass, don't add
it to the array a second time when dealing with a splice continuation.
This was originally handled properly in nfsd_splice_actor, but commit
91e23b1c3982 ("NFSD: Clean up nfsd_splice_actor()") removed the check
for it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/active: Fix misuse of non-idle barriers as fence trackers
Users reported oopses on list corruptions when using i915 perf with a
number of concurrently running graphics applications. Root cause analysis
pointed at an issue in barrier processing code -- a race among perf open /
close replacing active barriers with perf requests on kernel context and
concurrent barrier preallocate / acquire operations performed during user
context first pin / last unpin.
When adding a request to a composite tracker, we try to reuse an existing
fence tracker, already allocated and registered with that composite. The
tracker we obtain may already track another fence, may be an idle barrier,
or an active barrier.
If the tracker we get occurs a non-idle barrier then we try to delete that
barrier from a list of barrier tasks it belongs to. However, while doing
that we don't respect return value from a function that performs the
barrier deletion. Should the deletion ever fail, we would end up reusing
the tracker still registered as a barrier task. Since the same structure
field is reused with both fence callback lists and barrier tasks list,
list corruptions would likely occur.
Barriers are now deleted from a barrier tasks list by temporarily removing
the list content, traversing that content with skip over the node to be
deleted, then populating the list back with the modified content. Should
that intentionally racy concurrent deletion attempts be not serialized,
one or more of those may fail because of the list being temporary empty.
Related code that ignores the results of barrier deletion was initially
introduced in v5.4 by commit d8af05ff38ae ("drm/i915: Allow sharing the
idle-barrier from other kernel requests"). However, all users of the
barrier deletion routine were apparently serialized at that time, then the
issue didn't exhibit itself. Results of git bisect with help of a newly
developed igt@gem_barrier_race@remote-request IGT test indicate that list
corruptions might start to appear after commit 311770173fac ("drm/i915/gt:
Schedule request retirement when timeline idles"), introduced in v5.5.
Respect results of barrier deletion attempts -- mark the barrier as idle
only if successfully deleted from the list. Then, before proceeding with
setting our fence as the one currently tracked, make sure that the tracker
we've got is not a non-idle barrier. If that check fails then don't use
that tracker but go back and try to acquire a new, usable one.
v3: use unlikely() to document what outcome we expect (Andi),
- fix bad grammar in commit description.
v2: no code changes,
- blame commit 311770173fac ("drm/i915/gt: Schedule request retirement
when timeline idles"), v5.5, not commit d8af05ff38ae ("drm/i915: Allow
sharing the idle-barrier from other kernel requests"), v5.4,
- reword commit description.

The problem is that the inode contains an xattr entry with ea_inum of 15
when cleaning up an orphan inode <15>. When evict inode <15>, the reference
counting of the corresponding EA inode is decreased. When EA inode <15> is
found by find_inode_fast() in __ext4_iget(), it is found that the EA inode
holds the I_FREEING flag and waits for the EA inode to complete deletion.
As a result, when inode <15> is being deleted, we wait for inode <15> to
complete the deletion, resulting in an infinite loop and triggering Hung
Task. To solve this problem, we only need to check whether the ino of EA
inode and parent is the same before getting EA inode.

drm/amdkfd: Fix an illegal memory access
In the kfd_wait_on_events() function, the kfd_event_waiter structure is
allocated by alloc_event_waiters(), but the event field of the waiter
structure is not initialized; When copy_from_user() fails in the
kfd_wait_on_events() function, it will enter exception handling to
release the previously allocated memory of the waiter structure;
Due to the event field of the waiters structure being accessed
in the free_waiters() function, this results in illegal memory access
and system crash, here is the crash log:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: PPTT: Fix to avoid sleep in the atomic context when PPTT is absent
Commit 0c80f9e165f8 ("ACPI: PPTT: Leave the table mapped for the runtime usage")
enabled to map PPTT once on the first invocation of acpi_get_pptt() and
never unmapped the same allowing it to be used at runtime with out the
hassle of mapping and unmapping the table. This was needed to fetch LLC
information from the PPTT in the cpuhotplug path which is executed in
the atomic context as the acpi_get_table() might sleep waiting for a
mutex.
However it missed to handle the case when there is no PPTT on the system
which results in acpi_get_pptt() being called from all the secondary
CPUs attempting to fetch the LLC information in the atomic context
without knowing the absence of PPTT resulting in the splat like below:
