wifi: mac80211: mesh: Fix leak of mesh_preq_queue objects
The hwmp code use objects of type mesh_preq_queue, added to a list in
ieee80211_if_mesh, to keep track of mpath we need to resolve. If the mpath
gets deleted, ex mesh interface is removed, the entries in that list will
never get cleaned. Fix this by flushing all corresponding items of the
preq_queue in mesh_path_flush_pending().
This should take care of KASAN reports like this:

ocfs2_write_begin_nolock. Then another thread call fallocate to puch a
hole at one of the unwritten extent. The extent at cpos was removed by
ocfs2_remove_extent(). At end io worker thread, ocfs2_search_extent_list
found there is no such extent at the cpos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: Handle TD clearing for multiple streams case
When multiple streams are in use, multiple TDs might be in flight when
an endpoint is stopped. We need to issue a Set TR Dequeue Pointer for
each, to ensure everything is reset properly and the caches cleared.
Change the logic so that any N>1 TDs found active for different streams
are deferred until after the first one is processed, calling
xhci_invalidate_cancelled_tds() again from xhci_handle_cmd_set_deq() to
queue another command until we are done with all of them. Also change
the error/"should never happen" paths to ensure we at least clear any
affected TDs, even if we can't issue a command to clear the hardware
cache, and complain loudly with an xhci_warn() if this ever happens.
This problem case dates back to commit e9df17eb1408 ("USB: xhci: Correct
assumptions about number of rings per endpoint.") early on in the XHCI
driver's life, when stream support was first added.
It was then identified but not fixed nor made into a warning in commit
674f8438c121 ("xhci: split handling halted endpoints into two steps"),
which added a FIXME comment for the problem case (without materially
changing the behavior as far as I can tell, though the new logic made
the problem more obvious).
Then later, in commit 94f339147fc3 ("xhci: Fix failure to give back some
cached cancelled URBs."), it was acknowledged again.
[Mathias: commit 94f339147fc3 ("xhci: Fix failure to give back some cached
cancelled URBs.") was a targeted regression fix to the previously mentioned
patch. Users reported issues with usb stuck after unmounting/disconnecting
UAS devices. This rolled back the TD clearing of multiple streams to its
original state.]
Apparently the commit author was aware of the problem (yet still chose
to submit it): It was still mentioned as a FIXME, an xhci_dbg() was
added to log the problem condition, and the remaining issue was mentioned
in the commit description. The choice of making the log type xhci_dbg()
for what is, at this point, a completely unhandled and known broken
condition is puzzling and unfortunate, as it guarantees that no actual
users would see the log in production, thereby making it nigh
undebuggable (indeed, even if you turn on DEBUG, the message doesn't
really hint at there being a problem at all).
It took me *months* of random xHC crashes to finally find a reliable
repro and be able to do a deep dive debug session, which could all have
been avoided had this unhandled, broken condition been actually reported
with a warning, as it should have been as a bug intentionally left in
unfixed (never mind that it shouldn't have been left in at all).
> Another fix to solve clearing the caches of all stream rings with
> cancelled TDs is needed, but not as urgent.
3 years after that statement and 14 years after the original bug was
introduced, I think it's finally time to fix it. And maybe next time
let's not leave bugs unfixed (that are actually worse than the original
bug), and let's actually get people to review kernel commits please.
Fixes xHC crashes and IOMMU faults with UAS devices when handling
errors/faults. Easiest repro is to use `hdparm` to mark an early sector
(e.g. 1024) on a disk as bad, then `cat /dev/sdX > /dev/null` in a loop.
At least in the case of JMicron controllers, the read errors end up
having to cancel two TDs (for two queued requests to different streams)
and the one that didn't get cleared properly ends up faulting the xHC
entirely when it tries to access DMA pages that have since been unmapped,
referred to by the stale TDs. This normally happens quickly (after two
or three loops). After this fix, I left the `cat` in a loop running
overnight and experienced no xHC failures, with all read errors
recovered properly. Repro'd and tested on an Apple M1 Mac Mini
(dwc3 host).
On systems without an IOMMU, this bug would instead silently corrupt
freed memory, making this a

wifi: mac80211: Fix deadlock in ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup()
The ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() function takes sta->ps_lock to

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Try to fix random segmentation faults in package builds
PA-RISC systems with PA8800 and PA8900 processors have had problems
with random segmentation faults for many years. Systems with earlier
processors are much more stable.
Systems with PA8800 and PA8900 processors have a large L2 cache which
needs per page flushing for decent performance when a large range is
flushed. The combined cache in these systems is also more sensitive to
non-equivalent aliases than the caches in earlier systems.
The majority of random segmentation faults that I have looked at
appear to be memory corruption in memory allocated using mmap and
malloc.
My first attempt at fixing the random faults didn't work. On
reviewing the cache code, I realized that there were two issues
which the existing code didn't handle correctly. Both relate
to cache move-in. Another issue is that the present bit in PTEs
is racy.
1) PA-RISC caches have a mind of their own and they can speculatively
load data and instructions for a page as long as there is a entry in
the TLB for the page which allows move-in. TLBs are local to each
CPU. Thus, the TLB entry for a page must be purged before flushing
the page. This is particularly important on SMP systems.
In some of the flush routines, the flush routine would be called
and then the TLB entry would be purged. This was because the flush
routine needed the TLB entry to do the flush.
2) My initial approach to trying the fix the random faults was to
try and use flush_cache_page_if_present for all flush operations.
This actually made things worse and led to a couple of hardware
lockups. It finally dawned on me that some lines weren't being
flushed because the pte check code was racy. This resulted in
random inequivalent mappings to physical pages.
The __flush_cache_page tmpalias flush sets up its own TLB entry
and it doesn't need the existing TLB entry. As long as we can find
the pte pointer for the vm page, we can get the pfn and physical
address of the page. We can also purge the TLB entry for the page
before doing the flush. Further, __flush_cache_page uses a special
TLB entry that inhibits cache move-in.
When switching page mappings, we need to ensure that lines are
removed from the cache. It is not sufficient to just flush the
lines to memory as they may come back.
This made it clear that we needed to implement all the required
flush operations using tmpalias routines. This includes flushes
for user and kernel pages.
After modifying the code to use tmpalias flushes, it became clear
that the random segmentation faults were not fully resolved. The
frequency of faults was worse on systems with a 64 MB L2 (PA8900)
and systems with more CPUs (rp4440).
The warning that I added to flush_cache_page_if_present to detect
pages that couldn't be flushed triggered frequently on some systems.
Helge and I looked at the pages that couldn't be flushed and found
that the PTE was either cleared or for a swap page. Ignoring pages
that were swapped out seemed okay but pages with cleared PTEs seemed
problematic.
I looked at routines related to pte_clear and noticed ptep_clear_flush.
The default implementation just flushes the TLB entry. However, it was
obvious that on parisc we need to flush the cache page as well. If
we don't flush the cache page, stale lines will be left in the cache
and cause random corruption. Once a PTE is cleared, there is no way
to find the physical address associated with the PTE and flush the
associated page at a later time.
I implemented an updated change with a parisc specific version of
ptep_clear_flush. It fixed the random data corruption on Helge's rp4440
and rp3440, as well as on my c8000.
At this point, I realized that I could restore the code where we only
flush in flush_cache_page_if_present if the page has been accessed.
However, for this, we also need to flush the cache when the accessed
bit is cleared in

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: xattr: fix buffer overflow for invalid xattr
When an xattr size is not what is expected, it is printed out to the
kernel log in hex format as a form of debugging. But when that xattr
size is bigger than the expected size, printing it out can cause an
access off the end of the buffer.
Fix this all up by properly restricting the size of the debug hex dump
in the kernel log.

USB: class: cdc-wdm: Fix CPU lockup caused by excessive log messages
The syzbot fuzzer found that the interrupt-URB completion callback in
the cdc-wdm driver was taking too long, and the driver's immediate
resubmission of interrupt URBs with -EPROTO status combined with the
dummy-hcd emulation to cause a CPU lockup:

Testing showed that the problem did not occur if the two error
messages -- the first two lines above -- were removed; apparently adding
material to the kernel log takes a surprisingly large amount of time.
In any case, the best approach for preventing these lockups and to
avoid spamming the log with thousands of error messages per second is
to ratelimit the two dev_err() calls. Therefore we replace them with
dev_err_ratelimited().
