In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: qgroup: fix race between quota disable and quota rescan ioctl
There's a race between a task disabling quotas and another running the
rescan ioctl that can result in a use-after-free of qgroup records from
the fs_info->qgroup_tree rbtree.
This happens as follows:
1) Task A enters btrfs_ioctl_quota_rescan() -> btrfs_qgroup_rescan();
2) Task B enters btrfs_quota_disable() and calls
btrfs_qgroup_wait_for_completion(), which does nothing because at that
point fs_info->qgroup_rescan_running is false (it wasn't set yet by
task A);
3) Task B calls btrfs_free_qgroup_config() which starts freeing qgroups
from fs_info->qgroup_tree without taking the lock fs_info->qgroup_lock;
4) Task A enters qgroup_rescan_zero_tracking() which starts iterating
the fs_info->qgroup_tree tree while holding fs_info->qgroup_lock,
but task B is freeing qgroup records from that tree without holding
the lock, resulting in a use-after-free.
Fix this by taking fs_info->qgroup_lock at btrfs_free_qgroup_config().
Also at btrfs_qgroup_rescan() don't start the rescan worker if quotas
were already disabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: Protect ->defer_qs_iw_pending from data race
On kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y, when rcu_read_unlock() is
invoked within an interrupts-disabled region of code [1], it will invoke
rcu_read_unlock_special(), which uses an irq-work handler to force the
system to notice when the RCU read-side critical section actually ends.
That end won't happen until interrupts are enabled at the soonest.
In some kernels, such as those booted with rcutree.use_softirq=y, the
irq-work handler is used unconditionally.
The per-CPU rcu_data structure's ->defer_qs_iw_pending field is
updated by the irq-work handler and is both read and updated by
rcu_read_unlock_special(). This resulted in the following KCSAN splat:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that irq-work handlers run with interrupts enabled, which
means that rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() could be interrupted,
and that interrupt handler might contain an RCU read-side critical
section, which might invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(). In the strict
KCSAN mode of operation used by RCU, this constitutes a data race on
the ->defer_qs_iw_pending field.
This commit therefore disables interrupts across the portion of the
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() that updates the ->defer_qs_iw_pending
field. This suffices because this handler is not a fast path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: rockchip: fix kernel hang during smp initialization
In order to bring up secondary CPUs main CPU write trampoline
code to SRAM. The trampoline code is written while secondary
CPUs are powered on (at least that true for RK3188 CPU).
Sometimes that leads to kernel hang. Probably because secondary
CPU execute trampoline code while kernel doesn't expect.
The patch moves SRAM initialization step to the point where all
secondary CPUs are powered down.
That fixes rarely hangs on RK3188:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: truncate good inode pages when hard link is 0
The fileset value of the inode copy from the disk by the reproducer is
AGGR_RESERVED_I. When executing evict, its hard link number is 0, so its
inode pages are not truncated. This causes the bugon to be triggered when
executing clear_inode() because nrpages is greater than 0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA: hfi1: fix possible divide-by-zero in find_hw_thread_mask()
The function divides number of online CPUs by num_core_siblings, and
later checks the divider by zero. This implies a possibility to get
and divide-by-zero runtime error. Fix it by moving the check prior to
division. This also helps to save one indentation level.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not allow relocation of partially dropped subvolumes
[BUG]
There is an internal report that balance triggered transaction abort,
with the following call trace:

extent refs 1 gen 197740 flags 2

------------[ cut here ]------------
BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -117)
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6963 at ../fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c:2168 btrfs_run_delayed_refs+0xfa/0x110 [btrfs]
And btrfs check doesn't report anything wrong related to the extent
tree.
[CAUSE]
The cause is a little complex, firstly the extent tree indeed doesn't
have the backref for 594526208.
The extent tree only have the following two backrefs around that bytenr
on-disk:
item 65 key (594509824 METADATA_ITEM 0) itemoff 13880 itemsize 33
refs 1 gen 197740 flags TREE_BLOCK
tree block skinny level 0
(176 0x7) tree block backref root CSUM_TREE
item 66 key (594558976 METADATA_ITEM 0) itemoff 13847 itemsize 33
refs 1 gen 197522 flags TREE_BLOCK
tree block skinny level 0
(176 0x7) tree block backref root CSUM_TREE
But the such missing backref item is not an corruption on disk, as the
offending delayed ref belongs to subvolume 934, and that subvolume is
being dropped:
item 0 key (934 ROOT_ITEM 198229) itemoff 15844 itemsize 439
generation 198229 root_dirid 256 bytenr 10741039104 byte_limit 0 bytes_used 345571328
last_snapshot 198229 flags 0x1000000000001(RDONLY) refs 0
drop_progress key (206324 EXTENT_DATA 2711650304) drop_level 2
level 2 generation_v2 198229
And that offending tree block 594526208 is inside the dropped range of
that subvolume. That explains why there is no backref item for that
bytenr and why btrfs check is not reporting anything wrong.
But this also shows another problem, as btrfs will do all the orphan
subvolume cleanup at a read-write mount.
So half-dropped subvolume should not exist after an RW mount, and
balance itself is also exclusive to subvolume cleanup, meaning we
shouldn't hit a subvolume half-dropped during relocation.
The root cause is, there is no orphan item for this subvolume.
In fact there are 5 subvolumes from around 2021 that have the same
problem.
It looks like the original report has some older kernels running, and
caused those zombie subvolumes.
Thankfully upstream commit 8d488a8c7ba2 ("btrfs: fix subvolume/snapshot
deletion not triggered on mount") has long fixed the bug.
[ENHANCEMENT]
For repairing such old fs, btrfs-progs will be enhanced.
Considering how delayed the problem will show up (at run delayed ref
time) and at that time we have to abort transaction already, it is too
late.
Instead here we reject any half-dropped subvolume for reloc tree at the
earliest time, preventing confusion and extra time wasted on debugging
similar bugs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: avoid deadlock by moving pr_warn() outside kmemleak_lock
When netpoll is enabled, calling pr_warn_once() while holding
kmemleak_lock in mem_pool_alloc() can cause a deadlock due to lock
inversion with the netconsole subsystem. This occurs because
pr_warn_once() may trigger netpoll, which eventually leads to
__alloc_skb() and back into kmemleak code, attempting to reacquire
kmemleak_lock.
This is the path for the deadlock.
mem_pool_alloc()
-> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);
-> pr_warn_once()
-> netconsole subsystem
-> netpoll
-> __alloc_skb
-> __create_object
-> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);
Fix this by setting a flag and issuing the pr_warn_once() after
kmemleak_lock is released.

This patch modifies in_task() check inside f2fs_read_end_io() to also
check if interrupts are disabled. This ensures that pages are unmapped
asynchronously in an interrupt handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Revise __get_user() to probe user read access
Because of the way read access support is implemented, read access
interruptions are only triggered at privilege levels 2 and 3. The
kernel executes at privilege level 0, so __get_user() never triggers
a read access interruption (code 26). Thus, it is currently possible
for user code to access a read protected address via a system call.
Fix this by probing read access rights at privilege level 3 (PRIV_USER)
and setting __gu_err to -EFAULT (-14) if access isn't allowed.
Note the cmpiclr instruction does a 32-bit compare because COND macro
doesn't work inside asm.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock/virtio: Validate length in packet header before skb_put()
When receiving a vsock packet in the guest, only the virtqueue buffer
size is validated prior to virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put(). Unfortunately,
virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put() uses the length from the packet header as the
length argument to skb_put(), potentially resulting in SKB overflow if
the host has gone wonky.
Validate the length as advertised by the packet header before calling
virtio_vsock_skb_rx_put().
