After journal aborting, __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer() is executed with
holding @jh->b_state_lock, we can fix it by moving 'is_handle_aborted()'
into the area protected by @jh->b_state_lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/cell/axon_msi: Fix refcount leak in setup_msi_msg_address
of_get_next_parent() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented,
we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() in the error path to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: arkfb: Check the size of screen before memset_io()
In the function arkfb_set_par(), the value of 'screen_size' is
calculated by the user input. If the user provides the improper value,
the value of 'screen_size' may larger than 'info->screen_size', which
may cause the following bug:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: arkfb: Fix a divide-by-zero bug in ark_set_pixclock()
Since the user can control the arguments of the ioctl() from the user
space, under special arguments that may result in a divide-by-zero bug
in:
drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:784: ark_set_pixclock(info, (hdiv * info->var.pixclock) / hmul);
with hdiv=1, pixclock=1 and hmul=2 you end up with (1*1)/2 = (int) 0.
and then in:
drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c:504: rv = dac_set_freq(par->dac, 0, 1000000000 / pixclock);
we'll get a division-by-zero.
The following log can reveal it:

after converting the type of the first argument (@nr, bit number)
of arch_test_bit() from `long` to `unsigned long`[0].
Under certain conditions (for example, when ACPI NUMA is disabled
via command line), pxm_to_node() can return %NUMA_NO_NODE (-1).
It is valid 'magic' number of NUMA node, but not valid bit number
to use in bitops.
node_online() eventually descends to test_bit() without checking
for the input, assuming it's on caller side (which might be good
for perf-critical tasks). There, -1 becomes %ULONG_MAX which leads
to an insane array index when calculating bit position in memory.
For now, add an explicit check for @node being not %NUMA_NO_NODE
before calling test_bit(). The actual logics didn't change here
at all.

dm raid: fix address sanitizer warning in raid_status
There is this warning when using a kernel with the address sanitizer
and running this testsuite:
https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-tests/-/tree/main/storage/swraid/scsi_raid

The warning is caused by reading conf->max_nr_stripes in raid_status. The
code in raid_status reads mddev->private, casts it to struct r5conf and
reads the entry max_nr_stripes.
However, if we have different raid type than 4/5/6, mddev->private
doesn't point to struct r5conf; it may point to struct r0conf, struct
r1conf, struct r10conf or struct mpconf. If we cast a pointer to one
of these structs to struct r5conf, we will be reading invalid memory
and KASAN warns about it.
Fix this bug by reading struct r5conf only if raid type is 4, 5 or 6.
