Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nSVM: Remove a user-triggerable WARN on nested_svm_load_cr3() succeeding
Drop the WARN in svm_set_nested_state() on nested_svm_load_cr3() failing
as it is trivially easy to trigger from userspace by modifying CPUID after
loading CR3. E.g. modifying the state restoration selftest like so:

Simply delete the WARN instead of trying to prevent userspace from shoving
"illegal" state into CR3. For better or worse, KVM's ABI allows userspace
to set CPUID after SREGS, and vice versa, and KVM is very permissive when
it comes to guest CPUID. I.e. attempting to enforce the virtual CPU model
when setting CPUID could break userspace. Given that the WARN doesn't
provide any meaningful protection for KVM or benefit for userspace, simply
drop it even though the odds of breaking userspace are minuscule.
Opportunistically delete a spurious newline.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: adxl380: Avoid reading more entries than present in FIFO
The interrupt handler reads FIFO entries in batches of N samples, where N
is the number of scan elements that have been enabled. However, the sensor
fills the FIFO one sample at a time, even when more than one channel is
enabled. Therefore,the number of entries reported by the FIFO status
registers may not be a multiple of N; if this number is not a multiple, the
number of entries read from the FIFO may exceed the number of entries
actually present.
To fix the above issue, round down the number of FIFO entries read from the
status registers so that it is always a multiple of N.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md raid: fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid
When using device-mapper's dm-raid target, stopping a RAID array can cause
the system to hang under specific conditions.
This occurs when:
- A dm-raid managed device tree is suspended from top to bottom
(the top-level RAID device is suspended first, followed by its
underlying metadata and data devices)
- The top-level RAID device is then removed
Removing the top-level device triggers a hang in the following sequence:
the dm-raid destructor calls md_stop(), which tries to flush the
write-intent bitmap by writing to the metadata sub-devices. However, these
devices are already suspended, making them unable to complete the write-intent
operations and causing an indefinite block.
Fix:
- Prevent bitmap flushing when md_stop() is called from dm-raid
destructor context
and avoid a quiescing/unquescing cycle which could also cause I/O
- Still allow write-intent bitmap flushing when called from dm-raid
suspend context
This ensures that RAID array teardown can complete successfully even when the
underlying devices are in a suspended state.
This second patch uses md_is_rdwr() to distinguish between suspend and
destructor paths as elaborated on above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: verisilicon: Avoid G2 bus error while decoding H.264 and HEVC
For the i.MX8MQ platform, there is a hardware limitation: the g1 VPU and
g2 VPU cannot decode simultaneously; otherwise, it will cause below bus
error and produce corrupted pictures, even potentially lead to system hang.
[ 110.527986] hantro-vpu 38310000.video-codec: frame decode timed out.
[ 110.583517] hantro-vpu 38310000.video-codec: bus error detected.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that g1 and g2 operate alternately.
This allows for successful multi-instance decoding of H.264 and HEVC.
To achieve this, g1 and g2 share the same v4l2_m2m_dev, and then the
v4l2_m2m_dev can handle the scheduling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not ASSERT() when the fs flips RO inside btrfs_repair_io_failure()
[BUG]
There is a bug report that when btrfs hits ENOSPC error in a critical
path, btrfs flips RO (this part is expected, although the ENOSPC bug
still needs to be addressed).
The problem is after the RO flip, if there is a read repair pending, we
can hit the ASSERT() inside btrfs_repair_io_failure() like the following:

[CAUSE]
The cause of -ENOSPC error during the test case btrfs/124 is still
unknown, although it's known that we still have cases where metadata can
be over-committed but can not be fulfilled correctly, thus if we hit
such ENOSPC error inside a critical path, we have no choice but abort
the current transaction.
This will mark the fs read-only.
The problem is inside the btrfs_repair_io_failure() path that we require
the fs not to be mount read-only. This is normally fine, but if we are
doing a read-repair meanwhile the fs flips RO due to a critical error,
we can enter btrfs_repair_io_failure() with super block set to
read-only, thus triggering the above crash.
[FIX]
Just replace the ASSERT() with a proper return if the fs is already
read-only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panel: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in jdi_panel_dsi_remove()
In jdi_panel_dsi_remove(), jdi is explicitly checked, indicating that it
may be NULL:
if (!jdi)
mipi_dsi_detach(dsi);
However, when jdi is NULL, the function does not return and continues by
calling jdi_panel_disable():
err = jdi_panel_disable(&jdi->base);
Inside jdi_panel_disable(), jdi is dereferenced unconditionally, which can
lead to a NULL-pointer dereference:
struct jdi_panel *jdi = to_panel_jdi(panel);
backlight_disable(jdi->backlight);
To prevent such a potential NULL-pointer dereference, return early from
jdi_panel_dsi_remove() when jdi is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Fix PM runtime usage count underflow
Replace pm_runtime_put_sync() with pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() in
the remove path to properly pair with pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() from
probe. This allows pm_runtime_disable() to handle reference count cleanup
correctly regardless of current suspend state.
The driver calls pm_runtime_put_sync() unconditionally in remove, but the
device may already be suspended due to autosuspend configured in probe.
When autosuspend has already suspended the device, the usage count is 0,
and pm_runtime_put_sync() decrements it to -1.
This causes the following warning on module unload:

drm/v3d: Set DMA segment size to avoid debug warnings
When using V3D rendering with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled, the
kernel occasionally reports a segment size mismatch. This is because
'max_seg_size' is not set. The kernel defaults to 64K. setting
'max_seg_size' to the maximum will prevent 'debug_dma_map_sg()'
from complaining about the over-mapping of the V3D segment length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_alloc: clear page->private in free_pages_prepare()
Several subsystems (slub, shmem, ttm, etc.) use page->private but don't
clear it before freeing pages. When these pages are later allocated as
high-order pages and split via split_page(), tail pages retain stale
page->private values.
This causes a use-after-free in the swap subsystem. The swap code uses
page->private to track swap count continuations, assuming freshly
allocated pages have page->private == 0. When stale values are present,
swap_count_continued() incorrectly assumes the continuation list is valid
and iterates over uninitialized page->lru containing LIST_POISON values,
causing a crash:
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000100-0xdead000000000107]
RIP: 0010:__do_sys_swapoff+0x1151/0x1860
Fix this by clearing page->private in free_pages_prepare(), ensuring all
freed pages have clean state regardless of previous use.
