In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Fix an Oops in nfs_d_automount()
When mounting from a NFSv4 referral, path->dentry can end up being a
negative dentry, so derive the struct nfs_server from the dentry
itself instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix multipath crash caused by flush request when blktrace is enabled
The flush request initialized by blk_kick_flush has NULL bio,
and it may be dealt with nvme_end_req during io completion.
When blktrace is enabled, nvme_trace_bio_complete with multipath
activated trying to access NULL pointer bio from flush request
results in the following crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: tpm_crb: Add the missed acpi_put_table() to fix memory leak
In crb_acpi_add(), we get the TPM2 table to retrieve information
like start method, and then assign them to the priv data, so the
TPM2 table is not used after the init, should be freed, call
acpi_put_table() to fix the memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: fix a crash in mempool_free
There's a crash in mempool_free when running the lvm test
shell/lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh.
The reason for the crash is this:
* super_written calls atomic_dec_and_test(&mddev->pending_writes) and
wake_up(&mddev->sb_wait). Then it calls rdev_dec_pending(rdev, mddev)
and bio_put(bio).
* so, the process that waited on sb_wait and that is woken up is racing
with bio_put(bio).
* if the process wins the race, it calls bioset_exit before bio_put(bio)
is executed.
* bio_put(bio) attempts to free a bio into a destroyed bio set - causing
a crash in mempool_free.
We fix this bug by moving bio_put before atomic_dec_and_test.
We also move rdev_dec_pending before atomic_dec_and_test as suggested by
Neil Brown.
The function md_end_flush has a similar bug - we must call bio_put before
we decrement the number of in-progress bios.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
padata: Always leave BHs disabled when running ->parallel()
A deadlock can happen when an overloaded system runs ->parallel() in the
context of the current task:
padata_do_parallel
->parallel()
pcrypt_aead_enc/dec
padata_do_serial
spin_lock(&reorder->lock) // BHs still enabled
<interrupt>
...
__do_softirq
...
padata_do_serial
spin_lock(&reorder->lock)
It's a bug for BHs to be on in _do_serial as Steffen points out, so
ensure they're off in the "current task" case like they are in
padata_parallel_worker to avoid this situation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/habanalabs: fix mem leak in capture user mappings
This commit fixes a memory leak caused when clearing the user_mappings
info when a new context is opened immediately after user_mapping is
captured and a hard reset is performed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix race issue between cpu buffer write and swap
Warning happened in rb_end_commit() at code:
if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, !local_read(&cpu_buffer->committing)))

It is because the race between writing event into cpu buffer and swapping
cpu buffer through file per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot:
Write on CPU 0 Swap buffer by per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot on CPU 1
-------- --------
tracing_snapshot_write()
[...]
ring_buffer_lock_reserve()
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // 1. Suppose find 'cpu_buffer_a';
[...]
rb_reserve_next_event()
[...]
ring_buffer_swap_cpu()
if (local_read(&cpu_buffer_a->committing))
goto out_dec;
if (local_read(&cpu_buffer_b->committing))
goto out_dec;
buffer_a->buffers[cpu] = cpu_buffer_b;
buffer_b->buffers[cpu] = cpu_buffer_a;
// 2. cpu_buffer has swapped here.
rb_start_commit(cpu_buffer);
if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer)
!= buffer)) { // 3. This check passed due to 'cpu_buffer->buffer'
[...] // has not changed here.
return NULL;
}
cpu_buffer_b->buffer = buffer_a;
cpu_buffer_a->buffer = buffer_b;
[...]
// 4. Reserve event from 'cpu_buffer_a'.
ring_buffer_unlock_commit()
[...]
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // 5. Now find 'cpu_buffer_b' !!!
rb_commit(cpu_buffer)
rb_end_commit() // 6. WARN for the wrong 'committing' state !!!
Based on above analysis, we can easily reproduce by following testcase:
``` bash
#!/bin/bash
dmesg -n 7
sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1
TR=/sys/kernel/tracing
echo 7 > ${TR}/buffer_size_kb
echo "sched:sched_switch" > ${TR}/set_event
while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
```
To fix it, IIUC, we can use smp_call_function_single() to do the swap on
the target cpu where the buffer is located, so that above race would be
avoided.
