In the function rxe_create_cq, when rxe_cq_from_init fails, the function
rxe_cleanup will be called to handle the allocated resources. In fact,
some memory resources have already been freed in the function
rxe_cq_from_init. Thus, this problem will occur.
The solution is to let rxe_cleanup do all the work.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: max20086: fix invalid memory access
max20086_parse_regulators_dt() calls of_regulator_match() using an
array of struct of_regulator_match allocated on the stack for the
matches argument.
of_regulator_match() calls devm_of_regulator_put_matches(), which calls
devres_alloc() to allocate a struct devm_of_regulator_matches which will
be de-allocated using devm_of_regulator_put_matches().
struct devm_of_regulator_matches is populated with the stack allocated
matches array.
If the device fails to probe, devm_of_regulator_put_matches() will be
called and will try to call of_node_put() on that stack pointer,
generating the following dmesg entries:
max20086 6-0028: Failed to read DEVICE_ID reg: -121
kobject: '\xc0$\xa5\x03' (000000002cebcb7a): is not initialized, yet
kobject_put() is being called.
Followed by a stack trace matching the call flow described above.
Switch to allocating the matches array using devm_kcalloc() to
avoid accessing the stack pointer long after it's out of scope.
This also has the advantage of allowing multiple max20086 to probe
without overriding the data stored inside the global of_regulator_match.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kasan: avoid sleepable page allocation from atomic context
apply_to_pte_range() enters the lazy MMU mode and then invokes
kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() callback on each page table walk iteration.
However, the callback can go into sleep when trying to allocate a single
page, e.g. if an architecutre disables preemption on lazy MMU mode enter.
On s390 if make arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_enable() and
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_disable(), such crash occurs:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tls: fix kernel panic when alloc_page failed
We cannot set frag_list to NULL pointer when alloc_page failed.
It will be used in tls_strp_check_queue_ok when the next time
tls_strp_read_sock is called.
This is because we don't reset full_len in tls_strp_flush_anchor_copy()
so the recv path will try to continue handling the partial record
on the next call but we dettached the rcvq from the frag list.
Alternative fix would be to reset full_len.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix use-after-free when deleting GRE net devices
The driver only offloads neighbors that are constructed on top of net
devices registered by it or their uppers (which are all Ethernet). The
device supports GRE encapsulation and decapsulation of forwarded
traffic, but the driver will not offload dummy neighbors constructed on
top of GRE net devices as they are not uppers of its net devices:
# ip link add name gre1 up type gre tos inherit local 192.0.2.1 remote 198.51.100.1
# ip neigh add 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 nud noarp dev gre1
$ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 NOARP
(Note that the neighbor is not marked with 'offload')
When the driver is reloaded and the existing configuration is replayed,
the driver does not perform the same check regarding existing neighbors
and offloads the previously added one:
# devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0
$ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 offload NOARP
If the neighbor is later deleted, the driver will ignore the
notification (given the GRE net device is not its upper) and will
therefore keep referencing freed memory, resulting in a use-after-free
[1] when the net device is deleted:
# ip neigh del 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 dev gre1
# ip link del dev gre1
Fix by skipping neighbor replay if the net device for which the replay
is performed is not our upper.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Disable MACsec offload for uplink representor profile
MACsec offload is not supported in switchdev mode for uplink
representors. When switching to the uplink representor profile, the
MACsec offload feature must be cleared from the netdevice's features.
If left enabled, attempts to add offloads result in a null pointer
dereference, as the uplink representor does not support MACsec offload
even though the feature bit remains set.
Clear NETIF_F_HW_MACSEC in mlx5e_fix_uplink_rep_features().

This problem is similar to the problem that the
commit 1d6a9e7449e2 ("RDMA/core: Fix use-after-free when rename device name")
fixes.
The root cause is: the function ib_device_rename() renames the name with
lock. But in the function kobject_uevent(), this name is accessed without
lock protection at the same time.
The solution is to add the lock protection when this name is accessed in
the function kobject_uevent().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_alloc: fix race condition in unaccepted memory handling
The page allocator tracks the number of zones that have unaccepted memory
using static_branch_enc/dec() and uses that static branch in hot paths to
determine if it needs to deal with unaccepted memory.
Borislav and Thomas pointed out that the tracking is racy: operations on
static_branch are not serialized against adding/removing unaccepted pages
to/from the zone.
Sanity checks inside static_branch machinery detects it:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at kernel/jump_label.c:276 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked+0x8e/0xa0
The comment around the WARN() explains the problem:
/*
* Warn about the '-1' case though; since that means a
* decrement is concurrent with a first (0->1) increment. IOW
* people are trying to disable something that wasn't yet fully
* enabled. This suggests an ordering problem on the user side.

The effect of this static_branch optimization is only visible on
microbenchmark.
Instead of adding more complexity around it, remove it altogether.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: disable napi on driver removal
A warning on driver removal started occurring after commit 9dd05df8403b
("net: warn if NAPI instance wasn't shut down"). Disable tx napi before
deleting it in mt76_dma_cleanup().

Tested with mt7921e but the same pattern can be actually applied to other
mt76 drivers calling mt76_dma_cleanup() during removal. Tx napi is enabled
in their *_dma_init() functions and only toggled off and on again inside
their suspend/resume/reset paths. So it should be okay to disable tx
napi in such a generic way.
