Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns: fix possible memory leak in hnae_ae_register()
Inject fault while probing module, if device_register() fails,
but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name
allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling
put_device(), so that name can be freed in callback function
kobject_cleanup().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: fix overlap expiration walk
The lazy gc on insert that should remove timed-out entries fails to release
the other half of the interval, if any.
Can be reproduced with tests/shell/testcases/sets/0044interval_overlap_0
in nftables.git and kmemleak enabled kernel.
Second bug is the use of rbe_prev vs. prev pointer.
If rbe_prev() returns NULL after at least one iteration, rbe_prev points
to element that is not an end interval, hence it should not be removed.
Lastly, check the genmask of the end interval if this is active in the
current generation.

As 'ext4_rename' will modify 'old.inode' ctime and mark inode dirty,
which may trigger expand 'extra_isize' and allocate block. If inode
didn't init quota will lead to warning. To solve above issue, init
'old.inode' firstly in 'ext4_rename'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: rtsx_usb_sdmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory
that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel
crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path.
So fix this by checking the return value and calling mmc_free_host() in the
error path, besides, led_classdev_unregister() and pm_runtime_disable() also
need be called.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Fix a memory leak in an error handling path
If this memdup_user() call fails, the memory allocated in a previous call
a few lines above should be freed. Otherwise it leaks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: tifm: fix possible memory leak in tifm_7xx1_switch_media()
If device_register() returns error in tifm_7xx1_switch_media(),
name of kobject which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add()
is leaked.
Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: iscsi: Fix a race condition between login_work and the login thread
In case a malicious initiator sends some random data immediately after a
login PDU; the iscsi_target_sk_data_ready() callback will schedule the
login_work and, at the same time, the negotiation may end without clearing
the LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU flag (because no additional PDU exchanges are
required to complete the login).
The login has been completed but the login_work function will find the
LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU flag set and will never stop from rescheduling
itself; at this point, if the initiator drops the connection, the
iscsit_conn structure will be freed, login_work will dereference a released
socket structure and the kernel crashes.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000230
PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
Workqueue: events iscsi_target_do_login_rx [iscsi_target_mod]

Call trace:

Fix this bug by forcing login_work to stop after the login has been
completed and the socket callbacks have been restored.
Add a comment to clearify the return values of iscsi_target_do_login()

media: vimc: Fix wrong function called when vimc_init() fails
In vimc_init(), when platform_driver_register(&vimc_pdrv) fails,
platform_driver_unregister(&vimc_pdrv) is wrongly called rather than
platform_device_unregister(&vimc_pdev), which causes kernel warning:
Unexpected driver unregister!
