Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: KVM: Fix base address calculation in kvm_eiointc_regs_access()
In function kvm_eiointc_regs_access(), the register base address is
caculated from array base address plus offset, the offset is absolute
value from the base address. The data type of array base address is
u64, it should be converted into the "void *" type and then plus the
offset.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Fix deadlock during netdev reset with active connections
Resolve deadlock that occurs when user executes netdev reset while RDMA
applications (e.g., rping) are active. The netdev reset causes ice
driver to remove irdma auxiliary driver, triggering device_delete and
subsequent client removal. During client removal, uverbs_client waits
for QP reference count to reach zero while cma_client holds the final
reference, creating circular dependency and indefinite wait in iWARP
mode. Skip QP reference count wait during device reset to prevent
deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: cp2615: fix serial string NULL-deref at probe
The cp2615 driver uses the USB device serial string as the i2c adapter
name but does not make sure that the string exists.
Verify that the device has a serial number before accessing it to avoid
triggering a NULL-pointer dereference (e.g. with malicious devices).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pmdomain: bcm: bcm2835-power: Increase ASB control timeout
The bcm2835_asb_control() function uses a tight polling loop to wait
for the ASB bridge to acknowledge a request. During intensive workloads,
this handshake intermittently fails for V3D's master ASB on BCM2711,
resulting in "Failed to disable ASB master for v3d" errors during
runtime PM suspend. As a consequence, the failed power-off leaves V3D in
a broken state, leading to bus faults or system hangs on later accesses.
As the timeout is insufficient in some scenarios, increase the polling
timeout from 1us to 5us, which is still negligible in the context of a
power domain transition. Also, replace the open-coded ktime_get_ns()/
cpu_relax() polling loop with readl_poll_timeout_atomic().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Fix static_branch_dec() underflow for aql_disable.
syzbot reported static_branch_dec() underflow in aql_enable_write(). [0]
The problem is that aql_enable_write() does not serialise concurrent
write()s to the debugfs.
aql_enable_write() checks static_key_false(&aql_disable.key) and
later calls static_branch_inc() or static_branch_dec(), but the
state may change between the two calls.
aql_disable does not need to track inc/dec.
Let's use static_branch_enable() and static_branch_disable().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wlcore: Return -ENOMEM instead of -EAGAIN if there is not enough headroom
Since upstream commit e75665dd0968 ("wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom
before skb_push"), wl1271_tx_allocate() and with it
wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() returns -EAGAIN if pskb_expand_head() fails.
However, in wlcore_tx_work_locked(), a return value of -EAGAIN from
wl1271_prepare_tx_frame() is interpreted as the aggregation buffer being
full. This causes the code to flush the buffer, put the skb back at the
head of the queue, and immediately retry the same skb in a tight while
loop.
Because wlcore_tx_work_locked() holds wl->mutex, and the retry happens
immediately with GFP_ATOMIC, this will result in an infinite loop and a
CPU soft lockup. Return -ENOMEM instead so the packet is dropped and
the loop terminates.
The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on
gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

KVM: arm64: Fix the descriptor address in __kvm_at_swap_desc()
Using "(u64 __user *)hva + offset" to get the virtual addresses of S1/S2
descriptors looks really wrong, if offset is not zero. What we want to get
for swapping is hva + offset, not hva + offset*8. ;-)
Fix it.

futex: Require sys_futex_requeue() to have identical flags
Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF
when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial
motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex,
but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are
identical, as is the case for the old style sys_futex() requeue
operations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex: Clear stale exiting pointer in futex_lock_pi() retry path
Fuzzying/stressing futexes triggered:
WARNING: kernel/futex/core.c:825 at wait_for_owner_exiting+0x7a/0x80, CPU#11: futex_lock_pi_s/524
When futex_lock_pi_atomic() sees the owner is exiting, it returns -EBUSY
and stores a refcounted task pointer in 'exiting'.
After wait_for_owner_exiting() consumes that reference, the local pointer
is never reset to nil. Upon a retry, if futex_lock_pi_atomic() returns a
different error, the bogus pointer is passed to wait_for_owner_exiting().

*uaddr ^= WAITERS // whatever

return -EAGAIN;

Fix this by resetting upon retry, essentially aligning it with requeue_pi.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: scrub: unlock dquot before early return in quota scrub
xchk_quota_item can return early after calling xchk_fblock_process_error.
When that helper returns false, the function returned immediately without
dropping dq->q_qlock, which can leave the dquot lock held and risk lock
leaks or deadlocks in later quota operations.
Fix this by unlocking dq->q_qlock before the early return.
