fs/buffer: fix use-after-free when call bh_read() helper
There's issue as follows:

Above issue happens when do ntfs3 filesystem mount, issue may happens
as follows:
mount IRQ
ntfs_fill_super
read_cache_page
do_read_cache_folio
filemap_read_folio
mpage_read_folio
do_mpage_readpage
ntfs_get_block_vbo
bh_read
submit_bh
wait_on_buffer(bh);
blk_complete_reqs
scsi_io_completion
scsi_end_request
blk_update_request
end_bio_bh_io_sync
end_buffer_read_sync
__end_buffer_read_notouch
unlock_buffer
wait_on_buffer(bh);--> return will return to caller
put_bh
--> trigger stack-out-of-bounds
In the mpage_read_folio() function, the stack variable 'map_bh' is
passed to ntfs_get_block_vbo(). Once unlock_buffer() unlocks and
wait_on_buffer() returns to continue processing, the stack variable
is likely to be reclaimed. Consequently, during the end_buffer_read_sync()
process, calling put_bh() may result in stack overrun.
If the bh is not allocated on the stack, it belongs to a folio. Freeing
a buffer head which belongs to a folio is done by drop_buffers() which
will fail to free buffers which are still locked. So it is safe to call
put_bh() before __end_buffer_read_notouch().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: server: split ksmbd_rdma_stop_listening() out of ksmbd_rdma_destroy()
We can't call destroy_workqueue(smb_direct_wq); before stop_sessions()!
Otherwise already existing connections try to use smb_direct_wq as
a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/cpu/hygon: Add missing resctrl_cpu_detect() in bsp_init helper
Since
923f3a2b48bd ("x86/resctrl: Query LLC monitoring properties once during boot")
resctrl_cpu_detect() has been moved from common CPU initialization code to
the vendor-specific BSP init helper, while Hygon didn't put that call in their
code.
This triggers a division by zero fault during early booting stage on our
machines with X86_FEATURE_CQM* supported, where get_rdt_mon_resources() tries
to calculate mon_l3_config with uninitialized boot_cpu_data.x86_cache_occ_scale.
Add the missing resctrl_cpu_detect() in the Hygon BSP init helper.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Limit access to parser->buffer when trace_get_user failed
When the length of the string written to set_ftrace_filter exceeds
FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, the following KASAN alarm will be triggered:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in strsep+0x18c/0x1b0
Read of size 1 at addr ffff0000d00bd5ba by task ash/165
CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 165 Comm: ash Not tainted 6.16.0-g6bcdbd62bd56-dirty
Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)
Call trace:

el0_svc+0xec/0xf0
el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe8
el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0
The reason is that trace_get_user will fail when processing a string
longer than FTRACE_BUFF_MAX, but not set the end of parser->buffer to 0.
Then an OOB access will be triggered in ftrace_regex_release->
ftrace_process_regex->strsep->strpbrk. We can solve this problem by
limiting access to parser->buffer when trace_get_user failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: fix race conditions in ppp_fill_forward_path
ppp_fill_forward_path() has two race conditions:
1. The ppp->channels list can change between list_empty() and
list_first_entry(), as ppp_lock() is not held. If the only channel
is deleted in ppp_disconnect_channel(), list_first_entry() may
access an empty head or a freed entry, and trigger a panic.
2. pch->chan can be NULL. When ppp_unregister_channel() is called,
pch->chan is set to NULL before pch is removed from ppp->channels.
Fix these by using a lockless RCU approach:
- Use list_first_or_null_rcu() to safely test and access the first list
entry.
- Convert list modifications on ppp->channels to their RCU variants and
add synchronize_net() after removal.
- Check for a NULL pch->chan before dereferencing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null pointer check in mod_hdcp_hdcp1_create_session()
The function mod_hdcp_hdcp1_create_session() calls the function
get_first_active_display(), but does not check its return value.
The return value is a null pointer if the display list is empty.
This will lead to a null pointer dereference.
Add a null pointer check for get_first_active_display() and return
MOD_HDCP_STATUS_DISPLAY_NOT_FOUND if the function return null.
This is similar to the commit c3e9826a2202
("drm/amd/display: Add null pointer check for get_first_active_display()").
(cherry picked from commit 5e43eb3cd731649c4f8b9134f857be62a416c893)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla4xxx: Prevent a potential error pointer dereference
The qla4xxx_get_ep_fwdb() function is supposed to return NULL on error,
but qla4xxx_ep_connect() returns error pointers. Propagating the error
pointers will lead to an Oops in the caller, so change the error pointers
to NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_reject: don't leak dst refcount for loopback packets
recent patches to add a WARN() when replacing skb dst entry found an
old bug:
WARNING: include/linux/skbuff.h:1165 skb_dst_check_unset include/linux/skbuff.h:1164 [inline]
WARNING: include/linux/skbuff.h:1165 skb_dst_set include/linux/skbuff.h:1210 [inline]
WARNING: include/linux/skbuff.h:1165 nf_reject_fill_skb_dst+0x2a4/0x330 net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_reject_ipv4.c:234

expr_call_ops_eval net/netfilter/nf_tables_core.c:237 [inline]
..
This is because blamed commit forgot about loopback packets.
Such packets already have a dst_entry attached, even at PRE_ROUTING stage.
Instead of checking hook just check if the skb already has a route
attached to it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: prevent ethtool ops after shutdown
A crash can occur if an ethtool operation is invoked
after shutdown() is called.
shutdown() is invoked during system shutdown to stop DMA operations
without performing expensive deallocations. It is discouraged to
unregister the netdev in this path, so the device may still be visible
to userspace and kernel helpers.
In gve, shutdown() tears down most internal data structures. If an
ethtool operation is dispatched after shutdown(), it will dereference
freed or NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic. While graceful
shutdown normally quiesces userspace before invoking the reboot
syscall, forced shutdowns (as observed on GCP VMs) can still trigger
this path.
Fix by calling netif_device_detach() in shutdown().
This marks the device as detached so the ethtool ioctl handler
will skip dispatching operations to the driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: asix_devices: Fix PHY address mask in MDIO bus initialization
Syzbot reported shift-out-of-bounds exception on MDIO bus initialization.
The PHY address should be masked to 5 bits (0-31). Without this
mask, invalid PHY addresses could be used, potentially causing issues
with MDIO bus operations.
Fix this by masking the PHY address with 0x1f (31 decimal) to ensure
it stays within the valid range.
