Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: tracepoints: get correct superblock from dentry in event btrfs_sync_file()
If overlay is used on top of btrfs, dentry->d_sb translates to overlay's
super block and fsid assignment will lead to a crash.
Use file_inode(file)->i_sb to always get btrfs_sb.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix zero size inode with non-zero size after log replay
When logging that an inode exists, as part of logging a new name or
logging new dir entries for a directory, we always set the generation of
the logged inode item to 0. This is to signal during log replay (in
overwrite_item()), that we should not set the i_size since we only logged
that an inode exists, so the i_size of the inode in the subvolume tree
must be preserved (as when we log new names or that an inode exists, we
don't log extents).
This works fine except when we have already logged an inode in full mode
or it's the first time we are logging an inode created in a past
transaction, that inode has a new i_size of 0 and then we log a new name
for the inode (due to a new hardlink or a rename), in which case we log
an i_size of 0 for the inode and a generation of 0, which causes the log
replay code to not update the inode's i_size to 0 (in overwrite_item()).
An example scenario:
mkdir /mnt/dir
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 64K" /mnt/dir/foo
sync
xfs_io -c "truncate 0" -c "fsync" /mnt/dir/foo
ln /mnt/dir/foo /mnt/dir/bar
xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/dir
<power fail>
After log replay the file remains with a size of 64K. This is because when
we first log the inode, when we fsync file foo, we log its current i_size
of 0, and then when we create a hard link we log again the inode in exists
mode (LOG_INODE_EXISTS) but we set a generation of 0 for the inode item we
add to the log tree, so during log replay overwrite_item() sees that the
generation is 0 and i_size is 0 so we skip updating the inode's i_size
from 64K to 0.
Fix this by making sure at fill_inode_item() we always log the real
generation of the inode if it was logged in the current transaction with
the i_size we logged before. Also if an inode created in a previous
transaction is logged in exists mode only, make sure we log the i_size
stored in the inode item located from the commit root, so that if we log
multiple times that the inode exists we get the correct i_size.
A test case for fstests will follow soon.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_sync: annotate data-races around hdev->req_status
__hci_cmd_sync_sk() sets hdev->req_status under hdev->req_lock:
hdev->req_status = HCI_REQ_PEND;
However, several other functions read or write hdev->req_status without
holding any lock:
- hci_send_cmd_sync() reads req_status in hci_cmd_work (workqueue)
- hci_cmd_sync_complete() reads/writes from HCI event completion
- hci_cmd_sync_cancel() / hci_cmd_sync_cancel_sync() read/write
- hci_abort_conn() reads in connection abort path
Since __hci_cmd_sync_sk() runs on hdev->req_workqueue while
hci_send_cmd_sync() runs on hdev->workqueue, these are different
workqueues that can execute concurrently on different CPUs. The plain
C accesses constitute a data race.
Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations on all concurrent accesses
to hdev->req_status to prevent potential compiler optimizations that
could affect correctness (e.g., load fusing in the wait_event
condition or store reordering).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Fix double free related to rereg_user_mr
If IB_MR_REREG_TRANS is set during rereg_user_mr, the
umem will be released and a new one will be allocated
in irdma_rereg_mr_trans. If any step of irdma_rereg_mr_trans
fails after the new umem is allocated, it releases the umem,
but does not set iwmr->region to NULL. The problem is that
this failure is propagated to the user, who will then call
ibv_dereg_mr (as they should). Then, the dereg_mr path will
see a non-NULL umem and attempt to call ib_umem_release again.
Fix this by setting iwmr->region to NULL after ib_umem_release.
Fixed: 5ac388db27c4 ("RDMA/irdma: Add support to re-register a memory region")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Fix memory leak of BO array in hang state
The hang state's BO array is allocated separately with kzalloc() in
vc4_save_hang_state() but never freed in vc4_free_hang_state(). Add the
missing kfree() for the BO array before freeing the hang state struct.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: fix incorrect dentry refcount in cachefiles_cull()
The patch mentioned below changed cachefiles_bury_object() to expect 2
references to the 'rep' dentry. Three of the callers were changed to
use start_removing_dentry() which takes an extra reference so in those
cases the call gets the expected references.
However there is another call to cachefiles_bury_object() in
cachefiles_cull() which did not need to be changed to use
start_removing_dentry() and so was not properly considered.
It still passed the dentry with just one reference so the net result is
that a reference is lost.
To meet the expectations of cachefiles_bury_object(), cachefiles_cull()
must take an extra reference before the call. It will be dropped by
cachefiles_bury_object().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: account XFRMA_IF_ID in aevent size calculation
xfrm_get_ae() allocates the reply skb with xfrm_aevent_msgsize(), then
build_aevent() appends attributes including XFRMA_IF_ID when x->if_id is
set.
xfrm_aevent_msgsize() does not include space for XFRMA_IF_ID. For states
with if_id, build_aevent() can fail with -EMSGSIZE and hit BUG_ON(err < 0)
in xfrm_get_ae(), turning a malformed netlink interaction into a kernel
panic.
Account XFRMA_IF_ID in the size calculation unconditionally and replace
the BUG_ON with normal error unwinding.

soc: qcom: pd-mapper: Fix element length in servreg_loc_pfr_req_ei
It looks element length declared in servreg_loc_pfr_req_ei for reason
not matching servreg_loc_pfr_req's reason field due which we could
observe decoding error on PD crash.
qmi_decode_string_elem: String len 81 >= Max Len 65
Fix this by matching with servreg_loc_pfr_req's reason field.

x86: shadow stacks: proper error handling for mmap lock
김영민 reports that shstk_pop_sigframe() doesn't check for errors from
mmap_read_lock_killable(), which is a silly oversight, and also shows
that we haven't marked those functions with "__must_check", which would
have immediately caught it.
So let's fix both issues.

wifi: brcmfmac: validate bsscfg indices in IF events
brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event() validates the firmware-provided interface
index before it touches drvr->iflist[], but it still uses the raw
bsscfgidx field as an array index without a matching range check.
Reject IF events whose bsscfg index does not fit in drvr->iflist[]
before indexing the interface array.
