If drop_monitor is built as a kernel module, syzkaller may have time
to send a netlink NET_DM_CMD_START message during the module loading.
This will call the net_dm_monitor_start() function that uses
a spinlock that has not yet been initialized.
To fix this, let's place resource initialization above the registration
of a generic netlink family.
Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: f_midi: f_midi_complete to call queue_work
When using USB MIDI, a lock is attempted to be acquired twice through a
re-entrant call to f_midi_transmit, causing a deadlock.
Fix it by using queue_work() to schedule the inner f_midi_transmit() via
a high priority work queue from the completion handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
acct: perform last write from workqueue
In [1] it was reported that the acct(2) system call can be used to
trigger NULL deref in cases where it is set to write to a file that
triggers an internal lookup. This can e.g., happen when pointing acc(2)
to /sys/power/resume. At the point the where the write to this file
happens the calling task has already exited and called exit_fs(). A
lookup will thus trigger a NULL-deref when accessing current->fs.
Reorganize the code so that the the final write happens from the
workqueue but with the caller's credentials. This preserves the
(strange) permission model and has almost no regression risk.
This api should stop to exist though.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_midi: fix MIDI Streaming descriptor lengths
While the MIDI jacks are configured correctly, and the MIDIStreaming
endpoint descriptors are filled with the correct information,
bNumEmbMIDIJack and bLength are set incorrectly in these descriptors.
This does not matter when the numbers of in and out ports are equal, but
when they differ the host will receive broken descriptors with
uninitialized stack memory leaking into the descriptor for whichever
value is smaller.
The precise meaning of "in" and "out" in the port counts is not clearly
defined and can be confusing. But elsewhere the driver consistently
uses this to match the USB meaning of IN and OUT viewed from the host,
so that "in" ports send data to the host and "out" ports receive data
from it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE
There is a WARN_ON_ONCE to catch an unlikely situation when
domain_remove_dev_pasid can't find the `pasid`. In case it nevertheless
happens we must avoid using a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tomoyo: don't emit warning in tomoyo_write_control()
syzbot is reporting too large allocation warning at tomoyo_write_control(),
for one can write a very very long line without new line character. To fix
this warning, I use __GFP_NOWARN rather than checking for KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE,
for practically a valid line should be always shorter than 32KB where the
"too small to fail" memory-allocation rule applies.
One might try to write a valid line that is longer than 32KB, but such
request will likely fail with -ENOMEM. Therefore, I feel that separately
returning -EINVAL when a line is longer than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is redundant.
There is no need to distinguish over-32KB and over-KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: skip dumping tnc tree when zroot is null
Clearing slab cache will free all znode in memory and make
c->zroot.znode = NULL, then dumping tnc tree will access
c->zroot.znode which cause null pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtlwifi: fix memory leaks and invalid access at probe error path
Deinitialize at reverse order when probe fails.
When init_sw_vars fails, rtl_deinit_core should not be called, specially
now that it destroys the rtl_wq workqueue.
And call rtl_pci_deinit and deinit_sw_vars, otherwise, memory will be
leaked.
Remove pci_set_drvdata call as it will already be cleaned up by the core
driver code and could lead to memory leaks too. cf. commit 8d450935ae7f
("wireless: rtlwifi: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()") and
commit 3d86b93064c7 ("rtlwifi: Fix PCI probe error path orphaned memory").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix race at SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC
There is a small race window at snd_pcm_oss_sync() that is called from
OSS PCM SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl; namely the function calls
snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() at first, then takes the params_lock mutex
for the rest. When the stream is set up again by another thread
between them, it leads to inconsistency, and may result in unexpected
results such as NULL dereference of OSS buffer as a fuzzer spotted
recently.
The fix is simply to cover snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() call into the same
params_lock mutex with snd_pcm_oss_make_ready_locked() variant.
