The command was completed in the abort path during driver unload with a
lock held, causing the warning in abort path. Hence complete the command
without any lock held.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Do not set DRR on pipe Commit
[WHY]
Writing to DRR registers such as OTG_V_TOTAL_MIN on the same frame as a
pipe commit can cause underflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: VMX: Do _all_ initialization before exposing /dev/kvm to userspace
Call kvm_init() only after _all_ setup is complete, as kvm_init() exposes
/dev/kvm to userspace and thus allows userspace to create VMs (and call
other ioctls). E.g. KVM will encounter a NULL pointer when attempting to
add a vCPU to the per-CPU loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list if userspace is able to
create a VM before vmx_init() configures said list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Check kzalloc() in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read()
If kzalloc() fails in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read(), then we rely on
lpfc_read_object()'s routine to NULL check pdata.
Currently, an early return error is thrown from lpfc_read_object() to
protect us from NULL ptr dereference, but the errno code is -ENODEV.
Change the errno code to a more appropriate -ENOMEM.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class handling
This patch fixes a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the HFSC qdisc class
handling. The issue occurs due to a time-of-check/time-of-use condition
in hfsc_change_class() when working with certain child qdiscs like netem
or codel.
The vulnerability works as follows:
1. hfsc_change_class() checks if a class has packets (q.qlen != 0)
2. It then calls qdisc_peek_len(), which for certain qdiscs (e.g.,
codel, netem) might drop packets and empty the queue
3. The code continues assuming the queue is still non-empty, adding
the class to vttree
4. This breaks HFSC scheduler assumptions that only non-empty classes
are in vttree
5. Later, when the class is destroyed, this can lead to a Use-After-Free
The fix adds a second queue length check after qdisc_peek_len() to verify
the queue wasn't emptied.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
codel: remove sch->q.qlen check before qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()
After making all ->qlen_notify() callbacks idempotent, now it is safe to
remove the check of qlen!=0 from both fq_codel_dequeue() and
codel_qdisc_dequeue().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: fdp: Fix potential memory leak in fdp_nci_send()
fdp_nci_send() will call fdp_nci_i2c_write that will not free skb in
the function. As a result, when fdp_nci_i2c_write() finished, the skb
will memleak. fdp_nci_send() should free skb after fdp_nci_i2c_write()
finished.

It is because the fail of roce_gid_mgmt_init() is ignored:
ib_core_init()
roce_gid_mgmt_init()
gid_cache_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue # fail
...
ib_core_cleanup()
roce_gid_mgmt_cleanup()
destroy_workqueue(gid_cache_wq)
# destroy an unallocated wq
Fix this by catching the fail of roce_gid_mgmt_init() in ib_core_init().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nxp-nci: Fix potential memory leak in nxp_nci_send()
nxp_nci_send() will call nxp_nci_i2c_write(), and only free skb when
nxp_nci_i2c_write() failed. However, even if the nxp_nci_i2c_write()
run succeeds, the skb will not be freed in nxp_nci_i2c_write(). As the
result, the skb will memleak. nxp_nci_send() should also free the skb
when nxp_nci_i2c_write() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()
During backref walking, at find_parent_nodes(), if we are dealing with a
data extent and we get an error while resolving the indirect backrefs, at
resolve_indirect_refs(), or in the while loop that iterates over the refs
in the direct refs rbtree, we end up leaking the inode lists attached to
the direct refs we have in the direct refs rbtree that were not yet added
to the refs ulist passed as argument to find_parent_nodes(). Since they
were not yet added to the refs ulist and prelim_release() does not free
the lists, on error the caller can only free the lists attached to the
refs that were added to the refs ulist, all the remaining refs get their
inode lists never freed, therefore leaking their memory.
Fix this by having prelim_release() always free any attached inode list
to each ref found in the rbtree, and have find_parent_nodes() set the
ref's inode list to NULL once it transfers ownership of the inode list
to a ref added to the refs ulist passed to find_parent_nodes().
