The problem was that when an error occurred before handlers registration
and after allocating `new_smi->si_sm`, the variable wouldn't be freed in
the error handling afterwards since `shutdown_smi()` hadn't been
registered yet. Fix it by adding a `kfree()` in the error handling path
in `try_smi_init()`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: base: Free devm resources when unregistering a device
In the current code, devres_release_all() only gets called if the device
has a bus and has been probed.
This leads to issues when using bus-less or driver-less devices where
the device might never get freed if a managed resource holds a reference
to the device. This is happening in the DRM framework for example.
We should thus call devres_release_all() in the device_del() function to
make sure that the device-managed actions are properly executed when the
device is unregistered, even if it has neither a bus nor a driver.
This is effectively the same change than commit 2f8d16a996da ("devres:
release resources on device_del()") that got reverted by commit
a525a3ddeaca ("driver core: free devres in device_release") over
memory leaks concerns.
This patch effectively combines the two commits mentioned above to
release the resources both on device_del() and device_release() and get
the best of both worlds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: check for station first in client probe
When probing a client, first check if we have it, and then
check for the channel context, otherwise you can trigger
the warning there easily by probing when the AP isn't even
started yet. Since a client existing means the AP is also
operating, we can then keep the warning.
Also simplify the moved code a bit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix resource leak in device_add()
When calling kobject_add() failed in device_add(), it will call
cleanup_glue_dir() to free resource. But in kobject_add(),
dev->kobj.parent has been set to NULL. This will cause resource leak.
The process is as follows:
device_add()
get_device_parent()
class_dir_create_and_add()
kobject_add() //kobject_get()
...
dev->kobj.parent = kobj;
...
kobject_add() //failed, but set dev->kobj.parent = NULL
...
glue_dir = get_glue_dir(dev) //glue_dir = NULL, and goto
//"Error" label
...
cleanup_glue_dir() //becaues glue_dir is NULL, not call
//kobject_put()
The preceding problem may cause insmod mac80211_hwsim.ko to failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: ubifs_releasepage: Remove ubifs_assert(0) to valid this process
There are two states for ubifs writing pages:
1. Dirty, Private
2. Not Dirty, Not Private
The normal process cannot go to ubifs_releasepage() which means there
exists pages being private but not dirty. Reproducer[1] shows that it
could occur (which maybe related to [2]) with following process:
PA PB PC
lock(page)[PA]
ubifs_write_end
attach_page_private // set Private
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers // set Dirty
unlock(page)
write_cache_pages[PA]
lock(page)
clear_page_dirty_for_io(page) // clear Dirty
ubifs_writepage
do_truncation[PB]
truncate_setsize
i_size_write(inode, newsize) // newsize = 0
i_size = i_size_read(inode) // i_size = 0
end_index = i_size >> PAGE_SHIFT
if (page->index > end_index)
goto out // jump
out:
unlock(page) // Private, Not Dirty
generic_fadvise[PC]
lock(page)
invalidate_inode_page
try_to_release_page
ubifs_releasepage
ubifs_assert(c, 0)
// bad assertion!
unlock(page)
truncate_pagecache[PB]
Then we may get following assertion failed:
UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 1683): ubifs_assert_failed [ubifs]:
UBIFS assert failed: 0, in fs/ubifs/file.c:1513

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Fix multiple LUN_RESET handling
This fixes a bug where an initiator thinks a LUN_RESET has cleaned up
running commands when it hasn't. The bug was added in commit 51ec502a3266
("target: Delete tmr from list before processing").
The problem occurs when:
1. We have N I/O cmds running in the target layer spread over 2 sessions.
2. The initiator sends a LUN_RESET for each session.
3. session1's LUN_RESET loops over all the running commands from both
sessions and moves them to its local drain_task_list.
4. session2's LUN_RESET does not see the LUN_RESET from session1 because
the commit above has it remove itself. session2 also does not see any
commands since the other reset moved them off the state lists.
5. sessions2's LUN_RESET will then complete with a successful response.
6. sessions2's inititor believes the running commands on its session are
now cleaned up due to the successful response and cleans up the running
commands from its side. It then restarts them.
7. The commands do eventually complete on the backend and the target
starts to return aborted task statuses for them. The initiator will
either throw a invalid ITT error or might accidentally lookup a new
task if the ITT has been reallocated already.
Fix the bug by reverting the patch, and serialize the execution of
LUN_RESETs and Preempt and Aborts.
Also prevent us from waiting on LUN_RESETs in core_tmr_drain_tmr_list,
because it turns out the original patch fixed a bug that was not
mentioned. For LUN_RESET1 core_tmr_drain_tmr_list can see a second
LUN_RESET and wait on it. Then the second reset will run
core_tmr_drain_tmr_list and see the first reset and wait on it resulting in
a deadlock.

The root cause is the same as commit 436901649731 ("bpf: cpumap: Fix memory
leak in cpu_map_update_elem"). The kthread is stopped prematurely by
kthread_stop() in cpu_map_kthread_stop(), and kthread() doesn't call
cpu_map_kthread_run() at all but XDP program has already queued some
frames or skbs into ptr_ring. So when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() checks
the ptr_ring, it will find it was not emptied and report a warning.
An alternative fix is to use __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() to drop these
pending frames or skbs when kthread_stop() returns -EINTR, but it may
confuse the user, because these frames or skbs have been handled
correctly by XDP program. So instead of dropping these frames or skbs,
just make sure the per-cpu kthread is running before
__cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns.
After apply the fix, the error handle for kthread_stop() will be
unnecessary because it will always return 0, so just remove it.
