dm raid: fix address sanitizer warning in raid_status
There is this warning when using a kernel with the address sanitizer
and running this testsuite:
https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-tests/-/tree/main/storage/swraid/scsi_raid

The warning is caused by reading conf->max_nr_stripes in raid_status. The
code in raid_status reads mddev->private, casts it to struct r5conf and
reads the entry max_nr_stripes.
However, if we have different raid type than 4/5/6, mddev->private
doesn't point to struct r5conf; it may point to struct r0conf, struct
r1conf, struct r10conf or struct mpconf. If we cast a pointer to one
of these structs to struct r5conf, we will be reading invalid memory
and KASAN warns about it.
Fix this bug by reading struct r5conf only if raid type is 4, 5 or 6.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm raid: fix address sanitizer warning in raid_resume
There is a KASAN warning in raid_resume when running the lvm test
lvconvert-raid.sh. The reason for the warning is that mddev->raid_disks
is greater than rs->raid_disks, so the loop touches one entry beyond
the allocated length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: don't allow the same type rq_qos add more than once
In our test of iocost, we encountered some list add/del corruptions of
inner_walk list in ioc_timer_fn.
The reason can be described as follows:
cpu 0 cpu 1
ioc_qos_write ioc_qos_write
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
}
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
...
}
When the io.cost.qos file is written by two cpus concurrently, rq_qos may
be added to one disk twice. In that case, there will be two iocs enabled
and running on one disk. They own different iocgs on their active list. In
the ioc_timer_fn function, because of the iocgs from two iocs have the
same root iocg, the root iocg's walk_list may be overwritten by each other
and this leads to list add/del corruptions in building or destroying the
inner_walk list.
And so far, the blk-rq-qos framework works in case that one instance for
one type rq_qos per queue by default. This patch make this explicit and
also fix the crash above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scpi: Ensure scpi_info is not assigned if the probe fails
When scpi probe fails, at any point, we need to ensure that the scpi_info
is not set and will remain NULL until the probe succeeds. If it is not
taken care, then it could result use-after-free as the value is exported
via get_scpi_ops() and could refer to a memory allocated via devm_kzalloc()
but freed when the probe fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: fix reference count leak in aa_pivotroot()
The aa_pivotroot() function has a reference counting bug in a specific
path. When aa_replace_current_label() returns on success, the function
forgets to decrement the reference count of “target”, which is
increased earlier by build_pivotroot(), causing a reference leak.
Fix it by decreasing the refcount of “target” in that path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: fix aq_vec index out of range error
The final update statement of the for loop exceeds the array range, the
dereference of self->aq_vec[i] is not checked and then leads to the
index out of range error.
Also fixed this kind of coding style in other for loop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: unset reloc control if transaction commit fails in prepare_to_relocate()
In btrfs_relocate_block_group(), the rc is allocated. Then
btrfs_relocate_block_group() calls
relocate_block_group()
prepare_to_relocate()
set_reloc_control()
that assigns rc to the variable fs_info->reloc_ctl. When
prepare_to_relocate() returns, it calls
btrfs_commit_transaction()
btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups()
btrfs_alloc_path()
kmem_cache_zalloc()
which may fail for example (or other errors could happen). When the
failure occurs, btrfs_relocate_block_group() detects the error and frees
rc and doesn't set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL. After that, in
btrfs_init_reloc_root(), rc is retrieved from fs_info->reloc_ctl and
then used, which may cause a use-after-free bug.
This possible bug can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance()
before calling btrfs_ioctl_defrag().
To fix this possible bug, in prepare_to_relocate(), check if
btrfs_commit_transaction() fails. If the failure occurs,
unset_reloc_control() is called to set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL.
The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix adminq error handling
iavf_alloc_asq_bufs/iavf_alloc_arq_bufs allocates with dma_alloc_coherent
memory for VF mailbox.
Free DMA regions for both ASQ and ARQ in case error happens during
configuration of ASQ/ARQ registers.
Without this change it is possible to see when unloading interface:

The issue seems similar to commit 90b3b339364c ("net: hisilicon: Fix a BUG
trigered by wrong bytes_compl") and potentially introduced by commit
b38c83dd0866 ("bgmac: simplify tx ring index handling").
If there is an RX interrupt between setting ring->end
and netdev_sent_queue() we can hit the BUG_ON as bgmac_dma_tx_free()
can miscalculate the queue size while called from bgmac_poll().
The machine which triggered the BUG runs a v4.14 RT kernel - but the issue
seems present in mainline too.
