The bug can be reproduced w/ below scripts:
- mount /dev/vdb /mnt1
- mount /dev/vdc /mnt2
- umount /mnt1
- mounnt /dev/vdb /mnt1
The reason is if we created two slab caches, named f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3
and f2fs_xattr_entry-7:7, and they have the same slab size. Actually,
slab system will only create one slab cache core structure which has
slab name of "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3", and two slab caches share the same
structure and cache address.
So, if we destroy f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3 cache w/ cache address, it will
decrease reference count of slab cache, rather than release slab cache
entirely, since there is one more user has referenced the cache.
Then, if we try to create slab cache w/ name "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3" again,
slab system will find that there is existed cache which has the same name
and trigger the warning.
Let's changes to use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache
for fixing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: PM: Fix reverse check in filesystems_freeze_callback()
The freeze_all_ptr check in filesystems_freeze_callback() introduced by
commit a3f8f8662771 ("power: always freeze efivarfs") is reverse which
quite confusingly causes all file systems to be frozen when
filesystem_freeze_enabled is false.
On my systems it causes the WARN_ON_ONCE() in __set_task_frozen() to
trigger, most likely due to an attempt to freeze a file system that is
not ready for that.
Add a logical negation to the check in question to reverse it as
appropriate.

It appears that sometimes it is possible that f2fs_put_super() is called before
all node page reads are completed.
Adding a call to f2fs_wait_on_all_pages() for F2FS_RD_NODE fixes the problem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: Handle incorrect num_connectors capability
The UCSI spec states that the num_connectors field is 7 bits, and the
8th bit is reserved and should be set to zero.
Some buggy FW has been known to set this bit, and it can lead to a
system not booting.
Flag that the FW is not behaving correctly, and auto-fix the value
so that the system boots correctly.
Found on Lenovo P1 G8 during Linux enablement program. The FW will
be fixed, but seemed worth addressing in case it hit platforms that
aren't officially Linux supported.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: ftrace: Fix memory corruption when kernel is located beyond 32 bits
Since commit e424054000878 ("MIPS: Tracing: Reduce the overhead of
dynamic Function Tracer"), the macro UASM_i_LA_mostly has been used,
and this macro can generate more than 2 instructions. At the same
time, the code in ftrace assumes that no more than 2 instructions can
be generated, which is why it stores them in an int[2] array. However,
as previously noted, the macro UASM_i_LA_mostly (and now UASM_i_LA)
causes a buffer overflow when _mcount is beyond 32 bits. This leads to
corruption of the variables located in the __read_mostly section.
This corruption was observed because the variable
__cpu_primary_thread_mask was corrupted, causing a hang very early
during boot.
This fix prevents the corruption by avoiding the generation of
instructions if they could exceed 2 instructions in
length. Fortunately, insn_la_mcount is only used if the instrumented
code is located outside the kernel code section, so dynamic ftrace can
still be used, albeit in a more limited scope. This is still
preferable to corrupting memory and/or crashing the kernel.

In certain Arm CPUs, a CPP RCTX instruction executed on one Processing Element (PE) may inhibit TLB invalidation when a TLBI is issued to the PE, either by the same PE or another PE in the shareability domain. In this case, the PE may retain stale TLB entries which should have been invalidated by the TLBI.
