==================================================================
The problem is that the inode contains an xattr entry with ea_inum of 15
when cleaning up an orphan inode <15>. When evict inode <15>, the reference
counting of the corresponding EA inode is decreased. When EA inode <15> is
found by find_inode_fast() in __ext4_iget(), it is found that the EA inode
holds the I_FREEING flag and waits for the EA inode to complete deletion.
As a result, when inode <15> is being deleted, we wait for inode <15> to
complete the deletion, resulting in an infinite loop and triggering Hung
Task. To solve this problem, we only need to check whether the ino of EA
inode and parent is the same before getting EA inode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix an illegal memory access
In the kfd_wait_on_events() function, the kfd_event_waiter structure is
allocated by alloc_event_waiters(), but the event field of the waiter
structure is not initialized; When copy_from_user() fails in the
kfd_wait_on_events() function, it will enter exception handling to
release the previously allocated memory of the waiter structure;
Due to the event field of the waiters structure being accessed
in the free_waiters() function, this results in illegal memory access
and system crash, here is the crash log:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix ttm_bo calltrace warning in psp_hw_fini
The call trace occurs when the amdgpu is removed after
the mode1 reset. During mode1 reset, from suspend to resume,
there is no need to reinitialize the ta firmware buffer
which caused the bo pin_count increase redundantly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix invalid address access in lookup_rec() when index is 0
KASAN reported follow problem:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in lookup_rec
Read of size 8 at addr ffff000199270ff0 by task modprobe
CPU: 2 Comm: modprobe
Call trace:
kasan_report
__asan_load8
lookup_rec
ftrace_location
arch_check_ftrace_location
check_kprobe_address_safe
register_kprobe
When checking pg->records[pg->index - 1].ip in lookup_rec(), it can get a
pg which is newly added to ftrace_pages_start in ftrace_process_locs().
Before the first pg->index++, index is 0 and accessing pg->records[-1].ip
will cause this problem.
Don't check the ip when pg->index is 0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix steering rules cleanup
vport's mc, uc and multicast rules are not deleted in teardown path when
EEH happens. Since the vport's promisc settings(uc, mc and all) in
firmware are reset after EEH, mlx5 driver will try to delete the above
rules in the initialization path. This cause kernel crash because these
software rules are no longer valid.
Fix by nullifying these rules right after delete to avoid accessing any dangling
pointers.
