In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/ww_mutex/test: Fix potential workqueue corruption
In some cases running with the test-ww_mutex code, I was seeing
odd behavior where sometimes it seemed flush_workqueue was
returning before all the work threads were finished.
Often this would cause strange crashes as the mutexes would be
freed while they were being used.
Looking at the code, there is a lifetime problem as the
controlling thread that spawns the work allocates the
"struct stress" structures that are passed to the workqueue
threads. Then when the workqueue threads are finished,
they free the stress struct that was passed to them.
Unfortunately the workqueue work_struct node is in the stress
struct. Which means the work_struct is freed before the work
thread returns and while flush_workqueue is waiting.
It seems like a better idea to have the controlling thread
both allocate and free the stress structures, so that we can
be sure we don't corrupt the workqueue by freeing the structure
prematurely.
So this patch reworks the test to do so, and with this change
I no longer see the early flush_workqueue returns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panel: fix a possible null pointer dereference
In versatile_panel_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate()
is assigned to mode, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference
on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix a race condition of vram buffer unref in svm code
prange->svm_bo unref can happen in both mmu callback and a callback after
migrate to system ram. Both are async call in different tasks. Sync svm_bo
unref operation to avoid random "use-after-free".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix possible out-of-bound read in ath12k_htt_pull_ppdu_stats()
len is extracted from HTT message and could be an unexpected value in
case errors happen, so add validation before using to avoid possible
out-of-bound read in the following message iteration and parsing.
The same issue also applies to ppdu_info->ppdu_stats.common.num_users,
so validate it before using too.
These are found during code review.
Compile test only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpu/hotplug: Don't offline the last non-isolated CPU
If a system has isolated CPUs via the "isolcpus=" command line parameter,
then an attempt to offline the last housekeeping CPU will result in a
WARN_ON() when rebuilding the scheduler domains and a subsequent panic due
to and unhandled empty CPU mas in partition_sched_domains_locked().
cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
rebuild_sched_domains_locked()
ndoms = generate_sched_domains(&doms, &attr);
cpumask_and(doms[0], top_cpuset.effective_cpus, housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_DOMAIN));
Thus results in an empty CPU mask which triggers the warning and then the
subsequent crash:
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 80 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2366 build_sched_domains+0x120c/0x1408
Call trace:

Aside of the resulting crash, it does not make any sense to offline the last
last housekeeping CPU.
Prevent this by masking out the non-housekeeping CPUs when selecting a
target CPU for initiating the CPU unplug operation via the work queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: don't return unset power in ieee80211_get_tx_power()

that no data is available.

scsi: libfc: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in fc_lport_ptp_setup()
fc_lport_ptp_setup() did not check the return value of fc_rport_create()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/jfs: Add check for negative db_l2nbperpage
l2nbperpage is log2(number of blks per page), and the minimum legal
value should be 0, not negative.
In the case of l2nbperpage being negative, an error will occur
when subsequently used as shift exponent.
Syzbot reported this bug:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c:799:12
shift exponent -16777216 is negative
