x86/mm: Disallow vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault()
When trying to use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read vsyscall page
through a bpf program, the following oops was reported:

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
The oops is triggered when:
1) A bpf program uses bpf_probe_read_kernel() to read from the vsyscall
page and invokes copy_from_kernel_nofault() which in turn calls
__get_user_asm().
2) Because the vsyscall page address is not readable from kernel space,
a page fault exception is triggered accordingly.
3) handle_page_fault() considers the vsyscall page address as a user
space address instead of a kernel space address. This results in the
fix-up setup by bpf not being applied and a page_fault_oops() is invoked
due to SMAP.
Considering handle_page_fault() has already considered the vsyscall page
address as a userspace address, fix the problem by disallowing vsyscall
page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
This patch is against CVE-2023-6270. The description of cve is:
A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on
`struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing
between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq`
global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or
potential code execution.
In aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), it always calls dev_put(ifp) when skb initial
code is finished. But the net_device ifp will still be used in
later tx()->dev_queue_xmit() in kthread. Which means that the
dev_put(ifp) should NOT be called in the success path of skb
initial code in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). Otherwise tx() may run into
use-after-free because the net_device is freed.
This patch removed the dev_put(ifp) in the success path in
aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), and added dev_put() after skb xmit in tx().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
quota: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Below race may cause NULL pointer dereference
P1 P2
dquot_free_inode quota_off
drop_dquot_ref
remove_dquot_ref
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
dquots = i_dquot(inode)
srcu_read_lock
dquots[cnt]) != NULL (1)
dquots[type] = NULL (2)
spin_lock(&dquots[cnt]->dq_dqb_lock) (3)
....
If dquot_free_inode(or other routines) checks inode's quota pointers (1)
before quota_off sets it to NULL(2) and use it (3) after that, NULL pointer
dereference will be triggered.
So let's fix it by using a temporary pointer to avoid this issue.

vmlinux nf_confirm() + 188
<net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:137>
Due to abnormal data in skb->data, the extension bitmap length
exceeds 32 when decoding ras message then uses the length to make
a shift operation. It will change into negative after several loop.
UBSAN load could detect a negative shift as an undefined behaviour
and reports exception.
So we add the protection to avoid the length exceeding 32. Or else
it will return out of range error and stop decoding.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix WARNING in _copy_from_iter
Syzkaller reports a warning in _copy_from_iter because an
iov_iter is supposedly used in the wrong direction. The reason
is that syzcaller managed to generate a request with
a transfer direction of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV. This instructs
the kernel to copy user buffers into the kernel, read into
the copied buffers and then copy the data back to user space.
Thus the iovec is used in both directions.
Detect this situation in the block layer and construct a new
iterator with the correct direction for the copy-in.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: do not wait in vain when unloading module
The module exit path has race between deleting all controllers and
freeing 'left over IDs'. To prevent double free a synchronization
between nvme_delete_ctrl and ida_destroy has been added by the initial
commit.
There is some logic around trying to prevent from hanging forever in
wait_for_completion, though it does not handling all cases. E.g.
blktests is able to reproduce the situation where the module unload
hangs forever.
If we completely rely on the cleanup code executed from the
nvme_delete_ctrl path, all IDs will be freed eventually. This makes
calling ida_destroy unnecessary. We only have to ensure that all
nvme_delete_ctrl code has been executed before we leave
nvme_fc_exit_module. This is done by flushing the nvme_delete_wq
workqueue.
While at it, remove the unused nvme_fc_wq workqueue too.
