6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
commit 81ccda30b4e83d8f5cc4fd50503c44e3a33abfeb upstream.
Commit 0cb2af2ea66ad ("KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due
to unexpected GFN") fixed a shadow paging mismatch between stored and
computed GFNs; the bug could be triggered by changing a PDE mapping from
outside the guest, and then deleting a memslot. The rmap_remove()
call would miss entries created after the PDE change because the GFN
of the leaf SPTE does not match the GFN of the struct kvm_mmu_page.
A similar hole however remains if the modified PDE points to a non-leaf
page. In this case the gfn can be made to match, but the role does not
match: the original large 2MB page creates a kvm_mmu_page with direct=1,
while the new 4KB needs a kvm_mmu_page with direct=0. However,
kvm_mmu_get_child_sp() does not compare the role, and therefore reuses
the page.
The next step is installing a leaf (4KB) SPTE on the new path which
records an rmap entry under the gfn resolved by the walk. But when
that child is zapped its parent kvm_mmu_page has direct=1 and
kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn() computes the gfn for the 4KB page as
sp->gfn + index instead of using sp->shadowed_translation[] (or sp->gfns[]
in older kernels). It therefore fails to remove the recorded entry.
When the memslot is dropped the shadow page is freed but the rmap
entry survives, as in the scenario that was already fixed. Code that
later walks that gfn (dirty logging, MMU notifier invalidation, and
so on) dereferences an sptep that lies in the freed page, causing the
use-after-free.
Fixes: 2032a93d66fa ("KVM: MMU: Don't allocate gfns page for direct mmu pages")

[ Upstream commit 6af36aeb147a06dea47c49859cd6ca5659aeb987 ]
Stacked filesystems such as overlayfs do not currently provide the
necessary mechanisms for LSMs to properly enforce access controls on the
mmap() and mprotect() operations. In order to resolve this gap, a LSM
security blob is being added to the backing_file struct and the following
new LSM hooks are being created:
security_backing_file_alloc()
security_backing_file_free()
security_mmap_backing_file()
The first two hooks are to manage the lifecycle of the LSM security blob
in the backing_file struct, while the third provides a new mmap() access
control point for the underlying backing file. It is also expected that
LSMs will likely want to update their security_file_mprotect() callback
to address issues with their mprotect() controls, but that does not
require a change to the security_file_mprotect() LSM hook.
There are a three other small changes to support these new LSM hooks:
* Pass the user file associated with a backing file down to
alloc_empty_backing_file() so it can be included in the
security_backing_file_alloc() hook.
* Add getter and setter functions for the backing_file struct LSM blob
as the backing_file struct remains private to fs/file_table.c.
* Constify the file struct field in the LSM common_audit_data struct to
better support LSMs that need to pass a const file struct pointer into
the common LSM audit code.
Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for identifying the missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
and supplying a fixup.

From: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
[ Upstream commit 82544d36b1729153c8aeb179e84750f0c085d3b1 ]
The existing SELinux security model for overlayfs is to allow access if
the current task is able to access the top level file (the "user" file)
and the mounter's credentials are sufficient to access the lower
level file (the "backing" file). Unfortunately, the current code does
not properly enforce these access controls for both mmap() and mprotect()
operations on overlayfs filesystems.
This patch makes use of the newly created security_mmap_backing_file()
LSM hook to provide the missing backing file enforcement for mmap()
operations, and leverages the backing file API and new LSM blob to
provide the necessary information to properly enforce the mprotect()
access controls.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>
[ Upstream commit 0b474240327cebeff08ad429e8ed3cfc6c8ee816 ]
The F_GETLK fcntl can work with either read access or write access or
both. It can query F_RDLCK and F_WRLCK locks in either case.
However lockd currently treats F_GETLK similar to F_SETLK in that read
access is required to query an F_RDLCK lock and write access is required
to query a F_WRLCK lock.
This is wrong and can cause problems - e.g. when qemu accesses a
read-only (e.g. iso) filesystem image over NFS (though why it queries
if it can get a write lock - I don't know. But it does, and this works
with local filesystems).
So we need TEST requests to be handled differently. To do this:
- change nlm_do_fopen() to accept O_RDWR as a mode and in that case
succeed if either a O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY file can be opened.
- change nlm_lookup_file() to accept a mode argument from caller,
instead of deducing base on lock time, and pass that on to nlm_do_fopen()
- change nlm4svc_retrieve_args() and nlmsvc_retrieve_args() to detect
TEST requests and pass O_RDWR as a mode to nlm_lookup_file, passing
the same mode as before for other requests. Also set
lock->fl.c.flc_file to whichever file is available for TEST requests.
- change nlmsvc_testlock() to also not calculate the mode, but to use
whatever was stored in lock->fl.c.flc_file.
This behaviour of lockd - requesting O_WRONLY access to TEST for
exclusive locks - has been present at least since git history began.
However it was hidden until recently because knfsd ignored the access
requested by lockd and required only READ access for all locking
requests (unless the underlying filesystem provided an f_op->open
function which checked access permissions).
The commit mentioned in Fixes: below changed nfsd_permission() to NOT
override the access request for LOCK requests and this exposed the bug
that we are now fixing.
Note that there is another issue that this patch does not address.
The flock(.., LOCK_EX) call is permitted on a read-only file descriptor.
Linux NFS maps this to NLM locking as whole-file byte-range locks.
nfsd will see this as though it were fcntl( F_SETLK (F_WRLCK)) and will
now require write access, which it might not be able to get.
It is not clear if this is a problem in practice, or what the best
solution might be. So no attempt is made to address it.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 5aa8651527ea0b610e7a09fb3b8204c1398b9525 upstream.
When batadv_tp_handle_out_of_order inserts a new entry in the list of
unacked (out of order) packets, it searches from the entry with the newest
sequence number towards oldest sequence number. If an entry is found which
is older than the newly entry, the new entry has to be added after the
found one to keep the ascending order.
But for this operation list_add_tail() was used. But this function adds an
entry _before_ another one. As result, the list would contain a lot of
swapped sequence numbers. The consumer of this list
(batadv_tp_ack_unordered()) would then fail to correctly ack packets.

commit b2b68b32a715e0328662801576974aa37b942b00 upstream.
When an ack with a sequence number equal to the last_acked is received, the
dup_acks counter is increased to decide whether fast retransmit should be
performed. Only when the sequence numbers are not equal, the dup_acks is
set to the initial value (0).
But if the initial packet would have the sequence number
BATADV_TP_FIRST_SEQ, dup_acks would not be initialized and atomic_inc would
operate on an undefined starting value. It is therefore required to have it
explicitly initialized during the start of the sender session.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 765947b81fb54b6ebb0bc1cfe55c0fa399e002b8 upstream.
In batadv_tp_avail(), win_left is calculated with 32-bit unsigned
arithmetic: win_left = win_limit - tp_vars->last_sent;
During Fast Recovery, cwnd is inflated and last_sent advances rapidly. When
Fast Recovery ends, cwnd drops abruptly back to ss_threshold. If the newly
shrunk win_limit is less than last_sent, the unsigned subtraction will
underflow, wrapping to a massive positive value. Instead of returning that
the window is full (unavailable), it returns that the sender can continue
sending.
To handle this situation, it must be checked whether the windows end
sequence number (win_limit) has to be compared with the last sent sequence
number. If it would be before the last sent sequence number, then more acks
are needed before the transmission can be started again.

------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 33ccd52f3cc9ed46ce395199f89aa3234dc83314 upstream.
The cwnd is always MSS <= cwnd <= 0x20000000. But the calculation in
batadv_tp_update_cwnd() assumes unsigned 32 bit arithmetics.
((mss * 8) ** 2) / (cwnd * 8)
In case cwnd is actually 0x20000000, it will be shifted by 3 bit to the
left end up at 0x100000000 or U32_MAX + 1. It will therefore wrap around
and be 0 - resulting in:
((mss * 8) ** 2) / 0
This is of course invalid and cannot be calculated. The calculation should
must be simplified to avoid this overflow:
(mss ** 2) * 8 / cwnd
It will keep the precision enhancement from the scaling (by 8) but avoid
the overflow in the divisor.
In theory, there could still be an overflow in the dividend. It is at the
moment fixed to BATADV_TP_PLEN in batadv_tp_recv_ack() - so it is not an
imminent problem. But allowing it to use the whole u32 bit range, would
mean that it can still use up to 67 bits. To keep this calculation safe for
32 bit arithmetic, mss must never use more than floor((32 - 3) / 2) bits -
or in other words: must never be larger than 16383.

------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 2b0d08f08ed3b2174f05c43089ec65f3543a025b upstream.
The fast recovery precondition checks if the recover (initialized to
BATADV_TP_FIRST_SEQ) is bigger than the received ack. But since recover is
only updated when this check is successful, it will never enter the fast
recovery mode.
According to RFC6582 Section 3.2 step 2, the check should actually be
different:
> When the third duplicate ACK is received, the TCP sender first
> checks the value of recover to see if the Cumulative
> Acknowledgment field covers more than recover
The precondition must therefore check if recover is smaller than the
received ack - basically swapping the operands of the current check.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit f54c85ed42a1b27a516cf2a4728f5a612b799e07 upstream.
The recover variable and the last_sent sequence number are initialized on
purpose as a really high value which will wrap-around after the first 2000
bytes. The fast recovery precondition must therefore not use simple integer
comparisons but use helpers which are aware of the sequence number
wrap-arounds.

------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 15ccbf685222274f5add1387af58c2a41a95f81e upstream.
When the receiver variables (aka "session") are initialized, then they are
added to the list of sessions before the timer is set up. A RCU protected
reader could therefore find the entry and run mod_setup before
batadv_tp_init_recv() finished the timer initialization.
The same is true for batadv_tp_start(), which must first initialize the
finish_work and the test_length to avoid a similar problem.

------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 98b0fb191c878a64cbaebfe231d96d57576acf8c upstream.
The lasttime field for claim, backbone_gw, and loopdetect tracks the
jiffies value of the most recent activity and is used to detect timeouts.
These accesses are not consistently protected by a lock, so
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE must be used to prevent data races caused by compiler
optimizations.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 5e50d4b8ae3ea622122d3c6a38d7f6fe68dfddca upstream.
batadv_v_elp_start_timer() enqeues a delayed work. The time when it starts
is randomly chosen between (elp_interval - BATADV_JITTER) and
(elp_interval + BATADV_JITTER). The configured elp_interval must therefore
be larger or equal to BATADV_JITTER to avoid that it causes an underflow of
the unsigned integer. If this would happen, then a "fast" ELP interval
would turn into a "day long" delay.
At the same time, it must not be larger than the maximum value the variable
can store.

------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 811cb00fa8cdc3f0a7f6eefc000a6888367c8c8f upstream.
The last_recv_time is the most important indicator for a receiver session
to figure out whether a session timed out or not. But this information was
only initialized after the session was added to the tp_receiver_list and
after the timer was started.
In the worst case, the timer (function) could have tried to access this
information before the actual initialization was reached. Like rest of the
variables of the tp_meter receiver session, this field has to be filled out
before any other (parallel running) context has the chance to access it.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit df97a7107b16375a10a36d7a63e9b4291a8ac680 upstream.
The batadv_hardif_cnt() was previously checking if there is an
batadv_hard_iface->mesh_iface which is has the same mesh_iface. And since
batadv_hardif_disable_interface() was resetting the
batadv_hard_iface->mesh_iface after this check, it had to verify whether
*1* interface was still part of the mesh_iface before it started the
gateway deselection.
But after batadv_hardif_cnt() is now checking the lower interfaces of
mesh_iface and batadv_hardif_disable_interface() already removed the
interface via netdev_upper_dev_unlink() earlier in this function, the check
must now make sure that *0* interfaces can be found by batadv_hardif_cnt()
before selected gateway must be deselected. Otherwise the deselection would
already happen one batadv_hard_iface too early.
Because a 0 hardif count from batadv_hardif_cnt() is equal to an empty
list, it is possible to replace the counting with a simple list_empty().

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 4cd6d3a4b96a8576f1fed8f9f9f17c2dc2978e0c upstream.
Before batman-adv is allowed to write to an skb, it either has to have its
own copy of the skb or used skb_cow() to ensure that the data part is not
shared.
The old implementation used a shared queue and created copies before
attempting to write to it. But with the new implementation, the broadcast
packet is already modified when it gets received. Potentially writing to
shared buffers in this process.
Adding a skb_cow() right before this operation avoids this and can at the
same time prepare it for the modifications required to rebroadcast the
packet.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit e728bbdf32660c8f32b8f5e8d09427a2c131ad60 upstream.
The broadcast and multicast packets can be received at the same time by the
local system and forwarded to other nodes. Both are simply decrementing the
TTL at the beginning of the receive path - independent of chosen paths
(receive/forward). But such a modification of the data conflicts with the
hw csum. This is not a problem when the packet is directly forwarded but
can cause errors in the local receive path.
Such a problem can then trigger a "hw csum failure". The receiver path must
therefore ensure that the csum is fixed for each modification of the
payload before batadv_interface_rx() is reached.
Since all batman-adv packet types with a ttl have it as u8 at offset 2, a
helper can be used for all of them. But it is only used at the moment for
batadv_bcast_packet and batadv_mcast_packet because they are the only ones
which deliver the packet locally but unconditionally modify the TTL.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 493d9d2528e1a09b090e4b37f0f553def7bd5ce9 upstream.
Packets with a TTL are using it to limit the amount of time this packet can
be forwarded. But for batadv_frag_packet, the TTL was always only reduced
but it was never evaluated. It could even underflow without any effect.
Check the TTL in batadv_frag_skb_fwd() before attempting to prepare it for
forwarding. This keeps it in sync with the not fragmented unicast packet.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit d11c00b95b2a3b3934007fc003dccc6fdcc061ad upstream.
When an interface gets disabled, the worker is correctly disabled by
batadv_hardif_disable_interface() -> ... -> batadv_v_ogm_iface_disable().
In this process, the skb aggr_list is also freed.
But batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() can still queue new skbs (via
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if()) to the aggr_list. This will only stop after all
cores can no longer find the RCU protected list of hard interfaces. These
queued skbs will never be freed or consumed by batadv_v_ogm_aggr_work.
The batadv_v_ogm_iface_disable() function must block
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() to avoid leak of skbs.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit e7c775110e1858e5a7471a23a9c9658c0af9df89 upstream.
When the unacked_list is unbound, an attacker could send messages with
small lengths and appropriated seqno + gaps to force the receiver to
allocate more and more unacked_list entries. And the end either causing an
out-of-memory situation or increase the management overhead for the (large)
list that significant portions of CPU cycles are wasted in searching
through the list.
When limiting the list to a specific number, it is important to still
correctly add a new entry to the list. But if the list became larger than
the limit, the last entry of the list (with the highest seqno) must be
dropped to still allow the earlier seqnos to finish and therefore to
continue the process. Otherwise, the process might get stuck with too high
seqnos which are not handled by batadv_tp_ack_unordered().

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit d67c728f07fca2ee6ffdc6dd4421cf2e8691f4d1 upstream.
The last_recv_time field for batadv_tp_receiver tracks the jiffies value of
the most recent activity and is used to detect timeouts. These accesses are
not consistently protected by a lock, so READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE must be used
to prevent data races caused by compiler optimizations.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 6dde0cfcb36e4d5b3de35b75696937478441eed4 upstream.
When last_recv is updated to store the last receive sequence number, it is
assuming that nothing is modifying in parallel while:
* check for outdated packets is done
* out of order check is performed (and packets are stored in out-of-order
queue)
* the out-of-order queue was searched for closed gaps
* sequence number for next ack is calculated
Nothing of that was actually protected. It could therefore happen that the
last_recv was updated multiple times in parallel and the final sequence
number was calculated with deltas which had no connection to the sequence
number they were added to.
Lock this whole region with the same lock which was already used to protect
the unacked (out-of-order) list.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit cbde75c38b21f022891525078622587ad557b7c1 upstream.
If the size of the packets would change during the transmission, it could
happen that some retries of packets are overlapping. In this case, precise
comparisons of sequence numbers by the receiver would be wrong. It is then
necessary to check if the start sequence number to the end sequence number
("seqno + length") would contain a new range.
If this is the case then this is enough to accept this packet. In all other
cases, the packet still has to be dropped (and not acked).

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit f08e06c2d5c3e2434e7c773f2213f4a7dce6bc1e upstream.
batadv_tt_local_event() merges/cancels events for the same client which
would conflict or be duplicates. The matching of the queued events only
compares the MAC address - the VLAN ID stored in each event is ignored.
If a MAC would now appear on multiple VID, the two ADD change events (for
VID 1 and VID 2) would be merged to a single vid event. The remote can
therefore not calculate the correct TT table and desync. A full translation
table exchange is required to recover from this state.
A check of VID is therefore necessary to avoid such wrong merges/cancels.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 12407d5f61c2653a64f2ff4b22f3c267f8420ef1 upstream.
batadv_tt_check_roam_count() is supposed to track roaming of a TT entry.
But TT entries are for a MAC + VID. The VID was completely missed and thus
leads to incorrect detection of ROAM counts when a client MAC exists in
multiple VLANs.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 20d7658b74169f86d4ac01b9185b3eadddf71f28 upstream.
The local hash of DAT entries is supposed to be VLAN (VID) aware. But
the adding to the hash and the search in the hash were not checking the VID
information of the hash entries. The entries would therefore only be
correctly separated when batadv_hash_dat() didn't select the same buckets
for different VIDs.

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit 32a6799255525d6ea4da0f7e9e0e521ad9560a46 upstream.
The fields of an aggregated OGM(v2) are accessed assuming (at least) 2-byte
alignment, so a following OGM must start at an even offset. As the header
length is even, an odd tvlv_len would misalign it and trigger unaligned
accesses on strict-alignment architectures.
Such a misaligned TVLV/OGM/OGMv2 is not created by a normal participant in
the mesh. Therefore, reject such malformed packets.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
commit edb557b2ba38fea2c5eb710cf366c797e187218c upstream.
TVLV handlers can have the flag BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CIFNOTFND set to
signal that the OGM handler should be called (with NULL for data) when the
specific TVLV container was not found in the OGM. This is used by:
* DAT
* GW
* Multicast (OGM + Tracker)
The state whether the handler was executed was stored in the struct
batadv_tvlv_handler. But the TVLV processing is started without any lock.
Multiple parallel contexts processing TVLVs would therefore overwrite each
others BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CALLED flag in the shared
batadv_tvlv_handler.
Drop the shared BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CALLED flag and instead determine,
per TVLV buffer, whether a matching container was present by scanning the
packet's buffer.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wongi Lee <qw3rtyp0@gmail.com>
commit 736b380e28d0480c7bc3e022f1950f31fe53a7c5 upstream.
In __ip6_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken
(MSG_MORE / NETIF_F_SG / large fraglen), alloclen and pagedlen are
computed as
alloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen;
pagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen;
datalen already includes fraggap (datalen = length + fraggap). When
fraggap is non-zero, this is not the first skb and transhdrlen is zero.
The fraggap bytes carried over from the previous skb are copied just past
the fragment headers in the new skb's linear area. The linear area is
therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is overstated by the
same amount, and the copy writes past skb->end into the trailing
skb_shared_info.
An unprivileged user can trigger this via a UDPv6 socket using
MSG_MORE together with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.
The bad accounting was introduced by commit 773ba4fe9104 ("ipv6:
avoid partial copy for zc"). Before commit ce650a166335 ("udp6: Fix
__ip6_append_data()'s handling of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES"), the negative
copy value caused -EINVAL to be returned. That later commit allowed
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to proceed in this case, making the corruption
triggerable.
The non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts
for fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by
adding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen.
After this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the
paged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic.
Since a negative copy is no longer expected for a valid MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
case, remove the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES exception from the negative copy check.

------------------
From: Konstantin Komarov <almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com>
commit 5b08dccecf825cbf905f348bc6ccb497507e28e2 upstream.
NTFS3 uses $LXUID, $LXGID, $LXMOD and $LXDEV as internal WSL
permission metadata and reloads them into i_uid, i_gid and i_mode
from ntfs_get_wsl_perm().
Because the empty-prefix xattr handler also lets file owners call
setxattr() on these names directly, an unprivileged writer on a
writable ntfs3 mount can plant root ownership and S_ISUID on their own
file and gain euid 0 after inode reload.
Reject direct userspace writes to the reserved $LX* names. Internal
ntfs3 metadata updates are unchanged because ntfs_save_wsl_perm()
writes them via ntfs_set_ea() directly.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Doruk Tan Ozturk <doruk@0sec.ai>
commit 84a04eb5b210643bd67aab81ff805d32f62aa865 upstream.
llsec_do_encrypt_unauth(), llsec_do_encrypt_auth(),
llsec_do_decrypt_unauth(), and llsec_do_decrypt_auth() all perform
in-place cryptographic transformations on skb data. They build a
scatterlist with sg_init_one() pointing into the skb's linear data area
and then pass the same scatterlist as both src and dst to the crypto API
(e.g. crypto_skcipher_encrypt/decrypt, crypto_aead_encrypt/decrypt).
On the RX path, __ieee802154_rx_handle_packet() clones the received skb
before handing it to each subscriber via ieee802154_subif_frame(). The
cloned skb shares the same underlying data buffer via reference
counting. When llsec_do_decrypt() subsequently modifies this shared
buffer in place, it corrupts data that other clones -- potentially
belonging to other sockets or subsystems -- still reference.
On the TX path, similar data sharing can occur when an skb's head has
been cloned (skb_cloned() returns true).
The fix is to call skb_cow_data() before performing any in-place crypto
operation. skb_cow_data() ensures that the skb's data area is not
shared: if the skb head is cloned or the data spans multiple fragments,
it copies the data into a private buffer that can be safely modified in
place. This is the same pattern used by:
- ESP (net/ipv4/esp4.c, net/ipv6/esp6.c)
- MACsec (drivers/net/macsec.c)
- WireGuard (drivers/net/wireguard/receive.c)
- TIPC (net/tipc/crypto.c)
Without this guard, in-place crypto on shared skb data leads to:
- Silent data corruption of other skb clones
- Use-after-free when the crypto API scatterwalk writes through a
page that has already been freed by another clone's kfree_skb()
- Kernel crashes under concurrent 802.15.4 traffic with security
enabled (KASAN/KMSAN reports slab-use-after-free)
Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yiming Qian <yimingqian591@gmail.com>
commit 406e8a651a7b854c41fecd5117bb282b3a6c2c6b upstream.
The sk_msg sg.copy bitmap is part of the scatterlist entry ownership
state. A set bit tells sk_msg_compute_data_pointers() not to expose the
entry through writable BPF ctx->data. This protects entries backed by
pages that are not private to the sk_msg, such as splice-backed file
page-cache pages.
Several sk_msg transform paths move, copy, split, or compact
msg->sg.data[] entries without moving the matching sg.copy bit. This can
make an externally backed entry arrive at a new slot with a clear copy
bit. A later SK_MSG verdict can then expose sg_virt(sge) as writable
ctx->data and BPF stores can modify the original page cache.
Keep sg.copy synchronized with sg.data[] whenever entries are
transferred, shifted, split, or copied into a new sk_msg. Clear the bit
when an entry is replaced by a newly allocated private page or freed.
This covers the BPF pull/push/pop helpers, sk_msg_shift_left/right(),
sk_msg_xfer(), and tls_split_open_record(), including the partial tail
entry created during TLS open-record splitting.
Fixes: d3b18ad31f93 ("tls: add bpf support to sk_msg handling")

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Maoyi Xie <maoyixie.tju@gmail.com>
commit 8165f7ff57d9667d2bb477ef6af83ede7fed4ad7 upstream.
A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and
the tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in
or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.
Add rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() next to rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() in
net/core/rtnetlink.c. It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the link netns and is
skipped when the link netns is dev_net(dev), where the rtnl path already
checked it. The other patches in this series use the same helper.
Gate ipgre_changelink() and erspan_changelink() with it, at the top of
the op before any attribute is parsed, because the parsers update live
tunnel fields first. ipgre_netlink_parms() sets t->collect_md before
ip_tunnel_changelink() runs.
Commit 8b484efd5cb4 ("ip6: vti: Use ip6_tnl.net in
vti6_siocdevprivate().") added the same check on the ioctl path. This
adds it on RTM_NEWLINK.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bryam Vargas <hexlabsecurity@proton.me>
commit 4d587cd8a72155089a627130bbd4716ec0856e21 upstream.
sendmsg()/sendto() with MSG_FASTOPEN is a combination of connect(2) and
write(2): it opens the connection in the SYN. apparmor_socket_sendmsg()
only checks AA_MAY_SEND, so a profile that grants send but denies connect
lets a confined task open an outbound TCP/MPTCP connection that connect(2)
would have refused, bypassing connect mediation.
Mediate the implicit connect when MSG_FASTOPEN is set and a destination
is supplied. Add it to apparmor_socket_sendmsg() (not the shared
aa_sock_msg_perm() helper, which recvmsg also uses) and call aa_sk_perm()
directly, mirroring the selinux and tomoyo fixes. sk_is_tcp() does not
cover MPTCP fast open, so the SOCK_STREAM/IPPROTO_MPTCP arm is explicit.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ruslan Valiyev <linuxoid@gmail.com>
commit 6f060496d03e4dc560a40f73770bd08335cb7a27 upstream.
aa_replace_profiles() walks ns->rawdata_list to dedup the incoming
policy blob against entries already attached to existing profiles.
Per the kernel-doc on struct aa_loaddata, list membership does not
hold a reference: profiles hold pcount, and when the last pcount
drops, do_ploaddata_rmfs() is queued on a workqueue that takes
ns->lock and removes the entry. Between dropping the last pcount
and the workqueue running, an entry remains on the list with
pcount == 0.
aa_get_profile_loaddata() is an unconditional kref_get() on
pcount, so when the dedup loop hits such an entry, refcount
hardening reports
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
inside aa_replace_profiles(), and the poisoned counter then
trips "saturated" and "underflow" warnings on the subsequent
uses of the same loaddata.
Before commit a0b7091c4de4 ("apparmor: fix race on rawdata
dereference") the dedup path used a get_unless_zero-style helper
on a single counter, so the existing "if (tmp)" guard was
meaningful. The split-refcount refactor introduced
aa_get_profile_loaddata(), which has plain kref_get() semantics,
and the guard quietly became a no-op.
Introduce aa_get_profile_loaddata_not0(), matching the existing
_not0 convention used by aa_get_profile_not0(), and use it for
the rawdata_list dedup lookup so dying entries are skipped.
Reproduced on x86_64 with v7.1-rc5 in QEMU+KVM running Ubuntu
24.04 + stress-ng 0.17.06:
stress-ng --apparmor 1 --klog-check --timeout 60s
Without this patch the three refcount_t warnings fire within a
few seconds. With it the same 60 s run is clean. Coverage is a
smoke-test only; a longer soak with CONFIG_KASAN, CONFIG_KCSAN

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Koichiro Den <den@valinux.co.jp>
commit d876153680e3d721d385e554def919bce3d18c74 upstream.
When BAR_PEER_SPAD and BAR_CONFIG share one PCI BAR, the module teardown
path ends up calling pci_iounmap() on the same iomem with some offset,
which is unnecessary and triggers a kernel warning like the following:
Trying to vunmap() nonexistent vm area (0000000069a5ffe8)
WARNING: mm/vmalloc.c:3470 at vunmap+0x58/0x68, CPU#5: modprobe/2937

Fix it by unmapping only when PEER_SPAD and CONFIG use difference bars.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ian Bridges <icb@fastmail.org>
commit 2c1c805c65fb7dc7524e20376d6987721e73a0b1 upstream.
store_modes() replaces a framebuffer's modelist with modes from userspace.
On success it frees the old modelist with fb_destroy_modelist(). Two
fields still point into that freed list.
One pointer is fb_display[i].mode, the mode a console is using.
fbcon_new_modelist() moves these pointers to the new list. It only does so
for consoles still mapped to the framebuffer. An unmapped console is
skipped and keeps its stale pointer. Unbinding fbcon, for example, sets
con2fb_map[i] to -1 but leaves fb_display[i].mode set. An
FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl with FB_ACTIVATE_INV_MODE later reaches
fbcon_mode_deleted(). That function reads the stale fb_display[i].mode
through fb_mode_is_equal(). The read is a use-after-free.
The other pointer is fb_info->mode, the current mode. It is set through
the mode sysfs attribute. store_modes() does not update fb_info->mode, so
it is left pointing into the freed list. show_mode(), the attribute's read
handler, dereferences the stale fb_info->mode through mode_string(). The
read is a use-after-free.
Clear both pointers before freeing the list. Commit a1f305893074 ("fbcon:
Set fb_display[i]->mode to NULL when the mode is released") added the
helper fbcon_delete_modelist(). It clears every fb_display[i].mode that
points into a given list. So far it is called only from the unregister
path. Call it from store_modes() too, and set fb_info->mode to NULL.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Usama Arif <usama.arif@linux.dev>
commit fad156c2af227f42ca796cbb20ddc354a6dd9932 upstream.
blk_time_get_ns() caches ktime_get_ns() in current->plug->cur_ktime
and marks the task with PF_BLOCK_TS. That cache is only valid while the
task keeps running; if the task is switched out, wall-clock time
advances and the cached value must not be reused when the task runs again.
The existing invalidation covers explicit plug flushes through
__blk_flush_plug(), and the schedule() / rtmutex paths through
sched_update_worker(). It does not cover in-kernel preemption paths such
as preempt_schedule(), preempt_schedule_notrace(), and
preempt_schedule_irq(), which enter __schedule(SM_PREEMPT) directly and
return without calling sched_update_worker().
As a result, a task preempted while holding a plug with PF_BLOCK_TS set
can reuse a stale plug->cur_ktime after it is scheduled back in. blk-iocost
then consumes that stale timestamp through ioc_now(), producing stale vnow
values for throttle decisions, and through ioc_rqos_done(), inflating
on-queue time and feeding false missed-QoS samples into vrate
adjustment.
Move the schedule-side invalidation to finish_task_switch(), which runs
for the scheduled-in task after every actual context switch regardless
of which schedule entry point was used. Keep __blk_flush_plug() as the
explicit flush/finish-plug invalidation path, and remove only the
PF_BLOCK_TS handling from sched_update_worker().

removed the PG_mte_tagged flag from the zero page, but missed a KVM code

stage-2 CoW mapping of anonymous memory.
So disregard the zero page explicitly in sanitise_mte_tags().

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
commit 94bfc7f3b0c7c33331ba4ff6cc64ff309dfcbce8 upstream.
While testing randconfig builds on s390, I came across a link failure with
CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER disabled:
ERROR: modpost: "dma_buf_put" [drivers/iommu/iommufd/iommufd.ko] undefined!
The problem here is that IS_ERR() is not inlined and dead code elimination
fails as a consequence.
The err.h helpers all turn into a trivial assignment of a bit mask and
should never result in a function call, so force them to always be inline.
This should generally result in better object code aside from avoiding
the link failure above.

commit 56cb9b7d96b28a1173a510ab25354b6599ad3a33 upstream.
GCC's GCOV instrumentation can merge global branch counters with loop
induction variables as an optimization. In inflate_fast(), the inner copy
loops get transformed so that the GCOV counter value is loaded multiple
times to compute the loop base address, start index, and end bound. Since
GCOV counters are global (not per-CPU), concurrent execution on different
CPUs causes the counter to change between loads, producing inconsistent
values and out-of-bounds memory writes.
The crash manifests during IPComp (IP Payload Compression) processing when
inflate_fast() runs concurrently on multiple CPUs:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffd0a3c0902ffa
RIP: inflate_fast+1431
Call Trace:
zlib_inflate
__deflate_decompress
crypto_comp_decompress
ipcomp_decompress [xfrm_ipcomp]
ipcomp_input [xfrm_ipcomp]
xfrm_input
At the crash point, the compiler generated three loads from the same
global GCOV counter (__gcov0.inflate_fast+216) to compute base, start, and
end for an indexed loop. Another CPU modified the counter between loads,
making the values inconsistent - the write went 3.4 MB past a 65 KB
buffer.
Add -fprofile-update=prefer-atomic to CFLAGS_GCOV at the global level in
the top-level Makefile, guarded by a try-run compile test. The test
compiles a minimal program with and without -fprofile-update=prefer-atomic
using the full KBUILD_CFLAGS, then compares undefined symbols in the
resulting object files. If prefer-atomic introduces new undefined
references (such as __atomic_fetch_add_8 on i386 or __aarch64_ldadd8_relax
on arm64 with outline-atomics), the flag is not added -- the kernel does
not link against libatomic.
On architectures where GCC inlines 64-bit atomic counter updates (x86_64,
s390, ...) the test passes and the flag is enabled, preventing the
compiler from merging counters with loop induction variables and fixing
the observed concurrent-access crash.
On architectures where the flag would introduce libatomic dependencies, it
is silently omitted and behaviour is no worse than before this patch.
Move the CFLAGS_GCOV block from its original position (before the arch
Makefile include) to after the core KBUILD_CFLAGS assignments but before
the scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins include. This placement ensures the
try-run test sees arch-specific flags (-m32, -march=,
-mno-outline-atomics) while avoiding GCC plugin flags (-fplugin=) that
would break the test on clean builds when plugin shared objects do not yet
exist.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>
commit cb481e59ea6cae3b7796ac1d7a22b6b24c3f3c0b upstream.
The length for the internal output buffer is calculated incorrectly, which
can result overflow when a too small buffer is provided.
Fix the bug by allocating internal output with the size of the maximum
length of the cryptographic primitive instead of caller provided size.

From: Shaomin Chen <eeesssooo020@gmail.com>
commit fd15b457a86939c38aa12116adabd8ff686c5e51 upstream.
A: request_key() B: KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV
================ =========================
create auth key
store rka in auth key
wait for helper
get auth key
load rka from auth key
copy user payload
sleep on #PF
helper completed
detach and free rka
destroy auth key
wake up
use rka->target_key
**USE-AFTER-FREE**
Give request_key_auth payloads a refcount. Take a payload reference while
authkey->sem stabilizes the payload and revocation state. Hold that
reference across the instantiate and reject paths. Drop the auth key
owning reference from revoke and destroy.
[jarkko: Replaced the first two paragraphs of text with an actual
concurrency scenario.]

From: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org>
commit 0496a59745b0723ea74274db16fd5c8b1379b9a9 upstream.
Sashiko says:
mremap_userfaultfd_prep() increments ctx->mmap_changing to stall
concurrent operations, but mremap_userfaultfd_fail() does not
decrement it before dropping the context reference.
If an mremap operation fails, ctx->mmap_changing remains elevated. This
will causes subsequent userfaultfd operations like a UFFDIO_COPY to fail
with -EAGAIN.
Decrement ctx->mmap_changing in mremap_userfaultfd_fail().

calls mt7925_mcu_add_bss_info(..., enable=false) for every link of the
station being removed. For a non-MLO STATION vif there is exactly one
link, link 0, whose bss_conf is the AP's. TDLS peers do not have their
own bss_conf - they share the AP's BSS.
The result is that every TDLS peer teardown sends a BSS_INFO_UPDATE
with enable=0 for the AP's BSS to the firmware, which wipes the AP-side
rate-control context. The connection stays associated and TX from the
host still works at the negotiated rate, but the AP's downlink to us
collapses to the lowest mandatory OFDM rate (HE-MCS 0 / 6 Mbit/s OFDM)
and only slowly recovers as rate adaptation re-learns under sustained
traffic. With brief or bursty traffic the link can stay at 6-72 Mbit/s
indefinitely, requiring a manual reconnect.
mt7925_mac_link_sta_remove() already guards its own
mt7925_mcu_add_bss_info(..., false) call with
"vif->type == NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION && !link_sta->sta->tdls".
Add the equivalent guard at the top of the cleanup loop in
mt7925_mac_sta_remove_links(), above the link_sta / link_conf /
mlink / mconf lookups, so TDLS peer teardown skips the loop body
entirely without doing the per-link work that would just be thrown
away.
Verified on mt7925e by triggering Samsung-S938B auto-TDLS via iperf3
and watching iw rx bitrate after teardown:
Before: rx bitrate collapses to 6.0-72.0 Mbit/s, oscillates 17/72/
137/288/432 Mbit/s for 30+ seconds, no full recovery without
a manual reassoc.
After: rx bitrate stays at 1200.9 Mbit/s HE-MCS 11 NSS 2 80 MHz
across the entire TDLS lifecycle.
bpftrace confirms a single mt7925_mcu_add_bss_info(enable=0) call per
teardown before the fix; zero such calls after.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez <jtornosm@redhat.com>
commit 8b7a26b6681922a38cd5a7829ace61f8e54df9b7 upstream.
If there is an error during some initialization related to firmware,
the buffers dp->tx_ring[i].tx_status are released.
However this is released again when the device is unbinded (ath11k_pci),
and we get:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6231 at mm/slub.c:4368 free_large_kmalloc+0x57/0x90
Call Trace:
free_large_kmalloc
ath11k_dp_free
ath11k_core_deinit
ath11k_pci_remove
...
The issue is always reproducible from a VM because the MSI addressing
initialization is failing.
In order to fix the issue, just set the buffers to NULL after releasing in
order to avoid the double free.

commit 83d38df6929118c3f996b9e3351c2d5014073d87 upstream.
Bit 28 of double word 2 in the RX descriptor indicates if the packet is
a normal 802.11 frame, or a message from the wifi firmware to the
driver (Card 2 Host).
Commit f5678bfe1cdc ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Replace local bit manipulation

causing packet loss and Bluetooth coexistence problems.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>
commit c80788f7c5aed8d420366b821f867a8a353d83a5 upstream.
The driver expects the firmware to report TX status within 500ms.
However, a timeout can be triggered when the hardware performs
background scans while under TX load. During these scans, the firmware
stays off-channel for periods exceeding 500ms, delaying the delivery of
TX reports back to the driver.
When this occurs, the purge timer fires prematurely and drops the
tracking skbs from the queue. This results in the host stack
interpreting the missing status as packet loss, leading to TCP window
collapse. In testing with iperf3, this causes throughput to drop from
~90 Mbps to near-zero for approximately 2 seconds until the connection
recovers.
Increase RTW_TX_PROBE_TIMEOUT to 2500ms for RTL8723DU. This duration is
sufficient to accommodate off-channel dwell time during full background
scans, ensuring the purge timer only trips during genuine firmware
lockups and preventing unnecessary TCP retransmission cycles.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Luka Gejak <luka.gejak@linux.dev>
commit 6b964941bbfe6e0f18b1a5e008486dbb62df440a upstream.
When rtw_usb_write_port() fails to submit a USB Request Block (URB)
(e.g., due to device disconnect or ENOMEM), the completion callback is
never executed.
Currently, the driver ignores the return value of rtw_usb_write_port()
in rtw_usb_write_data() and rtw_usb_tx_agg_skb(). Because these
functions rely on the completion callback to free the socket buffers
(skbs) and the transaction control block (txcb), a submission failure
results in:
1. A memory leak of the allocated skb in rtw_usb_write_data().
2. A memory leak of the txcb structure and all aggregated skbs in
rtw_usb_tx_agg_skb().
Fix this by checking the return value of rtw_usb_write_port(). If it
fails, explicitly free the skb in rtw_usb_write_data(), and properly
purge the tx_ack_queue and free the txcb in rtw_usb_tx_agg_skb().
The issue was discovered in practice during device disconnect/reconnect
scenarios and memory pressure conditions. Tested by verifying normal TX
operation continues after the fix without regressions.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Junrui Luo <moonafterrain@outlook.com>
commit f056fc2b927448d37eca6b6cacc3d1b0f67b20d2 upstream.
Three BA session handlers use ffs(ba_data->sta_mask) - 1 to derive a
station ID without checking that sta_mask is non-zero. When sta_mask is
zero, ffs() returns 0 and the subtraction wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF, causing
an out-of-bounds access on fw_id_to_link_sta[].
Add WARN_ON_ONCE(!ba_data->sta_mask) guards before each ffs() call,
consistent with the existing check in iwl_mld_ampdu_rx_start().

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wenjie Qi <qwjhust@gmail.com>
commit fcb05c26c2a67953b420739b85f49386efc9b6c0 upstream.
f2fs_write_single_node_folio() takes an io_type argument, but still
passes FS_GC_NODE_IO to __write_node_folio() unconditionally.
This was harmless while the helper was only used by
f2fs_move_node_folio(), whose caller passes FS_GC_NODE_IO. However,
commit fe9b8b30b971 ("f2fs: fix inline data not being written to disk
in writeback path") made f2fs_inline_data_fiemap() call the helper with
FS_NODE_IO for FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC.
Honor the caller supplied io_type so inline-data FIEMAP sync writeback is
accounted as normal node IO instead of GC node IO, while the GC path
continues to pass FS_GC_NODE_IO explicitly.

------------------
From: Wenjie Qi <qwjhust@gmail.com>
commit 846c499a65816d13f1186e3090e825e8bb8bcb8b upstream.
f2fs_recover_orphan_inodes() trusts the orphan block entry_count when
replaying orphan inodes from the checkpoint pack. A corrupted entry_count
larger than F2FS_ORPHANS_PER_BLOCK makes the recovery loop read past the
ino[] array and interpret footer or following data as inode numbers.
On a crafted image, mounting an unpatched kernel can drive orphan recovery
into f2fs_bug_on() and panic the kernel. Validate entry_count before
consuming entries so corrupted checkpoint data fails the mount with
-EFSCORRUPTED and requests fsck instead.
Set ERROR_INCONSISTENT_ORPHAN as well, so the corruption reason can be
recorded in the superblock s_errors[] field. This gives fsck a persistent
hint even though mount-time orphan recovery failure may leave no chance to
persist SBI_NEED_FSCK through a checkpoint.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wenjie Qi <qwjhust@gmail.com>
commit 5073c66a96a9c23c0c2533ed4ed06e42f9021208 upstream.
F2FS_COMPRESS_INO() uses NM_I(sbi)->max_nid as the synthetic inode
number for the compressed page cache inode. That inode only exists when
the compress_cache mount option is enabled.
When compress_cache is disabled, max_nid is outside the valid inode
range. A corrupted directory entry that points to ino == max_nid should
therefore be rejected by f2fs_check_nid_range(). However, is_meta_ino()
currently treats F2FS_COMPRESS_INO() as a meta inode unconditionally,
so f2fs_iget() bypasses do_read_inode() and its nid range check, and
instantiates a fake internal inode instead.
Gate the compressed cache inode case on COMPRESS_CACHE, matching
f2fs_init_compress_inode(). With compress_cache disabled, ino ==
max_nid now follows the normal inode path and is rejected as an
out-of-range nid.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sunmin Jeong <s_min.jeong@samsung.com>
commit 4275b59673eb60b02eec3997816c83f1f4b909c4 upstream.
Currently, the length of fallocate for pin file is section-aligned to
keep allocated sections from being selected as victims of GC. However,
for the case that the start offset of fallocate is not aligned in
section, the allocated sections can't be fully utilized. It's because a
new section is allocated by f2fs_allocate_pinning_section() after using
blks_per_sec blocks regardless of the start offset. As a result, several
unexpected dirty segments may be created, including blocks assigned to
the pinned file.
To address this issue, let's round down the start offset of fallocate
to the length of section.
The reproducing scenario is as below
chunk=$(((2<<20)+4096)) # 2MB + 4KB
touch test
f2fs_io pinfile set test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 0 $chunk test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 $chunk $chunk test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 $((chunk*2)) $chunk test
f2fs_io fiemap 0 $((chunk*3)) test
Fiemap: offset = 0 len = 12288

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Zhang Cen <rollkingzzc@gmail.com>
commit c4810ada31e80cbe4011467c4f3b1e93f94134f3 upstream.
f2fs_acl_count() only validates the aggregate ACL xattr length. A
malformed ACL can still place ACL_USER or ACL_GROUP in a slot that only
contains struct f2fs_acl_entry_short bytes, and f2fs_acl_from_disk()
then reads entry->e_id before verifying that a full entry fits.
Require a short entry before reading e_tag and e_perm, and require a
full entry before reading e_id for ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP. Return
-EFSCORRUPTED from these new truncated-entry checks, while keeping the
pre-existing -EINVAL paths unchanged.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yongpeng Yang <yangyongpeng@xiaomi.com>
commit 1f70ddb28a3c71df124da5fa4040c808116d6bb9 upstream.
When __destroy_extent_node() sets the inode flag FI_NO_EXTENT, it does
not reset the length of the largest extent to 0 and update the inode
folio. Since modifications to the extent tree are disallowed afterward,
the cached largest extent may become stale. This can trigger the
following error in xfstests generic/388:
F2FS-fs (dm-0): sanity_check_extent_cache: inode (ino=1761) extent info [220057, 57, 6] is incorrect, run fsck to fix
In the f2fs_drop_inode path, __destroy_extent_node() does not need to
guarantee that et->node_cnt is 0, because concurrency with writeback
is expected in this path, and writeback may update the extent cache.
This patch reverts commit ed78aeebef05 ("f2fs: fix node_cnt race between
extent node destroy and writeback"), and remove the unnecessary zero
check of et->node_cnt.
Fixes: ed78aeebef05 ("f2fs: fix node_cnt race between extent node destroy and writeback")

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wenjie Qi <qwjhust@gmail.com>
commit 6d874b65aadce56ac78f76129dbcfc2599b638f8 upstream.
A partial atomic write reserves a block in the COW inode before reading the
original data page for the untouched bytes in that page.
If that read fails, write_begin returns an error but leaves the COW inode
entry as NEW_ADDR. A retry of the same partial write then finds the COW
entry, treats it as existing COW data, and f2fs_write_begin() zeroes the
whole folio because blkaddr is NEW_ADDR.
If the retry is committed, the bytes outside the retried write range are
committed as zeroes instead of preserving the original file contents.
Only use the COW inode as the read source when it already has a real data
block. If the COW entry is still NEW_ADDR, treat it as a reservation to
reuse: keep reading the old data from the original inode and avoid
reserving or accounting the same atomic block again.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Denis Arefev <arefev@swemel.ru>
commit f73aa66dffcb8e61e78f01b56163ec16a15d06d2 upstream.
The bdev pseudo-filesystem is an internal kernel filesystem with which
userspace should not interfere. Unregister it so that userspace cannot
even attempt to mount it.
This fixes a bug [1] that occurs when attempting to access files,
because the system call move_mount() uses pointers declared in the
inode_operations structure, which for the bdev pseudo-filesystem
are always equal to 0. `inode->i_op = &empty_iops;`

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dawei Feng <dawei.feng@seu.edu.cn>
commit 4c21b5927d4364bfe7365f2700da5fea0ed0d004 upstream.
proc_sys_call_handler() allocates its temporary sysctl buffer with
kvzalloc() and passes it to __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl(). Since
kvzalloc() may fall back to vmalloc() for large allocations, freeing
that buffer with kfree() is wrong and can corrupt memory.
Use kvfree() to safely handle both kmalloc and kvzalloc()/vmalloc
allocations.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1-rc5.
Reproduced the bug based on v7.1-rc4 in a QEMU x86_64 guest booted with
KASAN and CONFIG_FAILSLAB enabled. To exercise the replacement path, the
test tree also included the accompanying fix for the stale ret == 1
check in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_sysctl(). The reproducer confines
failslab injections to the proc_sys_call_handler() range, uses
stacktrace-depth=32, and injects fail-nth=1 while writing 8191 bytes to
/proc/sys/kernel/domainname from a task in the target cgroup. Under
that setup, fail-nth=1 triggered the fault:

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@orcam.me.uk>
commit 7fb13fd35110ebe95eb053faf79d018f51144d85 upstream.
In 64-bit configurations calling the initial console output handler from
a kernel thread other than the initial one will result in a situation
where the stack has been placed in the XKPHYS 64-bit memory segment and
consequently so has been the buffer allocated there that is used as the
argument corresponding to the `%s' output conversion specifier for the
firmware's printf() entry point.
This 64-bit address will then be truncated by 32-bit firmware, resulting
in an attempt to access the wrong memory location, which in turn will
cause all kinds of unpredictable behaviour, such as a kernel crash:

In this case the pointer in $4 was truncated from 0x980000000203bd00 to
0x000000000203bd00.
This may happen when no final console driver has been enabled in the
configuration and consequently the initial console continues being used
late into bootstrap or with an upcoming change that will switch the zs
driver to use a platform device, which in turn will make the console
handover happen only after other kernel threads have already been
started.
Fix the issue by making the buffer static and initdata, and therefore
placed in the CKSEG0 32-bit compatibility segment, observing that the
console output handler is called with the console lock held, implying
no need for this code to be reentrant. Add an assertion to verify the
buffer actually has been placed in a compatibility segment.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michael Bommarito <michael.bommarito@gmail.com>
commit 3f5f8ee9917cc2b9076ac533492d8a200edcabb8 upstream.
In exfat_find_dir_entry(), the buffer_head obtained from
exfat_get_dentry() is released with brelse(bh) before the fall-through
TYPE_EXTEND branch reads the directory entry through ep (which points
into bh->b_data):
brelse(bh);
if (entry_type == TYPE_EXTEND) {
...
len = exfat_extract_uni_name(ep, entry_uniname);
...
}
After brelse() drops our reference, nothing guarantees that the
underlying page backing bh->b_data remains valid for the subsequent
exfat_extract_uni_name() read. This is the same pattern fixed in
commit fc961522ddbd ("exfat: Fix potential use after free in
exfat_load_upcase_table()").
Move brelse(bh) so it runs after ep is no longer dereferenced on
each branch.
Confirmed on QEMU x86_64 with CONFIG_KASAN=y + CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
+ CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING=y on linux-next, using a crafted exFAT image
(long filename with same-hash collisions forcing the TYPE_EXTEND path).
With a debug-only invalidate_bdev() inserted between brelse(bh) and
the ep read to make the stale-deref window deterministic, the
unpatched kernel faults:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in exfat_find_dir_entry+0x133b/0x15a0
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff88801a5fa0c2
Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN NOPTI
RIP: 0010:exfat_find_dir_entry+0x1188/0x15a0
With this patch applied, the same instrumented harness completes
cleanly under the same sanitizer stack. I have not reproduced a
crash on an uninstrumented kernel under ordinary reclaim; the
instrumented A/B establishes the lifetime violation and that the
patch closes it, not an unaided triggerability claim.

------------------
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
commit ef057cbf825e03b63f6edf5980f96abf3c53089d upstream.
When recovering hugepages in the shadow MMU, verify that the base gfn of
the shadow page is actually contained within the target memslot, *before*
querying the max mapping level given the shadow page's gfn. Failure to
pre-check the validity of the gfn can lead to an out-of-bounds access to
the slot's lpage_info (which typically manifests as a host #PF because the
lpage_info is vmalloc'd) if the guest creates a hugepage mapping (in its
PTEs) that extends "below" the bounds of a memslot.
When faulting in memory for a guest, and the size of the guest mapping is
greater than KVM's (current) max mapping, then KVM will create a "direct"
shadow page (direct in that there are no gPTEs to shadow, and so the target
gfn is a direct calculation given the base gfn of the shadow page). The
hugepage recovery flow looks for such direct shadow pages, as forcing 4KiB
mappings when dirty logging generates the guest > host mapping size case.
When the 4KiB restriction is lifted, then KVM can replace the shadow page
with a hugepage.
But if KVM originally used a smaller mapping than the guest because the
range of memory covered by the guest hugepage exceeds the bounds of a
memslot, then KVM will link a direct shadow page with a gfn that is outside
the bounds of the memslot being used to fault in memory. The rmap entry
added for the leaf mapping is correct and within bounds, but the gfn of the
leaf SPTE's parent shadow page will be out of bounds.

Don't bother pre-checking the bounds of the potential hugepage, i.e. don't
check that e.g. sp->gfn + KVM_PAGES_PER_HPAGE(sp->role.level + 1) is also
within the memslot, as the checks performed by kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level()
are a superset of the basic bounds checks. I.e. pre-checking the full
range would be a dubious micro-optimization.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
commit f1edbed787ba67988ed34e0132ca128b052b6ce8 upstream.
Drop a BUG_ON() that has been reachable since it was first added, way back
in 2009, and instead use get_unaligned() to perform potentially-unaligned
accesses.
For a given store, KVM x86's emulator tracks the entire value in the
destination operand, x86_emulate_ctxt.dst. If the destination is memory,
and the target splits multiple pages and/or is emulated MMIO, then KVM
handles each fragment independently. E.g. on a page split starting at page
offset 0xffc, KVM writes 4 bytes to the first page, then the remaining
bytes to the second page, using ctxt->dst as the source for both (with
appropriate offsets).
If the destination splits a page *and* hits emulated MMIO on the second
page, then KVM will complete the write to the first page, then emulate the
MMIO access to the second page. If there is a datamatch-enabled ioeventfd
at offset 0 of the second page, then KVM will process the remainder of the
store as a potential ioeventfd signal.
Putting it all together, if the guest emits a store that splits a page
starting at page offset N, and the second page has a datamatch-enabled
ioeventfd at offset 0, then KVM will check for datamatch using
&dst.valptr[N] as the source. Due to dst (and thus dst.valptr) being
32-byte aligned, if N is not aligned to @len, the BUG_ON() fires.
E.g. with a 16-byte store at page offset 0xffc, to an ioeventfd of len 8,
all initial checks in ioeventfd_in_range() will succeed, and the BUG_ON()
fires due to @val being 4-byte aligned, but not 8-byte aligned.

In a perfect world, the fix would be to simply delete the BUG_ON(), as KVM
x86 doesn't perform alignment checks on "normal" memory accesses at CPL0.
Sadly, C99 ruins all the fun; while the x86 architecture plays nice,
dereferencing an unaligned pointer directly is undefined behavior in C,
e.g. triggers splats when running with CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT=y.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
commit f9c9ec2c319f843b70ecdf939d48b52d189bc081 upstream.
gfs2_qd_dealloc(), called as an RCU callback from gfs2_qd_dispose(),
accesses the superblock object sdp through qd->qd_sbd after freeing qd.
It does so to decrement sd_quota_count and wake up sd_kill_wait.
However, by the time the RCU callback runs, gfs2_put_super() may have
already freed sdp via free_sbd(). This can happen when
gfs2_quota_cleanup() is called during unmount: it disposes of quota
objects via call_rcu() and then waits on sd_kill_wait with a 60-second
timeout. If the timeout expires, or if gfs2_gl_hash_clear() triggers
additional qd_put() calls that schedule more RCU callbacks after the
wait completes, gfs2_put_super() will proceed to free the superblock
while RCU callbacks referencing it are still pending.
Add an rcu_barrier() before free_sbd() in gfs2_put_super() to ensure
all pending RCU callbacks (including gfs2_qd_dealloc) have completed
before the superblock is freed.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wentao Liang <vulab@iscas.ac.cn>
commit 257595adf9dac15ae1edd9d07753fbc576a7583d upstream.
pwrseq_debugfs_seq_next() declares 'next' with __free(put_device),
which causes put_device() to be called on the returned pointer when
the variable goes out of scope. This results in a use-after-free
since the seq_file framework receives a pointer whose reference has
already been dropped.
Simply removing __free(put_device) would fix the UAF but would leak
the reference acquired by bus_find_next_device(), as stop() only
calls up_read(&pwrseq_sem) and never releases the device reference.
Fix this by making the reference counting consistent across all
seq_file callbacks, matching the standard pattern used by PCI and
SCSI:
- start(): use get_device() so it returns a referenced pointer.
- next(): explicitly put_device(curr) to release the previous
device's reference (no NULL check needed - the seq_file framework
only calls next() while the previous return was non-NULL).
- stop(): put_device(data) to release the last iterated device's
reference, with a NULL guard since stop() may be called with NULL
when start() returned NULL or next() reached end-of-sequence.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Fan Wu <fanwu01@zju.edu.cn>
commit c78a4e41ab5ead6193ad8a2dd92e8906bae659fa upstream.
Each PPP control protocol (LCP/IPCP/IPV6CP) embedded in struct ppp
registers a timer via timer_setup(). That struct ppp is the
hdlc->state allocation, which detach_hdlc_protocol() frees with kfree()
in both teardown paths: unregister_hdlc_device() and the re-attach inside
attach_hdlc_protocol().
The ppp proto never registered a .detach callback, so
detach_hdlc_protocol() performs no timer synchronization before the
kfree(). The only cancel, timer_delete(&proto->timer) in ppp_cp_event(),
is partial (it does not wait for a running callback) and only runs on the
->CLOSED transition; ppp_stop()/ppp_close() do not sync either. A
ppp_timer callback already executing (blocked on ppp->lock) survives the
kfree and then dereferences proto->state / ppp->lock in freed memory,
leading to a use-after-free.
Fix this by adding a .detach helper that calls timer_shutdown_sync() on
every per-proto timer. detach_hdlc_protocol() invokes proto->detach(dev)
before kfree(hdlc->state), so timer_shutdown_sync()
now runs on both free paths.
timer_shutdown_sync() is used instead of timer_delete_sync() because the
keepalive path re-arms the timer through add_timer()/mod_timer() and
shutdown blocks any re-activation during teardown.
Initialize the per-protocol timers in ppp_ioctl() when the protocol is
attached, and remove the now-redundant timer_setup() from ppp_start(), so
that the timers are initialized exactly once at attach time and
ppp_timer_release() never operates on uninitialized timer_list
structures. attach_hdlc_protocol() uses kmalloc() (not kzalloc), so
struct ppp's protos[i].timer is uninitialized garbage until the first
timer_setup(); without this init-at-attach, attaching the PPP protocol
without ever bringing the device up would leave timer_shutdown_sync()
operating on uninitialized memory in .detach. Moving the init out of
ppp_start() (which only runs on NETDEV_UP) into the attach path makes the
initialization unconditional and avoids initializing the same timer_list
twice.
This bug was found by static analysis.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@suse.com>
commit 0ab5ee5a1badb58cbb2242617cb01a4972b1f2a2 upstream.
When multiple blkgs in the same blkcg are released concurrently,
a use-after-free can occur. The race happens when one blkg's
__blkcg_rstat_flush() removes another blkg's iostat entries via
llist_del_all(). The second blkg sees an empty list and proceeds
to free itself while the first is still iterating over its entries.
Move the flush from __blkg_release() (RCU callback) to blkg_release()
(before call_rcu). This ensures the RCU grace period waits for any
concurrent flush's rcu_read_lock() section to complete before freeing.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Doruk Tan Ozturk <doruk@0sec.ai>
commit bda3348872a2ef0d19f2df6aa8cb5025adce2f20 upstream.
tipc_aead_decrypt() goes straight from tipc_bearer_hold(b) to
crypto_aead_decrypt(req) without taking a reference on the netns, unlike
the encrypt path. When crypto_aead_decrypt() is offloaded asynchronously
(e.g. the SIMD aead wrapper queuing to cryptd), the cryptd worker runs
tipc_aead_decrypt_done() later. If the bearer's netns is torn down in the
meantime, cleanup_net() -> tipc_exit_net() -> tipc_crypto_stop() frees the
per-netns tipc_crypto, and the completion then reads it:
tipc_aead_decrypt_done() dereferences aead->crypto->stats and
aead->crypto->net, and tipc_crypto_rcv_complete() dereferences
aead->crypto->aead[] and the node table -- reading freed memory.
Decoded KASAN splat (v7.1-rc7, CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE + TIPC + TIPC_CRYPTO):

This is the same class of bug that commit e279024617134 ("net/tipc: fix
slab-use-after-free Read in tipc_aead_encrypt_done") fixed for the encrypt
side. The encrypt path takes maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net) before
crypto_aead_encrypt() and drops it with put_net() on the synchronous
return paths and in tipc_aead_encrypt_done(); the -EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY
return keeps the reference for the async callback to release. The decrypt
path was left without the equivalent guard.
Mirror the encrypt-side fix on the decrypt path: take a net reference
before crypto_aead_decrypt() (failing with -ENODEV and the matching
bearer put if it cannot be acquired), keep it across the
-EINPROGRESS/-EBUSY async return, and drop it with put_net() on the
synchronous success/error return and at the end of
tipc_aead_decrypt_done().
Reproduced under KASAN on v7.1-rc7: a UDP bearer with a cluster key is
flooded with crafted encrypted frames from an unknown peer (driving the
cluster-key decrypt path) while the bearer's netns is repeatedly torn
down. The completion must run asynchronously to outlive
tipc_crypto_stop(); on x86 the stock aesni gcm(aes) now decrypts
synchronously, so the async path was exercised via cryptd offload. The
unguarded aead->crypto dereference in tipc_aead_decrypt_done() is the
unpatched upstream path; tipc_aead_decrypt() still lacks
maybe_get_net(aead->crypto->net), so the completion can outlive the free
on any config where crypto_aead_decrypt() goes async.
Found by 0sec automated security-research tooling (https://0sec.ai).

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>
commit f2539c56c74691e7a88af6372ba2b48c06ed2fe4 upstream.
This is a port of MIPS commit 9f3f3bdc6d9dac1 ("MIPS: smp: report dying
CPU to RCU in stop_this_cpu()"). smp_send_stop() parks all secondary
CPUs in stop_this_cpu(). And the function marks the CPU offline for the
scheduler via set_cpu_online(false) but never informs RCU, so RCU keeps
expecting a quiescent state from CPUs that are now spinning forever with
interrupts disabled.
As long as nothing waits for an RCU grace period after smp_send_stop()
this is harmless, which is why it went unnoticed. However, since commit
91840be8f710370 ("irq_work: Fix use-after-free in irq_work_single() on
PREEMPT_RT"), irq_work_sync() calls synchronize_rcu() on architectures
without an irq_work self-IPI, i.e. where arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()
returns false. Any irq_work_sync() issued in the reboot/shutdown/halt
path after smp_send_stop() then blocks on a grace period that can never
complete, hanging the reboot:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 15 at kernel/irq_work.c:144 irq_work_queue_on
...
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
rcu: Offline CPU 1 blocking current GP.
rcu: Offline CPU 2 blocking current GP.
rcu: Offline CPU 3 blocking current GP.
This issue needs some hacks to reproduce, and it was not noticed on
LoongArch because arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() usually returns true.
Call rcutree_report_cpu_dead() once interrupts are disabled, mirroring
the generic CPU-hotplug offline path, so RCU stops waiting on the parked
CPUs and grace periods can still complete. LoongArch shuts down all CPUs
here without going through the CPU-hotplug mechanism, so this report is
not otherwise issued.

------------------
From: Wentao Liang <vulab@iscas.ac.cn>
commit 13e198a90ca4050f4bee8a3f23680389a6563ccc upstream.
When hitting the NFS_LAYOUT_RETURN branch in pnfs_update_layout(),
the code calls pnfs_prepare_to_retry_layoutget(lo). If it succeeds,
pnfs_put_layout_hdr(lo) is called before trace_pnfs_update_layout(),
which still references 'lo'. This results in a use-after-free when the
tracepoint accesses lo's fields.
Fix this by moving the tracepoint call before pnfs_put_layout_hdr(lo).

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Qingshuang Fu <fuqingshuang@kylinos.cn>
commit 37738fdf2ab1e504d1c63ce5bc0aeb6452d8f057 upstream.
The driver allocates domain generic chips using
irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() during probe and sets up chained
handlers using irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(). However, on driver
removal, the generic chips are not freed and the chained handlers are
not removed.
The generic chips remain on the global gc_list and may later be accessed by
generic interrupt chip suspend, resume, or shutdown callbacks after the
driver has been removed, potentially resulting in a use-after-free and
kernel crash.
The chained handlers that were installed in probe for peripheral and
syswake interrupts are also left dangling, which can lead to spurious
interrupts accessing freed memory.
Fix these issues by:
- Setting IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC flag in domain->flags, so the
core code automatically removes generic chips when irq_domain_remove()
is called
- Clearing all chained handlers with NULL in pdc_intc_remove()

------------------
From: Yuho Choi <dbgh9129@gmail.com>
commit 1ff3f528e67d20e2b1483dcaba899dc7832b2e6b upstream.
rpmsg_chrdev_probe() stores the newly allocated eptdev in the default
endpoint's priv pointer before calling rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add(). If
rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() then fails, its error path frees eptdev while
the default endpoint may still dispatch callbacks with the stale priv
pointer.
Avoid publishing eptdev through the default endpoint until
rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() succeeds. Messages received before the priv
pointer is published should be ignored by rpmsg_ept_cb(). Flow-control
updates can hit rpmsg_ept_flow_cb() in the same window, so make both
callbacks return success when priv is NULL.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Zhang Cen <rollkingzzc@gmail.com>
commit 9bd541e09dffff27e5bec0f9f45b0228173a5375 upstream.
ocfs2_validate_gd_parent() only bounds bg_bits against the parent
allocator's chain geometry. A malicious descriptor can still claim a
bg_size/bg_bits pair that exceeds the bitmap bytes that physically fit in
the group descriptor block, so later bitmap scans and bit updates can run
past bg_bitmap.
Add a physical-cap check based on ocfs2_group_bitmap_size() for the parent
allocator type and reject descriptors whose bg_size or bg_bits exceed that
capacity. Keep the existing chain geometry check so both the on-disk
bitmap layout and the allocator metadata must agree before the descriptor
is used.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yizhou Zhao <zhaoyz24@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn>
commit 1a3860d46e3eb47dbd60339783cdad7904486b9f upstream.
When p9_client_walk() is called with clone set to false, fid aliases
oldfid. If the walk subsequently fails after the request has been sent,
the error path jumps to clunk_fid, which currently calls p9_fid_put(fid)
unconditionally.
This drops a reference to oldfid even though ownership of oldfid remains
with the caller. If this is the last reference, oldfid can be clunked and
destroyed while the caller still expects it to be valid. A later use or
put of oldfid can then trigger a use-after-free or refcount underflow.
Fix this by only putting fid in the clunk_fid error path when it does not
alias oldfid, matching the existing guard in the error path below.
This can be triggered when a multi-component walk is split into multiple
p9_client_walk() calls and a later non-cloning walk fails. A reproducer
and refcount warning logs are available on request.
Fixes: b48dbb998d70 ("9p fid refcount: add p9_fid_get/put wrappers")

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jonas Jelonek <jelonek.jonas@gmail.com>
commit 9f3f3bdc6d9dac1a5a8262ee7ad0f2ff1527a7e7 upstream.
smp_send_stop() parks all secondary CPUs in stop_this_cpu(). The function
marks the CPU offline for the scheduler via set_cpu_online(false) but
never informs RCU, so RCU keeps expecting a quiescent state from CPUs
that are now spinning forever with interrupts disabled.
As long as nothing waits for an RCU grace period after smp_send_stop()
this is harmless, which is why it went unnoticed. Since commit
91840be8f710 ("irq_work: Fix use-after-free in irq_work_single() on PREEMPT_RT")
however, irq_work_sync() calls synchronize_rcu() on architectures without
an irq_work self-IPI, i.e. where arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() returns
false. That is the asm-generic default used by MIPS. Any irq_work_sync()
issued in the reboot/shutdown path after smp_send_stop() then blocks on
a grace period that can never complete, hanging the reboot:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 15 at kernel/irq_work.c:144 irq_work_queue_on
...
rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
rcu: Offline CPU 1 blocking current GP.
rcu: Offline CPU 2 blocking current GP.
rcu: Offline CPU 3 blocking current GP.
This issue was noticed on several Realtek MIPS switch SoCs (MIPS
interAptiv) and came up during kernel bump downstream in OpenWrt from
6.18.33 to 6.18.34, after the backport of the patch to the 6.18 stable
branch. The patch also has been backported all the way back to 6.1.
Call rcutree_report_cpu_dead() once interrupts are disabled, mirroring the
generic CPU-hotplug offline path, so RCU stops waiting on the parked CPUs
and grace periods can still complete. MIPS shuts down all CPUs here
without going through the CPU-hotplug mechanism, so this report is not
otherwise issued. Reporting a dying CPU to RCU outside the regular hotplug
offline path is not unprecedented: arm64 does the same in cpu_die_early().
There it is an exception for a CPU that was coming online and is aborting
bringup, rather than the default shutdown action as on MIPS.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hyunwoo Kim <imv4bel@gmail.com>
commit 4721f8160f17554b003e8928bb61e6c9b2fe92a3 upstream.
When checking if a VP ID is included in a sparse bank set, explicitly check
that the ID can actually be contained in a sparse bank (the TLFS allows for
a maximum of 64 banks of 64 vCPUs each). When handling a paravirtual TLB
flush for L2, the VP ID is copied verbatim from the enlightened VMCS,
without any bounds check, i.e. isn't guaranteed to be under the limit of
4096.
Failure to check the bounds of the VP ID leads to an out-of-bounds read
when testing the sparse bank, and super strictly speaking could lead to KVM
performing an unnecessary TLB flush for an L2 vCPU.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ashutosh Desai <ashutoshdesai993@gmail.com>
commit 78ee2d50185a037b3d2452a97f3dad69c3f7f389 upstream.
In sev_dbg_crypt(), the per-iteration transfer length is bounded by
the source page offset (PAGE_SIZE - s_off) but not by the destination
page offset (PAGE_SIZE - d_off). When d_off > s_off, the encrypt
path (__sev_dbg_encrypt_user) performs a read-modify-write using a
single-page intermediate buffer (dst_tpage):
1. __sev_dbg_decrypt() expands the size to round_up(len + (d_off & 15), 16)
before issuing the PSP command. If len + (d_off & 15) > PAGE_SIZE,
the PSP writes beyond the end of the 4096-byte dst_tpage allocation.
2. The subsequent memcpy()/copy_from_user() into
page_address(dst_tpage) + (d_off & 15) of 'len' bytes overflows
by up to 15 bytes under the same condition.
Trigger example: s_off = 0, d_off = 1, debug.len = PAGE_SIZE -
the PSP is instructed to write round_up(4097, 16) = 4112 bytes to
a 4096-byte buffer.
Fix by also bounding len by (PAGE_SIZE - d_off), the same check that
sev_send_update_data() already performs for its single-page guest
region.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vivian Wang <wangruikang@iscas.ac.cn>
commit 8d6c8c40e733b3fcaf92fed0a078bba2f6941a3b upstream.
In kfence_protect_page(), which kfence_unprotect() calls, we cannot send
IPIs to other CPUs to ask them to flush TLB. This may lead to those CPUs
spuriously faulting on a recently allocated kfence object despite it
being valid, leading to false positive use-after-free reports.
Fix this by calling mark_new_valid_map() so that the page fault handling
code path notices the spurious fault and flushes TLB then retries the
access.
Update the comment in handle_exception to indicate that
new_valid_map_cpus_check also handles kfence_unprotect() spurious
faults.
Note that kfence_protect() has the same stale TLB entries problem, but
that leads to false negatives, which is fine with kfence.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ian Bridges <icb@fastmail.org>
commit 7f08fc10fa3d3366dc3af723970bd03d7d6d10e3 upstream.
info->var, a framebuffer's current mode, is expected to have a matching
entry in info->modelist. var_to_display() relies on this and treats a
failed fb_match_mode() as "This should not happen". fb_set_var() keeps it
true by adding the mode to the list on every change, and
do_register_framebuffer() does the same at registration.
store_modes() replaces the modelist from userspace. fb_new_modelist()
validates the new modes but does not check that info->var still has a
match. It relies on fbcon_new_modelist() to re-point consoles, but that
only handles consoles mapped to the framebuffer. With fbcon unbound there
are none, so info->var is left describing a mode that is no longer in the
list.
A later console takeover runs var_to_display(), where fb_match_mode()
returns NULL and leaves fb_display[i].mode NULL. fbcon_switch() passes it
to display_to_var(), and fb_videomode_to_var() dereferences the NULL mode.
Keep the current mode in the list in fb_new_modelist(), the same way
fb_set_var() does.

------------------
From: Tuo Li <islituo@gmail.com>
commit 85b6256469cebdac395e7447147e06b2e151014f upstream.
If mode_option is NULL, it is assigned from mode_option_buf:
if (!mode_option) {
fb_get_options(NULL, &mode_option_buf);
mode_option = mode_option_buf;
}
Later, name is assigned from mode_option:
const char *name = mode_option;
However, mode_option_buf is freed before name is no longer used:
kfree(mode_option_buf);
while name is still accessed by:
if ((name_matches(db[i], name, namelen) ||
Since name aliases mode_option_buf, this may result in a
use-after-free.
Fix this by extending the lifetime of mode_option_buf until the end of the
function by using scope-based resource management for cleanup.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steffen Persvold <spersvold@gmail.com>
commit d894c48a57d78206e4df9c90d4acfaf39394806a upstream.
The 1920x1080@60 modedb entry has one too many initializers before
its sync field: a stray "0" occupies the sync slot, which shifts the
remaining values by one field. The entry therefore decodes as
sync = 0, vmode = FB_SYNC_HOR_HIGH_ACT | FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT (0x3,
i.e. FB_VMODE_INTERLACED | FB_VMODE_DOUBLE), and flag =
FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, instead of the intended sync = positive H/V,
vmode = non-interlaced.
fb_find_mode() then returns a 1920x1080 mode flagged as interlaced +
doublescan with active-low syncs. Drivers that honour var->vmode and
var->sync when programming display timing enable doublescan and the
wrong sync polarity, corrupting the output.
Drop the stray initializer so sync and vmode hold their intended
values (positive H/V sync, non-interlaced), matching the adjacent
1920x1200 entry.

------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
commit ba14d7cf2fe7284610a29854bdff22b2537d3ce6 upstream.
Adapters can be looked up based on their id using i2c_get_adapter()
which takes a reference to the embedded struct device.
Make sure that the adapter (including its struct device) has been
initialised before adding it to the IDR to avoid accessing uninitialised
data which could, for example, lead to NULL-pointer dereferences or
use-after-free.
Note that the i2c-dev chardev, which is registered from a bus notifier,
currently uses i2c_get_adapter() so the adapter needs to be added to the
IDR before registration.

From: Guannan Wang <wgnbuaa@gmail.com>
commit 9e18e83b8846a5c3fe13fc8a464b4865d33996c6 upstream.
nfsd4_decode_secinfo_no_name() currently initializes sin_exp after
decoding sin_style. If the XDR stream is truncated, the decoder returns
nfserr_bad_xdr before sin_exp is initialized.
Since commit 3fdc54646234 ("NFSD: Reduce amount of struct
nfsd4_compoundargs that needs clearing"), the inline iops array is not
cleared between RPC calls. A failed SECINFO_NO_NAME decode can therefore
leave sin_exp holding stale union contents from a previous operation.
The error response path still invokes nfsd4_secinfo_no_name_release(),
which calls exp_put() on a non-NULL sin_exp.
Initialize sin_exp before the first failable decode step, matching
nfsd4_decode_secinfo().

------------------
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
commit 0853ac544c590880d797b04daa33fcb72b6be0e1 upstream.
nfsaclsvc_decode_setaclargs() and nfs3svc_decode_setaclargs() each
call nfs_stream_decode_acl() twice, first for NFS_ACL and then for
NFS_DFACL. Each successful call transfers ownership of a freshly
allocated posix_acl into argp->acl_access or argp->acl_default. If
the first call succeeds but the second fails, the decoder returns
false and argp->acl_access is left dangling.
ACLPROC2_SETACL.pc_release was wired to nfssvc_release_attrstat and
ACLPROC3_SETACL.pc_release was wired to nfs3svc_release_fhandle.
Both only call fh_put() and have no knowledge of the ACL fields on
argp. The posix_acl_release() pairs sat at the out: labels inside
nfsacld_proc_setacl() and nfsd3_proc_setacl(), but svc_process()
skips pc_func when pc_decode returns false, so that cleanup is
unreachable on decode failure:
svc_process_common()
pc_decode() /* decode_setaclargs: false */
/* pc_func skipped */
pc_release() /* fh_put only -- ACLs leaked */
The orphaned posix_acl is leaked for the lifetime of the server.
Fix by adding nfsaclsvc_release_setacl() and nfs3svc_release_setacl(),
which release both argp->acl_access and argp->acl_default in addition
to fh_put(), and wiring them as pc_release for their respective SETACL
procedures. pc_release runs on every path svc_process() takes after
decode, including decode failure, so the posix_acl_release() pairs are
removed from the proc functions' out: labels to keep ownership in one
place. This matches the existing release_getacl() pattern used by
the sibling GETACL procedures.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
commit 0150459b05490b88b7e7378a31550a9e07b5517c upstream.
nfsd4_async_copy_reaper() is supposed to keep completed async copy
state around for NFSD_COPY_INITIAL_TTL (10) laundromat ticks so
that OFFLOAD_STATUS can report the result, then reap the state once
the countdown expires.
The TTL predicate is inverted: `if (--copy->cp_ttl)` is true while
ticks remain and false when the counter reaches zero. This causes
the copy to be reaped on the very first tick (cp_ttl goes from 10
to 9, which is non-zero) instead of after all 10 ticks elapse.
Once reaped, OFFLOAD_STATUS returns NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID because
the copy state has already been freed.
Fix by negating the test so that cleanup runs when the TTL expires.

------------------
From: Dominik Woźniak <stalion@gmail.com>
commit e186fa1c057f5eccb22afb1e83e34c0627085868 upstream.
In __cld_pipe_inprogress_downcall(), the get_user() that reads
princhashlen from the userspace cld_msg_v2 buffer does not check its
return value. A failing copy leaves princhashlen with uninitialised
stack contents, which are then used to drive memdup_user() and stored
as princhash.len on the resulting reclaim record. The other get_user()
calls in this function all check the return; only this one is missed,
which is most likely a copy-paste oversight from when v2 upcalls were
introduced.
Mirror the existing pattern used a few lines above for namelen.
namecopy is declared with __free(kfree) so the early return cleans up
the already-allocated buffer automatically.

------------------
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
commit 57aee7a35bb12753057c5b65d72d1f46c0e95b07 upstream.
When find_or_alloc_open_stateowner() encounters an unconfirmed owner, it
calls release_openowner() and sets oo = NULL. Control then falls through
past the `if (oo)` guard -- which would have freed any pre-allocated
`new` -- and unconditionally executes `new = alloc_stateowner(...)`. If
`new` was already allocated on a prior iteration, the pointer is
silently overwritten and the previous allocation (slab object + owner
name buffer) is leaked.
This requires a race: two NFSv4.0 OPEN threads with the same owner
string, where a concurrent thread inserts a new unconfirmed owner into
the hash between retry iterations. The window is narrow but repeatable
under adversarial conditions.
Fix by adding `goto retry` after `oo = NULL` so the already-allocated
`new` is reused on the next iteration rather than overwritten.

------------------
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
commit 2090b05803faab8a9fa62fbff871007862cac1b7 upstream.
nfsd_vfs_write() and nfsd_commit() both call filemap_check_wb_err() to
detect deferred writeback errors, but neither rotates the server's write
verifier (nn->writeverf) when this check fails. Every other
durable-storage-failure path in these functions calls
commit_reset_write_verifier() before returning an error.
The missing rotation means clients holding UNSTABLE write data under the
current verifier will COMMIT, receive the unchanged verifier back, and
conclude their data is durable — silently dropping data that failed
writeback. This violates the UNSTABLE+COMMIT durability contract
(RFC 1813 §3.3.7, RFC 8881 §18.32).
Add commit_reset_write_verifier() calls at both filemap_check_wb_err()
error sites, matching the pattern used by adjacent error paths in the
same functions. The helper already filters -EAGAIN and -ESTALE
internally, so the calls are unconditionally safe.

------------------
From: Michael Bommarito <michael.bommarito@gmail.com>
commit 2c6bb3c40bc24f6aa8dfbe6fe98c3ad6389203f2 upstream.
ff_layout_alloc_lseg() decodes the filehandle-version array count
from the flexfiles layout body. The value is used as the count for
kzalloc_objs(), and the current code only rejects NULL.
A zero count yields ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which can be stored in
dss_info->fh_versions even though later flexfiles paths assume that at
least one filehandle version exists.
Reject fh_count == 0 before the allocation, matching the existing zero
version_count validation in the flexfiles GETDEVICEINFO parser.
A QEMU/KASAN run with a malformed flexfiles layout hit:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]

ff_layout_encode_layoutreturn+0x683/0x970

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
The patched kernel rejects the malformed layout without KASAN/oops/panic,
and a valid fh_count=1 regression still opens, reads, and unmounts cleanly.

------------------
From: Michael Bommarito <michael.bommarito@gmail.com>
commit 41fe0f7b84f0cb822ae10ab08592996a592b2a25 upstream.
nfs4_decode_mp_ds_addr() decodes the r_netid and r_addr opaques of a
netaddr4 from a GETDEVICEINFO multipath-DS body, then immediately
calls strrchr(buf, '.') to locate the port separator. Both decodes
use xdr_stream_decode_string_dup(), and the current code checks only
"nlen < 0" / "rlen < 0" before dereferencing the returned string.
When the on-wire opaque has length zero, xdr_stream_decode_opaque_inline()
returns 0 and xdr_stream_decode_string_dup() falls through to its
"*str = NULL; return ret" tail, leaving buf NULL with a return value
of 0. The "< 0" check does not catch this, and the next line is
strrchr(NULL, '.'), a kernel NULL pointer dereference reachable from
any pNFS-flexfile client mounted against a malicious or compromised
metadata server.
Reject the zero-length cases explicitly so the decoder fails with
-EBADMSG (treated as a malformed GETDEVICEINFO body) instead of
panicking the client.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Igor Raits <igor.raits@gmail.com>
commit 238e9b51aa29f48b6243212a3b75c8e48d6b96fd upstream.
After a server returns NFS4ERR_DELAY for an NFSv4 CREATE issued by
mkdir(2), the client correctly waits and retries. When the retry
succeeds, however, mkdir(2) can still surface -EEXIST to userspace
even though the directory was just created on the server.
Reproducer (random 16-hex names so collisions are not the cause)
against an in-kernel Linux nfsd; reproduces under both NFSv4.0 and
NFSv4.2:
N=2000000; base=/var/gdc/export
for ((i=1; i<=N; i++)); do
d=$base/$(openssl rand -hex 8)
mkdir "$d" 2>/dev/null || echo "$(date +%T) failed loop=$i $d"
rmdir "$d" 2>/dev/null
done
Failures cluster at the cadence at which the server-side auth/export
cache refresh path causes nfsd to return NFS4ERR_DELAY for CREATE.
A wire trace of one failure (the three CREATE RPCs all come from a
single mkdir(2), generated by the do-while in nfs4_proc_mkdir()):
client -> server CREATE name=... -> NFS4ERR_DELAY
~100 ms later
client -> server CREATE name=... -> NFS4_OK (dir created)
~80 us later
client -> server CREATE name=... -> NFS4ERR_EXIST (correct)
Since commit dd862da61e91 ("nfs: fix incorrect handling of large-number
NFS errors in nfs4_do_mkdir()"), nfs4_handle_exception() is called only
when _nfs4_proc_mkdir() returned an error. That gate breaks retry-state
hygiene: nfs4_do_handle_exception() resets exception.{delay,recovering,
retry} to 0 on entry, so calling it on success is what previously
cleared the retry flag set by the preceding NFS4ERR_DELAY iteration.
With the gate in place, exception.retry stays at 1 after the successful
retry, the loop runs once more, and the resulting CREATE for an
already-created name yields NFS4ERR_EXIST -> -EEXIST to userspace.
Drop the conditional and call nfs4_handle_exception() unconditionally,
matching every other do-while in fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c (nfs4_proc_symlink(),
nfs4_proc_link(), etc.). The dentry/status separation introduced by
that commit is preserved.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
commit d189f224308c8ac3feeea8e442c99922bd18f1b2 upstream.
It was overlooked to call ida_free() after a failed nfs_alloc_iostats() call.
Thus add the missed function call in an if branch.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hem Parekh <hemparekh1596@gmail.com>
commit 1ef06004ed4bd6d3ed8c840d9d1a376b66d4935b upstream.
The permission-check ACE walk in smb_check_perm_dacl() validates the ACE
header size and caps sid.num_subauth at SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES, but it
never checks that ace->size is actually large enough to contain
num_subauth sub-authorities before compare_sids() dereferences them.
CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE covers the SID header up to but excluding the
sub_auth[] array, and offsetof(struct smb_ace, sid) is the ACE header,
so the existing guards only guarantee the 8-byte SID base, i.e. zero
sub-authorities. compare_sids() then reads ace->sid.sub_auth[i] for
i < min(local_sid->num_subauth, ace->sid.num_subauth). The local
comparison SIDs (sid_everyone, sid_unix_NFS_mode, and the id_to_sid()
result) always have at least one sub-authority, and an attacker controls
the ACE revision and authority bytes (which lie within the in-bounds SID
base), so they can match one of those SIDs and force the sub_auth read.
A crafted ACE with size == 16 and num_subauth >= 1 placed at the tail of
the security descriptor therefore causes a heap out-of-bounds read of up
to SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES * sizeof(__le32) bytes past the pntsd
allocation. The security descriptor is loaded by ksmbd_vfs_get_sd_xattr()
into a buffer sized exactly to the on-disk data (kzalloc(sd_size) in
ndr_decode_v4_ntacl()), so the read lands past the allocation. The
malformed descriptor can be stored verbatim via SMB2_SET_INFO (the DACL
is not normalised before being written to the security.NTACL xattr) and
the read fires on a subsequent SMB2_CREATE access check, making this
reachable by an authenticated client on a share that uses ACL xattrs.
Add the missing num_subauth-versus-ace_size check, mirroring the
identical guards already present in the sibling parsers parse_dacl() and
smb_inherit_dacl().
Fixes: d07b26f39246 ("ksmbd: require minimum ACE size in smb_check_perm_dacl()")

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stepan Ionichev <sozdayvek@gmail.com>
commit 10fc708b4de7f86002d2d735a2dbf3b5b7f65692 upstream.
dw8250_probe() registers the 8250 port via serial8250_register_8250_port()
and then, if the device has a clock, registers a clock notifier. If
clk_notifier_register() fails, probe returns the error but leaves the
8250 port registered. The matching serial8250_unregister_port() lives
in dw8250_remove(), which is not called when probe fails, so the port
slot stays occupied until the device is rebound or the system is
rebooted. The devm-allocated driver data is freed while the port still
references it (via the saved private_data and serial_in/serial_out
callbacks), so any access to that port slot before a rebind is a
use-after-free hazard.
Unregister the port on the clk_notifier_register() error path.

6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: HanQuan <eilaimemedsnaimel@gmail.com>
commit 5ba9950bc9078e19b69cca1e56d1553b125c6857 upstream.
In tcp_ao_delete_key(), the del_async path skips the current_key
and rnext_key validity checks present in the synchronous path,
assuming these pointers are always NULL on LISTEN sockets. However,
if a key was added with set_current=1/set_rnext=1 while the socket
was in CLOSE state, current_key and rnext_key will be non-NULL
after listen() transitions the socket to LISTEN.
When such a key is deleted with del_async=1, hlist_del_rcu() and
call_rcu() free the key without clearing the dangling pointers.
After the RCU grace period, getsockopt(TCP_AO_INFO) dereferences
current_key->sndid and rnext_key->rcvid from freed slab memory.
Clear current_key and rnext_key in the del_async path when they
reference the key being deleted.

commit 2f6701a5ce6257ae7a64ddc6d89d0a08d2a034f8 upstream.
The fix for tcp-fast-open ensures that the connect permission is being
mediated correctly but it didn't add an artifact to the feature set to
advertise the fix is available. Add an artifact so that the test suite
can identify if the fix has not been properly applied or a new
unexpected regression has occurred.

Hi Greg,
It looks like this patch was backported, but the preceding patch [1]
in the series was not bacported to the stable branches. Both this and its
prerequisite have the same Fixes tag.
Not having the prerequisite will result in a NULL derefernce.
Could we please add [1] to the stable branches?
Thanks!

Now queued the prerequisite fd38b75c4b43 ("kernel/fork: clear PF_BLOCK_TS
in copy_process()") for 7.1.y, 6.18.y, and 6.12.y, thanks!

This is a problem. Can some light be shed on why only 1 patch of the 2
got applied? This could lead to big problems, which seems to be the
case for this one in fact.
A Depends-on could be used here, but it's pretty hard for a submitter
to do that, as the sha isn't known before it goes into the maintainers
tree.

This is on me, I only took a "subset" of the patches tagged for stable
for this round of releases as I was facing a huge backlog of stuff
(everyone loves to wait for -rc1 for cc: stable fixes), combined with me
having travelled for 6 weeks straight for conferences which didn't allow
me a ton of time to do stable kernel work to keep on top of the pile.
The patch wasn't lost, and is still in my queue to process (along with
748 other patches) it just wasn't obvious that there was a dependancy
and that I had to take them both in order, that's on me, sorry. This is
also why we have review, to catch things when I do something stupid like
this :)

Agreed, that wouldn't really work, and isn't normally needed.
But again, maybe trying to get patches that are cc: stable into Linus
_before_ -rc1 is better? Hey, I can dream...

At least this one would've been avoided if patches marked as fixing the
same upstream commit would never get split. Which does seem like a
(very) sane default! Particularly when they are part of the same
posting, it's not like they landed at separate times.
People get busy and life gets in the way, I do think some fixed rules
like that might be helpful.
> also why we have review, to catch things when I do something stupid like

Agree, but at the same time, requiring review to catch these is fraught
with error. Not only do maintainers and developers get a lot of emails
from stable, we need to carefully sift through them. And rely on the
original patch author to do the same. Which in this case thankfully did
happen, but... People also don't necessarily pay full attention all the
time, there's work and vacation and a bunch of other things that get in
the way.
This is different than normal review, where inclusion is gated on the
review. If nobody says anything, it'll go in.

I send out fixes _every week_, -rc1 or -rcX changes nothing in my
workflow.

I have never considered searching to show which patches say they fix the
same commit. Next time I do a "not all of the patches at once" I will
do that. As this hasn't come up in the past before, because normally I
can keep on top of the flood, it shouldn't be something we have to
institute very often.

That's because these patches have already been accepted into our tree
and gone through our review process. Backporting them usually should be
trivial, it's only the minority that are in series and dependant on
others in that series, so this doesn't come up often.

Based on the huge number of patches for stable that show up in -rc1, you
are in the minority :)

I think the relationships are probably a bit loser than "fixes the same
commit", could also be things like "these two patches fix commits in the
same original series". Actually something that would be ideal to just
have an LLM vet, with some basic rules, honed down the line? Stable is
important to me, but it does feel a bit fast and lose sometimes, some
more process (and particularly automated process) might not be a bad
idea?

Right, but they were sent in for a specific tree, and all dependencies
were either in that tree already, or part of the series. That's
different than the stable side.

While that is probably true, I also think it's unavoidable to have more
stable going patches post -rc1, as lots of late fixes for eg 7.1 and
earlier end up being staged for 7.2 and hence end up as part of the
bigger pile from maintainers. Early in the -rc series I'm more liberal
in what I apply for the current version, later in the -rc series there's
a higher likelihood that fixes that should go to stable does end up in
my next branch and go in over the merge window. I bet this is pretty
common, as we expect upstream to calm down as we get near final.

Again, normally this isn't an issue as we can keep on top of the patch
feed, but for this release, I didn't, and had to pick/choose what to
include in the tree. So adding additional stuff to our process that
normally will not be used might not be a good use of our time :)
