[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 20/39] kernel: freezer should treat PF_IO_WORKER like PF_KTHREAD for freezing

[Sasha Levin]

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

[ Upstream commit 15b2219facadec583c24523eed40fa45865f859f ]

Don't send fake signals to PF_IO_WORKER threads, they don't accept
signals. Just treat them like kthreads in this regard, all they need
is a wakeup as no forced kernel/user transition is needed.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 30/39] thermal/core: Add NULL pointer check before using cooling device stats

[Sasha Levin]

From: Manaf Meethalavalappu Pallikunhi <manafm@codeaurora.org>

[ Upstream commit 2046a24ae121cd107929655a6aaf3b8c5beea01f ]

There is a possible chance that some cooling device stats buffer
allocation fails due to very high cooling device max state value.
Later cooling device update sysfs can try to access stats data
for the same cooling device. It will lead to NULL pointer
dereference issue.

Add a NULL pointer check before accessing thermal cooling device
stats data. It fixes the following bug
