In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/meson: Fix refcount leak in meson_encoder_hdmi_init of_find_device_by_node() takes reference, we should use put_device() to release it when not need anymore. Add missing put_device() in error path to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ath11k: fix netdev open race Make sure to allocate resources needed before registering the device. This specifically avoids having a racing open() trigger a BUG_ON() in mod_timer() when ath11k_mac_op_start() is called before the mon_reap_timer as been set up. I did not see this issue with next-20220310, but I hit it on every probe with next-20220511. Perhaps some timing changed in between.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ath11k: fix missing skb drop on htc_tx_completion error On htc_tx_completion error the skb is not dropped. This is wrong since the completion_handler logic expect the skb to be consumed anyway even when an error is triggered.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio-gpu: fix a missing check to avoid NULL dereference 'cache_ent' could be set NULL inside virtio_gpu_cmd_get_capset() and it will lead to a NULL dereference by a lately use of it (i.e., ptr = cache_ent->caps_cache). Fix it with a NULL check. [ kraxel: minor codestyle fixup ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: 8852a: rfk: fix div 0 exception The DPK is a kind of RF calibration whose algorithm is to fine tune parameters and calibrate, and check the result. If the result isn't good enough, it could adjust parameters and try again. This issue is to read and show the result, but it could be a negative calibration result that causes divisor 0 and core dump. So, fix it by phy_div() that does division only if divisor isn't zero; otherwise, zero is adopted. divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 1 PID: 728 Comm: wpa_supplicant Not tainted 5.10.114-16019-g462a1661811a #1 <HASH:d024 28> RIP: 0010:rtw8852a_dpk+0x14ae/0x288f [rtw89_core] RSP: 0018:ffffa9bb412a7520 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000000180fc RDI: ffffa141d01023c0 RBP: ffffa9bb412a76a0 R08: 0000000000001319 R09: 00000000ffffff92 R10: ffffffffc0292de3 R11: ffffffffc00d2f51 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffffa141d01023c0 R14: ffffffffc0290250 R15: ffffa141d0102638 FS: 00007fa99f5c2740(0000) GS:ffffa142e5e80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000013e8e010 CR3: 0000000110d2c000 CR4: 0000000000750ee0 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: rtw89_core_sta_add+0x95/0x9c [rtw89_core <HASH:d239 29>] rtw89_ops_sta_state+0x5d/0x108 [rtw89_core <HASH:d239 29>] drv_sta_state+0x115/0x66f [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] sta_info_insert_rcu+0x45c/0x713 [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] sta_info_insert+0xf/0x1b [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] ieee80211_prep_connection+0x9d6/0xb0c [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] ieee80211_mgd_auth+0x2aa/0x352 [mac80211 <HASH:81fe 30>] cfg80211_mlme_auth+0x160/0x1f6 [cfg80211 <HASH:00cd 31>] nl80211_authenticate+0x2e5/0x306 [cfg80211 <HASH:00cd 31>] genl_rcv_msg+0x371/0x3a1 ? nl80211_stop_sched_scan+0xe5/0xe5 [cfg80211 <HASH:00cd 31>] ? genl_rcv+0x36/0x36 netlink_rcv_skb+0x8a/0xf9 genl_rcv+0x28/0x36 netlink_unicast+0x27b/0x3a0 netlink_sendmsg+0x2aa/0x469 sock_sendmsg_nosec+0x49/0x4d ____sys_sendmsg+0xe5/0x213 __sys_sendmsg+0xec/0x157 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0xd7/0x116 do_syscall_64+0x43/0x55 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7fa99f6e689b

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcutorture: Fix ksoftirqd boosting timing and iteration The RCU priority boosting can fail in two situations: 1) If (nr_cpus= > maxcpus=), which means if the total number of CPUs is higher than those brought online at boot, then torture_onoff() may later bring up CPUs that weren't online on boot. Now since rcutorture initialization only boosts the ksoftirqds of the CPUs that have been set online on boot, the CPUs later set online by torture_onoff won't benefit from the boost, making RCU priority boosting fail. 2) The ksoftirqd kthreads are boosted after the creation of rcu_torture_boost() kthreads, which opens a window large enough for these rcu_torture_boost() kthreads to wait (despite running at FIFO priority) for ksoftirqds that are still running at SCHED_NORMAL priority. The issues can trigger for example with: ./kvm.sh --configs TREE01 --kconfig "CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y" [ 34.968561] rcu-torture: !!!

It first holds the spinlock bond->stats_lock, and then call hinic_get_stats64() to collect hinic device's stats. However, hinic_get_stats64() calls `down(&nic_dev->mgmt_lock)` to protect its critical section, which may schedule current task out. And if system is under high pressure, the task cannot be woken up immediately, which eventually triggers kernel hung panic. Since previous patch has replaced hinic_dev.tx_stats/rx_stats with local variable in hinic_get_stats64(), there is nothing need to be protected by lock, so just removing down()/up() is ok.

This can result in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel. The panic is usually of the form below: $ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G' <snip> BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0xc000c01fff7f0000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000837974 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] <snip> NIP [c000000000837974] ima_restore_measurement_list+0x94/0x6c0 LR [c00000000083b55c] ima_load_kexec_buffer+0xac/0x160 Call Trace: [c00000000371fa80] [c00000000083b55c] ima_load_kexec_buffer+0xac/0x160 [c00000000371fb00] [c0000000020512c4] ima_init+0x80/0x108 [c00000000371fb70] [c0000000020514dc] init_ima+0x4c/0x120 [c00000000371fbf0] [c000000000012240] do_one_initcall+0x60/0x2c0 [c00000000371fcc0] [c000000002004ad0] kernel_init_freeable+0x344/0x3ec [c00000000371fda0] [c0000000000128a4] kernel_init+0x34/0x1b0 [c00000000371fe10] [c00000000000ce64] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x64 Instruction dump: f92100b8 f92100c0 90e10090 910100a0 4182050c 282a0017 3bc00000 40810330 7c0802a6 fb610198 7c9b2378 f80101d0 <a1240000> 2c090001 40820614 e9240010 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Fix this issue by checking returned PFN range of previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer with page_is_ram() to ensure correct memory bounds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soundwire: revisit driver bind/unbind and callbacks In the SoundWire probe, we store a pointer from the driver ops into the 'slave' structure. This can lead to kernel oopses when unbinding codec drivers, e.g. with the following sequence to remove machine driver and codec driver. /sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_sof_sdw /sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_rt711 The full details can be found in the BugLink below, for reference the two following examples show different cases of driver ops/callbacks being invoked after the driver .remove(). kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000150 kernel: Workqueue: events cdns_update_slave_status_work [soundwire_cadence] kernel: RIP: 0010:mutex_lock+0x19/0x30 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: ? sdw_handle_slave_status+0x426/0xe00 [soundwire_bus 94ff184bf398570c3f8ff7efe9e32529f532e4ae] kernel: ? newidle_balance+0x26a/0x400 kernel: ? cdns_update_slave_status_work+0x1e9/0x200 [soundwire_cadence 1bcf98eebe5ba9833cd433323769ac923c9c6f82] kernel: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc07654c8 kernel: Workqueue: pm pm_runtime_work kernel: RIP: 0010:sdw_bus_prep_clk_stop+0x6f/0x160 [soundwire_bus] kernel: Call Trace: kernel: <TASK> kernel: sdw_cdns_clock_stop+0xb5/0x1b0 [soundwire_cadence 1bcf98eebe5ba9833cd433323769ac923c9c6f82] kernel: intel_suspend_runtime+0x5f/0x120 [soundwire_intel aca858f7c87048d3152a4a41bb68abb9b663a1dd] kernel: ? dpm_sysfs_remove+0x60/0x60 This was not detected earlier in Intel tests since the tests first remove the parent PCI device and shut down the bus. The sequence above is a corner case which keeps the bus operational but without a driver bound. While trying to solve this kernel oopses, it became clear that the existing SoundWire bus does not deal well with the unbind case. Commit 528be501b7d4a ("soundwire: sdw_slave: add probe_complete structure and new fields") added a 'probed' status variable and a 'probe_complete' struct completion. This status is however not reset on remove and likewise the 'probe complete' is not re-initialized, so the bind/unbind/bind test cases would fail. The timeout used before the 'update_status' callback was also a bad idea in hindsight, there should really be no timing assumption as to if and when a driver is bound to a device. An initial draft was based on device_lock() and device_unlock() was tested. This proved too complicated, with deadlocks created during the suspend-resume sequences, which also use the same device_lock/unlock() as the bind/unbind sequences. On a CometLake device, a bad DSDT/BIOS caused spurious resumes and the use of device_lock() caused hangs during suspend. After multiple weeks or testing and painful reverse-engineering of deadlocks on different devices, we looked for alternatives that did not interfere with the device core. A bus notifier was used successfully to keep track of DRIVER_BOUND and DRIVER_UNBIND events. This solved the bind-unbind-bind case in tests, but it can still be defeated with a theoretical corner case where the memory is freed by a .remove while the callback is in use. The notifier only helps make sure the driver callbacks are valid, but not that the memory allocated in probe remains valid while the callbacks are invoked. This patch suggests the introduction of a new 'sdw_dev_lock' mutex protecting probe/remove and all driver callbacks. Since this mutex is 'local' to SoundWire only, it does not interfere with existing locks and does not create deadlocks. In addition, this patch removes the 'probe_complete' completion, instead we directly invoke the 'update_status' from the probe routine. That removes any sort of timing dependency and a much better support for the device/driver model, the driver could be bound before the bus started, or eons after the bus started and the hardware would be properly initialized in all cases.
