| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost-vdpa: don't install the eventfd_ctx_fdget() error in config_ctx
vhost_vdpa_set_config_call() swaps the eventfd_ctx_fdget() return value
into v->config_ctx before checking it, so on failure the field briefly
holds an ERR_PTR:
ctx = fd == VHOST_FILE_UNBIND ? NULL : eventfd_ctx_fdget(fd);
swap(ctx, v->config_ctx);
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(ctx))
eventfd_ctx_put(ctx);
if (IS_ERR(v->config_ctx)) {
long ret = PTR_ERR(v->config_ctx);
v->config_ctx = NULL;
return ret;
}
Commit 0bde59c1723a ("vhost-vdpa: set v->config_ctx to NULL if
eventfd_ctx_fdget() fails") added that clearing, and spelled out the
invariant the rest of the file relies on: "we consider 'v->config_ctx'
valid if it is not NULL". The window between the swap and the clearing
still breaks it. vhost_vdpa_config_cb() only tests for NULL, so a config
interrupt delivered inside the window hands the ERR_PTR to
eventfd_signal().
Check the fd before installing it instead. That closes the window and
matches how vhost_vring_ioctl() handles the same failure for the vq call
fd.
It also stops a rejected fd from tearing down a config interrupt that was
working: until now the swap replaced the live context and put it, so
after an EBADF the device silently stopped delivering config interrupts
until userspace installed a new fd. |

tick/broadcast: Plug clockevents replacement race
朱恺乾 reported and decoded the following race condition when a broadcast
device is replaced:
CPUA CPUB
__tick_broadcast_oneshot_control()
bc = tick_broadcast_device.evtdev;
tick_install_broadcast_device(dev)
clockevents_exchange_device(cur, dev)
shutdown(cur);
detach(cur);
cur->handler = noop;
tick_broadcast_device.evtdev = dev;
tick_broadcast_set_event(bc, next_event); <- FAIL: arms a detached device.
If the original broadcast device has a restricted interrupt affinity mask
and the last CPU in that mask goes offline then the BUG() in
tick_cleanup_dead_cpu() triggers because the clockevent device is not in
detached state.
The reason for this is that tick_install_broadcast_device() is not
serialized vs. tick broadcast operations.
The obvious cure is to serialize tick_install_broadcast_device() with
tick_broadcast_lock against a concurrent tick broadcast operation.
That requires to split clockevents_exchange_device() into two parts, one
which does the exchange, shutdown and detach operation and the other which
drops the module reference count. This is required because the module
reference cannot be dropped while holding tick_broadcast_lock.
Let clockevents_exchange_device() do both operations as before, but let the
broadcast device code take the two step approach and do the device
exchange under tick_broadcast_lock and drop the module reference count
after releasing it. |

scsi: qla2xxx: Serialize NVMe unsol ctx list with a per-fcport lock
The fcport->unsol_ctx_head list is modified from several contexts without
a common lock. Entries are added in qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() from the
response queue ISR (under the qpair qp_lock), while they are removed from
qla2xxx_process_purls_pkt() (DPC/purex worker), qla_nvme_xmt_ls_rsp()
(NVMe-FC transport callback) and qla_nvme_release_lsrsp_cmd_kref() (SRB
completion). The qpair qp_lock cannot serialize this per-fcport list since
multiqueue adapters add entries through different qpairs, so a concurrent
add and delete (or two concurrent deletes) can corrupt the list pointers.
Introduce a dedicated per-fcport spinlock, unsol_ctx_lock, initialized in
qla2x00_alloc_fcport(), and take it around every list_add_tail()/list_del()
on unsol_ctx_head. The add nests under the existing qp_lock; no delete path
takes qp_lock, so the lock order is consistent and deadlock free. |

smb: client: fix races in cifsd thread creation
The cifsd demultiplex thread can run and access tcp_ses before the parent
thread has finished populating tcp_ses, which the worker thread accesses
locklessly.
Also, the kthread_run macro may start the thread before returning the
thread pointer. Because the pointer is part of the structure that the
thread can access, if the kernel is preempted after the thread is spawned,
but before the thread pointer is populated and the thread attempts to exit,
it will sleep, waiting for a SIGKILL signal.
Fix this by moving creation of the thread to after all of tcp_ses'es
fields are populated, and spawning the thread last, using a split
kthread_create/wake_up_process logic. |

PCI: mediatek: Protect root bus removal with rescan lock
Hold the pci_rescan_remove_lock lock while stopping and removing a root bus

sysfs. Such races may lead to use-after-free issues or system crashes.

btrfs: fix reloc root cleanup in merge_reloc_roots()
If the root we got has zero root refs in its root item, we are resetting
the root's ->reloc_root without using barriers like we do everywhere else.
Sashiko complained about this while reviewing another patch, and it's
correct (see the Link tag below).
Also, we should not clear BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE from the root unless
the root points to the reloc root we have.
Fix this by using clear_reloc_root(), which issues the memory barrier
after setting the root's ->reloc_root to NULL and before clearing the bit
BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE from the root. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/core: Make core-sched flips wait for in-flight selections
Core scheduling's pick_next_task() operates on all sibling rqs under one
acquisition of the shared core-wide lock. A ->pick_task() that releases the
rq lock leaves every sibling __lock momentarily free, letting
__sched_core_flip(false) complete mid-selection and rebind rq_lockp() under
it. The selection resumes on the split locks, touching sibling state it no
longer protects, and __schedule() finally releases a lock that was never
taken while leaking the one that was.
Count in-flight core-wide selections in the leader's rq->core_pick_in_flight
and make __sched_core_flip() wait for the count to drain. The count only
changes under the shared lock, which the flip holds while sampling, so no
other ordering is needed. The wait can repeat while selections overlap, but
the flip backs off between samples and flips are rare cookie-lifetime
events.
sched_core_cpu_deactivate() moves the count to the new leader - a stale copy
left behind would bias it forever if that CPU later returns as its own
leader. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: safely drain sessions during logoff
SMB3 multichannel allows requests for one session to run on multiple
connections. Wait for all channels bound to a session before freeing
shared session objects.
A deferred byte-range lock remains counted as a running request and only
wakes when its file closes. Wake blocked locks during the drain without
unpublishing or modifying their file objects. Synchronous CANCEL requests
must invoke their cancellation callback to wake pending operations, while
CHANGE_NOTIFY completion remains specific to the asynchronous path.
Serialize session teardown with channel registration and previous-session
cleanup, and use atomic work-state transitions so LOGOFF, CANCEL, and
connection teardown invoke cancellation callbacks only once. |

wifi: mac80211: ibss: wait for in-flight TX on disconnect
While leaving an IBSS in ieee80211_ibss_disconnect() mac80211 flushes
stations, turns the carrier off and immediately tells the driver to
leave as well. While there may be synchronize_net() in station flush
and in this code later, packets can still be transmitted due to
cross-CPU race conditions after carrier off is set.
Therefore, it's possible for a race to happen where a TX to the
driver occurs while or after telling it to leave the IBSS. This can
be confusing to drivers, and in the case of iwlwifi leads to an
attempt to use invalid queues.
Move netif_carrier_off() to occur before sta_info_flush() during
IBSS disconnect, and add synchronize_net() if flushing didn't,
so that the synchronize_net() always happens between turning the
carrier off and telling the driver, avoiding this race. |

PCI: plda: Protect root bus removal with rescan lock

mm/slab: take n->list_lock in __slab_try_return_freelist() to avoid race
Commit ba7425312607 ("mm, slab: add an optimistic
__slab_try_return_freelist()") incorrectly assumed that nobody has freed
an object to the slab as long as slab->freelist is NULL and cmpxchg
succeeds.
However, as reported by Hyunwoo Kim [1], other CPUs might have freed
an object to the slab, insert the slab to the partial list, then
allocated an object from the slab, and be in the middle of removing
the slab from the list under n->list_lock.
Since __refill_objects_node() puts the slab back on pc.slabs
outside n->list_lock, it might insert the slab into that list while
the slab is concurrently being removed from n->partial.
This led to a list corruption [1]:
list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev
(ffff888100000248), but was dead000000000122.
(next=ffffea000416e410).

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This is a classic ABA problem where cmpxchg succeeds but the state has
changed since __refill_objects_node() took the freelist from the slab.
As Vlastimil Babka mentioned [2], it should be rare to return more than
one slab (due to the racy read of slab->counters in
get_partial_node_bulk()). Therefore, instead of introducing additional
complexity, acquire and release n->list_lock twice in the worst case.
Return the slab directly to the partial list and hold n->list_lock
across the cmpxchg and add_partial(). This is similar to the initial
version of commit ba7425312607 [3]. This is enough to avoid the race as
the list manipulation is serialized by n->list_lock. While at it,
bring back unlikely() hint now that the condition is unlikely. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix racy access to FDP placement id array
nvme_query_fdp_info() is called per-path and therefore prone to races.
It populates head->nr_plids/head->plids for fdp registration.
But nothing protects that pair from concurrent access - two paths scanning
the same namespace can race to populate it.
Avoid the race by moving this initialization work to nvme_alloc_ns_head()
which is called once per shared namespace. |

netfs: Fix readahead synchronisation issues by loading all folios upfront
There are some synchronisation issues that derive from the app thread
adding more folios to the rolling buffer whilst the collector thread is
looking at them or trying to clear them, such as determining the setting of
front_folio_order when the next folio hasn't been added yet,
The reason for the rolling buffer approach is that loading the buffer
upfront and then dropping all the refs just acquired is quite a slow
operation, and loading progressively allows some of the cost to be deferred
until after at least some of the I/O is started.
Instead, a better way is to load all the folios into the rolling buffer
upfront - and then drop the refs later, once the I/O is in progress. (Even
better would be for the refs not to be there at all.)
Fix this by changing the rolling buffer loader to load all the folios
selected by the VM for readahead upfront into the folio queue. The folio
queue is allocated a batch worth at a time as we don't know how many folios
are involved (the readahead_control struct, alas, has a page count, not a
folio count).
The folio refs acquired from readahead are then dropped in bulk once the
first subrequest is dispatched as it's quite a slow operation. The
collector waits for NETFS_RREQ_NEED_PUT_RA_REFS to be cleared so that it
doesn't unlock folios before the xarray has been scanned for them.
This simplifies the buffer handling later and isn't noticeably slower as
the xarray doesn't need to be modified and the folios are all already
pre-locked. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
coresight: perf: Retrieve path and source from event data
ETM perf callbacks currently use the per-CPU csdev_src pointer, which
can race with updates during device registration and unregistration.
The AUX setup already builds and stores the path in the event data.
Use this path to retrieve the source instead of csdev_src to avoid
the race.
Export coresight_get_source() and add etm_event_get_ctxt_path() to
retrieve the context's path and its source with READ_ONCE() /
WRITE_ONCE() accessors. Give the comments to explain why this
approach is safe when pause or resume callbacks preempt the disable
callback (e.g. via NMI). |

which matches the following BUG_ON() in alternative.c:
/*
* If something went wrong, crash and burn since recovery paths are not
* implemented.
*/
BUG_ON(!pages[0] || (cross_page_boundary && !pages[1]));
This can happen if vmalloc_to_page() fails, for any reason. Such can happen
if text poking races with CPA, which can possibly result in the collapsing
of page tables (or breaking of PMD hugepages). It is not a problem for most
users of vmalloc_to_page() (they solely own the vmalloc'd range) but, when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX=y, various modules own a single execmem vmalloc
range, and can call set_memory_*() in parallel on it. This can happen to
race against __text_poke and cause havoc in vmalloc_to_page().
Fix it by excluding against CPA using the init_mm mmap read lock.

RDMA/nldev: Fix locking when accessing mr->pd
Sashiko points out that, due to rereg_mr, the PD is actually variable and
all the touches in nldev are racy.
Use mr->device instead of mr->pd->device.
Getting the PD restrack ID is more tricky. To avoid disturbing all the
happy paths, add an rdma_restrack_sync() operation which is sort of like
flush_workqueue() or synchronize_irq(): after it returns, all the old
nldev touches to the mr are gone and everything sees the new PD. This
makes it safe to reach into the PD pointer. |

ring-buffer: Fix subbuf resize race with ring buffer readers
trace_buffer subbuf_size is read lockless in ring_buffer_read_page() and
ring_buffer_read_start(), while it can simultaneously be resized with
ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set().
Instead of trace_buffer::subbuf_size, use bpage::order in
ring_buffer_read_start() and ring_buffer_read_page().
In ring_buffer_read_start(), even with resize_disabled, there is still a
possibility of a race with a buffer modification. Hold the trace_buffer
mutex to synchronise with any pending ring buffer order modification.
trace_buffer::subbuf_size is now actually useless, remove it. Also,
create accessors rb_subbuf_capacity() and rb_page_capacity() which
return the actual size available for storing events, while
rb_subbuf_size() returns the actual subbuf page-size. |

crypto: qat - protect service table iterations with service_lock
The service_table list is protected by service_lock when entries are
added or removed (in adf_service_add() and adf_service_remove()), but
several functions iterate over the list without holding this lock.
A concurrent adf_service_register() or adf_service_unregister() call
could modify the list during traversal, leading to list corruption or
a use-after-free.
Fix this by holding service_lock across all list_for_each_entry()
iterations of service_table in adf_dev_init(), adf_dev_start(),
adf_dev_stop(), adf_dev_shutdown(), adf_dev_restarting_notify(),
adf_dev_restarted_notify(), and adf_error_notifier().
The lock ordering is safe: callers of the static helpers (adf_dev_up()
and adf_dev_down()) acquire state_lock before service_lock, and no
event_hld callback or service_lock holder ever acquires state_lock in
the reverse order. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rseq: Prevent hard lockup on granted time slice extension
__exit_to_user_mode_loop() invokes rseq_grant_timeslice_extension() with
interrupts enabled. If the extension is granted it invokes
hrtimer_rearm_deferred_tif() to ensure that a pending deferred hrtimer
rearm is handled before exiting to user space.
Though this invokes __hrtimer_rearm_deferred() which expects to be invoked
with interrupts disabled as it takes hrtimer_cpu_base::lock with
raw_spin_lock(). That's a livelock waiting to happen and caught by lockdep:
WARNING: ./include/linux/hrtimer_rearm.h:17 at irqentry_exit, CPU#1: slice_test
WARNING: inconsistent lock state
inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} -> {HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage.

hrtimer_rearm_deferred_tif() in rseq_grant_timeslice_extension().
