[PATCH 5.4.y] m68k: Add missing mmap_read_lock() to sys_cacheflush()

by Finn Thain

From: Liam Howlett <liam.howlett(a)oracle.com> [ Upstream commit f829b4b212a315b912cb23fd10aaf30534bb5ce9 ] When the superuser flushes the entire cache, the mmap_read_lock() is not taken, but mmap_read_unlock() is called. Add the missing mmap_read_lock() call. Fixes: cd2567b6850b1648 ("m68k: call find_vma with the mmap_sem held in sys_cacheflush()") Signed-off-by: Liam R.

[PATCH 6.1.y] ipv6: Fix soft lockups in fib6_select_path under high next hop churn

by Rajani kantha

From: Omid Ehtemam-Haghighi <omid.ehtemamhaghighi(a)menlosecurity.com> [ Upstream commit d9ccb18f83ea2bb654289b6ecf014fd267cc988b ] Soft lockups have been observed on a cluster of Linux-based edge routers located in a highly dynamic environment. Using the `bird` service, these routers continuously update BGP-advertised routes due to frequently changing nexthop destinations, while also managing significant IPv6 traffic. The lockups occur during the traversal of the multipath circular linked-list in the `fib6_select_path` function, particularly while iterating through the siblings in the list. The issue typically arises when the nodes of the linked list are unexpectedly deleted concurrently on a different core—indicated by their 'next' and 'previous' elements pointing back to the node itself and their reference count dropping to zero. This results in an infinite loop, leading to a soft lockup that triggers a system panic via the watchdog timer. Apply RCU primitives in the problematic code sections to resolve the issue. Where necessary, update the references to fib6_siblings to annotate or use the RCU APIs. Include a test script that reproduces the issue. The script periodically updates the routing table while generating a heavy load of outgoing IPv6 traffic through multiple iperf3 clients. It consistently induces infinite soft lockups within a couple of minutes.

[PATCH 6.6.y] RDMA/bnxt_re: Avoid CPU lockups due fifo occupancy check loop

by alvalan9＠foxmail.com

From: Selvin Xavier <selvin.xavier(a)broadcom.com> [ Upstream commit 8be3e5b0c96beeefe9d5486b96575d104d3e7d17 ] Driver waits indefinitely for the fifo occupancy to go below a threshold as soon as the pacing interrupt is received. This can cause soft lockup on one of the processors, if the rate of DB is very high. Add a loop count for FPGA and exit the __wait_for_fifo_occupancy_below_th if the loop is taking more time. Pacing will be continuing until the occupancy is below the threshold. This is ensured by the checks in bnxt_re_pacing_timer_exp and further scheduling the work for pacing based on the fifo occupancy.

[PATCH 5.10] serial: imx: Introduce timeout when waiting on transmitter empty

From: Esben Haabendal <esben(a)geanix.com> commit e533e4c62e9993e62e947ae9bbec34e4c7ae81c2 upstream. By waiting at most 1 second for USR2_TXDC to be set, we avoid a potential deadlock. In case of the timeout, there is not much we can do, so we simply ignore the transmitter state and optimistically try to continue.
