[PATCH v2 RESEND] phy: Fix error handling in tegra_xusb_port_init

by Ma Ke

If device_add() fails, do not use device_unregister() for error handling. device_unregister() consists two functions: device_del() and put_device(). device_unregister() should only be called after device_add() succeeded because device_del() undoes what device_add() does if successful. Change device_unregister() to put_device() call before returning from the function. As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'. Found by code review.

[PATCH] dlm: fix lkb timeout scanning lookup

by Alexander Aring

If a lkb is timed out when dlm_scan_timeout() kicks in and removes a timed out lkb from ls->ls_timeout list the next iteration can end in timeout the same lkb again that shouldn't happen. Since commit dc1acd5c9469 ("dlm: replace usage of found with dedicated list iterator variable") we don't set the lkb variable before the inner lookup loop to NULL. The outer loop will not stop and checks if there was a successful lookup with the lkb pointer of the last iteration that wasn't set to NULL. To stop this behavior we use the old condition "!do_cancel && !do_warn" which signals if there was a successful lookup and the lkb variable should be set with the lkb that was looked up to be timed out. If the condition is false there is no timed out lkb in ls->ls_timeout and the outer loop stops.

Remove the device comparison check in context_setup_pass_through_cb. pci_for_each_dma_alias already makes a decision on whether the callback function should be called for a device.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 01/28] bpf: unify VM_WRITE vs VM_MAYWRITE use in BPF map mmaping logic

by Sasha Levin

From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii(a)kernel.org> [ Upstream commit 98671a0fd1f14e4a518ee06b19037c20014900eb ] For all BPF maps we ensure that VM_MAYWRITE is cleared when memory-mapping BPF map contents as initially read-only VMA. This is because in some cases BPF verifier relies on the underlying data to not be modified afterwards by user space, so once something is mapped read-only, it shouldn't be re-mmap'ed as read-write. As such, it's not necessary to check VM_MAYWRITE in bpf_map_mmap() and map->ops->map_mmap() callbacks: VM_WRITE should be consistently set for read-write mappings, and if VM_WRITE is not set, there is no way for user space to upgrade read-only mapping to read-write one. This patch cleans up this VM_WRITE vs VM_MAYWRITE handling within bpf_map_mmap(), which is an entry point for any BPF map mmap()-ing logic. We also drop unnecessary sanitization of VM_MAYWRITE in BPF ringbuf's map_mmap() callback implementation, as it is already performed by common code in bpf_map_mmap(). Note, though, that in bpf_map_mmap_{open,close}() callbacks we can't drop VM_MAYWRITE use, because it's possible (and is outside of subsystem's control) to have initially read-write memory mapping, which is subsequently dropped to read-only by user space through mprotect(). In such case, from BPF verifier POV it's read-write data throughout the lifetime of BPF map, and is counted as "active writer". But its VMAs will start out as VM_WRITE|VM_MAYWRITE, then mprotect() can change it to just VM_MAYWRITE (and no VM_WRITE), so when its finally munmap()'ed and bpf_map_mmap_close() is called, vm_flags will be just VM_MAYWRITE, but we still need to decrement active writer count with bpf_map_write_active_dec() as it's still considered to be a read-write mapping by the rest of BPF subsystem. Similar reasoning applies to bpf_map_mmap_open(), which is called whenever mmap(), munmap(), and/or mprotect() forces mm subsystem to split original VMA into multiple discontiguous VMAs. Memory-mapping handling is a bit tricky, yes.

[PATCH] mtd: Fix potential UAF for mtdswap_dev pointers

by Ma Ke

In the mtdswap_init(), if the allocations fail, the error handling path frees d->page_buf, d->eb_data, d->revmap and d->page_data without setting these pointers to NULL. This could lead to UAF if subsequent error handling or device reset operations attempt to release these pointers again. Set d->page_buf, d->eb_data, d->revmap and d->page_data to NULL immediately after freeing them to prevent misuse. Release immediately and set to NULL, adhering to the 'release implies invalid' defensive programming principle. Found by code review.
