Based on my analysis of the commit and the codebase context, here's my
assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel
trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Code Analysis The commit adds
proper error checking for `dma_set_mask_and_coherent()` in the macb
network driver. Looking at the specific changes: **Before the fix:**
```c if (GEM_BFEXT(DAW64, gem_readl(bp, DCFG6))) {
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(44)); bp->hw_dma_cap
|= HW_DMA_CAP_64B; } ``` **After the fix:** ```c if (GEM_BFEXT(DAW64,
gem_readl(bp, DCFG6))) { err = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev,
DMA_BIT_MASK(44)); if (err) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to set DMA
mask\n"); goto err_out_free_netdev; } bp->hw_dma_cap |= HW_DMA_CAP_64B;
} ``` ## Why this should be backported: 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: The
original code ignores the return value of `dma_set_mask_and_coherent()`.
If this function fails (which can happen on systems with restricted DMA
capabilities), the driver would continue execution assuming 44-bit DMA
addressing is available when it's not, leading to potential memory
corruption or system crashes. 2. **Small, Contained Fix**: This is a
minimal change that only adds proper error checking without changing any
core logic or introducing new features. It follows the stable tree
principle of being a small, targeted bugfix. 3. **Follows Established
Patterns**: Looking at the similar commits provided, this matches
exactly the pattern of commits marked "YES" for backporting (commits #1,
#2, and #5) which all add proper error checking for DMA mask functions.
4. **Critical Network Driver**: The macb driver is used in production
systems, and DMA-related bugs can cause data corruption or system
instability, making this a high-priority fix for stable trees. 5.
**Proper Error Handling Path**: The fix correctly uses the existing
`err_out_free_netdev` label, which properly cleans up allocated
resources (line 5373-5383 in macb_main.c), preventing resource leaks
when DMA setup fails. 6. **Static Analysis Tool Flagged**: The commit
message mentions this was flagged by Coverity, indicating it's a
legitimate code quality issue that could manifest as a runtime bug. 7.
**Matches Stable Tree Criteria**: - Important bugfix ✓ - Minimal risk of
regression ✓ - No architectural changes ✓ - Confined to one
driver/subsystem ✓ - Clear side effects (proper cleanup on failure) ✓
This commit addresses the same class of vulnerability as the other "YES"
examples: ignoring return values of critical DMA functions that can fail
and lead to undefined behavior. The fix is surgical, safe, and addresses
a genuine runtime issue in a widely-used network driver.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: ti: k3-am62-main: Set eMMC clock parent to
default
Set eMMC clock parents to the defaults which is MAIN_PLL0_HSDIV5_CLKOUT
for eMMC. This change is necessary since DM is not implementing the
correct procedure to switch PLL clock source for eMMC and MMC CLK mux is
not glich-free. As a preventative action, lets switch back to the defaults.

The above issue may happen as follows:
(1) Add kprobe tracepoint;
(2) insmod test.ko;
(3) Module triggers ftrace disabled;
(4) rmmod test.ko;
(5) cat /proc/kallsyms; --> Will trigger UAF as test.ko already removed;
ftrace_mod_get_kallsym()
...
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
...
The problem is when a module triggers an issue with ftrace and
sets ftrace_disable. The ftrace_disable is set when an anomaly is
discovered and to prevent any more damage, ftrace stops all text
modification. The issue that happened was that the ftrace_disable stops
more than just the text modification.
When a module is loaded, its init functions can also be traced. Because
kallsyms deletes the init functions after a module has loaded, ftrace
saves them when the module is loaded and function tracing is enabled. This
allows the output of the function trace to show the init function names
instead of just their raw memory addresses.
When a module is removed, ftrace_release_mod() is called, and if
ftrace_disable is set, it just returns without doing anything more. The
problem here is that it leaves the mod_list still around and if kallsyms
is called, it will call into this code and access the module memory that
has already been freed as it will return:
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
Where the "mod" no longer exists and triggers a UAF bug.
