[PATCH RESEND] fsi/core: fix error handling in fsi_slave_init()

by Ma Ke

Once cdev_device_add() failed, we should use put_device() to decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak. Although operations in err_free_ida are similar to the operations in callback function fsi_slave_release(), put_device() is a correct handling operation as comments require when cdev_device_add() fails. 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] vhost/net: Replace wait_queue with completion in ubufs reference

by Nikolay Kuratov

When operating on struct vhost_net_ubuf_ref, the following execution sequence is theoretically possible: CPU0 is finalizing DMA operation CPU1 is doing VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND // &ubufs->refcount == 2 vhost_net_ubuf_put() vhost_net_ubuf_put_wait_and_free(oldubufs) vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait() vhost_net_ubuf_put() int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount); // r = 1 int r = atomic_sub_return(1, &ubufs->refcount); // r = 0 wait_event(ubufs->wait, !atomic_read(&ubufs->refcount)); // no wait occurs here because condition is already true kfree(ubufs); if (unlikely(!r)) wake_up(&ubufs->wait); // use-after-free This leads to use-after-free on ubufs access. This happens because CPU1 skips waiting for wake_up() when refcount is already zero. To prevent that use a completion instead of wait_queue as the ubufs notification mechanism. wait_for_completion() guarantees that there will be complete() call prior to its return. We also need to reinit completion because refcnt == 0 does not mean freeing in case of vhost_net_flush() - it then sets refcnt back to 1. AFAIK concurrent calls to vhost_net_ubuf_put_and_wait() with the same ubufs object aren't possible since those calls (through vhost_net_flush() or vhost_net_set_backend()) are protected by the device mutex. So reinit_completion() right after wait_for_completion() should be fine.

I suppose it was meant to be squashed into the previous commit e2d2115e56c4 "bpf: Do not include stack ptr register in precision backtracking bookkeeping"?

[PATCH] cifs: reset iface weights when we cannot find a candidate

by nspmangalore＠gmail.com

From: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad(a)microsoft.com> We now do a weighted selection of server interfaces when allocating new channels. The weights are decided based on the speed advertised. The fulfilled weight for an interface is a counter that is used to track the interface selection. It should be reset back to zero once all interfaces fulfilling their weight. In cifs_chan_update_iface, this reset logic was missing. As a result when the server interface list changes, the client may not be able to find a new candidate for other channels after all interfaces have been fulfilled.

To avoid false positives, folio_test_{anon,ksm}() should be called only if !page_has_type(&folio->page) || folio_test_hugetlb(folio). However, the check can be skipped if a folio is or will be mapped to userspace because typed pages that are not hugetlb folios cannot be mapped to userspace. As folio_expected_ref_count() already does the check, introduce a helper function folio_has_mapcount() and use it in folio_expected_ref_count() and stable_page_flags().

[ath10k][QCA9377] Firmware crashes on Dell Inspiron 5567 (IRQ #16, all modern distro kernels)

by Bandhan Pramanik

Hello, This is to inform all that constant firmware crashes have been seen in the "Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter", which was shipped with the Dell Inspiron 5567 laptops. This affects every kernel release, including the stable and the longterm ones. All the logs have been taken after livebooting an Arch Linux ISO. Every distro has been tried, and it has been confirmed that some error of this kind is shown in every distro. ## Steps to reproduce the issue 1. Boot/liveboot any Linux ISO through this card (and possibly, this laptop). 2. Wi-Fi network interface appears. 3. Connect the Wi-Fi router to the computer. 4. A few moments/minutes after that, the touchpad stops working, and the network interface cannot even access the Internet anymore (BUT, the network interface might disappear, might not disappear). ## Affected distros and the necessary workarounds This has been the pattern on every distro and their corresponding kernels (LMDE, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Zorin, Kubuntu, KDE Neon, elementaryOS, Fedora, and even Arch). The fix which made these distros usable is to add two things: - Adding "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" to a new conf file in /etc/modprobe.d. - Adding "pci=noaer" in GRUB kernel parameters so that the logs are not flooded with Multiple Correctable Errors. To defend my case (that it occurs in the other models of Inspiron 5567 too), I have recently contacted someone running Linux Mint on the same model. The answer was the same: the touchpad and the Wi-Fi stop simultaneously. ## Some of the limitations The kernel was tainted, but the other things have been properly noted in case they might provide some useful details. As stated, investigating why IRQ #16 is disabled will probably give us the answer. ## Logs provided All the logs in a combined manner can be found here: https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180 - Full dmesg: https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180#fi… - Hostnamectl: https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180#fi… - lspci: https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180#fi… - Modinfo of the driver: https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180#fi… - Ping command: https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180#fi… - /proc/interrupts: https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180#fi… - IP addr command (Heavily Redacted): https://gist.github.com/BandhanPramanik/ddb0cb23eca03ca2ea43a1d832a16180#fi… Lastly, this issue on the GitHub repository of Pop!_OS 'might' be relevant: https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/1470 It would be highly appreciated if the matter were looked into. Thanks, Bandhan Pramanik
