The issue is that it is called from hrtimer_start_range_ns holding the per_cpu(hrtimer_bases)[n].lock, but when enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS, may wake up kswapd in set_track_prepare, and try to hold the per_cpu(hrtimer_bases)[n].lock. Avoid deadlock caused by implicitly waking up kswapd by passing in allocation flags, which do not contain __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM in the debug_objects_fill_pool() case. Inside stack depot they are processed by gfp_nested_mask(). Since ___slab_alloc() has preemption disabled, we mask out __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM from the flags there.

[PATCH v2] ARM: dts: socfpga: sodia: Fix mdio bus probe and PHY address

by Nobuhiro Iwamatsu

On SoCFPGA/Sodia board, mdio bus cannot be probed, so the PHY cannot be found and the network device does not work. ``` stmmaceth ff702000.ethernet eth0: __stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19) ``` To probe the mdio bus, add "snps,dwmac-mdio" as compatible string of the mdio bus. Also the PHY address connected to this board is 4. Therefore, change to 4.

Hi Greg, Sasha, Please consider applying the following commit for 6.12.y and later: 8851e27d2cb9 ("rust: support Rust >= 1.91.0 target spec") It should apply cleanly. It is not urgent, but will be needed in some weeks to support the upcoming Rust compiler versions. Thanks! Cheers, Miguel

[PATCH v1 0/1] mmc: core: apply SD quirks earlier during probe on 5.15 stable kernel

by Emanuele Ghidoli

From: Emanuele Ghidoli <emanuele.ghidoli(a)toradex.com> Hello, I noticed that commit 1728e17762b9 ("mmc: core: sd: Apply BROKEN_SD_DISCARD quirk earlier") introduces a regression because since it depends on the backport of commit 5c4f3e1f0a2a ("mmc: core: apply SD quirks earlier during probe"). Without this patch the quirk is not applied at all. I backported the latter commit to 5.15 stable kernel to fix the regression.

[PATCH 6.12.y 00/15] Backport few CVE fixes to 6.12.y

by Harshit Mogalapalli

Hi stable maintainers, I have tried backporting some fixes to stable kernel 6.12.y which also have CVE numbers and are fixing commits in 6.12.y. I am not a subsystem expert and have only done overall testing that we do for stable release candidate testing and not any patch specific testing. Note: All these patches are present backports from upstream. Patch 1: Fixes a race, by reading the code, I can confirm 6.12.y needs this backport -- Few conflicts resolved. This is fix for CVE-2025-38306 Patch 2,3,4,5 -- So this set corresponds to fixing CVE-2025-38272, commit: 1237c2d4a8db ("net: dsa: b53: do not enable EEE on bcm63xx"). While we can comeup with downstream fix byt writing a new function, I think backporting some prerequisites would help us backporting future fixes smoothly to 6.12.y. Patch 2,3,4 are pulled in as prerequisites. Patch3 has minor conflict resolution due to other missing patches. And Patch 5 is again a clean cherry-pick. Patch 6,7,8: Patch 6 corresponds to the CVE-2025-22125 fix, Patch 7 is a fix for Patch6 and and Patch 8 fixes Patch 7. patch 6 had minor conflict resolution due to missing atomic writes feature in 6.12.y and Patches 7 and 8 are clean cherrypicks. Patch 9, 10: Patch 10 is a fix for CVE-2025-22113 and patch 9 is pulled in as a prerequisite. Both are clean cherry-picks. Patch 11: Had conflict resolution in the header file, this is fix for CVE-2025-38453 Patch 12, 13 : Patch 12 is a clean cherrypick and a fix for CVE-2025-23133. This wan't backported earlier or probably dropped as it showed up a regression which is fixed by Patch 13. [1], so we should be fine. Patch 14: CVE-2025-22103 fix, clean cherry-pick Patch 15: CVE-2025-22124 fix and a clean cherry-pick. Please let me know if there are any comments.

The legacy users of exportfs_encode_fh(), namely, nfsd and name_to_handle_at(2) syscall are ready to cope with the possibility of failure to encode a file handle. There are a few other users of exportfs_encode_{fh,fid}() that currently have a WARN_ON() assertion when ->encode_fh() fails. Relax those assertions because they are wrong. The second linked bug report states commit 16aac5ad1fa9 ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles") in v6.6 as the regressing commit, but this is not accurate. The aforementioned commit only increases the chances of the assertion and allows triggering the assertion with the reproducer using overlayfs, inotify and drop_caches. Triggering this assertion was always possible with other filesystems and other reasons of ->encode_fh() failures and more particularly, it was also possible with the exact same reproducer using overlayfs that is mounted with options index=on,nfs_export=on also on kernels < v6.6. Therefore, I am not listing the aforementioned commit as a Fixes commit. Backport hint: this patch will have a trivial conflict applying to v6.6.y, and other trivial conflicts applying to stable kernels < v6.6.
