[PATCH v3] staging: gpib: Fix device reference leak in fmh_gpib driver

by Ma Ke

The fmh_gpib driver contains a device reference count leak in fmh_gpib_attach_impl() where driver_find_device() increases the reference count of the device by get_device() when matching but this reference is not properly decreased. Add put_device() in fmh_gpib_detach(), which ensures that the reference count of the device is correctly managed. Found by code review.

[PATCH v3] ASoC: wcd934x: fix error handling in wcd934x_codec_parse_data()

by Ma Ke

wcd934x_codec_parse_data() contains a device reference count leak in of_slim_get_device() where device_find_child() increases the reference count of the device but this reference is not properly decreased in the success path. Add put_device() in wcd934x_codec_parse_data() and add devm_add_action_or_reset() in the probe function, which ensures that the reference count of the device is correctly managed. Memory leak in regmap_init_slimbus() as the allocated regmap is not released when the device is removed. Using devm_regmap_init_slimbus() instead of regmap_init_slimbus() to ensure automatic regmap cleanup on device removal. Calling path: of_slim_get_device() -> of_find_slim_device() -> device_find_child(). As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop the reference with put_device() after use.'. Found by code review.

The quilt patch titled Subject: kernel/sys.c: fix the racy usage of task_lock(tsk->group_leader) in sys_prlimit64() paths has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fix-the-racy-usage-of-task_locktsk-group_leader-in-sys_prlimit64-paths.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg(a)redhat.com> Subject: kernel/sys.c: fix the racy usage of task_lock(tsk->group_leader) in sys_prlimit64() paths Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 14:09:17 +0200 The usage of task_lock(tsk->group_leader) in sys_prlimit64()->do_prlimit() path is very broken. sys_prlimit64() does get_task_struct(tsk) but this only protects task_struct itself. If tsk != current and tsk is not a leader, this process can exit/exec and task_lock(tsk->group_leader) may use the already freed task_struct. Another problem is that sys_prlimit64() can race with mt-exec which changes ->group_leader. In this case do_prlimit() may take the wrong lock, or (worse) ->group_leader may change between task_lock() and task_unlock(). Change sys_prlimit64() to take tasklist_lock when necessary. This is not nice, but I don't see a better fix for -stable.

+ mm-thp-fix-mte-tag-mismatch-when-replacing-zero-filled-subpages.patch added to mm-hotfixes-unstable branch

The patch titled Subject: mm/thp: fix MTE tag mismatch when replacing zero-filled subpages has been added to the -mm mm-hotfixes-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-thp-fix-mte-tag-mismatch-when-replacing-zero-filled-subpages.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patche… This patch will later appear in the mm-hotfixes-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Lance Yang <lance.yang(a)linux.dev> Subject: mm/thp: fix MTE tag mismatch when replacing zero-filled subpages Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 10:14:58 +0800 When both THP and MTE are enabled, splitting a THP and replacing its zero-filled subpages with the shared zeropage can cause MTE tag mismatch faults in userspace. Remapping zero-filled subpages to the shared zeropage is unsafe, as the zeropage has a fixed tag of zero, which may not match the tag expected by the userspace pointer. KSM already avoids this problem by using memcmp_pages(), which on arm64 intentionally reports MTE-tagged pages as non-identical to prevent unsafe merging. As suggested by David[1], this patch adopts the same pattern, replacing the memchr_inv() byte-level check with a call to pages_identical(). This leverages existing architecture-specific logic to determine if a page is truly identical to the shared zeropage. Having both the THP shrinker and KSM rely on pages_identical() makes the design more future-proof, IMO. Instead of handling quirks in generic code, we just let the architecture decide what makes two pages identical.
