switching VT with ctrl-alt-f2 the screen is blank or completely filled
with angle characters, then new text is not appearing (or not visible).

fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_putcs*
commit 18c4ef4e765a798b47980555ed665d78b71aeadf upstream.
bit_putcs_aligned()/unaligned() derived the glyph pointer from the
character value masked by 0xff/0x1ff, which may exceed the actual font's
glyph count and read past the end of the built-in font array.
Clamp the index to the actual glyph count before computing the address.
This fixes a global out-of-bounds read reported by syzbot.

xorg tries to use 24 and 32 bpp which pass on the fb API but which
don't actually work on AMD KV260 when Xorg starts. As a workaround
Xorg config can set color depth to 16 using /etc/X11/xorg.conf snippet:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 16
EndSection
But this is cumbersome on images meant for multiple different arm64
devices and boards. So instead set 16 bpp as preferred depth
in zynqmp_kms fb driver which is used by Xorg in the logic to find
out a working depth.
Now Xorg startup and bpp query using fb API works and HDMI display
shows graphics. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows:

Use RG16 buffer format for fbdev emulation. Fbdev backend is being used
by Mali 400 userspace driver which expects 16 bit RGB pixel color format.
This change should not affect console or other fbdev applications as we
still have plenty of colors left.

If `locked_pages` is zero, the page array must not be allocated:
ceph_process_folio_batch() uses `locked_pages` to decide when to
allocate `pages`, and redundant allocations trigger
ceph_allocate_page_array()'s BUG_ON(), resulting in a worker oops (and
writeback stall) or even a kernel panic. Consequently, the main loop in
ceph_writepages_start() assumes that the lifetime of `pages` is confined
to a single iteration.
The ceph_submit_write() function claims ownership of the page array on
success. But failures only redirty/unlock the pages and fail to free the
array, making the failure case in ceph_submit_write() fatal.
Free the page array in ceph_submit_write()'s error-handling 'if' block
so that the caller's invariant (that the array does not outlive the
iteration) is maintained unconditionally, allowing failures in
ceph_submit_write() to be recoverable as originally intended.

To make sure LED enter off state after file handle is closed, initiatively
configure LED_MODE to NONE. This can guarantee whatever the previous state
is torch or strobe mode, the final state will be off.

Hi,
We encounter an issue. When the upper layer camera process is crashed,
if the new process did not reinit the LED, it will keeps the previous
state whatever it's in torch or strobe mode
OS will handle the resource management. So when the process is crashed
or terminated, the 'close' API will be called to release resources.
That's why we add the initiative action to trigger LED off in file
handle close is called.

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued
------------------------------------------------------
From: Boudewijn van der Heide <boudewijn(a)delta-utec.com>
Subject: maple_tree: add dead node check in mas_dup_alloc()
Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2026 17:57:58 +0100
__mt_dup() is exported and can be called without internal locking, relying
on the caller to provide appropriate synchronization. If a caller fails
to hold proper locks, the source tree may be modified concurrently,
potentially resulting in dead nodes during traversal.
The call stack is:
__mt_dup()
��� mas_dup_build()
��� mas_dup_alloc() [accesses node->slot[]]
mas_dup_alloc() may access node slots without first verifying that the
node is still alive. If a dead node is encountered, its memory layout may
have been switched to the RCU union member, making slot array access
undefined behavior as we would be reading from the rcu_head structure
instead.
If __mt_dup() is invoked without the required external locking and the
source tree is concurrently modified, a node can transition to the dead
RCU layout while mas_dup_alloc() is still traversing it. In that case the
code may interpret the rcu_head contents as slot pointers.
Practically, this could lead to invalid pointer dereferences (kernel oops)
or corruption of the duplicated tree. Depending on how that duplicated
tree is later used (e.g. in mm/VMA paths), the effects could be
userspace-visible, such as fork() failures, process crashes, or broader
system instability.
My understanding is that current in-tree users hold the appropriate locks
and should not hit this, as triggering it requires violating the
__mt_dup() synchronization contract. The risk primarily comes from the
fact that __mt_dup() is exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL), making it reachable by
out-of-tree modules or future callers which may not follow the locking
rules.
Add an explicit dead node check to detect concurrent modification during
duplication. When a dead node is detected, return -EBUSY to indicate that
the tree is undergoing concurrent modification.
