PROBLEM: hwclock busted w/ M48T59 RTC (regression)

by Nick Bowler

Hi, After a stable kernel update, the hwclock command seems no longer functional on my SPARC system with an ST M48T59Y-70PC1 RTC: # hwclock [...long delay...] hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out On prior kernels, there is no problem: # hwclock 2025-10-22 22:21:04.806992-04:00 I reproduced the same failure on 6.18-rc2 and bisected to this commit: commit 795cda8338eab036013314dbc0b04aae728880ab Author: Esben Haabendal <esben(a)geanix.com> Date: Fri May 16 09:23:35 2025 +0200 rtc: interface: Fix long-standing race when setting alarm This commit was backported to all current 6.x stable branches, as well as 5.15.x, so they all have the same regression. Reverting this commit on top of 6.18-rc2 corrects the problem. Let me know if you need any more info! Thanks, Nick

[PATCH v2] ocfs2: fix kernel BUG in ocfs2_write_block

by Prithvi Tambewagh

When the filesystem is being mounted, the kernel panics while the data regarding slot map allocation to the local node, is being written to the disk. This occurs because the value of slot map buffer head block number, which should have been greater than or equal to `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO` (evaluating to 2) is less than it, indicative of disk metadata corruption. This triggers BUG_ON(bh->b_blocknr < OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO) in ocfs2_write_block(), causing the kernel to panic. This is fixed by introducing an if condition block in ocfs2_update_disk_slot(), right before calling ocfs2_write_block(), which checks if `bh->b_blocknr` is lesser than `OCFS2_SUPER_BLOCK_BLKNO`; if yes, then ocfs2_error is called, which prints the error log, for debugging purposes, and the return value of ocfs2_error() is returned back to caller of ocfs2_update_disk_slot() i.e. ocfs2_find_slot(). If the return value is zero. then error code EIO is returned.

[PATCH RESEND] drm/kmb: Fix error handling in kmb_probe

by Ma Ke

kmb_probe() obtain a reference to a platform device by of_find_device_by_node(). This call increases the reference count of the returned device, which should be dropped by calling put_device() when the device is no longer needed. However, the code fails to call put_device() in several error handling paths and the normal device removal path. This could result in reference count leaks that prevent the proper cleanup of the platform device when the driver is unloaded or during error recovery. Add put_device() in all code paths where dsi_pdev is no longer needed, including error paths and the normal removal path. Found by code review.

[PATCH 0/4] drm: Revert and fix enable/disable sequence

by Tomi Valkeinen

Changing the enable/disable sequence in commit c9b1150a68d9 ("drm/atomic-helper: Re-order bridge chain pre-enable and post-disable") has caused regressions on multiple platforms: R-Car, MCDE, Rockchip. This is an alternate series to Linus' series: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251202-mcde-drm-regression-thirdfix-v6-0-f1bf… This series first reverts the original commit and reverts a fix for mediatek which is no longer needed. It then exposes helper functions from DRM core, and finally implements the new sequence only in the tidss driver. There is one more fix in upstream for the original commit, commit 5d91394f2361 ("drm/exynos: fimd: Guard display clock control with runtime PM calls"), but I have not reverted that one as it looks like a valid patch in its own. I added Cc stable v6.17+ to all patches, but I didn't add Fixes tags, as I wasn't sure what should they point to. But I could perhaps add Fixes: <original commit> to all of these.

[tip: x86/boot] x86/acpi/boot: Correct acpi_is_processor_usable() check again

by tip-bot2 for Yazen Ghannam

The following commit has been merged into the x86/boot branch of tip: Commit-ID: adbf61cc47cb72b102682e690ad323e1eda652c2 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/adbf61cc47cb72b102682e690ad323e1eda652c2 Author: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam(a)amd.com> AuthorDate: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 14:53:57 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo(a)kernel.org> CommitterDate: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 09:19:03 +01:00 x86/acpi/boot: Correct acpi_is_processor_usable() check again ACPI v6.3 defined a new "Online Capable" MADT LAPIC flag. This bit is used in conjunction with the "Enabled" MADT LAPIC flag to determine if a CPU can be enabled/hotplugged by the OS after boot. Before the new bit was defined, the "Enabled" bit was explicitly described like this (ACPI v6.0 wording provided): "If zero, this processor is unusable, and the operating system support will not attempt to use it" This means that CPU hotplug (based on MADT) is not possible. Many BIOS implementations follow this guidance. They may include LAPIC entries in MADT for unavailable CPUs, but since these entries are marked with "Enabled=0" it is expected that the OS will completely ignore these entries. However, QEMU will do the same (include entries with "Enabled=0") for the purpose of allowing CPU hotplug within the guest. Comment from QEMU function pc_madt_cpu_entry(): /* ACPI spec says that LAPIC entry for non present * CPU may be omitted from MADT or it must be marked * as disabled. However omitting non present CPU from * MADT breaks hotplug on linux. So possible CPUs * should be put in MADT but kept disabled. */ Recent Linux topology changes broke the QEMU use case. A following fix for the QEMU use case broke bare metal topology enumeration. Rework the Linux MADT LAPIC flags check to allow the QEMU use case only for guests and to maintain the ACPI spec behavior for bare metal. Remove an unnecessary check added to fix a bare metal case introduced by the QEMU "fix".

[PATCH] erspan: Initialize options_len before referencing options.

by Frode Nordahl

The struct ip_tunnel_info has a flexible array member named options that is protected by a counted_by(options_len) attribute. The compiler will use this information to enforce runtime bounds checking deployed by FORTIFY_SOURCE string helpers. As laid out in the GCC documentation, the counter must be initialized before the first reference to the flexible array member. In the normal case the ip_tunnel_info_opts_set() helper is used which would initialize options_len properly, however in the GRE ERSPAN code a partial update is done, preventing the use of the helper function. Before this change the handling of ERSPAN traffic in GRE tunnels would cause a kernel panic when the kernel is compiled with GCC 15+ and having FORTIFY_SOURCE configured: memcpy: detected buffer overflow: 4 byte write of buffer size 0 Call Trace: <IRQ> __fortify_panic+0xd/0xf erspan_rcv.cold+0x68/0x83 ? ip_route_input_slow+0x816/0x9d0 gre_rcv+0x1b2/0x1c0 gre_rcv+0x8e/0x100 ? raw_v4_input+0x2a0/0x2b0 ip_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x1ea/0x210 ip_local_deliver_finish+0x86/0x110 ip_local_deliver+0x65/0x110 ? ip_rcv_finish_core+0xd6/0x360 ip_rcv+0x186/0x1a0 Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html#index-co… Reported-at: https://launchpad.net/bugs/2129580 Fixes: bb5e62f2d547 ("net: Add options as a flexible array to struct ip_tunnel_info") Signed-off-by: Frode Nordahl <fnordahl(a)ubuntu.com> --- net/ipv4/ip_gre.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/ip_gre.c b/net/ipv4/ip_gre.c index 761a53c6a89a..285a656c9e41 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/ip_gre.c +++ b/net/ipv4/ip_gre.c @@ -330,6 +330,22 @@ static int erspan_rcv(struct sk_buff *skb, struct tnl_ptk_info *tpi, if (!tun_dst) return PACKET_REJECT; + /* The struct ip_tunnel_info has a flexible array member named + * options that is protected by a counted_by(options_len) + * attribute. + * + * The compiler will use this information to enforce runtime bounds + * checking deployed by FORTIFY_SOURCE string helpers. + * + * As laid out in the GCC documentation, the counter must be + * initialized before the first reference to the flexible array + * member. + * + * Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html#index-co… + */ + info = &tun_dst->u.tun_info; + info->options_len = sizeof(*md); + /* skb can be uncloned in __iptunnel_pull_header, so * old pkt_md is no longer valid and we need to reset * it @@ -344,10 +360,8 @@ static int erspan_rcv(struct sk_buff *skb, struct tnl_ptk_info *tpi, memcpy(md2, pkt_md, ver == 1 ?

[PATCH] input: synaptics_i2c - cancel delayed work before freeing device

by Minseong Kim

synaptics_i2c_irq() schedules touch->dwork via mod_delayed_work(). The delayed work performs I2C transactions and may still be running (or get queued) when the device is removed. synaptics_i2c_remove() currently frees 'touch' without canceling touch->dwork. If removal happens while the work is pending/running, the work handler may dereference freed memory, leading to a potential use-after-free. Cancel the delayed work synchronously before unregistering/freeing the device.
