The error return from bio_split() is not checked before
being passed to bio_chain(), leading to a kernel panic
from an invalid pointer dereference.
Add a check with IS_ERR() to handle the allocation failure
and prevent the crash.
This patch fixes a bug in the pktcdvd driver, which was removed
from the mainline kernel but still exists in stable branches.

2.25.1
This issue was found by Runcheng Lu when develop HSCanT USB to CAN FD
converter[1]. The original developers may have only 3 intefaces device to
test so they write 3 here and wait for future change.
During the HSCanT development, we actually used 4 interfaces, so the
limitation of 3 is not enough now. But just increase one is not
future-proofed. Since the channel type in gs_host_frame is u8, just
increase interface number limit to max size of u8 safely.

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang(a)linux.dev>
When splitting an mTHP and replacing a zero-filled subpage with the shared
zeropage, try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage() currently drops several important
PTE bits.
For userspace tools like CRIU, which rely on the soft-dirty mechanism for
incremental snapshots, losing the soft-dirty bit means modified pages are
missed, leading to inconsistent memory state after restore.
As pointed out by David, the more critical uffd-wp bit is also dropped.
This breaks the userfaultfd write-protection mechanism, causing writes
to be silently missed by monitoring applications, which can lead to data
corruption.
Preserve both the soft-dirty and uffd-wp bits from the old PTE when
creating the new zeropage mapping to ensure they are correctly tracked.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Based on my comprehensive investigation, here is my analysis:
## Backport Decision: **YES**
### Detailed Analysis
#### Bug Description
This commit fixes a **critical double-unlock bug** in the netfs (Network
Filesystem Library) buffered write path. The bug was introduced in
commit 8f52de0077ba3b (v6.12-rc1) during a performance optimization
refactoring.
**The specific bug**: In the `flush_content` error path at
fs/netfs/buffered_write.c:346, the code unlocks and releases a folio,
then on line 350, if `filemap_write_and_wait_range()` fails, it jumps to
`error_folio_unlock` which attempts to unlock the **already unlocked**
folio again (line 407).
```c
flush_content:
folio_unlock(folio); // First unlock - line 346
folio_put(folio);
ret = filemap_write_and_wait_range(...);
if (ret < 0)
goto error_folio_unlock; // BUG: jumps to unlock again!
```
**The fix**: Changes line 350 from `goto error_folio_unlock` to `goto
out`, correctly bypassing the duplicate unlock.
#### Severity Assessment: **HIGH**
1. **Impact**:
- With `CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y`: Immediate kernel panic via
`VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO()` at mm/filemap.c:1498
- With `CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n`: Silent memory corruption, undefined
behavior, potential use-after-free
- Affects **all network filesystems**: 9p, AFS, Ceph, NFS, SMB/CIFS
2. **Syzbot Evidence**:
- Bug ID: syzbot+b73c7d94a151e2ee1e9b(a)syzkaller.appspotmail.com
- Title: "kernel BUG in netfs_perform_write"
- **17 crash instances** recorded
- Reproducers available (both C and syz formats)
- Affected multiple kernel versions (5.4, 5.10, 5.15, 6.1, 6.12)
3. **Triggering Conditions** (Moderate likelihood):
- Network filesystem write operation
- Incompatible write scenario (netfs_group mismatch or streaming
write conflict)
- I/O error from `filemap_write_and_wait_range()` (network failure,
memory pressure, etc.)
#### Backport Criteria Evaluation
✅ **Fixes important bug affecting users**: Yes - causes kernel panics
and potential memory corruption for all network filesystem users
✅ **Small and contained fix**: Yes - **single line change**, minimal
code modification
✅ **No architectural changes**: Yes - simple error path correction
✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Yes - obviously correct fix, well-
reviewed (Acked-by David Howells, Reviewed-by Paulo Alcantara)
✅ **Confined to subsystem**: Yes - only touches netfs buffered write
error path
✅ **Well-tested**: Yes - syzbot has reproducers, 17 crash instances
documented
#### Affected Stable Trees
**Bug introduced**: v6.12-rc1 (commit 8f52de0077ba3b)
**Bug fixed**: v6.17 (commit 66d938e89e940)
**Vulnerable stable kernels**: 6.12.x, 6.13.x, 6.14.x, 6.15.x, 6.16.x
#### Missing Metadata (Should be added)
The commit is **missing critical stable backport tags**:
- No `Fixes: 8f52de0077ba3b ("netfs: Reduce number of conditional
branches in netfs_perform_write()")`
- No `Cc: stable(a)vger.kernel.org`
This appears to be an oversight, as the fix clearly qualifies for stable
backporting.
### Conclusion
**Strong YES for backporting**. This is a textbook stable tree
candidate:
- Fixes a serious kernel panic/memory corruption bug
- One-line change with zero regression risk
- Affects production users of network filesystems
- Well-tested with reproducers
- Reviewed and acked by subsystem maintainers
The fix should be backported to **all stable kernels containing commit
8f52de0077ba3b** (6.12+).
