dm cache metadata: fix memory leak on metadata abort retry
When failing to acquire the root_lock in dm_cache_metadata_abort because
the block_manager is read-only, the temporary block_manager created
outside the root_lock is not properly released, causing a memory leak.
Reproduce steps:
This can be reproduced by reloading a new table while the metadata
is read-only. While the second call to dm_cache_metadata_abort is
caused by lack of support for table preload in dm-cache, mentioned
in commit 9b1cc9f251af ("dm cache: share cache-metadata object across
inactive and active DM tables"), it exposes the memory leak in
dm_cache_metadata_abort when the function is called multiple times.
Specifically, dm-cache fails to sync the new cache object's mode during
preresume, creating the reproducer condition.
This issue could also occur through concurrent metadata_operation_failed
calls due to races in cache mode updates, but the table preload scenario
below provides a reliable reproducer.
1. Create a cache device with some faulty trailing metadata blocks
dmsetup create cmeta <<EOF
0 200 linear /dev/sdc 0
200 7992 error
EOF
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 262144 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 131072 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 1 writethrough smq 0"
2. Suspend and resume the cache to start a new metadata transaction and
trigger metadata io errors on the next metadata commit.
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup resume cache
3. Write to the cache device to update metadata
fio --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --name test --rw=randwrite --bs=4k \
--randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --size 64k
4. Preload the same table
dmsetup reload cache --table "$(dmsetup table cache)"
5. Resume the new table. This triggers the memory leak.
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup resume cache

dm log: fix out-of-bounds write due to region_count overflow
The local variable region_count in create_log_context() is declared as
unsigned int (32-bit), but dm_sector_div_up() returns sector_t (64-bit).
When a device-mapper target has a sufficiently large ti->len with a small
region_size, the division result can exceed UINT_MAX. The truncated
value is then used to calculate bitset_size, causing clean_bits,
sync_bits, and recovering_bits to be allocated far smaller than needed
for the actual number of regions.
Subsequent log operations (log_set_bit, log_clear_bit, log_test_bit) use
region indices derived from the full untruncated region space, causing
out-of-bounds writes to kernel heap memory allocated by vmalloc.
This can be reproduced by creating a mirror target whose region_count
overflows 32 bits:
dmsetup create bigzero --table '0 8589934594 zero'
dmsetup create mymirror --table '0 8589934594 mirror \
core 2 2 nosync 2 /dev/mapper/bigzero 0 \
/dev/mapper/bigzero 0'
The status output confirms the truncation (sync_count=1 instead of
4294967297, because 0x100000001 was truncated to 1):
$ dmsetup status mymirror
0 8589934594 mirror 2 254:1 254:1 1/4294967297 ...
This leads to a kernel crash in core_in_sync:

Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
Fix by widening the local region_count to sector_t and adding an
explicit overflow check before the value is assigned to lc->region_count. |

PCI: tegra194: Fix CBB timeout caused by DBI access before core power-on
When PERST# is deasserted twice (assert -> deassert -> assert -> deassert),
a CBB (Control Backbone) timeout occurs at DBI register offset 0x8bc
(PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF). This happens because pci_epc_deinit_notify()
and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() are called before reset_control_deassert() powers
on the controller core.
The call chain that causes the timeout:
pex_ep_event_pex_rst_deassert()
pci_epc_deinit_notify()
pci_epf_test_epc_deinit()
pci_epf_test_clear_bar()
pci_epc_clear_bar()
dw_pcie_ep_clear_bar()
__dw_pcie_ep_reset_bar()
dw_pcie_dbi_ro_wr_en() <- Accesses 0x8bc DBI register
reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst) <- Core powered on HERE
The DBI registers, including PCIE_MISC_CONTROL_1_OFF (0x8bc), are only
accessible after the controller core is powered on via
reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst). Accessing them before this point
results in a CBB timeout because the hardware is not yet operational.
Fix this by moving pci_epc_deinit_notify() and dw_pcie_ep_cleanup() to
after reset_control_deassert(pcie->core_rst), ensuring the controller is
fully powered on before any DBI register accesses occur. |

gfs2: prevent NULL pointer dereference during unmount
When flushing out outstanding glock work during an unmount, gfs2_log_flush()
can be called when sdp->sd_jdesc has already been deallocated and sdp->sd_jdesc
is NULL. Commit 35264909e9d1 ("gfs2: Fix NULL pointer dereference in
gfs2_log_flush") added a check for that to gfs2_log_flush() itself, but it
missed the sdp->sd_jdesc dereference in gfs2_log_release(). Fix that. |

efi/capsule-loader: fix incorrect sizeof in phys array reallocation
The krealloc() call for cap_info->phys in __efi_capsule_setup_info() uses
sizeof(phys_addr_t *) instead of sizeof(phys_addr_t), which might be
causing an undersized allocation.
The allocation is also inconsistent with the initial array allocation in
efi_capsule_open() that allocates one entry with sizeof(phys_addr_t),
and the efi_capsule_write() function that stores phys_addr_t values (not
pointers) via page_to_phys().
On 64-bit systems where sizeof(phys_addr_t) == sizeof(phys_addr_t *), this
goes unnoticed. On 32-bit systems with PAE where phys_addr_t is 64-bit but
pointers are 32-bit, this allocates half the required space, which might
lead to a heap buffer overflow when storing physical addresses.
This is similar to the bug fixed in commit fccfa646ef36 ("efi/capsule-loader:
fix incorrect allocation size") which fixed the same issue at the initial
allocation site. |

HID: usbhid: fix deadlock in hid_post_reset()
You can build a USB device that includes a HID component
and a storage or UAS component. The components can be reset
only together. That means that hid_pre_reset() and hid_post_reset()
are in the block IO error handling. Hence no memory allocation
used in them may do block IO because the IO can deadlock
on the mutex held while resetting a device and calling the
interface drivers.
Use GFP_NOIO for all allocations in them. |

bpf, sockmap: Fix af_unix null-ptr-deref in proto update
unix_stream_connect() sets sk_state (`WRITE_ONCE(sk->sk_state,
TCP_ESTABLISHED)`) _before_ it assigns a peer (`unix_peer(sk) = newsk`).
sk_state == TCP_ESTABLISHED makes sock_map_sk_state_allowed() believe that
socket is properly set up, which would include having a defined peer. IOW,
there's a window when unix_stream_bpf_update_proto() can be called on
socket which still has unix_peer(sk) == NULL.

Initial idea was to move peer assignment _before_ the sk_state update[1],
but that involved an additional memory barrier, and changing the hot path
was rejected.
Then a NULL check during proto update in unix_stream_bpf_update_proto() was
considered[2], but the follow-up discussion[3] focused on the root cause,
i.e. sockmap update taking a wrong lock. Or, more specifically, missing
unix_state_lock()[4].
In the end it was concluded that teaching sockmap about the af_unix locking
would be unnecessarily complex[5].
Complexity aside, since BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS and BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_ACT
are allowed to update sockmaps, sock_map_update_elem() taking the unix
lock, as it is currently implemented in unix_state_lock():
spin_lock(&unix_sk(s)->lock), would be problematic. unix_state_lock() taken
in a process context, followed by a softirq-context TC BPF program
attempting to take the same spinlock -- deadlock[6].
This way we circled back to the peer check idea[2].

Summary of scenarios where af_unix/stream connect() may race a sockmap
update:
1. connect() vs. bpf(BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM), i.e. sock_map_update_elem_sys()
Implemented NULL check is sufficient. Once assigned, socket peer won't
be released until socket fd is released. And that's not an issue because
sock_map_update_elem_sys() bumps fd refcnf.

net/sched: act_mirred: fix wrong device for mac_header_xmit check in tcf_blockcast_redir
In tcf_blockcast_redir(), when iterating block ports to redirect
packets to multiple devices, the mac_header_xmit flag is queried
from the wrong device. The loop sends to dev_prev but queries
dev_is_mac_header_xmit(dev) — which is the NEXT device in the
iteration, not the one being sent to.
This causes tcf_mirred_to_dev() to make incorrect decisions about
whether to push or pull the MAC header. When the block contains
mixed device types (e.g., an ethernet veth and a tunnel device),
intermediate devices get the wrong mac_header_xmit flag, leading to
skb header corruption. In the worst case, skb_push_rcsum with an
incorrect mac_len can exhaust headroom and panic.
The last device in the loop is handled correctly (line 365-366 uses
dev_is_mac_header_xmit(dev_prev)), confirming this is a copy-paste
oversight for the intermediate devices.
Fix by using dev_prev instead of dev for the mac_header_xmit query,
consistent with the device actually being sent to. |

macvlan: fix macvlan_get_size() not reserving space for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF
macvlan_get_size() does not account for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF, but
macvlan_fill_info() conditionally includes it when port->bc_cutoff != 1.
This causes nla_put_s32() to fail with -EMSGSIZE when the netlink skb
runs out of space, triggering a WARN_ON in rtnetlink and preventing the
interface from being dumped.
The bug can be reproduced with:
ip link add macvlan0 link eth0 type macvlan mode bridge
ip link set macvlan0 type macvlan bc_cutoff 0
ip -d link show macvlan0 # fails with -EMSGSIZE
The bc_cutoff feature was added in commit 954d1fa1ac93 ("macvlan: Add
netlink attribute for broadcast cutoff"), which added the nla_put_s32()
call in macvlan_fill_info() but missed adding the corresponding
nla_total_size(4) in macvlan_get_size(). A follow-up commit
55cef78c244d ("macvlan: add forgotten nla_policy for
IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF") fixed the missing nla_policy entry but still
did not fix the size calculation. |

nexthop: fix IPv6 route referencing IPv4 nexthop
syzbot reported a panic [1] [2].
When an IPv6 nexthop is replaced with an IPv4 nexthop, the has_v4 flag
of all groups containing this nexthop is not updated. This is because
nh_group_v4_update is only called when replacing AF_INET to AF_INET6,
but the reverse direction (AF_INET6 to AF_INET) is missed.
This allows a stale has_v4=false to bypass fib6_check_nexthop, causing
IPv6 routes to be attached to groups that effectively contain only AF_INET
members. Subsequent route lookups then call nexthop_fib6_nh() which
returns NULL for the AF_INET member, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference.
Fix by calling nh_group_v4_update whenever the family changes, not just
AF_INET to AF_INET6.
Reproducer:
# AF_INET6 blackhole
ip -6 nexthop add id 1 blackhole
# group with has_v4=false
ip nexthop add id 100 group 1
# replace with AF_INET (no -6), has_v4 stays false
ip nexthop replace id 1 blackhole
# pass stale has_v4 check

ice: fix race condition in TX timestamp ring cleanup
Fix a race condition between ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() and ice_tx_map()
that can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring currently clears the ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME flag
after NULLing the tstamp_ring. This could allow a concurrent ice_tx_map
call on another CPU to dereference the tstamp_ring, which could lead to
a NULL pointer dereference.
CPU A:ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() | CPU B:ice_tx_map()
--------------------------------|---------------------------------
tx_ring->tstamp_ring = NULL |
| ice_is_txtime_cfg() -> true
| tstamp_ring = tx_ring->tstamp_ring
| tstamp_ring->count // NULL deref!
flags &= ~ICE_TX_FLAGS_TXTIME |
Fix by:
1. Reordering ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring() to clear the flag before
NULLing the pointer, with smp_wmb() to ensure proper ordering.
2. Adding smp_rmb() in ice_tx_map() after the flag check to order the
flag read before the pointer read, using READ_ONCE() for the
pointer, and adding a NULL check as a safety net.
3. Converting tx_ring->flags from u8 to DECLARE_BITMAP() and using
atomic bitops (set_bit(), clear_bit(), test_bit()) for all flag
operations throughout the driver:
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_XDP
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_VLAN_L2TAG1
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_VLAN_L2TAG2
- ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME |

ice: fix potential NULL pointer deref in error path of ice_set_ringparam()
ice_set_ringparam nullifies tstamp_ring of temporary tx_rings, without
clearing ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME bit.
When ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME is set and the subsequent
ice_setup_tx_ring() call fails, a NULL pointer dereference could happen
in the unwinding sequence:
ice_clean_tx_ring()
-> ice_is_txtime_cfg() == true (ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME is set)
-> ice_free_tx_tstamp_ring()
-> ice_free_tstamp_ring()
-> tstamp_ring->desc (NULL deref)
Clear ICE_TX_RING_FLAGS_TXTIME bit to avoid the potential issue.

sctp: fix OOB write to userspace in sctp_getsockopt_peer_auth_chunks
sctp_getsockopt_peer_auth_chunks() checks that the caller's optval
buffer is large enough for the peer AUTH chunk list with
if (len < num_chunks)
return -EINVAL;
but then writes num_chunks bytes to p->gauth_chunks, which lives
at offset offsetof(struct sctp_authchunks, gauth_chunks) == 8
inside optval. The check is missing the sizeof(struct
sctp_authchunks) = 8-byte header. When the caller supplies
len == num_chunks (for any num_chunks > 0) the test passes but
copy_to_user() writes sizeof(struct sctp_authchunks) = 8 bytes
past the declared buffer.
The sibling function sctp_getsockopt_local_auth_chunks() at the
next line already has the correct check:
if (len < sizeof(struct sctp_authchunks) + num_chunks)
return -EINVAL;
Align the peer variant with its sibling.
Reproducer confirms on v7.0-13-generic: an unprivileged userspace
caller that opens a loopback SCTP association with AUTH enabled,
queries num_chunks with a short optval, then issues the real
getsockopt with len == num_chunks and sentinel bytes painted past
the buffer observes those sentinel bytes overwritten with the
peer's AUTH chunk type. The bytes written are under the peer's
control but land in the caller's own userspace; this is not a
kernel memory corruption, but it is a kernel-side contract
violation that can silently corrupt adjacent userspace data. |

net/rds: zero per-item info buffer before handing it to visitors

then copy the full item_len bytes back to user space via
rds_info_copy() regardless of how much of the buffer the visitor
actually wrote.
rds_ib_conn_info_visitor() and rds6_ib_conn_info_visitor() only
write a subset of their output struct when the underlying
rds_connection is not in state RDS_CONN_UP (src/dst addr, tos, sl
and the two GIDs via explicit memsets). Several u32 fields
(max_send_wr, max_recv_wr, max_send_sge, rdma_mr_max, rdma_mr_size,
cache_allocs) and the 2-byte alignment hole between sl and
cache_allocs remain as whatever stack contents preceded the visitor
call and are then memcpy_to_user()'d out to user space.
struct rds_info_rdma_connection and struct rds6_info_rdma_connection

hole. The other info visitors (rds_conn_info_visitor,
rds6_conn_info_visitor, rds_tcp_tc_info, ...) write all fields of
their packed output struct today and are not known to be vulnerable,
but a future visitor that adds a conditional write-path would have
the same bug.
Reproduction on a kernel built without CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO=y:
a local unprivileged user opens AF_RDS, sets SO_RDS_TRANSPORT=IB,
binds to a local address on an RDMA-capable netdev (rxe soft-RoCE on
any netdev is sufficient), sendto()'s any peer on the same subnet
(fails cleanly but installs an rds_connection in the global hash in
RDS_CONN_CONNECTING), then calls getsockopt(SOL_RDS,
RDS_INFO_IB_CONNECTIONS). The returned 68-byte item contains 26
bytes of stack garbage including kernel text/data pointers:
0..7 0a 63 00 01 0a 63 00 02 src=10.99.0.1 dst=10.99.0.2
8..39 00 ... gids (memset-zeroed)
40..47 e0 92 a3 81 ff ff ff ff kernel pointer (max_send_wr)
48..55 7f 37 b5 81 ff ff ff ff kernel pointer (rdma_mr_max)
56..59 01 00 08 00 rdma_mr_size (garbage)
60..61 00 00 tos, sl
62..63 00 00 alignment padding
64..67 18 00 00 00 cache_allocs (garbage)
Fix by zeroing the per-item buffer in both rds_for_each_conn_info()
and rds_walk_conn_path_info() before invoking the visitor. This
covers the IPv4/IPv6 IB visitors and hardens all current and future
visitors against the same class of bug.
No functional change for visitors that fully populate their output.
Changes in v2:
- retarget at the net tree (subject prefix "[PATCH net v2]",
net/rds: prefix in the title)
- pick up Reviewed-by tags from Sharath Srinivasan and
