Hi,
I would like to request backporting 5326ab737a47 ("virtio_console: fix
order of fields cols and rows") to all LTS kernels.
I'm working on QEMU patches that add virtio console size support.
Without the fix, rows and columns will be swapped.
As far as I know, there are no device implementations that use the
wrong order and would by broken by the fix.
Note: A previous version [1] of the patch contained "Cc: stable" and
"Fixes:" tags, but they seem to have been accidentally left out from
the final version.
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250320172654.624657-1-maxbr@linux.ibm.com/
Thanks,
Filip Hejsek
Fix a memory leak in gpi_peripheral_config() where the original memory
pointed to by gchan->config could be lost if krealloc() fails.
The issue occurs when:
1. gchan->config points to previously allocated memory
2. krealloc() fails and returns NULL
3. The function directly assigns NULL to gchan->config, losing the
reference to the original memory
4. The original memory becomes unreachable and cannot be freed
Fix this by using a temporary variable to hold the krealloc() result
and only updating gchan->config when the allocation succeeds.
Found via static analysis and code review.

If SMT is disabled or a partial SMT state is enabled, when a new kernel
image is loaded for kexec, on reboot the following warning is observed:
kexec: Waking offline cpu 228.

This occurs as add_cpu() fails due to cpu_bootable() returning false for
CPUs that fail the cpu_smt_thread_allowed() check or non primary
threads if SMT is disabled.
Fix the issue by enabling SMT and resetting the number of SMT threads to
the number of threads per core, before attempting to wake up all present
CPUs.

When simple_write_to_buffer() succeeds, it returns the number of bytes
actually copied to the buffer, which may be less than the requested
'count' if the buffer size is insufficient. However, the current code
incorrectly uses 'count' as the index for null termination instead of
the actual bytes copied, leading to out-of-bound write.
Add a check for the count and use the return value as the index.
Found via static analysis. This is similar to the
commit da9374819eb3 ("iio: backend: fix out-of-bound write")

When fsl_edma_alloc_chan_resources() fails after clk_prepare_enable(),
the error paths only free IRQs and destroy the TCD pool, but forget to
call clk_disable_unprepare(). This causes the channel clock to remain
enabled, leaking power and resources.
Fix it by disabling the channel clock in the error unwind path.

2.20.1
A user reports that on their Lenovo Corsola Magneton with EC firmware
steelix-15194.270.0 the driver probe fails with EINVAL. It turns out
that the power LED does not contain any color components as indicated
by the following "ectool led power query" output:
Brightness range for LED 1:
red : 0x0
green : 0x0
blue : 0x0
yellow : 0x0
white : 0x0
amber : 0x0
The LED also does not react to commands sent manually through ectool and
is generally non-functional.
Instead of failing the probe for all LEDs managed by the EC when one
without color components is encountered, silently skip those.

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
