And this method calls hfs_ext_read_extent(): static int hfs_ext_read_extent(struct inode *inode, u16 block) { struct hfs_find_data fd; int res; if (block >= HFS_I(inode)->cached_start && block < HFS_I(inode)->cached_start + HFS_I(inode)->cached_blocks) return 0; res = hfs_find_init(HFS_SB(inode->i_sb)->ext_tree, &fd); if (!res) { res = __hfs_ext_cache_extent(&fd, inode, block); hfs_find_exit(&fd); } return res; } The problem here that hfs_find_init() is trying to use HFS_SB(inode->i_sb)->ext_tree that is not initialized yet. It will be initailized when hfs_btree_open() finishes the execution. The patch adds checking of tree pointer in hfs_find_init() and it reworks the logic of hfs_btree_open() by reading the b-tree's header directly from the volume. The read_mapping_page() is exchanged on filemap_grab_folio() that grab the folio from mapping. Then, sb_bread() extracts the b-tree's header content and copy it into the folio.

Here's my extensive analysis: ## Critical Bug Fix Analysis This commit fixes a **critical kernel panic** (general protection fault) that can be triggered during normal HFS filesystem operations. The bug represents a serious stability issue that meets stable kernel criteria. ## Root Cause Analysis The crash occurs due to a **use-before-initialization bug** in the HFS filesystem code: 1. **Initialization Order Issue**: When `hfs_fill_super()` is called, it tries to construct the Extents Tree via: ```c HFS_SB(sb)->ext_tree = hfs_btree_open(sb, HFS_EXT_CNID, hfs_ext_keycmp); ``` 2. **Circular Dependency**: During `hfs_btree_open()` execution: - It calls `read_mapping_page()` to read the btree header - This triggers `hfs_get_block()` - Which calls `hfs_ext_read_extent()` - Which tries to use `HFS_SB(inode->i_sb)->ext_tree` via `hfs_find_init()` - But `ext_tree` is NULL because we're still in the process of initializing it! 3. **NULL Pointer Dereference**: The crash stack trace shows: ``` KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000040-0x0000000000000047] ``` This occurs when trying to access `tree->max_key_len` at offset 0x40 from a NULL tree pointer. ## Fix Implementation The patch implements two key fixes: 1. **Defensive Programming**: Adds NULL checks in `hfs_find_init()`: ```c + if (!tree || !fd) + return -EINVAL; ``` 2. **Breaking the Circular Dependency**: Reworks `hfs_btree_open()` to avoid the problematic code path: - Replaces `read_mapping_page()` with `filemap_grab_folio()` - Uses `sb_bread()` to read the btree header directly from disk - Avoids going through the extent management code during initialization ## Backport Justification This commit meets all stable kernel criteria: 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: Prevents a kernel panic that can be triggered during normal filesystem operations 2. **Small and Contained**: The changes are limited to HFS filesystem code with no impact on other subsystems 3. **Clear Fix**: The solution directly addresses the root cause without architectural changes 4. **No New Features**: Only fixes the existing bug without adding functionality 5. **High Impact**: Kernel panics are critical issues that affect system stability 6. **Minimal Risk**: Changes are confined to HFS subsystem with clear boundaries ## Additional Context - The commit includes a detailed crash trace showing this is a real- world issue - Recent commit history shows HFS has had multiple similar stability fixes (slab-out-of-bounds, OOB reads/writes) - The fix follows established patterns for handling initialization order issues - The reporter is credited (Wenzhi Wang from University of Waterloo), indicating this was found through testing/research This is exactly the type of bug fix that stable kernels exist to incorporate - preventing kernel crashes without introducing new risks. fs/hfs/bfind.c | 3 +++ fs/hfs/btree.c | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- fs/hfs/extent.c | 2 +- fs/hfs/hfs_fs.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/hfs/bfind.c b/fs/hfs/bfind.c index ef9498a6e88a..34e9804e0f36 100644 --- a/fs/hfs/bfind.c +++ b/fs/hfs/bfind.c @@ -16,6 +16,9 @@ int hfs_find_init(struct hfs_btree *tree, struct hfs_find_data *fd) { void *ptr;

And this method calls hfs_ext_read_extent(): static int hfs_ext_read_extent(struct inode *inode, u16 block) { struct hfs_find_data fd; int res; if (block >= HFS_I(inode)->cached_start && block < HFS_I(inode)->cached_start + HFS_I(inode)->cached_blocks) return 0; res = hfs_find_init(HFS_SB(inode->i_sb)->ext_tree, &fd); if (!res) { res = __hfs_ext_cache_extent(&fd, inode, block); hfs_find_exit(&fd); } return res; } The problem here that hfs_find_init() is trying to use HFS_SB(inode->i_sb)->ext_tree that is not initialized yet. It will be initailized when hfs_btree_open() finishes the execution. The patch adds checking of tree pointer in hfs_find_init() and it reworks the logic of hfs_btree_open() by reading the b-tree's header directly from the volume. The read_mapping_page() is exchanged on filemap_grab_folio() that grab the folio from mapping. Then, sb_bread() extracts the b-tree's header content and copy it into the folio.

Here's my extensive analysis: ## Critical Bug Fix Analysis This commit fixes a **critical kernel panic** (general protection fault) that can be triggered during normal HFS filesystem operations. The bug represents a serious stability issue that meets stable kernel criteria. ## Root Cause Analysis The crash occurs due to a **use-before-initialization bug** in the HFS filesystem code: 1. **Initialization Order Issue**: When `hfs_fill_super()` is called, it tries to construct the Extents Tree via: ```c HFS_SB(sb)->ext_tree = hfs_btree_open(sb, HFS_EXT_CNID, hfs_ext_keycmp); ``` 2. **Circular Dependency**: During `hfs_btree_open()` execution: - It calls `read_mapping_page()` to read the btree header - This triggers `hfs_get_block()` - Which calls `hfs_ext_read_extent()` - Which tries to use `HFS_SB(inode->i_sb)->ext_tree` via `hfs_find_init()` - But `ext_tree` is NULL because we're still in the process of initializing it! 3. **NULL Pointer Dereference**: The crash stack trace shows: ``` KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000040-0x0000000000000047] ``` This occurs when trying to access `tree->max_key_len` at offset 0x40 from a NULL tree pointer. ## Fix Implementation The patch implements two key fixes: 1. **Defensive Programming**: Adds NULL checks in `hfs_find_init()`: ```c + if (!tree || !fd) + return -EINVAL; ``` 2. **Breaking the Circular Dependency**: Reworks `hfs_btree_open()` to avoid the problematic code path: - Replaces `read_mapping_page()` with `filemap_grab_folio()` - Uses `sb_bread()` to read the btree header directly from disk - Avoids going through the extent management code during initialization ## Backport Justification This commit meets all stable kernel criteria: 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: Prevents a kernel panic that can be triggered during normal filesystem operations 2. **Small and Contained**: The changes are limited to HFS filesystem code with no impact on other subsystems 3. **Clear Fix**: The solution directly addresses the root cause without architectural changes 4. **No New Features**: Only fixes the existing bug without adding functionality 5. **High Impact**: Kernel panics are critical issues that affect system stability 6. **Minimal Risk**: Changes are confined to HFS subsystem with clear boundaries ## Additional Context - The commit includes a detailed crash trace showing this is a real- world issue - Recent commit history shows HFS has had multiple similar stability fixes (slab-out-of-bounds, OOB reads/writes) - The fix follows established patterns for handling initialization order issues - The reporter is credited (Wenzhi Wang from University of Waterloo), indicating this was found through testing/research This is exactly the type of bug fix that stable kernels exist to incorporate - preventing kernel crashes without introducing new risks. fs/hfs/bfind.c | 3 +++ fs/hfs/btree.c | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- fs/hfs/extent.c | 2 +- fs/hfs/hfs_fs.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/hfs/bfind.c b/fs/hfs/bfind.c index ef9498a6e88a..34e9804e0f36 100644 --- a/fs/hfs/bfind.c +++ b/fs/hfs/bfind.c @@ -16,6 +16,9 @@ int hfs_find_init(struct hfs_btree *tree, struct hfs_find_data *fd) { void *ptr;

It will be initailized when hfs_btree_open() finishes the execution. The patch adds checking of tree pointer in hfs_find_init() and it reworks the logic of hfs_btree_open() by reading the b-tree's header directly from the volume. The read_mapping_page() is exchanged on filemap_grab_folio() that grab the folio from mapping. Then, sb_bread() extracts the b-tree's header content and copy it into the folio.

Here's my extensive analysis: ## Critical Bug Fix Analysis This commit fixes a **critical kernel panic** (general protection fault) that can be triggered during normal HFS filesystem operations. The bug represents a serious stability issue that meets stable kernel criteria. ## Root Cause Analysis The crash occurs due to a **use-before-initialization bug** in the HFS filesystem code: 1. **Initialization Order Issue**: When `hfs_fill_super()` is called, it tries to construct the Extents Tree via: ```c HFS_SB(sb)->ext_tree = hfs_btree_open(sb, HFS_EXT_CNID, hfs_ext_keycmp); ``` 2. **Circular Dependency**: During `hfs_btree_open()` execution: - It calls `read_mapping_page()` to read the btree header - This triggers `hfs_get_block()` - Which calls `hfs_ext_read_extent()` - Which tries to use `HFS_SB(inode->i_sb)->ext_tree` via `hfs_find_init()` - But `ext_tree` is NULL because we're still in the process of initializing it! 3. **NULL Pointer Dereference**: The crash stack trace shows: ``` KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000040-0x0000000000000047] ``` This occurs when trying to access `tree->max_key_len` at offset 0x40 from a NULL tree pointer. ## Fix Implementation The patch implements two key fixes: 1. **Defensive Programming**: Adds NULL checks in `hfs_find_init()`: ```c + if (!tree || !fd) + return -EINVAL; ``` 2. **Breaking the Circular Dependency**: Reworks `hfs_btree_open()` to avoid the problematic code path: - Replaces `read_mapping_page()` with `filemap_grab_folio()` - Uses `sb_bread()` to read the btree header directly from disk - Avoids going through the extent management code during initialization ## Backport Justification This commit meets all stable kernel criteria: 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: Prevents a kernel panic that can be triggered during normal filesystem operations 2. **Small and Contained**: The changes are limited to HFS filesystem code with no impact on other subsystems 3. **Clear Fix**: The solution directly addresses the root cause without architectural changes 4. **No New Features**: Only fixes the existing bug without adding functionality 5. **High Impact**: Kernel panics are critical issues that affect system stability 6. **Minimal Risk**: Changes are confined to HFS subsystem with clear boundaries ## Additional Context - The commit includes a detailed crash trace showing this is a real- world issue - Recent commit history shows HFS has had multiple similar stability fixes (slab-out-of-bounds, OOB reads/writes) - The fix follows established patterns for handling initialization order issues - The reporter is credited (Wenzhi Wang from University of Waterloo), indicating this was found through testing/research This is exactly the type of bug fix that stable kernels exist to incorporate - preventing kernel crashes without introducing new risks. fs/hfs/bfind.c | 3 +++ fs/hfs/btree.c | 57 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- fs/hfs/extent.c | 2 +- fs/hfs/hfs_fs.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/hfs/bfind.c b/fs/hfs/bfind.c index ef9498a6e88a..34e9804e0f36 100644 --- a/fs/hfs/bfind.c +++ b/fs/hfs/bfind.c @@ -16,6 +16,9 @@ int hfs_find_init(struct hfs_btree *tree, struct hfs_find_data *fd) { void *ptr;

[PATCH v2] usb: renesas-xhci: Fix External ROM access timeouts

by Marek Vasut

Increase the External ROM access timeouts to prevent failures during programming of External SPI EEPROM chips. The current timeouts are too short for some SPI EEPROMs used with uPD720201 controllers. The current timeout for Chip Erase in renesas_rom_erase() is 100 ms , the current timeout for Sector Erase issued by the controller before Page Program in renesas_fw_download_image() is also 100 ms. Neither timeout is sufficient for e.g. the Macronix MX25L5121E or MX25V5126F. MX25L5121E reference manual [1] page 35 section "ERASE AND PROGRAMMING PERFORMANCE" and page 23 section "Table 8. AC CHARACTERISTICS (Temperature = 0°C to 70°C for Commercial grade, VCC = 2.7V ~ 3.6V)" row "tCE" indicate that the maximum time required for Chip Erase opcode to complete is 2 s, and for Sector Erase it is 300 ms . MX25V5126F reference manual [2] page 47 section "13. ERASE AND PROGRAMMING PERFORMANCE (2.3V - 3.6V)" and page 42 section "Table 8. AC CHARACTERISTICS (Temperature = -40°C to 85°C for Industrial grade, VCC = 2.3V - 3.6V)" row "tCE" indicate that the maximum time required for Chip Erase opcode to complete is 3.2 s, and for Sector Erase it is 400 ms . Update the timeouts such, that Chip Erase timeout is set to 5 seconds, and Sector Erase timeout is set to 500 ms. Such lengthy timeouts ought to be sufficient for majority of SPI EEPROM chips.

[PATCH v2] kcov, usb: Fix invalid context sleep in softirq path on PREEMPT_RT

by Yunseong Kim

The KCOV subsystem currently utilizes standard spinlock_t and local_lock_t for synchronization. In PREEMPT_RT configurations, these locks can be implemented via rtmutexes and may therefore sleep. This behavior is problematic as kcov locks are sometimes used in atomic contexts or protect data accessed during critical instrumentation paths where sleeping is not permissible. Address these issues to make kcov PREEMPT_RT friendly: 1. Convert kcov->lock and kcov_remote_lock from spinlock_t to raw_spinlock_t. This ensures they remain true, non-sleeping spinlocks even on PREEMPT_RT kernels. 2. Refactor the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE path to move memory allocations out of the critical section. All necessary struct kcov_remote structures are now pre-allocated individually in kcov_ioctl() using GFP_KERNEL (allowing sleep) before acquiring the raw spinlocks. 3. Modify the ioctl handling logic to utilize these pre-allocated structures within the critical section. kcov_remote_add() is modified to accept a pre-allocated structure instead of allocating one internally. 4. Remove the local_lock_t protection for kcov_percpu_data in kcov_remote_start/stop(). Since local_lock_t can also sleep under RT, and the required protection is against local interrupts when accessing per-CPU data, it is replaced with explicit local_irq_save/restore().

Text mode VGA-console scrolling is broken in upstream & stable trees

by Jari Ruusu

The patch that broke text mode VGA-console scrolling is this one: "vgacon: Add check for vc_origin address range in vgacon_scroll()" commit 864f9963ec6b4b76d104d595ba28110b87158003 upstream. How to preproduce: (1) boot a kernel that is configured to use text mode VGA-console (2) type commands: ls -l /usr/bin | less -S (3) scroll up/down with cursor-down/up keys Above mentioned patch seems to have landed in upstream and all kernel.org stable trees with zero testing. Even minimal testing would have shown that it breaks text mode VGA-console scrolling. Greg, Sasha, Linus, Please consider reverting that buggy patch from all affected trees. -- Jari Ruusu 4096R/8132F189 12D6 4C3A DCDA 0AA4 27BD ACDF F073 3C80 8132 F189

[merged mm-stable] mm-fix-a-uaf-when-vma-mm-is-freed-after-vma-vm_refcnt-got-dropped.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: fix a UAF when vma->mm is freed after vma->vm_refcnt got dropped has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-fix-a-uaf-when-vma-mm-is-freed-after-vma-vm_refcnt-got-dropped.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb(a)google.com> Subject: mm: fix a UAF when vma->mm is freed after vma->vm_refcnt got dropped Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 10:53:55 -0700 By inducing delays in the right places, Jann Horn created a reproducer for a hard to hit UAF issue that became possible after VMAs were allowed to be recycled by adding SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU to their cache. Race description is borrowed from Jann's discovery report: lock_vma_under_rcu() looks up a VMA locklessly with mas_walk() under rcu_read_lock(). At that point, the VMA may be concurrently freed, and it can be recycled by another process. vma_start_read() then increments the vma->vm_refcnt (if it is in an acceptable range), and if this succeeds, vma_start_read() can return a recycled VMA. In this scenario where the VMA has been recycled, lock_vma_under_rcu() will then detect the mismatching ->vm_mm pointer and drop the VMA through vma_end_read(), which calls vma_refcount_put(). vma_refcount_put() drops the refcount and then calls rcuwait_wake_up() using a copy of vma->vm_mm. This is wrong: It implicitly assumes that the caller is keeping the VMA's mm alive, but in this scenario the caller has no relation to the VMA's mm, so the rcuwait_wake_up() can cause UAF. The diagram depicting the race: T1 T2 T3 == == == lock_vma_under_rcu mas_walk <VMA gets removed from mm> mmap <the same VMA is reallocated> vma_start_read __refcount_inc_not_zero_limited_acquire munmap __vma_enter_locked refcount_add_not_zero vma_end_read vma_refcount_put __refcount_dec_and_test rcuwait_wait_event <finish operation> rcuwait_wake_up [UAF] Note that rcuwait_wait_event() in T3 does not block because refcount was already dropped by T1. At this point T3 can exit and free the mm causing UAF in T1. To avoid this we move vma->vm_mm verification into vma_start_read() and grab vma->vm_mm to stabilize it before vma_refcount_put() operation.
