[ Upstream commit 325f510fcd9cda5a44bcb662b74ba4e3dabaca10 ]
We have to wait at least the minimium time for the watchdog window
(TWDMIN) before writings to the wdt register after the
watchdog is activated.
Otherwise the chip will assert TWD_ERROR and power down to reset mode.

Based on my analysis, here's my assessment: **YES** This commit should
be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ##
Analysis of the Commit ### 1. **Bug Fix Nature** The commit fixes a
critical hardware timing constraint issue. The DA9052 PMIC has a minimum
watchdog window time (TWDMIN = 256ms) that must be respected. Writing to
the watchdog register before this time elapses causes the chip to assert
TWD_ERROR and power down to reset mode, which is a serious system
failure. ### 2. **Code Changes Analysis** The commit makes a single,
targeted change in `drivers/watchdog/da9052_wdt.c`: ```c
da9052_wdt->timeout = DA9052_DEF_TIMEOUT;
+da9052_wdt->min_hw_heartbeat_ms = DA9052_TWDMIN; da9052_wdt->info =
&da9052_wdt_info; ``` This change adds `min_hw_heartbeat_ms =
DA9052_TWDMIN` (256ms) to the watchdog device structure during probe.
### 3. **Technical Correctness** - **DA9052_TWDMIN is already defined**
as 256 in the driver (line 25) - **The current code already implements
manual timing protection** in `da9052_wdt_ping()` (lines 119-121) using
jiffies tracking and `mdelay()` - **The watchdog core provides proper
infrastructure** for `min_hw_heartbeat_ms` as seen in similar
DA9062/DA9063 drivers and watchdog core code - **This replaces manual
timing logic with standard core handling**, making it more reliable and
consistent ### 4. **Risk Assessment - Very Low** - **Minimal code
change**: Only adds one line setting a field - **No behavioral change**:
The timing constraint was already enforced manually - **Uses existing
infrastructure**: `min_hw_heartbeat_ms` is well-established in watchdog
core - **Consistent with related drivers**: DA9062 and DA9063 drivers
use the same pattern - **No architectural changes**: Just moves timing
enforcement from driver to core ### 5. **User Impact - High** -
**Prevents system resets**: Without this fix, rapid watchdog pings can
cause unexpected system shutdowns - **Hardware protection**: Prevents
TWD_ERROR assertion which leads to PMIC reset - **Critical for
production systems**: Watchdog failures can cause data loss and system
instability ### 6. **Stable Tree Criteria Compliance** - ✅ **Important
bugfix**: Prevents system resets due to hardware timing violations - ✅
**Minimal risk**: Single line addition using existing infrastructure - ✅
**Small and contained**: Only affects DA9052 watchdog driver - ✅ **No
new features**: Just improves existing timing protection - ✅ **Clear
benefit**: Moves from manual to core-handled timing protection ### 7.
**Comparison with Similar Commits** The provided similar commits (all
marked "NO") were different in nature: - **Commits #1-3**: Added new
functionality or made architectural changes to use core protection -
**Commits #4-5**: Simple cleanup removing error messages - **This
commit**: Fixes a critical hardware timing bug that can cause system
resets This commit is fundamentally different - it fixes a real hardware
constraint violation that can cause system failures, not just cleanup or
new features. The commit perfectly fits stable tree criteria: it's a
small, low-risk fix for an important hardware-related bug that can cause
system instability.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my analysis: ## Security and Stability Issue This commit fixes a
critical **array-index-out-of-bounds vulnerability** that can be
triggered via sysfs. The issue occurs when `con2fb_map[console]`
contains `-1`, causing `fbcon_info_from_console()` to access
`fbcon_registered_fb[-1]`, which is an out-of-bounds array access. ##
Bug Analysis The problem is in the `fbcon_info_from_console()` function
at line 122: ```c // Before fix: return
fbcon_registered_fb[con2fb_map[console]]; // After fix: fb =
con2fb_map[console]; if (fb < 0 || fb >=
ARRAY_SIZE(fbcon_registered_fb)) return NULL; return
fbcon_registered_fb[fb]; ``` ## Trigger Path The vulnerability can be
triggered through: 1. **sysfs interface**: Writing to
`/sys/class/graphics/fbX/modes` 2. **Call chain**: `store_modes()` →
`fb_new_modelist()` → `fbcon_new_modelist()` →
`fbcon_info_from_console()` 3. **User-accessible**: This is exploitable
from userspace through the sysfs interface ## Code Context from Analysis
Based on the git blame, the vulnerable code path in
`fbcon_new_modelist()` has existed since: - Original code from **2005**
(Linus Torvalds) - The problematic `fbcon_info_from_console()` call was
added in **2022** by commit `409d6c95f9c6` ("fbcon: Introduce wrapper
for console->fb_info lookup") ## Risk Assessment 1. **High Impact**:
UBSAN array bounds violation, potential for memory corruption 2. **User
Triggerable**: Accessible via standard sysfs interface 3. **Long-
standing**: The vulnerable pattern has existed since 2022 when the
wrapper was introduced 4. **Active Exploitation**: Reported by syzbot,
indicating active fuzzing found this issue ## Backport Suitability 1.
**Small & Contained**: Only 6 lines changed in a single function 2.
**Safe Fix**: Adds bounds checking without changing logic flow 3. **No
Dependencies**: The fix is self-contained and doesn't require other
commits 4. **Clear Bug**: Definitively fixes out-of-bounds access with
proper NULL return 5. **Stable Pattern**: Callers already handle NULL
returns from `fbcon_info_from_console()` ## Comparison to Historical
Precedent Looking at the similar commits provided: - **Similar Commit
#1** (Backport Status: YES): Fixed boundary checks in fbcon parameter
parsing - this follows the same pattern of fixing bounds issues in fbcon
- The other NO commits were architectural changes or refactoring, not
security fixes This commit perfectly fits the stable tree criteria: it's
an important bugfix, has minimal regression risk, is contained to a
single subsystem, and fixes a user-triggerable vulnerability.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's
my analysis: ## Security and Stability Issue This commit fixes a
critical **array-index-out-of-bounds vulnerability** that can be
triggered via sysfs. The issue occurs when `con2fb_map[console]`
contains `-1`, causing `fbcon_info_from_console()` to access
`fbcon_registered_fb[-1]`, which is an out-of-bounds array access. ##
Bug Analysis The problem is in the `fbcon_info_from_console()` function
at line 122: ```c // Before fix: return
fbcon_registered_fb[con2fb_map[console]]; // After fix: fb =
con2fb_map[console]; if (fb < 0 || fb >=
ARRAY_SIZE(fbcon_registered_fb)) return NULL; return
fbcon_registered_fb[fb]; ``` ## Trigger Path The vulnerability can be
triggered through: 1. **sysfs interface**: Writing to
`/sys/class/graphics/fbX/modes` 2. **Call chain**: `store_modes()` →
`fb_new_modelist()` → `fbcon_new_modelist()` →
`fbcon_info_from_console()` 3. **User-accessible**: This is exploitable
from userspace through the sysfs interface ## Code Context from Analysis
Based on the git blame, the vulnerable code path in
`fbcon_new_modelist()` has existed since: - Original code from **2005**
(Linus Torvalds) - The problematic `fbcon_info_from_console()` call was
added in **2022** by commit `409d6c95f9c6` ("fbcon: Introduce wrapper
for console->fb_info lookup") ## Risk Assessment 1. **High Impact**:
UBSAN array bounds violation, potential for memory corruption 2. **User
Triggerable**: Accessible via standard sysfs interface 3. **Long-
standing**: The vulnerable pattern has existed since 2022 when the
wrapper was introduced 4. **Active Exploitation**: Reported by syzbot,
indicating active fuzzing found this issue ## Backport Suitability 1.
**Small & Contained**: Only 6 lines changed in a single function 2.
**Safe Fix**: Adds bounds checking without changing logic flow 3. **No
Dependencies**: The fix is self-contained and doesn't require other
commits 4. **Clear Bug**: Definitively fixes out-of-bounds access with
proper NULL return 5. **Stable Pattern**: Callers already handle NULL
returns from `fbcon_info_from_console()` ## Comparison to Historical
Precedent Looking at the similar commits provided: - **Similar Commit
#1** (Backport Status: YES): Fixed boundary checks in fbcon parameter
parsing - this follows the same pattern of fixing bounds issues in fbcon
- The other NO commits were architectural changes or refactoring, not
security fixes This commit perfectly fits the stable tree criteria: it's
an important bugfix, has minimal regression risk, is contained to a
single subsystem, and fixes a user-triggerable vulnerability.

Use the helper screen_info_video_type() to get the framebuffer
type from struct screen_info. Handle supported values in sorted
switch statement.
Reading orig_video_isVGA is unreliable. On most systems it is a
VIDEO_TYPE_ constant. On some systems with VGA it is simply set
to 1 to signal the presence of a VGA output. See vga_probe() for
an example. Retrieving the screen_info type with the helper
screen_info_video_type() detects these cases and returns the
appropriate VIDEO_TYPE_ constant. For VGA, sysfb creates a device
named "vga-framebuffer".
The sysfb code has been taken from vga16fb, where it likely didn't
work correctly either. With this bugfix applied, vga16fb loads for
compatible vga-framebuffer devices.

Apply PCI host-bridge window offsets to screen_info framebuffers. Fixes
invalid access to I/O memory.
Resources behind a PCI host bridge can be relocated by a certain offset
in the kernel's CPU address range used for I/O. The framebuffer memory
range stored in screen_info refers to the CPU addresses as seen during
boot (where the offset is 0). During boot up, firmware may assign a
different memory offset to the PCI host bridge and thereby relocating
the framebuffer address of the PCI graphics device as seen by the kernel.
The information in screen_info must be updated as well.
The helper pcibios_bus_to_resource() performs the relocation of the
screen_info's framebuffer resource (given in PCI bus addresses). The
result matches the I/O-memory resource of the PCI graphics device (given
in CPU addresses). As before, we store away the information necessary to
later update the information in screen_info itself.
Commit 78aa89d1dfba ("firmware/sysfb: Update screen_info for relocated
EFI framebuffers") added the code for updating screen_info. It is based
on similar functionality that pre-existed in efifb. Efifb uses a pointer
to the PCI resource, while the newer code does a memcpy of the region.
Hence efifb sees any updates to the PCI resource and avoids the issue.
v3:
- Only use struct pci_bus_region for PCI bus addresses (Bjorn)
- Clarify address semantics in commit messages and comments (Bjorn)
v2:
- Fixed tags (Takashi, Ivan)
- Updated information on efifb

Reading DPCD registers has side-effects in general. In particular
accessing registers outside of the link training register range
(0x102-0x106, 0x202-0x207, 0x200c-0x200f, 0x2216) is explicitly
forbidden by the DP v2.1 Standard, see
3.6.5.1 DPTX AUX Transaction Handling Mandates
3.6.7.4 128b/132b DP Link Layer LTTPR Link Training Mandates
Based on my tests, accessing the DPCD_REV register during the link
training of an UHBR TBT DP tunnel sink leads to link training failures.
Solve the above by using the DP_LANE0_1_STATUS (0x202) register for the
DPCD register access quirk.

Object creation is a careful dance where we must guarantee that the
object is fully constructed before it is visible to other threads, and
GEM buffer objects are no difference.
Final publishing happens by calling drm_gem_handle_create(). After
that the only allowed thing to do is call drm_gem_object_put() because
a concurrent call to the GEM_CLOSE ioctl with a correctly guessed id
(which is trivial since we have a linear allocator) can already tear
down the object again.
Luckily most drivers get this right, the very few exceptions I've
pinged the relevant maintainers for. Unfortunately we also need
drm_gem_handle_create() when creating additional handles for an
already existing object (e.g. GETFB ioctl or the various bo import
ioctl), and hence we cannot have a drm_gem_handle_create_and_put() as
the only exported function to stop these issues from happening.
Now unfortunately the implementation of drm_gem_handle_create() isn't
living up to standards: It does correctly finishe object
initialization at the global level, and hence is safe against a
concurrent tear down. But it also sets up the file-private aspects of
the handle, and that part goes wrong: We fully register the object in
the drm_file.object_idr before calling drm_vma_node_allow() or
obj->funcs->open, which opens up races against concurrent removal of
that handle in drm_gem_handle_delete().
Fix this with the usual two-stage approach of first reserving the
handle id, and then only registering the object after we've completed
the file-private setup.
Jacek reported this with a testcase of concurrently calling GEM_CLOSE
on a freshly-created object (which also destroys the object), but it
should be possible to hit this with just additional handles created
through import or GETFB without completed destroying the underlying
object with the concurrent GEM_CLOSE ioctl calls.
Note that the close-side of this race was fixed in f6cd7daecff5 ("drm:
Release driver references to handle before making it available
again"), which means a cool 9 years have passed until someone noticed
that we need to make this symmetry or there's still gaps left :-/
Without the 2-stage close approach we'd still have a race, therefore
that's an integral part of this bugfix.
More importantly, this means we can have NULL pointers behind
allocated id in our drm_file.object_idr. We need to check for that
now:
- drm_gem_handle_delete() checks for ERR_OR_NULL already
- drm_gem.c:object_lookup() also chekcs for NULL
- drm_gem_release() should never be called if there's another thread
still existing that could call into an IOCTL that creates a new
handle, so cannot race. For paranoia I added a NULL check to
drm_gem_object_release_handle() though.
- most drivers (etnaviv, i915, msm) are find because they use
idr_find, which maps both ENOENT and NULL to NULL.
- vmgfx is already broken vmw_debugfs_gem_info_show() because NULL
pointers might exist due to drm_gem_handle_delete(). This needs a
separate patch. This is because idr_for_each_entry terminates on the
first NULL entry and so might not iterate over everything.
- similar for amd in amdgpu_debugfs_gem_info_show() and
amdgpu_gem_force_release(). The latter is really questionable though
since it's a best effort hack and there's no way to close all the
races. Needs separate patches.
- xe is really broken because it not uses idr_for_each_entry() but
also drops the drm_file.table_lock, which can wreak the idr iterator
state if you're unlucky enough. Maybe another reason to look into
the drm fdinfo memory stats instead of hand-rolling too much.
- drm_show_memory_stats() is also broken since it uses
idr_for_each_entry. But since that's a preexisting bug I'll follow
up with a separate patch.

Based on my analysis of the commit and the codebase context, here's my
assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel
trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Code Analysis The commit adds
proper error checking for `dma_set_mask_and_coherent()` in the macb
network driver. Looking at the specific changes: **Before the fix:**
```c if (GEM_BFEXT(DAW64, gem_readl(bp, DCFG6))) {
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(44)); bp->hw_dma_cap
|= HW_DMA_CAP_64B; } ``` **After the fix:** ```c if (GEM_BFEXT(DAW64,
gem_readl(bp, DCFG6))) { err = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev,
DMA_BIT_MASK(44)); if (err) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to set DMA
mask\n"); goto err_out_free_netdev; } bp->hw_dma_cap |= HW_DMA_CAP_64B;
} ``` ## Why this should be backported: 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: The
original code ignores the return value of `dma_set_mask_and_coherent()`.
If this function fails (which can happen on systems with restricted DMA
capabilities), the driver would continue execution assuming 44-bit DMA
addressing is available when it's not, leading to potential memory
corruption or system crashes. 2. **Small, Contained Fix**: This is a
minimal change that only adds proper error checking without changing any
core logic or introducing new features. It follows the stable tree
principle of being a small, targeted bugfix. 3. **Follows Established
Patterns**: Looking at the similar commits provided, this matches
exactly the pattern of commits marked "YES" for backporting (commits #1,
#2, and #5) which all add proper error checking for DMA mask functions.
4. **Critical Network Driver**: The macb driver is used in production
systems, and DMA-related bugs can cause data corruption or system
instability, making this a high-priority fix for stable trees. 5.
**Proper Error Handling Path**: The fix correctly uses the existing
`err_out_free_netdev` label, which properly cleans up allocated
resources (line 5373-5383 in macb_main.c), preventing resource leaks
when DMA setup fails. 6. **Static Analysis Tool Flagged**: The commit
message mentions this was flagged by Coverity, indicating it's a
legitimate code quality issue that could manifest as a runtime bug. 7.
**Matches Stable Tree Criteria**: - Important bugfix ✓ - Minimal risk of
regression ✓ - No architectural changes ✓ - Confined to one
driver/subsystem ✓ - Clear side effects (proper cleanup on failure) ✓
This commit addresses the same class of vulnerability as the other "YES"
examples: ignoring return values of critical DMA functions that can fail
and lead to undefined behavior. The fix is surgical, safe, and addresses
a genuine runtime issue in a widely-used network driver.

trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Code Analysis The commit adds
proper error checking for `dma_set_mask_and_coherent()` in the macb
network driver. Looking at the specific changes: **Before the fix:**
```c if (GEM_BFEXT(DAW64, gem_readl(bp, DCFG6))) {
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(44)); bp->hw_dma_cap
|= HW_DMA_CAP_64B; } ``` **After the fix:** ```c if (GEM_BFEXT(DAW64,
gem_readl(bp, DCFG6))) { err = dma_set_mask_and_coherent(&pdev->dev,
DMA_BIT_MASK(44)); if (err) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to set DMA
mask\n"); goto err_out_free_netdev; } bp->hw_dma_cap |= HW_DMA_CAP_64B;
} ``` ## Why this should be backported: 1. **Fixes a Real Bug**: The
original code ignores the return value of `dma_set_mask_and_coherent()`.
If this function fails (which can happen on systems with restricted DMA
capabilities), the driver would continue execution assuming 44-bit DMA
addressing is available when it's not, leading to potential memory
corruption or system crashes. 2. **Small, Contained Fix**: This is a
minimal change that only adds proper error checking without changing any
core logic or introducing new features. It follows the stable tree
principle of being a small, targeted bugfix. 3. **Follows Established
Patterns**: Looking at the similar commits provided, this matches
exactly the pattern of commits marked "YES" for backporting (commits #1,
#2, and #5) which all add proper error checking for DMA mask functions.
4. **Critical Network Driver**: The macb driver is used in production
systems, and DMA-related bugs can cause data corruption or system
instability, making this a high-priority fix for stable trees. 5.
**Proper Error Handling Path**: The fix correctly uses the existing
`err_out_free_netdev` label, which properly cleans up allocated
resources (line 5373-5383 in macb_main.c), preventing resource leaks
when DMA setup fails. 6. **Static Analysis Tool Flagged**: The commit
message mentions this was flagged by Coverity, indicating it's a
legitimate code quality issue that could manifest as a runtime bug. 7.
**Matches Stable Tree Criteria**: - Important bugfix ✓ - Minimal risk of
regression ✓ - No architectural changes ✓ - Confined to one
driver/subsystem ✓ - Clear side effects (proper cleanup on failure) ✓
This commit addresses the same class of vulnerability as the other "YES"
examples: ignoring return values of critical DMA functions that can fail
and lead to undefined behavior. The fix is surgical, safe, and addresses
a genuine runtime issue in a widely-used network driver.

[ Upstream commit 3920a758800762917177a6b5ab39707d8e376fe6 ]
Issue flagged by coverity. Add a safety check for the return value
of dma_set_mask_and_coherent, go to a safe exit if it returns error.
