OP-TEE supplicant is a user-space daemon and it's possible for it
being hung or crashed or killed in the middle of processing an OP-TEE
RPC call. It becomes more complicated when there is incorrect shutdown
ordering of the supplicant process vs the OP-TEE client application which
can eventually lead to system hang-up waiting for the closure of the
client application.
Allow the client process waiting in kernel for supplicant response to
be killed rather than indefinitetly waiting in an unkillable state. This
fixes issues observed during system reboot/shutdown when supplicant got
hung for some reason or gets crashed/killed which lead to client getting
hung in an unkillable state. It in turn lead to system being in hung up
state requiring hard power off/on to recover.

Changes in v2:
- Switch to killable wait instead as suggested by Arnd instead
of supplicant timeout. It atleast allow the client to wait for
supplicant in killable state which in turn allows system to reboot
or shutdown gracefully.

Please avoid including this patch for now. It turned out it needs more

If an AX25 device is bound to a socket by setting the SO_BINDTODEVICE
socket option, a refcount leak will occur in ax25_release().
Commit 9fd75b66b8f6 ("ax25: Fix refcount leaks caused by ax25_cb_del()")
added decrement of device refcounts in ax25_release(). In order for that
to work correctly the refcounts must already be incremented when the
device is bound to the socket. An AX25 device can be bound to a socket
by either calling ax25_bind() or setting SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option.
In both cases the refcounts should be incremented, but in fact it is done
only in ax25_bind().
This bug leads to the following issue reported by Syzkaller:

2.39.2
There are two variables that indicate the interrupt type to be used
in the next test execution, "irq_type" as global and test->irq_type.
The global is referenced from pci_endpoint_test_get_irq() to preserve
the current type for ioctl(PCITEST_GET_IRQTYPE).
The type set in this function isn't reflected in the global "irq_type",
so ioctl(PCITEST_GET_IRQTYPE) returns the previous type.
As a result, the wrong type will be displayed in "pcitest" as follows:
# pcitest -i 0
SET IRQ TYPE TO LEGACY: OKAY
# pcitest -I
GET IRQ TYPE: MSI
Fix this issue by propagating the current type to the global "irq_type".

2.25.1
Add a sanity check to madvise_dontneed_free() to address a corner case
in madvise where a race condition causes the current vma being processed
to be backed by a different page size.
During a madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) call on a memory region registered with
a userfaultfd, there's a period of time where the process mm lock is
temporarily released in order to send a UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE and let
userspace handle the event. During this time, the vma covering the
current address range may change due to an explicit mmap done
concurrently by another thread.
If, after that change, the memory region, which was originally backed by
4KB pages, is now backed by hugepages, the end address is rounded down
to a hugepage boundary to avoid data loss (see "Fixes" below). This
rounding may cause the end address to be truncated to the same address
as the start.
Make this corner case follow the same semantics as in other similar
cases where the requested region has zero length (ie. return 0).
This will make madvise_walk_vmas() continue to the next vma in the
range (this time holding the process mm lock) which, due to the prev
pointer becoming stale because of the vma change, will be the same
hugepage-backed vma that was just checked before. The next time
madvise_dontneed_free() runs for this vma, if the start address isn't
aligned to a hugepage boundary, it'll return -EINVAL, which is also in
line with the madvise api.
From userspace perspective, madvise() will return EINVAL because the
start address isn't aligned according to the new vma alignment
requirements (hugepage), even though it was correctly page-aligned when
the call was issued.

2.48.1
From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu(a)huawei.com>
Commit 11c60f23ed13 ("integrity: Remove unused macro
IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS") removed the IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS mask, due to it
not being used after commit 0d73a55208e9 ("ima: re-introduce own integrity
cache lock").
However, it seems that the latter commit mistakenly used the wrong mask
when moving the code from ima_inode_post_setattr() to
process_measurement(). There is no mention in the commit message about this
change and it looks quite important, since changing from IMA_ACTIONS_FLAGS
(later renamed to IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS) to IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS was done by
commit 42a4c603198f0 ("ima: fix ima_inode_post_setattr").
Restore the original change of resetting only the policy-specific flags and
not the new file status, but with new mask 0xfb000000 since the
policy-specific flags changed meanwhile. Also rename IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS
to IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS, to be consistent with IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS.

Hello Christian,
It will cause problems for real applications if the specific event happens, but that happens with a very low probability. It's more an issue that can be resolved at the author's convenience, but I would be comfortable if the issue I discovered is acknowledged at least, if not addressed.

Some packets sent during the high RTT phase experienced long delays in reaching the destination, while later packets, benefiting from the lower RTT, arrived earlier. This out-of-order arrival triggered the receiver to generate duplicate acknowledgments (dup ACKs). Due to the low RTT, these dup ACKs quickly reached the sender. Upon receiving three dup ACKs, the sender initiated a fast retransmission for an earlier packet that was not lost but was simply taking longer to arrive. Interestingly, despite the fast-retransmitted packet experienced a lower RTT, the original delayed packet still arrived first. When the receiver received this packet, it sent an ACK for the next packet in sequence. However, upon later receiving the fast-retransmitted packet, an issue arose in its logic for updating the acknowledgment number. As a result, even after the next expected packet was received, the acknowledgment number was not updated correctly. The receiver continued sending dup ACKs, ultimately forcing bbr into the retransmission timeout (RTO) phase.

> > I generated this issue in linux kernel version 5.15.0-117-generic with Ubuntu 20.04. I attempted to confirm whether the issue persists with the latest Linux kernel. However, I discovered that the behavior of bbr has changed in the most recent kernel version, where it now sends chunks of packets instead of sending them one by one over time. As a result, I was unable to reproduce the specific sequence of events that triggered the bug we identified. Consequently, I could not confirm whether the bug still exists in the latest kernel.
