[PATCH] net: Fix error handling in netdev_register_kobject

by Ma Ke

After calling device_initialize(), the reference count of the device is set to 1. If device_add() fails or register_queue_kobjects() fails, the function returns without calling put_device() to release the initial reference, causing a memory leak of the device structure. Similarly, in netdev_unregister_kobject(), after calling device_del(), there is no call to put_device() to release the initial reference, leading to a memory leak. Add put_device() in the error paths of netdev_register_kobject() and after device_del() in netdev_unregister_kobject() to properly release the device references. Found by code review.

[PATCH] arm64/pageattr: Propagate return value from __change_memory_common

by Dev Jain

Post a166563e7ec3 ("arm64: mm: support large block mapping when rodata=full"), __change_memory_common has a real chance of failing due to split failure. Before that commit, this line was introduced in c55191e96caa, still having a chance of failing if it needs to allocate pagetable memory in apply_to_page_range, although that has never been observed to be true. In general, we should always propagate the return value to the caller.

[PATCH 6.1] softirq: Add trace points for tasklet entry/exit

by Sumanth Gavini

commit f4bf3ca2e5cba655824b6e0893a98dfb33ed24e5 upstream. Tasklets are supposed to finish their work quickly and should not block the current running process, but it is not guaranteed that they do so. Currently softirq_entry/exit can be used to analyse the total tasklets execution time, but that's not helpful to track individual tasklets execution time. That makes it hard to identify tasklet functions, which take more time than expected. Add tasklet_entry/exit trace point support to track individual tasklet execution. Trivial usage example: # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_entry/enable # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_exit/enable # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 4/4 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / _-=> migrate-disable # |||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | ||||| | | <idle>-0 [003] ..s1. 314.011428: tasklet_entry: tasklet=0xffffa01ef8db2740 function=tcp_tasklet_func <idle>-0 [003] ..s1. 314.011432: tasklet_exit: tasklet=0xffffa01ef8db2740 function=tcp_tasklet_func <idle>-0 [003] ..s1. 314.017369: tasklet_entry: tasklet=0xffffa01ef8db2740 function=tcp_tasklet_func <idle>-0 [003] ..s1. 314.017371: tasklet_exit: tasklet=0xffffa01ef8db2740 function=tcp_tasklet_func Signed-off-by: Lingutla Chandrasekhar <clingutla(a)codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: J.

[PATCH stable] notifiers: Add oops check in blocking_notifier_call_chain()

by Yi Yang

In hrtimer_interrupt(), interrupts are disabled when acquiring a spinlock, which subsequently triggers an oops. During the oops call chain, blocking_notifier_call_chain() invokes _cond_resched, ultimately leading to a hard lockup. Call Stack: hrtimer_interrupt//raw_spin_lock_irqsave __hrtimer_run_queues page_fault do_page_fault bad_area_nosemaphore no_context oops_end bust_spinlocks unblank_screen do_unblank_screen fbcon_blank fb_notifier_call_chain blocking_notifier_call_chain down_read _cond_resched If the system is in an oops state, use down_read_trylock instead of a blocking lock acquisition. If the trylock fails, skip executing the notifier callbacks to avoid potential deadlocks or unsafe operations during the oops handling process.

The generic crashkernel reservation adds the crashkernel memory range to /proc/iomem during early initialization. Later, all memblock ranges are added to /proc/iomem as System RAM. If the crashkernel region overlaps with any memblock range, it causes a conflict while adding those memblock regions as iomem resources, triggering the above warning. The conflicting memblock regions are then omitted from /proc/iomem. For example, if the following crashkernel region is added to /proc/iomem: 20000000-11fffffff : Crash kernel then the following memblock regions System RAM regions fail to be inserted: 00000000-7fffffff : System RAM 80000000-257fffffff : System RAM Fix this by not adding the crashkernel memory to /proc/iomem on powerpc. Introduce an architecture hook to let each architecture decide whether to export the crashkernel region to /proc/iomem. For more info checkout commit c40dd2f766440 ("powerpc: Add System RAM to /proc/iomem") and commit bce074bdbc36 ("powerpc: insert System RAM resource to prevent crashkernel conflict") Note: Before switching to the generic crashkernel reservation, powerpc never exported the crashkernel region to /proc/iomem.

[merged mm-nonmm-stable] scs-fix-a-wrong-parameter-in-__scs_magic.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: scs: fix a wrong parameter in __scs_magic has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was scs-fix-a-wrong-parameter-in-__scs_magic.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zhichi Lin <zhichi.lin(a)vivo.com> Subject: scs: fix a wrong parameter in __scs_magic Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 16:22:22 +0800 __scs_magic() needs a 'void *' variable, but a 'struct task_struct *' is given. 'task_scs(tsk)' is the starting address of the task's shadow call stack, and '__scs_magic(task_scs(tsk))' is the end address of the task's shadow call stack. Here should be '__scs_magic(task_scs(tsk))'. The user-visible effect of this bug is that when CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE is enabled, the shadow call stack usage checking function (scs_check_usage) would scan an incorrect memory range. This could lead to: 1. **Inaccurate stack usage reporting**: The function would calculate wrong usage statistics for the shadow call stack, potentially showing incorrect value in kmsg. 2. **Potential kernel crash**: If the value of __scs_magic(tsk)is greater than that of __scs_magic(task_scs(tsk)), the for loop may access unmapped memory, potentially causing a kernel panic. However, this scenario is unlikely because task_struct is allocated via the slab allocator (which typically returns lower addresses), while the shadow call stack returned by task_scs(tsk) is allocated via vmalloc(which typically returns higher addresses). However, since this is purely a debugging feature (CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE), normal production systems should be not unaffected. The bug only impacts developers and testers who are actively debugging stack usage with this configuration enabled.

[PATCH v2] f2fs: invalidate dentry cache on failed whiteout creation

by Deepanshu Kartikey

F2FS can mount filesystems with corrupted directory depth values that get runtime-clamped to MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH. When RENAME_WHITEOUT operations are performed on such directories, f2fs_rename performs directory modifications (updating target entry and deleting source entry) before attempting to add the whiteout entry via f2fs_add_link. If f2fs_add_link fails due to the corrupted directory structure, the function returns an error to VFS, but the partial directory modifications have already been committed to disk. VFS assumes the entire rename operation failed and does not update the dentry cache, leaving stale mappings. In the error path, VFS does not call d_move() to update the dentry cache. This results in new_dentry still pointing to the old inode (new_inode) which has already had its i_nlink decremented to zero. The stale cache causes subsequent operations to incorrectly reference the freed inode. This causes subsequent operations to use cached dentry information that no longer matches the on-disk state. When a second rename targets the same entry, VFS attempts to decrement i_nlink on the stale inode, which may already have i_nlink=0, triggering a WARNING in drop_nlink(). Example sequence: 1. First rename (RENAME_WHITEOUT): file2 → file1 - f2fs updates file1 entry on disk (points to inode 8) - f2fs deletes file2 entry on disk - f2fs_add_link(whiteout) fails (corrupted directory) - Returns error to VFS - VFS does not call d_move() due to error - VFS cache still has: file1 → inode 7 (stale!) - inode 7 has i_nlink=0 (already decremented) 2. Second rename: file3 → file1 - VFS uses stale cache: file1 → inode 7 - Tries to drop_nlink on inode 7 (i_nlink already 0) - WARNING in drop_nlink() Fix this by explicitly invalidating old_dentry and new_dentry when f2fs_add_link fails during whiteout creation. This forces VFS to refresh from disk on subsequent operations, ensuring cache consistency even when the rename partially succeeds. Reproducer: 1. Mount F2FS image with corrupted i_current_depth 2. renameat2(file2, file1, RENAME_WHITEOUT) 3. renameat2(file3, file1, 0) 4.
