In etm_setup_aux(), when a user sink is obtained via
coresight_get_sink_by_id(), it increments the reference count of the
sink device. However, if the sink is used in path building, the path
holds a reference, but the initial reference from
coresight_get_sink_by_id() is not released, causing a reference count
leak. We should release the initial reference after the path is built.
Found by code review.

2.17.1
The driver_override_show function reads the driver_override string
without holding the device_lock. However, the store function modifies
and frees the string while holding the device_lock. This creates a race
condition where the string can be freed by the store function while
being read by the show function, leading to a use-after-free.
To fix this, replace the rpmsg_string_attr macro with explicit show and
store functions. The new driver_override_store uses the standard
driver_set_override helper. Since the introduction of
driver_set_override, the comments in include/linux/rpmsg.h have stated
that this helper must be used to set or clear driver_override, but the
implementation was not updated until now.
Because driver_set_override modifies and frees the string while holding
the device_lock, the new driver_override_show now correctly holds the
device_lock during the read operation to prevent the race.
Additionally, since rpmsg_string_attr has only ever been used for
driver_override, removing the macro simplifies the code.

I verified this with a stress test that continuously writes/reads the
attribute. It triggered KASAN and leaked bytes like a0 f4 81 9f a3 ff ff
(likely kernel pointers). Since driver_override is world-readable (0644),
this allows unprivileged users to leak kernel pointers and bypass KASLR.
Similar races were fixed in other buses (e.g., commits 9561475db680 and
91d44c1afc61). Currently, 9 of 11 buses handle this correctly; this patch
fixes one of the remaining two.

You should also backport this patch(*):
96b010536ee0 efi/cper: align ARM CPER type with UEFI 2.9A/2.10 specs
It fixes a bug at the UEFI parser for the ARM Processor Error record:
basically, the specs were not clear about how the error type should be
reported. The Kernel implementation were assuming that this was an
enum, but UEFI errata 2.9A make it clear that the value is a bitmap.
So, basically, all kernels up to 6.18 are not parsing the field the
expected way: only "Cache error" was properly reported. The other
3 types were wrong.
(*) You could need to backport those patches as well:
a976d790f494 efi/cper: Add a new helper function to print bitmasks
8ad2c72e21ef efi/cper: Adjust infopfx size to accept an extra space

Sasha,
This is a fix for a new feature that was queued for and is now added to 6.19. So
backporting this to stable and LTS kernels is not advisable.

Sasha,
Zone write locking in the mq-deadline scheduler was replaced with the generic
zone write plugging in the block layer in 6.10. That was not backported as that
is a new feature. So removing zone write locking in 6.6 will break support for
SMR drives and other zoned block devices. Removing it from 6.6 is thus not OK.
Please undo this.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
## Commit Analysis: ALSA: hda/realtek: Add support for ASUS UM3406GA
### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS
The commit message is straightforward: it adds support for a specific
ASUS laptop model (UM3406GA) that uses 2 CS35L41 amplifiers connected
via I2C with external boost. The message describes the hardware
configuration, which is standard for such device ID additions.
No Fixes: or Cc: stable tags are present, but as noted, this is expected
for commits requiring manual review.
### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS
The entire change is a single line addition:
```c
SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x1043, 0x1584, "ASUS UM3406GA ",
ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2),
```
This adds:
- Vendor ID: 0x1043 (ASUS)
- Device/Subsystem ID: 0x1584 (ASUS UM3406GA)
- Fixup: `ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2` (an **existing** fixup already
used by many other ASUS models)
Looking at the surrounding code, multiple other ASUS laptops use the
same fixup:
- ASUS PM3406CKA (0x1454)
- ASUS G513PI/PU/PV (0x14e3)
- ASUS G733PY/PZ/PZV/PYV (0x1503)
- ASUS GV302XA/XJ/XQ/XU/XV/XI (0x1533)
- ASUS UM3402YAR (0x1683)
### 3. CLASSIFICATION
This is a **NEW DEVICE ID** addition - explicitly listed as an exception
that IS appropriate for stable backporting. The driver infrastructure
and fixup code already exist; this merely adds an ID to enable the
existing fix for new hardware.
### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT
- **Lines changed**: 1 line
- **Files touched**: 1 file
- **Complexity**: Zero - table entry addition only
- **Risk**: Extremely low - this cannot affect any other hardware
- **No new code paths**: Uses pre-existing `ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2`
fixup
### 5. USER IMPACT
- **Who is affected**: Owners of ASUS UM3406GA laptops
- **Problem without fix**: Audio (specifically the CS35L41 amplifiers)
won't function properly
- **Severity**: Non-working audio is a significant user-facing issue for
laptop users
### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS
- Signed-off by Takashi Iwai (ALSA maintainer at SUSE)
- Standard quirk addition pattern used extensively throughout this file
- Follows exact same format as dozens of other ASUS quirk entries
### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK
- The fixup `ALC287_FIXUP_CS35L41_I2C_2` has been in the kernel for some
time, supporting multiple other ASUS models
- No other commits are required for this to work
- This should apply cleanly to stable trees that have the CS35L41
support infrastructure
### CONCLUSION
This commit is a textbook example of what should be backported to stable
trees:
1. **Falls under explicit exception**: Adding device IDs to existing
drivers is explicitly allowed
2. **Minimal change**: Single line, single table entry
3. **Zero regression risk**: Cannot affect any hardware except the
targeted laptop
4. **Uses existing infrastructure**: The fixup is already well-tested on
similar ASUS models
5. **Fixes real user problem**: Enables audio on a production laptop
6. **Obviously correct**: Identical pattern to surrounding entries
The risk-benefit analysis strongly favors backporting: virtually zero
risk with clear user benefit (working audio on a specific laptop model).
**YES**

2.51.0
From: ChenXiaoSong <chenxiaosong(a)kylinos.cn>
[ Upstream commit a1237c203f1757480dc2f3b930608ee00072d3cc ]
This was reported by the KUnit tests in the later patches.
See MS-ERREF 2.3.1 STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED. Keep it consistent with the
value in the documentation.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
## Analysis of Commit: smb/client: fix NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED value
### 1. COMMIT MESSAGE ANALYSIS
- Subject clearly states "fix" indicating a bug fix
- References MS-ERREF 2.3.1 (Microsoft's official NTSTATUS
documentation) as the authoritative source
- Bug was discovered through KUnit tests
- Has Acked-by from Paulo Alcantara (Red Hat SMB maintainer) and Signed-
off-by from Steve French (primary SMB/CIFS maintainer)
### 2. CODE CHANGE ANALYSIS
The change is a single-line fix in a header file:
```c
-#define NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED 0x8000001c
+#define NT_STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED 0x80000022
```
**Critical bug identified**: The OLD value `0x8000001c` was
**duplicated** with another constant defined just a few lines above:
```c
#define NT_STATUS_MEDIA_CHANGED 0x8000001c
```
This is clearly a bug - two distinct Windows NT error status codes were
sharing the same numeric value. This would cause:
- Incorrect error code interpretation when servers return
STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED (0x80000022)
- Potential confusion between STATUS_MEDIA_CHANGED and
STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED
The new value `0x80000022` matches the official Microsoft MS-ERREF
specification for STATUS_NO_DATA_DETECTED.
### 3. CLASSIFICATION
- **Bug fix**: Yes - corrects a provably incorrect constant value
- **Feature addition**: No
- **New API**: No
- **Specification compliance fix**: Aligns with official Microsoft
documentation
### 4. SCOPE AND RISK ASSESSMENT
- **Size**: 1 line changed
- **Files**: 1 header file
- **Risk**: Extremely low - simply correcting a wrong numeric constant
- **Subsystem**: SMB client (commonly used for network file sharing)
This is about as low-risk as a fix can get - it's correcting a single
constant value to match official documentation. The previous value was
demonstrably wrong (duplicate of another constant).
### 5. USER IMPACT
SMB is widely used for file sharing across networks. Having correct
error status codes is important for proper error handling. While the
practical impact depends on how this constant is used, having correct
protocol constants is essential for interoperability.
### 6. STABILITY INDICATORS
- Acked by Red Hat's SMB maintainer
- Signed off by the primary CIFS/SMB maintainer (Steve French)
- KUnit tests caught this issue, indicating testing coverage
### 7. DEPENDENCY CHECK
- No dependencies on other commits
- Standalone fix to a header constant
- SMB client code exists in stable trees
### Summary
**Meets stable criteria:**
- ✅ Obviously correct (matches official MS-ERREF documentation)
- ✅ Fixes a real bug (duplicate constant value)
- ✅ Extremely small and contained (single line change)
- ✅ No new features or APIs
- ✅ Low risk (just correcting a constant value)
**Risk vs Benefit:**
- Risk: Minimal - changing a constant to its documented correct value
- Benefit: Correct SMB error handling, protocol compliance
This is a textbook example of a safe stable backport candidate: an
obviously wrong value is corrected to match official documentation, the
change is tiny, and there's no possibility of regression since the old
value was demonstrably incorrect (it was a duplicate of
NT_STATUS_MEDIA_CHANGED).
**YES**

2.51.0
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
