[PATCH] fbcon: Add check for return value

by Ваторопин Андрей

From: Andrey Vatoropin <a.vatoropin(a)crpt.ru> If fbcon_open() fails when called from con2fb_acquire_newinfo() then info->fbcon_par pointer remains NULL which is later dereferenced. Add check for return value of the function con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to avoid it. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

[PATCH] crypto: padlock-sha - Disable broken driver

by Eric Biggers

This driver is known broken, as it computes the wrong SHA-1 and SHA-256 hashes. Correctness needs to be the first priority for cryptographic code. Just disable it, allowing the standard (and actually correct) SHA-1 and SHA-256 implementations to take priority.

[PATCH] nfc: llcp: stop processing on LLCP_CLOSED in nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc()

by Qianchang Zhao

nfc_llcp_sock_get() takes a reference on the LLCP socket via sock_hold(). In nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc(), the LLCP_CLOSED branch releases the socket lock and drops the reference, but the function continues to operate on llcp_sock/sk and later runs release_sock() and nfc_llcp_sock_put() again on the common exit path. Return immediately after the CLOSED cleanup to avoid refcount/lock imbalance and to avoid using the socket after dropping the reference.

[PATCH] nfc: llcp: avoid double release/put on LLCP_CLOSED in nfc_llcp_recv_disc()

by Qianchang Zhao

nfc_llcp_sock_get() takes a reference on the LLCP socket via sock_hold(). In nfc_llcp_recv_disc(), when the socket is already in LLCP_CLOSED state, the code used to perform release_sock() and nfc_llcp_sock_put() in the CLOSED branch but then continued execution and later performed the same cleanup again on the common exit path. This results in refcount imbalance (double put) and unbalanced lock release. Remove the redundant CLOSED-branch cleanup so that release_sock() and nfc_llcp_sock_put() are performed exactly once via the common exit path, while keeping the existing DM_DISC reply behavior.

[PATCH v3] fs/kernfs: null-ptr deref in simple_xattrs_free()

by Will Rosenberg

There exists a null pointer dereference in simple_xattrs_free() as part of the __kernfs_new_node() routine. Within __kernfs_new_node(), err_out4 calls simple_xattr_free(), but kn->iattr may be NULL if __kernfs_setattr() was never called. As a result, the first argument to simple_xattrs_free() may be NULL + 0x38, and no NULL check is done internally, causing an incorrect pointer dereference. Add a check to ensure kn->iattr is not NULL, meaning __kernfs_setattr() has been called and kn->iattr is allocated. Note that struct kernfs_node kn is allocated with kmem_cache_zalloc, so we can assume kn->iattr will be NULL if not allocated. An alternative fix could be to not call simple_xattr_free() at all. As was previously discussed during the initial patch, simple_xattr_free() is not strictly needed and is included to be consistent with kernfs_free_rcu(), which also helps the function maintain correctness if changes are made in __kernfs_new_node().

[PATCH] powerpc/64s/radix/kfence: map __kfence_pool at page granularity

by Aboorva Devarajan

From: Hari Bathini <hbathini(a)linux.ibm.com> When KFENCE is enabled, total system memory is mapped at page level granularity. But in radix MMU mode, ~3GB additional memory is needed to map 100GB of system memory at page level granularity when compared to using 2MB direct mapping.This is not desired considering KFENCE is designed to be enabled in production kernels [1]. Mapping only the memory allocated for KFENCE pool at page granularity is sufficient to enable KFENCE support. So, allocate __kfence_pool during bootup and map it at page granularity instead of mapping all system memory at page granularity. Without patch: # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 101201920 kB With patch: # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 104483904 kB Note that enabling KFENCE at runtime is disabled for radix MMU for now, as it depends on the ability to split page table mappings and such APIs are not currently implemented for radix MMU. All kfence_test.c testcases passed with this patch.

Backport 353d7a84c214f18 ("powerpc/64s/radix/kfence: map __kfence_pool at page granularity") to stable versions 6.1 and 6.6

by Aboorva Devarajan

Hi stable maintainers, Please consider backporting upstream commit 353d7a84c214f184d5a6b62acdec8b4424159b7c ("powerpc/64s/radix/kfence: map __kfence_pool at page granularity") to the stable 6.1 and 6.6 kernels. This should be backported because it restores the intended KFENCE behaviour on powerpc64 radix MMU by limiting page-granular mappings to the KFENCE pool, rather than all system memory. This commit appeared upstream in v6.11-rc1, and fixes an issue introduced by a5edf9815dd7 ("powerpc/64s: Enable KFENCE on book3s64") but it is not backported to stable versions. The patch applies cleanly to both 6.1 and 6.6 stable versions. Thanks, Aboorva
