crypto: qat - remove unused character device and IOCTLs

2026-07-04T11:42:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit d237230728c567297f2f98b425d63156ab2ed17f ]

The QAT driver exposes a character device (qat_adf_ctl) with IOCTLs
for device configuration, start, stop, status query and enumeration.
These IOCTLs are not part of any public uAPI header and have no known
in-tree or out-of-tree users. Device lifecycle is already managed via
sysfs.

The ioctl interface also increases the attack surface and is the
subject of a number of bug reports.

Remove the character device, the IOCTL definitions, and the related
data structures (adf_dev_status_info, adf_user_cfg_key_val,
adf_user_cfg_section, adf_user_cfg_ctl_data). Drop the now-unused
adf_cfg_user.h header and strip adf_ctl_drv.c down to the minimal
module_init/module_exit hooks for workqueue, AER, and crypto/compression
algorithm registration.

Clean up leftover dead code that was only reachable from the removed
IOCTL paths: adf_cfg_del_all(), adf_devmgr_verify_id(),
adf_devmgr_get_num_dev(), adf_devmgr_get_dev_by_id(),
adf_get_vf_real_id() and the unused ADF_CFG macros.

Additionally, drop the entry associated to QAT IOCTLs in
ioctl-number.rst.

crypto: qat - Return pointer directly in adf_ctl_alloc_resources

crypto: qat - Replace kzalloc() + copy_from_user() with memdup_user()

2026-07-04T11:42:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1e26339703e2afd397037defa798682b2b93dcc0 ]

Replace kzalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify adf_ctl_alloc_resources(). memdup_user() returns
either -ENOMEM or -EFAULT (instead of -EIO) if an error occurs.

Remove the unnecessary device id initialization, since memdup_user()
(like copy_from_user()) immediately overwrites it.

No functional changes intended other than returning the more idiomatic
error code -EFAULT.

drivers/base/memory: set mem->altmap after successful device registration

2026-07-04T11:42:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit a2b8d7827f48ee54a686cb80e4a1d0ff954ec42a ]

If __add_memory_block() fails at xa_store() (under memory pressure for
example), device_unregister() is called, which eventually triggers
memory_block_release() with mem->altmap still set, causing a
WARN_ON(mem->altmap).  This was triggered by modifying virtio-mem driver.

Fix this by delaying the assignment of mem->altmap until after
__add_memory_block() has succeeded.

serial: 8250_dw: unregister 8250 port if clk_notifier_register() fails

2026-07-04T11:42:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 10fc708b4de7f86002d2d735a2dbf3b5b7f65692 ]

dw8250_probe() registers the 8250 port via serial8250_register_8250_port()
and then, if the device has a clock, registers a clock notifier. If
clk_notifier_register() fails, probe returns the error but leaves the
8250 port registered. The matching serial8250_unregister_port() lives
in dw8250_remove(), which is not called when probe fails, so the port
slot stays occupied until the device is rebound or the system is
rebooted. The devm-allocated driver data is freed while the port still
references it (via the saved private_data and serial_in/serial_out
callbacks), so any access to that port slot before a rebind is a
use-after-free hazard.

Unregister the port on the clk_notifier_register() error path.

serial: qcom_geni: Fix RX DMA stall when SE_DMA_RX_LEN_IN is zero

2026-07-04T11:42:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit b93062b6d8a1b2d9bad235cac25558a909819026 ]

In qcom_geni_serial_handle_rx_dma(), geni_se_rx_dma_unprep() clears
port->rx_dma_addr before SE_DMA_RX_LEN_IN is read. If the register is zero,
for example when the RX stale counter fires on an idle line, the handler
returns without calling geni_se_rx_dma_prep().

The next RX DMA interrupt then hits the !port->rx_dma_addr guard and
returns immediately, so the RX DMA buffer is never rearmed and later input
is lost.

Keep the handler on the rearm path when rx_in is zero. Warn about the
unexpected zero-length DMA completion, skip received-data handling, and
always call geni_se_rx_dma_prep().

ksmbd: fix out-of-bounds read in smb_check_perm_dacl()

2026-07-04T11:42:27+00:00

commit 1ef06004ed4bd6d3ed8c840d9d1a376b66d4935b upstream.

The permission-check ACE walk in smb_check_perm_dacl() validates the ACE
header size and caps sid.num_subauth at SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES, but it
never checks that ace->size is actually large enough to contain
num_subauth sub-authorities before compare_sids() dereferences them.

CIFS_SID_BASE_SIZE covers the SID header up to but excluding the
sub_auth[] array, and offsetof(struct smb_ace, sid) is the ACE header,
so the existing guards only guarantee the 8-byte SID base, i.e. zero
sub-authorities. compare_sids() then reads ace->sid.sub_auth[i] for
i < min(local_sid->num_subauth, ace->sid.num_subauth). The local
comparison SIDs (sid_everyone, sid_unix_NFS_mode, and the id_to_sid()
result) always have at least one sub-authority, and an attacker controls
the ACE revision and authority bytes (which lie within the in-bounds SID
base), so they can match one of those SIDs and force the sub_auth read.

A crafted ACE with size == 16 and num_subauth >= 1 placed at the tail of
the security descriptor therefore causes a heap out-of-bounds read of up
to SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES * sizeof(__le32) bytes past the pntsd
allocation. The security descriptor is loaded by ksmbd_vfs_get_sd_xattr()
into a buffer sized exactly to the on-disk data (kzalloc(sd_size) in
ndr_decode_v4_ntacl()), so the read lands past the allocation. The
malformed descriptor can be stored verbatim via SMB2_SET_INFO (the DACL
is not normalised before being written to the security.NTACL xattr) and
the read fires on a subsequent SMB2_CREATE access check, making this
reachable by an authenticated client on a share that uses ACL xattrs.

Add the missing num_subauth-versus-ace_size check, mirroring the
identical guards already present in the sibling parsers parse_dacl() and
smb_inherit_dacl().
