<content type='text'>
When the device is removed all allocated resources should be freed.
In uhdlc_memclean the netdev transmit queue was already stopped. But at
this point we may have pending skb in the transmit queue which must be
freed. Therefore iterate over the tx_skbuff pointers and free all
pending skb. The issue was discovered by sashiko.
Tested on a ls1043a board running HDLC in bus mode on kernel 6.12.

If the driver is used in a non tdm mode priv-&gt;utdm is a NULL pointer.
Therefore we need to check this pointer first before checking si_regs.

Unmapping of uf_regs is done from ucc_fast_free and doesn't need to be
done explicitly. If already unmapped ucc_fast_free will crash.

lapbeth_data_transmit() expects the underlying device type
to be ARPHRD_ETHER.

Returning NOTIFY_BAD from lapbeth_device_event() makes sure
bonding driver can not break this expectation.

<id>bae8a5d2e759da2e0cba33ab2080deee96a09373</id>
<content type='text'>
When the FarSync T-series card is being detached, the fst_card_info is
deallocated in fst_remove_one(). However, the fst_tx_task or fst_int_task
may still be running or pending, leading to use-after-free bugs when the
already freed fst_card_info is accessed in fst_process_tx_work_q() or
fst_process_int_work_q().

A typical race condition is depicted below:

CPU 0 (cleanup)           | CPU 1 (tasklet)
                          | fst_start_xmit()
fst_remove_one()          |   tasklet_schedule()
  unregister_hdlc_device()|
                          | fst_process_tx_work_q() //handler
  kfree(card) //free      |   do_bottom_half_tx()
                          |     card-&gt; //use

The following KASAN trace was captured:

Fix this by ensuring that both fst_tx_task and fst_int_task are properly
canceled before the fst_card_info is released. Add tasklet_kill() in
fst_remove_one() to synchronize with any pending or running tasklets.
Since unregister_hdlc_device() stops data transmission and reception,
and fst_disable_intr() prevents further interrupts, it is appropriate
to place tasklet_kill() after these calls.

The bugs were identified through static analysis. To reproduce the issue
and validate the fix, a FarSync T-series card was simulated in QEMU and
delays(e.g., mdelay()) were introduced within the tasklet handler to
increase the likelihood of triggering the race condition.

When the FarSync T-series card is being detached, the fst_card_info is
deallocated in fst_remove_one(). However, the fst_tx_task or fst_int_task
may still be running or pending, leading to use-after-free bugs when the
already freed fst_card_info is accessed in fst_process_tx_work_q() or
fst_process_int_work_q().

A typical race condition is depicted below:

CPU 0 (cleanup)           | CPU 1 (tasklet)
                          | fst_start_xmit()
fst_remove_one()          |   tasklet_schedule()
  unregister_hdlc_device()|
                          | fst_process_tx_work_q() //handler
  kfree(card) //free      |   do_bottom_half_tx()
                          |     card-&gt; //use

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<title>Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.
