[ Upstream commit 1e440d5b25b7efccb3defe542a73c51005799a5f ]

krb_authenticate frees sess-&gt;user and does not set the pointer
to NULL. It calls ksmbd_krb5_authenticate to reinitialise
sess-&gt;user but that function may return without doing so. If
that happens then smb2_sess_setup, which calls krb_authenticate,
will be accessing free'd memory when it later uses sess-&gt;user.

<title>ksmbd: Fix refcount leak when invalid session is found on session lookup</title>

[ Upstream commit cafb57f7bdd57abba87725eb4e82bbdca4959644 ]

When a session is found but its state is not SMB2_SESSION_VALID, It
indicates that no valid session was found, but it is missing to decrement
the reference count acquired by the session lookup, which results in
a reference count leak. This patch fixes the issue by explicitly calling
ksmbd_user_session_put to release the reference to the session.

After this commit (e2b76ab8b5c9 "ksmbd: add support for read compound"),
response buffer management was changed to use dynamic iov array.
In the new design, smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len() expects the second
argument (hdr2_len) to be the offset of -&gt;Buffer field in the
response structure, not a hardcoded magic number.
Fix the remaining call sites to use the correct offsetof() value.

<title>ksmbd: fix potencial OOB in get_file_all_info() for compound requests</title>

[ Upstream commit beef2634f81f1c086208191f7228bce1d366493d ]

When a compound request consists of QUERY_DIRECTORY + QUERY_INFO
(FILE_ALL_INFORMATION) and the first command consumes nearly the entire
max_trans_size, get_file_all_info() would blindly call smbConvertToUTF16()
with PATH_MAX, causing out-of-bounds write beyond the response buffer.
In get_file_all_info(), there was a missing validation check for
the client-provided OutputBufferLength before copying the filename into
FileName field of the smb2_file_all_info structure.
If the filename length exceeds the available buffer space, it could lead to
potential buffer overflows or memory corruption during smbConvertToUTF16
conversion. This calculating the actual free buffer size using
smb2_calc_max_out_buf_len() and returning -EINVAL if the buffer is
insufficient and updating smbConvertToUTF16 to use the actual filename
length (clamped by PATH_MAX) to ensure a safe copy operation.

<title>xfs: save ailp before dropping the AIL lock in push callbacks</title>

[ Upstream commit 394d70b86fae9fe865e7e6d9540b7696f73aa9b6 ]

In xfs_inode_item_push() and xfs_qm_dquot_logitem_push(), the AIL lock
is dropped to perform buffer IO. Once the cluster buffer no longer
protects the log item from reclaim, the log item may be freed by
background reclaim or the dquot shrinker. The subsequent spin_lock()
call dereferences lip-&gt;li_ailp, which is a use-after-free.

Fix this by saving the ailp pointer in a local variable while the AIL
lock is held and the log item is guaranteed to be valid.

[ Upstream commit d15e4b0a418537aafa56b2cb80d44add83e83697 ]

Commit b98535d09179 ("ext4: fix bug_on in start_this_handle during umount
filesystem") moved ext4_unregister_sysfs() before flushing s_sb_upd_work
to prevent new error work from being queued via /proc/fs/ext4/xx/mb_groups
reads during unmount. However, this introduced a use-after-free because
update_super_work calls ext4_notify_error_sysfs() -&gt; sysfs_notify() which
accesses the kobject's kernfs_node after it has been freed by kobject_del()
in ext4_unregister_sysfs():

  update_super_work                ext4_put_super
  -----------------                --------------
                                   ext4_unregister_sysfs(sb)
                                     kobject_del(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_kobj)
                                       __kobject_del()
                                         sysfs_remove_dir()
                                           kobj-&gt;sd = NULL
                                         sysfs_put(sd)
                                           kernfs_put()  // RCU free
  ext4_notify_error_sysfs(sbi)
    sysfs_notify(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_kobj)
      kn = kobj-&gt;sd              // stale pointer
      kernfs_get(kn)             // UAF on freed kernfs_node
                                   ext4_journal_destroy()
                                     flush_work(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_sb_upd_work)

Instead of reordering the teardown sequence, fix this by making
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() detect that sysfs has already been torn down
by checking s_kobj.state_in_sysfs, and skipping the sysfs_notify() call
in that case. A dedicated mutex (s_error_notify_mutex) serializes
ext4_notify_error_sysfs() against kobject_del() in ext4_unregister_sysfs()
to prevent TOCTOU races where the kobject could be deleted between the
state_in_sysfs check and the sysfs_notify() call.

[ Upstream commit 496bb99b7e66f48b178126626f47e9ba79e2d0fa ]

Use the kvfree() in the RCU read critical section can trigger
the following warnings:

EXT4-fs (vdb): unmounting filesystem cd983e5b-3c83-4f5a-a136-17b00eb9d018.

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

./include/linux/rcupdate.h:409 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1

The above scenarios occur in initialization failures and teardown

use rcu_access_pointer() instead of rcu_dereference() operations.

<title>ext4: publish jinode after initialization</title>

[ Upstream commit 1aec30021edd410b986c156f195f3d23959a9d11 ]

ext4_inode_attach_jinode() publishes ei-&gt;jinode to concurrent users.
It used to set ei-&gt;jinode before jbd2_journal_init_jbd_inode(),
allowing a reader to observe a non-NULL jinode with i_vfs_inode
still unset.

The fast commit flush path can then pass this jinode to
jbd2_wait_inode_data(), which dereferences i_vfs_inode-&gt;i_mapping and
may crash.

Below is the crash I observe:

Fix this by initializing the jbd2_inode first.
Use smp_wmb() and WRITE_ONCE() to publish ei-&gt;jinode after
initialization. Readers use READ_ONCE() to fetch the pointer.

[ Upstream commit c2b77f42205ef485a647f62082c442c1cd69d3fc ]

Fix three refcount inconsistency issues related to `cifs_sb_tlink`.

Comments for `cifs_sb_tlink` state that `cifs_put_tlink()` needs to be
called after successful calls to `cifs_sb_tlink()`. Three calls fail to
update refcount accordingly, leading to possible resource leaks.

[ Upstream commit c2b77f42205ef485a647f62082c442c1cd69d3fc ]

Fix three refcount inconsistency issues related to `cifs_sb_tlink`.

Comments for `cifs_sb_tlink` state that `cifs_put_tlink()` needs to be
called after successful calls to `cifs_sb_tlink()`. Three calls fail to
update refcount accordingly, leading to possible resource leaks.

Fixes: 8ceb98437946 ("CIFS: Move rename to ops struct")
Fixes: 2f1afe25997f ("cifs: Use smb 2 - 3 and cifsacl mount options getacl functions")
Fixes: 366ed846df60 ("cifs: Use smb 2 - 3 and cifsacl mount options setacl function")

[ Upstream commit b17b79ff896305fd74980a5f72afec370ee88ca4 ]

[BUG]
When recovering relocation at mount time, merge_reloc_root() and
btrfs_drop_snapshot() both use BUG_ON(level == 0) to guard against
an impossible state: a non-zero drop_progress combined with a zero
drop_level in a root_item, which can be triggered:

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

The bug is reproducible on 7.0.0-rc2-next-20260310 with our dynamic
metadata fuzzing tool that corrupts btrfs metadata at runtime.

[CAUSE]
A non-zero drop_progress.objectid means an interrupted
btrfs_drop_snapshot() left a resume point on disk, and in that case
drop_level must be greater than 0 because the checkpoint is only
saved at internal node levels.

Although this invariant is enforced when the kernel writes the root
item, it is not validated when the root item is read back from disk.
That allows on-disk corruption to provide an invalid state with
drop_progress.objectid != 0 and drop_level == 0.

When relocation recovery later processes such a root item,
merge_reloc_root() reads drop_level and hits BUG_ON(level == 0). The
same invalid metadata can also trigger the corresponding BUG_ON() in
btrfs_drop_snapshot().

[FIX]
Fix this by validating the root_item invariant in tree-checker when
reading root items from disk: if drop_progress.objectid is non-zero,
drop_level must also be non-zero. Reject such malformed metadata with
-EUCLEAN before it reaches merge_reloc_root() or btrfs_drop_snapshot()
and triggers the BUG_ON.

After the fix, the same corruption is correctly rejected by tree-checker
and the BUG_ON is no longer triggered.
