commit e5248a7426030db1e126363f72afdb3b71339a5c upstream.

Threads parked in svc_rdma_sq_wait() on sc_sq_ticket_wait or
sc_send_wait can hang indefinitely in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
across transport teardown, pinning svc_xprt references and
blocking svc_rdma_free().

The close path sets XPT_CLOSE before invoking xpo_detach and both
wait_event predicates include an XPT_CLOSE term, but the
predicates are re-evaluated only on wakeup. sc_sq_ticket_wait has
no completion-driven wake path; it is advanced solely by the
chained ticket handoff inside svc_rdma_sq_wait() itself. Without
an explicit wake at close, parked threads never observe
XPT_CLOSE, hold their svc_xprt_get reference forever, and
svc_rdma_free() blocks on xpt_ref dropping to zero.

Two close entry points reach this transport. Local teardown runs
svc_rdma_detach() from svc_handle_xprt() -&gt; svc_delete_xprt() -&gt;
xpo_detach() on a worker thread. A remote disconnect arrives at
svc_rdma_cma_handler(), which calls svc_xprt_deferred_close():
that sets XPT_CLOSE and enqueues the transport but does not
access either RDMA waitqueue, so a worker already parked in
svc_rdma_sq_wait() never re-evaluates its predicate. With every
worker parked on this transport, no thread is available to run
the local teardown either, and the wake site there is
unreachable.

Introduce svc_rdma_xprt_deferred_close(), a thin svcrdma wrapper
that calls svc_xprt_deferred_close() and then wakes both
sc_sq_ticket_wait and sc_send_wait. Convert the svcrdma producers
that called svc_xprt_deferred_close() directly:
svc_rdma_cma_handler(), qp_event_handler(),
svc_rdma_post_send_err(), svc_rdma_wc_send(), the sendto drop
path, the rw completion error paths, and the recvfrom flush and
read-list error paths.

Wake both waitqueues from svc_rdma_detach() as well. The
synchronous svc_xprt_close() path (backchannel ENOTCONN, device
removal via svc_rdma_xprt_done) reaches detach without flowing
through svc_xprt_deferred_close() and therefore does not invoke
the new helper.

commit f13e900599089b10113ceb36013423f0837c6792 upstream.

When populating a guest_memfd instance with the initial CPUID data for an
SNP guest, acquire a writable pin on the source page as KVM will write back
the "correct" CPUID information if the userspace provided data is rejected
by trusted firmware.  Because KVM writes to the source page using a kernel
mapping, pinning for read could result in KVM clobbering read-only memory.

Note, well-behaved VMMs are unlikely to be affected, as CPUID information
is almost always dynamically generated by userspace, i.e. it's unlikely for
the CPUID information to be backed by a read-only mapping.

<title>bpf: Reject BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE creation if BPF LSM is uninitialized</title>

commit a6f0643e4f63cfaa0d5d4a69de4f132eac4b8fe4 upstream.

When CONFIG_BPF_LSM=y is set, BPF inode storage maps
(BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE) are compiled into the kernel. However,
if the BPF LSM is not explicitly enabled at boot time (e.g. omitted
from the "lsm=" boot parameter), lsm_prepare() is never executed for
the BPF LSM.

Consequently, the BPF inode security blob offset
(bpf_lsm_blob_sizes.lbs_inode) is never initialized and remains at
its default compiled size of 8 bytes instead of being updated to a
valid offset past the reserved struct rcu_head (typically 16 bytes
or more).

When a privileged user creates and updates a BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE
map, bpf_inode() evaluates inode-&gt;i_security + 8. This erroneously
aliases the struct rcu_head.func callback pointer at the beginning
of the inode-&gt;i_security blob. During subsequent map element cleanup
or inode destruction, writing NULL to owner_storage clears the queued
RCU callback pointer. When rcu_do_batch() later executes the queued
callback, it attempts an instruction fetch at address 0x0, triggering
an immediate kernel panic.

Fix this by introducing a global bpf_lsm_initialized boolean flag
marked with __ro_after_init. Set this flag to true inside bpf_lsm_init()
when the LSM framework successfully registers the BPF LSM. Gate map
allocation in inode_storage_map_alloc() on this flag, returning
-EOPNOTSUPP if the BPF LSM is in turn uninitialized.

This fail-fast approach prevents userspace from allocating inode
storage maps when the supporting BPF LSM infrastructure is absent,
avoiding zombie map states.

<title>mm: do file ownership checks with the proper mount idmap</title>

commit e187bc02f8fa4226d62814592cf064ee4557c470 upstream.

Ever since idmapped mounts were introduced, inode ownership checks (for
side-channel protection) in mincore() and madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) were done
against the nop_mnt_idmap, which completely ignores the file's mount's
idmap.  This results in odd edgecases like:

1) mount/bind-mount with an idmap userA:userB:1
2) userB runs an owner_or_capable() check on file that is owned by userA
on-disk/in-memory, but owned by userB after idmap translation
3) owner_or_capable() mysteriously fails as the correct idmap wasn't supplied

In the case of mincore/madvise MADV_PAGEOUT, this is usually benign,
because file_permission(file, MAY_WRITE) will probably succeed, as it uses
the proper idmap internally, but it does not need to be the case on e.g a
0444 file where even the owner itself doesn't have permissions to write to
it.

Since this is clearly not trivial to get right, introduce a
file_owner_or_capable() that can carry the correct semantics, and switch
the various users in mm to it.

The issue was found by manual code inspection &amp; an off-list discussion
with Jan Kara.

commit ffd017237cfe99e6e5602ab14179b0e6878a0840 upstream.

The page_ext iteration API does not validate if the PFN still belongs to a
valid section while advancing the iterator.  When dynamically adding
memory in the hotplug path, it can lead to a NULL pointer dereference
during page_ext_lookup at the boundary of the last valid section when
iterator count equals __pgcount.

The for_each_page_ext() macro calls page_ext_iter_next() as its loop
increment.  for_each_page_ext() does a "__page_ext =
page_ext_iter_next(&amp;__iter)" at the end.  This causes page_ext_iter_next()
to increment iter-&gt;index past __pgcount and call page_ext_lookup(start_pfn
+ __pgcount).  During memory hotplug (online), the PFN at start_pfn +
__pgcount may belong to a section that has not yet been initialized,
causing page_ext_lookup() to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

Move the iteration boundary enforcement inside the iterator functions, so

increment.  for_each_page_ext() does a "__page_ext =
page_ext_iter_next(&amp;__iter)" at the end.  This causes page_ext_iter_next()
to increment iter-&gt;index past __pgcount and call page_ext_lookup(start_pfn
+ __pgcount).  During memory hotplug (online), the PFN at start_pfn +
__pgcount may belong to a section that has not yet been initialized,
causing page_ext_lookup() to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

Move the iteration boundary enforcement inside the iterator functions, so
callers cannot inadvertently access beyond the requested range.

<title>tracing: Prevent out-of-bounds read in glob matching</title>

commit 0a6070839b1ef276d5b05bedfb787743e140fb17 upstream.

String event fields are not necessarily NUL-terminated, so the filter
predicate functions (filter_pred_string(), filter_pred_strloc() and
filter_pred_strrelloc()) pass the field length to the regex match
callbacks, and the length-aware matchers honour it.

regex_match_glob() was the exception: it ignored the length and called
glob_match(), which scans the string until it hits a NUL byte. Some
string fields are not NUL-terminated. One example is the dynamic char
array of the xfs_* namespace tracepoints, which is copied without a
trailing NUL. For such a field, glob matching reads past the end of
the event field, causing a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in
glob_match(), reached via regex_match_glob() and filter_match_preds()
from the xfs_lookup tracepoint.

Add a length-bounded glob_match_len() and use it from regex_match_glob()
so glob matching always stops at the field boundary. The matching loop
is factored into a shared helper so glob_match() keeps its behaviour.

<title>HID: sensor-hub: Add sensor_hub_input_attr_read_values() for multi-byte reads</title>

commit f784fcea450617055d2d12eec5b2f6e0e38bf878 upstream.

sensor_hub_input_attr_get_raw_value() is limited to returning a single
32-bit value, which is insufficient for sensors that report data larger
than 32 bits, such as a quaternion with four s16 elements.

Add sensor_hub_input_attr_read_values() that accepts a caller-provided
buffer and accumulates incoming data until the buffer is full. The two
paths are distinguished in sensor_hub_raw_event() by pending.max_raw_size
being non-zero, preserving backward compatibility.

<title>mm/damon/ops-common: handle extreme intervals in damon_hot_score()</title>

<id>76e415ea88d20f022ed5cfcf78c50e156a267e91</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 35d4a3cf70a855b50e53189ac2f8463e20a02046 upstream.

Fix three issues in damon_hot_score() that comes from wrong handling of
extreme (zero or too high) monitoring intervals user setup.

When the user sets sampling interval zero, damon_max_nr_accesses(), which
is called from damon_hot_score(), causes a divide-by-zero.  Needless to
say, it is a problem.

When the user sets the aggregation interval zero, the function returns
zero.  It is wrong, since the real maximum nr_acceses in the setup should
be one.  Worse yet, it can cause another divide-by-zero from its caller,
damon_hot_score(), since it uses damon_max_nr_accesses() return value as a
denominator.

When the user sets the aggregation interval very high, damon_hot_score()
could return a value out of [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] range.  Since the return
value is used as an index to the regions_score_histogram array, which is
DAMOS_MAX_SCORE+1 size, it causes out of bounds array access.

The issues can be relatively easily reproduced like below.  The sysfs
write permission is required, though.

    # ./damo start --damos_action lru_prio --damos_quota_space 100M \
            --damos_quota_interval 1s
    # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0
    # echo 0 &gt; contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/sample_us
    # echo 0 &gt; contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/aggr_us

    [...]
    [  131.336089] RIP: 0010:damon_hot_score+0x27/0xd0
    [...]

Fix the divide-by-zero intervals problems by explicitly handling the zero
intervals in damon_max_nr_accesses().  Fix the out-of-bound array access
by applying [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] bounds before returning from
damon_hot_score().

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

commit e73638e55f861758d49f14d7bb5dba3035981cd7 upstream.

Bitfield operations are not atomic, they use a read-modify-write
pattern, therefore we should be careful not to pack bitfields that
can be concurrently updated into the same storage unit.

This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified
pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user
action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex.
reset) use dedicated storage units.

Note that the virq_disabled and bardirty flags are relocated to fill
an existing hole in the structure.

Bitfield justifications:

  has_dyn_msix: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
  pci_2_3: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
  reset_works: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
  extended_caps: written only in vfio_cap_len() under vfio_config_init()
  has_vga: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
  nointx: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable()
  needs_pm_restore: written only in vfio_pci_probe_power_state()
  disable_idle_d3: written only at .init in vfio_pci_core_init_dev()

Dedicated storage units:

  virq_disabled: written by guest INTx command writes in
                 vfio_basic_config_write() while the device is open
  bardirty: written by guest BAR writes in vfio_basic_config_write()
            while the device is open
  pm_intx_masked: written in the runtime-PM suspend path.
  pm_runtime_engaged: written by low-power feature entry/exit paths
  needs_reset: set in vfio_pci_core_disable() and cleared for devices in
               the set by vfio_pci_dev_set_try_reset()
  sriov_active: written by vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure() via sysfs
                sriov_numvfs while bound.

When disable_idle_d3 was introduced in vfio-pci, it directly manipulated
the device power state with pci_set_power_state().  There were no
refcounts to maintain or balanced operations, we could unconditionally
bring the device to D0 and conditionally move it to D3hot.  Therefore
the module parameter was made writable.

Later, in commit c61302aa48f7 ("vfio/pci: Move module parameters to
vfio_pci.c"), as part of the vfio-pci-core split, the writable aspect
of the module parameter was nullified.  The parameter value could still
be changed through sysfs, but the vfio-pci driver latched the values
into vfio-pci-core globals at module init.  Loading the vfio-pci module,
or unloading and reloading, with non-default or different values could
change the globals relative to existing devices bound to vfio-pci
variant drivers.

Runtime PM was introduced in commit 7ab5e10eda02 ("vfio/pci: Move the
unused device into low power state with runtime PM"), which marks the
point where power states became refcounted.  PM get and put operations
need to be balanced, but the same module operations noted above can
change the global variables relative to those devices already bound to
vfio-pci variant drivers.  This introduces a window where PM operations
can now become unbalanced.

To resolve this with a narrow footprint for stable backports, the
disable_idle_d3 flag is latched into the vfio_pci_core_device at the
time of initialization, such that the device always operates with a
consistent value.

NB. vfio_pci_dev_set_try_reset() now unconditionally raises the
runtime PM usage count around bus reset to account for disable_idle_d3
becoming a per-device rather than global flag.  When this flag is set,
the additional get/put pair is harmless and allows continued use of the
shared vfio_pci_dev_set_pm_runtime_get() helper.
