commit 50efc63d1a7a7b9a6ed21adae1b9a7123ec8abc0 upstream.

hci_conn_hash_lookup_cis shall always match the requested CIG and CIS
ids even when they are unset as otherwise it result in not being able
to bind/connect different sockets to the same address as that would
result in having multiple sockets mapping to the same hci_conn which
doesn't really work and prevents BAP audio configuration such as
AC 6(i) when CIG and CIS are left unset.

<title>usb: gadget: f_tcm: keep port count until LUN teardown completes</title>

commit c39d0916da47d94909391876c9e5bd429ea7b1b9 upstream.

tcm_usbg_drop_nexus() permits session removal once tpg_port_count
reaches zero. However, usbg_port_unlink() currently decrements that
count from the fabric_pre_unlink() callback, before core_dev_del_lun()
waits for active se_lun references to drain.

If removal of the last LUN races a nexus removal, the latter can observe
a zero port count and call target_remove_session(). This frees
sess_cmd_map while an in-flight struct usbg_cmd, including its work item,
can still be accessed.

Overlapping the last-LUN unlink with nexus removal reproduces this
lifetime violation as a DEBUG_OBJECTS "free active" warning for
usbg_cmd_work, followed by a target-core BUG/Oops.

The generic target-core unlink path has no callback after
core_dev_del_lun() completes. Add an optional fabric_post_unlink()
callback and use it for the f_tcm port count. The count now remains
nonzero until core_dev_del_lun() has finished draining active LUN
references, preventing nexus removal from freeing the session during
command completion.

<title>ipv4: igmp: Fix potential UAF in igmp_gq_start_timer()</title>

commit 7b19c0f81ed1fdaec6bc522569be367199a9edf3 upstream.

A race condition exists between device teardown (inetdev_destroy) and
incoming IGMP query processing (igmp_rcv), leading to a Use-After-Free
in the IGMP timer callback.

During device destruction, inetdev_destroy() drops the primary reference
to in_device, which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of
in_device memory is deferred via RCU (using call_rcu()).

Concurrently, igmp_rcv() runs under RCU read lock and obtains the
in_device pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can safely
dereference in_device even if its refcount has hit 0.

However, if CPU-0 calls igmp_gq_start_timer() and re-arms the timer, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the in_device memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period (as the free callback does not check the refcount again),
the device is freed while the timer is still armed. When the timer
expires, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.

Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not arm the timer.

A similar issue in IPv6 MLD is fixed in a subsequent patch.

[ Upstream commit 71e9588435c38112d6a8686d3d8e7cc1de8fe22c ]

The order of CIS handle array in Set CIG Parameters response shall match
the order of the CIS_ID array in the command (Core v5.3 Vol 4 Part E Sec
7.8.97).  We send CIS_IDs mainly in the order of increasing CIS_ID (but
with "last" CIS first if it has fixed CIG_ID).  In handling of the
reply, we currently assume this is also the same as the order of
hci_conn in hdev-&gt;conn_hash, but that is not true.

Match the correct hci_conn to the correct handle by matching them based
on the CIG+CIS combination.  The CIG+CIS combination shall be unique for
ISO_LINK hci_conn at state &gt;= BT_BOUND, which we maintain in
hci_le_set_cig_params.

<title>packet: use consistent hard_header_len in non-ring send paths</title>

[ Upstream commit 03390aa32e669cc4ecd7d34108e2e1afc13d689d ]

packet_snd() reads dev-&gt;hard_header_len multiple times while allocating
and constructing an skb. Device reconfiguration can change this value
concurrently, for example through bonding device type changes.

For SOCK_RAW, packet_snd() can save a larger value in reserve and later
allocate headroom using a smaller value. Moving skb-&gt;data back by reserve
then places it before skb-&gt;head, and the following copy from userspace can
attempt an out-of-bounds write.

packet_sendmsg_spkt() has the same issue because it calculates its
reservation and header offset from separate reads before dropping the RCU
read lock to allocate the skb.

Add LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EX() for callers that already saved a header length.
Read hard_header_len once in packet_snd() and use it for allocation and
construction. In packet_sendmsg_spkt(), preserve the allocation-time value
through the device lookup retry.

The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and
header_ops-&gt;create is not addressed here.

<title>kcov: fix data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RT</title>

commit 2eed77fdcb0cc48e8eccb2bcd4b7f2c6d650e84c upstream.

syzbot is reporting KCOV state corruption on PREEMPT_RT kernels, for the
temporary storage used for saving/restoring remote KCOV state is currently
allocated as the per-CPU area.

On PREEMPT_RT kernels, softirq handlers run as preemptible task threads
(e.g., ksoftirqd). If a softirq context preempts a task running a remote
KCOV session, it safely saves the task's state into the per-CPU area.
However, if that softirq thread is subsequently preempted by a higher-
priority softirq thread on the same CPU, the second softirq will overwrite
the same per-CPU area, permanently destroying the original task's KCOV
state.

Fix this data corruption by moving the temporary storage from the per-CPU
area to the per-thread area. Since each softirq thread now owns its own
task context, nested softirq preemption no longer causes data overwrites.

Note that while the temporary storage is now on a per-thread basis, the
per-CPU kcov_percpu_data.lock must be retained, for we need to ensure that
kcov_remote_start() and kcov_remote_stop() operate atomically without
racing against asynchronous interrupts that manipulate the current task's
KCOV state.

It is likely that GFP_KERNEL allocation by vmalloc_node() in kcov_init()
has already called panic() before returning NULL, for there will be no
OOM-killable userspace processes when __init function of built-in module
runs. But this patch also fixes crashing the kernel when vmalloc_node()
in kcov_init() returned NULL, for kcov_init() left per-CPU irq_area == NULL
but kcov_remote_start() depends on per-CPU irq_area != NULL, resulting in

  (1) doing vmalloc() in kcov_remote_start() despite !in_task() context

  (2) out-of-array-bounds access if (1) succeeded but
      kcov-&gt;remote_size &lt; CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE

  (3) always leak memory allocated by (1), eventually killing all
      OOM-killable userspace processes

problems.
