commit dec9b2f1e0455a151a7293c367da22ab973f713e upstream.

There is a very common pattern of using
debugfs_remove(debufs_lookup(..)) which results in a dentry leak of the
dentry that was looked up.  Instead of having to open-code the correct
pattern of calling dput() on the dentry, create
debugfs_lookup_and_remove() to handle this pattern automatically and
properly without any memory leaks.

commit 9c6d778800b921bde3bff3cff5003d1650f942d1 upstream.

Automatic kernel fuzzing revealed a recursive locking violation in
usb-storage:

This turned out not to be an error in usb-storage but rather a nested
device reset attempt.  That is, as the rtl8712 driver was being
unbound from a composite device in preparation for an unrelated USB
reset (that driver does not have pre_reset or post_reset callbacks),
its -&gt;remove routine called usb_reset_device() -- thus nesting one
reset call within another.

Performing a reset as part of disconnect processing is a questionable
practice at best.  However, the bug report points out that the USB
core does not have any protection against nested resets.  Adding a
reset_in_progress flag and testing it will prevent such errors in the
future.

commit c1e5c2f0cb8a22ec2e14af92afc7006491bebabb upstream.

Fix incorrect pin assignment values when connecting to a monitor with
Type-C receptacle instead of a plug.

According to specification, an UFP_D receptacle's pin assignment
should came from the UFP_D pin assignments field (bit 23:16), while
an UFP_D plug's assignments are described in the DFP_D pin assignments
(bit 15:8) during Mode Discovery.

For example the LG 27 UL850-W is a monitor with Type-C receptacle.
The monitor responds to MODE DISCOVERY command with following
DisplayPort Capability flag:

        dp-&gt;alt-&gt;vdo=0x140045

The existing logic only take cares of UPF_D plug case,
and would take the bit 15:8 for this 0x140045 case.

This results in an non-existing pin assignment 0x0 in
dp_altmode_configure.

To fix this problem a new set of macros are introduced
to take plug/receptacle differences into consideration.

On Intel hardware the SLP_TYPx bitfield occupies bits 10-12 as per ACPI
specification (see Table 4.13 "PM1 Control Registers Fixed Hardware
Feature Control Bits" for the details).

Fix the mask and other related definitions accordingly.

<title>fs: only do a memory barrier for the first set_buffer_uptodate()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5aa8067fa31df8db6b6e5b216ce488a422ab7076</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2f79cdfe58c13949bbbb65ba5926abfe9561d0ec upstream.

Commit d4252071b97d ("add barriers to buffer_uptodate and
set_buffer_uptodate") added proper memory barriers to the buffer head
BH_Uptodate bit, so that anybody who tests a buffer for being up-to-date
will be guaranteed to actually see initialized state.

However, that commit didn't _just_ add the memory barrier, it also ended
up dropping the "was it already set" logic that the BUFFER_FNS() macro
had.

That's conceptually the right thing for a generic "this is a memory
barrier" operation, but in the case of the buffer contents, we really
only care about the memory barrier for the _first_ time we set the bit,
in that the only memory ordering protection we need is to avoid anybody
seeing uninitialized memory contents.

Any other access ordering wouldn't be about the BH_Uptodate bit anyway,
and would require some other proper lock (typically BH_Lock or the folio
lock).  A reader that races with somebody invalidating the buffer head
isn't an issue wrt the memory ordering, it's a serialization issue.

Now, you'd think that the buffer head operations don't matter in this
day and age (and I certainly thought so), but apparently some loads
still end up being heavy users of buffer heads.  In particular, the
kernel test robot reported that not having this bit access optimization
in place caused a noticeable direct IO performance regression on ext4:

  fxmark.ssd_ext4_no_jnl_DWTL_54_directio.works/sec -26.5% regression

although you presumably need a fast disk and a lot of cores to actually
notice.

<id>urn:sha1:6dbfc25d68d922736381988d64156a649ccf7bf1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2555283eb40df89945557273121e9393ef9b542b upstream.

anon_vma-&gt;degree tracks the combined number of child anon_vmas and VMAs
that use the anon_vma as their -&gt;anon_vma.

anon_vma_clone() then assumes that for any anon_vma attached to
src-&gt;anon_vma_chain other than src-&gt;anon_vma, it is impossible for it to
be a leaf node of the VMA tree, meaning that for such VMAs -&gt;degree is
elevated by 1 because of a child anon_vma, meaning that if -&gt;degree
equals 1 there are no VMAs that use the anon_vma as their -&gt;anon_vma.

This assumption is wrong because the -&gt;degree optimization leads to leaf
nodes being abandoned on anon_vma_clone() - an existing anon_vma is
reused and no new parent-child relationship is created.  So it is
possible to reuse an anon_vma for one VMA while it is still tied to
another VMA.

This is an issue because is_mergeable_anon_vma() and its callers assume
that if two VMAs have the same -&gt;anon_vma, the list of anon_vmas
attached to the VMAs is guaranteed to be the same.  When this assumption
is violated, vma_merge() can merge pages into a VMA that is not attached
to the corresponding anon_vma, leading to dangling page-&gt;mapping
pointers that will be dereferenced during rmap walks.

Fix it by separately tracking the number of child anon_vmas and the
number of VMAs using the anon_vma as their -&gt;anon_vma.

[ Upstream commit 7997eff82828304b780dc0a39707e1946d6f1ebf ]

Harshit Mogalapalli says:
 In ebt_do_table() function dereferencing 'private-&gt;hook_entry[hook]'

For some reason ebtables rejects blobs that provide entry points that are
not supported by the table, but what it should instead reject is the
opposite: blobs that DO NOT provide an entry point supported by the table.

t-&gt;valid_hooks is the bitmask of hooks (input, forward ...) that will see
packets.  Providing an entry point that is not support is harmless
(never called/used), but the inverse isn't: it results in a crash
because the ebtables traverser doesn't expect a NULL blob for a location
its receiving packets for.

Instead of fixing all the individual checks, do what iptables is doing and
reject all blobs that differ from the expected hooks.

He also provided a simple reproducer creating the situation below:

 So the execution order of locking steps are the following
 (N1 and N2 are non-deadline tasks. D1 is a deadline task. M1 and M2
 are mutexes that are enabled * with priority inheritance.)

 Time moves forward as this timeline goes down:

 N1              N2               D1
 |               |                |
 |               |                |
 Lock(M1)        |                |
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M2)           |
 |               |                |
 |               |              Lock(M2)
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M1)           |
 |             (!!bug triggered!) |

Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).

Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().

Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.

[ Upstream commit 7c56a8733d0a2a4be2438a7512566e5ce552fccf ]

In some circumstances it may be interesting to reconfigure the watchdog
from inside the kernel.

On PowerPC, this may helpful before and after a LPAR migration (LPM) is
initiated, because it implies some latencies, watchdog, and especially NMI
watchdog is expected to be triggered during this operation. Reconfiguring
the watchdog with a factor, would prevent it to happen too frequently
during LPM.

Rename lockup_detector_reconfigure() as __lockup_detector_reconfigure() and
create a new function lockup_detector_reconfigure() calling
__lockup_detector_reconfigure() under the protection of watchdog_mutex.
