Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix regressions caused by reusing ident

2026-04-02T11:23:33+00:00

commit 761fb8ec8778f0caf2bba5a41e3cff1ea86974f3 upstream. This attempt to fix regressions caused by reusing ident which apparently is not handled well on certain stacks causing the stack to not respond to requests, so instead of simple returning the first unallocated id this stores the last used tx_ident and then attempt to use the next until all available ids are exausted and then cycle starting over to 1.

futex: Fix UaF between futex_key_to_node_opt() and vma_replace_policy()

2026-04-02T11:23:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 190a8c48ff623c3d67cb295b4536a660db2012aa ] During futex_key_to_node_opt() execution, vma->vm_policy is read under speculative mmap lock and RCU. Concurrently, mbind() may call vma_replace_policy() which frees the old mempolicy immediately via kmem_cache_free(). This creates a race where __futex_key_to_node() dereferences a freed mempolicy pointer, causing a use-after-free read of mpol->mode.

futex: Require sys_futex_requeue() to have identical flags

2026-04-02T11:23:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 19f94b39058681dec64a10ebeb6f23fe7fc3f77a ] Nicholas reported that his LLM found it was possible to create a UaF when sys_futex_requeue() is used with different flags. The initial motivation for allowing different flags was the variable sized futex, but since that hasn't been merged (yet), simply mandate the flags are identical, as is the case for the old style sys_futex() requeue operations.

netfs: Fix the handling of stream->front by removing it

2026-04-02T11:23:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0e764b9d46071668969410ec5429be0e2f38c6d3 ] The netfs_io_stream::front member is meant to point to the subrequest currently being collected on a stream, but it isn't actually used this way by direct write (which mostly ignores it). However, there's a tracepoint which looks at it. Further, stream->front is actually redundant with stream->subrequests.next. Fix the potential problem in the direct code by just removing the member and using stream->subrequests.next instead, thereby also simplifying the code.

xen/privcmd: unregister xenstore notifier on module exit

[ Upstream commit cd7e1fef5a1ca1c4fcd232211962ac2395601636 ] Commit 453b8fb68f36 ("xen/privcmd: restrict usage in unprivileged domU") added a xenstore notifier to defer setting the restriction target until Xenstore is ready. XEN_PRIVCMD can be built as a module, but privcmd_exit() leaves that notifier behind. Balance the notifier lifecycle by unregistering it on module exit. This is harmless even if xenstore was already ready at registration time and the notifier was never queued on the chain.

btrfs: fix lost error when running device stats on multiple devices fs

2026-04-02T11:23:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1c37d896b12dfd0d4c96e310b0033c6676933917 ] Whenever we get an error updating the device stats item for a device in btrfs_run_dev_stats() we allow the loop to go to the next device, and if updating the stats item for the next device succeeds, we end up losing the error we had from the previous device. Fix this by breaking out of the loop once we get an error and make sure it's returned to the caller. Since we are in the transaction commit path (and in the critical section actually), returning the error will result in a transaction abort.

btrfs: fix leak of kobject name for sub-group space_info

2026-04-02T11:23:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit a4376d9a5d4c9610e69def3fc0b32c86a7ab7a41 ] When create_space_info_sub_group() allocates elements of space_info->sub_group[], kobject_init_and_add() is called for each element via btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type(). However, when check_removing_space_info() frees these elements, it does not call btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() on them. As a result, kobject_put() is not called and the associated kobj->name objects are leaked. This memory leak is reproduced by running the blktests test case zbd/009 on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK. The kmemleak feature reports the following error: unreferenced object 0xffff888112877d40 (size 16): comm "mount", pid 1244, jiffies 4294996972 hex dump (first 16 bytes): 64 61 74 61 2d 72 65 6c 6f 63 00 c4 c6 a7 cb 7f data-reloc...... backtrace (crc 53ffde4d): __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x619/0x870 kstrdup+0x42/0xc0 kobject_set_name_vargs+0x44/0x110 kobject_init_and_add+0xcf/0x150 btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type+0xfc/0x210 [btrfs] create_space_info_sub_group.constprop.0+0xfb/0x1b0 [btrfs] create_space_info+0x211/0x320 [btrfs] btrfs_init_space_info+0x15a/0x1b0 [btrfs] open_ctree+0x33c7/0x4a50 [btrfs] btrfs_get_tree.cold+0x9f/0x1ee [btrfs] vfs_get_tree+0x87/0x2f0 vfs_cmd_create+0xbd/0x280 __do_sys_fsconfig+0x3df/0x990 do_syscall_64+0x136/0x1540 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e To avoid the leak, call btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() instead of kfree() for the elements.
