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.

<id>urn:sha1:f89d7ab21ecd8108301cf3c6c08b396208ce5d8d</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d07644524b6511b622ee7b0e2e68c9ee43d522a4 ]

hidinput_query_battery_capacity() assumes the state-of-charge value is
the first byte following the report ID (buf[1]) and ignores where the
battery field actually sits within the report.

An Apple Magic Trackpad 2 precedes the AbsoluteStateOfCharge byte with a
byte of status flags in its battery reports, so this query returns the
flags byte instead of the charge level.

The device happens to make that easy to observe, because it exposes the
same cell twice: its report descriptor declares AbsoluteStateOfCharge in
two reports (0x90 and 0x9b), so hidinput_setup_battery() registers two
power supplies. Only the first one is refreshed by hid-magicmouse -- it
uses hid_get_battery(), which returns the first battery of the list --
and that refresh goes through the report event path, which parses the
field correctly. Nothing ever reports the second one, so every read of
its capacity takes the query path above. On a USB-C Magic Trackpad over
USB, on an unpatched 7.1.5:

  hid-&lt;serial&gt;-battery-144 = 100%  (Charging)      &lt;- report event path
  hid-&lt;serial&gt;-battery-155 =   3%  (Discharging)   &lt;- query path

Both are the same physical battery. A raw HIDIOCGINPUT of the two
reports at that same moment:

  report 0x90 -&gt; [90 03 64]
  report 0x9b -&gt; [9b 03 64 64 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00]
                     ^flags ^SoC = 0x64 = 100%

The device answers correctly in both cases; only the offset the kernel
reads the capacity from is wrong. 0x03 is the flags byte (present,
charging), reported as "3%".

Bluetooth takes the same query path for its capacity, where the trackpad
reported a bogus near-constant ~4% -- 0b100, the FullyCharged flag --
regardless of the real charge.

Store the battery field's offset within the report at setup time and use
it when querying, so the capacity is read from its real position. The
report event path already parses the field correctly through the HID
core; only the explicit GET_REPORT query was wrong.

Devices whose capacity field is the first field in the report have a
report_offset of 0 and are unaffected (buf[1 + 0] == buf[1]).

[ Upstream commit 2eed77fdcb0cc48e8eccb2bcd4b7f2c6d650e84c ]

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.

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

<id>urn:sha1:7265c747eec415ca3109a6a14a419f7ae433b780</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

The can_skb_priv::skbcnt variable is used to identify CAN skbs in the RX
path analogue to the skb-&gt;hash.

As the skb hash is not filled in CAN skbs move the private skbcnt value to
skb-&gt;hash and set skb-&gt;sw_hash accordingly. The skb-&gt;hash is a value used
for RPS to identify skbs. Use it as intended.

[ Upstream commit dedd34b0f2310e28c5f6d4875cfbf4b7ed821c01 ]

Deep qdisc hierarchies can lead to excessive recursion in qdisc tree
walkers and exhaust the kernel stack. The existing loop check does not
cover the create-and-graft path, so a hierarchy can still be extended by
creating a new child qdisc below an already deep parent.

Store the hierarchy depth in struct Qdisc and update it when qdiscs are
grafted. Reject new child qdiscs once the parent is already at the maximum
allowed depth.

[ 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.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 883b56ae58fe657d8497806c7059646e9ba6dbd0 ]

tcf_action_check_ctrlact() range checks the primary control action:

	if (!opcode)
		ret = action &gt; TC_ACT_VALUE_MAX ? -EINVAL : 0;

TC_ACT_VALUE_MAX is TC_ACT_TRAP, so kernel-internal verdicts above it
cannot be set that way. But act_gact and act_police each carry a second,
independent control action supplied by user space that never reaches that
helper - TCA_GACT_PROB.paction and TCA_POLICE_RESULT. Both only reject
TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN, so any other value is stored verbatim and returned
verbatim from the action.

In particular user space can store TC_ACT_CONSUMED, which is
TC_ACT_VALUE_MAX + 1 and is deliberately not part of the UAPI value
range. That verdict tells every caller the action took ownership of the
skb, so nobody frees it: sch_handle_ingress(), sch_handle_egress() and
tcf_qevent_handle() all deliberately skip the free for it. The result is
one leaked sk_buff plus its data buffer per packet traversing the filter,
unbounded, for all traffic on the chain including kernel-generated
packets.

Both are trivially deterministic. act_gact clamps tcfg_pval to &gt;= 1, so
with pval = 1 gact_determ() returns the fallback for every packet.
act_police has no mandatory rate, so rate = 0 leaves tcfp_mtu = ~0 and
tcf_police_mtu_check() always passes.

TC_ACT_CONSUMED was added by commit 720f22fed81b ("net: sched: refactor
reinsert action"), after both goto-chain guards were written:
commit 9469f375ab09 ("net/sched: act_gact: disallow 'goto chain' on
fallback control action") and
commit c08f5ed5d625 ("net/sched: act_police: disallow 'goto chain' on
fallback control action"). Neither guard was widened when the new
verdict appeared.

Factor the existing range test out of tcf_action_check_ctrlact() as
tcf_action_valid() and apply it to both fallbacks. The helper cannot call
tcf_action_check_ctrlact() directly because that also allocates a
goto_chain, which is exactly what these two sites must not do.

Reproduced on v7.2-rc6: kmemleak reports one leaked 232-byte
skbuff_head_cache object plus its 704-byte data buffer per packet. With
this patch both configurations are rejected with -EINVAL and kmemleak
reports none.

[ Upstream commit 0357ef03c94ef835bd44a0658b8edb672a9dbf51 ]

Commit 2a010c412853 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec") removed
the legacy behavior of getting ETXTBSY on attempt to open and executable
file for write while it is being executed.

This commit was reverted because an application that depends on this
legacy behavior was broken by the change.

We need to allow HSM writing into executable files while executed to
fill their content on-the-fly.

To that end, disable the ETXTBSY legacy behavior for files that are
watched by pre-content events.

This change is not expected to cause regressions with existing systems
which do not have any pre-content event listeners.

[ Upstream commit a94204f4d48e28a711b7ed10399f749286c433e3 ]

Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode,
parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that
were already open at the time of setting up the watches.

fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware,
that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that
one Anti-malware engine installed on a system.

To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file
access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate
events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the
filesystem at the time that the file was opened.

The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into
two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the
events types to report.

This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order
to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.

[Thanks to Bert Karwatzki &lt;spasswolf@web.de&gt; for reporting a bug in this
code with CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS disabled]
