Summary of patch series in this merge:
- "ocfs2/dlm: bound peer-controlled lengths in the o2dlm" (Bryam Vargas):
Validate and bound all input lengths and count fields in the o2dlm
migration and recovery receive handlers to prevent memory corruption and
kernel panics from malformed cluster messages
- "ocfs2: validate xattr entry bounds" (Cen Zhang):
Validate OCFS2 extended attribute entry name and value bounds during
metadata reads to prevent out-of-range memory accesses during retrieval
or listing operations.
- "taskstats: fix cgroupstats invalid fd handling and add selftests"
(Yiyang Chen):
Return -EBADF when cgroupstats receives an invalid file descriptor to
prevent caller hangs and misleading success ACKs. Add a kselftest to
validate valid cgroup v1 queries and verify proper error handling across
different Netlink flag combinations.
- "misc lib/raid/ improvements v2" (Christoph Hellwig):
Improve benchmark-based algorithm selection for the XOR and RAID6
libraries, add KUnit benchmark tests, and cleanup minor implementation
details.
- "ocfs2: cluster: o2hb_region_pin() fixes" (Joseph Qi):
Fix sleeping-in-atomic, lock order inversion and error-path cleanup
bugs in o2hb_region_pin() by releasing o2hb_live_lock across sleeping
configfs_depend_item() calls and using unlocked variants from callback
context. Ensure failed pin attempts properly decrement user counts and
unpin partially initialized heartbeat regions to prevent memory leaks
and unprotected states.
- "lib/ucs2_string.c: fix out-of-bounds read in ucs2_strnlen()" (Vincent
Mailhol)
Fix an off-by-one which could cause an out-of-bounds read.
- "ocfs2: harden heartbeat teardown races" (Cen Zhang):
Fix two OCFS2 heartbeat/o2net teardown races found by KASAN.
- "taskstats: tidy up the cpumask command path" *Bradley Morgan)
make two small cleanups in kernel/taskstats.c.
- "ocfs2: validate active orphan slots during inode read" (ZhengYuan Huang):
Validate active ordinary and append-DIO orphan slots read from OCFS2
dinodes at the metadata boundary to prevent corrupted slot indices from
causing out-of-bounds array accesses.
- "ocfs2: bound-check both readdir re-validation scans" (Zhan Xusheng)
Enforce strict boundary checks on directory entry record lengths and
offset calculations during OCFS2 directory re-scans to prevent
out-of-bounds memory reads and directory position corruption.
