Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Pull ksmbd fixes from Steve French:
"Ten fixes for the ksmbd kernel server, for improved security and
additional buffer overflow checks:
- a security improvement to session establishment to reduce the
possibility of dictionary attacks
- fix to ensure that maximum i/o size negotiated in the protocol is
not less than 64K and not more than 8MB to better match expected
behavior
- fix for crediting (flow control) important to properly verify that
sufficient credits are available for the requested operation
- seven additional buffer overflow, buffer validation checks"
* tag '5.15-rc6-ksmbd-fixes' of git://git.samba.org/ksmbd:
ksmbd: add buffer validation in session setup
ksmbd: throttle session setup failures to avoid dictionary attacks

Dave is already listed as x86/mm maintainer, has a profund knowledge
of the x86 architecture in general and a good taste in terms of kernel
programming in general.
Add him as a full x86 maintainer with all rights and duties.

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
"Ten fixes, seven of which are in drivers.
The core fixes are one to fix a potential crash on resume, one to sort
out our reference count releases to avoid releasing in-use modules and
one to adjust the cmd per lun calculation to avoid an overflow in
hyper-v"

scsi: ufs: ufs-pci: Force a full restore after suspend-to-disk
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix unmap of already freed sgl
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix a memory leak in an error path of qla2x00_process_els()
scsi: qla2xxx: Return -ENOMEM if kzalloc() fails
scsi: sd: Fix crashes in sd_resume_runtime()
scsi: mpi3mr: Fix duplicate device entries when scanning through sysfs

scsi: storvsc: Fix validation for unsolicited incoming packets
scsi: iscsi: Fix set_param() handling
scsi: core: Fix shost->cmd_per_lun calculation in scsi_add_host_with_dma()
Make sure the security buffer's length/offset are valid with regards to
the packet length.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"Fix for the cgroup code not ussing irq safe stats updates, and one fix
for an error handling condition in add_partition()"
* tag 'block-5.15-2021-10-22' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: fix incorrect references to disk objects
blk-cgroup: blk_cgroup_bio_start() should use irq-safe operations on blkg->iostat_cpu
Implement the ->restore() PM operation and set the link to off, which will
force a full reset and restore. This ensures that Host Performance Booster
is reset after suspend-to-disk.
The Host Performance Booster feature caches logical-to-physical mapping
information in the host memory. After suspend-to-disk, such information is
not valid, so a full reset and restore is needed.
A full reset and restore is done if the SPM level is 5 or 6, but not for
other SPM levels, so this change fixes those cases.
A full reset and restore also restores base address registers, so that code
is removed.

To avoid dictionary attacks (repeated session setups rapidly sent) to
connect to server, ksmbd make a delay of a 5 seconds on session setup
failure to make it harder to send enough random connection requests
to break into a server if a user insert the wrong password 10 times
in a row.

When adding partitions to the disk, the reference count of the disk
object is increased. then alloc partition device and called
device_add(), if the device_add() return error, the reference
count of the disk object will be reduced twice, at put_device(pdev)
and put_disk(disk). this leads to the end of the object's life cycle
prematurely, and trigger following calltrace.

The sgl is freed in the target stack in target_release_cmd_kref() before
calling qlt_free_cmd() but there is an unmap of sgl in qlt_free_cmd() that
causes a panic if sgl is not yet DMA unmapped:
NIP dma_direct_unmap_sg+0xdc/0x180
LR dma_direct_unmap_sg+0xc8/0x180
Call Trace:

The sgl may be left unmapped in error cases of response sending. For
instance, qlt_rdy_to_xfer() maps sgl and exits when session is being
deleted keeping the sgl mapped.
This patch removes use-after-free of the sgl and ensures that the sgl is
unmapped for any command that was not sent to firmware.
