net/sched: cls_route: free emptied bucket on filter move

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_route: free emptied bucket on filter move route4_change can move an existing filter to a different top-level bucket: route4_set_parms recomputes the handle from TCA_ROUTE4_TO/ FROM/IIF, and the handle-mismatch check is gated on the 'new' flag, so for an existing filter the new handle may differ from the old one and land in a different bucket. When this happens, the filter is unlinked from the old bucket, but the bucket itself is never freed once it goes empty. The stale empty bucket remains in head->table[], causing route4_delete to report *last=false even after the last live filter is gone. That pins the empty tcf_proto and causes a leak. Fix this by refcounting the filters linked to a bucket and freeing the bucket when the count drops to zero. The existing scan in route4_delete goes away with it. The count is updated at all sites that link or unlink a filter during add, change and delete, and the bucket is dropped from head->table[] as soon as it reaches zero. Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE4=y, CONFIG_NET_SCH_INGRESS=y, CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=y. tc qdisc replace dev lo clsact tc filter add dev lo ingress protocol ip pref 100 route from 1 to 1 tc filter change dev lo ingress protocol ip pref 100 handle 0x10001 \ route from 1 to 2 tc filter del dev lo ingress protocol ip pref 100 handle 0x10002 \ route from 1 to 2 tc filter show dev lo ingress | grep -c 'pref 100 route chain 0 '

CVE-2026-97952

sunvdc: unmap LDC cookies when the descriptor send fails

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sunvdc: unmap LDC cookies when the descriptor send fails __send_request() maps the request's pages into the LDC channel's map table (ldc_map_sg()), fills in the descriptor and marks it VIO_DESC_READY before ringing the doorbell via __vdc_tx_trigger(). When the trigger fails, the error path only prints a message: the descriptor stays READY and the cookies are never unmapped. The mapping is normally released in vdc_end_one() when the peer completes the descriptor - but a descriptor whose doorbell was never sent will never complete, and since dr->prod is not advanced on failure, the reset path (vdc_requeue_inflight(), which walks [cons, prod)) never visits it either. The map table entries are leaked permanently. Since commit a11f6ca9aef9 ("sunvdc: Do not spin in an infinite loop when vio_ldc_send() returns EAGAIN") trigger failures occur in practice under load, so every resulting I/O error also leaks one request's worth of entries from the fixed-size (8192 entries per channel) map table. Because the allocator hands out contiguous ranges, fragmentation makes large multi-segment requests fail first as the table drains, until ldc_map_sg() fails permanently and the disk is dead until reboot. It also makes any retry-based recovery unusable: requeuing the request on -EAGAIN remaps the pages on every attempt, overwriting desc->cookies and orphaning the previous mapping, so the table drains at the retry rate. This is the memory exhaustion observed when the requeue approach was first tested in October 2025. Roll back on failure: unmap the cookies, mark the descriptor FREE again and clear the request entry. If the trigger failed with -ENOTCONN, __vdc_tx_trigger() has already reset the port, which tears down and reallocates both the dring and the LDC channel including its map table - nothing to roll back, and the stale descriptor must not be touched.

CVE-2026-97923

tracing: Free histogram the var ref when its initialization fails

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Free histogram the var ref when its initialization fails create_var_ref() allocates a VAR_REF hist_field and then calls init_var_ref() to fill it in. When that fails the field is leaked. commit 656fe2ba85e8 ("tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs") made destroy_hist_field() return early for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, since var refs are freed by walking the trigger's var_refs[] array instead. create_var_ref() adds the field to that array only after init_var_ref() has succeeded, so on this path the field is in neither place and nothing frees it. The call was correct when it was written, before var refs were taken out of destroy_hist_field(). init_var_ref() cannot free it either. The caller owns the field, so init_var_ref() undoes only its own string allocations and leaves the field alone. Freeing it there would leave create_var_ref() passing freed memory to destroy_hist_field(), which reads its flags. Call __destroy_hist_field(), which frees the field without consulting the flag.

tracing: Free histogram var refs regardless of how often they are referenced

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Free histogram var refs regardless of how often they are referenced Using the same variable three or more times in one hist trigger leaks the variable reference and its strings when the trigger is removed. commit 656fe2ba85e8 ("tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs") made a trigger's var_refs[] array the only owner of a var ref: destroy_hist_field() returns early for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, so the field expressions never destroy one. One entry, freed once, no count needed. commit 8bcebc77e85f ("tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as value") then made repeated references share one object and added a count of them. Only the increment side exists, since those expressions still return early and never drop a reference, so __destroy_hist_field() sees how many references were created rather than how many are left. It frees when the decremented count is 0 or 1, so two references work and three or more leak. Sharing kept one array entry per object, and create_var_ref() searches and appends within a single trigger, so nothing outside it holds the object. Removing a trigger whose variables are still referenced is already refused by check_var_refs() with -EBUSY. Drop the count and free unconditionally.

CVE-2026-97921

tracing: Free histogram the field rejected for a bad modifier

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Free histogram the field rejected for a bad modifier Writing a hist trigger whose value or variable carries a modifier that is not allowed there leaks the fields that were built for it. __create_val_field() takes the field from parse_expr() and stores it in hist_data->fields[] only after the modifier checks have run: hist_field = parse_expr(hist_data, file, field_str, flags, var_name, &n_subexprs); ... if (hist_field->flags & HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR) { if (hist_field->flags & (...)) goto err; } else { if (hist_field->flags & (...)) goto err; } hist_data->fields[val_idx] = hist_field; Both checks jump past that store, and the err label returns without freeing anything. The error unwinds to create_hist_data(), which calls destroy_hist_data() -> destroy_hist_fields(), and that reaches a field only by walking fields[]. A field that never got there is unreachable. commit e0213434fe3e ("tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers") set ret to -EINVAL and fell through to the store, which left the field owned by fields[] and freed along with the rest of hist_data. Splitting the check into a value case and a variable case replaced that fall-through with a goto that skips it. With CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK, 200 writes of # echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:vals=next_pid.log2' > \ events/sched/sched_switch/trigger each correctly rejected with -EINVAL, leave 332 unreferenced objects (63744 bytes) reported at create_hist_field(); 200 install and remove cycles of a valid trigger leave none. A '.log2' field is two allocations, since create_hist_field() puts the plain field in operands[0] of the log2 field, and both are reported. Use destroy_hist_field() rather than __destroy_hist_field() so that operands[0] is freed as well. It returns early for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, which is what an operand owned by hist_data->var_refs[] needs; the rejected field itself is never a var ref, because a var ref never carries a modifier flag.

dpaa2-switch: rework FDB management on the bridge leave path

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dpaa2-switch: rework FDB management on the bridge leave path On bridge leave, the dpaa2_switch_port_set_fdb() function always allocates a new FDB for the port which is becoming standalone. In case no FDB is found, then the port leaving a bridge will continue to use the current one. The above logic does not cover the case in which there are multiple bridges which have ports from the same DPSW instance. In this case, when the last port leaves bridge #1, it finds an unused FDB to switch to, but the old FDB is not marked as unused. Since the number of FDBs is equal to the number of DPSW interfaces, this will eventually lead to multiple ports sharing the same FDB. Fix this by changing how we are managing the FDBs on the leave path. Instead of directly allocating a new FDB, first verify if the current port is the last one to leave a bridge. If this is the case, then continue to use the current FDB and only allocate another FDB if there are other ports remaining in the bridge.

blk-cgroup: fix leaks and online flag on radix_tree_insert failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-cgroup: fix leaks and online flag on radix_tree_insert failure When radix_tree_insert() fails in blkg_create(), the error path has two issues: 1. blkg->online is set to true unconditionally, even when the blkg was never fully inserted. Move the assignment inside the success block. 2. The error path calls blkg_put() without first calling percpu_ref_kill(). Because the refcount is still in percpu mode, percpu_ref_put() only does this_cpu_sub() without checking for zero, so blkg_release() is never triggered. This permanently leaks the blkg memory, its percpu iostat, policy data, the parent blkg reference, and the cgroup css reference — the latter preventing the cgroup from ever being destroyed. Fix by replacing blkg_put() with percpu_ref_kill(), matching the pattern used in blkg_destroy().

wifi: rtw89: pci: add .shutdown callback to stop rfkill polling on reboot

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: pci: add .shutdown callback to stop rfkill polling on reboot Since the hardware rfkill polling was introduced, arm64 platforms can panic with an asynchronous SError during warm reboot: SError Interrupt on CPU8, code 0x00000000be000011 -- SError Workqueue: events_power_efficient rfkill_poll [rfkill] rtw89_pci_ops_read8+0x94/0x160 [rtw89_pci] rtw89_core_rfkill_poll+0x50/0x1e0 [rtw89_core] rtw89_ops_rfkill_poll+0x40/0x68 [rtw89_core] ieee80211_rfkill_poll+0x3c/0x70 [mac80211] cfg80211_rfkill_poll+0x40/0x2a0 [cfg80211] rfkill_poll+0x30/0x88 [rfkill] Kernel panic - not syncing: Asynchronous SError Interrupt On the reboot path the kernel only runs device_shutdown(), which calls each driver's .shutdown callback; .remove is not invoked. The rtw89 PCI driver had no .shutdown callback, so nothing stopped the rfkill polling work while the platform was tearing the PCIe link down. Once the link is gone, the next MMIO read from the poll handler targets a non-responding device and is reported as a fatal asynchronous SError on arm64. Add rtw89_pci_shutdown(), wired to all rtw89 PCI device drivers, which sets a new RTW89_FLAG_SHUTDOWN flag (mirroring the USB RTW89_FLAG_UNPLUGGED pattern). When the flag is set, rtw89_ops_rfkill_poll() returns early, so no MMIO read is issued to the chip after shutdown begins and the SError no longer occurs. This does not call the full .remove path from .shutdown, to keep the shutdown handler minimal and avoid running the non-idempotent teardown twice.

bnxt_en: Prevent queue stop with deferred completions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnxt_en: Prevent queue stop with deferred completions When the driver receives a burst of packets, it can mark a BD with the NO_CMPL bit to defer completions. The expectation is that the last packet in the ring will have this bit unset and the completion generated by that packet will cleanup that packet and the ones preceding it. This helps to reduce the number of completions fired. The suppressed completions are controlled by the driver and the number of packets with suppressed completions scales with the size of the ring. SW USO packets, on the other hand, have an upper bound on the maximum number of BDs which can be consumed which does not scale with the ring size. So, for small rings it is possible that: a burst of packets is handed to the driver, the driver defers completions for all of the packets because the number of free descriptors stays above the threshold in the driver. Then, a USO packet arrives, but the number of BDs available is not enough and the USO code exits early. In this case, you end up in a state where the ring is full of packets with their completions suppressed, which can cause the queue to stop and never be restarted. Assuming default CONFIG_MAX_SKB_FRAGS, this is only possible for small rings (<= 457 descriptors, below the driver default value) when a burst of packets fills the ring, followed by a large USO packet that can't fit. For larger rings, the delta between the completion suppression threshold and the BDs required for SW USO is large enough that completions will fire and this case is unreachable. This issue was pointed out by Sashiko and while it seems fairly unlikely given that the queue size must be small to trigger this, it is indeed possible. Fix this by tracking the last BD which deferred completions and centralizing the logic for deciding when to ring the doorbell. The NO_CMPL bit is now cleared in bnxt_txr_db_kick(), so every doorbell site is covered, including the SW USO early exit. This guarantees the ring always ends in a BD which generates a completion to clean it and wake the queue.
