Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: zoned: return EIO on RAID1 block group write pointer mismatch There was a bug report about a NULL pointer dereference in __btrfs_add_free_space_zoned() that ultimately happens because a conversion from the default metadata profile DUP to a RAID1 profile on two disks. The stack trace has the following signature: BTRFS error (device sdc): zoned: write pointer offset mismatch of zones in raid1 profile BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000058 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:__btrfs_add_free_space_zoned.isra.0+0x61/0x1a0 RSP: 0018:ffffa236b6f3f6d0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff96c8132f3400 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: 0000000010000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff96c8132f3410 RBP: 0000000010000000 R08: 0000000000000003 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 00000000ffffffff R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffff96c758f65a40 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 000011aac0000000 FS: 00007fdab1cb2900(0000) GS:ffff96e60ca00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000058 CR3: 00000001a05ae000 CR4: 0000000000350ef0 Call Trace: <TASK> ? __die_body.cold+0x19/0x27 ? page_fault_oops+0x15c/0x2f0 ? exc_page_fault+0x7e/0x180 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30 ? __btrfs_add_free_space_zoned.isra.0+0x61/0x1a0 btrfs_add_free_space_async_trimmed+0x34/0x40 btrfs_add_new_free_space+0x107/0x120 btrfs_make_block_group+0x104/0x2b0 btrfs_create_chunk+0x977/0xf20 btrfs_chunk_alloc+0x174/0x510 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f btrfs_inc_block_group_ro+0x1b1/0x230 btrfs_relocate_block_group+0x9e/0x410 btrfs_relocate_chunk+0x3f/0x130 btrfs_balance+0x8ac/0x12b0 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x14c/0x3e0 btrfs_ioctl+0x2686/0x2a80 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? ioctl_has_perm.constprop.0.isra.0+0xd2/0x120 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x97/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x82/0x160 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? __memcg_slab_free_hook+0x11a/0x170 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? kmem_cache_free+0x3f0/0x450 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x10/0x210 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? do_syscall_64+0x8e/0x160 ? sysfs_emit+0xaf/0xc0 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? seq_read_iter+0x207/0x460 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? vfs_read+0x29c/0x370 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x10/0x210 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? do_syscall_64+0x8e/0x160 ? srso_return_thunk+0x5/0x5f ? exc_page_fault+0x7e/0x180 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e RIP: 0033:0x7fdab1e0ca6d RSP: 002b:00007ffeb2b60c80 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000010 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000003 RCX: 00007fdab1e0ca6d RDX: 00007ffeb2b60d80 RSI: 00000000c4009420 RDI: 0000000000000003 RBP: 00007ffeb2b60cd0 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000013 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 00007ffeb2b6343b R14: 00007ffeb2b60d80 R15: 0000000000000001 </TASK> CR2: 0000000000000058 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- The 1st line is the most interesting here: BTRFS error (device sdc): zoned: write pointer offset mismatch of zones in raid1 profile When a RAID1 block-group is created and a write pointer mismatch between the disks in the RAID set is detected, btrfs sets the alloc_offset to the length of the block group marking it as full. Afterwards the code expects that a balance operation will evacuate the data in this block-group and repair the problems. But before this is possible, the new space of this block-group will be accounted in the free space cache. But in __btrfs_ ---truncated---

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: tmc-etr: Fix race condition between sysfs and perf mode When trying to run perf and sysfs mode simultaneously, the WARN_ON() in tmc_etr_enable_hw() is triggered sometimes: WARNING: CPU: 42 PID: 3911571 at drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:1060 tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] [..snip..] Call trace: tmc_etr_enable_hw+0xc0/0xd8 [coresight_tmc] (P) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] (L) tmc_enable_etr_sink+0x11c/0x250 [coresight_tmc] coresight_enable_path+0x1c8/0x218 [coresight] coresight_enable_sysfs+0xa4/0x228 [coresight] enable_source_store+0x58/0xa8 [coresight] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x40 sysfs_kf_write+0x4c/0x68 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x120/0x1b8 vfs_write+0x2c8/0x388 ksys_write+0x74/0x108 __arm64_sys_write+0x24/0x38 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x64/0x148 do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 el0_svc+0x3c/0x130 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xc8/0xd0 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Since the enablement of sysfs mode is separeted into two critical regions, one for sysfs buffer allocation and another for hardware enablement, it's possible to race with the perf mode. Fix this by double check whether the perf mode's been used before enabling the hardware in sysfs mode. mode: [sysfs mode] [perf mode] tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer() spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) [sysfs buffer allocation] spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() drvdata->etr_buf = etr_perf->etr_buf spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) spin_lock(&drvdata->spinlock) tmc_etr_enable_hw() WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) // WARN sicne etr_buf initialized at the perf side spin_unlock(&drvdata->spinlock) With this fix, we retain the check for CS_MODE_PERF in get_etr_sysfs_buf. This ensures we verify whether the perf mode's already running before we actually allocate the buffer. Then we can save the time of allocating/freeing the sysfs buffer if race with the perf mode.CVE-2026-46272
