Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "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. * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2026-08-22-16-57' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (95 commits) mailmap: fix bouncing address for Taniya Das ocfs2: bound-check dir entries in the inline-data re-validation scan ocfs2: bound-check dir entries in the readdir re-validation scan squashfs: avoid thundering-herd cache wakeups prctl: fix PR_SET_MM_AUXV losing the forced AT_NULL terminator mailmap: update email address for Linfeng Sun lib/interval_tree: fix allocation warning messages checkpatch: add NOKPROBE_SYMBOL to the whitelist of lines that can occur immediately after functions Squashfs: check block offset is not negative signal: factor out the kernel reserved si_code check ocfs2: fix readdir position truncation on 32-bit kernels ocfs2: fix cached cluster count after suballocator reclaim ocfs2: fix circular locking dependency in ocfs2_init_acl() ocfs2: validate DIO orphan slot during inode read ocfs2: validate orphan slot during inode read selftests/prctl: fix non-anonymous VMA mapping in set-anon-vma-name test MAINTAINERS: add IRC and patchwork for LTP include/linux/list.h: mark list_add and __list_add as __always_inline tools/mm: prevent page_owner_sort from truncating input hung_task: update DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER Kconfig help ...
