net: mctp i2c: check length before marking flow active
Currently, mctp_i2c_get_tx_flow_state() is called before the packet length
sanity check. This function marks a new flow as active in the MCTP core.
If the sanity check fails, mctp_i2c_xmit() returns early without calling
mctp_i2c_lock_nest(). This results in a mismatched locking state: the
flow is active, but the I2C bus lock was never acquired for it.
When the flow is later released, mctp_i2c_release_flow() will see the
active state and queue an unlock marker. The TX thread will then
decrement midev->i2c_lock_count from 0, causing it to underflow to -1.
This underflow permanently breaks the driver's locking logic, allowing
future transmissions to occur without holding the I2C bus lock, leading
to bus collisions and potential hardware hangs.
Move the mctp_i2c_get_tx_flow_state() call to after the length sanity
check to ensure we only transition the flow state if we are actually
going to proceed with the transmission and locking.

net: stmmac: Prevent NULL deref when RX memory exhausted
The CPU receives frames from the MAC through conventional DMA: the CPU
allocates buffers for the MAC, then the MAC fills them and returns
ownership to the CPU. For each hardware RX queue, the CPU and MAC
coordinate through a shared ring array of DMA descriptors: one
descriptor per DMA buffer. Each descriptor includes the buffer's
physical address and a status flag ("OWN") indicating which side owns
the buffer: OWN=0 for CPU, OWN=1 for MAC. The CPU is only allowed to set
the flag and the MAC is only allowed to clear it, and both must move
through the ring in sequence: thus the ring is used for both
"submissions" and "completions."
In the stmmac driver, stmmac_rx() bookmarks its position in the ring
with the `cur_rx` index. The main receive loop in that function checks
for rx_descs[cur_rx].own=0, gives the corresponding buffer to the
network stack (NULLing the pointer), and increments `cur_rx` modulo the
ring size. After the loop exits, stmmac_rx_refill(), which bookmarks its
position with `dirty_rx`, allocates fresh buffers and rearms the
descriptors (setting OWN=1). If it fails any allocation, it simply stops
early (leaving OWN=0) and will retry where it left off when next called.
This means descriptors have a three-stage lifecycle (terms my own):
- `empty` (OWN=1, buffer valid)
- `full` (OWN=0, buffer valid and populated)
- `dirty` (OWN=0, buffer NULL)
But because stmmac_rx() only checks OWN, it confuses `full`/`dirty`. In
the past (see 'Fixes:'), there was a bug where the loop could cycle
`cur_rx` all the way back to the first descriptor it dirtied, resulting
in a NULL dereference when mistaken for `full`. The aforementioned
commit resolved that *specific* failure by capping the loop's iteration
limit at `dma_rx_size - 1`, but this is only a partial fix: if the
previous stmmac_rx_refill() didn't complete, then there are leftover
`dirty` descriptors that the loop might encounter without needing to
cycle fully around. The current code therefore panics (see 'Closes:')
when stmmac_rx_refill() is memory-starved long enough for `cur_rx` to
catch up to `dirty_rx`.
Fix this by explicitly checking, before advancing `cur_rx`, if the next
entry is dirty; exit the loop if so. This prevents processing of the
final, used descriptor until stmmac_rx_refill() succeeds, but
fully prevents the `cur_rx == dirty_rx` ambiguity as the previous bugfix
intended: so remove the clamp as well. Since stmmac_rx_zc() is a
copy-paste-and-tweak of stmmac_rx() and the code structure is identical,
any fix to stmmac_rx() will also need a corresponding fix for
stmmac_rx_zc(). Therefore, apply the same check there.
In stmmac_rx() (not stmmac_rx_zc()), a related bug remains: after the
MAC sets OWN=0 on the final descriptor, it will be unable to send any
further DMA-complete IRQs until it's given more `empty` descriptors.
Currently, the driver simply *hopes* that the next stmmac_rx_refill()
succeeds, risking an indefinite stall of the receive process if not. But
this is not a regression, so it can be addressed in a future change.

net: ipv6: fix NOREF dst use in seg6 and rpl lwtunnels
seg6_input_core() and rpl_input() call ip6_route_input() which sets a

dst_hold() unconditionally.
On PREEMPT_RT, ksoftirqd is preemptible and a higher-priority task can
release the underlying pcpu_rt between the lookup and the caching
through a concurrent FIB lookup on a shared nexthop.

For the race to occur, ksoftirqd must be preemptible (PREEMPT_RT without

the pcpu_rt. Shared nexthop objects provide such a path, as two routes
pointing to the same nhid share the same fib6_nh and its rt6i_pcpu
entry.
Fix seg6_input_core() and rpl_input() by calling skb_dst_force() after
ip6_route_input() to force the NOREF dst into a refcounted one before

The output path is not affected as ip6_route_output() already returns a

bytes of the union inet_addr storage.
For an IPv6 netpoll whose caller-supplied local address has a zero
high-32 bits (::1, ::<suffix>, IPv4-mapped ::ffff:a.b.c.d, etc.), this

whatever matching link-local/global address the device happens to expose

ibmveth: Disable GSO for packets with small MSS
Some physical adapters on Power systems do not support segmentation
offload when the MSS is less than 224 bytes. Attempting to send such
packets causes the adapter to freeze, stopping all traffic until
manually reset.
Implement ndo_features_check to disable GSO for packets with small MSS
values. The network stack will perform software segmentation instead.
The 224-byte minimum matches ibmvnic
commit <f10b09ef687f> ("ibmvnic: Enforce stronger sanity checks
on GSO packets")
which uses the same physical adapters in SEA configurations.
The issue occurs specifically when the hardware attempts to perform
segmentation (gso_segs > 1) with a small MSS. Single-segment GSO packets
(gso_segs == 1) do not trigger the problematic LSO code path and are
transmitted normally without segmentation.
Add an ndo_features_check callback to disable GSO when MSS < 224 bytes.
Also call vlan_features_check() to ensure proper handling of VLAN packets,
particularly QinQ (802.1ad) configurations where the hardware parser may
not support certain offload features.
Validated using iptables to force small MSS values. Without the fix,
the adapter freezes. With the fix, packets are segmented in software
and transmission succeeds. Comprehensive regression testing completedd
(MSS tests, performance, stability).

neigh_xmit always releases the skb, except when no neighbour table is
found. But even the first added user of neigh_xmit (mpls) relied on
neigh_xmit to release the skb (or queue it for tx).
sashiko reported:
If neigh_xmit() is called with an uninitialized neighbor table (for
example, NEIGH_ND_TABLE when IPv6 is disabled), it returns -EAFNOSUPPORT
and bypasses its internal out_kfree_skb error path. Because the return
value of neigh_xmit() is ignored here, does this leak the SKB?
Assume full ownership and remove the last code path that doesn't
xmit or free skb.
With CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES=n, ipmr_fib_lookup()
does not check if net->ipv4.mrt is NULL.
Since default_device_exit_batch() is called after ->exit_rtnl(),
a device could receive IGMP packets and access net->ipv4.mrt
during/after ipmr_rules_exit_rtnl().
If ipmr_rules_exit_rtnl() had already cleared it and freed the
memory, the access would trigger null-ptr-deref or use-after-free.
Let's fix it by using RCU helper and free mrt after RCU grace
period.
In addition, check_net(net) is added to mroute_clean_tables()
and ipmr_cache_unresolved() to synchronise via mfc_unres_lock.
This prevents ipmr_cache_unresolved() from putting skb into
c->_c.mfc_un.unres.unresolved after mroute_clean_tables()
purges it.
For the same reason, timer_shutdown_sync() is moved after
mroute_clean_tables().
Since rhltable_destroy() holds mutex internally, rcu_work is
used, and it is placed as the first member because rcu_head
must be placed within <4K offset. mr_table is alraedy 3864
bytes without rcu_work.
Note that IP6MR is not yet converted to ->exit_rtnl(), so this
change is not needed for now but will be.
However pn_socket_bind() also returns -EINVAL when sk->sk_state is not
TCP_CLOSE, even when the socket has never been bound and pn_port() is
still 0. In that case the BUG_ON() fires and panics the kernel from a
user-triggerable path.
Treat the "bind returned -EINVAL but pn_port() is still 0" case as a
regular error and propagate -EINVAL to the caller instead of crashing.
Existing callers already translate a non-zero return from
pn_socket_autobind() into -ENOBUFS/-EAGAIN, so returning -EINVAL here
only changes behaviour from panic to a normal errno.

net/sched: taprio: fix NULL pointer dereference in class dump
When a TAPRIO child qdisc is deleted via RTM_DELQDISC, taprio_graft()
is called with new == NULL and stores NULL into q->qdiscs[cl - 1].
Subsequent RTM_GETTCLASS dump operations walk all classes via
taprio_walk() and call taprio_dump_class(), which calls taprio_leaf()
returning the NULL pointer, then dereferences it to read child->handle,
causing a kernel NULL pointer dereference.
The bug is reachable with namespace-scoped CAP_NET_ADMIN on any kernel
with CONFIG_NET_SCH_TAPRIO enabled. On systems with unprivileged user
namespaces enabled, an unprivileged local user can trigger a kernel
panic by creating a taprio qdisc inside a new network namespace,
grafting an explicit child qdisc, deleting it, and requesting a class
dump. The RTM_GETTCLASS dump itself requires no capability.
Fix this by substituting &noop_qdisc when new is NULL in
taprio_graft(), a common pattern used by other qdiscs (e.g.,
multiq_graft()) to ensure the q->qdiscs[] slots are never NULL.
This makes control-plane dump paths safe without requiring individual
NULL checks.
Since the data-plane paths (taprio_enqueue and taprio_dequeue_from_txq)
previously had explicit NULL guards that would drop/skip the packet
cleanly, update those checks to test for &noop_qdisc instead. Without
this, packets would reach taprio_enqueue_one() which increments the root
qdisc's qlen and backlog before calling the child's enqueue; noop_qdisc
drops the packet but those counters are never rolled back, permanently
inflating the root qdisc's statistics.
After this change *old can be a valid qdisc, NULL, or &noop_qdisc.
Only call qdisc_put(*old) in the first case to avoid decreasing
noop_qdisc's refcount, which was never increased.

ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv() decompresses an RFC 6554 Source Routing Header, swaps
the next segment into ipv6_hdr->daddr, recompresses, then pulls the old

CmprE>0, seg[0][0] != daddr[0] gives the maximum +8 bytes).
pskb_expand_head() was gated on segments_left == 0, so on earlier

fewer than skb->mac_len bytes in front of data,
skb_mac_header_rebuild()'s call to:
skb_set_mac_header(skb, -skb->mac_len);

past skb->head.

Fix this by expanding the head whenever the remaining room is less than
the push size plus mac_len, and request that much extra so the rebuilt

vrf: Fix a potential NPD when removing a port from a VRF
RCU readers that identified a net device as a VRF port using
netif_is_l3_slave() assume that a subsequent call to
netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() will return a VRF device. They then
continue to dereference its l3mdev operations.
This assumption is not always correct and can result in a NPD [1]. There
is no RCU synchronization when removing a port from a VRF, so it is
possible for an RCU reader to see a new master device (e.g., a bridge)
that does not have l3mdev operations.
Fix by adding RCU synchronization after clearing the IFF_L3MDEV_SLAVE
flag. Skip this synchronization when a net device is removed from a VRF
as part of its deletion and when the VRF device itself is deleted. In
the latter case an RCU grace period will pass by the time RTNL is

====================
netem: bug fixes
These bugs were found when doing AI-assisted review of sch_netem.c
during investigation of the packet duplication recursion problem
addressed in Jamal's series.
The fixes cover:
- probability gaps in the 4-state Markov loss model
- queue limit not accounting for reordered packets
- PRNG reseeded on every tc change, breaking reproducibility
- slot configuration not validated (inverted ranges, negative
delays, negative limits)
- slot delay arithmetic overflow for ranges above ~2.1 seconds
- negative latency and jitter wrapping to huge time_to_send
values via u64 arithmetic
====================
net/sched: netem: check for negative latency and jitter
Reject requests with negative latency or jitter.
A negative value added to current timestamp (u64) wraps
to an enormous time_to_send, disabling dequeue.
The original UAPI used u32 for these values; the conversion to 64-bit
time values via TCA_NETEM_LATENCY64 and TCA_NETEM_JITTER64
allowed signed values to reach the kernel without validation.
Jitter is already silently clamped by an abs() in netem_change();
that abs() can be removed in a follow-up once this rejection is in
place.

get_slot_next() computes a random delay between min_delay and
max_delay using:
get_random_u32() * (max_delay - min_delay) >> 32
This overflows signed 64-bit arithmetic when the delay range exceeds
approximately 2.1 seconds (2^31 nanoseconds), producing a negative
result that effectively disables slot-based pacing. This is a
realistic configuration for WAN emulation (e.g., slot 1s 5s).
Use mul_u64_u32_shr() which handles the widening multiply without
overflow.

Reject slot configurations that have no defensible meaning:
- negative min_delay or max_delay
- min_delay greater than max_delay
- negative dist_delay or dist_jitter
- negative max_packets or max_bytes
Negative or out-of-order delays underflow in get_slot_next(),
producing garbage intervals. Negative limits trip the per-slot
accounting (packets_left/bytes_left <= 0) on the first packet of
every slot, defeating the rate-limiting half of the slot feature.
Note that dist_jitter has been silently coerced to its absolute
value by get_slot() since the feature was introduced; rejecting
negatives here converts that silent coercion into -EINVAL. The
abs() can be removed in a follow-up.

net/sched: netem: only reseed PRNG when seed is explicitly provided
netem_change() unconditionally reseeds the PRNG on every tc change
command. If TCA_NETEM_PRNG_SEED is not specified, a new random seed
is generated, destroying reproducibility for users who set a
deterministic seed on a previous change.
Move the initial random seed generation to netem_init() and only
reseed in netem_change() when TCA_NETEM_PRNG_SEED is explicitly
provided by the user.

The queue limit check in netem_enqueue() uses q->t_len which only

the total queue occupancy to exceed sch->limit under reordering.

net/sched: netem: fix probability gaps in 4-state loss model
The 4-state Markov chain in loss_4state() has gaps at the boundaries
between transition probability ranges. The comparisons use:
if (rnd < a4)
else if (a4 < rnd && rnd < a1 + a4)
When rnd equals a boundary value exactly, neither branch matches and
no state transition occurs. The redundant lower-bound check (a4 < rnd)
is already implied by being in the else branch.
Remove the unnecessary lower-bound comparisons so the ranges are
contiguous and every random value produces a transition, matching
the GI (General and Intuitive) loss model specification.
This bug goes back to original implementation of this model.

clk: bcm: rpi: Mark VEC clock as CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED
On Raspberry Pi 3B, the VEC clock is used by the VideoCore firmware
display driver, which remains active until the vc4 driver loads and
sends NOTIFY_DISPLAY_DONE. If this clock is disabled during boot, a bus
lockup happens and the firmware becomes unresponsive, causing a complete
system lockup.
Mark the VEC clock with CLK_IGNORE_UNUSED so it survives the unused
clock disablement and remains available until the vc4 driver takes over
display management.

Pull ring-buffer fix from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix accounting of persistent ring buffer rewind
On boot up, the head page is moved back to the earliest point of the
saved ring buffer. This is because the ring buffer being read by user
space on a crash may not save the part it read. Rewinding the head
page back to the earliest saved position helps keep those events from
being lost.
The number of events is also read during boot up and displayed in the
stats file in the tracefs directory. It's also used for other
accounting as well. On boot up, the "reader page" is accounted for
but a rewind may put it back into the buffer and then the reader page
may be accounted for again.
Save off the original reader page and skip accounting it when
scanning the pages in the ring buffer.

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
"There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
and strrchr().
Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
unaligned access speed testing.
A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.
Summary:
- Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
strnlen(), and strrchr()

"Delete some obsolete networking code
Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
noobs try to fix them.
If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.
We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so
we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
behind us"

x86/mm: Revert INVLPGB optimization for set_memory code
tl;dr: Revert an INVLPGB optimization that did not properly handle
discontiguous virtual addresses.
Full story:
I got a report from some graphics (i915) folks that bisected a
regression in their test suite to 86e6815b316e ("x86/mm: Change
cpa_flush() to call flush_kernel_range() directly"). There was a bit
of flip-flopping on the exact bisect, but the code here does seem
wrong to me. The i915 folks were calling set_pages_array_wc(), so
using the CPA_PAGES_ARRAY mode.
Basically, the 'struct cpa_data' can wrap up all kinds of page table
changes. Some of these are virtually contiguous, but some are very
much not which is one reason why there are ->vaddr and ->pages arrays.
86e6815b316e made the mistake of assuming that the virtual addresses
in the cpa_data are always contiguous. It got things right when neither
CPA_ARRAY/CPA_PAGES_ARRAY is used, but theoretically wrong when either
of those is used.
In the i915 case, it probably failed to flush some WB TLB entries and
install WC ones, leaving some data in the caches and not flushing it
out to where the device could see it. That eventually caused graphics
problems.
Revert the INVLPGB optimization. It can be reintroduced later, but it
will need to be a bit careful about the array modes.

kbuild: Never respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e to fixdep
The fixdep hostprog may be built multiple times during a single build.
Once during the configuration phase and later during the regular phase.
As only the regular build phase respects CONFIG_WERROR / W=e, the
compiler flags might change between the phases, leading to rebuilds.
Example, the rebuilds will happen twice on each invocation of the build:
$ make allyesconfig prepare
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/deleteme'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
#
# No change to .config
#
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers

Fix the compilation flags used for scripts/basic/ before
scripts/Makefile.warn is evaluated to stop CONFIG_WERROR / W=e
influencing the fixdep build to avoid the spurious rebuilds.

Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
"Including fixes from Netfilter.
Steady stream of fixes. Last two weeks feel comparable to the two
weeks before the merge window. Lots of AI-aided bug discovery. A newer
big source is Sashiko/Gemini (Roman Gushchin's system), which points
out issues in existing code during patch review (maybe 25% of fixes
here likely originating from Sashiko). Nice thing is these are often
fixed by the respective maintainers, not drive-bys.
Current release - new code bugs:
- kconfig: MDIO_PIC64HPSC should depend on ARCH_MICROCHIP
Previous releases - regressions:
- add async ndo_set_rx_mode and switch drivers which we promised to
be called under the per-netdev mutex to it
- dsa: remove duplicate netdev_lock_ops() for conduit ethtool ops
- hv_sock: report EOF instead of -EIO for FIN
- vsock/virtio: fix MSG_PEEK calculation on bytes to copy
Previous releases - always broken:
- ipv6: fix possible UAF in icmpv6_rcv()
- icmp: validate reply type before using icmp_pointers
- af_unix: drop all SCM attributes for SOCKMAP
- netfilter: fix a number of bugs in the osf (OS fingerprinting)
- eth: intel: fix timestamp interrupt configuration for E825C
Misc:
- bunch of data-race annotations"

Remove a number of ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet drivers
These old drivers have not been much of a Maintenance burden until
recently. Now there are more newbies using AI and fuzzers finding
issues, resulting in more work for Maintainers. Fixing these old
drivers make little sense, if it is not clear they have users.
These mostly ISA and PCMCIA Ethernet devices, mostly from the last
century, a couple from 2001 or 2002. It seems unlikely they are still
used. However, remove them one patch at a time so they can be brought
back if somebody still has the hardware, runs modern kernels and wants
to take up the roll of driver Maintainer.

Merge patch series "eventpoll: fix ep_remove() UAF and follow-up cleanup"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
ep_remove() (via __ep_remove_file()) cleared file->f_ep under
file->f_lock but then kept using @file in the same critical section:
is_file_epoll(), hlist_del_rcu() through the head, spin_unlock. A
concurrent __fput() on the watched eventpoll caught the transient
NULL in eventpoll_release()'s lockless fast path, skipped
eventpoll_release_file() entirely, and ran to ep_eventpoll_release()
-> ep_clear_and_put() -> ep_free(). That kfree()s the struct
eventpoll whose embedded ->refs hlist_head is exactly where
epi->fllink.pprev points and the subsequent hlist_del_rcu()'s
"*pprev = next" scribbles into freed kmalloc-192 memory, which is
the slab-use-after-free KASAN caught.
struct file is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU on top of that so the same window
also lets the slot recycle while ep_remove() is still nominally
inside file->f_lock. The upshot is an attacker-influencable
kmem_cache_free() against the wrong slab cache.
The comment on eventpoll_release()'s fast path - "False positives
simply cannot happen because the file in on the way to be removed
and nobody ( but eventpoll ) has still a reference to this file" -
was itself the wrong invariant this race exploits.
The fix pins @file via epi_fget() at the top of ep_remove() and
gates the f_ep clear / hlist_del_rcu() on the pin succeeding. With
the pin held __fput() cannot start which transitively keeps the
watched struct eventpoll alive across the critical section and also
prevents the struct file slot from recycling. Both UAFs are closed.
If the pin fails __fput() is already in flight on @file. Because we
bail before clearing f_ep that path takes eventpoll_release()'s slow
path into eventpoll_release_file() which blocks on ep->mtx until
ep_clear_and_put() drops it and then cleans up the orphaned epi. The
bailed epi's share of ep->refcount stays intact so
ep_clear_and_put()'s trailing ep_refcount_dec_and_test() cannot free
the eventpoll out from under eventpoll_release_file().
With epi_fget() now gating every ep_remove() call the epi->dying
flag becomes vestigial. epi->dying == true always coincides with
file_ref_get() == false because __fput() is reachable only once the
refcount hits zero and the refcount is monotone there. The last
patch drops the flag and leaves a single coordination mechanism
instead of two.
* patches from https://patch.msgid.link/20260423-work-epoll-uaf-v1-0-2470f9eec0f5@kernel.org:
eventpoll: drop vestigial epi->dying flag
eventpoll: drop dead bool return from __ep_remove_epi()
eventpoll: refresh eventpoll_release() fast-path comment
eventpoll: move f_lock acquisition into __ep_remove_file()
eventpoll: fix ep_remove struct eventpoll / struct file UAF
eventpoll: move epi_fget() up
eventpoll: rename ep_remove_safe() back to ep_remove()
eventpoll: kill __ep_remove()
eventpoll: split __ep_remove()
eventpoll: use hlist_is_singular_node() in __ep_remove()
With ep_remove() now pinning @file via epi_fget() across the
f_ep clear and hlist_del_rcu(), the dying flag no longer
orchestrates anything: it was set in eventpoll_release_file()
(which only runs from __fput(), i.e. after @file's refcount has
reached zero) and read in __ep_remove() / ep_remove() as a cheap
bail before attempting the same synchronization epi_fget() now
provides unconditionally.
The implication is simple: epi->dying == true always coincides
with file_ref_get(&file->f_ref) == false, because __fput() is
reachable only once the refcount hits zero and the refcount is
monotone in that state. The READ_ONCE(epi->dying) in ep_remove()
therefore selects exactly the same callers that epi_fget() would
reject, just one atomic cheaper. That's not worth a struct
field, a second coordination mechanism, and the comments on
both.
Refresh the eventpoll_release_file() comment to describe what
actually makes the path race-free now (the pin in ep_remove()).
No functional change: the correctness argument is unchanged,
only the mechanism is now a single one instead of two.
