    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    powerpc/iommu: Fix notifiers being shared by PCI and VIO buses

    fail_iommu_setup() registers the fail_iommu_bus_notifier struct to both
    PCI and VIO buses.  struct notifier_block is a linked list node, so this
    causes any notifiers later registered to either bus type to also be
    registered to the other since they share the same node.

    This causes issues in (at least) the vgaarb code, which registers a
    notifier for PCI buses.  pci_notify() ends up being called on a vio
    device, converted with to_pci_dev() even though it's not a PCI device,
    and finally makes a bad access in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() as
    discovered with KASAN:

     BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vga_arbiter_add_pci_device+0x60/0xe00
     Read of size 4 at addr c000000264c26fdc by task swapper/0/1

    Fix this by creating separate notifier_block structs for each bus type.
