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

nubus: Partially revert proc_create_single_data() conversion

The conversion to proc_create_single_data() introduced a regression
whereby reading a file in /proc/bus/nubus results in a seg fault:

    # grep -r . /proc/bus/nubus/e/
    Data read fault at 0x00000020 in Super Data (pc=0x1074c2)

    Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

    Segmentation fault

The proc_create_single_data() conversion does not work because
single_open(file, nubus_proc_rsrc_show, PDE_DATA(inode)) is not
equivalent to the original code.
