* kernel: SUNRPC: pin upper rpc_clnt across the TLS connect_worker (CVE-2026-72317)
* kernel: ipvlan: inherit needed_headroom and needed_tailroom from phy_dev (CVE-2026-74744)
* kernel: nfsd: defer vfree of compound ops to fix rpc_status UAF (CVE-2026-89690)
* kernel: nfsd: initialize copy-notify stateid before publishing it (CVE-2026-89669)
* kernel: svcrdma: Reject inline replies that overflow the pull-up buffer (CVE-2026-89530)
* kernel: nfsd: revoke copy-notify stateids before dropping their reference (CVE-2026-89663)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

* "iavf: refactor iavf_clean_rx_irq to support legacy and flex descriptors" broke rx-vlan-offload on almalinux-9.7 [almalinux-9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-169480)
* [GNR-D] missing interfaces tspll_cfg (JIRA:AlmaLinux-183201)
* AlmaLinux9.8z KVM guest panicked in vmmouse driver (JIRA:AlmaLinux-186577)
* Add Epson RX8111 support to AlmaLinux9.9 [almalinux-9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-212014)
* RT scheduler livelock: migrate-disabled task at pushable-list head causes repeated RT push/stopper retries, starving a critical RT task (remaining issue after CVE-2026-45919 fix in 94894c9c477e) [almalinux-9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-256279)
