[ Upstream commit 0a744d927406389e00687560d9ce3c5ab0e58db9 ]

Station pointers are RCU protected so driver must
be extra careful if it tries to store them
internally for later use outside of the RCU
section it obtained it in.

It was possible for station teardown to race with
some htt events. The possible outcome could be a
use-after-free and a crash.

Only peer-flow-control capable firmware was
affected (so hardware-wise qca99x0 and qca4019).

This could be done in sta_state() itself via
explicit synchronize_net() call but there's
already a convenient sta_pre_rcu_remove() op that
can be hooked up to avoid extra rcu stall.

The peer-&gt;sta pointer itself can't be set to
NULL/ERR_PTR because it is later used in
sta_state() for extra sanity checks.

<title>ath10k: fix memory leak in rx ring buffer allocation</title>

commit f35a7f91f66af528b3ee1921de16bea31d347ab0 upstream.

The rx ring buffers are added to a hash table if
firmware support full rx reorder. If the full rx
reorder support flag is not set before allocating
the rx ring buffers, none of the buffers are added
to the hash table.

There is a race condition between rx ring refill and
rx buffer replenish from napi poll. The interrupts are
enabled in hif start, before the rx ring is refilled during init.
We replenish buffers from napi poll due to the interrupts which
get enabled after hif start. Hence before the entire rx ring is
refilled during the init, the napi poll replenishes a few buffers
in steps of 100 buffers per attempt. During this rx ring replenish
from napi poll, the rx reorder flag has not been set due to which
the replenished buffers are not added to the hash table

Set the rx full reorder support flag before we allocate
the rx ring buffer to avoid the memory leak.

commit dfb5b098e0f40b68aa07f2ec55f4dd762efefbfa upstream.

When FW crashes with no_fw_recovery option, driver
waits for manual recovery with wil-&gt;mutex held, this
can easily create deadlocks.
Fix the problem by moving the wait outside the lock.

commit 18ae68fff392e445af3c2d8be9bef8a16e1c72a7 upstream.

WMI ops wrappers did not properly check for null
function pointers for spectral scan. This caused
null dereference crash with WMI-TLV based firmware
which doesn't implement spectral scan.

The crash could be triggered with:

  ip link set dev wlan0 up
  echo background &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/spectral_scan_ctl

The crash looked like this:

commit 07246c115801c27652700e3679bb58661ef7ed65 upstream.

The bug was triggered when do suspend/resuming continuously
on Dell XPS L322X/0PJHXN version 9333 (2013) with kernel
4.12.0-041200rc4-generic. But can't reproduce on DELL
E5440 + AR9300 PCIE chips.

The warning is caused by accessing invalid pointer sc-&gt;rng_task.
sc-&gt;rng_task is not be cleared after kthread_stop(sc-&gt;rng_task)
be called in ath9k_rng_stop(). Because the kthread is stopped
before ath9k_rng_kthread() be scheduled.

So set sc-&gt;rng_task to null after kthread_stop(sc-&gt;rng_task) to
resolve this issue.

commit cf8ce1ea61b75712a154c93e40f2a5af2e4dd997 upstream.

One scenario that could lead to UAF is two threads writing
simultaneously to the "tx99" debug file. One of them would
set the "start" value to true and follow to ath9k_tx99_init().
Inside the function it would set the sc-&gt;tx99_state to true
after allocating sc-&gt;tx99skb. Then, the other thread would
execute write_file_tx99() and call ath9k_tx99_deinit().
sc-&gt;tx99_state would be freed. After that, the first thread
would continue inside ath9k_tx99_init() and call
r = ath9k_tx99_send(sc, sc-&gt;tx99_skb, &amp;txctl);
that would make use of the freed sc-&gt;tx99_skb memory.

commit b08b5b53a1ed2bd7a883f8fd29232c8f03604671 upstream.

Similarly to QCA6174, QCA9377 requires the CE5 configuration to be
available for other feature. Use the ath10k_pci_override_ce_config()
for it as well.

This is required for TF2.0 firmware. Previous FW revisions were
working fine without this patch.

<title>ath10k: fix napi crash during rmmod when probe firmware fails</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 1427228d5869f5804b03d47acfa4a88122572a78 upstream.

This fixes the below crash when ath10k probe firmware fails, NAPI polling tries
to access a rx ring resource which was never allocated. An easy way to
reproduce this is easy to remove all the firmware files, load ath10k modules
and ath10k will crash when calling 'rmmod ath10k_pci'. The fix is to call
napi_enable() from ath10k_pci_hif_start() so that it matches with
napi_disable() being called from ath10k_pci_hif_stop().

Big thanks to Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan who debugged this and provided first
version of the fix. In this patch I just fix the actual problem in pci.c
instead of having a workaround in core.c.

commit ebeb36670ecac36c179b5fb5d5c88ff03ba191ec upstream.

Make sure to check the number of endpoints to avoid dereferencing a
NULL-pointer or accessing memory beyond the endpoint array should a
malicious device lack the expected endpoints.
