In commit a7959c1, the USB part of rtlwifi was switched to convert _usb_read_sync() to using a preallocated buffer rather than one that has been acquired using kmalloc. Although this routine is named as though it were synchronous, there seem to be simultaneous users, and the selection of the index to the data buffer is not multi-user safe.

commit 3ce4d85b76010525adedcc2555fa164bf706a2f3 upstream.

In commit a7959c1, the USB part of rtlwifi was switched to convert
_usb_read_sync() to using a preallocated buffer rather than one
that has been acquired using kmalloc. Although this routine is named
as though it were synchronous, there seem to be simultaneous users,
and the selection of the index to the data buffer is not multi-user
safe. This situation is addressed by adding a new spinlock. The routine
cannot sleep, thus a mutex is not allowed.

rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Fix phy-based version calculation 2012-08-02T13:37:51+00:00 Forest Bond forest.bond@rapidrollout.com 2012-07-13T16:26:06+00:00 f46edd5989ae87bd9eb05041c3d275ccc4abe081 commit f1b00f4dab29b57bdf1bc03ef12020b280fd2a72 upstream. Commit d83579e2a50ac68389e6b4c58b845c702cf37516 incorporated some changes from the vendor driver that made it newly important that the calculated hardware version correctly include the CHIP_92D bit, as all of the IS_92D_* macros were changed to depend on it. However, this bit was being unset for dual-mac, dual-phy devices. The vendor driver behavior was modified to not do this, but unfortunately this change was not picked up along with the others. This caused scanning in the 2.4GHz band to be broken, and possibly other bugs as well. This patch brings the version calculation logic in parity with the vendor driver in this regard, and in doing so fixes the regression. However, the version calculation code in general continues to be largely incoherent and messy, and needs to be cleaned up.

The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from within mac80211.

commit a7959c1394d4126a70a53b914ce4105f5173d0aa upstream.

The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When
_usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is
reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.
The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could
be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
