commit 35f62727df0ed8e5e4857e162d94fd46d861f1cf upstream.

The driver was not properly configuring firmware with regard to the
type of scan. It always performed an active scan even when user-space
was requesting for passive scan, ie. the scan request was done without
any SSIDs specified.

commit 2e1c42391ff2556387b3cb6308b24f6f65619feb upstream.

Andrey Konovalov reported a possible out-of-bounds problem for the
cdc_parse_cdc_header function.  He writes:
	It looks like cdc_parse_cdc_header() doesn't validate buflen
	before accessing buffer[1], buffer[2] and so on. The only check
	present is while (buflen &gt; 0).

So fix this issue up by properly validating the buffer length matches
what the descriptor says it is.

commit 01a9c948a09348950515bf2abb6113ed83e696d8 upstream.

The OTP in some SKUs have erroneously allowed 40MHz and 80MHz channels
in the 5.2GHz band.  The firmware has been modified to not allow this
in those SKUs, so the driver needs to do the same otherwise the
firmware will assert when we try to use it.

<title>igb: re-assign hw address pointer on reset after PCI error</title>

[ Upstream commit 69b97cf6dbce7403845a28bbc75d57f5be7b12ac ]

Whenever the igb driver detects the result of a read operation returns
a value composed only by F's (like 0xFFFFFFFF), it will detach the
net_device, clear the hw_addr pointer and warn to the user that adapter's
link is lost - those steps happen on igb_rd32().

In case a PCI error happens on Power architecture, there's a recovery
mechanism called EEH, that will reset the PCI slot and call driver's
handlers to reset the adapter and network functionality as well.

We observed that once hw_addr is NULL after the error is detected on
igb_rd32(), it's never assigned back, so in the process of resetting
the network functionality we got a NULL pointer dereference in both
igb_configure_tx_ring() and igb_configure_rx_ring(). In order to avoid
such bug, this patch re-assigns the hw_addr value in the slot_reset
handler.

[ Upstream commit 5d621672bc1a1e5090c1ac5432a18c79e0e13e03 ]

The wrong register is checked for the Tx flow control bit,
it should have been maccfg1 not maccfg2.
This went unnoticed for so long probably because the impact is
hardly visible, not to mention the tangled code from adjust_link().
First, link flow control (i.e. handling of Rx/Tx link level pause frames)
is disabled by default (needs to be enabled via 'ethtool -A').
Secondly, maccfg2 always returns 0 for tx_flow_oldval (except for a few
old boards), which results in Tx flow control remaining always on
once activated.

[ Upstream commit ebc8254aeae34226d0bc8fda309fd9790d4dccfe ]

This reverts commit 7ad813f208533cebfcc32d3d7474dc1677d1b09a ("net: phy:
Correctly process PHY_HALTED in phy_stop_machine()") because it is
creating the possibility for a NULL pointer dereference.

David Daney provide the following call trace and diagram of events:

When ndo_stop() is called we call:

 phy_disconnect()
    +---&gt; phy_stop_interrupts() implies: phydev-&gt;irq = PHY_POLL;
    +---&gt; phy_stop_machine()
    |      +---&gt; phy_state_machine()
    |              +----&gt; queue_delayed_work(): Work queued.
    +---&gt;phy_detach() implies: phydev-&gt;attached_dev = NULL;

Now at a later time the queued work does:

 phy_state_machine()
    +----&gt;netif_carrier_off(phydev-&gt;attached_dev): Oh no! It is NULL:

The original motivation for this change originated from Marc Gonzales
indicating that his network driver did not have its adjust_link callback
executing with phydev-&gt;link = 0 while he was expecting it.

PHYLIB has never made any such guarantees ever because phy_stop() merely just
tells the workqueue to move into PHY_HALTED state which will happen
asynchronously.

[ Upstream commit ebc8254aeae34226d0bc8fda309fd9790d4dccfe ]

This reverts commit 7ad813f208533cebfcc32d3d7474dc1677d1b09a ("net: phy:
Correctly process PHY_HALTED in phy_stop_machine()") because it is
creating the possibility for a NULL pointer dereference.

David Daney provide the following call trace and diagram of events:

When ndo_stop() is called we call:

 phy_disconnect()
    +---&gt; phy_stop_interrupts() implies: phydev-&gt;irq = PHY_POLL;
    +---&gt; phy_stop_machine()
    |      +---&gt; phy_state_machine()
    |              +----&gt; queue_delayed_work(): Work queued.
    +---&gt;phy_detach() implies: phydev-&gt;attached_dev = NULL;

Now at a later time the queued work does:

 phy_state_machine()
    +----&gt;netif_carrier_off(phydev-&gt;attached_dev): Oh no! It is NULL:

<title>qlge: avoid memcpy buffer overflow</title>

[ Upstream commit e58f95831e7468d25eb6e41f234842ecfe6f014f ]

gcc-8.0.0 (snapshot) points out that we copy a variable-length string
into a fixed length field using memcpy() with the destination length,
and that ends up copying whatever follows the string:

    inlined from 'ql_core_dump' at drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/qlge_dbg.c:1106:2:
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/qlge_dbg.c:708:2: error: 'memcpy' reading 15 bytes from a region of size 14 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
  memcpy(seg_hdr-&gt;description, desc, (sizeof(seg_hdr-&gt;description)) - 1);

Changing it to use strncpy() will instead zero-pad the destination,
which seems to be the right thing to do here.

The bug is probably harmless, but it seems like a good idea to address
it in stable kernels as well, if only for the purpose of building with
gcc-8 without warnings.
