[ Not relevant upstream, therefore no upstream commit. ]

To fix, unmap the page as soon as possible.

When swiotlb is in use, calling dma_unmap_page means that
the original page mapped with dma_map_page must still be valid,
as swiotlb will copy data from its internal cache back to the
originally requested DMA location.

When GRO is enabled, before this patch all references to the
original frag may be put and the page freed before dma_unmap_page
in mlx4_en_free_frag is called.

It is possible there is a path where the use-after-free occurs
even with GRO disabled, but this has not been observed so far.

The bug can be trivially detected by doing the following:

* Compile the kernel with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
* Run the kernel as a Xen Dom0
* Leave GRO enabled on the interface
* Run a 10 second or more test with iperf over the interface.

This bug was likely introduced in
commit 4cce66cdd14a ("mlx4_en: map entire pages to increase throughput"),
first part of u3.6.

It was incidentally fixed in
commit 34db548bfb95 ("mlx4: add page recycling in receive path"),
first part of v4.12.

This version applies to the v4.9 series.

commit fb239c1209bb0f0b4830cc72507cc2f2d63fadbd upstream.

In _rtl92c_get_txpower_writeval_by_regulatory() the variable writeVal
is assigned to itself in an if ... else statement, apparently only to
document that the branch condition is handled and that a previously read
value should be returned unmodified. The self-assignment causes clang to
raise the following warning:

drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rf.c:304:13:
  error: explicitly assigning value of variable of type 'u32'
    (aka 'unsigned int') to itself [-Werror,-Wself-assign]
  writeVal = writeVal;

Delete the branch with the self-assignment.

[ Upstream commit 15d2ee42a3087089e73ad52fd8c1b37ab496b87c ]

A dma_wmb() is used to guarantee the ordering, with respect to
other writes, to cache coherent DMA memory.

There is a dma_wmb() in prepare_tx_desc()/prepare_tso_tx_desc() which
ensures that TDES0/1/2 is written before TDES3 (which contains the own
bit), for First Desc.

However, in the rare case that MSS changes, there will be a MSS
context descriptor in front of the regular DMA descriptors:

&lt;MSS desc&gt; &lt;- DMA Next Descriptor
&lt;First Desc&gt;
&lt;desc n&gt;
&lt;Last Desc&gt;

Thus, for this special case, we need a dma_wmb()
after prepare_tso_tx_desc()/before writing the own bit to the MSS desc,
so that we flush the write to TDES3 for First Desc,
in order to ensure that the MSS descriptor is the last descriptor to
set the own bit.

[ Upstream commit a6b25da5e7ba212af5826a662e6a035a79bffabd ]

According to Documentation/memory-barriers.txt, we need to use a
dma_rmb() after reading the status/own bit, to ensure that all
descriptor fields are read after reading the own bit.

This way, we ensure that the DMA engine is done with the DMA
descriptor before we read the other descriptor fields, e.g. reading
the tx hardware timestamp (if PTP is enabled).

[ Upstream commit bda7fab54828bbef2164bb23c0f6b1a7d05cc718 ]

The operstate update logic will leave an interface in the
default UNKNOWN operstate if the interface carrier state never changes
from the default carrier up state set at creation.  This includes the
case of an explicit call to netif_carrier_on, as the carrier on to on
transition has no effect on operstate.

	This affects virtio-net for the case that the virtio peer does
not support VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS (the feature that provides carrier state
updates).  Without this feature, the virtio specification states that
"the link should be assumed active," so, logically, the operstate should
be UP instead of UNKNOWN.  This has impact on user space applications
that use the operstate to make availability decisions for the interface.

	Resolve this by changing the virtio probe logic slightly to call
netif_carrier_off for both the "with" and "without" VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS
cases, and then the existing call to netif_carrier_on for the "without"
case will cause an operstate transition.

When NetworkManager is enabled, there are chances that interface up
is called even before probe completes. This means we have not yet
allocated the FW sge queues, hence rest of ingress queue allocation
wont be proper. Fix this by calling setup_fw_sge_queues() before
register_netdev().

[ Upstream commit 8b2d93dd22615cb7f3046a5a2083a6f8bb8052ed ]

When attempt to run worker (ath10k_sta_rc_update_wk) after the station object
(ieee80211_sta) delete will trigger the kernel panic.

This problem arise in AP + Mesh configuration, Where the current node AP VAP
and neighbor node mesh VAP MAC address are same. When the current mesh node
try to establish the mesh link with neighbor node, driver peer creation for
the neighbor mesh node fails due to duplication MAC address. Already the AP
VAP created with same MAC address.

It is caused by the following scenario steps.

Steps:
1. In above condition, ath10k driver sta_state callback (ath10k_sta_state)
   fails to do the state change for a station from IEEE80211_STA_NOTEXIST
   to IEEE80211_STA_NONE due to peer creation fails. Sta_state callback is
   called from ieee80211_add_station() to handle the new station
   (neighbor mesh node) request from the wpa_supplicant.
2. Concurrently ath10k receive the sta_rc_update callback notification from
   the mesh_neighbour_update() to handle the beacon frames of the above
   neighbor mesh node. since its atomic callback, ath10k driver queue the
   work (ath10k_sta_rc_update_wk) to handle rc update.
3. Due to driver sta_state callback fails (step 1), mac80211 free the station
   object.
4. When the worker (ath10k_sta_rc_update_wk) scheduled to run, it will access
   the station object which is already deleted. so it will trigger kernel
   panic.

Added the peer exist check in sta_rc_update callback before queue the work.

[ Upstream commit 957f6ba8adc7be401a74ccff427e4cfd88d3bfcb ]

The system with CONFIG_UBSAN enabled on produces the following error
during driver initialization. The reason to it that max_reg_cmds can be
larger enough to cause to "1 &lt;&lt; max_reg_cmds" overflow the unsigned long.
