For counter subdevices, the `s-&gt;insn_write` handler is being set to the
wrong function, `ni_tio_insn_read()`.  It should be

commit f0f4b0cc3a8cffd983f5940d46cd0227f3f5710a upstream.

Commit ebb657babfa9 ("staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: clarify the
cmd-&gt;start_arg validation and use") introduced a backwards compatibility
issue in the use of asynchronous commands on the AO subdevice when
`start_src` is `TRIG_EXT`.  Valid values for `start_src` are `TRIG_INT`
(for internal, software trigger), and `TRIG_EXT` (for external trigger).
When set to `TRIG_EXT`.  In both cases, the driver relies on an
internal, software trigger to set things up (allowing the user
application to write sufficient samples to the data buffer before the
trigger), so it acts as a software "pre-trigger" in the `TRIG_EXT` case.
The software trigger is handled by `ni_ao_inttrig()`.

Prior to the above change, when `start_src` was `TRIG_INT`, `start_arg`
was required to be 0, and `ni_ao_inttrig()` checked that the software
trigger number was also 0.  After the above change, when `start_src` was
`TRIG_INT`, any value was allowed for `start_arg`, and `ni_ao_inttrig()`
checked that the software trigger number matched this `start_arg` value.
The backwards compatibility issue is that the internal trigger number
now has to match `start_arg` when `start_src` is `TRIG_EXT` when it
previously had to be 0.

Fix the backwards compatibility issue in `ni_ao_inttrig()` by always
allowing software trigger number 0 when `start_src` is something other
than `TRIG_INT`.

Thanks to Spencer Olson for reporting the issue.

commit 403fe7f34e3327ddac2e06a15e76a293d613381e upstream.

Commit 73e0e4dfed4c ("staging: comedi: comedi_test: fix timer lock-up")
fixed a lock-up in the timer routine `waveform_ai_timer()` (which was
called `waveform_ai_interrupt()` at the time) caused by
commit 240512474424 ("staging: comedi: comedi_test: use
comedi_handle_events()").  However, it introduced a race condition that
can result in the timer routine misbehaving, such as accessing freed
memory or dereferencing a NULL pointer.

73e0... changed the timer routine to do nothing unless a
`WAVEFORM_AI_RUNNING` flag was set, and changed `waveform_ai_cancel()`
to clear the flag and replace a call to `del_timer_sync()` with a call
to `del_timer()`.  `waveform_ai_cancel()` may be called from the timer
routine itself (via `comedi_handle_events()`), or from `do_cancel()`.
(`do_cancel()` is called as a result of a file operation (usually a
`COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl command, or a release), or during device removal.)
When called from `do_cancel()`, the call to `waveform_ai_cancel()` is
followed by a call to `do_become_nonbusy()`, which frees up stuff for
the current asynchronous command under the assumption that it is now
safe to do so.  The race condition occurs when the timer routine
`waveform_ai_timer()` checks the `WAVEFORM_AI_RUNNING` flag just before
it is cleared by `waveform_ai_cancel()`, and is still running during the
call to `do_become_nonbusy()`.  In particular, it can lead to a NULL
pointer dereference:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [&lt;ffffffffc0c63add&gt;] waveform_ai_timer+0x17d/0x290 [comedi_test]

That corresponds to this line in `waveform_ai_timer()`:

		unsigned int chanspec = cmd-&gt;chanlist[async-&gt;cur_chan];

but `do_become_nonbusy()` frees `cmd-&gt;chanlist` and sets it to `NULL`.

Fix the race by calling `del_timer_sync()` instead of `del_timer()` in
`waveform_ai_cancel()` when not in an interrupt context.  The only time
`waveform_ai_cancel()` is called in an interrupt context is when it is
called from the timer routine itself, via `comedi_handle_events()`.

There is no longer any need for the `WAVEFORM_AI_RUNNING` flag, so get
rid of it.

The bug was copied from the AI subdevice to the AO when support for
commands on the AO subdevice was added by commit 0cf55bbef2f9 ("staging:
comedi: comedi_test: implement commands on AO subdevice").  That
involves the timer routine `waveform_ao_timer()`, the comedi "cancel"
routine `waveform_ao_cancel()`, and the flag `WAVEFORM_AO_RUNNING`.  Fix
it in the same way as for the AI subdevice.

commit 80e162ee9b31d77d851b10f8c5299132be1e120f upstream.

`daqboard2000_find_boardinfo()` is supposed to check if the
DaqBoard/2000 series model is supported, based on the PCI subvendor and
subdevice ID.  The current code is wrong as it is comparing the PCI
device's subdevice ID to an expected, fixed value for the subvendor ID.
It should be comparing the PCI device's subvendor ID to this fixed
value.  Correct it.

Commit e6bd18f57aad ("IB/security: Restrict use of the write()
interface") fixed a security problem with various write()
implementations in the Infiniband subsystem.  In older kernel versions
the ipath_write() function has the same problem and needs the same
restriction.  (The ipath driver has been completely removed upstream.)

It's probably harmless in das1800_ai_setup_dma() because the 'desc' pointer
will not be used if DMA is disabled but fix it there also.

commit d375278d666760e195693b57415ba0a125cadd55 upstream.

DMA is optional with this driver. If it was not enabled the devpriv-&gt;dma
pointer will be NULL.

Fix the possible NULL pointer dereference when trying to disable the DMA
channels in das1800_ai_cancel() and tidy up the comments to fix the

commit e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3 upstream.

The drivers/infiniband stack uses write() as a replacement for
bi-directional ioctl().  This is not safe. There are ways to
trigger write calls that result in the return structure that
is normally written to user space being shunted off to user
specified kernel memory instead.

For the immediate repair, detect and deny suspicious accesses to
the write API.

For long term, update the user space libraries and the kernel API
to something that doesn't present the same security vulnerabilities
(likely a structured ioctl() interface).

The impacted uAPI interfaces are generally only available if
hardware from drivers/infiniband is installed in the system.
