commit 9de981f507474f326e42117858dc9a9321331ae5 upstream.

In struct ieee80211_tx_info, control.vif pointer and rate_driver_data[0]
falls on the same place, depending on the union usage.
During the whole TX process, the union is referred to as a control struct,
which holds the vif that is later used in the tx flow, especially in order
to derive the used tx power.
Referring direcly to rate_driver_data[0] and assigning a value to it,
overwrites the vif pointer, hence making all later references irrelevant.
Moreover, rate_driver_data[0] isn't used later in the flow in order to
retrieve the channel that it is pointing to.

[ 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 25cc72a33835ed8a6f53180a822cadab855852ac ]

The mlxsw driver relies on NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER events to configure the
device in case a port is enslaved to a master netdev such as bridge or
bond.

Since the driver ignores events unrelated to its ports and their
uppers, it's possible to engineer situations in which the device's data
path differs from the kernel's.

One example to such a situation is when a port is enslaved to a bond
that is already enslaved to a bridge. When the bond was enslaved the
driver ignored the event - as the bond wasn't one of its uppers - and
therefore a bridge port instance isn't created in the device.

Until such configurations are supported forbid them by checking that the
upper device doesn't have uppers of its own.

[ 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 0f3086868e8889a823a6e0f3d299102aa895d947 ]

Passing commands for logging to t4_record_mbox() with size
MBOX_LEN, when the actual command size is actually smaller,
causes out-of-bounds stack accesses in t4_record_mbox() while
copying command words here:

	for (i = 0; i &lt; size / 8; i++)
		entry-&gt;cmd[i] = be64_to_cpu(cmd[i]);

Up to 48 bytes from the stack are then leaked to debugfs.

This happens whenever we send (and log) commands described by
structs fw_sched_cmd (32 bytes leaked), fw_vi_rxmode_cmd (48),
fw_hello_cmd (48), fw_bye_cmd (48), fw_initialize_cmd (48),
fw_reset_cmd (48), fw_pfvf_cmd (32), fw_eq_eth_cmd (16),
fw_eq_ctrl_cmd (32), fw_eq_ofld_cmd (32), fw_acl_mac_cmd(16),
fw_rss_glb_config_cmd(32), fw_rss_vi_config_cmd(32),
fw_devlog_cmd(32), fw_vi_enable_cmd(48), fw_port_cmd(32),
fw_sched_cmd(32), fw_devlog_cmd(32).

The cxgb4vf driver got this right instead.

When we call t4_record_mbox() to log a command reply, a MBOX_LEN
size can be used though, as get_mbox_rpl() will fill cmd_rpl up
completely.

There is a deadlock possible when canceling the link status
delayed work queue. The removal process is run with RTNL held,
and the link status callback is acquring RTNL.

Resolve the issue by using trylock and rescheduling.
If cancel is in process, that block it from happening.

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit a1a50c8e4c241a505b7270e1a3c6e50d94e794b1 ]

Junote Cai reported that he was not able to get a DSA setup involving the
Freescale DPAA/FMAN driver to work and narrowed it down to
of_find_net_device_by_node(). This function requires the network device's
device reference to be correctly set which is the case here, though we have
lost any device_node association there.

The problem is that dpaa_eth_add_device() allocates a "dpaa-ethernet" platform
device, and later on dpaa_eth_probe() is called but SET_NETDEV_DEV() won't be
propagating &amp;pdev-&gt;dev.of_node properly. Fix this by inherenting both the parent
device and the of_node when dpaa_eth_add_device() creates the platform device.

commit 4b5dde2d6234ff5bc68e97e6901d1f2a0a7f3749 upstream.

mwifiex records information about various channels as it receives scan
information. It does this by appending to a buffer that was sized
to the max number of supported channels on any band, but there are
numerous problems:

(a) scans can return info from more than one band (e.g., both 2.4 and 5
    GHz), so the determined "max" is not large enough
(b) some firmware appears to return multiple results for a given
    channel, so the max *really* isn't large enough
(c) there is no bounds checking when stashing these stats, so problems
    (a) and (b) can easily lead to buffer overflows

Let's patch this by setting a slightly-more-correct max (that accounts
for a combination of both 2.4G and 5G bands) and adding a bounds check
when writing to our statistics buffer.

Due to problem (b), we still might not properly report all known survey
information (e.g., with "iw &lt;dev&gt; survey dump"), since duplicate results
(or otherwise "larger than expected" results) will cause some
truncation. But that's a problem for a future bugfix.

(And because of this known deficiency, only log the excess at the WARN
level, since that isn't visible by default in this driver and would
otherwise be a bit too noisy.)
