commit 6f957724b94cb19f5c1c97efd01dd4df8ced323c upstream.

The firmware class uevent function accessed the "fw_priv->buf" buffer
without the proper locking and testing for NULL.  This is an old bug
(looks like it goes back to 2012 and commit 1244691c73b2: "firmware
loader: introduce firmware_buf"), but for some reason it's triggering
only now in 4.2-rc1.

Shuah Khan is trying to bisect what it is that causes this to trigger
more easily, but in the meantime let's just fix the bug since others are
hitting it too (at least Ingo reports having seen it as well).

When using the user mode helper to load firmwares the function _request_firmware
gets a positive return value from fw_load_from_user_helper and because of this
the firmware buffer is not assigned. This happens only when the return value
is zero. This patch fixes this problem in _request_firmware_load. When the
completion is ready the return value is set to zero.

Use the static attribute groups assigned to the device instead of
manual device_create_file() & co calls.  It simplifies the code and
can avoid possible races, too.

Pull driver core patches from Greg KH:
 "Really tiny set of patches for this kernel.  Nothing major, all
  described in the shortlog and have been in linux-next for a while"

* tag 'driver-core-3.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core:
  sysfs: fix warning when creating a sysfs group without attributes
  firmware_loader: handle timeout via wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()
  firmware_loader: abort request if wait_for_completion is interrupted
  firmware: Correct function name in comment
  device: Change dev_<level> logging functions to return void
  device: Fix dev_dbg_once macro

This patch reduces the kernel size by removing error messages that duplicate
the normal OOM message.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr)

@@
identifier f,print,l;
expression e;
constant char[] c;
@@

e = \(kzalloc\|kmalloc\|devm_kzalloc\|devm_kmalloc\)(...);
if (e == NULL) {

  ... when any

It is simpler to handle timeout by wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout(),
so remove previous delay work for timeout.

If current request is interrupted by signal, such as 'ctrl + c',
this request has to be aborted for the following reasons:

	- the buf need to be removed from pending list
	- same requests from other contexts need to be completed

The vunmap() function performes also input parameter validation. Thus the test
around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
