[ Upstream commit 76ce17f6f7f78ab79b9741388bdb4dafa985b4e9 ]

The save_iaa_wq() function unconditionally returns 0, even when an error
is encountered. This prevents the error code from being propagated to the
caller.

Fix this by returning the 'ret' variable, which holds the actual status
of the operations within the function.

[ Upstream commit 4c634b6b3c77bba237ee64bca172e73f9cee0cb2 ]

As noted in the kernel documentation [1], open-coded multiplication in
allocator arguments is discouraged because it can lead to integer overflow.

Use kcalloc() to gain built-in overflow protection, making memory
allocation safer when calculating allocation size compared to explicit
multiplication.  Similarly, use size_add() instead of explicit addition
for 'uobj_chunk_num + sobj_chunk_num'.

The function adf_dev_autoreset() is only used within adf_aer.c and does
not need to be exposed outside the compilation unit.  Make it static and
remove it from the header adf_common_drv.h.

This does not introduce any functional change.

<title>crypto: qat - fix DMA direction for compression on GEN2 devices</title>

<content type='text'>
QAT devices perform an additional integrity check during compression by
decompressing the output. Starting from QAT GEN4, this verification is
done in-line by the hardware. However, on GEN2 devices, the hardware
reads back the compressed output from the destination buffer and performs
a decompression operation using it as the source.

In the current QAT driver, destination buffers are always marked as
write-only. This is incorrect for QAT GEN2 compression, where the buffer
is also read during verification. Since commit 6f5dc7658094
("iommu/vt-d: Restore WO permissions on second-level paging entries"),
merged in v6.16-rc1, write-only permissions are strictly enforced, leading
to DMAR errors when using QAT GEN2 devices for compression, if VT-d is
enabled.

Mark the destination buffers as DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. This ensures
compatibility with GEN2 devices, even though it is not required for
QAT GEN4 and later.

<title>crypto: qat - flush misc workqueue during device shutdown</title>

<id>3d4df408ba9bad2b205c7fb8afc1836a6a4ca88a</id>
<content type='text'>
Repeated loading and unloading of a device specific QAT driver, for
example qat_4xxx, in a tight loop can lead to a crash due to a
use-after-free scenario. This occurs when a power management (PM)
interrupt triggers just before the device-specific driver (e.g.,
qat_4xxx.ko) is unloaded, while the core driver (intel_qat.ko) remains
loaded.

Since the driver uses a shared workqueue (`qat_misc_wq`) across all
devices and owned by intel_qat.ko, a deferred routine from the
device-specific driver may still be pending in the queue. If this
routine executes after the driver is unloaded, it can dereference freed
memory, resulting in a page fault and kernel crash like the following:

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffa000002e50a01c
    #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
    RIP: 0010:pm_bh_handler+0x1d2/0x250 [intel_qat]
    Call Trace:
      pm_bh_handler+0x1d2/0x250 [intel_qat]
      process_one_work+0x171/0x340
      worker_thread+0x277/0x3a0
      kthread+0xf0/0x120
      ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50

To prevent this, flush the misc workqueue during device shutdown to
ensure that all pending work items are completed before the driver is
unloaded.

Note: This approach may slightly increase shutdown latency if the
workqueue contains jobs from other devices, but it ensures correctness
and stability.

Repeated loading and unloading of a device specific QAT driver, for
example qat_4xxx, in a tight loop can lead to a crash due to a
use-after-free scenario. This occurs when a power management (PM)
interrupt triggers just before the device-specific driver (e.g.,
qat_4xxx.ko) is unloaded, while the core driver (intel_qat.ko) remains
loaded.

Since the driver uses a shared workqueue (`qat_misc_wq`) across all
devices and owned by intel_qat.ko, a deferred routine from the
device-specific driver may still be pending in the queue. If this
routine executes after the driver is unloaded, it can dereference freed
memory, resulting in a page fault and kernel crash like the following:

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffa000002e50a01c
    #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
    RIP: 0010:pm_bh_handler+0x1d2/0x250 [intel_qat]
    Call Trace:
      pm_bh_handler+0x1d2/0x250 [intel_qat]
      process_one_work+0x171/0x340
      worker_thread+0x277/0x3a0
      kthread+0xf0/0x120
      ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50

To prevent this, flush the misc workqueue during device shutdown to
ensure that all pending work items are completed before the driver is
unloaded.

Note: This approach may slightly increase shutdown latency if the
workqueue contains jobs from other devices, but it ensures correctness
and stability.
