[ Upstream commit 6b17a597fc2f13aaaa0a2780eb7edb9ae7ac9aea ]

Probe of Sohard Arcnet cards fails,
if 2 or more cards are installed in a system.

commit 5ef216c1f848 ("arcnet: com20020-pci: add rotary index support")
changes the device name of all COM20020 based PCI cards,
even if only some cards support this:
	snprintf(dev-&gt;name, sizeof(dev-&gt;name), "arc%d-%d", dev-&gt;dev_id, i);

The error happens because all Sohard Arcnet cards would be called arc0-0,
since the Sohard Arcnet cards don't have a PLX rotary coder.
I.e. EAE Arcnet cards have a PLX rotary coder,
which sets the first decimal, ensuring unique devices names.

This patch adds two new card feature flags to indicate
which cards support LEDs and the PLX rotary coder.
For EAE based cards the names still depend on the PLX rotary coder
(untested, since missing EAE hardware).
For Sohard based cards, this patch will result in devices
being called arc0, arc1, ... (tested).

[ Upstream commit 6577b9a551aedb86bca6d4438c28386361845108 ]

There are two issues when handling error case in com20020pci_probe()

1. priv might be not initialized yet when calling com20020pci_remove()
from com20020pci_probe(), since the priv is set at the very last but it
can jump to error handling in the middle and priv remains NULL.
2. memory leak - the net device is allocated in alloc_arcdev but not
properly released if error happens in the middle of the big for loop

<title>net: arcnet: Fix RESET flag handling</title>

[ Upstream commit 01365633bd1c836240f9bbf86bbeee749795480a ]

The main arcnet interrupt handler calls arcnet_close() then
arcnet_open(), if the RESET status flag is encountered.

This is invalid:

  1) In general, interrupt handlers should never call -&gt;ndo_stop() and
     -&gt;ndo_open() functions. They are usually full of blocking calls and
     other methods that are expected to be called only from drivers
     init and exit code paths.

  2) arcnet_close() contains a del_timer_sync(). If the irq handler
     interrupts the to-be-deleted timer, del_timer_sync() will just loop
     forever.

  3) arcnet_close() also calls tasklet_kill(), which has a warning if
     called from irq context.

  4) For device reset, the sequence "arcnet_close(); arcnet_open();" is
     not complete.  Some children arcnet drivers have special init/exit
     code sequences, which then embed a call to arcnet_open() and
     arcnet_close() accordingly. Check drivers/net/arcnet/com20020.c.

Run the device RESET sequence from a scheduled workqueue instead.

commit bd6f1fd5d33dfe5d1b4f2502d3694a7cc13f166d upstream.

During driver initialization, the pointer of card info, i.e. the
variable 'ci' is required. However, the definition of
'com20020pci_id_table' reveals that this field is empty for some
devices, which will cause null pointer dereference when initializing
these devices.

The following log reveals it:

[    3.973806] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f]

Fix this by checking whether the 'ci' is a null pointer first.

[ Upstream commit 108639aac35eb57f1d0e8333f5fc8c7ff68df938 ]

struct archdr is only big enough to hold the header of various types of
arcnet packets. So to provide enough space to hold the data read from
hardware provide a buffer large enough to hold a packet with maximal
size.

The problem was noticed by the stack protector which makes the kernel
oops.

[ Upstream commit 108639aac35eb57f1d0e8333f5fc8c7ff68df938 ]

struct archdr is only big enough to hold the header of various types of
arcnet packets. So to provide enough space to hold the data read from
hardware provide a buffer large enough to hold a packet with maximal
size.

The problem was noticed by the stack protector which makes the kernel
oops.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
