commit e58f95831e7468d25eb6e41f234842ecfe6f014f upstream.

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.

commit c1d5f8ff80ea84768f5fae1ca9d1abfbb5e6bbaa upstream.

This patch removes BUG_ON() macro from mlx4_alloc_icm_coherent()
by checking DMA address alignment in advance and performing proper
folding in case of error.

commit e6afb1ad88feddf2347ea779cfaf4d03d3cd40b6 upstream.

Commit beb0babfb77e ("korina: disable napi on close and restart")
introduced calls to napi_disable() that were missing before,
unfortunately this leaves a small window during which NAPI has a chance
to run, yet we just freed resources since korina_free_ring() has been
called:

Fix this by disabling NAPI first then freeing resource, and make sure
that we also cancel the restart task before doing the resource freeing.

commit cd224553641848dd17800fe559e4ff5d208553e8 upstream.

xilinx_emaclite looks at the received data to try to determine the
Ethernet packet length but does not properly clamp it if
proto_type == ETH_P_IP or 1500 &lt; proto_type &lt;= 1518, causing a buffer
overflow and a panic via skb_panic() as the length exceeds the allocated
skb size.

Fix those cases.

Also add an additional unconditional check with WARN_ON() at the end.

<title>net/mlx4_core: Fix VF overwrite of module param which disables DMFS on new probed PFs</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 95f1ba9a24af9769f6e20dfe9a77c863f253f311 upstream.

In the VF driver, module parameter mlx4_log_num_mgm_entry_size was
mistakenly overwritten -- and in a manner which overrode the
device-managed flow steering option encoded in the parameter.

log_num_mgm_entry_size is a global module parameter which
affects all ConnectX-3 PFs installed on that host.
If a VF changes log_num_mgm_entry_size, this will affect all PFs
which are probed subsequent to the change (by disabling DMFS for
those PFs).

Sometimes firmware may not properly initialize I347AT4_PAGE_SELECT causing
the probe of an igb i210 NIC to fail. This patch adds an addition zeroing
of this register during igb_get_phy_id to workaround this issue.

commit d43e6fb4ac4abfe4ef7c102833ed02330ad701e0 upstream.

The #warning was present 10 years ago when the driver first got merged.
As the platform is rather obsolete by now, it seems very unlikely that
the warning will cause anyone to fix the code properly.

kernelci.org reports the warning for every build in the meantime, so
I think it's better to just turn it into a code comment to reduce
noise.

commit 65870fa77fd7f83d7be4ed924d47ed9e3831f434 upstream.

Until interface is up [and assuming ringparams weren't explicitly
configured] when queried for the size of its rings bnx2x would
claim they're the maximal size by default.
That is incorrect as by default the maximal number of buffers would
be equally divided between the various rx rings.

This prevents the user from actually setting the number of elements
on each rx ring to be of maximal size prior to transitioning the
interface into up state.

To fix this, make a rough estimation about the number of buffers.
It wouldn't always be accurate, but it would be much better than
current estimation and would allow users to increase number of
buffers during early initialization of the interface.

commit d667f78514c656a6a8bf0b3d6134a7fe5cd4d317 upstream.

We received two reports of BUG_ON in bnad_txcmpl_process() where
hw_consumer_index appeared to be ahead of producer_index. Out of order
write/read of these variables could explain these reports.

bnad_start_xmit(), as a producer of tx descriptors, has a few memory
barriers sprinkled around writes to producer_index and the device's
doorbell but they're not paired with anything in bnad_txcmpl_process(), a
consumer.

Since we are synchronizing with a device, we must use mandatory barriers,
not smp_*. Also, I didn't see the purpose of the last smp_mb() in
bnad_start_xmit().

commit d667f78514c656a6a8bf0b3d6134a7fe5cd4d317 upstream.

We received two reports of BUG_ON in bnad_txcmpl_process() where
hw_consumer_index appeared to be ahead of producer_index. Out of order
write/read of these variables could explain these reports.

bnad_start_xmit(), as a producer of tx descriptors, has a few memory
barriers sprinkled around writes to producer_index and the device's
doorbell but they're not paired with anything in bnad_txcmpl_process(), a
consumer.

Since we are synchronizing with a device, we must use mandatory barriers,
not smp_*. Also, I didn't see the purpose of the last smp_mb() in
bnad_start_xmit().
