[ Upstream commit 6b67d4d63edece1033972214704c04f36c5be89a ]

Currently phy_device state could be left in inconsistent state shown
by following alert message[1]. This is because phy_read_status could
be called concurrently from lan78xx_delayedwork, phy_state_machine and
__ethtool_get_link. Fix this by making sure that phy_device state is
updated atomically.

<title>net: pegasus: fix uninit-value in get_interrupt_interval</title>

[ Upstream commit af35fc37354cda3c9c8cc4961b1d24bdc9d27903 ]

Syzbot reported uninit value pegasus_probe(). The problem was in missing
error handling.

get_interrupt_interval() internally calls read_eprom_word() which can
fail in some cases. For example: failed to receive usb control message.
These cases should be handled to prevent uninit value bug, since
read_eprom_word() will not initialize passed stack variable in case of
internal failure.

Fail log:

[ Upstream commit 9c23aa51477a37f8b56c3c40192248db0663c196 ]

rtl8152_close() takes the refcount via usb_autopm_get_interface() but
it doesn't release when RTL8152_UNPLUG test hits.  This may lead to
the imbalance of PM refcount.  This patch addresses it.

[ Upstream commit 99718abdc00e86e4f286dd836408e2834886c16e ]

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally reading across neighboring array fields.

The memcpy() is copying the entire structure, not just the first array.
Adjust the source argument so the compiler can do appropriate bounds
checking.

The commit 46a8b29c6306 ("net: usb: fix memory leak in smsc75xx_bind")
fails to clean up the work scheduled in smsc75xx_reset-&gt;
smsc75xx_set_multicast, which leads to use-after-free if the work is
scheduled to start after the deallocation. In addition, this patch
also removes a dangling pointer - dev-&gt;data[0].

This patch calls cancel_work_sync to cancel the scheduled work and set
the dangling pointer to NULL.

<title>net: cdc_ncm: switch to eth%d interface naming</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c1a3d4067309451e68c33dbd356032549cc0bd8e ]

This is meant to make the host side cdc_ncm interface consistently
named just like the older CDC protocols: cdc_ether &amp; cdc_ecm
(and even rndis_host), which all use 'FLAG_ETHER | FLAG_POINTTOPOINT'.

include/linux/usb/usbnet.h:
  #define FLAG_ETHER	0x0020		/* maybe use "eth%d" names */
  #define FLAG_WLAN	0x0080		/* use "wlan%d" names */
  #define FLAG_WWAN	0x0400		/* use "wwan%d" names */
  #define FLAG_POINTTOPOINT 0x1000	/* possibly use "usb%d" names */

drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c @ line 1711:
  strcpy (net-&gt;name, "usb%d");
  ...
  // heuristic:  "usb%d" for links we know are two-host,
  // else "eth%d" when there's reasonable doubt.  userspace
  // can rename the link if it knows better.
  if ((dev-&gt;driver_info-&gt;flags &amp; FLAG_ETHER) != 0 &amp;&amp;
      ((dev-&gt;driver_info-&gt;flags &amp; FLAG_POINTTOPOINT) == 0 ||
       (net-&gt;dev_addr [0] &amp; 0x02) == 0))
          strcpy (net-&gt;name, "eth%d");
  /* WLAN devices should always be named "wlan%d" */
  if ((dev-&gt;driver_info-&gt;flags &amp; FLAG_WLAN) != 0)
          strcpy(net-&gt;name, "wlan%d");
  /* WWAN devices should always be named "wwan%d" */
  if ((dev-&gt;driver_info-&gt;flags &amp; FLAG_WWAN) != 0)
          strcpy(net-&gt;name, "wwan%d");

So by using ETHER | POINTTOPOINT the interface naming is
either usb%d or eth%d based on the global uniqueness of the
mac address of the device.

Without this 2.5gbps ethernet dongles which all seem to use the cdc_ncm
driver end up being called usb%d instead of eth%d even though they're
definitely not two-host.  (All 1gbps &amp; 5gbps ethernet usb dongles I've
tested don't hit this problem due to use of different drivers, primarily
r8152 and aqc111)

Fixes tag is based purely on git blame, and is really just here to make
sure this hits LTS branches newer than v4.5.

This is about 2KB per second and will overwrite all contents of a 1MB

many kernel problems.

This is also an extra 180 MB/day in /var/logs (or 1GB per week) rendering
the majority of those logs useless too.

commit 4d52ebc7ace491d58f96d1f4a1cb9070c506b2e7 upstream.

Commit 31db0dbd7244 ("net: hso: check for allocation failure in
hso_create_bulk_serial_device()") recently started returning an error
when the driver fails to allocate resources for the interrupt endpoint
and tiocmget functionality.

For consistency let's bail out from probe also if the URB allocation
fails.

[ Upstream commit 31db0dbd72444abe645d90c20ecb84d668f5af5e ]

In current kernels, small allocations never actually fail so this
patch shouldn't affect runtime.

Originally this error handling code written with the idea that if
the "serial-&gt;tiocmget" allocation failed, then we would continue
operating instead of bailing out early.  But in later years we added
an unchecked dereference on the next line.

	serial-&gt;tiocmget-&gt;serial_state_notification = kzalloc();
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since these allocations are never going fail in real life, this is
mostly a philosophical debate, but I think bailing out early is the
correct behavior that the user would want.  And generally it's safer to
bail as soon an error happens.
