[ Upstream commit 2f623aaf9f31de968dea6169849706a2f9be444c ]

There are two memory leaks reported by kmemleak:

The root cause is traced to the netdev and fst_card_info are not freed
when removes one fst in fst_remove_one(), which may trigger oom if
repeated insmod and rmmod module.

Fix it by adding free_netdev() and kfree() in fst_remove_one(), just as
the operations on the error handling path in fst_add_one().

<title>net: lapbether: fix issue of dev reference count leakage in lapbeth_device_event()</title>

[ Upstream commit 531705a765493655472c993627106e19f7e5a6d2 ]

When following tests are performed, it will cause dev reference counting
leakage.
a)ip link add bond2 type bond mode balance-rr
b)ip link set bond2 up
c)ifenslave -f bond2 rose1
d)ip link del bond2

When new bond device is created, the default type of the bond device is
ether. And the bond device is up, lapbeth_device_event() receives the
message and creates a new lapbeth device. In this case, the reference
count value of dev is hold once. But after "ifenslave -f bond2 rose1"
command is executed, the type of the bond device is changed to rose. When
the bond device is unregistered, lapbeth_device_event() will not put the
dev reference count.

<title>net: lapbether: Prevent racing when checking whether the netif is running</title>

[ Upstream commit 5acd0cfbfbb5a688da1bfb1a2152b0c855115a35 ]

There are two "netif_running" checks in this driver. One is in
"lapbeth_xmit" and the other is in "lapbeth_rcv". They serve to make
sure that the LAPB APIs called in these functions are called before
"lapb_unregister" is called by the "ndo_stop" function.

However, these "netif_running" checks are unreliable, because it's
possible that immediately after "netif_running" returns true, "ndo_stop"
is called (which causes "lapb_unregister" to be called).

This patch adds locking to make sure "lapbeth_xmit" and "lapbeth_rcv" can
reliably check and ensure the netif is running while doing their work.

lmc set sc-&gt;lmc_media pointer when there is a matching device.
However, when no matching device is found, this pointer is NULL
and the following dereference will result in a null-ptr-deref.

To fix this issue, unregister the hdlc device and return an error.

When priv-&gt;rx_skbuff or priv-&gt;tx_skbuff is NULL, no error return code of

commit f7d9d4854519fdf4d45c70a4d953438cd88e7e58 upstream.

For the devices in this driver, the default qdisc is "noqueue",
because their "tx_queue_len" is 0.

In function "__dev_queue_xmit" in "net/core/dev.c", devices with the
"noqueue" qdisc are specially handled. Packets are transmitted without
being queued after a "dev-&gt;flags &amp; IFF_UP" check. However, it's possible
that even if this check succeeds, "ops-&gt;ndo_stop" may still have already
been called. This is because in "__dev_close_many", "ops-&gt;ndo_stop" is
called before clearing the "IFF_UP" flag.

If we call "netif_stop_queue" in "ops-&gt;ndo_stop", then it's possible in
"__dev_queue_xmit", it sees the "IFF_UP" flag is present, and then it
checks "netif_xmit_stopped" and finds that the queue is already stopped.
In this case, it will complain that:
"Virtual device ... asks to queue packet!"

To prevent "__dev_queue_xmit" from generating this complaint, we should
not call "netif_stop_queue" in "ops-&gt;ndo_stop".

We also don't need to call "netif_start_queue" in "ops-&gt;ndo_open",
because after a netdev is allocated and registered, the
"__QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF" flag is initially not set, so there is no need
to call "netif_start_queue" to clear it.

[ Upstream commit 1fef73597fa545c35fddc953979013882fbd4e55 ]

ppp_cp_event is called directly or indirectly by ppp_rx with "ppp-&gt;lock"
held. It may call mod_timer to add a new timer. However, at the same time
ppp_timer may be already running and waiting for "ppp-&gt;lock". In this
case, there's no need for ppp_timer to continue running and it can just
exit.

If we let ppp_timer continue running, it may call add_timer. This causes
kernel panic because add_timer can't be called with a timer pending.
This patch fixes this problem.

<title>drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Correctly handle special skb-&gt;protocol values</title>

[ Upstream commit 8306266c1d51aac9aa7aa907fe99032a58c6382c ]

The fr_hard_header function is used to prepend the header to skbs before
transmission. It is used in 3 situations:
1) When a control packet is generated internally in this driver;
2) When a user sends an skb on an Ethernet-emulating PVC device;
3) When a user sends an skb on a normal PVC device.

These 3 situations need to be handled differently by fr_hard_header.
Different headers should be prepended to the skb in different situations.

Currently fr_hard_header distinguishes these 3 situations using
skb-&gt;protocol. For situation 1 and 2, a special skb-&gt;protocol value
will be assigned before calling fr_hard_header, so that it can recognize
these 2 situations. All skb-&gt;protocol values other than these special ones
are treated by fr_hard_header as situation 3.

However, it is possible that in situation 3, the user sends an skb with
one of the special skb-&gt;protocol values. In this case, fr_hard_header
would incorrectly treat it as situation 1 or 2.

This patch tries to solve this issue by using skb-&gt;dev instead of
skb-&gt;protocol to distinguish between these 3 situations. For situation
1, skb-&gt;dev would be NULL; for situation 2, skb-&gt;dev-&gt;type would be
ARPHRD_ETHER; and for situation 3, skb-&gt;dev-&gt;type would be ARPHRD_DLCI.

This way fr_hard_header would be able to distinguish these 3 situations
correctly regardless what skb-&gt;protocol value the user tries to use in
situation 3.
