commit 653c6e289b13cc6942f3e8f8e3c568e70fa42d1f upstream.

The default EEPROM firmware is parsed and copied as a full EEPROM
without checking its length. A truncated file can make the driver
read beyond the firmware buffer during variant validation or the
fallback copy.

Reject files shorter than MT7996_EEPROM_SIZE before parsing or
copying the firmware.

<title>wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix TX DMA mapping leak for AddBA req frames</title>

commit deaa2e3656937fbbe312f0ee2616c756c6e2511f upstream.

mt7996/mt7992 hand the firmware a HW MAC-TXP for AddBA req action frames
(MT_TXD7_MAC_TXD, set in mt7996_mac_write_txwi_80211()), but are otherwise
FW-TXP devices. On tx free mt76_connac_txp_skb_unmap() therefore decodes
the per-frame txp as a struct mt76_connac_fw_txp. For a MAC-TXP the
fw_txp.nbuf byte aliases the AddBA TID word (MT_TXP1_TID_ADDBA), which is
always zero, so the unmap loop runs zero times and the skb DMA mapping in
buf[1] is never unmapped. buf[1].skip_unmap is set unconditionally, so the
generic DMA-ring cleanup skips it as well.

Each AddBA req therefore leaks one TX DMA mapping, roughly one per
(re)association. With WED enabled these mappings are bounced through the
WED swiotlb pool, so under continuous client reconnect churn the pool is
exhausted after ~1-2 days, after which DMA mapping fails for WED, the WiFi
MCU and other on-SoC consumers.

Keep the deferred (token release) unmap that the design relies on, and add
an mt7996-specific txp unmap that inspects MT_TXD7_MAC_TXD and unmaps
buf[1] from the MAC-TXP layout for those frames, delegating to
mt76_connac_txp_skb_unmap() otherwise.

commit 13b3c29a782033ce4a230be9e5618032813dbcd4 upstream.

mt7996_mcu_get_eeprom() derives the destination of the EFUSE/EXT block
copy from the address reported by the MCU response (event-&gt;addr, a
device-controlled __le32) and clamps only the copy length, never the
destination offset into dev-&gt;mt76.eeprom.data. A malicious or
malfunctioning device can report an arbitrary address and drive an
out-of-bounds write of up to MT7996_EXT_EEPROM_BLOCK_SIZE bytes past
eeprom.data.

Reject a response whose address would place the copy outside eeprom.data
before deriving the destination pointer. Devices that echo the requested
in-bounds offset are unaffected.

commit 81faf578320df2dfc682a96baa6e85851dd68b6f upstream.

mt7925 queues mlo_pm_work with a 5 second delay during multi-link
power-save setup and never cancels it on the stop path. If the device is
torn down inside that window, the work outlives the teardown and its timer
fires afterwards, trying to queue onto the workqueue that is already gone:

  workqueue: cannot queue mt7925_mlo_pm_work [mt7925_common] on wq phy0
  WARNING: kernel/workqueue.c:2283 at __queue_work+0x59/0xa0, CPU#1: swapper/1/0
   call_timer_fn+0x2a/0x140
   __run_timers+0x203/0x330
   run_timer_softirq+0x86/0xf0

mt7921 already has its own stop callback, so add one for mt7925 that
cancels the work before calling mt792x_stop(). mt7925_ops backs both the
PCIe and USB drivers, so this covers both.

commit 44b5adfe49499f53002737f5fe81d608c08122fc upstream.

mt7915_mcu_get_eeprom() copies a fixed EFUSE block into the driver's
dev-&gt;mt76.eeprom.data buffer at the offset reported by the MCU response
(res-&gt;addr, a device-controlled __le32) without checking it against the
buffer size. A malicious or malfunctioning device can report an arbitrary
address and drive a 16-byte out-of-bounds write past eeprom.data.

Reject a response whose address would place the copy outside eeprom.data
before deriving the destination pointer. Devices that echo the requested
in-bounds offset are unaffected.

commit bda8324270b1ac91bfba1df8928e0570e29759e8 upstream.

mt7615_suspend() acquired the mt76 mutex and then called
cancel_delayed_work_sync() on mac_work.  mt7615_mac_work() acquires the
same mutex via mt7615_mutex_acquire() at the top of the worker, so if
mac_work is already running and blocked on the mutex, the suspend path
deadlocks waiting for the work it holds the mutex against.

Flush scan_work and mac_work before taking the mutex, matching the
suspend paths in mt7921 and mt7925.  scan_work only takes the mt76
spinlock, but moving it keeps the sequence consistent.  This also keeps
mac_work from running over an already suspended HIF, which the previous
split (async cancel under the lock, sync cancel after release) would
have allowed.

commit 2889e84282dda147f10b10d94cf0efd90a349c53 upstream.

If the device is reset, suspended or unregistered within that window,
the pending work can still run and access vif/bss data that may already
be freed, or send MCU commands while the firmware is not available.

Add cancel_delayed_work_sync(&amp;dev-&gt;mlo_pm_work) in all relevant teardown
and suspend paths:

 - mt7925_mac_reset_work()        (chip reset recovery)
 - mt7925e_unregister_device()    (PCIe unbind)
 - mt7925_pci_suspend()           (PCIe bus suspend)
 - mt7925_suspend()               (mac80211 suspend)
 - mt7925u_suspend()              (USB bus / runtime suspend)

This ensures the work is stopped before the device state becomes
invalid.

commit ef3e34874d2332d0f63e72c2c35ce5c93568c125 upstream.

mt7925_usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb() pushes a TX descriptor and a USB
header onto every skb and assumes the headroom for them is already
there. That holds for locally generated traffic, where mac80211
reserves hw-&gt;extra_tx_headroom, but forwarded frames are sent through
ieee80211_8023_xmit(), which does not reserve it. Bridge a wired
interface to an mt7925u AP and the first forwarded frame that arrives
short panics the kernel:

 skbuff: skb_under_panic: len:415 put:4 tail:0x19b end:0x640 dev:wlan1
 kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:212!
 Call trace:
  skb_panic+0x58/0x60 (P)
  skb_push+0x58/0x60
  mt7925_usb_sdio_tx_prepare_skb+0xf8/0x1b8 [mt7925_common]

  mt792x_tx_worker+0x68/0x100 [mt792x_lib]
  __mt76_worker_fn+0x84/0x150 [mt76]

Whether a given setup hits it depends on how much headroom the ingress
netdev leaves in its rx skbs. Reproduced on a Raspberry Pi 5 bridging
onboard ethernet to a Netgear A9000; originally reported on an MT7986
router running OpenWrt. Nick Morrow's testing on a Pi 4 (bcmgenet),
which leaves more headroom, helped narrow the trigger to the ingress
path.

The same bug was fixed on mt7921 by commit 98c4d0abf5c4 ("mt76:
mt7921: don't assume adequate headroom for SDIO headers"), but mt7925
was copied from mt7921 without the fix. Add the same guard here.

<title>wifi: mt76: mt7921: refactor regd update to fix recursive mutex deadlock</title>

<content type='text'>
Split mt7921_mcu_regd_update() into two functions to prevent recursive
mutex acquisition. Introduce __mt7921_mcu_regd_update() as the internal
implementation that assumes the mutex is already held by the caller,
while mt7921_mcu_regd_update() remains as the external interface that
handles mutex acquisition and release.

This fixes a deadlock issue when mt7921_regd_set_6ghz_power_type() is
called with the device mutex already held. Without this change, calling
mt7921_mcu_regd_update() would attempt to acquire the same mutex again,
causing a recursive lock deadlock.

The __mt7921_mcu_regd_update() function can be safely called when the
caller has already acquired the device mutex, avoiding the deadlock
while maintaining proper synchronization for regulatory domain updates.

<title>Revert "wifi: mt76: Disable napi when removing device"</title>

This reverts commit 13b7e6a96a005c656d38f3da51581deaf9866375.

That commit made mt76_dma_cleanup() disable every RX NAPI instance before
deleting it, to silence WARNs in __netif_napi_del_locked() and
page_pool_disable_direct_recycling() seen when unloading mt7915e with an
MT7916.

On mt7921e and mt7925e the same instances are already disabled earlier,
in mt7921e_unregister_device() and mt7925e_unregister_device(), which
only afterwards call mt792x_dma_cleanup() -&gt; mt76_dma_cleanup().  Each
instance is therefore disabled twice, and napi_disable() is not
idempotent: on return it leaves NAPIF_STATE_SCHED and NAPIF_STATE_NPSVC
set, so the second call spins in usleep_range() forever, waiting for bits
that nobody will clear.

mt7921_pci_shutdown() and mt7925_pci_shutdown() reuse the remove path, so
this is hit on every reboot, poweroff and module unload.  It is silent:
the stuck task keeps sleeping and rescheduling, so neither the hung task
detector nor the lockup detectors fire, and the last line on the console
is "systemd-shutdown[1]: Rebooting."

  task:modprobe        state:D stack:25720 pid:7954  tgid:7954

   do_syscall_64+0x11c/0x6d0
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e
   &lt;/TASK&gt;

Dropping the two driver-side loops instead was tried and rejected: with
them gone, the RX poll can reach mt76_token_release() via
PKT_TYPE_TXRX_NOTIFY and mt7921_mac_tx_free() while
mt76_connac2_tx_token_put() is running idr_destroy(&amp;dev-&gt;token) outside
token_lock, which is a use-after-free rather than a hang [1].

Revert for now, so that reboot, poweroff and module unload work again.
The WARNs on mt7915e are a less severe problem than an unbootable
machine, and fixing them belongs in the drivers that delete the NAPI
instances, where each one can pick a point that is safe for its own
teardown order, rather than in the shared mt76_dma_cleanup().

[ This is the "landing soonish" known regression fix mentioned in the
  previous networking merge commit       - Linus ]
