commit a1881c9b8a1edef0a5ae1d5c1b61406fe3402114 upstream.

Otherwise if network manager starts configuring Wi-Fi interface
immidiatelly after getting notification of its creation, we will get
NULL pointer dereference:

mac80211_hwsim initializes a hrtimer with clockid
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. That's not supported.

Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead.

commit 3d71c3f1f50cf309bd20659422af549bc784bfff upstream.

The rs_rate_from_ucode_rate() function may return -EINVAL if the rate
is invalid, but none of the callsites check for the error, potentially
making us access arrays with index IWL_RATE_INVALID, which is larger
than the arrays, causing an out-of-bounds access.  This will trigger
KASAN warnings, such as the one reported in the bugzilla issue
mentioned below.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200659

commit 4f666675cdff0b986195413215eb062b7da6586f upstream.

When powering down a SDIO connected card during suspend, make sure to call
into the generic lbs_suspend() function before pulling the plug. This will
make sure the card is successfully deregistered from the system to avoid
communication to the card starving out.

commit 2aa650d1950fce94f696ebd7db30b8830c2c946f upstream.

strncpy might not NUL-terminate the string, if the name equals the buffer size.
Use strlcpy instead.

commit 3f259111583801013cb605bb4414aa529adccf1c upstream.

The QCA4019 hw1.0 firmware 10.4-3.2.1-00050 and 10.4-3.5.3-00053 (and most
likely all other) seem to ignore the WMI_CHAN_FLAG_DFS flag during the
scan. This results in transmission (probe requests) on channels which are
not "available" for transmissions.

Since the firmware is closed source and nothing can be done from our side
to fix the problem in it, the driver has to work around this problem. The
WMI_CHAN_FLAG_PASSIVE seems to be interpreted by the firmware to not
scan actively on a channel unless an AP was detected on it. Simple probe
requests will then be transmitted by the STA on the channel.

ath10k must therefore also use this flag when it queues a radar channel for
scanning. This should reduce the chance of an active scan when the channel
might be "unusable" for transmissions.

Fixes: e8a50f8ba44b ("ath10k: introduce DFS implementation")
