commit 55cc11da69895a680940c1733caabc37be685f5e upstream.

This reverts commit 55884c045d31a29cf69db8332d1064a1b61dd159.

When Ath10k is in AP mode and an unassociated STA sends a VHT action frame
(Operating Mode Notification for the NSS change) periodically to AP this causes
ath10k to call ath10k_station_assoc() which sends WMI_PEER_ASSOC_CMDID during
NSS update. Over the time (with a certain client it can happen within 15 mins
when there are over 500 of these VHT action frames) continuous calls of
WMI_PEER_ASSOC_CMDID cause firmware to assert due to resource exhaust.

To my knowledge setting WMI_PEER_NSS peer param itself enough to handle NSS
updates and no need to call ath10k_station_assoc(). So revert the original
commit from 2014 as it's unclear why the change was really needed.
Now the firmware assert doesn't happen anymore.

Issue observed in QCA9984 platform with firmware version:10.4-3.5.3-00053.
This Change tested in QCA9984 with firmware version: 10.4-3.5.3-00053 and

commit 55cc11da69895a680940c1733caabc37be685f5e upstream.

This reverts commit 55884c045d31a29cf69db8332d1064a1b61dd159.

When Ath10k is in AP mode and an unassociated STA sends a VHT action frame
(Operating Mode Notification for the NSS change) periodically to AP this causes
ath10k to call ath10k_station_assoc() which sends WMI_PEER_ASSOC_CMDID during
NSS update. Over the time (with a certain client it can happen within 15 mins
when there are over 500 of these VHT action frames) continuous calls of
WMI_PEER_ASSOC_CMDID cause firmware to assert due to resource exhaust.

To my knowledge setting WMI_PEER_NSS peer param itself enough to handle NSS
updates and no need to call ath10k_station_assoc(). So revert the original
commit from 2014 as it's unclear why the change was really needed.
Now the firmware assert doesn't happen anymore.

<title>mac80211_hwsim: fix use-after-free bug in hwsim_exit_net</title>

commit 8cfd36a0b53aeb4ec21d81eb79706697b84dfc3d upstream.

When destroying a net namespace, all hwsim interfaces, which are not
created in default namespace are deleted. But the async deletion of the
interfaces could last longer than the actual destruction of the
namespace, which results to an use after free bug. Therefore use
synchronous deletion in this case.

Fixes: 100cb9ff40e0 ("mac80211_hwsim: Allow managing radios from non-initial namespaces")

commit 7972326a26b5bf8dc2adac575c4e03ee7e9d193a upstream.

This can be reproduced by bind/unbind the driver multiple times
in AM3517 board.

Analysis revealed that rtl8187_start() was invoked before probe
finishes(ie. before the mutex is initialized).

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.

<title>ath9k: Protect queue draining by rcu_read_lock()</title>

<id>a63b8d9a84ae4a2ebca459300300b4cb18ba3b8b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 182b1917109892ab9f26d66bfdcbc4ba6f0a0a65 upstream.

When ath9k was switched over to use the mac80211 intermediate queues,
node cleanup now drains the mac80211 queues. However, this call path is
not protected by rcu_read_lock() as it was previously entirely internal
to the driver which uses its own locking.

This leads to a possible rcu_dereference() without holding
rcu_read_lock(); but only if a station is cleaned up while having
packets queued on the TXQ. Fix this by adding the rcu_read_lock() to the
caller in ath9k.

Fixes: 50f08edf9809 ("ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.")

to the driver which uses its own locking.

This leads to a possible rcu_dereference() without holding
rcu_read_lock(); but only if a station is cleaned up while having
packets queued on the TXQ. Fix this by adding the rcu_read_lock() to the
caller in ath9k.

commit 9e5053ad9d590e095829a8bb07adbbdbd893f0f9 upstream.

A lot of new PCI IDs were added for the 9000 series.  Add them to the
list of supported PCI IDs.

====================
wireless-drivers fixes for 4.16

Some fixes for 4.16, only for iwlwifi and brcmfmac this time. All
pretty small.

iwlwifi

* fix an issue with the multicast queue

* fix IGTK handling

* fix some missing return value checks

* add support for a HW workaround for issues on some platforms

* a couple of fixes for channel-switch

* a few fixes for the aggregation handling code

brcmfmac

* drop Inter-Access Point Protocol packets by default

* fix check for ISO3166 regulatory code
====================

<title>ath9k_htc: use non-QoS NDP for AP probing</title>

When switching mac80211 to use QoS NDP, it turned out that
ath9k_htc is somehow broken by this, e.g. see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891060.

Fix this by using the new mac80211 flag to go back to the
old, incorrect, behaviour for this driver.

<title>mac80211_hwsim: Set wmediumd for new radios</title>

Set the wmediumd to the net's wmediumd when the radio gets created.
Radios created after HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER don't currently get their
data-&gt;wmediumd set and the userspace would need to reconnect to
netlink to be able to call HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER again.

Alternatively I think data-&gt;netgroup and data-&gt;wmedium could be
replaced with a pointer to hwsim_net.

The commit "regulatory: add NUL to request alpha2" increases the length of
alpha2 to 3. This causes a regression on brcmfmac, because
brcmf_cfg80211_reg_notifier() expect valid ISO3166 codes in the complete
array. So fix this accordingly.

<title>iwlwifi: mvm: Move unused phy's to a default channel</title>

<id>9f4ef1d70f05ebb7f0755545c05ea383be0eeb0f</id>
<content type='text'>
When immediate quiet bit is set in CSA, the entire channel is blocked
by the firmware. It is expected that all the MACs will evacuate the
channel and the phy will be eventually either moved or removed.

Currently, the phy context is just unreferenced and thus, the quiet
bit is kept set and it will be impossible to TX on this phy, if we
will need to reuse it in the future.  This can be seen when doing a
channel switch with mode=1 (quiet) twice from channel X to Y and then
back to channel X.

Fix that, by moving the phy context to a default channel when not
referenced anymore.
