commit dc386ce76dedaeeaaf006fceb6ed8cf2e20ff026 upstream.

The port_open flag is not applicable for IBSS mode. IBSS data
path was broken when port_open flag was introduced.
This patch fixes the problem by correcting the checks.

commit 7fdf9663261cc77a516396fec82cee8a8ea07e76 upstream.

Currently paging download buffer is freed during the
the unloading of the opmode which happens when the driver
is unloaded.

This causes a memory leak since the paging download
buffer is allocated every time we enable the
interface, so the download buffer can be allocated many
times, but only be freed once.

Free paging download buffer during disabling of the
interface.

commit 9fc515bc9e735c10cd327f05c20f5ef69474188d upstream.

IWL_INFO is not an error but still printed by default.
"can't access the RSA semaphore it is write protected" seems
worrisome but it is not really a problem.

[ Upstream commit 83d6f1f15f8cce844b0a131cbc63e444620e48b5 ]

Code that was added back in 2.6.38 has an obvious overflow
when accessing a static array, and at the time it was added
only a code comment was put in front of it as a reminder
to have it reviewed properly.

This has not happened, but gcc-6 now points to the specific
overflow:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c: In function 'ath9k_hw_get_gain_boundaries_pdadcs':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c:483:44: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
     maxPwrT4[i] = data_9287[idxL].pwrPdg[i][4];
                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~

It turns out that the correct array length exists in the local
'intercepts' variable of this function, so we can just use that
instead of hardcoding '4', so this patch changes all three
instances to use that variable. The other two instances were
already correct, but it's more consistent this way.

<title>brcmfmac: Increase nr of supported flowrings.</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 19c8f421a61947116898c9f8a28823b9d988df74 upstream.

New generation devices have firmware which has more than 256 flowrings.
E.g. following debugging message comes from 14e4:4365 BCM4366:
[  194.606245] brcmfmac: brcmf_pcie_init_ringbuffers Nr of flowrings is 264

At various code places (related to flowrings) we were using u8 which
could lead to storing wrong number or infinite loops when indexing with
this type. This issue was quite easy to spot in brcmf_flowring_detach
where it led to infinite loop e.g. on failed initialization.

This patch switches code to proper types and increases the maximum
number of supported flowrings to 512.

Originally this change was sent in September 2015, but back it was
causing a regression on BCM43602 resulting in:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address ...

The reason for this regression was missing update (s/u8/u16) of struct
brcmf_flowring_ring. This problem was handled in 9f64df9 ("brcmfmac: Fix
bug in flowring management."). Starting with that it's safe to apply
this original patch as it doesn't cause a regression anymore.

This patch fixes an infinite loop on BCM4366 which is supported since
4.4 so it makes sense to apply it to stable 4.4+.
