commit 575ddce0507789bf9830d089557d2199d2f91865 upstream.

In the function rtl_usb_start we pre-allocate a certain number of urbs
for RX path but they will not be freed when calling rtl_usb_stop. This
results in leaking urbs when doing ifconfig up and down. Eventually,
the system has no available urbs.

<title>iwlwifi: mvm: avoid crash on restart w/o reserved queues</title>

commit 03c902bff524e0cf664737a33f2365f7837040bf upstream.

When the firmware restarts in a situation in which any station
has no queue reserved anymore because that queue was used, the
code will crash trying to access the queue_info array at the
offset 255, which is far too big. Fix this by checking that a
queue is actually reserved before writing its status.

commit 7941c59e45f3b6d30e07375e9b6713427e0a9f98 upstream.

Mistakenly, the driver is trying to load the 8000C firmware with an
incorrect name (i.e. with two hyphens where there should be only one)
and that fails.  Fix that by removing the hyphen from the format
macro.

<title>orinoco: Use shash instead of ahash for MIC calculations</title>

commit 570b90fa230b8021f51a67fab2245fe8df6fe37d upstream.

Eric Biggers pointed out that the orinoco driver pointed scatterlists
at the stack.

Fix it by switching from ahash to shash.  The result should be
simpler, faster, and more correct.

kvalo: cherry picked from commit 1fef293b8a9850cfa124a53c1d8878d355010403 as I
accidentally applied this patch to wireless-drivers-next when I was supposed to

commit 60f59ce0278557f7896d5158ae6d12a4855a72cc upstream.

These drivers need to be able to reference "struct ieee80211_hw" from
the driver's private data, and vice versa. The USB driver failed to
store the address of ieee80211_hw in the private data. Although this
bug has been present for a long time, it was not exposed until
commit ba9f93f82aba ("rtlwifi: Fix enter/exit power_save").

commit ba9f93f82abafe2552eac942ebb11c2df4f8dd7f upstream.

In commit a5ffbe0a1993 ("rtlwifi: Fix scheduling while atomic bug") and
commit a269913c52ad ("rtlwifi: Rework rtl_lps_leave() and rtl_lps_enter()
to use work queue"), an error was introduced in the power-save routines
due to the fact that leaving PS was delayed by the use of a work queue.

This problem is fixed by detecting if the enter or leave routines are
in interrupt mode. If so, the workqueue is used to place the request.
If in normal mode, the enter or leave routines are called directly.
