[ Upstream commit 7cfe0455ee1218add152e986b89b4bb8dbeafcdd ]

The cts protection vdev parameter, in new QCA9377 TF2.0 firmware,
requires bss peer to be created for the STATION vdev type.
bss peer is being allocated by the firmware after vdev_start/_up commands.
mac80211 may call the cts protection setup at any time, so the
we needs to track the situation and defer the cts configuration
to prevent firmware asserts, like below:

<title>ath10k: fix incorrect txpower set by P2P_DEVICE interface</title>

[ Upstream commit 88407beb1b1462f706a1950a355fd086e1c450b6 ]

Ath10k reports the phy capability that supports P2P_DEVICE interface.

When we use the P2P supported wpa_supplicant to start connection, it'll
create two interfaces, one is wlan0 (vdev_id=0) and one is P2P_DEVICE
p2p-dev-wlan0 which is for p2p control channel (vdev_id=1).

	ath10k_pci mac vdev create 0 (add interface) type 2 subtype 0
	ath10k_add_interface: vdev_id: 0, txpower: 0, bss_power: 0
	...
	ath10k_pci mac vdev create 1 (add interface) type 2 subtype 1
	ath10k_add_interface: vdev_id: 1, txpower: 0, bss_power: 0

And the txpower in per vif bss_conf will only be set to valid tx power when
the interface is assigned with channel_ctx.

But this P2P_DEVICE interface will never be used for any connection, so
that the uninitialized bss_conf.txpower=0 is assinged to the
arvif-&gt;txpower when interface created.

Since the txpower configuration is firmware per physical interface.
So the smallest txpower of all vifs will be the one limit the tx power
of the physical device, that causing the low txpower issue on other
active interfaces.

	wlan0: Limiting TX power to 21 (24 - 3) dBm
	ath10k_pci mac vdev_id 0 txpower 21
	ath10k_mac_txpower_recalc: vdev_id: 1, txpower: 0
	ath10k_mac_txpower_recalc: vdev_id: 0, txpower: 21
	ath10k_pci mac txpower 0

This issue only happens when we use the wpa_supplicant that supports
P2P or if we use the iw tool to create the control P2P_DEVICE interface.

In a few cases the err-variable is not set to a negative error code if a
function call in typhoon_init_one() fails and thus 0 is returned
instead.
It may be better to set err to the appropriate negative error
code before returning.

<title>e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 19110cfbb34d4af0cdfe14cd243f3b09dc95b013 upstream.

Lennart reported the following race condition:

\ e1000_watchdog_task
    \ e1000e_has_link
        \ hw-&gt;mac.ops.check_for_link() === e1000e_check_for_copper_link
            /* link is up */
            mac-&gt;get_link_status = false;

                            /* interrupt */
                            \ e1000_msix_other
                                hw-&gt;mac.get_link_status = true;

        link_active = !hw-&gt;mac.get_link_status
        /* link_active is false, wrongly */

This problem arises because the single flag get_link_status is used to
signal two different states: link status needs checking and link status is
down.

Avoid the problem by using the return value of .check_for_link to signal
the link status to e1000e_has_link().

commit 19110cfbb34d4af0cdfe14cd243f3b09dc95b013 upstream.

Lennart reported the following race condition:

\ e1000_watchdog_task
    \ e1000e_has_link
        \ hw-&gt;mac.ops.check_for_link() === e1000e_check_for_copper_link
            /* link is up */
            mac-&gt;get_link_status = false;

                            /* interrupt */
                            \ e1000_msix_other
                                hw-&gt;mac.get_link_status = true;

        link_active = !hw-&gt;mac.get_link_status
        /* link_active is false, wrongly */

This problem arises because the single flag get_link_status is used to
signal two different states: link status needs checking and link status is
down.

Avoid the problem by using the return value of .check_for_link to signal
the link status to e1000e_has_link().

commit c4c40e51f9c32c6dd8adf606624c930a1c4d9bbb upstream.

In case of error from e1e_rphy(), the loop will exit early and "success"
will be set to true erroneously.

<title>ixgbe: Fix skb list corruption on Power systems</title>

commit 0a9a17e3bb4564caf4bfe2a6783ae1287667d188 upstream.

This patch fixes an issue seen on Power systems with ixgbe which results
in skb list corruption and an eventual kernel oops. The following is what
was observed:

CPU 1                                   CPU2
============================            ============================
1: ixgbe_xmit_frame_ring                ixgbe_clean_tx_irq
2:  first-&gt;skb = skb                     eop_desc = tx_buffer-&gt;next_to_watch
3:  ixgbe_tx_map                         read_barrier_depends()
4:   wmb                                 check adapter written status bit
5:   first-&gt;next_to_watch = tx_desc      napi_consume_skb(tx_buffer-&gt;skb ..);
6:   writel(i, tx_ring-&gt;tail);

The read_barrier_depends is insufficient to ensure that tx_buffer-&gt;skb does not
get loaded prior to tx_buffer-&gt;next_to_watch, which then results in loading
a stale skb pointer. This patch replaces the read_barrier_depends with
smp_rmb to ensure loads are ordered with respect to the load of
tx_buffer-&gt;next_to_watch.
