commit 6773386f977ce5af339f9678fa2918909a946c6b upstream.

Kernels built with CONFIG_KASAN=y report the following BUG for rtl8192cu
and rtl8192c-common:

struct rtl_usb_priv, which is used by rtl8192cu. The problem was resolved
by placing the struct bt_coexist_info at the head of each of those private
areas.

commit 40b368af4b750863b2cb66a3a9513241db2f0793 upstream.

The addresses of Wlan NIC registers are natural alignment, but some
drivers have bugs. These are evident on platforms that need natural
alignment to access registers.  This change contains the following:
 1. Function _rtl8821ae_dbi_read() is used to read one byte from DBI,
    thus it should use rtl_read_byte().
 2. Register 0x4C7 of 8192ee is single byte.

commit 7c42631376306fb3f34d51fda546b50a9b6dd6ec upstream.

The priv-&gt;cmd_msg_buffer is allocated in the probe function, but never
kfree()ed. This patch converts the kzalloc() to resource-managed
kzalloc.

<title>ath9k: use correct OTP register offsets for the AR9340 and AR9550</title>

<id>7666ef1a36cc09b63b4f916a90250adfdda2bb2b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c9f1e32600816d695f817477d56490bfc2ba43c6 upstream.

This patch fixes the OTP register definitions for the AR934x and AR9550
WMAC SoC.

Previously, the ath9k driver was unable to initialize the integrated
WMAC on an Aerohive AP121:

| ath: phy0: timeout (1000 us) on reg 0x30018: 0xbadc0ffe &amp; 0x00000007 != 0x00000004
| ath: phy0: timeout (1000 us) on reg 0x30018: 0xbadc0ffe &amp; 0x00000007 != 0x00000004
| ath: phy0: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -5
| ath9k ar934x_wmac: failed to initialize device
| ath9k: probe of ar934x_wmac failed with error -5

It turns out that the AR9300_OTP_STATUS and AR9300_OTP_DATA
definitions contain a typo.

<title>ath9k: fix race condition in enabling/disabling IRQs</title>

<id>1aeced70f77def8a7ea790fd1f2a11bfd9d752b4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3a5e969bb2f6692a256352649355d56d018d6b88 upstream.

The code currently relies on refcounting to disable IRQs from within the
IRQ handler and re-enabling them again after the tasklet has run.

However, due to race conditions sometimes the IRQ handler might be
called twice, or the tasklet may not run at all (if interrupted in the
middle of a reset).

This can cause nasty imbalances in the irq-disable refcount which will
get the driver permanently stuck until the entire radio has been stopped
and started again (ath_reset will not recover from this).

Instead of using this fragile logic, change the code to ensure that
running the irq handler during tasklet processing is safe, and leave the
refcount untouched.

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.

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").

[ Upstream commit 217e6fa24ce28ec87fca8da93c9016cb78028612 ]

The stack must not pass packets to device drivers that are shorter
than the minimum link layer header length.

Previously, packet sockets would drop packets smaller than or equal
to dev-&gt;hard_header_len, but this has false positives. Zero length
payload is used over Ethernet. Other link layer protocols support
variable length headers. Support for validation of these protocols
removed the min length check for all protocols.

Introduce an explicit dev-&gt;min_header_len parameter and drop all
packets below this value. Initially, set it to non-zero only for
Ethernet and loopback. Other protocols can follow in a patch to
net-next.

Fixes: 9ed988cd5915 ("packet: validate variable length ll headers")

<title>mlx4: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule</title>

[ Upstream commit bd4ce941c8d5b862b2f83364be5dbe8fc8ab48f8 ]

mlx4 may schedule napi from a workqueue. Afterwards, softirqs are not run
in a deterministic time frame and the following message may be logged:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08

The problem is the same as what was described in commit ec13ee80145c
("virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule") and this patch
applies the same fix to mlx4.
