commit 234e615bfece9e3e91c50fe49ab9e68ee37c791a upstream.

The ice driver calls udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() during ice_open_internal().
This is redundant because UDP tunnel RX offload state is preserved
across device down/up cycles. The udp_tunnel core handles
synchronization automatically when required.

Furthermore, recent changes in the udp_tunnel infrastructure require
querying RX info while holding the udp_tunnel lock. Calling it
directly from the ndo_open path violates this requirement,
triggering the following lockdep warning:

Call Trace:

Remove the redundant and unsafe call to udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() from
ice_open_internal() to resolve the locking violation

commit d78a407bad6f500884a8606aea1a5a9207be4030 upstream.

In order for the firmware to sleep, the driver has to confirm a
previously received sleep request. The normal sequence of evets goes
like this:
EVENT_SLEEP -&gt; adapter-&gt;ps_state = PS_STATE_PRE_SLEEP -&gt; sleep-confirm
-&gt; SLEEP -&gt; EVENT_AWAKE -&gt; AWAKE.
Before sending the sleep-confirm command, the driver must make sure
there are no commands either running or waiting to be completed.

mwifiex_ret_802_11_associate() unconditionally sets
ps_state = PS_STATE_AWAKE when it processes the association command
response, outside of the normal powersave management flow. If
EVENT_SLEEP arrives while the association command is in flight,
ps_state is PRE_SLEEP when the association command response is parsed,
and the forced AWAKE overwrites it. The deferred sleep-confirm is
never sent.

A subsequent scan_start command is correctly acknowledged, but the
firmware doesn't generate scan_result events. The scan request never
finishes, and additional requests from userspace fail with -EBUSY.

After testing on both IW412 and W8997, I could only trigger the bug on
the IW412 and observed the firmwares behave differently. On the IW412
the firmware still sends EVENT_SLEEP while the authentication /
association process is ongoing. A W8997 under the same
conditions seems to suppress power-save for the duration of the
association, so PRE_SLEEP never coincided with the association response
even after extended periods of testing using the loops
described below (&gt;12hours).

On the IW412, the delay between commands that triggers an EVENT_SLEEP
was empirically determined to be ~20ms. This delay can naturally occur
when the driver is outputting debugging information
(debug_mask = 0x00000037), in which situation the busy scans issue is
repeatable while running "test 1)" as described below. If the delay
between commands is less than ~20ms, the firmware stays awake and
the issue was not reproducible running the same test.

The host_mlme=false path also behaves differently. In this case, the
entire authentication / association transaction is executed by one
command (HostCmd_CMD_802_11_ASSOCIATE), and the firmware doesn't emit
EVENT_SLEEP while the command is running.

Remove the assignment so the ps_state is only manipulated in the paths
that are related to powersave event handling and on the main workqueue
for correct sleep confirmation.

The following loop tests were performed (with debugging output enabled):
1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same
SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s
between iterations.
2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test
scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s
between iterations.

Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours.

commit 7410d11460eb90d6c9281162ccc6a128534d897d upstream.

When a MACsec interface with IFF_PROMISC set is brought up on top of a
device that has hardware offload enabled, macsec_dev_open() first calls
dev_set_promiscuity(real_dev, 1) and then propagates the open to the
offload device. If that propagation fails, the error path jumps to the
clear_allmulti label, which only reverts allmulti and the unicast
address. The promiscuity taken on the lower device is never dropped, so
real_dev is left permanently stuck in promiscuous mode. Its promiscuity
count can no longer be balanced from software.

Add a clear_promisc label that drops the promiscuity reference and
route the two offload failure paths to it. The dev_set_promiscuity()
failure itself still jumps to clear_allmulti, since on that failure the
count was not incremented.

<title>wifi: mwifiex: fix roaming to different channel in host_mlme mode</title>

commit a707e4127c0f893c7a7703500ab56297a5bd2d51 upstream.

When host MLME is enabled, mwifiex_cfg80211_authenticate() transmits the
authentication frame on a remain-on-channel (ROC) reservation so that the
frame is sent on the target BSS's channel. The ROC is only configured
when priv-&gt;auth_flag is zero.

priv-&gt;auth_flag is set to HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING when the auth frame is
queued and advances to HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE once authentication
completes. It is only cleared back to zero on a disconnect, deauth or
timeout path; nothing clears it when an association succeeds. It therefore
stays at HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE for the whole connected session.

When the station later roams to a BSS on a different channel, the next
authentication finds auth_flag != 0, skips the ROC setup, and the auth
frame is transmitted on the currently-associated channel instead of the
target's channel. Authentication times out on the new AP and the device
stays connected to the original AP.

Gate the ROC setup on HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING instead of on auth_flag
being completely clear. This re-arms the remain-on-channel for every new
authentication attempt, while still suppressing a redundant ROC during
the multi-frame SAE exchange, where auth_flag stays PENDING between the
commit and confirm frames.

This change was tested in 3 different devices:
Verdin AM62 (IW412 SD-UART) - (16.92.21.p142)
Verdin iMX8MM (W8997 SD-SD) - (16.68.1.p197)
Verdin iMX8MP (W8997 SD-UART) - (16.92.21.p137)

There following loop tests were performed:
1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same
SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s
between iterations.
2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test
scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s
between iterations.

Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours.

commit a707e4127c0f893c7a7703500ab56297a5bd2d51 upstream.

When host MLME is enabled, mwifiex_cfg80211_authenticate() transmits the
authentication frame on a remain-on-channel (ROC) reservation so that the
frame is sent on the target BSS's channel. The ROC is only configured
when priv-&gt;auth_flag is zero.

priv-&gt;auth_flag is set to HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING when the auth frame is
queued and advances to HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE once authentication
completes. It is only cleared back to zero on a disconnect, deauth or
timeout path; nothing clears it when an association succeeds. It therefore
stays at HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE for the whole connected session.

When the station later roams to a BSS on a different channel, the next
authentication finds auth_flag != 0, skips the ROC setup, and the auth
frame is transmitted on the currently-associated channel instead of the
target's channel. Authentication times out on the new AP and the device
stays connected to the original AP.

Gate the ROC setup on HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING instead of on auth_flag
being completely clear. This re-arms the remain-on-channel for every new
authentication attempt, while still suppressing a redundant ROC during
the multi-frame SAE exchange, where auth_flag stays PENDING between the
commit and confirm frames.

This change was tested in 3 different devices:
Verdin AM62 (IW412 SD-UART) - (16.92.21.p142)
Verdin iMX8MM (W8997 SD-SD) - (16.68.1.p197)

There following loop tests were performed:

<title>wifi: rt2x00: avoid full teardown before work setup in probe</title>

commit 536fb3d739d75a03cb318c0c6fe799425cfea501 upstream.

rt2x00lib_probe_dev() uses the full rt2x00lib_remove_dev() teardown for
all probe failures. However, drv_data allocation and workqueue allocation
can fail before intf_work, autowakeup_work and sleep_work have been
initialized.

Do not enter the full remove path until the probe has reached the point
where those work items are set up. Return directly for drv_data allocation
failure, and use a small early cleanup path for workqueue allocation
failure.

This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by
manual review of rt2x00lib_probe_dev() and rt2x00lib_remove_dev(). The
early probe exits should not call a common teardown path that assumes the
later work setup has already completed.

A QEMU PoC forced alloc_ordered_workqueue() to fail before the work
initializers are reached. The resulting fail path entered
rt2x00lib_remove_dev(), and DEBUG_OBJECTS reported invalid work drains with
rt2x00lib_probe_dev() and rt2x00lib_remove_dev() in the stack.

<title>macsec: don't read an unset MAC header in macsec_encrypt()</title>

commit f5089008f90c0a7c5520dff3934e0af00adf322d upstream.

macsec_encrypt() reads the Ethernet header via eth_hdr(skb)
(skb-&gt;head + skb-&gt;mac_header) to memmove() the 12 source/destination MAC
bytes forward and make room for the SecTAG.

On the AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW + PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS transmit path the skb
reaches the macsec ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset, so
eth_hdr(skb) resolves to skb-&gt;head + (u16)~0 and the read is out of
bounds: a 12-byte heap over-read that is also emitted on the wire as the
frame's outer source/destination MAC. KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds
read in macsec_start_xmit() on 6.0; on current mainline a CONFIG_DEBUG_NET
build flags it as an unset mac header in skb_mac_header().

On the TX path the L2 header is at skb-&gt;data, so use skb_eth_hdr(), added
by commit 96cc4b69581d ("macvlan: do not assume mac_header is set in
macvlan_broadcast()") for exactly this purpose.

<title>net: wwan: iosm: bound device offsets in the MUX downlink decoder</title>

commit 526b8ef54668780c8f69e0211c342763d5dcbad1 upstream.

mux_dl_adb_decode() walks a chain of aggregated datagram tables using
offsets and lengths taken from the modem. first_table_index,
next_table_index, table_length, datagram_index and datagram_length are
all device supplied le values. Only first_table_index was checked, and
only for being non zero. The decoder then formed adth = block +
adth_index and read the table header and the datagram entries with no
bound against the received skb. A modem that reports an index or a
length past the downlink buffer makes the decoder read out of bounds.

The buffer is IPC_MEM_MAX_DL_MUX_LITE_BUF_SIZE and skb-&gt;len is at most
that, so skb-&gt;len is the real limit, but none of these in band offsets
were checked against it.

The table chain is also followed with no forward progress check. The loop
takes the next table from adth-&gt;next_table_index and stops only when that
reaches zero. A modem can stage two tables that point at each other, so
the loop never ends. It runs in softirq and clones the skb on every pass.

Validate every device offset and length against skb-&gt;len before use.
The block header must fit. Each table header, on entry and after every
next_table_index, must lie inside the skb. The datagram table must fit.
Each datagram index and length must stay inside the skb. The header
padding must not exceed the datagram length so the receive length does
not wrap. Require each next_table_index to move forward so the chain
cannot cycle.

This was reproduced under KASAN as a slab out of bounds read on a normal
downlink receive once the iosm net device is up.

commit 39139b1c1c2b614096519b526112c726adb12ff0 upstream.

lan743x_hardware_init() calls pci11x1x_strap_get_status() during the
PCI11x1x probe sequence. That helper acquires the Ethernet subsystem
hardware lock via lan743x_hs_syslock_acquire(), which relies on
adapter-&gt;eth_syslock_spinlock to serialize access.

The spinlock is currently initialized only after the strap status is
read. With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled, taking the zeroed initialized
spinlock can trip the spinlock debug check.

Fix by initializing adapter-&gt;eth_syslock_spinlock before reading the
strap status so the probe path never attempts to lock an uninitialized
spinlock.
