commit 1ee4c55fc9620451b2a825d793042a7e0775391b upstream.

vt6656 has several headers that use the #pragma pack(1) directive to
enable structure packing, but never disable it.  The layout of
structures defined in other headers can then depend on which order the
various headers are included in, breaking the One Definition Rule.

In practice this resulted in crashes on x86_64 until the order of header
inclusion was changed for some files in commit 11d404cb56ecd ('staging:
vt6656: fix headers and add cfg80211.').  But we need a proper fix that
won't be affected by future changes to the order of inclusion.

This removes the #pragma pack(1) directives and adds __packed to the
structure definitions for which packing appears to have been intended.

commit 811a37effdb11e54e1ff1ddaa944286c88f58487 upstream.

Commit 2e254212 broke listing of available network names, since it
clamped the length of the returned SSID to WLAN_BSSID_LEN (6) instead of
WLAN_SSID_MAXLEN (32).

commit 397c60668aa5ae7130b5ad4e73870d7b8a787085 upstream.

Fixes a bug introduced by commit c8f2f0db1 ("zram: Fix handling
of incompressible pages") which caused invalid memory references
during disk write. Invalid references could occur in two cases:
 - Incoming data expands on compression: In this case, reference was
made to kunmap()'ed bio page.
 - Partial (non PAGE_SIZE) write with incompressible data: In this
case, reference was made to a kfree()'ed buffer.

Fixes bug 50081:

commit c0729eeefdcd76db338f635162bf0739fd2c5f6f upstream.

Éric Piel reported a kernel oops in the "comedi_test" module.  It was a
NULL pointer dereference within `waveform_ai_interrupt()` (actually a
timer function) that sometimes occurred when a running asynchronous
command is cancelled (either by the `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl or by closing
the device file).

This seems to be a race between the caller of `waveform_ai_cancel()`
which on return from that function goes and tears down the running
command, and the timer function which uses the command.  In particular,
`async-&gt;cmd.chanlist` gets freed (and the pointer set to NULL) by
`do_become_nonbusy()` in "comedi_fops.c" but a previously scheduled
`waveform_ai_interrupt()` timer function will dereference that pointer
regardless, leading to the oops.

Fix it by replacing the `del_timer()` call in `waveform_ai_cancel()`
with `del_timer_sync()`.

commit 34b55d8c48f4f76044d8f4d6ec3dc786cf210312 upstream.

The minimum period was set to 357 ns, while the divider for these boards is 50
ns. This prevented to output at maximum speed as ni_ao_cmdtest() would return
357 but would not accept it.

Not sure why it was set to 357 ns (this was done before the git history,
which starts 5 years ago). My guess is that it comes from reading the
specification stating a 2.8 MHz rate (~ 357 ns). The latest
specification states a 2.86 MHz rate (~ 350 ns), which makes a lot
more sense.

Tested on a pci-6251.
