commit 047fe3605235888f3ebcda0c728cb31937eadfe6 upstream.

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()

commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe-&gt;buffers.

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe-&gt;buffers
doesn't change for their duration.

Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe-&gt;buffers where appropriate.

splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

      mac80211: Don't let regulatory make us deaf

went in and changed the TX/RX enable logic, but now
the conditions for stopping and restarting the queues
were different so that now, if the AP changes between
20/40 MHz bandwidth, it can happen that we stop but
never restart the queues. This breaks the connection
and the module actually has to be reloaded to get it
back to work.

Fix this by making sure the queues are always started
when they were stopped.

<title>SUNRPC: move per-net operations from svc_destroy()</title>

upstream commit 786185b5f8abefa6a8a16695bb4a59c164d5a071.

The idea is to separate service destruction and per-net operations,
because these are two different things and the mix looks ugly.

Notes:

1) For NFS server this patch looks ugly (sorry for that). But these
place will be rewritten soon during NFSd containerization.

2) LockD per-net counter increase int lockd_up() was moved prior to
make_socks() to make lockd_down_net() call safe in case of error.

<title>SUNRPC: new svc_bind() routine introduced</title>

<content type='text'>
upstream commit 9793f7c88937e7ac07305ab1af1a519225836823.

This new routine is responsible for service registration in a specified
network context.

The idea is to separate service creation from per-net operations.

Note also: since registering service with svc_bind() can fail, the
service will be destroyed and during destruction it will try to
unregister itself from rpcbind. In this case unregistration has to be
skipped.

<title>mac80211: correct behaviour on unrecognised action frames</title>

commit 4b5ebccc40843104d980f0714bc86bfcd5568941 upstream.

When receiving an "individually addressed" action frame, the
receiver is required to return it to the sender. mac80211
gets this wrong as it also returns group addressed (mcast)
frames to the sender. Fix this and update the reference to
the new 802.11 standards version since things were shuffled
around significantly.

commit 88a9e31c506c00c8b7a2f1611406d0e38dcb33b3 upstream.

ieee80211_set_disassoc() clears ifmgd-&gt;bssid before
building DELBA frames, resulting in frames with invalid
bssid ("00:00:00:00:00:00").

Fix it by clearing ifmgd-&gt;bssid only after building
all the needed frames.

After this change, we no longer need to save the
bssid (before clearing it), so remove the local array.

bug introduced with 59b699cdee039d75915c354da06937102d1f9a84

If the source or destination mac address of an ethernet packet
could not be found in the translation table the packet was
dropped if AP isolation was turned on. This behavior would
make it impossible to send broadcast packets over the mesh as
the broadcast address will never enter the translation table.

commit 2c995ff892313009e336ecc8ec3411022f5b1c39 upstream.

skb_linearize(skb) possibly rearranges the skb internal data and then changes
the skb-&gt;data pointer value. For this reason any other pointer in the code that
was assigned skb-&gt;data before invoking skb_linearise(skb) must be re-assigned.

In the current tt_query message handling code this is not done and therefore, in
case of skb linearization, the pointer used to handle the packet header ends up
in pointing to free'd memory.

commit fe20b39ec32e975f1054c0b7866c873a954adf05 upstream.

reg_timeout_work() calls restore_regulatory_settings() which
takes cfg80211_mutex.

reg_set_request_processed() already holds cfg80211_mutex
before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(reg_timeout),
so it might deadlock.

Call the async cancel_delayed_work instead, in order
to avoid the potential deadlock.

This is the relevant lockdep warning:

commit fe20b39ec32e975f1054c0b7866c873a954adf05 upstream.

reg_timeout_work() calls restore_regulatory_settings() which
takes cfg80211_mutex.

reg_set_request_processed() already holds cfg80211_mutex
before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(reg_timeout),
so it might deadlock.

Call the async cancel_delayed_work instead, in order
to avoid the potential deadlock.

This is the relevant lockdep warning:

commit 67de956ff5dc1d4f321e16cfbd63f5be3b691b43 upstream.

Fix multiple remotely-exploitable stack-based buffer overflows due to
the NCI code pulling length fields directly from incoming frames and
copying too much data into statically-sized arrays.
