b43: Fix error in cordic routine

2019-01-13T09:05:33+00:00

commit 8ea3819c0bbef57a51d8abe579e211033e861677 upstream. The cordic routine for calculating sines and cosines that was added in commit 6f98e62a9f1b ("b43: update cordic code to match current specs") contains an error whereby a quantity declared u32 can in fact go negative. This problem was detected by Priit Laes who is switching b43 to use the routine in the library functions of the kernel. Fixes: 986504540306 ("b43: make cordic common (LP-PHY and N-PHY need it)") Reported-by: Priit Laes Cc: Rafał Miłecki Cc: Stable # 2.6.34 Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Priit Laes Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

iwlwifi: mvm: fix regulatory domain update when the firmware starts

2018-12-01T08:46:40+00:00

commit 82715ac71e6b94a2c2136e31f3a8e6748e33aa8c upstream. When the firmware starts, it doesn't have any regulatory information, hence it uses the world wide limitations. The driver can feed the firmware with previous knowledge that was kept in the driver, but the firmware may still not update its internal tables. This happens when we start a BSS interface, and then the firmware can change the regulatory tables based on our location and it'll use more lenient, location specific rules. Then, if the firmware is shut down (when the interface is brought down), and then an AP interface is created, the firmware will forget the country specific rules. The host will think that we are in a certain country that may allow channels and will try to teach the firmware about our location, but the firmware may still not allow to drop the world wide limitations and apply country specific rules because it was just re-started. In this case, the firmware will reply with MCC_RESP_ILLEGAL to the MCC_UPDATE_CMD. In that case, iwlwifi needs to let the upper layers (cfg80211 / hostapd) know that the channel list they know about has been updated.

mwifiex: fix p2p device doesn't find in scan problem

commit 3d8bd85c2c9e47ed2c82348aa5b6029ed48376ae upstream. Marvell p2p device disappears from the list of p2p peers on the other p2p device after disconnection. It happens due to a bug in driver. When interface is changed from p2p to station, certain variables(bss_type, bss_role etc.) aren't correctly updated. This patch corrects them to fix the issue.

commit c44c040300d7afd79294710313a4989683e2afb1 upstream. At couple of places in cleanup path, we are just going through the skb queue and freeing them without unlinking. This leads to a crash when other thread tries to do skb_dequeue() and use already freed node. The problem is freed by unlinking skb before freeing it.

cw1200: Don't leak memory if krealloc failes

2018-12-01T08:46:40+00:00

commit 9afdd6128c39f42398041bb2e017d8df0dcebcd1 upstream. The call to krealloc() in wsm_buf_reserve() directly assigns the newly returned memory to buf->begin. This is all fine except when krealloc() failes we loose the ability to free the old memory pointed to by buf->begin. If we just create a temporary variable to assign memory to and assign the memory to it we can mitigate the memory leak.

ath10k: fix kernel panic due to race in accessing arvif list

2018-12-01T08:46:36+00:00

commit ebaa4b1620bf69f2bc43cb45ea85fbafdaec23c3 upstream. arvifs list is traversed within data_lock spin_lock in tasklet context to fill channel information from the corresponding vif. This means any access to arvifs list for add/del operations should also be protected with the same spin_lock to avoid the race. Fix this by performing list add/del on arvfis within the data_lock. This could fix kernel panic something like the below.
