<id>urn:sha1:0efdc02f4f6d52f8ca5d5889560f325a836ce0a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Move clear_bit(NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE) before invoking the data exchange
callback in nci_data_exchange_complete().

The callback (e.g. rawsock_data_exchange_complete) may immediately
schedule another data exchange via schedule_work(tx_work).  On a
multi-CPU system, tx_work can run and reach nci_transceive() before
the current nci_data_exchange_complete() clears the flag, causing
test_and_set_bit(NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE) to return -EBUSY and the new
transfer to fail.

This causes intermittent flakes in nci/nci_dev in NIPA:

  # #  RUN           NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read ...
  # # t4t_tag_read: Test terminated by timeout
  # #          FAIL  NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read
  # not ok 3 NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

<title>NFC: nci: fix sleep in atomic context bugs caused by nci_skb_alloc</title>

<id>urn:sha1:23dd4581350d4ffa23d58976ec46408f8f4c1e16</id>
<content type='text'>
There are sleep in atomic context bugs when the request to secure
element of st-nci is timeout. The root cause is that nci_skb_alloc
with GFP_KERNEL parameter is called in st_nci_se_wt_timeout which is
a timer handler. The call paths that could trigger bugs are shown below:

    (interrupt context 1)
st_nci_se_wt_timeout
  nci_hci_send_event
    nci_hci_send_data
      nci_skb_alloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep

   (interrupt context 2)
st_nci_se_wt_timeout
  nci_hci_send_event
    nci_hci_send_data
      nci_send_data
        nci_queue_tx_data_frags
          nci_skb_alloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep

This patch changes allocation mode of nci_skb_alloc from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent atomic context sleeping. The GFP_ATOMIC
flag makes memory allocation operation could be used in atomic context.

<title>nfc: nci: constify several pointers to u8, sk_buff and other structs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ddecf5556f7fdf871fa8ce26b376e3e8ae6213b6</id>
<content type='text'>
Several functions receive pointers to u8, sk_buff or other structs but
do not modify the contents so make them const.  This allows doing the
same for local variables and in total makes the code a little bit safer.

This makes const also data passed as "unsigned long opt" argument to
nci_request() function.  Usual flow for such functions is:
1. Receive "u8 *" and store it (the pointer) in a structure
   allocated on stack (e.g. struct nci_set_config_param),
2. Call nci_request() or __nci_request() passing a callback function an
   the pointer to the structure via an "unsigned long opt",
3. nci_request() calls the callback which dereferences "unsigned long
   opt" in a read-only way.

This converts all above paths to use proper pointer to const data, so
entire flow is safer.

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across
the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer
was used directly, all done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@

    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - fn(SKB, LEN)[0]
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the
more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.

An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
