      mwifiex: don't leak stashed beacon buffer on reset · 6eb2d002
      Brian Norris authored 
      When removing or resetting an mwifiex device, we don't remember to free
the saved beacon buffer. Use the (somewhat misleadingly-named)
mwifiex_free_priv() helper to handle this.

Noticed by kmemleak during tests:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../reset

unreferenced object 0xffffffc09d034a00 (size 256):

      mwifiex: don't drop lock between list-retrieval / list-deletion · 0f13acf0
      Brian Norris authored 
      mwifiex_exec_next_cmd() seems to have a classic TOCTOU race, where we
drop the list lock in between retrieving the next command and deleting
it from the list. This potentially leaves room for someone else to also
retrieve / steal this node from the list (e.g.,
mwifiex_cancel_all_pending_cmd()).

Let's keep holding the lock while we do our 'ps_state' sanity checks.
There should be no harm in continuing to hold this lock for a bit more.

Noticed only by code inspection.

      mwifiex: Add locking to mwifiex_11n_delba · 09bdb650
      Douglas Anderson authored 
      The mwifiex_11n_delba() function walked the rx_reorder_tbl_ptr without
holding the lock, which was an obvious violation.

Grab the lock.

NOTE: we hold the lock while calling mwifiex_send_delba().  There's also
several callers in 11n_rxreorder.c that hold the lock and the comments
in the struct sound just like very other list/lock pair -- as if the
lock should definitely be help for all operations like this.

      mwifiex: Don't release cmd_pending_q_lock while iterating · 90ad0be8
      Douglas Anderson authored 
      Just like in the previous patch ("mwifiex: Don't release
tx_ba_stream_tbl_lock while iterating"), in
mwifiex_cancel_all_pending_cmd() we were itearting over a list protected
by a spinlock.  Again, it is not safe to release the spinlock while
iterating.  Don't do it.

Luckily in this case there should be no need to release the spinlock.
This is evidenced by:

1. The only function called while the spinlock was released was
   mwifiex_recycle_cmd_node()
2. Aside from atomic functions (which are safe to call), the only
   function called by mwifiex_recycle_cmd_node() was
   mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q().
3. It can be seen in mwifiex_cancel_pending_scan_cmd() that it's OK to
   call mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q() while holding a different
   spinlock (scan_pending_q_lock), so in general holding a spinlock
   should be OK.
4. It doesn't appear that mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q() has any
   interaction with the cmd_pending_q_lock

No known bugs are fixed with this change, but as with other similar
changes this could fix random list corruption.

      mwifiex: Don't release tx_ba_stream_tbl_lock while iterating · e0b636e5
      Douglas Anderson authored 
      Despite the macro list_for_each_entry_safe() having the word "safe" in
the name, it's still not actually safe to release the list spinlock
while iterating over the list.  The "safe" in the macro name actually
only means that it's safe to delete the current entry while iterating
over the list.

Releasing the spinlock while iterating over the list means that someone
else could come in and adjust the list while we don't have the
spinlock.  If they do that it can totally mix up our iteration and fully
corrupt the list.  Later iterating over a corrupted list while holding a
spinlock and having IRQs off can cause all sorts of hard to debug
problems.

As evidenced by the other call to
mwifiex_11n_delete_tx_ba_stream_tbl_entry() in
mwifiex_11n_delete_all_tx_ba_stream_tbl(), it's actually safe to skip
the spinlock release.  Let's do that.

No known problems are fixed by this patch, but it could fix all sorts of
weird problems and it should be very safe.

      mwifiex: fixup error cases in mwifiex_add_virtual_intf() · 8535107a
      Brian Norris authored 
      If we fail to add an interface in mwifiex_add_virtual_intf(), we might
hit a BUG_ON() in the networking code, because we didn't tear things
down properly. Among the problems:

 (a) when failing to allocate workqueues, we fail to unregister the
     netdev before calling free_netdev()
 (b) even if we do try to unregister the netdev, we're still holding the
     rtnl lock, so the device never properly unregistered; we'll be at
     state NETREG_UNREGISTERING, and then hit free_netdev()'s:
	BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_UNREGISTERED);
 (c) we're allocating some dependent resources (e.g., DFS workqueues)
     after we've registered the interface; this may or may not cause
     problems, but it's good practice to allocate these before registering
 (d) we're not even trying to unwind anything when mwifiex_send_cmd() or
     mwifiex_sta_init_cmd() fail

To fix these issues, let's:

 * add a stacked set of error handling labels, to keep error handling
   consistent and properly ordered (resolving (a) and (d))
 * move the workqueue allocations before the registration (to resolve
   (c); also resolves (b) by avoiding error cases where we have to
   unregister)

[Incidentally, it's pretty easy to interrupt the alloc_workqueue() in,
e.g., the following:

  iw phy phy0 interface add mlan0 type station

by sending it SIGTERM.]

This bugfix covers commits like commit 7d652034 ("mwifiex: channel
switch support for mwifiex"), but parts of this bug exist all the way
back to the introduction of dynamic interface handling in commit
93a1df48 ("mwifiex: add cfg80211 handlers add/del_virtual_intf").

      mwifiex: pcie: de-duplicate buffer allocation code · d41bf5c1
      Brian Norris authored 
      This code was duplicated as part of the PCIe FLR code added to this
driver. Let's de-duplicate it to:

 * make things easier to read (mwifiex_pcie_free_buffers() now has a
   corresponding mwifiex_pcie_alloc_buffers())
 * reduce likelihood of bugs
 * make error logging equally verbose
 * save lines of code!

Also drop some of the commentary that isn't really needed.
