commit e21dba7a4df4d93da237da65a096084b4f2e87b4 upstream.

This patch fixes 2 issues in x25_connect():

1. It makes absolutely no sense to reset the neighbour and the
connection state after a (successful) nonblocking call of x25_connect.
This prevents any connection from being established, since the response
(call accept) cannot be processed.

2. Any further calls to x25_connect() while a call is pending should
simply return, instead of creating new Call Request (on different
logical channels).

This patch should also fix the "KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in
x25_connect" and "BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
in x25_connect" bugs reported by syzbot.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: autoload modules from the abort path</title>

commit eb014de4fd418de1a277913cba244e47274fe392 upstream.

This patch introduces a list of pending module requests. This new module
list is composed of nft_module_request objects that contain the module
name and one status field that tells if the module has been already
loaded (the 'done' field).

In the first pass, from the preparation phase, the netlink command finds
that a module is missing on this list. Then, a module request is
allocated and added to this list and nft_request_module() returns
-EAGAIN. This triggers the abort path with the autoload parameter set on
from nfnetlink, request_module() is called and the module request enters
the 'done' state. Since the mutex is released when loading modules from
the abort phase, the module list is zapped so this is iteration occurs
over a local list. Therefore, the request_module() calls happen when
object lists are in consistent state (after fulling aborting the
transaction) and the commit list is empty.

On the second pass, the netlink command will find that it already tried
to load the module, so it does not request it again and
nft_request_module() returns 0. Then, there is a look up to find the
object that the command was missing. If the module was successfully
loaded, the command proceeds normally since it finds the missing object
in place, otherwise -ENOENT is reported to userspace.

This patch also updates nfnetlink to include the reason to enter the
abort phase, which is required for this new autoload module rationale.

commit 826035498ec14b77b62a44f0cb6b94d45530db6f upstream.

This new helper function validates that unknown family and chain type
coming from userspace do not trigger an out-of-bound array access. Bail
out in case __nft_chain_type_get() returns NULL from
nft_chain_parse_hook().

commit 32c72165dbd0e246e69d16a3ad348a4851afd415 upstream.

The bitmap allocation did not use full unsigned long sizes
when calculating the required size and that was triggered by KASAN
as slab-out-of-bounds read in several places. The patch fixes all
of them.

v4l2_vbi_format, v4l2_sliced_vbi_format and v4l2_sdr_format
have a reserved array at the end that should be zeroed by drivers
as per the V4L2 spec. Older drivers often do not do this, so just
handle this in the core.

commit e5e884b42639c74b5b57dc277909915c0aefc8bb upstream.

add_ie_rates() copys rates without checking the length
in bss descriptor from remote AP.when victim connects to
remote attacker, this may trigger buffer overflow.
lbs_ibss_join_existing() copys rates without checking the length
in bss descriptor from remote IBSS node.when victim connects to
remote attacker, this may trigger buffer overflow.
Fix them by putting the length check before performing copy.

This fix addresses CVE-2019-14896 and CVE-2019-14897.
This also fix build warning of mixed declarations and code.

commit 686f85d71d095f1d26b807e23b0f0bfd22042c45 upstream.

Section 5.5.3.2 of the datasheet says,

    If FIFO Underrun, Byte Count Mismatch, Excessive Collision, or
    Excessive Deferral (if enabled) errors occur, transmission ceases.

In this situation, the chip asserts a TXER interrupt rather than TXDN.
But the handler for the TXDN is the only way that the transmit queue
gets restarted. Hence, an aborted transmission can result in a watchdog
timeout.

This problem can be reproduced on congested link, as that can result in
excessive transmitter collisions. Another way to reproduce this is with
a FIFO Underrun, which may be caused by DMA latency.

In event of a TXER interrupt, prevent a watchdog timeout by restarting
transmission.

commit 772f66421d5aa0b9f256056f513bbc38ac132271 upstream.

Section 4.3.1 of the datasheet says,

    This bit [TXP] must not be set if a Load CAM operation is in
    progress (LCAM is set). The SONIC will lock up if both bits are
    set simultaneously.

Testing has shown that the driver sometimes attempts to set LCAM
while TXP is set. Avoid this by waiting for command completion
before and after giving the LCAM command.

After issuing the Load CAM command, poll for !SONIC_CR_LCAM rather than
SONIC_INT_LCD, because the SONIC_CR_TXP bit can't be used until
!SONIC_CR_LCAM.

When in reset mode, take the opportunity to reset the CAM Enable
register.

commit 27e0c31c5f27c1d1a1d9d135c123069f60dcf97b upstream.

There are several issues relating to command register usage during
chip initialization.

Firstly, the SONIC sometimes comes out of software reset with the
Start Timer bit set. This gets logged as,

    macsonic macsonic eth0: sonic_init: status=24, i=101

Avoid this by giving the Stop Timer command earlier than later.

Secondly, the loop that waits for the Read RRA command to complete has
the break condition inverted. That's why the for loop iterates until
its termination condition. Call the helper for this instead.

Finally, give the Receiver Enable command after clearing interrupts,
not before, to avoid the possibility of losing an interrupt.
