[ Upstream commit e58f95831e7468d25eb6e41f234842ecfe6f014f ]

gcc-8.0.0 (snapshot) points out that we copy a variable-length string
into a fixed length field using memcpy() with the destination length,
and that ends up copying whatever follows the string:

    inlined from 'ql_core_dump' at drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/qlge_dbg.c:1106:2:
drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/qlge_dbg.c:708:2: error: 'memcpy' reading 15 bytes from a region of size 14 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
  memcpy(seg_hdr-&gt;description, desc, (sizeof(seg_hdr-&gt;description)) - 1);

Changing it to use strncpy() will instead zero-pad the destination,
which seems to be the right thing to do here.

The bug is probably harmless, but it seems like a good idea to address
it in stable kernels as well, if only for the purpose of building with
gcc-8 without warnings.

[ Upstream commit f5992b72ebe0dde488fa8f706b887194020c66fc ]

The driver's ndo_get_stats64() method is not always called under RTNL.
So it can race with driver close or ethtool reconfigurations.  Fix the
race condition by taking tp-&gt;lock spinlock in tg3_free_consistent()
when freeing the tp-&gt;hw_stats memory block.  tg3_get_stats64() is
already taking tp-&gt;lock.

commit 4f9dce230b32eec45cec8c28cae61efdfa2f7d57 upstream.

The driver connects and disconnects the PHY device whenever the
net device is brought up and down.  The ethtool get_settings,
set_settings and nway_reset operations will dereference a null
or dangling pointer if called while it is down.

I think it would be preferable to keep the PHY connected, but there
may be good reasons not to.

As an immediate fix for this bug:
- Set the phydev pointer to NULL after disconnecting the PHY
- Change those three operations to return -ENODEV while the PHY is
  not connected

commit b4dfd8e92956b396d3438212bc9a0be6267b8b34 upstream.

This fixes Ethernet on D-Link DIR-885L with BCM47094 SoC. Felix reported
similar fix was needed for his BCM4709 device (Buffalo WXR-1900DHP?).
I tested this for regressions on BCM4706, BCM4708A0 and BCM47081A0.

commit e6afb1ad88feddf2347ea779cfaf4d03d3cd40b6 upstream.

Commit beb0babfb77e ("korina: disable napi on close and restart")
introduced calls to napi_disable() that were missing before,
unfortunately this leaves a small window during which NAPI has a chance
to run, yet we just freed resources since korina_free_ring() has been
called:

Fix this by disabling NAPI first then freeing resource, and make sure
that we also cancel the restart task before doing the resource freeing.

[ Upstream commit cd224553641848dd17800fe559e4ff5d208553e8 ]

xilinx_emaclite looks at the received data to try to determine the
Ethernet packet length but does not properly clamp it if
proto_type == ETH_P_IP or 1500 &lt; proto_type &lt;= 1518, causing a buffer
overflow and a panic via skb_panic() as the length exceeds the allocated
skb size.

Fix those cases.

Also add an additional unconditional check with WARN_ON() at the end.

[ Upstream commit cd224553641848dd17800fe559e4ff5d208553e8 ]

xilinx_emaclite looks at the received data to try to determine the
Ethernet packet length but does not properly clamp it if
proto_type == ETH_P_IP or 1500 &lt; proto_type &lt;= 1518, causing a buffer
overflow and a panic via skb_panic() as the length exceeds the allocated
skb size.

Fix those cases.

Also add an additional unconditional check with WARN_ON() at the end.
