Comedi has two sorts of minor devices:
(a) normal board minor devices in the range 0 to
COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS-1 inclusive; and
(b) special subdevice minor devices in the range COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS
upwards that are used to open the same underlying comedi device as the
normal board minor devices, but with non-default read and write
subdevices for asynchronous commands.
The special subdevice minor devices get created when a board supporting
asynchronous commands is attached to a normal board minor device, and
destroyed when the board is detached from the normal board minor device.
One way to attach or detach a board is by using the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG
ioctl. This should only be used on normal board minors as the special
subdevice minors are too ephemeral. In particular, the change
introduced in commit 7d3135af399e92cf4c9bbc5f86b6c140aab3b88c ("staging:
comedi: prevent auto-unconfig of manually configured devices") breaks
horribly for special subdevice minor devices.
Since there's no legitimate use for the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl on a
special subdevice minor device node, disallow it and return -ENOTTY.

The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.
This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.
The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations. But that's a subject for a
different patch.

Commit 99fc86450c439039d2ef88d06b222fd51a779176 "ALSA: usb-mixer:
parse descriptors with structs" introduced a set of useful parsers
for descriptors. Unfortunately the parses for the Processing Unit
Descriptor came with a very subtle bug...
Functions uac_processing_unit_iProcessing() and
uac_processing_unit_specific() were indexing the baSourceID array
forgetting the fields before the iProcessing and process-specific
descriptors.
The problem was observed with Sound Blaster Extigy mixer,
where nNrModes in Up/Down-mix Processing Unit Descriptor
was accessed at offset 10 of the descriptor (value 0)
instead of offset 15 (value 7). In result the resulting
control had interesting limit values:

Currently, nlmclnt_lock will break out of the for(;;) loop when
the reclaimer wakes up the blocking lock thread by setting
nlm_lck_denied_grace_period. This causes the lock request to fail
with an ENOLCK error.
The intention was always to ensure that we resend the lock request
after the grace period has expired.
Rob van der Heij reported the following (paraphrased) on private mail.
The scenario is that I want to avoid backups to fill up the page
cache and purge stuff that is more likely to be used again (this is
with s390x Linux on z/VM, so I don't give it as much memory that
we don't care anymore). So I have something with LD_PRELOAD that
intercepts the close() call (from tar, in this case) and issues
a posix_fadvise() just before closing the file.
This mostly works, except for small files (less than 14 pages)
that remains in page cache after the face.
Unfortunately Rob has not had a chance to test this exact patch but the
test program below should be reproducing the problem he described.
The issue is the per-cpu pagevecs for LRU additions. If the pages are
added by one CPU but fadvise() is called on another then the pages
remain resident as the invalidate_mapping_pages() only drains the local
pagevecs via its call to pagevec_release(). The user-visible effect is
that a program that uses fadvise() properly is not obeyed.
A possible fix for this is to put the necessary smarts into
invalidate_mapping_pages() to globally drain the LRU pagevecs if a
pagevec page could not be discarded. The downside with this is that an
inode cache shrink would send a global IPI and memory pressure
potentially causing global IPI storms is very undesirable.
Instead, this patch adds a check during fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to
check if invalidate_mapping_pages() discarded all the requested pages.
If a subset of pages are discarded it drains the LRU pagevecs and tries
again. If the second attempt fails, it assumes it is due to the pages
being mapped, locked or dirty and does not care. With this patch, an
application using fadvise() correctly will be obeyed but there is a
downside that a malicious application can force the kernel to send
global IPIs and increase overhead.
If accepted, I would like this to be considered as a -stable candidate.
It's not an urgent issue but it's a system call that is not working as
advertised which is weak.
The following test program demonstrates the problem. It should never
report that pages are still resident but will without this patch. It
assumes that CPU 0 and 1 exist.

int fd;

The tmpfs remount logic preserves filesystem mempolicy if the mpol=M
option is not specified in the remount request. A new policy can be
specified if mpol=M is given.
Before this patch remounting an mpol bound tmpfs without specifying
mpol= mount option in the remount request would set the filesystem's
mempolicy object to a freed mempolicy object.
To reproduce the problem boot a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC kernel and run:
# mkdir /tmp/x
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M,mpol=interleave nodev /tmp/x
Non-debug kernels will not crash immediately because referencing the
dangling mpol will not cause a fault. Instead the filesystem will
reference a freed mempolicy object, which will cause unpredictable
behavior.
The problem boils down to a dropped mpol reference below if
shmem_parse_options() does not allocate a new mpol:

immediately aborts with a -EINVAL return code. This is however a valid
parameter. This abort occurs only if unmount is the sole event
parameter. If other event parameters are supplied, then the unmount
event wait will work.
The problem was introduced by commit 44b350fc23e ("inotify: Fix mask
checks"). In that commit, it states:
The mask checks in inotify_update_existing_watch() and
inotify_new_watch() are useless because inotify_arg_to_mask()
sets FS_IN_IGNORED and FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD bits anyway.
But instead of removing the useless checks, it did this:
mask = inotify_arg_to_mask(arg);
- if (unlikely(!mask))
+ if (unlikely(!(mask & IN_ALL_EVENTS)))
return -EINVAL;
The problem is that IN_ALL_EVENTS doesn't include IN_UNMOUNT, and other
parts of the code keep IN_UNMOUNT separate from IN_ALL_EVENTS. So the
check should be:
if (unlikely(!(mask & (IN_ALL_EVENTS | IN_UNMOUNT))))
But inotify_arg_to_mask(arg) always sets the IN_UNMOUNT bit in the mask
anyway, so the check is always going to pass and thus should simply be
removed. Also note that inotify_arg_to_mask completely controls what
mask bits get set from arg, there's no way for invalid bits to get
enabled there.
Lets fix it by simply removing the useless broken checks.

On store status we need to copy the current state of registers
into a save area. Currently we might save stale versions:
The sie state descriptor doesnt have fields for guest ACRS,FPRS,
those registers are simply stored in the host registers. The host
program must copy these away if needed. We do that in vcpu_put/load.
If we now do a store status in KVM code between vcpu_put/load, the
saved values are not up-to-date. Lets collect the ACRS/FPRS before
saving them.
This also fixes some strange problems with hotplug and virtio-ccw,
since the low level machine check handler (on hotplug a machine check
will happen) will revalidate all registers with the content of the
save area.
Running under a kvm host does not necessarily imply the presence of
a page mapped above the main memory with the virtio information;
however, the code includes a hard coded access to that page.
Instead, check for the presence of the page and exit gracefully
before we hit an addressing exception if it does not exist.
There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and

mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B).

Additionally, the list traversal in __mmu_notifier_release() is not
protected by the by the mmu_notifier_mm->hlist_lock which can result in
callouts to the ->release() notifier from both mmu_notifier_unregister()
and __mmu_notifier_release().

Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up
with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm. So all mms share a global
srcu. Note that during large mmu_notifier activity exit & unregister
paths might hang for longer periods, but it is tolerable for current

A bus_type has a list of devices (klist_devices), but the list and the
subsys_private structure that contains it are not initialized until the
bus_type is registered with bus_register().
The panic/reboot path has fixups that look up devices in pci_bus_type. If
we panic before registering pci_bus_type, the bus_type exists but the list
does not, so mach_reboot_fixups() trips over a null pointer and panics
again:
mach_reboot_fixups
pci_get_device
..
bus_find_device(&pci_bus_type, ...)
bus->p is NULL
Joonsoo reported a problem when panicking before PCI was initialized.
I think this patch should be sufficient to replace the patch he posted
here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/28/75 ("[PATCH] x86, reboot: skip
reboot_fixups in early boot phase")
There is a loophole between Xen's current implementation of
pv-spinlocks and the scheduler. This was triggerable through
a testcase until v3.6 changed the TLB flushing code. The
problem potentially is still there just not observable in the
same way.
What could happen was (is):
1. CPU n tries to schedule task x away and goes into a slow
wait for the runq lock of CPU n-# (must be one with a lower
number).
2. CPU n-#, while processing softirqs, tries to balance domains
and goes into a slow wait for its own runq lock (for updating
some records). Since this is a spin_lock_irqsave in softirq
context, interrupts will be re-enabled for the duration of
the poll_irq hypercall used by Xen.
3. Before the runq lock of CPU n-# is unlocked, CPU n-1 receives
an interrupt (e.g. endio) and when processing the interrupt,
tries to wake up task x. But that is in schedule and still
on_cpu, so try_to_wake_up goes into a tight loop.
4. The runq lock of CPU n-# gets unlocked, but the message only
gets sent to the first waiter, which is CPU n-# and that is
busily stuck.
5. CPU n-# never returns from the nested interruption to take and
release the lock because the scheduler uses a busy wait.
And CPU n never finishes the task migration because the unlock
notification only went to CPU n-#.
To avoid this and since the unlocking code has no real sense of
which waiter is best suited to grab the lock, just send the IPI
to all of them. This causes the waiters to return from the hyper-
call (those not interrupted at least) and do active spinlocking.

According to the other code in this driver and similar

with spin_unlock_irq.
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in
timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence.
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer
base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue
versus rq->lock.
If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on
the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU
can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call
will unlock the wrong lock.

Commit c060f943d092 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.
However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.
This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.
In the meantime, commit c060f943d092 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

printk: fix buffer overflow when calling log_prefix function from call_console_drivers
This patch corrects a buffer overflow in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling
log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers().
This bug existed in previous releases but has been revealed with commit 162a7e7500f9664636e649ba59defe541b7c2c60 (2.6.39 => 3.0) that made changes
about how to allocate memory for early printk buffer (use of memblock_alloc).
It disappears with commit 7ff9554bb578ba02166071d2d487b7fc7d860d62 (3.4 => 3.5)
that does a refactoring of printk buffer management.
In log_prefix(), the access to "p[0]", "p[1]", "p[2]" or
"simple_strtoul(&p[1], &endp, 10)" may cause a buffer overflow as this
function is called from call_console_drivers by passing "&LOG_BUF(cur_index)"
where the index must be masked to do not exceed the buffer's boundary.
The trick is to prepare in call_console_drivers() a buffer with the necessary
data (PRI field of syslog message) to be safely evaluated in log_prefix().
This patch can be applied to stable kernel branches 3.0.y, 3.2.y and 3.4.y.
Without this patch, one can freeze a server running this loop from shell :
$ export DUMMY=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '12345AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBNazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn' | head -c255`
$ while true do ; echo $DUMMY > /dev/kmsg ; done
The "server freeze" depends on where memblock_alloc does allocate printk buffer :
if the buffer overflow is inside another kernel allocation the problem may not
be revealed, else the server may hangs up.

Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake()
or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless
the driver explicitly disables wakeup. Many drivers never disable
wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are
removed, e.g., via hotplug. A subsequent PME poll will oops when
it tries to touch the device.
This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes
the device from pci_pme_list. This is safe even if the device never
had PME# enabled.
This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter

Drew Jones while working on CVE-2013-0190 found that that unprivileged guest user
in 32bit PV guest can use to crash the > guest with the panic like this:
Petr says: "
I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "
Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:
"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."
The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.
Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.
The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.
This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.
Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.

A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback.
If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the
device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially
hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be
penalised.
As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a
new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests
on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring
contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this
insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating
any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in
xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period.
Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error
into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown
afterwards.
This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain.

commit 35f9c09fe9c72e (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all
frags but the last one for a splice() call.
The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on
splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe,
or a smaller one.
But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails.
The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a
splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP
sessions.
We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment
is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1)
Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection
and test programs.

There are transients during normal FRTO procedure during which
the packets_in_flight can go to zero between write_queue state
updates and firing the resulting segments out. As FRTO processing
occurs during that window the check must be more precise to
not match "spuriously" :-). More specificly, e.g., when
packets_in_flight is zero but FLAG_DATA_ACKED is true the problematic
branch that set cwnd into zero would not be taken and new segments
might be sent out later.

uncovered a bug in FRTO code :
tcp_process_frto() is setting snd_cwnd to 0 if the number
of in flight packets is 0.
As Neal pointed out, if no packet is in flight we lost our
chance to disambiguate whether a loss timeout was spurious.
We should assume it was a proper loss.

association (The duplicate init case), resulted in a loss of receive window
space. He tracked down the root cause to sctp_outq_teardown, which discarded
all the data on an outq during a re-initalization of the corresponding
association, but never reset the outq->outstanding_data field to zero. I wrote,
and he tested this fix, which does a proper full re-initalization of the outq,
fixing this problem, and hopefully future proofing us from simmilar issues down
the road.

iphase atm device driver, which causes the compile error below.
Unfortunately the s390 typedef can't be renamed, since it's a user visible api,
nor can I change the include order in s390 code to avoid the conflict.
So simply rename the iphase typedef to a new name. Fixes this compile error:

When releasing a packet socket, the routine packet_set_ring() is reused
to free rings instead of allocating them. But when calling it for the
first time, it fills req->tp_block_nr with the value of rb->pg_vec_len
which in the second invocation makes it bail out since req->tp_block_nr
is greater zero but req->tp_block_size is zero.
This patch solves the problem by passing a zeroed auto-variable to
packet_set_ring() upon each invocation from packet_release().
As far as I can tell, this issue exists even since 69e3c75 (net: TX_RING
and packet mmap), i.e. the original inclusion of TX ring support into
af_packet, but applies only to sockets with both RX and TX ring
allocated, which is probably why this was unnoticed all the time.

Ben Greear reported crashes in ip_rcv_finish() on a stress
test involving many macvlans.
We tracked the bug to a dst use after free. ip_rcv_finish()
was calling dst->input() and got garbage for dst->input value.
It appears the bug is in loopback driver, lacking
a skb_dst_force() before calling netif_rx().
As a result, a non refcounted dst, normally protected by a
RCU read_lock section, was escaping this section and could
be freed before the packet being processed.
This bug was introduced in linux-2.6.35, in commit 7fee226ad2397b (net: add a noref bit on skb dst)
skb_dst_force() is enforced in dev_queue_xmit() for devices having a
qdisc.

This was introduced in commit 6dccd16 "r8169: merge with version
6.001.00 of Realtek's r8169 driver". I did not find the version
6.001.00 online, but in 6.002.00 or any later r8169 from Realtek
this hunk is no longer present.
Also commit 05af214 "r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC
rev d" claims to have fixed this issue otherwise.
The magic compare mask of 0xfffe000 is dubious as it masks
parts of the Reserved part, and parts of the VLAN tag. But this
does not make much sense as the VLAN tag parts are perfectly
valid there. In matter of fact this seems to be triggered with
any VLAN tagged packet as RxVlanTag bit is matched. I would
suspect 0xfffe0000 was intended to test reserved part only.
Finally, this hunk is evil as it can cause more packets to be
handled than what was NAPI quota causing net/core/dev.c:
net_rx_action(): WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight) to trigger, and
mess up the NAPI state causing device to hang.
As result, any system using VLANs and having high receive
traffic (so that NAPI poll budget limits rtl_rx) would result
in device hang.

mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.
we do not disable PS while going back to operational channel (on
ieee80211_scan_state_suspend) and deffer that until scan finish.
But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP
without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch
to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS.
Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered
by AP.
To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when
going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was
before.

This patch (as1654) fixes a very old bug in ehci-hcd, connected with
scheduling of periodic split transfers. The calculations for
full/low-speed bus usage are all carried out after the correction for
bit-stuffing has been applied, but the values in the max_tt_usecs
array assume it hasn't been. The array should allow for allocation of
up to 90% of the bus capacity, which is 900 us, not 780 us.
The symptom caused by this bug is that any isochronous transfer to a
full-speed device with a maxpacket size larger than about 980 bytes is
always rejected with a -ENOSPC error.

There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without
any other filesystem activity during significant time.
The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that
updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set. But when GC is working alone the
nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag.
As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time
and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super
root placement.
SYMPTOMS:
Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with
very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some
cases).
REPRODUCING PATH:
1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't
make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume.
2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example,
dd if=/dev/zero of=<file_name> bs=1073741824 count=200). The size of
file defines duration of GC working.
3. Then it needs to delete file.
4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0". When you
start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated
by once. So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 -
40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually.
5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume. As a
result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time.
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call.
For some reason they didn't get replaced so far by their
paravirt equivalents, resulting in code to be run with
interrupts disabled that doesn't expect so (causing, in the
observed case, a BUG_ON() to trigger) when syscall auditing is
enabled.
David (Cc-ed) came up with an identical fix, so likely this can
be taken to count as an ack from him.

provides several ways to execute arbitary code in kernel space.
Sample code and documentation on doing this is circulating and
MSR attacks are used on Windows 64bit rootkits already.
In the Linux case you still need to be able to open the device
file so the impact is fairly limited and reduces the security of
some capability and security model based systems down towards
that of a generic "root owns the box" setup.
Therefore they should require CAP_SYS_RAWIO to prevent an
elevation of capabilities. The impact of this is fairly minimal
on most setups because they don't have heavy use of
capabilities. Those using SELinux, SMACK or AppArmor rules might
want to consider if their rulesets on the MSR driver could be
tighter.

I get the following warning every day with v3.7, once or
twice a day:
[ 2235.186027] WARNING: at /mnt/sda7/kernel/linux/arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c:109 default_send_IPI_mask_logical+0x2f/0xb8()
As explained by Linus as well:
|
| Once we've done the "list_add_rcu()" to add it to the
| queue, we can have (another) IPI to the target CPU that can
| now see it and clear the mask.
|
| So by the time we get to actually send the IPI, the mask might
| have been cleared by another IPI.
|
This patch also fixes a system hang problem, if the data->cpumask
gets cleared after passing this point:
if (WARN_ONCE(!mask, "empty IPI mask"))
return;
then the problem in commit 83d349f35e1a ("x86: don't send an IPI to
the empty set of CPU's") will happen again.

The length parameter should be sizeof(req->name) - 1 because there is no
guarantee that string provided by userspace will contain the trailing
'\0'.
Can be easily reproduced by manually setting req->name to 128 non-zero
bytes prior to ioctl(HIDPCONNADD) and checking the device name setup on
input subsystem:
Commit 23caaf19b11e (ALSA: usb-mixer: Add support for Audio Class v2.0)
forgot to adjust the length check for UAC 2.0 feature unit descriptors.
This would make the code abort on encountering a feature unit without
per-channel controls, and thus prevented the driver to work with any
device having such a unit, such as the RME Babyface or Fireface UCX.

When the next beacon is sent, the ath_buf from the previous run is reused.
If getting a new beacon from mac80211 fails, bf->bf_mpdu is not reset, yet
the skb is freed, leading to a double-free on the next beacon tx attempt,
resulting in a system crash.

SKBs that are allocated in the HTC layer do not have callbacks
registered and hence ended up not being freed, Fix this by freeing
them properly in the TX completion routine.

After sending reset command wait for its command complete event before
sending next command. Some chips sends CC event for command received
before reset if reset was send before chip replied with CC.
This is also required by specification that host shall not send
additional HCI commands before receiving CC for reset.
Subhash Jadavani reported this partial backtrace:
Now consider this call stack from MMC block driver (this is on the ARMv7
based board):
[<c001b50c>] (v7_dma_inv_range+0x30/0x48) from [<c0017b8c>] (dma_cache_maint_page+0x1c4/0x24c)
[<c0017b8c>] (dma_cache_maint_page+0x1c4/0x24c) from [<c0017c28>] (___dma_page_cpu_to_dev+0x14/0x1c)
[<c0017c28>] (___dma_page_cpu_to_dev+0x14/0x1c) from [<c0017ff8>] (dma_map_sg+0x3c/0x114)
This is caused by incrementing the struct page pointer, and running off
the end of the sparsemem page array. Fix this by incrementing by pfn
instead, and convert the pfn to a struct page.

When it goes to error through line 144, the memory allocated to *devname is
not freed, and the caller doesn't free it either in line 250. So we free the
memroy of *devname in function cifs_compose_mount_options() when it goes to
error.
