[ Upstream commit da02a1824884d6c84c5e5b5ac373b0c9e3288ec2 ]

The function 'mpc_rcvd_sweep_req(mpcginfo)' is called conditionally
from function 'ctcmpc_unpack_skb'. It frees passed mpcginfo.
After that a call to function 'kfree' in function 'ctcmpc_unpack_skb'
frees it again.

Remove 'kfree' call in function 'mpc_rcvd_sweep_req(mpcginfo)'.

Bug detected by the clang static analyzer.

<title>s390/qeth: Fix potential loss of L3-IP@ in case of network issues</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3bc35da667228eed70f6a8cdbac1029d0c6a462b</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 2fe8a236436fe40d8d26a1af8d150fc80f04ee1a ]

Symptom:
In case of a bad cable connection (e.g. dirty optics) a fast sequence of
network DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP could happen. UP triggers recovery of the qeth
interface. In case of a second DOWN while recovery is still ongoing, it
can happen that the IP@ of a Layer3 qeth interface is lost and will not
be recovered by the second UP.

Problem:
When registration of IP addresses with Layer 3 qeth devices fails, (e.g.
because of bad address format) the respective IP address is deleted from
its hash-table in the driver. If registration fails because of a ENETDOWN
condition, the address should stay in the hashtable, so a subsequent
recovery can restore it.

3caa4af834df ("qeth: keep ip-address after LAN_OFFLINE failure")
fixes this for registration failures during normal operation, but not
during recovery.

Solution:
Keep L3-IP address in case of ENETDOWN in qeth_l3_recover_ip(). For
consistency with qeth_l3_add_ip() we also keep it in case of EADDRINUSE,
i.e. for some reason the card already/still has this address registered.

[ Upstream commit bb16db8393658e0978c3f0d30ae069e878264fa3 ]

With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which
reveals:

  drivers/s390/net/lcs.c:2090:21: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'netdev_tx_t (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' (aka 'enum netdev_tx (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)') with an expression of type 'int (struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
          .ndo_start_xmit         = lcs_start_xmit,

-&gt;ndo_start_xmit() in 'struct net_device_ops' expects a return type of
'netdev_tx_t', not 'int'. Adjust the return type of lcs_start_xmit() to
match the prototype's to resolve the warning and potential CFI failure,
should s390 select ARCH_SUPPORTS_CFI_CLANG in the future.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7ed10e16e50daf74460f54bc922e27c6863c8d61 ]

When qeth_iqd_tx_complete() detects that a TX buffer requires additional
async completion via QAOB, it might fail to replace the queue entry's
metadata (and ends up triggering recovery).

Assume now that the device gets torn down, overruling the recovery.
If the QAOB notification then arrives before the tear down has
sufficiently progressed, the buffer state is changed to
QETH_QDIO_BUF_HANDLED_DELAYED by qeth_qdio_handle_aob().

The tear down code calls qeth_drain_output_queue(), where
qeth_cleanup_handled_pending() will then attempt to replace such a
buffer _again_. If it succeeds this time, the buffer ends up dangling in
its replacement's -&gt;next_pending list ... where it will never be freed,
since there's no further call to qeth_cleanup_handled_pending().

But the second attempt isn't actually needed, we can simply leave the
buffer on the queue and re-use it after a potential recovery has
completed. The qeth_clear_output_buffer() in qeth_drain_output_queue()
will ensure that it's in a clean state again.
