dad9f96945 wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: don't dereference hif_dev after re-arming firmware request
ath9k_hif_request_firmware() re-arms an asynchronous firmware load via
request_firmware_nowait(), passing hif_dev as the completion context, and
then still dereferences hif_dev:

	dev_info(&hif_dev->udev->dev, "ath9k_htc: Firmware %s requested\n",
		 hif_dev->fw_name);

The re-armed callback ath9k_hif_usb_firmware_cb() runs on the "events"
workqueue and, when the firmware is missing, walks the retry chain into
ath9k_hif_usb_firmware_fail() -> complete_all(&hif_dev->fw_done). That
releases the wait_for_completion(&hif_dev->fw_done) in a concurrent
ath9k_hif_usb_disconnect(), which then kfree()s hif_dev. The trailing
dev_info() in the frame that re-armed the request can therefore read freed
memory (hif_dev->udev, the first field of struct hif_device_usb):

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ath9k_hif_request_firmware
  Read of size 8 ... by task kworker/...
   ath9k_hif_request_firmware
   ath9k_hif_usb_firmware_cb           drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c:1247
   request_firmware_work_func
  Allocated by ...:
   ath9k_hif_usb_probe                 drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c
  Freed by ...:
   ath9k_hif_usb_disconnect -> kfree   drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c

The fw_done barrier only makes disconnect wait for the firmware chain to
*terminate*; it does not protect the outer ath9k_hif_request_firmware()
frame that re-armed the request and keeps touching hif_dev afterwards.

Drop the post-request dev_info(): it is the only use of hif_dev after the
async request is armed, and it is purely informational (the dev_err() on the
failure path runs only when request_firmware_nowait() did not arm a callback,
so hif_dev is still alive there).

This was first reported by syzbot as a single, non-reproduced crash that was
later auto-obsoleted, and was independently rediscovered by the reFuzz fuzzer,
which produced a C reproducer (USB-gadget connect/disconnect of an ath9k_htc
device whose firmware download fails). The vulnerable code is unchanged and
still present in v7.1-rc6, where the slab-use-after-free reproduces under KASAN
once the (sub-microsecond) race window is widened.

44589c155e wifi: ath9k: Clear DMA descriptors without memset
Clear ath9k DMA descriptors with explicit status word stores instead of
memset(). The descriptor rings are coherent DMA memory, which may be
mapped uncached on 32-bit powerpc. The optimized memset() path can use
dcbz there and trigger an alignment warning.

Use WRITE_ONCE() for the descriptor status words so the compiler keeps
the clears as ordinary stores instead of folding them back into bulk
memset(). This covers AR9003 TX status descriptors as well as the RX
status area cleared when setting up RX descriptors.

1a15bf9708 wifi: cfg80211: remove 5/10 MHz channel support
Remove WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_5_10_MHZ and 5/10 MHz channel
width support. We contemplated this back in early 2023
and didn't do it yet, but nobody stepped up to maintain
it.

It's already _mostly_ dead code since it can really only
be used for AP and maybe IBSS and monitor, but not on a
client since there's no way to scan (and hasn't been in
a very long time, if ever), so the only thing that ever
could really happen with it was run syzbot and trip over
assumptions in the code.

c4f5187364 wifi: ath9k: Remove redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock() in spin_lock
Since commit a8bb74acd8 ("rcu: Consolidate RCU-sched update-side function definitions")
there is no difference between rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_lock_bh() and
rcu_read_lock_sched() in terms of RCU read section and the relevant grace
period. That means that spin_lock(), which implies rcu_read_lock_sched(),
also implies rcu_read_lock().

There is no need no explicitly start a RCU read section if one has already
been started implicitly by spin_lock().

Simplify the code and remove the inner rcu_read_lock() invocation.

34a5329bee wifi: ath9k: Obtain system GPIOS from descriptors
The ath9k has an odd use of system-wide GPIOs: if the chip
does not have internal GPIO capability, it will try to obtain a
GPIO line from the system GPIO controller:

  if (BIT(gpio) & ah->caps.gpio_mask)
        ath9k_hw_gpio_cfg_wmac(...);
  else if (AR_SREV_SOC(ah))
        ath9k_hw_gpio_cfg_soc(ah, gpio, out, label);

Where ath9k_hw_gpio_cfg_soc() will attempt to issue
gpio_request_one() passing the local GPIO number of the controller
(0..31) to gpio_request_one().

This is somewhat peculiar and possibly even dangerous: there is
nowadays no guarantee of the numbering of these system-wide
GPIOs, and assuming that GPIO 0..31 as used by ath9k would
correspond to GPIOs 0..31 on the system as a whole seems a bit
wild.

Register all 32 GPIOs at index 0..31 directly in the ATH79K
GPIO driver and associate with the NULL device (making them
widely available) if and only if we are probing ATH79K wifi
from the AHB bus (used for SoCs). We obtain these offsets from
the NULL device if necessary.

These GPIOs should ideally be defined in the device tree
instead, but we have no control over that for the legacy
code path.

Testcompiled with the ath79 defconfig.

d5ad6ab61c wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure
ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them
free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning
TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the

Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent,
and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76,
mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Use a qca prefix as is done for the only other property: qca,no-eeprom.

b74947b4f6 wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: Add support to get radio index
Currently, per-radio attributes are set on per-phy basis, i.e., all the
radios present in a wiphy will take attributes values sent from user. But
each radio in a wiphy can get different values from userspace based on
its requirement.

To extend support to set per-radio attributes, add support to get radio
index from userspace. Add an NL attribute - NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RADIO_INDEX,
to get user specified radio index for which attributes should be changed.
Pass this to individual drivers, so that the drivers can use this radio
index to change per-radio attributes when necessary. Currently, per-radio
attributes identified are:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_TX_POWER_LEVEL
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_RX
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_SHORT
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RETRY_LONG
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FRAG_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_RTS_THRESHOLD
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_MEMORY_LIMIT
NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM

By default, the radio index is set to -1. This means the attribute should
be treated as a global configuration. If the user has not specified any
index, then the radio index passed to individual drivers would be -1. This
would indicate that the attribute applies to all radios in that wiphy.

hence there is a need to report tx power of specified link
rather deflink.

Add changes to report tx power of requested link from mac80211,
also pass link id as an argument in get_tx_power op so that supported
drivers can use it to report link's tx power.

b5f871ab49 wifi: ath9k: Add RX inactivity detection and reset chip when it occurs
Some ath9k chips can, seemingly at random, end up in a state which can
be described as "deaf". No or nearly no interrupts are generated anymore
for incoming packets. Existing links either break down after a while and
new links will not be established.

The circumstances leading to this "deafness" is still unclear, but some
particular chips (especially 2-stream 11n SoCs, but also others) can go
'deaf' when running AP or mesh (or both) after some time. It's probably
a hardware issue, and doing a channel scan to trigger a chip
reset (which one normally can't do on an AP interface) recovers the
hardware.

The only way the driver can detect this state, is by detecting if there
has been no RX activity for a while. In this case we can proactively
reset the chip (which only takes a small number of milliseconds, so
shouldn't interrupt things too much if it has been idle for several
seconds), which functions as a workaround.

OpenWrt, and various derivatives, have been carrying versions of this
workaround for years, that were never upstreamed. One version[0],
written by Felix Fietkau, used a simple counter and only reset if there
was precisely zero RX activity for a long period of time. This had the
problem that in some cases a small number of interrupts would appear
even if the device was otherwise not responsive. For this reason,
another version[1], written by Simon Wunderlich and Sven Eckelmann, used
a time-based approach to calculate the average number of RX interrupts
over a longer (four-second) interval, and reset the chip when seeing
less than one interrupt per second over this period. However, that
version relied on debugfs counters to keep track of the number of
interrupts, which means it didn't work at all if debugfs was not
enabled.

This patch unifies the two versions: it uses the same approach as Felix'
patch to count the number of RX handler invocations, but uses the same
time-based windowing approach as Simon and Sven's patch to still handle
the case where occasional interrupts appear but the device is otherwise
deaf.

Since this is based on ideas by all three people, but not actually
directly derived from any of the patches, I'm including Suggested-by
tags from Simon, Sven and Felix below, which should hopefully serve as
proper credit.

b41f96ecb9 wifi: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()
After commit 0edb555a65 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/wireless to use
.remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct
platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the
same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure
member name in the driver initializer.

En passant several whitespace changes are done to make indentation
consistent in the struct initializers.
