[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 003/103] ath10k: fix kernel panic by moving pci flush after napi_disable

[Sasha Levin]

From: Tamizh chelvam <tamizhr@codeaurora.org>

[ Upstream commit bd1d395070cca4f42a93e520b0597274789274a4 ]

When continuously running wifi up/down sequence, the napi poll
can be scheduled after the CE buffers being freed by ath10k_pci_flush

Steps:
  In a certain condition, during wifi down below scenario might occur.

ath10k_stop->ath10k_hif_stop->napi_schedule->ath10k_pci_flush->napi_poll(napi_synchronize).

In the above scenario, CE buffer entries will be freed up and become NULL in
ath10k_pci_flush. And the napi_poll has been invoked after the flush process
and it will try to get the skb from the CE buffer entry and perform some action on that.
Since the CE buffer already cleaned by pci flush this action will create NULL
pointer dereference and trigger below kernel panic.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000005c

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 016/103] ath10k: limit available channels via DT ieee80211-freq-limit

[Sasha Levin]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann@openmesh.com>

[ Upstream commit 34d5629d2ca89d847b7040762b87964c696c14da ]

Tri-band devices (1x 2.4GHz + 2x 5GHz) often incorporate special filters in
the RX and TX path. These filtered channel can in theory still be used by
the hardware but the signal strength is reduced so much that it makes no
sense.

There is already a DT property to limit the available channels but ath10k
has to manually call this functionality to limit the currrently set wiphy
channels further.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 042/103] ath10k: wmi: disable softirq's while calling ieee80211_rx

[Sasha Levin]

From: Erik Stromdahl <erik.stromdahl@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 37f62c0d5822f631b786b29a1b1069ab714d1a28 ]

This is done in order not to trig the below warning in
ieee80211_rx_napi:

WARN_ON_ONCE(softirq_count() == 0);

ieee80211_rx_napi requires that softirq's are disabled during
execution.

The High latency bus drivers (SDIO and USB) sometimes call the wmi
ep_rx_complete callback from non softirq context, resulting in a trigger
of the above warning.

Calling ieee80211_rx_ni with softirq's already disabled (e.g., from
softirq context) should be safe as the local_bh_disable and
local_bh_enable functions (called from ieee80211_rx_ni) are fully
reentrant.
