[ Upstream commit 303c017821d88ebad887814114d4e5966d320b28 ]

Currently during resume, QMI target memory is not properly handled, resulting
in kernel crash in case DMA remap is not supported:

BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/u16:54 pfn:36e80
page: refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x36e80
page dumped because: nonzero _refcount
Call Trace:

__free_pages_ok
__free_pages
dma_direct_free
dma_free_attrs
ath12k_qmi_free_target_mem_chunk
ath12k_qmi_msg_mem_request_cb

The reason is:
Once ath12k module is loaded, firmware sends memory request to host. In case
DMA remap not supported, ath12k refuses the first request due to failure in
allocating with large segment size:

ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi firmware request memory request
ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi mem seg type 1 size 7077888
ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi mem seg type 4 size 8454144
ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi dma allocation failed (7077888 B type 1), will try later with small size
ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi delays mem_request 2
ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi firmware request memory request

Later firmware comes back with more but small segments and allocation
succeeds:

ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi mem seg type 1 size 524288
ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi mem seg type 1 size 524288

ath12k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qmi mem seg type 1 size 524288

Now ath12k is working. If suspend is triggered, firmware will be reloaded
during resume. As same as before, firmware requests two large segments at
first. In ath12k_qmi_msg_mem_request_cb() segment count and size are
assigned:

ab->qmi.mem_seg_count == 2
ab->qmi.target_mem[0].size == 7077888
ab->qmi.target_mem[1].size == 8454144

Then allocation failed like before and ath12k_qmi_free_target_mem_chunk()
is called to free all allocated segments. Note the first segment is skipped
because its v.addr is cleared due to allocation failure:

chunk->v.addr = dma_alloc_coherent()

Also note that this leaks that segment because it has not been freed.

While freeing the second segment, a size of 8454144 is passed to
dma_free_coherent(). However remember that this segment is allocated at
the first time firmware is loaded, before suspend. So its real size is
524288, much smaller than 8454144. As a result kernel found we are freeing
some memory which is in use and thus crashed.

So one possible fix would be to free those segments during suspend. This
works because with them freed, ath12k_qmi_free_target_mem_chunk() does
nothing: all segment addresses are NULL so dma_free_coherent() is not called.

But note that ath11k has similar logic but never hits this issue. Reviewing
code there shows the luck comes from QMI memory reuse logic. So the decision
is to port it to ath12k. Like in ath11k, the crash is avoided by adding
prev_size to target_mem_chunk structure and caching real segment size in it,
then prev_size instead of current size is passed to dma_free_coherent(),
no unexpected memory is freed now.

Also reuse m3 buffer.
