Driver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB
device while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to
take additional references unless the structures are needed after
disconnect.
Drop the redundant device reference to reduce cargo culting, make it
easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is needed, and reduce
the risk of memory leaks when drivers fail to release it.

The action code actually serves to identify the type of action
frame, so it really isn't part of the per-type structure. Pull
it out and have it in the general action frame format.
In theory, whether or not the action code is present in this
way is up to each category, but all categories that are defined
right now all have that value.
While at it, and since this change requires changing all users,
remove the 'u' and make it an anonymous union in this case, so
that all code using this changes.
Change IEEE80211_MIN_ACTION_SIZE to take an argument which says
how much of the frame is needed, e.g. category, action_code or
the specific frame type that's defined in the union. Again this
also ensures that all code is updated.
In some cases, fix bugs where the SKB length was checked after
having accessed beyond the checked length, in particular in FTM
code, e.g. ieee80211_is_ftm().

The irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet is initialized in rtl_pci_init() and
scheduled when RTL_IMR_BCNINT interrupt is triggered by hardware.
But it is never killed in rtl_pci_deinit(). When the rtlwifi card
probe fails or is being detached, the ieee80211_hw is deallocated.
However, irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet may still be running or pending,
leading to use-after-free when the freed ieee80211_hw is accessed
in _rtl_pci_prepare_bcn_tasklet().
Similar to irq_tasklet, add tasklet_kill() in rtl_pci_deinit() to
ensure that irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet is properly terminated before
the ieee80211_hw is released.
The issue was identified through static analysis.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

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.

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 *".

Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
For more details see the Link tag below.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:
commit 128ea9f6cc ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566 ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
This change adds the WQ_UNBOUND flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be unbound, because this specific workload has no
benefit being per-cpu.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

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.

txpower_info_{2g,5g} are too big to fit on the stack, but in most of the
rtlwifi variants this stays below the warning limit for stack frames.
In rtl8192ee and a few others, I see a case where clang decides to fully
inline this into rtl92ee_read_eeprom_info, triggering this warning:
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192ee/hw.c:2178:6: error: stack frame size (1312) exceeds limit (1280) in 'rtl92ee_read_eeprom_info' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
Mark _rtl92ee_read_txpower_info_from_hwpg() as noinline_for_stack to
and mark _rtl92ee_get_chnl_group() as __always_inline to make clang
behave the same way as gcc. Inlining _rtl92ee_get_chnl_group helps
let the compiler see that the index is always in range. The same
change appears to be necessary in all rtlwifi variants.
A more thorough approach would be to avoid the use of the two structures
on the stack entirely and combine them with the struct rtl_efuse
data that is dynamically allocated and holds the same information.

commit 2ca20f79e0 ("rtlwifi: Add usb driver")
but aren't wired up anywhere (though commit 442888c706 ("rtlwifi:
rtl8192cu: Add routines dm, fw, led and sw") added commented
out assignments).
Remove them.

RTL8723BE found on some ASUSTek laptops, such as F441U and X555UQ with
subsystem ID 11ad:1723 are known to output large amounts of PCIe AER
errors during and after boot up, causing heavy lags and at times lock-ups:
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: AER: Correctable error message received from 0000:00:1c.5
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Correctable, type=Physical Layer, (Receiver ID)
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: device [8086:9d15] error status/mask=00000001/00002000
pcieport 0000:00:1c.5: [ 0] RxErr
Disable ASPM on this combo as a quirk.
This patch is a revision of a previous patch (linked below) which
attempted to disable ASPM for RTL8723BE on all Intel Skylake and Kaby Lake
PCIe bridges. I take a more conservative approach as all known reports
point to ASUSTek laptops of these two generations with this particular
wireless card.
Please note, however, before the rtl8723be finishes probing, the AER
errors remained. After the module finishes probing, all AER errors would
indeed be eliminated, along with heavy lags, poor network throughput,
and/or occasional lock-ups.

Deinitialize at reverse order when probe fails.
When init_sw_vars fails, rtl_deinit_core should not be called, specially
now that it destroys the rtl_wq workqueue.
And call rtl_pci_deinit and deinit_sw_vars, otherwise, memory will be
leaked.
Remove pci_set_drvdata call as it will already be cleaned up by the core
driver code and could lead to memory leaks too. cf. commit 8d450935ae
("wireless: rtlwifi: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()") and

rtl_wq is allocated at rtl_init_core, so it makes more sense to destroy it
at rtl_deinit_core. In the case of USB, where _rtl_usb_init does not
require anything to be undone, that is fine. But for PCI, rtl_pci_init,
which is called after rtl_init_core, needs to deallocate data, but only if
it has been called.
That means that destroying the workqueue needs to be done whether
rtl_pci_init has been called or not. And since rtl_pci_deinit was doing it,
it has to be moved out of there.
It makes more sense to move it to rtl_deinit_core and have it done in both
cases, USB and PCI.
Since this is a requirement for a followup memory leak fix, mark this as
fixing such memory leak.

Commit 2461c7d60f ("rtlwifi: Update header file") introduced a global
list of private data structures.
Later on, commit 26634c4b18 ("rtlwifi Modify existing bits to match
vendor version 2013.02.07") started adding the private data to that list at
probe time and added a hook, check_buddy_priv to find the private data from
a similar device.
However, that function was never used.
Besides, though there is a lock for that list, it is never used. And when
the probe fails, the private data is never removed from the list. This
would cause a second probe to access freed memory.
Remove the unused hook, structures and members, which will prevent the
potential race condition on the list and its corruption during a second
probe when probe fails.

Syzkaller reported a hung task with uevent_show() on stack trace. That
specific issue was addressed by another commit [0], but even with that
fix applied (for example, running v6.12-rc5) we face another type of hung
task that comes from the same reproducer [1]. By investigating that, we
could narrow it to the following path:
(a) Syzkaller emulates a Realtek USB WiFi adapter using raw-gadget and
dummy_hcd infrastructure.
(b) During the probe of rtl8192cu, the driver ends-up performing an efuse
read procedure (which is related to EEPROM load IIUC), and here lies the
issue: the function read_efuse() calls read_efuse_byte() many times, as
loop iterations depending on the efuse size (in our example, 512 in total).
This procedure for reading efuse bytes relies in a loop that performs an
I/O read up to *10k* times in case of failures. We measured the time of
the loop inside read_efuse_byte() alone, and in this reproducer (which
involves the dummy_hcd emulation layer), it takes 15 seconds each. As a
consequence, we have the driver stuck in its probe routine for big time,
exposing a stack trace like below if we attempt to reboot the system, for
example:

We propose hereby to drastically reduce the attempts of doing the I/O
reads in case of failures, restricted to USB devices (given that
they're inherently slower than PCIe ones). By retrying up to 10 times
(instead of 10000), we got reponsiveness in the reproducer, while seems
reasonable to believe that there's no sane USB device implementation in
the field requiring this amount of retries at every I/O read in order
to properly work. Based on that assumption, it'd be good to have it
backported to stable but maybe not since driver implementation (the 10k
number comes from day 0), perhaps up to 6.x series makes sense.
