[ Upstream commit 67927a1b255d883881be9467508e0af9a5e0be9d ]

Apart from the standard "configurations", "interfaces" and "alternate
interface settings" in USB, iOS devices also have a notion of
"modes". In different modes, the device exposes a different set of
available configurations.

Depending on the iOS version, and depending on the current mode, the
length and contents of the carrier state control message differs:

* 1 byte (seen on iOS 4.2.1, 8.4):
    * 03: carrier off (mode 0)
    * 04: carrier on (mode 0)
* 3 bytes (seen on iOS 10.3.4, 15.7.6):
    * 03 03 03: carrier off (mode 0)
    * 04 04 03: carrier on (mode 0)
* 4 bytes (seen on iOS 16.5, 17.6):
    * 03 03 03 00: carrier off (mode 0)
    * 04 03 03 00: carrier off (mode 1)
    * 06 03 03 00: carrier off (mode 4)
    * 04 04 03 04: carrier on (mode 0 and 1)
    * 06 04 03 04: carrier on (mode 4)

Before this change, the driver always used the first byte of the
response to determine carrier state.

From this larger sample, the first byte seems to indicate the number of
available USB configurations in the current mode (with the exception of
the default mode 0), and in some cases (namely mode 1 and 4) does not
correlate with the carrier state.

Previous logic erroneously counted `04 03 03 00` as "carrier on" and
`06 04 03 04` as "carrier off" on iOS versions that support mode 1 and
mode 4 respectively.

Only modes 0, 1 and 4 expose the USB Ethernet interfaces necessary for
the ipheth driver.

Check the second byte of the control message where possible, and fall
back to checking the first byte on older iOS versions.

[ Upstream commit e5876b088ba03a62124266fa20d00e65533c7269 ]

ipheth_sndbulk_callback() can submit carrier_work
as a part of its error handling. That means that
the driver must make sure that the work is cancelled
after it has made sure that no more URB can terminate
with an error condition.

Hence the order of actions in ipheth_close() needs
to be inverted.

strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy().

commit 63e4b45c82ed1bde979da7052229a4229ce9cabf upstream.

When rx_buf is allocated we need to account for IPHETH_IP_ALIGN,
which reduces the usable size by 2 bytes. Otherwise we have 1512
bytes usable instead of 1514, and if we receive more than 1512
bytes, ipheth_rcvbulk_callback is called with status -EOVERFLOW,
after which the driver malfunctiones and all communication stops.

Resolves ipheth 2-1:4.2: ipheth_rcvbulk_callback: urb status: -75

[ Upstream commit f33d9e2b48a34e1558b67a473a1fc1d6e793f93c ]

Starting with iOS 14 released in September 2020, connectivity using the
personal hotspot USB tethering function of iOS devices is broken.

Communication between the host and the device (for example ICMP traffic
or DNS resolution using the DNS service running in the device itself)
works fine, but communication to endpoints further away doesn't work.

Investigation on the matter shows that no UDP and ICMP traffic from the
tethered host is reaching the Internet at all. For TCP traffic there are
exchanges between tethered host and server but packets are modified in
transit leading to impossible communication.

After some trials Matti Vuorela discovered that reducing the URB buffer
size by two bytes restored the previous behavior. While a better
solution might exist to fix the issue, since the protocol is not
publicly documented and considering the small size of the fix, let's do
that.

Fix a racing condition in ipheth.c that can lead to slow performance.

Bug: In ipheth_tx(), netif_wake_queue() may be called on the callback
ipheth_sndbulk_callback(), _before_ netif_stop_queue() is called.
When this happens, the queue is stopped longer than it needs to be,
thus reducing network performance.

Fix: Move netif_stop_queue() in front of usb_submit_urb(). Now the order
is always correct. In case, usb_submit_urb() fails, the queue is woken up
again as callback will not fire.

Testing: This racing condition is usually not noticeable, as it has to
occur very frequently to slowdown the network. The callback from the USB
is usually triggered slow enough, so the situation does not appear.
However, on a Ubuntu Linux on VMWare Workstation, running on Windows 10,
the we loose the race quite often and the following speedup can be noticed:

ipheth_carrier_set() is called from two locations. In
ipheth_carrier_check_work(), its parameter 'dev' is set with
container_of(work, ...) and can not be NULL. In ipheth_open(),
dev is extracted from netdev_priv(net) and dereferenced before
the call to ipheth_carrier_set(). The NULL pointer check of dev
in ipheth_carrier_set() is therefore unnecessary and can be removed.

All Apple products use the same protocol for tethering over USB.
To simplify the code and make it future proof, use
USB_VENDOR_AND_INTERFACE_INFO() instead of
USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO() to automatically detect and support
all existing and future Apple products using the same interface.

The bug is not easily reproducable, as it may occur very infrequently
(we had machines with 20minutes heavy downloading before it occurred)
However, on a virual machine (VMWare on Windows 10 host) it occurred
pretty frequently (1-2 seconds after a speedtest was started)

dev-&gt;tx_skb mab be freed via dev_kfree_skb_irq on a callback
before it is set.

This causes the following problems:
- double free of the skb or potential memory leak
- in dmesg: 'recvmsg bug' and 'recvmsg bug 2' and eventually
  general protection fault

Example dmesg output:

The proposed patch eliminates a potential racing condition.
Before, usb_submit_urb was called and _after_ that, the skb was attached
(dev-&gt;tx_skb). So, on a callback it was possible, however unlikely that the
skb was freed before it was set. That way (because dev-&gt;tx_skb was not set
to NULL after it was freed), it could happen that a skb from a earlier
transmission was freed a second time (and the skb we should have freed did
not get freed at all)

Now we free the skb directly in ipheth_tx(). It is not passed to the
callback anymore, eliminating the posibility of a double free of the same
skb. Depending on the retval of usb_submit_urb() we use dev_kfree_skb_any()
respectively dev_consume_skb_any() to free the skb.

_dev_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there
is a potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _dev_ has been null
checked.
