[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 088/109] iwlwifi: dbg: don't crash if the firmware crashes in the middle of a debug dump

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

[ Upstream commit 79f25b10c9da3dbc953e47033d0494e51580ac3b ]

We can dump data from the firmware either when it crashes,
or when the firmware is alive.
Not all the data is available if the firmware is running
(like the Tx / Rx FIFOs which are available only when the
firmware is halted), so we first check that the firmware
is alive to compute the required size for the dump and then
fill the buffer with the data.

When we allocate the buffer, we test the STATUS_FW_ERROR
bit to check if the firmware is alive or not. This bit
can be changed during the course of the dump since it is
modified in the interrupt handler.

We hit a case where we allocate the buffer while the
firmware is sill working, and while we start to fill the
buffer, the firmware crashes. Then we test STATUS_FW_ERROR
again and decide to fill the buffer with data like the
FIFOs even if no room was allocated for this data in the
buffer. This means that we overflow the buffer that was
allocated leading to memory corruption.

To fix this, test the STATUS_FW_ERROR bit only once and
rely on local variables to check if we should dump fifos
or other firmware components.
