[ Upstream commit 6ba8b3b6bd772f575f7736c8fd893c6981fcce16 ] The management packets, send to firmware via WMI, are mapped using the direction DMA_TO_DEVICE. Currently in case of wmi cleanup, these buffers are being unmapped using an incorrect DMA direction. This can cause unwanted behavior when the host driver is handling a restart of the wlan firmware. We might see a trace like below [<ffffff8008098b18>] __dma_inv_area+0x28/0x58 [<ffffff8001176734>] ath10k_wmi_mgmt_tx_clean_up_pending+0x60/0xb0 [ath10k_core] [<ffffff80088c7c50>] idr_for_each+0x78/0xe4 [<ffffff80011766a4>] ath10k_wmi_detach+0x4c/0x7c [ath10k_core] [<ffffff8001163d7c>] ath10k_core_stop+0x58/0x68 [ath10k_core] [<ffffff800114fb74>] ath10k_halt+0xec/0x13c [ath10k_core] [<ffffff8001165110>] ath10k_core_restart+0x11c/0x1a8 [ath10k_core] [<ffffff80080c36bc>] process_one_work+0x16c/0x31c Fix the incorrect DMA direction during the wmi management tx buffer cleanup.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
