From: Rishabh Bhatnagar rishabhb@codeaurora.org
When calling request_firmware_into_buf() with the FW_OPT_NOCACHE flag it is expected that firmware is loaded into buffer from memory. But inside alloc_lookup_fw_priv every new firmware that is loaded is added to the firmware cache (fwc) list head. So if any driver requests a firmware that is already loaded the code iterates over the above mentioned list and it can end up giving a pointer to other device driver's firmware buffer. Also the existing copy may either be modified by drivers, remote processors or even freed. This causes a potential security issue with batched requests when using request_firmware_into_buf.
Fix alloc_lookup_fw_priv to not add to the fwc head list if FW_OPT_NOCACHE is set, and also don't do the lookup in the list.
Fixes: 0e742e9275 ("firmware: provide infrastructure to make fw caching optional") [mcgrof: broken since feature introduction on v4.8]

This has been tested with the self test firmware scrip and found no regressions.
