The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

In a recent change to the SPI subsystem [1], a new `delay` struct was added
to replace the `delay_usecs`. This change replaces the current
`delay_usecs` with `delay` for this driver.
The `spi_transfer_delay_exec()` function [in the SPI framework] makes sure
that both `delay_usecs` & `delay` are used (in this order to preserve
backwards compatibility).

hard_header_len provides limitations for things like AF_PACKET, such
that we don't allow transmitting packets smaller than this.
needed_headroom provides a suggested minimum headroom for SKBs, so that
we can trivally add our headers to the front.
The latter is the correct field to use in this case, while the former
mostly just prevents sending small AF_PACKET frames.
In any case, mwifiex already does its own bounce buffering [1] if we
don't have enough headroom, so hints (not hard limits) are all that are
needed.
This is the essentially the same bug (and fix) that brcmfmac had, fixed
in commit cb39288fd6 ("brcmfmac: use ndev->needed_headroom to reserve
additional header space").

Commit e5e884b426 ("libertas: Fix two buffer overflows at parsing bss
descriptor") introduced a bounds check on the number of supplied rates to
lbs_ibss_join_existing() and made it to return on overflow.
However, the aforementioned commit doesn't set the return value accordingly
and thus, lbs_ibss_join_existing() would return with zero even though it
failed.
Make lbs_ibss_join_existing return -EINVAL in case the bounds check on the
number of supplied rates fails.

Before commit 1e58252e33 ("mwifiex: Fix heap overflow in
mmwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame()"),
mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame() already had too many magic numbers.
But this commit just added a ton more, in the name of checking for
buffer overflows. That seems like a really bad idea.
Let's make these magic numbers a little less magic, by
(a) factoring out 'pos[1]' as 'ie_len'
(b) using 'sizeof' on the appropriate source or destination fields where
possible, instead of bare numbers
(c) dropping redundant checks, per below.
Regarding redundant checks: the beginning of the loop has this:
if (pos + 2 + pos[1] > end)
break;
but then individual 'case's include stuff like this:
if (pos > end - 3)
return;
if (pos[1] != 1)
return;
Note that the second 'return' (validating the length, pos[1]) combined
with the above condition (ensuring 'pos + 2 + length' doesn't exceed
'end'), makes the first 'return' (whose 'if' can be reworded as 'pos >
end - pos[1] - 2') redundant. Rather than unwind the magic numbers
there, just drop those conditions.

attacker can build a fake AP with the same ssid as real AP, and
send malicous beacon packet with long WLAN_EID_COUNTRY elemen

The SDIO HW reset procedure in mwifiex_sdio_card_reset_work() is broken,
when the SDIO card is shared with another SDIO func driver. This is the
case when the Bluetooth btmrvl driver is being used in combination with
mwifiex. More precisely, when mwifiex_sdio_card_reset_work() runs to resets
the SDIO card, the btmrvl driver doesn't get notified about it. Beyond that
point, the btmrvl driver will fail to communicate with the SDIO card.
This is a generic problem for SDIO func drivers sharing an SDIO card, which
are about to be addressed in subsequent changes to the mmc core and the
mmc_hw_reset() interface. In principle, these changes means the
mmc_hw_reset() interface starts to return 1 if the are multiple drivers for
the SDIO card, as to indicate to the caller that the reset needed to be
scheduled asynchronously through a hotplug mechanism of the SDIO card.
Let's prepare the mwifiex driver to support the upcoming new behaviour of
mmc_hw_reset(), which means extending the mwifiex_sdio_card_reset_work() to
support the asynchronous SDIO HW reset path. This also means, we need to
allow the ->remove() callback to run, without waiting for the FW to be
loaded. Additionally, during system suspend, mwifiex_sdio_suspend() may be
called when a reset has been scheduled, but waiting to be executed. In this
scenario let's simply return -EBUSY to abort the suspend process, as to
allow the reset to be completed first.

There really is no need to make drivers call the
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() function and then
schedule the worker if all we want is to set a bit.
Add a new return value (that was previously considered
invalid) to indicate that the driver is immediately
ready for the session, and make drivers use it. The
only drivers that remain different are the Intel ones
as they need to negotiate more with the firmware.

This reverts commit 437322ea2a.
This above-mentioned "fix" does not actually do anything to prevent a
race condition. It simply papers over it so that the issue doesn't
appear.
If this is a real problem, it should be explained better than the above
commit does, and an alternative, non-racy solution should be found.
For further reason to revert this: there's no reason we can't try
resetting the card when it's *actually* stuck in host-sleep mode. So
instead, this is unnecessarily creating scenarios where we can't recover
Wifi (and in fact, I'm fielding reports of Chromebooks that can't
recover after the aforementioned commit).
Note that this was proposed in 2017 and Ack'ed then, but due to my
marking as RFC, it never went anywhere:

main_proc_lock and int_lock (in mwifiex_adapter) are the only spinlocks
used in hardirq contexts. The rest are only in task or softirq contexts.
Convert every other lock from *_irq{save,restore}() variants to _bh()
variants.
This is a mechanical transformation of all spinlock usage in mwifiex
using the following:
Step 1:
I ran this nasty sed script:
sed -i -E '/spin_lock_irqsave|spin_unlock_irqrestore/ {
/main_proc_lock|int_lock/! {
s:(spin_(un|)lock)_irq(save|restore):\1_bh: ;
# Join broken lines.
:a /;$/! {
N;
s/\s*\n\s*//;
ba
}
/,.*\);$/ s:,.*\):\):
}
}' drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/*
Step 2:
Manually delete the flags / ra_list_flags args from:
mwifiex_send_single_packet()
mwifiex_11n_aggregate_pkt()
mwifiex_send_processed_packet()
which are now unused.
Step 3:
Apply this semantic patch (coccinelle) to remove the unused 'flags'
variables:
// <smpl>
@@
type T;
identifier i;
@@
(
extern T i;
|
- T i;
... when != i
)
// </smpl>
(Usage is something like this:
make coccicheck COCCI=./patch.cocci MODE=patch M=drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/
although this skips *.h files for some reasons, so I had to massage
stuff.)
Testing: I've played with a variety of stress tests, including download
stress tests on the same APs which caught regressions with commit
5188d5453b ("mwifiex: restructure rx_reorder_tbl_lock usage"). I've
primarily tested on Marvell 8997 / PCIe, although I've given 8897 / SDIO

mwifiex_11n_scan_and_dispatch() and
mwifiex_11n_dispatch_pkt_until_start_win() share similar patterns, where
they perform a few different actions on the same table, using the same
lock, but non-atomically. There have been other attempts to clean up
this sort of behavior, but they have had problems (incomplete;
introducing new deadlocks).
We can improve these functions' atomicity by queueing up our RX packets
in a list, to dispatch at the end of the function. This avoids problems
of another operation modifying the table in between our dispatch and
rotation operations.
This was inspired by investigations around this:
http://lkml.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20181130175957.167031-1-briannorris@chromium.org
Subject: [4.20 PATCH] Revert "mwifiex: restructure rx_reorder_tbl_lock usage"
While the original (now-reverted) patch had good intentions in
restructuring some of the locking patterns in this driver, it missed an
important detail: we cannot defer to softirq contexts while already in
an atomic context. We can help avoid this sort of problem by separating
the two steps of:
(1) iterating / clearing the mwifiex reordering table
(2) dispatching received packets to upper layers
This makes it much harder to make lock recursion mistakes, as these
two steps no longer need to hold the same locks.
Testing: I've played with a variety of stress tests, including download
stress tests on the same APs which caught regressions with commit
5188d5453b ("mwifiex: restructure rx_reorder_tbl_lock usage"). I've

====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for 5.3
First set of patches for 5.3, but not that many patches this time.
This pull request fails to compile with the tip tree due to
ktime_get_boot_ns() API changes there. It should be easy for Linus to
fix it in p54 driver once he pulls this, an example resolution here:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190625160432.533aa140@canb.auug.org.au
Major changes:
airo
* switch to use skcipher interface
p54
* support boottime in scan results
rtw88
* add fast xmit support
* add random mac address on scan support
rt2x00
* add software watchdog to detect hangs, it's disabled by default
