Hello Felix Fietkau,
The patch 6d7b97b23e11: "ath5k: fix tx status reporting issues" from
Apr 9, 2011, leads to the following
static checker warning: "drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:1683
ath5k_tx_frame_completed()
error: buffer overflow 'info->status.rates' 4 <= 4"
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c
1675 for (i = 0; i < ts->ts_final_idx; i++) {
1676 struct ieee80211_tx_rate *r =
1677 &info->status.rates[i];
1678
1679 r->count = tries[i];
1680 }
1681
1682 info->status.rates[ts->ts_final_idx].count = ts->ts_final_retry;
1683 info->status.rates[ts->ts_final_idx + 1].idx = -1;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's complaining about this.
1684
->ts_final_idx is set in ath5k_hw_proc_4word_tx_status() it comes from
the hardware but in theory it could be a number between 0-3... I'm not
sure.
regards,
dan carpenter
