struct set_multicast uses (implicitly) sizeof(bool) to determine how many bytes to copy in
Handle_SetMulticastFilter. Since that is implementation defined, it triggered sparse to
rightfully complain about shifting a bigger value than supported.
Since it was used as if assuming it was 32 bits, I replaced the bool member by a u32.
Also, time_out and buf_size members of ba_session_info are u16, but while copying their
bytes into ptr in Handle_AddBASession shift 16 bits for the second byte instead of 8 bits.
This patch fixes those two issues.

How did you test this is correct?

Doesn't apply to my tree :(

thanks,

greg k-h


Because I lack the hardware, I only tested it built with allmodconfig and tried to be very careful about my reasoning. I know I *should* be testing it, and am sorry about it. Should I try and update the patch? Maybe it conflicts with a different one. I made the changes on top of staging-testing. In retrospect, I believe the issues should be handled in different patches anyway, so I would like to do a second version anyway.

Regards,
Mario.
