Replace one-element array with flexible-array member in struct
wmi_channel_list_reply.
It's also worth noting that due to the flexible array transformation,
the size of struct wmi_channel_list_reply changed, see below.
Before flex-array transformation:
struct wmi_channel_list_reply {
u8 reserved; /* 0 1 */
u8 num_ch; /* 1 1 */
__le16 ch_list[1]; /* 2 2 */
/* size: 4, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 4 bytes */
};
After flex-array transformation:
struct wmi_channel_list_reply {
u8 reserved; /* 0 1 */
u8 num_ch; /* 1 1 */
__le16 ch_list[]; /* 2 0 */
/* size: 2, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 2 bytes */
};
So, the following change preserves the logic that if _len_ is at least
4 bytes in size, this is the existence of at least one channel in
ch_list[] is being considered, then the execution jumps to call
ath6kl_wakeup_event(wmi->parent_dev);, otherwise _len_ is 2 bytes or
less and the code returns -EINVAL:
- if (len < sizeof(struct wmi_channel_list_reply))
+ if (len <= sizeof(struct wmi_channel_list_reply))
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed,
manually.

Hi!
It'd be great if someone can confirm or comment on the following
changes described in the changelog text:
- if (len < sizeof(struct wmi_channel_list_reply))
+ if (len <= sizeof(struct wmi_channel_list_reply))
My opinion is this can remain unchanged since being unchanged would
correctly handle a channel list with no channels whereas the original
code required that at least one channel be present.
The test is really there just to make sure the entirety of the "fixed"
portion of the message is present.
Ultimately it doesn't matter since no actual processing of the channel
list takes place.
If actual processing took place, then it would make sense to have an
additional test to verify the len is large enough to handle num_ch entries.
Thanks
