wifi: iwlegacy: Fix "field-spanning write" warning in il_enqueue_hcmd()
[ Upstream commit d4cdc46ca16a5c78b36c5b9b6ad8cac09d6130a0 ]
iwlegacy uses command buffers with a payload size of 320
bytes (default) or 4092 bytes (huge). The struct il_device_cmd type
describes the default buffers and there is no separate type describing
the huge buffers.
The il_enqueue_hcmd() function works with both default and huge
buffers, and has a memcpy() to the buffer payload. The size of
this copy may exceed 320 bytes when using a huge buffer, which
now results in a run-time warning:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 1014) of single field "&out_cmd->cmd.payload" at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/common.c:3170 (size 320)
To fix this:
- Define a new struct type for huge buffers, with a correctly sized
payload field
- When using a huge buffer in il_enqueue_hcmd(), cast the command
buffer pointer to that type when looking up the payload field
