[PATCH 4.7 23/45] brcmfmac: fix pmksa->bssid usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx>

commit 7703773ef1d85b40433902a8da20167331597e4a upstream.

The struct cfg80211_pmksa defines its bssid field as:

    const u8 *bssid;

contrary to struct brcmf_pmksa, which uses:

    u8 bssid[ETH_ALEN];

Therefore in brcmf_cfg80211_del_pmksa(), &pmksa->bssid takes the address
of this field (of type u8**), not the one of its content (which would be
u8*).  Remove the & operator to make brcmf_dbg("%pM") and memcmp()
behave as expected.

This bug have been found using a custom static checker (which checks the
usage of %p... attributes at build time).  It has been introduced in
commit 6c404f34f2bd ("brcmfmac: Cleanup pmksa cache handling code"),
which replaced pmksa->bssid by &pmksa->bssid while refactoring the code,
without modifying struct cfg80211_pmksa definition.

Replace &pmk[i].bssid with pmk[i].bssid too to make the code clearer,
this change does not affect the semantic.
