[ Upstream commit dcce94b80a954a8968ff29fafcfb066d6197fa9a ]
When compiling with gcc 13.1 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y,
I've noticed the following:
In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
inlined from ‘mwifiex_construct_tdls_action_frame’ at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c:765:3,
inlined from ‘mwifiex_send_tdls_action_frame’ at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c:856:6:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:529:25: warning: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
529 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The compiler actually complains on:
memmove(pos + ETH_ALEN, &mgmt->u.action.category,
sizeof(mgmt->u.action.u.tdls_discover_resp));
and it happens because the fortification logic interprets this
as an attempt to overread 1-byte 'u.action.category' member of
'struct ieee80211_mgmt'. To silence this warning, it's enough
to pass an address of 'u.action' itself instead of an address
of its first member.
This also fixes an improper usage of 'sizeof()'. Since 'skb' is
extended with 'sizeof(mgmt->u.action.u.tdls_discover_resp) + 1'
bytes (where 1 is actually 'sizeof(mgmt->u.action.category)'),
I assume that the same number of bytes should be copied.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
