From eb19efed836a51ee30a602abe2dd21a97c47bbcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 16:52:52 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: Wstringop-overread warning gcc-11 with the kernel address sanitizer prints a warning for this driver: In function 'ath11k_peer_assoc_h_vht', inlined from 'ath11k_peer_assoc_prepare' at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:1632:2: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:1164:13: error: 'ath11k_peer_assoc_h_vht_masked' reading 16 bytes from a region of size 4 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 1164 | if (ath11k_peer_assoc_h_vht_masked(vht_mcs_mask)) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c: In function 'ath11k_peer_assoc_prepare': drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:1164:13: note: referencing argument 1 of type 'const u16 *' {aka 'const short unsigned int *'} drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:969:1: note: in a call to function 'ath11k_peer_assoc_h_vht_masked' 969 | ath11k_peer_assoc_h_vht_masked(const u16 vht_mcs_mask[NL80211_VHT_NSS_MAX]) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ According to analysis from gcc developers, this is a glitch in the way gcc tracks the size of struct members. This should really get fixed in gcc, but it's also easy to work around this instance by changing the function prototype to no include the length of the array.
