wireless fixes for v6.1
First set of fixes for v6.1. Quite a lot of fixes in stack but also
for mt76.
cfg80211/mac80211
* fix locking error in mac80211's hw addr change
* fix TX queue stop for internal TXQs
* handling of very small (e.g. STP TCN) packets
* two memcpy() hardening fixes
* fix probe request 6 GHz capability warning
* fix various connection prints
* fix decapsulation offload for AP VLAN
mt76
* fix rate reporting, LLC packets and receive checksum offload on specific chipsets
iwlwifi
* fix crash due to list corruption
ath11k
* fix a compiler warning with GCC 11 and KASAN
wifi: ath11k: mac: fix reading 16 bytes from a region of size 0 warning
Linaro reported stringop-overread warnings in ath11k (this is one of many):
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:2238:29: error: 'ath11k_peer_assoc_h_he_limit' reading 16 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
My further investigation showed that these warnings happen on GCC 11.3 but not
with GCC 12.2, and with only the kernel config Linaro provided:
https://builds.tuxbuild.com/2F4W7nZHNx3T88RB0gaCZ9hBX6c/config
I saw the same warnings both with arm64 and x86_64 builds and KASAN seems to be
the reason triggering these warnings with GCC 11. Nobody else has reported
this so this seems to be quite rare corner case. I don't know what specific
commit started emitting this warning so I can't provide a Fixes tag. The
function hasn't been touched for a year.
I decided to workaround this by converting the pointer to a new array in stack,
and then copying the data to the new array. It's only 16 bytes anyway and this
is executed during association, so not in a hotpath.
