Hi Arik,

Smatch complains about c47e8229fa56 "wl12xx: support up to 8 stations
in AP-mode"

drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/main.c +832 wl12xx_irq_update_links_status(22)
	error: buffer overflow 'status->tx_lnk_free_pkts' 8 <= 10

   828          for (hlid = WL1271_AP_STA_HLID_START; hlid < AP_MAX_LINKS; hlid++) {
                                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^
We increased this to 11.

   829                  if (!wl1271_is_active_sta(wl, hlid))
   830                          continue;
   831  
   832                  cnt = status->tx_lnk_free_pkts[hlid] -
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But the ->tx_lnk_free_pkts[] array still only has 8 elements so we're
reading past the end of the array.

   833                        wl->links[hlid].prev_freed_pkts;
   834  
   835                  wl->links[hlid].prev_freed_pkts =
   836                          status->tx_lnk_free_pkts[hlid];
   837                  wl->links[hlid].allocated_pkts -= cnt;
   838  
   839                  wl12xx_irq_ps_regulate_link(wl, hlid,
   840                                              wl->links[hlid].allocated_pkts);
   841          }

regards,
dan carpenter
