Subject: [PATCH v3] wifi: mwifiex: replace one-element arrays with flexible array members
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 03:17:28 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716001728.57799-1-gvalkov@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202607150932.F2A0836@keescook>

Replace deprecated one-element arrays with flexible array members.
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE reports the following warning when
one-element arrays are used as variable-length buffers:

sta_cmd.c:1033 mwifiex_sta_prepare_cmd
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 84) of single field
"domain->triplet" at .../marvell/mwifiex/sta_cmd.c:1033 (size 3)

Convert affected structs to use flexible array members.
- Preserve existing wire layouts.
- Use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for structs inside affected unions.

Tested-on: WRT3200ACM, OpenWrt
Signed-off-by: Georgi Valkov <gvalkov@gmail.com>
---
Thank you for your help!
Please backport to 6.18 and 6.12, which are used by OpenWrt.

v3:
- resend, please ignore v2 (corrupted by mail client)

v2:
- restore the unions and use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY
  for the flexible arrays inside
- restore use of sizeof(*member) instead of sizeof(struct)
