[PATCH v4 REPOST 0/8] clean up wlan_bssdef.h

[PATCH v4 REPOST 0/8] clean up wlan_bssdef.h

[Joshua Clayton]

I posted v4 of this patch set a week ago and there have been no 
comments. I hope this is a good sign that the patches are good.
However, I have noticed that I managed to use the same message id
for the coverletter of v4 as for v3, which might have caused people 
to hold off reviewing, perhaps thinking that earlier comments
had not been addressed.

Better safe than sorry, so I am reposting v4
My apologies for the noise on the mailing list.

The main goal of this series is to get rid of a needless typedef
in the rtl8712 wlan driver.

In the course of fixing that, I found a bug that can (at least in theory)
lead to a overrun during a memcpy, as well as an identical struct with
a different name, which use the typedef.
Finally after cleaning up the typedef, change the name of the primary
variable that used the typedef from "SupportedRates" to "rates", to
conform to kernel coding style.

Changes since V1:
Do not make other logic changes while Changing the name of SupportedRates
New patch 3/6 fixes a buggy comment that referred to the typedef

Changes since V2:
broke former patch 4 into 3 parts, as it was too big for git-send-email

Changes since V3:
In patch 8/8 Change the line wrapping of lines that fit within 80
characters, removing superfluous "== true" expressions that would 
otherwise keep the lines overlong.

[PATCH v4 REPOST 1/8] staging: rtl8712: fix buggy size calculation

[Joshua Clayton]

r8712_get_ndis_wlan_bssid_ex_sz has a "6 * sizeof(unsigned long)"
where the underlying struct has a 6 * unsigned char.
Simplify the calculation by just subtracting the variable part from
the size of the struct.

This also gets rid of a use of typedef NDIS_802_11_RATES_EX

[PATCH v4 REPOST 3/8] staging: rtl8712: fix comment

[Joshua Clayton]

The old comment refers to a typedef name which is being removed,
and to a style of calculation which is no longer being used.
It falsely states that IELength is variable length, instead of IEs.

Change comment to simply state that the IEs field is a buffer of
variable size and that IELength refers to the current size.

[PATCH v4 REPOST 5/8] staging: rtl8712: remove duplicate struct

[Joshua Clayton]

struct ndis_wlan_bssid_ex is a doppelganger of struct wlan_bssid_ex,
and is used about a third as often.

Switch all instances to wlan_bssid_ex, and remove ndis_wlan_bssid_ex

This also gets rid of a use of typedef NDIS_802_11_RATES_EX

[PATCH v4 REPOST 6/8] staging: rtl8712: rename function

[Joshua Clayton]

Rename r8712_get_ndis_wlan_bssid_ex_sz() to r8712_get_wlan_bssid_ex_sz(),
which corresponds to the struct whose size it measures.

[PATCH v4 REPOST 7/8] staging: rtl8712: remove typedefs

[Joshua Clayton]

Coding style fix.
Get rid of typedefs NDIS_802_11_RATES and NDIS_802_11_RATES_EX
Undo any casting that was done as a result of the typedef.

[PATCH v4 REPOST 8/8] staging: rtl8712: change SupportedRates to rates

[Joshua Clayton]

Change the value to a name that conforms to Linux coding style.

"rates" is equally expressive in this context, and I have left alone
a comment and function name that describe the rates as supported rates.

No.  No one reads cover letters.  If there are no comments it means the
peanut gallery is fine with it, and Greg hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Please don't repost patches unless asked.

You would think we would scramble around like panicked rabbits to fix
the potential buffer overrun but actually we just treat it like a normal
patch so it will take a bit to get merged.

Greg will email you when he gets to the patches, if they are merged or
if there is a problem.
