Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] staging: r8188eu: fix struct rt_firmware_hdr
Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2022 14:10:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220415121023.11564-2-straube.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220415121023.11564-1-straube.linux@gmail.com>
The size of struct rt_firmware_hdr is 36 bytes.
$ pahole -C rt_firmware_hdr drivers/staging/r8188eu/r8188eu.o
struct rt_firmware_hdr {
__le16 Signature; /* 0 2 */
u8 Category; /* 2 1 */
u8 Function; /* 3 1 */
__le16 Version; /* 4 2 */
u8 Subversion; /* 6 1 */
/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */
u16 Rsvd1; /* 8 2 */
u8 Month; /* 10 1 */
u8 Date; /* 11 1 */
u8 Hour; /* 12 1 */
u8 Minute; /* 13 1 */
__le16 RamCodeSize; /* 14 2 */
u8 Foundry; /* 16 1 */
u8 Rsvd2; /* 17 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
__le32 SvnIdx; /* 20 4 */
u32 Rsvd3; /* 24 4 */
u32 Rsvd4; /* 28 4 */
u32 Rsvd5; /* 32 4 */
/* size: 36, cachelines: 1, members: 17 */
/* sum members: 33, holes: 2, sum holes: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 36 bytes */
};
But the header in the firmware file is only 32 bytes long.
The hexdump of rtl8188eufw.bin shows that the field Rsvd1 should be u8
instead of __le16.

Subversion Rsvd1 Month Date Hour Minute
With the change of field Rsvd1 from __le16 to u8 the structure has the
correct size 32.
$ pahole -C rt_firmware_hdr drivers/staging/r8188eu/r8188eu.o
struct rt_firmware_hdr {
__le16 Signature; /* 0 2 */
u8 Category; /* 2 1 */
u8 Function; /* 3 1 */
__le16 Version; /* 4 2 */
u8 Subversion; /* 6 1 */
u8 Rsvd1; /* 7 1 */
u8 Month; /* 8 1 */
u8 Date; /* 9 1 */
u8 Hour; /* 10 1 */
u8 Minute; /* 11 1 */
__le16 RamCodeSize; /* 12 2 */
u8 Foundry; /* 14 1 */
u8 Rsvd2; /* 15 1 */
__le32 SvnIdx; /* 16 4 */
u32 Rsvd3; /* 20 4 */
u32 Rsvd4; /* 24 4 */
u32 Rsvd5; /* 28 4 */
/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 17 */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
The wrong size had no effect because the header size is hardcoded to
32 where it is used in the code and the fields after Subversion are
not used.
