In the rtw_pci_init_rx_ring function the "if (len > TRX_BD_IDX_MASK)"
statement guarantees that len is less than or equal to GENMASK(11, 0) or
in other words that len is less than or equal to 4095. However the
rx_ring->buf has a size of RTK_MAX_RX_DESC_NUM (defined as 512). This
way it is possible an out-of-bounds write in the for statement due to
the i variable can exceed the rx_ring->buff size.
Fix it using the ARRAY_SIZE macro.

I think "if (len > TRX_BD_IDX_MASK)" you mentioned is
if (len > TRX_BD_IDX_MASK) {
rtw_err(rtwdev, "len %d exceeds maximum RX entries\n", len);
return -EINVAL;
}
This statement is used to ensure the length doesn't exceed hardware capability.
To prevent the 'len' argument from exceeding the array size of rx_ring->buff, I
suggest to add another checking statement, like
if (len > ARRAY_SIZE(rx_ring->buf)) {
rtw_err(rtwdev, "len %d exceeds maximum RX ring buffer\n", len);
return -EINVAL;
}
But, I wonder if this a false alarm because 'len' is equal to ARRAY_SIZE(rx_ring->buf)
for now.

I agree.

I think it is reasonable to protect any potencial overflow (for example, if
this function is used in the future with a parameter greater than 512). It
is better to be defensive in this case :)

I will send a v2 for review.
