Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: fix recent bandwidth conversion bug

The commit "cfg80211: make RATE_INFO_BW_20 the default" changed
the index of RATE_INFO_BW_20, but the updates to ath10k missed
the special bandwidth calculation case in
ath10k_update_per_peer_tx_stats().

The kbuild-bot/CI can catch this too.

For example, it will look like this:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k//htt_rx.c:710:52: warning: invalid access past the end of 'ath10k_bw_to_mac80211' (4 4)

BTW:
Have you noticed:

<https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/319-ath10k-fix-recent-bandwidth-conversion-bug.patch>

Is this really your signed-off-by or not?

In any case, you - as the maintainer - can modify the patch as
you see fit. So, please do so.

Until someone changes that part of the code (and the firmware
interface). IMHO a switch is safer as there we don't have any risk of

It would be good if you could adhere to our mailing list customs and

Ah, about that:

the bw variable in ath10k_htt_rx_h_rates() is extracted from info2
in the following way [0]:
| bw = info2 & 3;

the txrate.bw variable in ath10k_update_per_peer_tx_stats() is set by [1]:
| txrate.bw = ATH10K_HW_BW(peer_stats->flags);

ATH10K_HW_BW is a macro defined as [2]:
| #define ATH10K_HW_BW(flags) (((flags) >> 3) & 0x3)

In both cases the bandwidth values already are limited to 0-3 by
the "and 3" operation.

Sure, but after reading about all these security vulnerabilities I have
become even more cautious and try to avoid all tricky stuff.

Hi Kalle,

I'm trying to figure out the fate of that LEDE's patch. I don't think
you ever sent V2.

Is that fix still needed? Are you planning to send V2?
