Nicolas Boichat c0469da299 ath10k: adjust skb length in ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_packet
[ Upstream commit b713996083 ]

When the FW bundles multiple packets, pkt->act_len may be incorrect
as it refers to the first packet only (however, the FW will only
bundle packets that fit into the same pkt->alloc_len).

Before this patch, the skb length would be set (incorrectly) to
pkt->act_len in ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_packet, and then later manually
adjusted in ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_process_packet.

The first problem is that ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_process_packet does not
use proper skb_put commands to adjust the length (it directly changes
skb->len), so we end up with a mismatch between skb->head + skb->tail
and skb->data + skb->len. This is quite serious, and causes corruptions
in the TCP stack, as the stack tries to coalesce packets, and relies
on skb->tail being correct (that is, skb_tail_pointer must point to
the first byte_after_ the data).

Instead of re-adjusting the size in ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_process_packet,
this moves the code to ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_packet, and also add a
bounds check, as skb_put would crash the kernel if not enough space is
available.

Tested with QCA6174 SDIO with firmware
WLAN.RMH.4.4.1-00007-QCARMSWP-1.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
