Subject[PATCH 5.15 237/279] mac80211: fix radiotap header generation
Date
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

commit c033a38a81bc539d6c0db8c5387e0b14d819a0cf upstream.

In commit 8c89f7b3d3f2 ("mac80211: Use flex-array for radiotap header
bitmap") we accidentally pointed the position to the wrong place, so
we overwrite a present bitmap, and thus cause all kinds of trouble.

To see the issue, note that the previous code read:

pos = (void *)(it_present + 1);

The requirement now is that we need to calculate pos via it_optional,
to not trigger the compiler hardening checks, as:

pos = (void *)&rthdr->it_optional[...];

Rewriting the original expression, we get (obviously, since that just
adds "+ x - x" terms):

pos = (void *)(it_present + 1 + rthdr->it_optional - rthdr->it_optional)

and moving the "+ rthdr->it_optional" outside to be used as an array:

pos = (void *)&rthdr->it_optional[it_present + 1 - rthdr->it_optional];

The original is off by one, fix it.
