[PATCH] staging: r8188eu: prevent array underflow in rtw_hal_update_ra_mask()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-30 12:26:50
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: staging subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

The problem is that "mac_id" is a u32 so this check for underflow does
not work when "mac_id" is zero.  In that situation, "mac_id - 1" is
UINT_MAX instead of -1 so the condition is true.  It leads to an
array underflow on the next line.

Fixes: 8cd574e6af54 ("staging: r8188eu: introduce new hal dir for RTL8188eu driver")
