Subject: [EXT] [PATCH, RFC] ath10k: Fix skb->len (properly) in
ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_packet

(not a formal patch, take this as a bug report for now, I can clean
up depending on the feedback I get here)

There's at least 3 issues here, and the patch fixes 2/3 only, I'm not sure
how/if 1 should be handled.
 1. ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_alloc allocating skb of a incorrect size (too
    small)
 2. ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_packet calling skb_put with that incorrect size.
 3. ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_process_packet attempts to fixup the size, but
    does not use proper skb_put commands to do so, so we end up with
    a mismatch between skb->head + skb->tail and skb->data + skb->len.

Let's start with 3, this is quite serious as this 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): one must never manipulate skb->len
directly.

Instead, we need to use skb_put to allocate more space (which updates
skb->len and skb->tail). But it seems odd to do that in
ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_process_packet, so I move the code to
ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_packet (point 2 above).

However, there is still something strange (point 1 above), why is
ath10k_sdio_mbox_rx_alloc allocating packets of the incorrect
(too small?) size? What happens if the packet is bigger than alloc_len?
Does this lead to corruption/lost data?

One simple way to test this is this scriplet, that sends a lot of
small packets over SSH:
(for i in `seq 1 300`; do echo $i; sleep 0.1; done) | ssh $IP cat

In my testing it rarely ever reach 300 without failure.

Firmware will do bundle for rx packet, and the aligned length by block size(256) of each packet's len is same 
in a bundle.

Eg. 
packet 1 len: 300, aligned length:512
packet 2 len: 400, aligned length:512
packet 3 len: 200, aligned length:256
packet 4 len: 100, aligned length:256
packet 5 len: 700, aligned length:768
packet 6 len: 600, aligned length:768

then packet 1,2 will in bundle 1, packet 3,4 in a bundle 2, packet 5,6 in a bundle 3.

For bundle 1, packet 1,2 will both allocate with len 512, and act_len is 300 first,
then packet 2's len will be overwrite to 400.

For bundle 2, packet 3,4 will both allocate with len 256, and act_len is 200 first,
then packet 4's len will be overwrite to 100.

For bundle 3, packet 5,6 will both allocate with len 768, and act_len is 700 first,
then packet 6's len will be overwrite to 600.
