Re: [PATCH] rtl8192ce: avoid accessing the data mapped to streaming DMA

Jia-Ju Bai [off-list ref] wrote:

In rtl92ce_tx_fill_cmddesc(), skb->data is mapped to streaming DMA on
line 530:
  dma_addr_t mapping = dma_map_single(..., skb->data, ...);

On line 533, skb->data is assigned to hdr after cast:
  struct ieee80211_hdr *hdr = (struct ieee80211_hdr *)(skb->data);

Then hdr->frame_control is accessed on line 534:
  __le16 fc = hdr->frame_control;

This DMA access may cause data inconsistency between CPU and hardwre.

To fix this bug, hdr->frame_control is accessed before the DMA mapping.

Like Ping said, use "rtlwifi:" prefix and have all rtlwifi patches in
the same patchset.
