[patch 07/71] rt2x00: fix memory corruption in rf cache, add a sanity check

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Sep 04 2009 - 20:33:26 EST


2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Pavel Roskin <proski@xxxxxxx>

commit 6b26dead3ce97d016b57724b01974d5ca5c84bd5 upstream.

Change rt2x00_rf_read() and rt2x00_rf_write() to subtract 1 from the rf
register number. This is needed because the rf registers are enumerated
starting with one. The size of the rf register cache is just enough to
hold all registers, so writing to the highest register was corrupting
memory. Add a check to make sure that the rf register number is valid.
