[PATCH] wifi: wilc1000: use vmm_table as array in wilc struct

From: Alexis Lothoré
Date: Fri Oct 13 2023 - 04:27:04 EST


From: Ajay Singh <ajay.kathat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Enabling KASAN and running some iperf tests raises some memory issues with
vmm_table:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in wilc_wlan_handle_txq+0x6ac/0xdb4
Write of size 4 at addr c3a61540 by task wlan0-tx/95

KASAN detects that we are writing data beyond range allocated to vmm_table.
There is indeed a mismatch between the size passed to allocator in
wilc_wlan_init, and the range of possible indexes used later: allocation
size is missing a multiplication by sizeof(u32)

While at it, instead of simply multiplying the allocation size, do not keep
dedicated dynamic allocation for vmm_table: define it as an array with the
relevant size in wilc struct, which is already dynamically allocated
