When compiling with gcc 13.1 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, I've noticed the following: In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’, inlined from ‘mwifiex_construct_tdls_action_frame’ at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c:765:3, inlined from ‘mwifiex_send_tdls_action_frame’ at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c:856:6: ./include/linux/fortify-string.h:529:25: warning: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning] 529 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The compiler actually complains on: memmove(pos + ETH_ALEN, &mgmt->u.action.category, sizeof(mgmt->u.action.u.tdls_discover_resp)); and it happens because the fortification logic interprets this as an attempt to overread 1-byte 'u.action.category' member of 'struct ieee80211_mgmt'. To silence this warning, it's enough to pass an address of 'u.action' itself instead of an address of its first member. This also fixes an improper usage of 'sizeof()'. Since 'skb' is extended with 'sizeof(mgmt->u.action.u.tdls_discover_resp) + 1' bytes (where 1 is actually 'sizeof(mgmt->u.action.category)'), I assume that the same number of bytes should be copied.
