It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.
Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void *
and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only
where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the
following spatch:
@@
expression SKB, LEN;
typedef u8;
identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
@@
- *(fn(SKB, LEN))
+ *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)
@@
expression E, SKB, LEN;
identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put };
type T;
@@
- E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
+ E = fn(SKB, LEN)
which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three
users overall.
A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in
drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many
instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also
had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced.

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy()
some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for
this.
An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many
of the places using it:
@@
identifier p, p2;
expression len, skb, data;
type t, t2;
@@
(
-p = skb_put(skb, len);
+p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
|
-p = (t)skb_put(skb, len);
+p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len);
)
(
p2 = (t2)p;
-memcpy(p2, data, len);
|
-memcpy(p, data, len);
)
@@
type t, t2;
identifier p, p2;
expression skb, data;
@@
t *p;
...
(
-p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
+p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));

-p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
+p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t));
)
(
p2 = (t2)p;
-memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p));

-memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p));
)

expression skb, len, data;

(again, manually post-processed to retain some comments)

We already ensure 64 bytes alignment and add padding if required
during skb_aggr allocation.
Alignment and padding in mwifiex_11n_form_amsdu_txpd() is redundant.
We may end up accessing more data than allocated size with this.
This patch fixes following issue by removing redundant padding.

Sometimes host prepares and downloads a large amsdu packet to firmware
which leads to a memory corruption in firmware.
The reason is __dev_alloc_skb() may allocate larger buffer than required
size. This patch solves the problem by checking "adapter->tx_buf_size"
instead of relying on skb_tailroom().

The GFP_DMA flag is obviously misunderstood in the mwifiex driver. It's
meant for legacy ISA DMA memory mappings only -- the lower 16MB on x86.
That doesn't apply to PCIe or SDIO devices, I guess.
Remove the GFP_DMA flag to reduce the need to place the socket buffer
allocation into the low mem DMA area, which might already be in use by
other drivers.
This misuse was flagged by the PaX USERCOPY feature by chance, as it
detected the user copy operation from a DMA buffer in the recvfrom()
syscall path.
