[PATCH 4.4 14/60] mwifiex: remove redundant dma padding in AMSDU

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 11 2017 - 10:40:59 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Xinming Hu <huxm@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5f0a221f59ad6b72202ef9c6e232086de8c336f2 upstream.

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.
