iwlegacy uses command buffers with a payload size of 320
bytes (default) or 4092 bytes (huge). The struct il_device_cmd type
describes the default buffers and there is no separate type describing
the huge buffers.
The il_enqueue_hcmd() function works with both default and huge
buffers, and has a memcpy() to the buffer payload. The size of
this copy may exceed 320 bytes when using a huge buffer, which
now results in a run-time warning:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 1014) of single field "&out_cmd->cmd.payload" at drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/common.c:3170 (size 320)
To fix this:
- Define a new struct type for huge buffers, with a correctly sized
payload field
- When using a huge buffer in il_enqueue_hcmd(), cast the command
buffer pointer to that type when looking up the payload field

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
