In a TLV encoding scheme, the Length part represents the length after
the header containing the values for type and length. In this case,
`tlv_len` should be:
tlv_len == (sizeof(*tlv_rxba) - 1) - sizeof(tlv_rxba->header) + tlv_bitmap_len
Notice that the `- 1` accounts for the one-element array `bitmap`, which
1-byte size is already included in `sizeof(*tlv_rxba)`.
So, if the above is correct, there is a double-counting of some members
in `struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync`, when `tlv_buf_left` and `tmp`
are calculated:
968 tlv_buf_left -= (sizeof(*tlv_rxba) + tlv_len);
969 tmp = (u8 *)tlv_rxba + tlv_len + sizeof(*tlv_rxba);
in specific, members:
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/fw.h:777
777 u8 mac[ETH_ALEN];
778 u8 tid;
779 u8 reserved;
780 __le16 seq_num;
781 __le16 bitmap_len;
This is clearly wrong, and affects the subsequent decoding of data in
`event_buf` through `tlv_rxba`:
970 tlv_rxba = (struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync *)tmp;
Fix this by using `sizeof(tlv_rxba->header)` instead of `sizeof(*tlv_rxba)`
in the calculation of `tlv_buf_left` and `tmp`.
This results in the following binary differences before/after changes:

The above reflects the desired change: avoid counting 13 too many bytes;
which is the total size of the double-counted members in
`struct mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync`:
$ pahole -C mwifiex_ie_types_rxba_sync drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/11n_rxreorder.o

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 Restructured Text 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.
