wireless: wext-spy: Fix out-of-bounds warning

Fix the following out-of-bounds warning:

net/wireless/wext-spy.c:178:2: warning: 'memcpy' offset [25, 28] from the object at 'threshold' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'low' with type 'struct iw_quality' at offset 20 [-Warray-bounds]

The problem is that the original code is trying to copy data into a couple of struct members adjacent to each other in a single call to memcpy(). This causes a legitimate compiler warning because memcpy() overruns the length of &threshold.low and &spydata->spy_thr_low. As these are just a couple of struct members, fix this by using direct assignments, instead of memcpy().

This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy().

---
Changes in v2:
- Use direct struct assignments instead of memcpy().
- Fix one more instance of this same issue in function iw_handler_get_thrspy().
- Update changelog text.
- Add Kees' RB tag.

2.27.0

Thanks.

He probably won't mind in this case, but you did some pretty substantial changes to the patch, so I really wouldn't recommend keeping it there.

johannes

Right.

Kees, could you please confirm you RB tag in this new version?

Thanks

Thanks for double-checking! Yeah, I'm fine with it; Gustavo and I had talked in the past about similar solutions in other places, so he forwarded the intent from those conversations. (Not that you had any visibility into that!) But, yes, still:

Thanks!
