I think this is the samiliar problem as what Kees Cook pointed out in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/202209211250.3049C29@keescook/

It seems that memcpy() will performs run-time buffer bounds
checking, which triggers this warning.

Is this expected to be dynamically sized? I assume so, given the "Real
length" comment. :)

adding in more context code:

                memcpy(&compat_event->pointer,
                        ((char *) &compat_wrqu) + IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF,

                                extra, extra_len);

The code above has "pointer" as a memcpy destination as well. I think
that should be changed to pointer_flex as well, as the length calculation
is the same. I wonder what FORTIFY will think about the second memcpy
above. If I'm reading the math correctly, it might need to be:

                if (extra_len) {
			size_t offset = hdr_len - offsetof(typeof(*compat_event), pointer_flex);
			memcpy(&compat_event->pointer_flex[offset], extra, extra_len);
		}

But otherwise, yes, looks like the right modification. Thanks for tackling
this! It is quite a weird structure! :)

I think this is dynamically sized.

	hdr_len = compat_event_type_size[descr->header_type];
	event_len = hdr_len + extra_len;

	[...]

	/* Add the wireless events in the netlink packet */
	nla = nla_reserve(compskb, IFLA_WIRELESS, event_len);
	if (!nla) {
		kfree_skb(skb);
		kfree_skb(compskb);
		return;
	}
	compat_event = nla_data(nla);

	[...]

	if (descr->header_type == IW_HEADER_TYPE_POINT) {
		compat_wrqu.length = wrqu->data.length;
		compat_wrqu.flags = wrqu->data.flags;
		memcpy(&compat_event->pointer,
			((char *) &compat_wrqu) + IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF,
			hdr_len - IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN);
		if (extra_len)
			memcpy(((char *) compat_event) + hdr_len,
				extra, extra_len);
	} else {
		/* extra_len must be zero, so no if (extra) needed */
		memcpy(&compat_event->pointer, wrqu,
			hdr_len - IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN);
	}

according to the above code, it seems that this structure is used to
parse ths payload from buffer, so the field **pointer** should just
be a position label to the unused bytes in buffer. Its unused bytes will be
parsed as different structure according to event type.

I agree with you. It seems that in this situation,
the event type has been cleared, the unuesd bytes start from **pointer**
field should be parsed as struct iw_point type as below, which is a bigger
structure than **pointer**, it will also triggers the memcpy() warning.
/*
	 * The problem for 64/32 bit.
	 *
	 * On 64-bit, a regular event is laid out as follows:
	 * An iw_point event is laid out like this instead:
	 *      |  0  |  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |
	 *      | event.len | event.cmd |     p a d d i n g     |
	 *      | iwpnt.len | iwpnt.flg |     p a d d i n g     |
	 *      | extra data  ...
	 *
	 * The second padding exists because struct iw_point is extended,
	 * but this depends on the platform...
	 *
	 * On 32-bit, all the padding shouldn't be there.
	 */

And as for the value of offsetof in calculating **offset**,
I wonder if we can use the macro defined in
include/linux/wireless.h as below, which makes code simplier:
#define IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN offsetof(struct __compat_iw_event, pointer)

	hdr_len = compat_event_type_size[descr->header_type];
	event_len = hdr_len + extra_len;

	[...]

	/* Add the wireless events in the netlink packet */
	nla = nla_reserve(compskb, IFLA_WIRELESS, event_len);

According to above code, it seems that kernel will saves enough memory
(hdr_len + extra_len bytes) for payload structure in
nla_reserve()(Please correct me if I am wrong), pointed by compat_event.
So I wonder if we can use unsafe_memcpy(), to avoid unnecessary
memory() check as below, which seems more simple:

Ah yes, that would be good.

I'd rather this was properly resolved with the creation of a real
flexible array so that when bounds tracking gets improved in the future,
the compiler can reason about it better. And, I think, it makes the code
more readable:

Yes, it seems that this code is more readable. I will refactor the patch
in this way, with some comments on union in struct compat_iw_point.

By the way, do you think we need to refactor the **struct compat_iw_point**
into union with some comments, or just replace the **pointer** field with
**DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY(__u8, ptr_bytes)**? Because it seems that this field is
only used in wireless_send_event() and some macros in this
