Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] staging: rtl8723bs: replace uint with explicit types in rtw_security.c
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 01:37:51 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006200751.819332-3-contact.pranavdesai@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006200751.819332-1-contact.pranavdesai@gmail.com>

The non-standard 'uint' type was being used inconsistently for
lengths, boolean flags, and computed values.

Replace 'uint' with explicit types based on their usage:
- Change 'plen' to u32 in both aes_cipher and aes_decipher.
- Change 'hdrlen' to u16 in aes_cipher to match struct pkt_attrib.
- Change 'hdrlen' to u8 in aes_decipher to match struct rx_pkt_attrib.
- Change 'qc_exists' and 'a4_exists' to bool as they are flags.
- Change 'frtype' and 'frsubtype' to u8 because they are masked
  down from 16-bit values and cannot exceed 8-bit values.
- Change 'payload_remainder' to u8 because it is calculated as
  (plen % 16), which guarantees a range of 0-15.
- Change 'payload_index' to u32 because it indexes into the payload,
  which is bounded by plen (u32).
- Change 'num_blocks' to u32 since it is derived from 'plen' (u32).
- Change 'len' and 'ori_len' in rtw_BIP_verify to u32 since they are
  compute values derived from pattrib->pkt_len.
- Change generic loop iterators (i, j) to unsigned int.
- Update helper functions (construct_mic_iv, construct_mic_header1,
  etc.) to match these new explicit parameter types.

No functional change intended.
