Subject: [UBSAN] iwlmvm's iwl_mvm_enable_txq accesses IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE

Hi,

we have got an UBSAN report from opensuse's user who booten
UBSAN-enabled kernel by mistake:
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/utils.c:667:49
shift exponent 255 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'

mac80211_queue is 255 which is IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE, so it should
not be worked with at all.

The invalid queue is hopefully handled in ieee80211_check_queues after
drv_add_interface in ieee80211_do_open:

res = drv_add_interface(local, sdata);
if (res)
        goto err_stop;
res = ieee80211_check_queues(sdata,
        ieee80211_vif_type_p2p(&sdata->vif));

But the mvm driver still should not blindly shift 1 by 255 in
iwl_mvm_enable_txq. Should the check for the invalid queue be before
adding the interface in mac80211? Or should drivers check it in their
add_interface?

thanks,
