Subject: Re: 5.10.58 UBSAN from brcmf_sdio_dpc+0xa50/0x128c [brcmfmac]

Hi Arend, sorry for my late response, partly because compilation takes 10 hours
on RPi4B...
I did the same thing with version 5.10.59 and CLang 11 and got the same
UBSAN.

Summary: I confirm that the stack trace indeed points to
brcmf_sdio_sendfromq(). The detail follows (you don't have to read it if
you believe in me :-)
If kernel version 5.10.x or 5.13.x is compiled with gcc 10, I have never seen
UBSAN. I wonder if CLang 11/12 tends to generate falsely positive UBSAN.

(gdb) add-symbol-file  drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/brcmfmac.ko 0x0

Line 2016 of skbuff.h is __skb_insert in the next inline function:
static inline void __skb_queue_before(struct sk_buff_head *list,
                                      struct sk_buff *next,

        __skb_insert(newsk, next->prev, next, list);
}

Then:
(gdb) l *brcmf_sdio_dpc+0xa43
0x27797 is at drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2346.

The line 2346 is in the function brcmf_sdio_sendfromq().
