Subject: Re: KMSAN: uninit-value in ath9k_htc_rx_msg

Hello.

I found that your patch was applied. But since the reproducer tested only 0 byte
case, I think that rejecting only less than sizeof(struct htc_frame_hdr) bytes
is not sufficient.

More complete patch with Ack from Toke is waiting at
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/7acfa1be-4b5c-b2ce-de43-95b0593fb3e5@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp .

Please consider overriding with my version.
