	memcpy(dst->ssid, src->ssid, src->ssid_len);

Smatch says that at this point we know "src->ssid_len" is in the 1-32
range.  This is without any fixes to how Smatch parses nl_len().

   313          if (request->n_ssids > 0) {
   314                  msg1.scantype.data = P80211ENUM_scantype_active;
   315                  msg1.ssid.data.len = request->ssids->ssid_len;
   316                  memcpy(msg1.ssid.data.data,
   317                         request->ssids->ssid, request->ssids->ssid_len);
   318          } else {

The only thing Smatch knows about "request->ssids->ssid_len" is that
it's 0-255.  I had not marked "msg1.ssid.data.data" as a protected
struct member so it didn't generate a warning.

I think cfg80211_scan_request structs are filled out in a systematic
way in ieee80211_request_ibss_scan() and they're bounds checked properly
so this isn't a bug.

Same.
