    iwlwifi: fix crash in iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger · ea0cca61
    Jiri Slaby authored
    The tlv passed to iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger comes from a loaded firmware
    file. The memory can be marked as read-only as firmware could be
    shared. In anyway, writing to this memory is not expected. So,
    iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger can crash now:

    As can be seen, write bit is not set in the PTE. Read of
    trig->occurrences succeeds in iwl_dbg_tlv_alloc_trigger, but
    trig->occurrences = cpu_to_le32(-1); fails there, obviously.
    
    This is likely because we (at SUSE) use compressed firmware and that is
    marked as RO after decompression (see fw_map_paged_buf).
    
    Fix it by creating a temporary buffer in case we need to change the
    memory.
