Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/5] I2O: SPARC fixes
Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 23:07:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051120230714.GD27946@ftp.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20051120225256.GC27946@ftp.linux.org.uk>

	And here's another fun one:
                evt->size = size;
                evt->tcntxt = le32_to_cpu(msg->u.s.tcntxt);
                evt->event_indicator = le32_to_cpu(msg->body[0]);
                memcpy(&evt->tcntxt, &msg->u.s.tcntxt, size * 4);
in i2o_driver_dispatch().

We have
struct i2o_event {
        struct work_struct work;
        struct i2o_device *i2o_dev;     /* I2O device pointer from which the
                                           event reply was initiated */
        u16 size;               /* Size of data in 32-bit words */
        u32 tcntxt;             /* Transaction context used at
                                   registration */
        u32 event_indicator;    /* Event indicator from reply */
        u32 data[0];            /* Event data from reply */
};

and
in msg tcntxt goes right before body[0].  So we copy two 32bit values
converting to host order and then immediately overwrite them with
unconverted ones.

Looks like these assignments were meant to go *after* memcpy() and
serve as a fixup...
