Subject: [PATCH] linux,tce-size property is 32 bits
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 22:28:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061005032800.GH24705@localdomain> (raw)

The "linux,tce-size" property is only 32 bits (see
prom_initialize_tce_table() in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c).
Treating it as an unsigned long in iommu_table_setparms() leads to
access beyond the end of the property's buffer, so we pass garbage to
the memset() in that function.

I believe this is a regression since 2.6.18, so please push for
inclusion in 2.6.19.
