Subject: [patch 06/22] bnx2x: PCI configuration bug on big-endian
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 21:23:02 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081115052302.GG3710@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081115052220.GA3710@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: bnx2x-pci-configuration-bug-on-big-endian.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1560 bytes --]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com>

commit 7d96567ac0527703cf1b80043fc0ebd7f21a10ad upstream.

The current code read nothing but zeros on big-endian (wrong part of the
32bits). This caused poor performance on big-endian machines. Though this
issue did not cause the system to crash, the performance is significantly
better with the fix so I view it as critical bug fix.
