Subject: [PATCH] blkfront: fix data size for xenbus_gather in, blkfront_connect
Date: Mon, 02 May 2011 13:06:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DBE902B.7050200@mimuw.edu.pl> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 827 bytes --]

barrier variable is int, not long. This overflow caused another variable
override: "err" (in PV code) and "binfo" (in xenlinux code -
drivers/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c). The later caused incorrect device
flags (RO/removable etc).
