[PATCH 0/1] vfio: ccw: bugfix

[Dong Jia Shi]

Hi Conny,

I got a vfio-ccw bugfix on the kernel from Jason. The patch looks good to me.

BTW, is it fine with you to let the author sending the patch to you directly,
or you prefer we queuing a batch of fixes on our devel branch and send them to
you together periodically (say, target on a certain release)?

Regards!

[PATCH 1/1] vfio: ccw: fix bad ptr math for TIC cda translation

[Dong Jia Shi]

From: "Jason J. Herne" <jjherne@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When we are translating channel data addresses from guest to host
address space for TIC instructions we are getting incorrect
addresses because of a pointer arithmetic error.

We currently calculate the offset of the TIC's cda from the start
of the channel program chain (ccw->cda - ccw_head). We then add
that to the address of the ccw chain in host memory (iter->ch_ccw).
The problem is that iter->ch_ccw is a poiner to struct ccw1 so
when we increment it we are actually incrementing by the size of
struct ccw1 which is 8 bytes. The intent was to increment by
n-bytes, not n*8.

The fix: cast iter->ch_ccw to char* so it will be incremented by
n*1.

Ah, so you saw actual failures?

Please add your s-o-b if you send out patches, otherwise I cannot apply
them, sorry.

You basically can send patches to me at any time, and I'll do a pullreq
when I think it makes sense. I'll take good patches from everyone :)

If you have an urgent bugfix and I'm not available, feel free to have
Martin pick it up directly (with me on cc:).
