Subject: [PATCH] ata: pata_ep93xx: fix incorrect return value in data_xfer
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 12:21:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601192109.21262-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
The while (words--) loop post-decrements words, so it underflows from
0 to UINT_MAX on exit. The function then returns "words << 1", which
is either 0 (for odd-length transfers after words++) or 0xFFFFFFFE
(for even-length transfers). Callers like __atapi_pio_bytes() depend
on the correct byte count to manage scatter-gather progress; a wrong
value causes ATAPI PIO transfer errors.
Fix by returning buflen instead of the corrupted words counter, matching
what ata_sff_data_xfer() does.
