Subject: [PATCH v2] parisc: Strip upper 32 bit of sum in csum_ipv6_magic for 64-bit builds
Date: Tue, 27 Feb 2024 12:33:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240227203351.3445929-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)

IPv6 checksum tests with unaligned addresses on 64-bit builds result
in unexpected failures.

Expected expected == csum_result, but
    expected == 46591 (0xb5ff)
    csum_result == 46381 (0xb52d)
with alignment offset 1

Oddly enough, the problem disappeared after adding test code into
the beginning of csum_ipv6_magic().

As it turns out, the 'sum' parameter of csum_ipv6_magic() is declared as
__wsum, which is a 32-bit variable. However, it is treated as 64-bit
variable in the 64-bit assembler code. Tests showed that the upper 32 bit
of the register used to pass the variable are _not_ cleared when entering
the function. This can result in checksum calculation errors.

Clearing the upper 32 bit of 'sum' as first operation in the assembler
code fixes the problem.

v2: Updated subject, clarified that the problem only affects 64-bit builds,
    added Helge's Acked-by: tag.
