Subject: [patch 20/20] DMI: fix DMI onboard device discovery
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 20:28:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060325042804.GU21260@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060325042556.GA21260@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: dmi-fix-dmi-onboard-device-discovery.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1074 bytes --]

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

------------------
From: Andrey Panin <pazke@donpac.ru>

Attached patch fixes invalid pointer arithmetic in DMI code to make onboard
device discovery working again.

akpm: bug has been present since dmi_find_device() was added in 2.6.14. 
Affects ipmi only (I think) - the symptoms weren't described.

akpm: changed to use pointer arithmetic rather than open-coded sizeof.
