Subject: [PATCH] [WATCHDOG] Fix declaration of struct smbios_entry_point in hpwdt
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 09:38:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <adaejaxx9p7.fsf_-_@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E14D1C2A44812C4F9C3ED321127EDF6505829D5D6C@G3W0854.americas.hpqcorp.net> (Thomas Mingarelli's message of "Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:02:36 +0000")
On my HP DL380 G5 system running a 64-bit kernel, loading the hpwdt
driver causes a crash because the driver attempts to ioremap an
invalid physical address. This is because the driver has an incorrect
definition of the SMBIOS table entry point structure: the table
address is only a 32-bit quantity, and making it a u64 means that the
high-order 32 bits end up containing garbage.
Correcting the structure definition fixes the driver so that it loads
without any problems on my system.
