Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4: Memcpy at slave_event should copy sizeof mlx4_eqe
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2015 10:19:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1445609940-12234-1-git-send-email-clsoto@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
From: Carol L Soto <clsoto@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
If the caps.eqe_size is bigger than the struct mlx4_eqe then there
is a potential for corrupting data at the master context. We can see
the message "Master failed to generate an EQE for slave: X" when the
event_eqe array wraps and we can see potential oops at the function
mlx4_GEN_EQE.
