Subject: [PATCH net] bnxt_en: Fix zero padding of tx push data.
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 02:10:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456125026-16093-1-git-send-email-michael.chan@broadcom.com> (raw)

The arithmetic to zero pad the last 64-bit word in the push buffer is not
correct.

1. It should be pdata + length to get to the end.
2. 'pdata' is void pointer and passing it to PTR_ALIGN() will cast the
aligned pointer to void.  Pass 'end' which is u64 pointer to PTR_ALIGN()
instead so that the aligned pointer - 1 is the last 64-bit pointer to data.
