[PATCH 00/14] staging: comedi: Fix some command data endian problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The `comedi_buf_read_samples()` and `comedi_buf_write_samples()`
functions can read/write either 16-bit or 32-bit values from/to the
Comedi buffer used for Comedi asynchonous command data.  The width of
the value depends on whether the subdevice sets the `SDF_LSAMPL` flag
(indicating 32-bit samples, if set).

Various Comedi drivers are calling `comedi_buf_write_samples()` with the
address of an object of type `unsigned int` when the subdevice is set to
use 16-bit wide samples (`SDF_LSAMPL` flag clear).  That will not work
properly on bigendian machines because it will be transferring a 2-byte
value from the wrong end of the 32-bit integer.  This patch series fixes
those problems.

For some of the drivers, the value being transferred is always 0 anyway,
so it doesn't matter much, but fix them anyway in patches 10 thru 14.
