Hello Anant Gole, The patch a6286ee630f6: "net: Add TI DaVinci EMAC driver" from May 18, 2009, has the following potentially buggy code: drivers/net/ethernet/ti/davinci_emac.c 1316 ((EMAC_DEF_ERROR_FRAME_EN) ? (EMAC_RXMBP_CEFEN_MASK) : 0x0) | 1317 ((EMAC_DEF_PROM_EN) ? (EMAC_RXMBP_CAFEN_MASK) : 0x0) | 1318 ((EMAC_DEF_PROM_CH & EMAC_RXMBP_CHMASK) << \ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is bit 0 but it's used as a mask. It should maybe be: EMAC_MBP_PROMISCCH(EMAC_DEF_PROM_CH) & EMAC_RXMBP_CHMASK 1319 EMAC_RXMBP_PROMCH_SHIFT) | 1320 ((EMAC_DEF_BCAST_EN) ? (EMAC_RXMBP_BROADEN_MASK) : 0x0) | 1321 ((EMAC_DEF_BCAST_CH & EMAC_RXMBP_CHMASK) << \ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Same thing here. 1322 EMAC_RXMBP_BROADCH_SHIFT) | 1323 ((EMAC_DEF_MCAST_EN) ? (EMAC_RXMBP_MULTIEN_MASK) : 0x0) | 1324 ((EMAC_DEF_MCAST_CH & EMAC_RXMBP_CHMASK) << \ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1325 EMAC_RXMBP_MULTICH_SHIFT)); Really, this whole section of bit masks is very hard to look at or review. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
