The MAC_ADDR stored in driver private structure is of unsigned char data type but strlcpy parameters is of signed char data type. This conversion of data types lead to change in the value.This changed value is passed to the upper layer and junk characters were displayed when "iscsiadm -m iface" command was run. In case of iSCSI boot, since the the MAC_ADDR was coming junk the boot was also not working Signed-off-by: John Soni Jose <sony.john-n@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jayamohan Kallickal <jayamohan.kallickal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_iscsi.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_iscsi.c b/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_iscsi.c index 2bd4aeb..73300f1 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_iscsi.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_iscsi.c @@ -792,7 +792,7 @@ int beiscsi_get_macaddr(char *buf, struct beiscsi_hba *phba) int rc; if (strlen(phba->mac_address)) - return strlcpy(buf, phba->mac_address, PAGE_SIZE); + return sysfs_format_mac(buf, phba->mac_address, ETH_ALEN); memset(&resp, 0, sizeof(resp)); rc = mgmt_get_nic_conf(phba, &resp); -- 1.7.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
