[PATCH v3 0/1] virtio_bt: Fix alignment in configuration struct

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

 



According to specification [1], "For the device-specific configuration
space, the driver MUST use 8 bit wide accesses for 8 bit wide fields,
16 bit wide and aligned accesses for 16 bit wide fields and 32 bit wide
and aligned accesses for 32 and 64 bit wide fields.".

Current version of the configuration structure has non-aligned 16bit
fields.

This patch adds a second, aligned  version of the configuration structure
and a new feature bit indicating that this version is being used.

Changes in v4:
  v3 was corrupted by our smtp server.
Changes in v3:
  v2 had been sent from the wrong address, fixed.
Changes in v2:
  The first version of this patch just changed the configuration
  structure in uapi/linux/virtio_bt.h
  This can not be done, because it will break the userspace, so the
  second version offers a less radical approach - it introduces a new
  feature bit and a new configuration structure that both the device
  and the driver will use if this bit is negotiated.
