Re: [PATCH] wireless: Read scan flags correctly on x86-64

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

 



Quoting David Kilroy <kilroyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

The SIOCSIWSCAN handler is passed data in an iw_point structure. Some
drivers erronously use an iw_param instead.

On 32 bit architectures the difference isn't noticed as the flags
parameter tends to be the only one used by scan handlers and is at the
same offset.

On 64 bit architectures the pointer in the iw_point structure means the
flag parameter is at different offsets in these structures.

Thanks to Jean Tourrilhes for tracking this down for orinoco, and Pavel
Roskin for confirming the fix and identifying other suspect handlers.
