[PATCH wireless-drivers-next 3/4] net: wlcore: fix bug reading fwlog

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

 



With logging enabled, it has been observed that the driver spews
messages such as:

wlcore: ERROR Calculate of clear addr Clear = 204025b0, write = 204015b0

The problem occurs because 204025b0 is the end of the buffer, and
204015b0 is the beginning, and the calculation for "clear"ing the
buffer does not take into account that if we read to the very end
of the ring buffer, we are actually at the beginning of the buffer.

Fix this.
