[PATCH v3] wifi: mac80211: fix mbss changed flags corruption on 32 bit systems

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

 



On 32-bit systems, the size of an unsigned long is 4 bytes,
while a u64 is 8 bytes. Therefore, when using
or_each_set_bit(bit, &bits, sizeof(changed) * BITS_PER_BYTE),
the code is incorrectly searching for a bit in a 32-bit
variable that is expected to be 64 bits in size,
leading to incorrect bit finding.

Solution: Ensure that the size of the bits variable is correctly
adjusted for each architecture.

Changes in v2:
- Use BITMAP_FROM_U64() to map all the 64 bits.
- Update the commit description.
Changes in v3:
- Remove not needed check on the variable bits.
