4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx> commit 857a661020a2de3a0304edf33ad656abee100891 upstream. Commit 0557344e2149 ("staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: fix local var for 32-bit read") changed the type of local variable `d` from `unsigned short` to `unsigned int` to fix a bug introduced in commit 9c340ac934db ("staging: comedi: ni_stc.h: add read/write callbacks to struct ni_private") when reading AI data for NI PCI-6110 and PCI-6111 cards. Unfortunately, other parts of the function rely on the variable being `unsigned short` when an offset value in local variable `signbits` is added to `d` before writing the value to the `data` array: d += signbits; data[n] = d; The `signbits` variable will be non-zero in bipolar mode, and is used to convert the hardware's 2's complement, 16-bit numbers to Comedi's straight binary sample format (with 0 representing the most negative voltage). This breaks because `d` is now 32 bits wide instead of 16 bits wide, so after the addition of `signbits`, `data[n]` ends up being set to values above 65536 for negative voltages. This affects all supported "E series" cards except PCI-6143 (and PXI-6143). Fix it by ANDing the value written to the `data[n]` with the mask 0xffff.
