This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vme: Fix wrong pointer utilization in ca91cx42_slave_get to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From c8a6a09c1c617402cc9254b2bc8da359a0347d75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Augusto Mecking Caringi <augustocaringi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 10:45:00 +0000 Subject: vme: Fix wrong pointer utilization in ca91cx42_slave_get MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit In ca91cx42_slave_get function, the value pointed by vme_base pointer is set through: *vme_base = ioread32(bridge->base + CA91CX42_VSI_BS[i]); So it must be dereferenced to be used in calculation of pci_base: *pci_base = (dma_addr_t)*vme_base + pci_offset; This bug was caught thanks to the following gcc warning: drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c: In function ‘ca91cx42_slave_get’: drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c:467:14: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast] *pci_base = (dma_addr_t)vme_base + pci_offset; Signed-off-by: Augusto Mecking Caringi <augustocaringi@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-By: Martyn Welch <martyn@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c b/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c index 6b5ee896af63..7cc51223db1c 100644 --- a/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c +++ b/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c @@ -464,7 +464,7 @@ static int ca91cx42_slave_get(struct vme_slave_resource *image, int *enabled, vme_bound = ioread32(bridge->base + CA91CX42_VSI_BD[i]); pci_offset = ioread32(bridge->base + CA91CX42_VSI_TO[i]); - *pci_base = (dma_addr_t)vme_base + pci_offset; + *pci_base = (dma_addr_t)*vme_base + pci_offset; *size = (unsigned long long)((vme_bound - *vme_base) + granularity); *enabled = 0; -- 2.11.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
