[PATCH 4.4 34/90] xen-netfront: do not cast grant table reference to signed short

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 87557efc27f6a50140fb20df06a917f368ce3c66 upstream.

While grant reference is of type uint32_t, xen-netfront erroneously casts
it to signed short in BUG_ON().

This would lead to the xen domU panic during boot-up or migration when it
is attached with lots of paravirtual devices.
