[PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 012/101] sparc64: ldc abort during vds iso boot

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

[ Upstream commit 6c95483b768c62f8ee933ae08a1bdbcb78b5410f ]

Orabug: 20902628

When an ldc control-only packet is received during data exchange in
read_nonraw(), a new rx head is calculated but the rx queue head is not
actually advanced (rx_set_head() is not called) and a branch is taken to
'no_data' at which point two things can happen depending on the value
of the newly calculated rx head and the current rx tail:

- If the rx queue is determined to be not empty, then the wrong packet
  is picked up.

- If the rx queue is determined to be empty, then a read error (EAGAIN)
  is eventually returned since it is falsely assumed that more data was
  expected.

The fix is to update the rx head and return in case of a control only
packet during data exchange.
