This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled VME: Correct read/write alignment algorithm 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 f0342e66b397947ed8c3eef8c37b5ca2d5b1bb50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martyn Welch <martyn.welch@xxxxxx> Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2014 15:48:56 +0000 Subject: VME: Correct read/write alignment algorithm In order to ensure the correct width cycles on the VME bus, the VME bridge drivers implement an algorithm to utilise the largest possible width reads and writes whilst maintaining natural alignment constraints. The algorithm currently looks at the start address rather than the current read/write address when determining whether a 16-bit width cycle is required to get to 32-bit alignment. This results in incorrect alignment, Reported-by: Jim Strouth <james.strouth@xxxxxx> Tested-by: Jim Strouth <james.strouth@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martyn Welch <martyn.welch@xxxxxx> Cc: stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c | 4 ++-- drivers/vme/bridges/vme_tsi148.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c b/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c index a06edbfa95ca..1b5d48c578e1 100644 --- a/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c +++ b/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_ca91cx42.c @@ -884,7 +884,7 @@ static ssize_t ca91cx42_master_read(struct vme_master_resource *image, if (done == count) goto out; } - if ((uintptr_t)addr & 0x2) { + if ((uintptr_t)(addr + done) & 0x2) { if ((count - done) < 2) { *(u8 *)(buf + done) = ioread8(addr + done); done += 1; @@ -938,7 +938,7 @@ static ssize_t ca91cx42_master_write(struct vme_master_resource *image, if (done == count) goto out; } - if ((uintptr_t)addr & 0x2) { + if ((uintptr_t)(addr + done) & 0x2) { if ((count - done) < 2) { iowrite8(*(u8 *)(buf + done), addr + done); done += 1; diff --git a/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_tsi148.c b/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_tsi148.c index 16830d8b777c..9911cd5fddb5 100644 --- a/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_tsi148.c +++ b/drivers/vme/bridges/vme_tsi148.c @@ -1289,7 +1289,7 @@ static ssize_t tsi148_master_read(struct vme_master_resource *image, void *buf, if (done == count) goto out; } - if ((uintptr_t)addr & 0x2) { + if ((uintptr_t)(addr + done) & 0x2) { if ((count - done) < 2) { *(u8 *)(buf + done) = ioread8(addr + done); done += 1; @@ -1371,7 +1371,7 @@ static ssize_t tsi148_master_write(struct vme_master_resource *image, void *buf, if (done == count) goto out; } - if ((uintptr_t)addr & 0x2) { + if ((uintptr_t)(addr + done) & 0x2) { if ((count - done) < 2) { iowrite8(*(u8 *)(buf + done), addr + done); done += 1; -- 1.8.5.1.163.gd7aced9 -- 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
