3c59x: mask LAST_FRAG bit from length field in ring
Recently, I fixed a bug in 3c59x: commit 6e144419e4da11a9a4977c8d899d7247d94ca338 Author: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Date: Wed Jan 13 12:43:54 2016 -0500 3c59x: fix another page map/single unmap imbalance Which correctly rebalanced dma mapping and unmapping types. Unfortunately it introduced a new bug which causes oopses on older systems. When mapping dma regions, the last entry for a packet in the 3c59x tx ring encodes a LAST_FRAG bit, which is encoded as the high order bit of the buffers length field. When it is unmapped the LAST_FRAG bit is cleared prior to being passed to the unmap function. Unfortunately the commit above fails to do that masking. It was missed in testing because the system on which I tested it had an intel iommu, the driver for which ignores the size field, using only the DMA address as the token to identify the mapping to be released. However, on older systems that rely on swiotlb (or other dma drivers that key off that length field), not masking off that LAST_FRAG high order bit results in parsing a huge size to be release, leading to all sorts of odd corruptions and the like. Fix is easy, just mask the length with 0xFFF. It should really be &(LAST_FRAG-1), but 0xFFF is the style of the file, and I'd like to make this fix minimal and correct before making it prettier. Appies to the net tree cleanly. All testing on both iommu and swiommu based systems produce good results Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: Steffen Klassert <klassert@mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de> CC: "David S.
