Date: Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:31:05 -0700 From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-raid@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, Maciej Sosnowski <maciej.sosnowski@...el.com> Subject: [PATCH 07/29] ioat: fix type mismatch for ->dmacount ->dmacount tracks the sequence number of active descriptors. It is written to the DMACOUNT register to update the channel's view of pending descriptors in the chain. The register is 16-bits so ->dmacount should be unsigned and 16-bit as well. Also modify ->desccount to maintain alignment. This was never a problem in practice because we never compared dmacount values, but this is a bug waiting to happen.
