Subject: [PATCH 086/100] powerpc: Fix parameter clobber in csum_partial_copy_generic()
3.5.7.23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit d9813c3681a36774b254c0cdc9cce53c9e22c756 upstream.
The csum_partial_copy_generic() uses register r7 to adjust the remaining
bytes to process. Unfortunately, r7 also holds a parameter, namely the
address of the flag to set in case of access exceptions while reading
the source buffer. Lacking a quantum implementation of PowerPC, this
commit instead uses register r9 to do the adjusting, leaving r7's
pointer uncorrupted.
