>From 1c3c79c4c79aa8a665ddf41c08b4363cbb946950 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Paul Maloy Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 11:49:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [TIPC]: Enhancements to msg_set_bits() routine This patch makes two enhancements to msg_set_bits(): 1) It now ignores any bits of the new field value that are not covered by the mask being used. (Previously, if the new value exceeded the size of the mask the extra bits could corrupt other fields in the message header word being updated.) 2) The code has been optimized to minimize the number of run-time endianness conversion operations by leveraging the fact that the mask (and, in some cases, the value as well) is constant and the necessary conversion can be performed by the compiler.
