Subject: [10/30] libertas if_usb: Fix crash on 64-bit machines
Date: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:56:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091106215951.349463309@mini.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091106220156.GA13813@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: libertas-if_usb-fix-crash-on-64-bit-machines.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1555 bytes --]

2.6.29-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

commit e9024a059f2c17fb2bfab212ee9d31511d7b8e57 upstream.

On a 64-bit kernel, skb->tail is an offset, not a pointer. The libertas
usb driver passes it to usb_fill_bulk_urb() anyway, causing interesting
crashes. Fix that by using skb->data instead.

This highlights a problem with usb_fill_bulk_urb(). It doesn't notice
when dma_map_single() fails and return the error to its caller as it
should. In fact it _can't_ currently return the error, since it returns
void.

So this problem was showing up only at unmap time, after we'd already
suffered memory corruption by doing DMA to a bogus address.
