Subject: [PATCH] firewire: core: fix upper bound of possible CSR allocations
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:02:54 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.e4d747d0544a6f14@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (raw)
region->end is defined as an upper bound of the requested address range,
exclusive --- i.e. as an address outside of the range in which the
requested CSR is to be placed.
Hence 0x0001,0000,0000,0000 is the biggest valid region->end, not
0x0000,ffff,ffff,fffc like the current check asserted.
For simplicity, the fix drops the region->end & 3 test because there is
no actual problem with these bits set in region->end. The allocated
address range will be quadlet aligned and of a size of multiple quadlets
due to the checks for region->start & 3 and handler->length & 3 alone.
