This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mtd: map: fixed bug in 64-bit systems to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From b7c52c614404f59da00a76b88cf0115d2a07dd64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Haitao <wang.haitao1@zte.com.cn> Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:32:38 +0800 Subject: mtd: map: fixed bug in 64-bit systems commit a4d62babf988fe5dfde24437fa135ef147bc7aa0 upstream. Hardware: CPU: XLP832,the 64-bit OS NOR Flash:S29GL128S 128M Software: Kernel:2.6.32.41 Filesystem:JFFS2 When writing files, errors appear: Write len 182 but return retlen 180 Write of 182 bytes at 0x072c815c failed. returned -5, retlen 180 Write len 186 but return retlen 184 Write of 186 bytes at 0x072caff4 failed. returned -5, retlen 184 These errors exist only in 64-bit systems,not in 32-bit systems. After analysis, we found that the left shift operation is wrong in map_word_load_partial. For instance: unsigned char buf[3] ={0x9e,0x3a,0xea}; map_bankwidth(map) is 4; for (i=0; i < 3; i++) { int bitpos; bitpos = (map_bankwidth(map)-1-i)*8; orig.x[0] &= ~(0xff << bitpos); orig.x[0] |= buf[i] << bitpos; } The value of orig.x[0] is expected to be 0x9e3aeaff, but in this situation(64-bit System) we'll get the wrong value of 0xffffffff9e3aeaff due to the 64-bit sign extension: buf[i] is defined as "unsigned char" and the left-shift operation will convert it to the type of "signed int", so when left-shift buf[i] by 24 bits, the final result will get the wrong value: 0xffffffff9e3aeaff. If the left-shift bits are less than 24, then sign extension will not occur. Whereas the bankwidth of the nor flash we used is 4, therefore this BUG emerges.
