From c81095a465b2c1cd819fb14ee3cd07bc1b377af1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cedric Le Goater Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 14:47:08 +0100 Subject: powerpc/nvram: Fix endian issue when using the partition length When reading partitions, the length has to be translated from big endian to the endian order of the host. Similarly, when writing partitions, the length needs to be in big endian order. The userspace tool 'nvram' needs a similar fix as it is reading and writing partitions through /dev/nram : http://sourceforge.net/p/powerpc-utils/mailman/message/31571277/ Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt --- arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c index 8213ee1eb05a..fd82c289ab1c 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c @@ -223,9 +223,13 @@ static int __init nvram_write_header(struct nvram_partition * part) { loff_t tmp_index; int rc; - + struct nvram_header phead; + + memcpy(&phead, &part->header, NVRAM_HEADER_LEN); + phead.length = cpu_to_be16(phead.length); + tmp_index = part->index; - rc = ppc_md.nvram_write((char *)&part->header, NVRAM_HEADER_LEN, &tmp_index); + rc = ppc_md.nvram_write((char *)&phead, NVRAM_HEADER_LEN, &tmp_index); return rc; } @@ -505,6 +509,8 @@ int __init nvram_scan_partitions(void) memcpy(&phead, header, NVRAM_HEADER_LEN); + phead.length = be16_to_cpu(phead.length); + err = 0; c_sum = nvram_checksum(&phead); if (c_sum != phead.checksum) { -- cgit v1.2.3
