Subject: Altera TSE (altera_tse) - tx_fifo_depth init bug
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 22:26:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54C8026B.9070607@vsis.cz> (raw)

Hello,

I have discovered a bug in Altera TSE (altera_tse) ethernet driver.

In altera_tse_main.c, function altera_tse_probe:

	if (of_property_read_u32(pdev->dev.of_node, "tx-fifo-depth",
				 &priv->rx_fifo_depth)) {

the TX related "tx-fifo-depth" is read from device tree, but by mistake 
written to RX related struct member rx_fifo_depth instead of correct 
tx_fifo_depth.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/altera/altera_tse_main.c#L1401

I am not sure about impact of this bug, but it seems that 
priv->tx_fifo_depth is left uninitialised which is definitely not OK.

[PATCH 1/1] Altera TSE: Fix priv->tx_fifo_depth initialization

This patch fixes priv->tx_fifo_depth initialization in altera_tse_probe().
The "tx-fifo-depth" attribute was read again into rx_fifo_depth instead 
of correct tx_fifo_depth probably because of copy-and-paste typo,
and tx_fifo_depth was left uninitialised.
