[OE-core] [PATCH] qemu: Add fixes for smc91c11 qemu segfaults on arm

Richard Purdie richard.purdie at linuxfoundation.org
Mon Sep 7 14:35:49 UTC 2015


The smc91c111.c driver appears to have several issues. The can_receive()
function can return that the driver is ready when rx_fifo has not been 
freed yet. There is also no sanity check of rx_fifo() in _receive() which
can lead to corruption of the rx_fifo array.

release_packet() can also call qemu_flush_queued_packets() before rx_fifo 
has been cleaned up, resulting in cases where packets are submitted
for which there is not yet any space.

This patch therefore:

* fixes the logic in can_receive()
* adds logic to receive() as a sanity check
* moves the flush() calls to the correct places where data is ready
  to be received

Its currently undergoing discussion upstream about exactly which pieces
are the correct fix but for now, this stops the segfaults OE is seeing
which has to be an improvement.
