From 274cef5e9d0e494ad84dbc28513b0bb6e3d847ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 18:01:42 +0200 Subject: [POWERPC] spufs: fix another off-by-one bug in spufs_mbox_read Currently, spufs_mbox_read transfers more bytes than requested on a read. If you ask for four bytes, you get eight. This fixes it to transfer the largest multiple of four bytes that is less than or equal to the number you asked for. Note: one nasty property of this file in spufs is that you can only read multiples of four bytes in the first place, since there is no way to atomically put back a few bytes into the hardware register. Thus, reading less than four bytes returns -EINVAL. Asking for more than four returns the largest possible multiple of four.
