From 2fac9717a05fc4b4824422d2c439c1260807c110 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Reinette Chatre Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:24:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: fix debugfs buffer handling We keep track of where to write into a buffer by keeping a count of how much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far. Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has been written at that time. Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the "hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has been added since beginning of buffer. Issue was discovered and discussed during testing of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464598 .
