This fixes several problems with the lparcfg code. In case someone gets a sense of deja-vu, part of this was submitted last Sep, I thought the changes went in, but either got backed out, or just got lost. First, change the local_buffer declaration to be unsigned char *. We had a bad-math problem in a 2.4 tree which was built with a "-fsigned-char" parm. I dont believe we ever build with that parm now-a-days, but to be safe, I'd prefer the declaration be explicit. Second, fix a bad math calculation for splpar_strlen. Third, on the rtas_call for get-system-parameter, pass in RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE for the rtas_data_buf size, instead of letting random data determine the size. Until recently, we've had a sufficiently large 'random data' value get passed in, so the function just happens to have worked OK. Now it's getting passed a '0', which causes the rtas_call to return success, but no data shows up in the buffer. (oops!). This was found by the LTC test org. This is in a branch of code that only gets run on SPLPAR systems. Tested on power5 Lpar. Signed-off-by: Will Schmidt <willschm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> |
