Subject: [PATCH 1/4] [Patch-next] ACPI, APEI, ERST Fix the wrong checking of Serialization Header's length

header_length in struct acpi_table_erst is not the length of struct
acpi_table_erst, but the length of Serialization Header.

In erst_check_table(), header_length is used for checking the length
of struct acpi_table_erst. So I think it is wrong.

This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree.

Why "think"? Do you have a machine with header_length set as you said?

I don't think it is necessary to change the header definition, and
seri_header is not a good name for me.

I have such machine, and I confirmed that the header_length returned by firmware
is same as what I described in the above description.

And further more, according to the spec document of ACPI 4.0(page 515),
it is written like following.

Field Byte length Byte offset Description
Serialization Header Size 4 0x24 Length in bytes of
the serialization header.

Why I added this structure here is that I don't want to do following checking.
For example,
if (header_length != 0x0c) {
...
}

Though it is simple, it is really difficult for us to understand the real meaning
of the code.

This can be:

static int erst_check_table(struct acpi_table_erst *erst_tab)
{
- if (erst_tab->header_length != sizeof(struct acpi_table_erst))
+ if (erst_tab->header_length !=
+ (sizeof(struct acpi_table_erst) - sizeof(erst_tab->header)))

like Yinghai has been done.

Maybe you can help push this fix in, it seems that Yinghai is busy on
something else?

Hi, Yinghai,

Do you mind for Dongming to push this fix?
