Well I didn't mention it, as I said, because I don't think it needs backporting. Otherwise with the tag the tools might pick it up automatically? Just a guess.

Correct. That's what I meant that prior to 3.18 it's not needed. and 'insn_cnt - 1' condition will still hold for classic in the future. >> arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c | 6 ++++-- >> 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c b/arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c >> index 3f62734..7e90244 100644 >> --- a/arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c >> +++ b/arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c >> @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ static void jit_fill_hole(void *area, unsigned int >> size) >> } >> >> struct jit_context { >> - unsigned int cleanup_addr; /* epilogue code offset */ >> + int cleanup_addr; /* epilogue code offset */ > > > Why this type change here? This seems a bit out of context (I would > have expected a mention of this in the commit message, otherwise). Ok. Will respin with updated commit msg. The reason for signed is the following: jmp offset to epilogue is computed as: jmp_offset = ctx->cleanup_addr - addrs[i] when cleanup_addr was always last insn it wasn't a problem, since result of subtraction was positive. Now, since epilogue will be in the middle of JITed code the jmps to epilogue may be negative, so signed int is need to do the math correctly. In other words, it should be: (long long) ((int)20 - (int)30) instead of: (long long) ((unsigned int)20 - (int)30) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
