Subject: [PATCH v2] lib/mpi: Fix kernel unaligned access in mpi_write_to_sgl


Commit 2d4d1eea540b ("lib/mpi: Add mpi sgl helpers") added
mpi_write_to_sgl() which generates traps due to unaligned
access on some platforms like sparc. Fix this by using
the get_unaligned* and put_unaligned* functions.

Sorry, but your patch doesn't apply against the current tree at all.
Please rebase it if it is still needed.

Thanks,

Hello,

I had based my patch off of net-next, which is where I do my work.

I'd be happy to rebase it on the "current tree",
but given that mpicoder.c does not have an entry in MAINTAINERS,
please clarify what you mean by "current tree" in this case.

do you mean

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git
or
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6.git
or
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

(which are the three possible candidates I can see in MAINTAINERS).

It would be nice to get this bug fixed, since the fix is fairly
obvious, and the nuisance factor from the generated "unaligned
access" messages on the impacted non-intel platforms is quite high,

thanks,
--Sowmini

Please base it on cryptodev.

Looks like this got fixed in cryptodev by commit cece762f6f3c
("lib/mpi: mpi_write_sgl(): fix out-of-bounds stack access")
