[PATCH] net/ice: fix statistics read error

[Zhichao Zeng]

The statistics contain 40 bits. The lower 32 bits are read first, followed
by the upper 8 bits.

In some cases, after reading the lower 32 bits, a carry occurs from the
lower bits, which causes the final statistics to be incorrect.

This commit fixes this issue.

While I can't see multiple wrap-arounds occuring, it is theoretically
possible e.g. if a process gets context switched out. Therefore, I think
using a "while" construction would be better. For example:

	uint32_t lo_old, hi, lo;
	do {
		lo_old = ...
		hi = ...
		lo = ...
	} while (lo_old > lo);

> +	new_data = (uint64_t)lo;
> +	new_data |= (uint64_t)(hi & ICE_8_BIT_MASK) << ICE_32_BIT_WIDTH;
>  

Using "lo" rather than "lo2" here means we are returning data we know is
old. We should be returning the second value read. Suggest using something
like what I suggest above, where we make "lo" the second read rather than
the first.

[PATCH v2] net/ice: fix statistics read error

The statistics contain 40 bits. The lower 32 bits are read first, followed
by the upper 8 bits.

In some cases, after reading the lower 32 bits, a carry occurs from
the lower bits, which causes the final statistics to be incorrect.

This commit fixes this issue.

This part wasn't in v1, was it? It looks wrong to me, and the original code
looks correct. Given that offset and new_data should both be 40-bit
quantities, any wraparound would be at 40-bits rather than 32-bits no? Can
you explain why we would use a 32-bit shift here?

回复: [PATCH v2] net/ice: fix statistics read error

[Zeng, ZhichaoX]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3089 bytes --]

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for your comments and you're right.

My apologies―since this patch was submitted some time ago, I lost track of the context when sending v2 and made an incorrect modification. I'll remove the erroneous code.


Regards

Zhichao

[PATCH v3] net/ice: fix statistics read error

[Zhichao Zeng]

The statistics contain 40 bits. The lower 32 bits are read first, followed
by the upper 8 bits.

In some cases, after reading the lower 32 bits, a carry occurs from
the lower bits, which causes the final statistics to be incorrect.

This commit fixes this issue.
