This is repeated a few times in the driver so I added memset to quiet gcc and make behavior deterministic in case the unused fields get some meaning in the future.Yep, reserved certainly needs to be zeroed.. Can you send a patch? memset is overkill...quoted
However, in tpm_ibmvtpm_send the structure is initialized as struct ibmvtpm_crq crq; __be64 *word = (__be64 *)&crq; ... crq.valid = (u8)IBMVTPM_VALID_CMD; crq.msg = (u8)VTPM_TPM_COMMAND; crq.len = cpu_to_be16(count); crq.data = cpu_to_be32(ibmvtpm->rtce_dma_handle); and submitted with rc = ibmvtpm_send_crq(ibmvtpm->vdev, be64_to_cpu(word[0]), be64_to_cpu(word[1])); meaning it is swapped twice.No idea, Nayna may know. My guess is that '__be64 *word' should be 'u64 *word'... Jason
