Adapter requires ip value in big endian stored at lower 32 bit

address.

quoted

The cpu_to_be64 will swap the lower 32 bit with higher 32 bit and

adapter

quoted

Will get incorrect ip addr. Instead u can do.

      U32 *ip_addr;
      ip_addr = (u32 *)&req.words[1];
      *ip_addr = ip;

1.  It looks incomplete.
    In the function call "netxen_send_cmd_descs" we have to pass "&req"
as
   2nd argument  not  "ipaddr".

 I should have sent a patch. This piece of code was just to show how to
copy ip addr in  req.words[1].

2. Your above suggestion is with assumption that the data type of 2nd
argument "ip"
     in "netxen_config_ipaddr()" is still "u32".  This is not true.

     Some days back you suggested to change the data type to "__be32".
 In the present patch
     the "ip"  is in "__be32" format i.e already in Big endian format
as per requirement.
     We need to only convert this 32 bit to 64 bit.  There are two
ways:

 No I did not assume that ip is u32, ip is still __be32(ip value is in form of big endian)
 though I should have mentioned it explicitly. But the ip value should be copied to lower 32 bit of req.words[1].
 
    

     a.   *(__be64 *)&req.words[1] = ip;   // auto conversion

In big endian machine MSB is copied into MSB first. So ip will get copied into higher 32 bit of
req.words[1] but adapter requires it in lower 32 bit. 

     b.   *(__be64 *)&req.words[1] = cpu_to_be64(be32_to_cpu(ip));
            // explicit conversion.

If you follow second cpu_to_be64 it will swap lower 32 bit of ip with higher 32 bit in little endian machine.
But adapter requires it in lower 32 bit.

Simple solution to copy ip in req.words[1] could be memcpy(&req.words[1], &ip, sizeof(u32));

 

 Please correct me if I am wrong.

Santosh
