[PATCH] parisc: Fix ip_fast_csum
From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Sat Feb 10 2024 - 12:55:39 EST
IP checksum unit tests report the following error when run on hppa/hppa64.
# test_ip_fast_csum: ASSERTION FAILED at lib/checksum_kunit.c:463
Expected ( u64)csum_result == ( u64)expected, but
( u64)csum_result == 33754 (0x83da)
( u64)expected == 10946 (0x2ac2)
not ok 4 test_ip_fast_csum
0x83da is the expected result if the IP header length is 20 bytes. 0x2ac2
is the expected result if the IP header length is 24 bytes. The test fails
with an IP header length of 24 bytes. It appears that ip_fast_csum()
always returns the checksum for a 20-byte header, no matter how long
the header actually is.
Code analysis shows a suspicious assembler sequence in ip_fast_csum().
" addc %0, %3, %0\n"
"1: ldws,ma 4(%1), %3\n"
" addib,< 0, %2, 1b\n" <---
While my understanding of HPPA assembler is limited, it does not seem
to make much sense to subtract 0 from a register and to expect the result
to ever be negative. Subtracting 1 from the length parameter makes more
sense. On top of that, the operation should be repeated if and only if
the result is still > 0, so change the suspicious instruction to
" addib,> -1, %2, 1b\n"
The IP checksum unit test passes after this change.

Prerequisite for this patch is
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240207-fix_sparse_errors_checksum_tests-v6-0-4caa9629705b@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
No idea how that was not detected before. Maybe I am missing something.
Note that test_csum_ipv6_magic still fails on 32-bit parisc systems
after this patch has been applied. That is a different problem.
