It doesn't make sense to clobber the const driver-side buffer, if a write-to-device attempt failed. All other SSB variants (PCI, PCMCIA and SoC) also don't corrupt the buffer on any failure in block_write. Therefore, remove this memset from the SDIO variant. Signed-off-by: Michael Büsch Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- This memset has been introduced by the original patch that added SDIO support to SSB: 24ea602e183ca Better late than never. This change is only build tested, because I don't own the hardware. But to me this change looks reasonable. diff --git a/drivers/ssb/sdio.c b/drivers/ssb/sdio.c index 7fe0afb42234..66c5c2169704 100644 --- a/drivers/ssb/sdio.c +++ b/drivers/ssb/sdio.c @@ -411,7 +411,6 @@ static void ssb_sdio_block_write(struct ssb_device *dev, const void *buffer, sdio_claim_host(bus->host_sdio); if (unlikely(ssb_sdio_switch_core(bus, dev))) { error = -EIO; - memset((void *)buffer, 0xff, count); goto err_out; } offset |= bus->sdio_sbaddr & 0xffff; -- Michael
