David Laight suggested to use get_unaligned_be32, I am not sure if it's
the right thing to do because as far as I understand get_unaligned_be32
byteshifts the argument.

Can someone please confirm if this change is okay?

It is not needed. variable dhcph->cookie is 4-byte aligned. Usind the unaligned 
version would just add cpu cycles and arrivw at the same point!

This assignment looks dubious at best - WTF is (size_t) for?
I don't seem to have a source tree with this driver in it (probably only in 'next'?).
I suspect it should be:
	struct dhcp_message *dhcph = (void *)(udph + 1);

It rather depends on whether the input buffer is aligned.
Although if it might not be then then the structure(s) that map
it need to be marked 'packed'.
Which would also mean the get_unaligned_be32() isn't the correct
way to handle a misaligned buffer.

Those are equivalent.  Either way works.

size_t isn't guaranteed to be large enough to hold a pointer.

csum_ipv6_magic and csum_partial expect int len not __be16, use

dhcp->flags is be16, so change its type to that.
Change htons() to cpu_to_be16() for clarity.

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- This looks like a new version of a previously submitted patch, but you
  did not list below the --- line any changes from the previous version.
  Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the
  kernel file, Documentation/SubmittingPatches for what needs to be done
  here to properly describe this.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot
