Bug fix for ARM driver

Post by MisterDave »

When looking at the ARM driver recently I believe that I have identified a bug in the function snd_sh4_to_aica(...) within the file snd_iface.c which is causing incorrect data to be sent from the ARM back to the SH4 through the response queue.

The problem that I found was due to the bottom of the queue's data buffer being miscalculated to be the start of the q_resp aica_queue_t structure rather than just after it (as is the case with the q_cmd queue). The fixed code is below in which I have kept the naming convention of the introduced 'qa' variable as is the case in snd_sh4_to_aica(...)

Hope this of some use.

Code: Select all

    uint32  bot, start, stop, top, size, cnt, *pkt32;

    sem_wait(&sem_qram);

    /* Set these up for reference */
    bot = SPU_RAM_BASE + AICA_MEM_RESP_QUEUE;
    assert_msg(g2_read_32(bot + offsetof(aica_queue_t, valid)), "Queue is not yet valid");

    top = SPU_RAM_BASE + AICA_MEM_RESP_QUEUE + g2_read_32(bot + offsetof(aica_queue_t, size));
    start = SPU_RAM_BASE + AICA_MEM_RESP_QUEUE + g2_read_32(bot + offsetof(aica_queue_t, tail));
    stop = SPU_RAM_BASE + AICA_MEM_RESP_QUEUE + g2_read_32(bot + offsetof(aica_queue_t, head));
becomes:

Code: Select all

    uint32  qa, bot, start, stop, top, size, cnt, *pkt32;

    sem_wait(&sem_qram);

    /* Set these up for reference */
    qa = SPU_RAM_BASE + AICA_MEM_RESP_QUEUE;
    assert_msg(g2_read_32(qa + offsetof(aica_queue_t, valid)), "Queue is not yet valid");
    
    bot = SPU_RAM_BASE + g2_read_32(qa + offsetof(aica_queue_t, data));
    top = bot + g2_read_32(qa + offsetof(aica_queue_t, size));
    start = bot + g2_read_32(qa + offsetof(aica_queue_t, tail));
    stop = bot + g2_read_32(qa + offsetof(aica_queue_t, head));  

Code: Select all

    if(stop > top)
        stop -= top - (SPU_RAM_BASE + AICA_MEM_RESP_QUEUE);   
becomes:

Code: Select all

    if(stop > top)
        stop -= top - bot;

Code: Select all

    /* Finally, write a new tail value to signify that we've removed a packet */
    g2_write_32(bot + offsetof(aica_queue_t, tail), start - (SPU_RAM_BASE + AICA_MEM_RESP_QUEUE));    
becomes:

Code: Select all

    /* Finally, write a new tail value to signify that we've removed a packet */    
    g2_write_32(qa + offsetof(aica_queue_t, tail), start - bot);
