Revision b811ce9104a7f7663ddae4f7795a194a103b8f90 authored by Jesse Brandeburg on 20 September 2011, 15:13:03 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 21 September 2011, 06:14:13 UTC
It seems that at least one PPC machine would occasionally give a (valid) 0 as the return value from dma_map, this caused the ixgbe code to not work correctly. A fix is pending in the PPC tree to not return 0 from dma map, but we can also fix the driver to make sure we don't mess up in other arches as well. This patch is applicable to all current stable kernels.
