Hello Benjamin Herrenschmidt, The patch ac171c46667c: "[PATCH] powerpc: Thermal control for dual core G5s" from Feb 8, 2006, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_smu_controls.c:83 smu_set_fan() warn: buffer overflow 'buffer' 16 <= 16 drivers/macintosh/windfarm_smu_controls.c 54 static int smu_set_fan(int pwm, u8 id, u16 value) 55 { 56 struct smu_cmd cmd; 57 u8 buffer[16]; ^^^^^^^^^^ 16 bytes. 58 DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(comp); 59 int rc; 60 61 /* Fill SMU command structure */ 62 cmd.cmd = SMU_CMD_FAN_COMMAND; 63 64 /* The SMU has an "old" and a "new" way of setting the fan speed 65 * Unfortunately, I found no reliable way to know which one works 66 * on a given machine model.
