Hi Finn,
> This fixes an old bug recently revealed by CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR.
Good catch. I'm not sure about the fix though. That variable ('addr')
should be a ethernet hardware address; I'm surprised we're accessing
past the 6th byte. The culprit seems to be this, where 'ea' is the
address buffer:
static void
bmac_get_station_address(struct net_device *dev, unsigned char *ea)
{
int i;
unsigned short data;
for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
reset_and_select_srom(dev);
data = read_srom(dev, i + EnetAddressOffset/2,
SROMAddressBits);
ea[2*i] = bitrev8(data & 0x0ff);
ea[2*i+1] = bitrev8((data >> 8) & 0x0ff);
}
}
- where it looks like the condition on that for-loop is wrong; we're
reading two bytes at a time there.
Can you try the attached patch?
Ben/Paul - any thoughts?
Cheers,
Jeremy

Subject: [PATCH] net: bmac: Fix read of MAC address from ROM
In bmac_get_station_address, We're reading two bytes at a time from ROM,
but we do that six times, resulting in 12 bytes of read & writes. This
means we will write off the end of the six-byte destination buffer.
This change fixes the for-loop to only read/write six bytes.
Based on a proposed fix from Finn Thain .
