| |
2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@gmail.com>
commit a18d89ca026140eb8ac4459bf70a01c571dd9a32 upstream.
nouveau_bo_wr32 expects offset to be in words, but we pass value in bytes, so after commit 73412c3854c877e5f37ad944ee8977addde4d35a ("drm/nouveau: allocate kernel's notifier object at end of block") we started to overwrite some memory after notifier buffer object (previously m2mf_ntfy was always 0, so it didn't matter it was a value in bytes).
