virtio-user cannot work on 32-bit system as higher 32-bit of the addr field (64-bit) in the desc is filled with non-zero value which should not happen for a 32-bit system.
This is a regression bug. For 32-bit system, the first 4 bytes is the virtual address, with following 8 bytes pointing to physical addr. With below wrong definition, both virtual address and lower 4 bytes of physical addr are obtained. #define VIRTIO_MBUF_ADDR(mb, vq) \ (*(uint64_t *)((uintptr_t)(mb) + (vq)->offset)) Fixes: 25f80d108780 ("net/virtio: fix packet corruption") Cc: sta...@dpdk.org Signed-off-by: Jianfeng Tan <jianfeng....@intel.com> --- drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.h | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.h b/drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.h index f9e3736..f43ea70 100644 --- a/drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.h +++ b/drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.h @@ -72,7 +72,8 @@ struct rte_mbuf; * Return the physical address (or virtual address in case of * virtio-user) of mbuf data buffer. */ -#define VIRTIO_MBUF_ADDR(mb, vq) (*(uint64_t *)((uintptr_t)(mb) + (vq)->offset)) +#define VIRTIO_MBUF_ADDR(mb, vq) \ + ((uint64_t)((uintptr_t)(*(void **)((uintptr_t)(mb) + (vq)->offset)))) #else #define VIRTIO_MBUF_ADDR(mb, vq) ((mb)->buf_physaddr) #endif -- 2.7.4
