Subject: [PATCH] staging: sm750fb: fix mono image source stride mismatch in
lynxfb_ops_imageblit()

sm750_hw_imageblit() advances its monochrome source pointer by src_delta per scanline, and computes the correct rounded-up stride internally as:

        bytes_per_scan = (width + start_bit + 7) / 8;

Its only caller, lynxfb_ops_imageblit(), instead passed src_delta as image->width >> 3. For widths not a multiple of 8 this under-counted the stride, so the source pointer fell further behind the real per-scanline layout on every line, corrupting the rendered image.

Rather than just fixing the caller's calculation, remove src_delta as a parameter entirely and have sm750_hw_imageblit() advance by the bytes_per_scan it already computes for itself. There has only ever been one caller, and that caller was passing an out-of-sync derivative of the same width/start_bit values sm750_hw_imageblit() already has, so keeping stride as a separate parameter served no purpose beyond letting the two calculations drift apart, which is exactly what happened here.

Rounding up, rather than down, is the direction consistent with the rest of the fbdev core: struct fb_image mono bitmap data (the same image->data this driver receives) is walked elsewhere with byte strides derived from a ceiling division of width by 8. The generic mono bit iterator in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_imageblit.h advances scanlines with "iter->data += BITS_TO_BYTES(iter->width)", and BITS_TO_BYTES() (include/linux/bitops.h) is a ceiling division. sm750_hw_imageblit()'s own "(width + start_bit + 7) / 8" is that same ceiling division with an added start_bit offset, so the caller's ">> 3" (floor) was the one calculation out of step with how this data layout is handled everywhere else.

Found by code review of sm750_hw_imageblit()'s internal stride calculation against what its only caller was passing in, and confirmed with a clean -Werror build. I do not have this hardware, so this has not been exercised at runtime on real sm750 silicon.

PATCH 1/1 staging: sm750fb: fix mono image source stride mismatch in lynxfb_ops_imageblit()

From: Muhammad Bilal <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit cc7cd2a9228175c975f62ad56ed7c767701cb4fa ]

sm750_hw_imageblit() advances its monochrome source pointer by src_delta per scanline, and computes the correct rounded-up stride internally as:

        bytes_per_scan = (width + start_bit + 7) / 8;

Its only caller, lynxfb_ops_imageblit(), instead passed src_delta as image->width >> 3. For widths not a multiple of 8 this under-counted the stride, so the source pointer fell further behind the real per-scanline layout on every line, corrupting the rendered image.

Rather than just fixing the caller's calculation, remove src_delta as a parameter entirely and have sm750_hw_imageblit() advance by the bytes_per_scan it already computes for itself. There has only ever been one caller, and that caller was passing an out-of-sync derivative of the same width/start_bit values sm750_hw_imageblit() already has, so keeping stride as a separate parameter served no purpose beyond letting the two calculations drift apart, which is exactly what happened here.

Rounding up, rather than down, is the direction consistent with the rest of the fbdev core: struct fb_image mono bitmap data (the same image->data this driver receives) is walked elsewhere with byte strides derived from a ceiling division of width by 8. The generic mono bit iterator in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_imageblit.h advances scanlines with "iter->data += BITS_TO_BYTES(iter->width)", and BITS_TO_BYTES() (include/linux/bitops.h) is a ceiling division. sm750_hw_imageblit()'s own "(width + start_bit + 7) / 8" is that same ceiling division with an added start_bit offset, so the caller's ">> 3" (floor) was the one calculation out of step with how this data layout is handled everywhere else.
