Re: oskit-mach: device_write

[Daniel Wagner]

Sorry for being so unclear, I'm trying to be more specific.

I was referring to this (stolen from the mach docs):

kern_return_t device_write (device_t device, 
                            dev_mode_t mode, 
                            recnum_t recnum, 
                            io_buf_ptr_t data, 
                            mach_msg_type_number_t data_count, 
                            int *bytes_written)

The function device_write writes data_count bytes from the buffer data 
to device. The number of bytes actually written is returned in bytes_written. 

In order to trigger the bug again, I setted data_count to 4. bytes_written
return the value 18677512. But bytes_written does not match to size which
the driver returns:

Breakpoint 3, ds_device_write (dev=0xc107fc8, reply_port=0xc1226c4, 
    reply_port_type=18, mode=8, recnum=0, data=0xc114df4 "\003", count=4, 
    bytes_written=0xc2bf034) at ../../oskit-mach/oskit/ds_routines.c:695
695       if (dev == DEVICE_NULL)
(gdb) n
697       if (!(dev->mode & D_WRITE))
(gdb) 
699       if (! data)
(gdb) 
701       if (! dev->ops->write)
(gdb) 
703           if (!dev->ops->write_inband)
(gdb) 
713               kern_return_t kr = vm_map_copyout (device_io_map, &addr,
(gdb) 
715               if (kr != KERN_SUCCESS)
(gdb) 
719               kr = (*dev->ops->write_inband) (dev, reply_port,
(gdb) 
723               (void) vm_deallocate (device_io_map, addr, count);
(gdb) p bytes_written
$1 = (int *) 0xc2bf034
(gdb) p *bytes_written
$2 = 61
