From f8ab18d2d987a59ccbf0495032b2aef05b730037 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 15:18:35 -0700 Subject: [TCP]: Fix MD5 signature handling on big-endian. Based upon a report and initial patch by Peter Lieven. tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key need to start with the exact same members as tcp_md5sig_key. Because they are both cast to that type by tcp_v{4,6}_md5_do_lookup(). Unfortunately tcp{4,6}_md5sig_key use a u16 for the key length instead of a u8, which is what tcp_md5sig_key uses. This just so happens to work by accident on little-endian, but on big-endian it doesn't. Instead of casting, just place tcp_md5sig_key as the first member of the address-family specific structures, adjust the access sites, and kill off the ugly casts. Signed-off-by: David S.
