As noted by Matthew Wilcox:
Kyle McMartin just tracked down a bug on parisc to a missing
"memory" clobber in the inline assembly implementation of
ip_fast_csum. The FRV, SH and Xtensa ports are also missing a
memory clobber, so I thought it would be polite to let you know.
The bug manifests as dropped network packets (obviously they have
the wrong checksum). It started appearing for parisc with GCC 4.3.
The GCC manual says:
If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable
fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This
will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers
across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads
to that memory.
I see that FRV has a 400 byte memory output which may prevent this
problem from appearing, but SH and Xtensa have nothing to prevent
this bug. Hope this saves you a few days of debugging.
