+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #253000 +++

Description of problem:
The dmraid format handlers may need to byteswap on-disk data structures while
reading or writing. The nvidia handler accomplishes this by defining a to_cpu
function when built on these archs.

There is a typo in the current version of the code that causes a segfault when
probing devices:

static void to_cpu(void *meta)
{
        struct nv *nv = meta;
        unsigned int i = NV_SIGNATURES;
        struct nv_array_base *array = &nv->array;

        CVT32(nv->size);
        CVT32(nv->chksum);
        CVT16(nv->version);
        CVT32(nv->capacity);
        CVT32(nv->sectorSize);
        CVT32(nv->unitFlags);
        CVT32(array->version);

        while (i--); <--
                CVT32(array->signature[i]);

That semicolon causes us to exit the loop with i == 2^32 -1 and segfault
on the access to signatures[i], e.g:

(gdb) run -i -a y
Starting program: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/dmraid/1.0.0.rc14/tools/dmraid
-i -a y

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Attached patch has been tested successfully on s390x & submitted upstream.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dmraid-1.0.0.rc14

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dmraid -ay
  
Actual results:
# dmraid -ay
Segmentation Fault

Expected results:
# dmraid -ay
No RAID disks

Additional info:
Low impact on s390 since these don't typically have fakeraid hardware ;)

On PPC the problem is probably more important since these can use these types of
RAID card.
