According to Table 15-14 of the C2000 EDS (Intel doc #510524) the rx data pointed to by the descriptor dptr contains the byte count. desc->rxbytes reports all bytes read on the wire, including the "byte count" byte. So if a device sends 4 bytes in response to a block read, on the wire and in the DMA buffer we see: count data1 data2 data3 data4 0x04 0xde 0xad 0xbe 0xef That's what we want to return in data->block to the next level. Instead we were actually prefixing that with desc->rxbytes: bad count count data1 data2 data3 data4 0x05 0x04 0xde 0xad 0xbe 0xef This was discovered while developing a BMC solution relying on the ipmi_ssif.c driver which was trying to interpret the bogus length field as part of the IPMI response.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
