------------------------------------------------------ From: Ilya Leoshkevich iii@linux.ibm.com Subject: lib/zlib: fix inflating zlib streams on s390
Decompressing zlib streams on s390 fails with "incorrect data check" error.
Userspace zlib checks inflate_state.flags in order to byteswap checksums only for zlib streams, and s390 hardware inflate code, which was ported from there, tries to match this behavior. At the same time, kernel zlib does not use inflate_state.flags, so it contains essentially random values. For many use cases either zlib stream is zeroed out or checksum is not used, so this problem is masked, but at least SquashFS is still affected.
Fix by always passing a checksum to and from the hardware as is, which matches zlib_inflate()'s expectations.
