[ Upstream commit d55347bfe4e66dce2e1e7501e5492f4af3e315f8 ]
After 'lib: checksum: Use aligned accesses for ip_fast_csum and csum_ipv6_magic tests' was applied, the test_csum_ipv6_magic unit test started failing for all mips platforms, both little and bit endian. Oddly enough, adding debug code into test_csum_ipv6_magic() made the problem disappear.
The gcc manual says:
"The "memory" clobber tells the compiler that the assembly code performs memory reads or writes to items other than those listed in the input and output operands (for example, accessing the memory pointed to by one of the input parameters) "
This is definitely the case for csum_ipv6_magic(). Indeed, adding the 'memory' clobber fixes the problem.
