Subject: Re: [PATCH] Remove VLAIS usage from JBD2 code
Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2012 10:53:07 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121108155307.GB766@thunk.org> (raw)

Hey Darrick,

I was looking at this code a bit more closely while applying the
revised version of this patch --- and this in particular raised a red
flag for me:

     *(u32 *)desc.ctx = crc;
     	   ...
     return *(u32 *)desc.ctx;

Does this raise any byte swapping issues?  Looking at how the crc32
code in crypto/ works, I'm almost certain this is broken on big-endian
systems, and we need to add le32_to_cup() and cpu_to_le32() calls here.

Am I missing something?
