Subject: [PATCH] fuse: reserve byteswapped init opcodes
Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2019 08:36:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190904123607.10048-1-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
virtio fs tunnels fuse over a virtio channel. One issue is two sides
might be speaking different endian-ness. To detects this,
host side looks at the opcode value in the FUSE_INIT command.
Works fine at the moment but might fail if a future version
of fuse will use such an opcode for initialization.
Let's reserve this opcode so we remember and don't do this.
Same for CUSE_INIT.
