From ca044f9a9ed492f0f7e52df999c10ca6f7cfc5c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:59:47 -0700 Subject: UAPI: fix endianness conditionals in linux/raid/md_p.h In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be compared against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are exposed to userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals). However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for "defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)" rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and this has incorrectly leaked into the userspace headers. The definition of struct mdp_superblock_s in linux/raid/md_p.h is wrong in this way. Note that userspace will likely interpret the ordering of the fields incorrectly as the big-endian variant on a little-endian machines - depending on header inclusion order. [!!!] NOTE [!!!] This patch may adversely change the userspace API. It might be better to fix the ordering of events_hi, events_lo, cp_events_hi and cp_events_lo in struct mdp_superblock_s / typedef mdp_super_t.
