Hi all,

We see io-uring failures on the parisc architecture with this testcase:
https://github.com/axboe/liburing/blob/master/examples/io_uring-test.c

parisc is always big-endian 32-bit userspace, with either 32- or 64-bit kernel.

On a 64-bit kernel (6.1.11):
deller@parisc:~$ ./io_uring-test test.file
ret=0, wanted 4096
Submitted=4, completed=1, bytes=0
-> failure

strace shows:

Running the same testcase on a 32-bit kernel (6.1.11) works:
root@debian:~# ./io_uring-test test.file
Submitted=4, completed=4, bytes=16384
-> ok.

I'm happy to test any patch if someone has an idea....

No idea what this could be, to be honest. I tried your qemu vm image,
and it does boot, but it's missing keys to be able to update apt and
install packages... After fiddling with this for 30 min I gave up, any
chance you can update the sid image? Given how slow this thing is
running, it'd take me all day to do a fresh install and I have to admit
I'm not THAT motivated about parisc to do that :)

Yes, I will update that image, but qemu currently only supports a 32-bit PA-RISC
CPU which can only run the 32-bit kernel. So even if I update it, you won't be
able to reproduce it, as it only happens with the 64-bit kernel.
I'm sure it's some kind of missing 32-to-64bit translation in the kernel, which
triggers only big-endian machines.

Does powerpc with a 64-bit ppc64 kernel work?
I'd assume it will show the same issue.

I will try to add some printks and compare the output of 32- and 64-bit kernels.
If you have some suggestion where to add such (which?) debug code, it would help me a lot.

Thank you,
Helge
