[PATCH kvmtool] kvmtool: virtio: fix endian for big endian hosts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When running on a big endian host, the virtio mmio-modern.c correctly
sets all reads to return little endian values. However the header uses
a 4 byte char for the magic value, which is always going to be in the
correct endian regardless of host endian.

To make the simplest change, simply avoid endian convresion of the
read of the magic value. This fixes the following bug from the guest:

[    0.592838] virtio-mmio 10020000.virtio: Wrong magic value 0x76697274!
