Shirish - below is a patch to fix a sparse warning in the cifsacl code. The change around line 458 is cosmetic (doesn't look like the original code caused a problem but at least this quiets sparse) but doesn't sid_authusers have an endian error. How far back does this bug go - does it affect much? diff --git a/fs/cifs/cifsacl.c b/fs/cifs/cifsacl.c index 076b69c..5f02b4e 100644 --- a/fs/cifs/cifsacl.c +++ b/fs/cifs/cifsacl.c @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ static const struct cifs_sid sid_everyone = { 1, 1, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {0} }; /* security id for Authenticated Users system group */ static const struct cifs_sid sid_authusers = { - 1, 1, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5}, {11} }; + 1, 1, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5}, {cpu_to_le32(11)} }; /* group users */ static const struct cifs_sid sid_user = {1, 2 , {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5}, {} }; @@ -458,7 +458,8 @@ int compare_sids(const struct cifs_sid *ctsid, const struct cifs_sid *cwsid) if (num_subauth) { for (i = 0; i < num_subauth; ++i) { if (ctsid->sub_auth[i] != cwsid->sub_auth[i]) { - if (ctsid->sub_auth[i] > cwsid->sub_auth[i]) + if (le32_to_cpu(ctsid->sub_auth[i]) > + le32_to_cpu(cwsid->sub_auth[i])) return 1; else return -1; -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
