Otherwise this is very dangerous. Also note that the on-disk layout of this struct in e2fsprogs is a bit incorrect - it has the above 3 __u16, but then immediately __u32 bg_reserved so those fields are padded incorrectly. I think it isn't a fatal problem, just something to be aware of and fix. > +#define EXT4_READ_SPLIT_LE32(__sb, __field) \ > + ((__u32)le16_to_cpu(__field) + \ > + (EXT4_HAS_INCOMPAT_FEATURE((__sb), EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT) ? \ > + (__u32)le16_to_cpu(__field##_hi) << 16 : 0)) Is it better to make this INCOMPAT_64BIT or s_desc_size? Does INCOMPAT_64BIT always imply s_desc_size > 32? Hmm, I guess it does, or we have no place to store the _hi part of the block addresses for a group.
