Actually, it's rw_bitmaps.c, and I don't want to do this because this is part of the cleanups where I am trying to localize code that knows about the in-memory encoding of bitmaps. It turns out the need for this was only in the very first ports of Linux to the Powerpc, and there haven't been kernels that would mount big-endian superblocks since, oh, 1998 or so (in the 2.0 days). So probably the better fix is one where we don't allow big-endian filesystems any more. On all modern systems, we use little-endian encoding of the superblock, and the bitmaps don't need byte-swapping. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
