FWIW, that got caught by sparse, but I would really recommend _testing_ on big-endian - getting an emulated headless e.g. mips box is fairly easy with qemu; I'd done that with debian big-endian mips userland on emulated malta and it didn't take much work to set up. Speaking of sparse, I think we simply ought to add -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ to CHECKFLAGS in top-level Makefile. It's not _that_ much noise these days... Not sure which tree should that go through, though... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
