[Note, this is existing code I wrote that Abel is just moving to a new file.] It doesn't write to the input array, if that is what you are asking. I was thinking of this as one byte swap cancelling out another. But sure, the comment could be simplified to something like the following: /* The SCM call requires that the key words be byte-swapped. */ > How come you memcpy + swap in place, instead of loop over the words and > cpu_to_be32() them into a __be words[] array? > > > + */ > > + for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(key.words); i++) > > + __cpu_to_be32s(&key.words[i]); With this approach there is no need to worry about unaligned memory accesses. It could be done with unaligned memory accesses, though, if you prefer that: union { [...] __be32 words[...]; } key; [...] key.words[i] = cpu_to_be32(get_unaligned((__u32 *)crypto_key + i)); - Eric
