Hi Greg, Thanks for the response! It's always good to get notes on a patch. Some responses to your points: > Why __le32? Does this variable go across the user/kernel boundry > somehow? If not, just use le32. Good point, this should probably have been le32. > At first glance, you aren't doing ths same logic in this function as the > original did, please look at this very closely again and verify that you > are doing this correctly. > > Don't just blindly quiet tools like sparse, it is warning for a reason, > but be careful about your fix. On a second, closer look at the code I am not doing this correctly: the buffer I am converting to le32 needs to persist (which a local variable would not). On my first glance at this code I saw the same buffer being used for both little- and big-endian storage of the same data -- it's correct, but a little ugly. I am going to leave this code as is, since it was functioning properly before my patch.
