The patch titled
kernel: add common endian load/store API
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kernel-add-common-endian-load-store-api.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kernel: add common endian load/store API
From: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@xxxxxxxxx>
Add the following API for the 6 endian types in the kernel __le16,__le32,
__le64, __be16, __be32, __be64:
u16 load_le16(const __le16 *p)
u16 load_le16_noalign(const __le16 *p)
void store_le16(__le16 *p, u16 val)
void store_le16_noalign(__le16 *p, u16 val)
get/put_unaligned are being replaced because get/put in the kernel usually
implies some kind of reference is being taken/released, which is not the
case here. They work with void * pointers which defeats sparse checking.
Also, put_unaligned takes its arguments in the opposite order from what is
expected. The new names are chosen to allow the APIs to live in parallel
without breaking compilation. The get/put_unaligned API can be removed
once all users are converted.
load_le16 is a synonym for the existing le16_to_cpup and is added to be
symmetric with the load_le16_noalign API. On arches where unaligned
access is OK, the unaligned calls are replaced with aligned calls. This
name is also shorter than le16_to_cpup which will hopefully encourage its
use as it is generally faster than dereferencing the pointer and using
le16_to_cpu. The only case where this does not hold is when taking the
address of a stack variable, as the work to get the stack variable address
generally outweighs just using le16_to_cpu directly.
store_le16 is a new API and is added to be symmetric with the unaligned
functions. It is implemented as a macro to allow compile-time
byteswapping when the value is a constant. This will also allow use in
many places currently that are of the form:
*(__le16 *)ptr = cpu_to_le16(foo);
In addition, some drivers/filesystems/arches already provide this API
privately, which will allow them to be consolidated into this common code.
