This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ceph: fix bogus endianness change in ceph_ioctl_set_layout to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ceph-fix-bogus-endianness-change-in-ceph_ioctl_set_layout.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 19 15:04:02 CEST 2017 From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:42:40 -0500 Subject: ceph: fix bogus endianness change in ceph_ioctl_set_layout From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 24c149ad6914d349d8b64749f20f3f8ea5031fe0 ] sparse says: fs/ceph/ioctl.c:100:28: warning: cast to restricted __le64 preferred_osd is a __s64 so we don't need to do any conversion. Also, just remove the cast in ceph_ioctl_get_layout as it's not needed.
