Yes, I agree that BE8 is a feature. But in the situation that CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 are turned on, this feature makes kernel go wrong. So I'm confused about whether BE8 is a fix or not? And as I mentioned in the last mail that commits a2ad9bef and 9f6bb0c2 in 3.10.61 seem trying to fix problems caused by BE8. So I think BE8 is a problem here. thanks, Sheng Yong > > Or am I somehow mistaken here? > > thanks, > > greg k-h > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
