This patch fixes several endianness issues detected when running the HVSI
driver in little endian mode.

These issues are raised in little endian mode because the data exchanged in
memory between the kernel and the hypervisor has to be in big endian
format.

It is generally best to byteswap constants.

Can you include the sparse output before and after?

cheers

Thanks David for your review.
Regarding the byte swapping of the constants, I'm wondering if this  the
best way here.
For instance, Benjamin wrote a similar patch to fix another endianness
issue (99fc1d91b8fc) and he doesn't convert the constant neither.
It think that byte swapping the constant value will impact more code,
and may not ease code reading.

Cheers,
Laurent.

Right, I disagree with byteswapping the constants at their definition
point, however maybe he meant using cpu_to_be16(CONSTANT) ?

In any case, it's pretty moot as we have the lhbrx instruction which
will do the load and byteswap and for HVSI, even if it was a tad slower
than a normal load, it would not make a noticeable difference.

Ben.

Hi Michael,

Here is the output message displayed on the console when the bug occurred:

[    0.000517] irq: (null) didn't like hwirq-0x1000a00 to VIRQ16 mapping
(rc=-22)
[    0.000578] hvsi_console_init: couldn't create irq mapping for 0x1000a00

With the patch is applied, the hvsi driver is initializing correctly and
no message is displayed, except the one saying the number of device the
hvsi driver has configured. For instance:
[    1.535783] HVSI: registered 1 devices

Cheers,
Laurent.

OK that's also good.

I was talking about the output from sparse endian checking, as the driver seems
to already be endian annotated.

ie, before:

And with your patch applied there are no warnings from hvsi.c!

So it seems you fixed all the issues, or at least all the issues we can detect
with sparse. So I'll merge this as-is with an updated changelog.

Unless Greg wants to merge it? But I'll assume he's not bothered unless he says
otherwise as it's a powerpc only driver.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
