Good catch, Lianbo.
It seems that in the kenrnel, le16_to_cpu in get_unaligned_le16 does
bswap_16 on a big-endian machine, probably we need to add something like
#if __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
return bswap_16(value);
#else
return value;
#endif
Is it possible to test on a big-endian machine?
Sure. The macro '#if __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN' takes effect on a big-endian machine. But it requires to include the header file 'byteswap.h' as below:
#include <byteswap.h>
In addition, there is a similar implementation, but I haven't tested it with Yulong's case. Can you help to check if this can work well for you? Yulong.
static inline uint16_t
get_unaligned_le16 (const uint8_t *p)
{
return p[0] | p[1] << 8;
}
Thank
