I was totally thrilled to see this. Because of reiserfs, I need to
compile my own kernel, so I grabbed the patches a couple of weeks
ago. I just had time to look at them and it seems that parameters.h
has changed a *lot* since this patch was made.
>From BenH's latest kernel:
typedef union {
char *c;
__u32 i;
__u32 *ip;
} irda_pv_t;
from the patch:
+#if defined(__BIG_ENDIAN) /* TODO: not 64bit safe (when casting __u32 to
ptr) */
typedef union {
char *c;
- __u8 b;
- __u16 s;
+ struct {
+ __u8 mm,ml,lm,ll; /* most to least significant */
+ } b;
+ struct {
+ __u16 m,l; /* most to least significant */
+ } s;
__u32 i;
__u8 *bp;
__u16 *sp;
__u32 *ip;
} irda_pv_t;
+#elif defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN) /* TODO: not 64bit safe */
+typedef union {
+ char *c;
+ struct {
+ __u8 ll,lm,ml,mm; /* least to most significant */
+ } b;
+ struct {
+ __u16 l,m; /* least to most significant */
+ } s;
+ __u32 i;
+ __u8 *bp;
+ __u16 *sp;
+ __u32 *ip;
+} irda_pv_t;
+#else
+#error "unknown endianness"
+#endif
So it looks like the irda_pv_t has lost the *sp,*bp,s, and b fields
since the patch was made. Since the primary change of the patch is to
make the b and s fields into structs, I don't really have a clue how
to procede.
Can someone suggest anything?
Thanks,
jas.
