      UAPI: fix endianness conditionals in linux/raid/md_p.h · ca044f9a
      David Howells 提交于
      In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be
      compared against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are
      exposed to userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals).
      
      However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for
      "defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)" rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and
      this has incorrectly leaked into the userspace headers.
      
      The definition of struct mdp_superblock_s in linux/raid/md_p.h is wrong in
      this way.  Note that userspace will likely interpret the ordering of the
      fields incorrectly as the big-endian variant on a little-endian machines -
      depending on header inclusion order.
      
      [!!!] NOTE [!!!]  This patch may adversely change the userspace API.  It might
      be better to fix the ordering of events_hi, events_lo, cp_events_hi and
      cp_events_lo in struct mdp_superblock_s / typedef mdp_super_t.
