I don't exactly understand what do u mean by "use the same type across all PMD code for consistency" - there are a lot of types used in the PMD code and __le64 is one of them... ;) Now more seriously, let's recall what is the semantics of the __leXX types - they represent the integer in the "little endian" format. Here, NIC expects the physical address in a little endian format, thus the descriptor is defined the way it is defined - using __le64. The same relates to dma_addr local variable in this patch - it contains the physical (more correctly "DMA-able") address of the Rx buffer in the form NIC expects it to be written in the descriptor. So, why to use __leXX anyway? - Debugging the (invalid) endianess is a real headache. Therefore there are a few static code analysis tools like "sparse" that allow to detect such inconsistencies (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse) and __leXX is a helper to allow tools like sparse to detect such problems. In addition after spending some time writing patches for Linux netdev list u develop a strong habit for such stuff - Dave and others are very strict about such things... ;) So, is it the same as uint64_t? I guess now it's clear why it is now... ;) >> } >> @@ -1559,13 +1559,14 @@ ixgbe_recv_scattered_pkts(void *rx_queue, struct >> rte_mbuf **rx_pkts, >> first_seg->ol_flags = pkt_flags; >> >> if (likely(pkt_flags & PKT_RX_RSS_HASH)) >> - first_seg->hash.rss = rxd.wb.lower.hi_dword.rss; >> + first_seg->hash.rss = >> + rte_le_to_cpu_32(rxd.wb.lower.hi_dword.rss); >> else if (pkt_flags & PKT_RX_FDIR) { >> first_seg->hash.fdir.hash = >> - (uint16_t)((rxd.wb.lower.hi_dword.csum_ip.csum) >> - & IXGBE_ATR_HASH_MASK); >> + rte_le_to_cpu_16(rxd.wb.lower.hi_dword.csum_ip.csum) >> + & IXGBE_ATR_HASH_MASK; >> first_seg->hash.fdir.id = >> - rxd.wb.lower.hi_dword.csum_ip.ip_id; >> + rte_le_to_cpu_16(rxd.wb.lower.hi_dword.csum_ip.ip_id); >> } >> >> /* Prefetch data of first segment, if configured to do so. */ >> -- >> 2.1.0
