Well, we should be byteswapping all of the fields that need to be swapped, right? I'm guessing that userspace is expecting the fields to be in cpu endian, correct? But if you want, I'll gladly revert your patch, as I don't have a ppc box to test this out on. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
