[PATCH] RDMA/ionic: Replace cpu_to_be64 + le64_to_cpu with swab64
Posted by Thorsten Blum 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Replace cpu_to_be64(le64_to_cpu()) with swab64() to simplify
ionic_prep_reg().  No functional changes.

This doesn't make any sense to me. The original code looks wrong and
would fail sparse, switching to swab just highlights how nonsense it
is, there is no way that is right on BE and LE.

Pensando guys what is the right thing to do here??

The original code does not have sparse failure. ionic_pgtbl_dma() is 
returning __le64, which is what swapped to __be64 for 
wqe->reg_me.dma_addr. However the proposed fix is definitely going to 
throw sparse warning.

Thanks,
Abhijit

Okay, so Throsten, please don't send patches for changing to swab.

If you want to improve it then the primitive should be

 le64_to_be64(x)

(and maybe vice versa) With proper sparse annotations.

Yeah sorry, I didn't know about the sparse warnings before.

le64_to_be64() or a similar helper doesn't seem to exist.

Thanks,

You can add it.
