[PATCH][BUG]ext3 multile block allocate little endian fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some places in ext3 multiple block allocation code (in 2.6.17-rc3) don't
handle the little endian well. This was resulting in *wrong* block
numbers being assigned to in-memory block variables and then stored on
disk eventually. The following patch has been verified to fix an ext3
filesystem failure when run ltp test on a 64 bit machine.
