What if you are on a big-endian machine with a big-endian kernel and
userspace? Everything on-disk should be little-endian, so if you are
going to write stuff you got from userspace to disk, at some point you
have to make sure you are writing out bytes in the right order.
Alex already does that, so my remarks are moot ;)
+ root_item->stime.sec = cpu_to_le64(sa->stime.tv_sec);
+ root_item->stime.nsec = cpu_to_le64(sa->stime.tv_nsec);
+ root_item->rtime.sec = cpu_to_le64(sa->rtime.tv_sec);
+ root_item->rtime.nsec = cpu_to_le64(sa->rtime.tv_nsec);
Thanks,
