This pretty much defeats sparse endian checking. You will get warnings
regardless of whether u32 or le32 are used.
One solution is to fork vfs_cap_data into __le* variant outside of
__KERNEL__ and u* variant internal to kernel (obviously inside
__KERNEL__). Then convert_to_le(), takes 2 arguments:
struct vfs_cap_data_core * and struct vfs_cap_data *. check_cap_sanity()
operates on core structure, et al.
As a side effect you can do interesting things with core structure
later.
Here is one part of GFS2 endian annotations I'm currently doing (still
not finally ready) which should demonstrate all I've said. Note that
after this patch in-core part of GFS2 rindex can lose all padding
on-disk version has.
