Subject: [PATCH v5 00/27] Introduce little-endian bitops
Changelog:
* v5
- change the prototypes and casts in the macro to take any pointer types
- remove casts to "unsigned long *" due to le-bitops prototype change
- fix a bisection hole for kvm and rds on some architectures
- drop Acked-by lines from some patches that got enough changes
* v4
- change to the post-fix notation as suggested by Linus
(e.g. s/test_le_bit/test_bit_le/)
- introduce CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE
- fix m68knommu build
- fix inefficienct find_first_zero_le_bit()
* v3
- add Acked-by: lines
* v2
(cover letter for v2 was not delivered to any mailing lists I've CCed may be
due to Too many recipients to the message)
- fix argument of test_and_{set,clear}_le_bit() for s390, arm, m68k
- move ext2 bitops to fs/ext2/ext2.h, not include/linux/ext2_fs.h
- fix m68k minix bitops incorrect conversion noticed by Andreas Schwab
- rewrite minix bitops removal patch based on the suggestion by Arnd
This patch series introduces little-endian bit operations in asm/bitops.h
for all architectures and converts all ext2 non-atomic and minix bit
operations to use little-endian bit operations. It enables us to remove
ext2 non-atomic and minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h. The reason
they should be removed from asm/bitops.h is as follows:
For ext2 non-atomic bit operations, they are used for little-endian byte
order bitmap access by some filesystems and modules. But using ext2_*()
functions on a module other than ext2 filesystem makes some feel strange.
For minix bit operations, they are only used by minix filesystem and are
useless by other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmap is
different on each architecture.
The little-endian bitops patch series for this version is available in
the git branch at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mita/linux-2.6.git le-bitops-v5
