Subject: [RFC PATCH] rslib: Replace hard-coded 1 with alpha_to[0]
Comments for RFC:
Hello,
I found problems in rslib when I specify `gffunc' as myfunc(x) =
bswap_16(gffunc(x)). This patch fixes these problems, please refer to
commit message below for details. Since I'm not experienced with GF
fields, so I would like to invite people to review my patch.
If not using init_rs_non_canonical(), the change is trivial because
alpha_to[0] is always 1. So this patch should introduce no regression
and safe to merge.
The modifications to `test_rslib.c' are not intended to commit, just for
showing the idea and a small self-test. It will be removed if this patch
is going to be merged.
The reason I want to use this `gffunc' is because I'm going to implement
Reed-Solomon for BTRFS filesystem. As on-disk-format is little endian,
the code of file system must deal with little-endian reed solomon
symbols on big-endian machines. One possible approach is to do bswap_16
on every symbol when encoding/decoding, which is not very good. Another
approach is to bswap_16 the GF field, so no additional bswap_16 when
encoding/decoding is required. This will expose the above problem
because gffunc(0) is 0x0100 instead of 0x0001 in that field.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Zhang Boyang

Currently the rslib allows customizing the finite field by the `gffunc'
parameter of init_rs_non_canonical(). However, there are several places
in rslib use hard-coded 1 instead of alpha_to[0], leading errors if
gffunc(0) != 1. This patch fixes the problem. One of such `gffunc` might
be gffunc'(x) = bswap_16(gffunc(x)). This is useful to implement
foreign-endian RS coder for 16 bit symbols.
