More strangely, the upper and lower 32-bit words are swapped. The bytes within each 32-bit word are swapped correctly. So the calculation maybe should be something like: __le32 *p = (__le32 *) &id[100 << 1]; u32 high32 = le32_to_cpup(p); u32 low32 = le32_to_cpup(p + 1); ssize = (((u64)high32 << 32) | (u64) low32); But that doesn't make any sense, and even ide_fix_driveid() in drivers/ide/ide-iops.c does a le64_to_cpu() for this value: id->lba_capacity_2 = __le64_to_cpu(id->lba_capacity_2); I wonder if this is some artifact of how AOE devices encode this field when sending it to the client. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
