Subject: [PATCH rdma-next] RDMA/erdma: restrict the driver to little-endian systems
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 11:48:56 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806-missing-endianness-conversion-for-64-v1-1-896327c1aff1@nvidia.com> (raw)
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>
The eRDMA device interface requires explicit byte ordering, but several
DMA-visible values that should be little-endian remain native-endian.
Command request payloads are copied verbatim, data-path SQE headers are
written without cpu_to_le64(), and kernel doorbell records are assigned
plain u64 values. The command completion path also reads a little-endian
SQE header without conversion.
These paths are byte-swapped on big-endian kernels and can break command
processing during probe. Since complete big-endian support requires
converting every device-visible structure, depend on !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN.
Fixes: ca7fd6cff3b8 ("RDMA/erdma: Add driver to kernel build environment")
