Subject: byteorder: cpu_to_le32_array vs cpu_to_be32_array function API differences
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2019 12:02:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2acb30fb3c9a86ac8cc882fb787cd04e5864224b.camel@perches.com> (raw)

There's an argument inconsistency between these 4 functions
in include/linux/byteorder/generic.h

It'd be more a consistent API with one form and not two.

   static inline void le32_to_cpu_array(u32 *buf, unsigned int words)
   {
   	while (words--) {
   		__le32_to_cpus(buf);
   		buf++;
   	}
   }

   static inline void cpu_to_le32_array(u32 *buf, unsigned int words)
   {
   	while (words--) {
   		__cpu_to_le32s(buf);
   		buf++;
   	}
   }

vs

   static inline void cpu_to_be32_array(__be32 *dst, const u32 *src, size_t len)
   {
   	int i;

   	for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
   		dst[i] = cpu_to_be32(src[i]);
   }

   static inline void be32_to_cpu_array(u32 *dst, const __be32 *src, size_t len)
   {
   	int i;

   	for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
   		dst[i] = be32_to_cpu(src[i]);
   }

    byteorder: Move {cpu_to_be32, be32_to_cpu}_array() from Thunderbolt to core
    
    We will be using these when communicating XDomain discovery protocol
    over Thunderbolt link but they might be useful for other drivers as
    well.
    
    Make them available through byteorder/generic.h.

    crypto: Deduplicate le32_to_cpu_array() and cpu_to_le32_array()
    
    Deduplicate le32_to_cpu_array() and cpu_to_le32_array() by moving them
    to the generic header.
    
    No functional change implied.
