From: Franz Sirl current bk 2.6.0 corrupts my ext3 filesystems, usually in the RESYNC dir during a bk pull. Checking the recent changes I noticed that the one in fs/ext3/namei.c misses an endian conversion. The attached patch fixes that and works fine for me since 2 days now on PPC. fs/ext3/namei.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN fs/ext3/namei.c~htree-big-endian-fix fs/ext3/namei.c --- 25/fs/ext3/namei.c~htree-big-endian-fix 2003-08-26 11:36:07.000000000 -0700 +++ 25-akpm/fs/ext3/namei.c 2003-08-26 11:36:07.000000000 -0700 @@ -1306,7 +1306,7 @@ static int make_indexed_dir(handle_t *ha /* The 0th block becomes the root, move the dirents out */ fde = &root->dotdot; - de = (struct ext3_dir_entry_2 *)((char *)fde + fde->rec_len); + de = (struct ext3_dir_entry_2 *)((char *)fde + le16_to_cpu(fde->rec_len)); len = ((char *) root) + blocksize - (char *) de; memcpy (data1, de, len); de = (struct ext3_dir_entry_2 *) data1; _
