This looks right to me. AFAIK, yes. Did you mean the old (current) one looks right, or the new one? If you meant the old/current one, well, I don't understand why the big endian definition would look like this: #elif defined(__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD) __u32 reserved:20, pad:4, cmpri:4, cmpre:4; When the RFC defines the header as follows: +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | CmprI | CmprE | Pad | Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The little endian definition looks fine. But, when it comes to big endian, you define fields as you see them on the wire with the same order, right? So the current big endian definition makes no sense. It looks like it was a wrong mix with the little endian conversion. >> diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/rpl.h b/include/uapi/linux/rpl.h >> index 1dccb55cf8c6..708adddf9f13 100644 >> --- a/include/uapi/linux/rpl.h >> +++ b/include/uapi/linux/rpl.h >> @@ -28,10 +28,10 @@ struct ipv6_rpl_sr_hdr { >> pad:4, >> reserved1:16; >> #elif defined(__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD) >> - __u32 reserved:20, >> + __u32 cmpri:4, >> + cmpre:4, >> pad:4, >> - cmpri:4, >> - cmpre:4; >> + reserved:20; >> #else >> #error "Please fix <asm/byteorder.h>" > > #endif
