The current memory accessors logic is: - little endian if little_endian - native endian (i.e. no byteswap) if !little_endian If we want to fully support cross-endian vhost, we also need to be able to convert to big endian. Instead of changing the little_endian argument to some 3-value enum, this patch changes the logic to: - little endian if little_endian - big endia...

Hi, This patchset allows vhost to be used with legacy virtio when guest and host have a different endianness. Patches 1-6 remain the same as the previous post. Patch 7 was heavily changed according to MST's comments. --- Greg Kurz (7): virtio: introduce virtio_is_little_endian() helper tun: add tun_is_little_endian() helper macvtap: introduce macvtap_is_little_endian() helper vringh: introduce vringh_is_little_endian() helper vhost: introduce vhost_is_little_endian() helper virtio: add explicit big-endian support to memory accessors vh...

it seems that this check does not work on solaris #if BYTE_ORDER != LITTLE_ENDIAN #define BYTE_SWAP #endif could you please check that BYTE_SWAP is defined in rijndael.c -m

.... I have also introduced patch 8 that brings BE vnet headers support to tun/macvtap. This series is enough to have vhost_net working flawlessly.
