I admit that I find this patch description hard to read :) "vhost/net keeps a copy of the used ring in host memory but (ab)uses the length field for internal house-keeping. This works because the length in the used ring for tx is always 0. In order to suppress sparse errors, we need to force native endianness." ? > > Signed-off-by: Michael S.
