[PATCH 4.3 154/200] ext4: fix an endianness bug in ext4_encrypted_zeroout()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Feb 14 2016 - 18:17:05 EST


4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e2c9e0b28e146c9a3bce21408f3c02e24ac7ac31 upstream.

ex->ee_block is not host-endian (note that accesses of other fields
of *ex right next to that line go through the helpers that do proper
conversion from little-endian to host-endian; it might make sense
to add similar for ->ee_block to avoid reintroducing that kind of
bugs...)
