set is really the most important one. NFS knows when it creates a superblock (using SELinux as an example) that it wants to set context=blah. Thus it calls into set_sb_mnt_opts with the flag for "context=" and "blah." get_sb_mnt_opts will likely get used in the future for /proc/mounts to be able to report the security options. clone is really just to make it easy for the FS. If they know "i want the new one to look like this old one" they can just call into clone_ and don't have to worry ...

I thought cramfs was "always" defined as littleendian? Either way... I thought the primary discussion was about squashfs. -hpa -

And it would suck. Hard. Endian-independent code is slower than wrong-endian code, because of the necessary conditionals. Thus, you DO NOT WANT this(*). The only way to not make it totally suck is to compile the code twice and do switching at a VERY high level -- in effect, creating two separate filesystem drivers. -hpa (*) Readonly filesystems like iso9660 have attempted to be *both*-endian, by having its datastructures in both forms at all times. That is inefficient with ...
