The parameter CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is used to clear the specific byte in qrwlock structure. Without this parameter, we clear the wrong byte. Here is the code. static inline u8 *__qrwlock_write_byte(struct qrwlock *lock) { return (u8 *)lock + 3 * IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN); } Here is the previous discussion. http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg178101.html Based on the discussion, it was decided to add CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all the fixed big endian architecture(frv, h8300, m68k, openrisc, parisc and sparc). And warn if there are inconsistencies in this definition.
