In commit9a69e2b385("bpf: Make remote_port field in struct bpf_sk_lookup 16-bit wide") the remote_port field has been split up and re-declared from u32 to be16. However, the accompanying changes to the context access converter have not been well thought through when it comes big-endian platforms. Today 2-byte wide loads from offsetof(struct bpf_sk_lookup, remote_port) are handled as narrow loads from a 4-byte wide field. This by itself is not enough to create a problem, but when we combine 1. 32-bit wide access to ->remote_port backed by a 16-wide wide load, with 2. inherent difference between litte- and big-endian in how narrow loads need have to be handled (see bpf_ctx_narrow_access_offset), we get inconsistent results for a 2-byte loads from &ctx->remote_port on LE and BE architectures. This in turn makes BPF C code for the common case of 2-byte load from ctx->remote_port not portable. To rectify it, inform the context access converter that remote_port is 2-byte wide field, and only 1-byte loads need to be treated as narrow loads. At the same time, we special-case the 4-byte load from &ctx->remote_port to continue handling it the same way as do today, in order to keep the existing BPF programs working.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
