We copied the virtio_iommu_config from the virtio-iommu specification, which declares the fields using little-endian annotations (for example le32). Unfortunately this causes sparse to warn about comparison between little- and cpu-endian, because of the typecheck() in virtio_cread(): drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1024:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different base types): drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1024:9: sparse: restricted __le64 * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1024:9: sparse: unsigned long long * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1036:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different base types): drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1036:9: sparse: restricted __le64 * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1036:9: sparse: unsigned long long * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1040:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different base types): drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1040:9: sparse: restricted __le64 * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1040:9: sparse: unsigned long long * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1044:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different base types): drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1044:9: sparse: restricted __le32 * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1044:9: sparse: unsigned int * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1048:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different base types): drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1048:9: sparse: restricted __le32 * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1048:9: sparse: unsigned int * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1052:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different base types): drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1052:9: sparse: restricted __le32 * drivers/iommu/virtio-iommu.c:1052:9: sparse: unsigned int * Although virtio_cread() does convert virtio-endian (in our case little-endian) to cpu-endian, the typecheck() needs the two arguments to have the same endianness. Do as UAPI headers of other virtio devices do, and remove the endian annotation from the device config. Even though we change the UAPI this shouldn't cause any regression since QEMU, the existing implementation of virtio-iommu that uses this header, already removes the annotations when importing headers.

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.
