[ Upstream commit 79e8328e5acbe691bbde029a52c89d70dcbc22f3 ]
Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic:
fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical] } while (!(has_zero(a, &adata, &constants) | has_zero(b, &bdata, &constants))); ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning
It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were produced with different signatures (in particular different return types).
Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros. So I think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a bool than update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or rather than bitwise-or.
[ Also changed powerpc version to do the same - Linus ]
