Typically, the cryptographic APIs that fscrypt uses take keys as byte arrays, which avoids endianness issues. However, siphash_key_t is an exception. It is defined as 'u64 key[2];', i.e. the 128-bit key is expected to be given directly as two 64-bit words in CPU endianness. fscrypt_derive_dirhash_key() and fscrypt_setup_iv_ino_lblk_32_key() forgot to take this into account. Therefore, the SipHash keys used to index encrypted+casefolded directories differ on big endian vs. little endian platforms, as do the SipHash keys used to hash inode numbers for IV_INO_LBLK_32-encrypted directories. This makes such directories non-portable between these platforms. Fix this by always using the little endian order. This is a breaking change for big endian platforms, but this should be fine in practice since these features (encrypt+casefold support, and the IV_INO_LBLK_32 flag) aren't known to actually be used on any big endian platforms yet.

README
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.
