Yes, I think we will need both though, I think, byte swapping the
whole struct will break the code but swapping individual fields is
what we need.
Myself, I'm defining bitfields as below:
struct CMDCompletionWait {
#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD
uint32_t type:4; /* command type */
uint32_t reserved:8;
uint64_t store_addr:49; /* addr to write */
uint32_t completion_flush:1; /* allow more executions */
uint32_t completion_int:1; /* set MMIOWAITINT */
uint32_t completion_store:1; /* write data to address */
#else
uint32_t completion_store:1;
uint32_t completion_int:1;
uint32_t completion_flush:1;
uint64_t store_addr:49;
uint32_t reserved:8;
uint32_t type:4;
#endif /* __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD */
uint64_t store_data; /* data to write */
if
} QEMU_PACKED;
So, the bitfields are basically aligned to a {1,2,4,8}-byte boundary.
I will have to swap store_addr,type, store_data, e.t.c.
