Hello, The (linux) kernel has endianess-aware integer types (__be_u16 or something similar) which allow the access to be checked for endianess problems (basically reading an endianess-annotated type into a non-endianess-specified (ie native endianess) type must go through a byte order macro).
You have to annotate by hand all shared structures with these types. In your case, this would be all network-shared structures. I'm not sure the compiler does the check though, it may be an external tool. It could be however very interesting to generalize this outside of the kernel.
