The question could be probably different. Why are they even defined? I have grepped the kernel and all archs use these generic macros include/linux/byteorder/generic.h:94:#define be32_to_cpu __be32_to_cpu include/linux/byteorder/generic.h:106:#define be32_to_cpup __be32_to_cpup include/linux/byteorder/generic.h:118:#define be32_to_cpus __be32_to_cpus What about to remove them? Back to you question. I can't remember particular reason for that maybe just experience that __ versions should be the fastest kernel implementation. Thanks, Michal -- Michal Simek, Ing.
