csum_partial() gives different results for little-endian and big-endian hosts. This causes images created on little-endian hosts and mounted on big endian hosts to see csum mismatches. This causes an endianness bug. Sparse gives a warning as csum_partial returns a restricted integer type __wsum_t and xattr_hash expects __u32. This warning acts as a reminder for this bug and should not be suppressed. This comment aims to convey these endianness issues.

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.
