[ Upstream commit79e8328e5a] Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic: fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical] } while (!(has_zero(a, &adata, &constants) | has_zero(b, &bdata, &constants))); ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were produced with different signatures (in particular different return types). Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros. So I think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a bool than update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or rather than bitwise-or.

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.
