Subject: [NET_SCHED]: cls_tcindex: fix compatibility breakage
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16.48~2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51e4ab6cf5eb8c000ef61fa862a6b610a5d2189d;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

[NET_SCHED]: cls_tcindex: fix compatibility breakage

Userspace uses an integer for TCA_TCINDEX_SHIFT, the kernel was changed
to expect and use a u16 value in 2.6.11, which broke compatibility on
big endian machines. Change back to use int.
