Should we instead update the
store
andload
from the mock interface to write and read little endian values so we don't need to use the conversion in all tests?There was a problem hiding this comment.

I thought about that, the problem is that we don't always want to do the endianess translation. For instance, we don't want to do it for
Descriptor
, as it's already in the right endianess. Adding a new dedicated method doesn't solve the problem, as the dev would still need if the conversion needs to be done. I think the only "right" solution would be revamping the mock objects to avoid naked loads/stores from/to memory, having dedicated methods for each field with the right types, but that seems like too huge of a change to me.Being pragmatic, as this only affects tests and it's probably going to be very hard to integrate a big-endian machine into the CI, I think it's fine if they get broken from time to time. I'll give them a try on each new virtiofsd-rs release and fix them if needed.

Sounds good. We want to do some more improvements to the mock interface, do you mind opening an issue with this suggestion that you just mentioned?

Sure, I've created #123 to track this. Thanks!
