From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>
Typically, the cryptographic APIs that fscrypt uses take keys as byte arrays, which avoids endianness issues. However, siphash_key_t is an exception. It is defined as 'u64 key[2];', i.e. the 128-bit key is expected to be given directly as two 64-bit words in CPU endianness.
fscrypt_derive_dirhash_key() forgot to take this into account. Therefore, the SipHash keys used to index encrypted+casefolded directories differ on big endian vs. little endian platforms. This makes such directories non-portable between these platforms.
Fix this by always using the little endian order. This is a breaking change for big endian platforms, but this should be fine in practice since the encrypt+casefold support isn't known to actually be used on any big endian platforms yet.

I missed that fscrypt_setup_iv_ino_lblk_32_key() has the same bug too. I'll send out a new patch which fixes both of these...
