While mainline U-Boot does not support Octeon, we have our own fork of it that
I maintain. I am using the 2018.07 release with only a few minor changes
around the periphery to support the older version of U-Boot Octeon is based
off of. I found one source of the corruption in ext4fs_get_new_inode_no()
where it is setting bgd->bg_itable_unused without cpu_to_le16, which causes
this to break on big-endian systems. Additionally, for 64-bit filesystems,
bg_itable_unused_high never gets set.
The biggest issue is the lack of cpu_to_le16() which causes incorrect data to
be written into the block group descriptor.
This is easy to see in the code and easy to replicate on a big-endian
platform.
I also saw some corruption occurring on our OcteonTX platform which is based
off of 2018.07 with minimal changes to U-Boot, though I need to investigate
this more.
Unrelated to this, one other thing to note is that I noticed that U-Boot does
not use extents when writing large files and is very slow. I think fixing this
would be a major project, though.
