Subject: [LTP] Patch to cover fallocate issue

Dear All,

I'm using latest LTP-full-20101031 cross-built for SH based platforms.

I'd like to submit a fix related to "fallocate" testcase (fallocate01,fallocate02,fallocate03).

Currently, the testcase checks the fallocate syscall also in case of "such" (and not "all") architectures with wordsize=32: ppc64, ppc, x86_64. Clearly, the testcase manages the parameters -for the fallocate syscall- according to the endianess supported by the above archs.

The so developed testcase will fail for all the architectures -with wordsize=32- and/or different endianess, with respect to the ones (board and/or endianess) above described and currently supported in the tests (for instance, the test failed in case of execution on SH based platforms!).

Please, find in attach a patch which aim is to extend the fallocate testcase(all subtests: fallocate01,fallocate02,fallocate03) to all the architectures with wordsize=32 both big and little endian.

Regards,
Francesco
