When mounting file systems with a log that was dirtied on i386 on
other architectures or vice versa, log recovery is unhappy:
[ 11.068052] XFS (vdb): Torn write (CRC failure) detected at log block 0x2. Truncating head block from 0xc.
This is because the CRCs generated by i386 and other architectures
always diff. The reason for that is that sizeof(struct xlog_rec_header)
returns different values for i386 vs the rest (324 vs 328), because the
struct is not sizeof(uint64_t) aligned, and i386 has odd struct size
alignment rules.
This issue goes back to commit 13cdc853c519 ("Add log versioning, and new
super block field for the log stripe") in the xfs-import tree, which
adds log v2 support and the h_size field that causes the unaligned size.
At that time it only mattered for the crude debug only log header
checksum, but with commit

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
