Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: reorder struct inet6_ifaddr to remove padding on 64 bit builds
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:32:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1237476760.3266.13.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

reorder struct inet6_ifaddr to remove padding on 64 bit builds
    
remove 8 bytes of padding so inet6_ifaddr becomes 192 bytes & fits into
a smaller slab.
    
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>
----
patch against v2.6.29-rc8

I've compiled & booted with this patch, modules ipv6 & ip6_tables load
successfully, but I've not run any other tests.

regards
Richard
