Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: fix Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() if the Ethernet addresses are __aligned(2)
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 18:44:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150121164458.GA10302@lin-535U4C> (raw)
This patch fixes the following checkpatch.pl warning:
fix Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy()
if the Ethernet addresses are __aligned(2)
Pahole showed that the 2 structs are aligned to u16
struct ieee80211_hdr {
__le16 frame_control; /* 0 2 */
__le16 duration_id; /* 2 2 */
u8 addr1[6]; /* 4 6 */
u8 addr2[6]; /* 10 6 */
u8 addr3[6]; /* 16 6 */
__le16 seq_ctrl; /* 22 2 */
u8 addr4[6]; /* 24 6 */
/* size: 30, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
/* last cacheline: 30 bytes */
};
struct vnt_mic_hdr {
u8 id; /* 0 1 */
u8 tx_priority; /* 1 1 */
u8 mic_addr2[6]; /* 2 6 */
u8 ccmp_pn[6]; /* 8 6 */
__be16 payload_len; /* 14 2 */
__be16 hlen; /* 16 2 */
__le16 frame_control; /* 18 2 */
u8 addr1[6]; /* 20 6 */
u8 addr2[6]; /* 26 6 */
u8 addr3[6]; /* 32 6 */
__le16 seq_ctrl; /* 38 2 */
u8 addr4[6]; /* 40 6 */
u16 packing; /* 46 2 */
/* size: 48, cachelines: 1, members: 13 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */
};
