Subject: [PATCH] xen/block: Correctly define structures in public headers on ARM32 and ARM64
Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 15:09:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386083382-7306-1-git-send-email-julien.grall@linaro.org> (raw)
On ARM (32 bits and 64 bits), the double-word is 8-bytes aligned. This will
result on different structure from Xen and Linux repositories.
As Linux is using __packed__ attribute, it must have a 4-bytes padding before
each "id" field.
This change breaks guest block support with older kernel. IMHO, it's acceptable
because Xen on ARM is still on Tech Preview and the hypercall ABI is not yet
freezed.
