From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 19:18:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Fix alignment of __condata_* Message-Id: <20061012191813.21498.394.sendpatchset@schroedinger.engr.sgi.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Fix alignment for CONFIG_IA64_SGI The _con.... variables happened to be placed on a 4 byte boundary in some compiles for CONFIG_IA64_SGI. Wasted some time chasing ghosts in functions that were never executed but modifications to these function would oops the system. Make sure that this does not happen again.
