Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix unaligned access in readdir
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 16:48:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071226154857.GA3472@lst.de> (raw)

This patch should fix the issue seen on Alpha with unaligned accesses
in the new readdir code.   By aligning each dirent to sizeof(u64) we'll
avoid unaligned accesses.  To make doubly sure we're not hitting
problems also rearrange struct hack_dirent to avoid holes.
