Subject: [PATCH] i40e: remove unnecessary __packed
Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2016 13:53:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1479592438-17078-1-git-send-email-tushar.n.dave@oracle.com> (raw)
'struct i40e_dma_mem' defined with 'packed' directive causing kernel
unaligned errors on sparc.
e.g.
i40e: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection XL710 Network Driver - version
1.6.16-k
i40e: Copyright (c) 2013 - 2014 Intel Corporation.
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[44894c] dma_4v_alloc_coherent+0x1ac/0x300

i40e 0000:03:00.0: fw 5.1.40981 api 1.5 nvm 5.04 0x80002548 0.0.0
This can be fixed with get_unaligned/put_unaligned(). However no
reference in driver shows that 'struct i40e_dma_mem' directly shoved
into NIC hardware. But instead fields of the struct are being read and
used for hardware. Therefore, __packed is unnecessary for 'struct
i40e_dma_mem'.
In addition, although 'struct i40e_virt_mem' doesn't cause any
unaligned access, keeping it packed is unnecessary as well because
of aforementioned reason.
This change make 'struct i40e_dma_mem' and 'struct i40e_virt_mem'
unpacked.
