Subject: [PATCH] wifi: b43: fix incorrect __packed annotation
Date: Tue, 16 May 2023 09:45:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230516074554.1674536-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
clang warns about an unpacked structure inside of a packed one:
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/b43.h:654:4: error: field data within 'struct b43_iv' is less aligned than 'union (unnamed union at /home/arnd/arm-soc/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/b43.h:651:2)' and is usually due to 'struct b43_iv' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
The problem here is that the anonymous union has the default alignment
from its members, apparently because the original author mixed up the
placement of the __packed attribute by placing it next to the struct
member rather than the union definition. As the struct itself is
also marked as __packed, there is no need to mark its members, so just
move the annotation to the inner type instead.
