[PATCH net-next 0/3] sfc: fix unaligned access in loopback selftests

[PATCH net-next 0/3] sfc: fix unaligned access in loopback selftests

[edward.cree]

From: Edward Cree <ecree.xilinx@gmail.com>

Arnd reported that the sfc drivers each define a packed loopback_payload
 structure with an ethernet header followed by an IP header, whereas the
 kernel definition of iphdr specifies that this is 4-byte aligned,
 causing a W=1 warning.
Fix this in each case by adding two bytes of leading padding to the
 struct, taking care that these are not sent on the wire.
Tested on EF10; build-tested on Siena and Falcon.

Edward Cree (3):
  sfc: use padding to fix alignment in loopback test
  sfc: siena: use padding to fix alignment in loopback test
  sfc: falcon: use padding to fix alignment in loopback test

[PATCH net-next 1/3] sfc: use padding to fix alignment in loopback test

[edward.cree]

From: Edward Cree <ecree.xilinx@gmail.com>

Add two bytes of padding to the start of struct efx_loopback_payload,
 which are not sent on the wire.  This ensures the 'ip' member is
 4-byte aligned, preventing the following W=1 warning:
net/ethernet/sfc/selftest.c:46:15: error: field ip within 'struct efx_loopback_payload' is less aligned than 'struct iphdr' and is usually due to 'struct efx_loopback_payload' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
        struct iphdr ip;

There should probably be an extra __aligned(4) after the __packed,
so that the compiler knows the start of the structure is aligned,
otherwise (depending on the architecture and compiler), any access
to a member can still turn into multiple single-byte accesses.

I would also expect to still see a warning without that extra
attribute. Aside from this, the patch looks good to me.

Ok, will add that in v2.

My compiler (gcc 8.3.1) doesn't reproduce the original warning, so
 I'm flying slightly blind here :(  If you could build-test this on
 your setup with/without the __aligned(4), I'd be very grateful.

I can confirm that your patch addresses the warning for me
with any version of clang I have installed, and that the __aligned(4)
is not needed for the warning, though it is still a good idea for
code generation.
