From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:58:29 +0000 (+0200) Subject: 3w-xxxx: fix mis-aligned struct accesses X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4bfaa5c4b99ddec00907e854d70453bd2aef39a0;p=linux-beck.git 3w-xxxx: fix mis-aligned struct accesses Building an allmodconfig ARM kernel, I get multiple such warnings because of a spinlock contained in packed structure in the 3w-xxxx driver: ../drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c: In function 'tw_chrdev_ioctl': ../drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c:1001:68: warning: mis-aligned access used for structure member [-fstrict-volatile-bitfields] timeout = wait_event_timeout(tw_dev->ioctl_wqueue, tw_dev->chrdev_request_id == TW_IOCTL_CHRDEV_FREE, timeout); ^ ../drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c:1001:68: note: when a volatile object spans multiple type-sized locations, the compiler must choose between using a single mis-aligned access to preserve the volatility, or using multiple aligned accesses to avoid runtime faults; this code may fail at runtime if the hardware does not allow this access The same bug apparently was present in 3w-sas and 3w-9xxx, but has been fixed in the past. This patch uses the same fix by moving the pragma in front of the TW_Device_Extension definition, so it only covers hardware structures.
