X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16.28-rc1~1245^2~1^2~6 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9834a2bb4970;p=karo-tx-linux.git [SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet. On 64 bit architectures, sctp_cookie sent as part of INIT-ACK is not aligned on a 64 bit boundry and thus causes unaligned access exceptions. The layout of the cookie prameter is this: |<----- Parameter Header --------------------|<--- Cookie DATA -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | param type (16 bits) | param len (16 bits) | sig [32 bytes] | cookie.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The cookie data portion contains 64 bit values on 64 bit architechtures (timeval) that fall on a 32 bit alignment boundry when used as part of the on-wire format, but align correctly when used in internal structures. This patch explicitely pads the on-wire format so that it is properly aligned.
