I believe compat_u64 and compat_s64 both have aligned(4). It is also wrong, consider: struct foo { char x; struct compat_flock64 fl64; }; There should be 3 bytes of padding after 'x'. But you've removed it. David - Registered Address Lakeside, Bramley Road, Mount Farm, Milton Keynes, MK1 1PT, UK Registration No: 1397386 (Wales)
