Those types are representing messages on the wire ?

In that case those types aren't suitable. For example "long" will have
a different size and alignment for 32 and 64-bit userspace. There are
size-explicit userspace types available.

Also I didn't see any endianness annotations in there. Is that expected
? IE are those wire format packets ?

Cheers,
Ben.


Only the 'peci_xfer_msg' struct is representing messages on the wire. All userspace messages which is using other struct definitions will be copied into the 'peci_xfer_msg' for each member variable in driver, but anyway, type definitions of each member variable should be fixed as you said. Will fix it.

Thanks,
Jae
