When building the kernel for the ARM architecture without setting CONFIG_AEABI, size of struct lov_user_md_v3 and struct lov_mds_md_v3 differs, due to different alignment requirements of OABI and EABI. Marking the anonymous union within struct lov_user_md_v3 as '_packed' solves this issue. Otherwise we get the following error: drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/lov/lov_pack.c:352:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘BUILD_BUG_ON’ BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(lum) != sizeof(struct lov_mds_md_v3)); Signed-off-by: Cihangir Akturk <cakturk@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre/lustre_user.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre/lustre_user.h b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre/lustre_user.h index edff8dc..4f72cb6 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre/lustre_user.h +++ b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre/lustre_user.h @@ -388,7 +388,7 @@ struct lov_user_md_v3 { /* LOV EA user data (host-endian) */ __u16 lmm_layout_gen; /* layout generation number * used when reading */ - }; + } __packed; char lmm_pool_name[LOV_MAXPOOLNAME + 1]; /* pool name */ struct lov_user_ost_data_v1 lmm_objects[0]; /* per-stripe data */ } __packed; -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
