From: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@xxxxxx> The argument structs are used in arrays for G_TOPOLOGY IOCTL. The arguments themselves do not need to be aligned to a power of two, but aligning them up to the largest basic type alignment (u64) on common ABIs is a good thing to do. The patch changes the size of the reserved fields to 5 or 6 u32's and aligns the size of the struct to 8 bytes so we do no longer depend on the compiler to perform the alignment. While at it, add __attribute__ ((packed)) to these structs as well. Signed-off-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- since v2: - Use 5 or 6 __u32's for alignment instead of 8 or 9, except for struct media_v2_interface. - Add __attribute__ ((packed)). include/uapi/linux/media.h | 18 +++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/media.h b/include/uapi/linux/media.h index 95e126e..860932f 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/media.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/media.h @@ -319,14 +319,14 @@ struct media_v2_entity { __u32 id; char name[64]; /* FIXME: move to a property?
