There is a
#pragma pack(1)
in linux 203 of this file!
It looks like some of the members in struct raid_map_data
and struct CommandListHeader need to be annotated as packed,
but the file accidentally packs everything until the '#pragma pack()'
in line 875, including the kernel-side CommandList data structure
that clearly must not be packed.
