Building an allmodconfig ARM kernel, I get multiple such
warnings because of a spinlock contained in packed structure
in the 3w-xxxx driver:
../drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c: In function 'tw_chrdev_ioctl':
../drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c:1001:68: warning: mis-aligned access used for structure member [-fstrict-volatile-bitfields]
timeout = wait_event_timeout(tw_dev->ioctl_wqueue, tw_dev->chrdev_request_id == TW_IOCTL_CHRDEV_FREE, timeout);
^
../drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.c:1001:68: note: when a volatile object spans multiple type-sized locations, the compiler must choose between using a single mis-aligned access to preserve the volatility, or using multiple aligned accesses to avoid runtime faults; this code may fail at runtime if the hardware does not allow this access
The same bug apparently was present in 3w-sas and 3w-9xxx, but has been
fixed in the past. This patch uses the same fix by moving the pragma
in front of the TW_Device_Extension definition, so it only covers
hardware structures.
