You could also use an unnamed union. probably: struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage_compat32 { union { __kernel_sa_family_t ss_family; /* address family */ char __data[_K_SS_MAXSIZE]; /* Pad to correct size */ } }; > +struct sctp_assoc_stats_compat32 { > + int32_t sas_assoc_id; /* Input */ > + /* Transport of observed max RTO */ > + struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage_compat32 sas_obs_rto_ipaddr; > + uint64_t sas_maxrto; /* Maximum Observed RTO for period */ > + uint64_t sas_isacks; /* SACKs received */ > + uint64_t sas_osacks; /* SACKs sent */ > + uint64_t sas_opackets; /* Packets sent */ > + uint64_t sas_ipackets; /* Packets received */ > + uint64_t sas_rtxchunks; /* Retransmitted Chunks */ > + uint64_t sas_outofseqtsns;/* TSN received > next expected */ > + uint64_t sas_idupchunks; /* Dups received (ordered+unordered) */ > + uint64_t sas_gapcnt; /* Gap Acknowledgements Received */ > + uint64_t sas_ouodchunks; /* Unordered data chunks sent */ > + uint64_t sas_iuodchunks; /* Unordered data chunks received */ > + uint64_t sas_oodchunks; /* Ordered data chunks sent */ > + uint64_t sas_iodchunks; /* Ordered data chunks received */ > + uint64_t sas_octrlchunks; /* Control chunks sent */ > + uint64_t sas_ictrlchunks; /* Control chunks received */ > +} __attribute__ ((packed,aligned(4))); Isn't there a 'uint64_t with the alignment needed for 32bit apps' that can be used for the uint64_t structure members? It will be needed for a lot of compat fields. Then you don't need the attribute here either. It would then be right for any 32bit architectures where u64 is 8 byte aligned.
