[PATCHv2] echi: remove structure packing from ehci_def

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As pointed out by Arnd Bergmann, in include/linux/usb/ehci_def.h, struct
ehci_caps is defined with __attribute__((packed)) for no good reason,
and this triggers undefined behaviour when using ARM's readl() on
pointers to elements of this structure:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201102021700.20683.arnd@xxxxxxxx

The same problem exists with the other two structures in ehci_def.h too,
so remove the __attribute__((packed)) from all of them.
