I think the openrisc cross-compiler is broken. VRING_AVAIL_ALIGN_SIZE is 2 *vq->avail is: struct vring_avail { __virtio16 flags; __virtio16 idx; __virtio16 ring[]; }; And __virtio16 is just a u16 with some sparse annotations. Looking at openrisc architecture document: Operand: Length addr[3:0] if aligned Halfword (or half) 2 bytes Xxx0 Type C-TYPE Sizeof Alignment Openrisc Equivalent Short Signed short 2 2 Signed halfword and 16.1.2 Aggregates and Unions Aggregates (structures and arrays) and unions assume the alignment of their most strictly aligned element. So to me, it looks like your gcc violates the ABI by adding alignment requirements > 2. -- MST _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
