From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When using ip_set with counters and comment, traffic causes the kernel to panic on 32-bit ARM: Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1b82f9f at [<bf01b0dc>] Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x221) at 0xea08133c PC is at ip_set_match_extensions+0xe0/0x224 [ip_set] The problem occurs when we try to update the 64-bit counters - the faulting address above is not 64-bit aligned. The problem occurs due to the way elements are allocated, for example: set->dsize = ip_set_elem_len(set, tb, 0, 0); map = ip_set_alloc(sizeof(*map) + elements * set->dsize); If the element has a requirement for a member to be 64-bit aligned, and set->dsize is not a multiple of 8, but is a multiple of four, then every odd numbered elements will be misaligned - and hitting an atomic64_add() on that element will cause the kernel to panic. ip_set_elem_len() must return a size that is rounded to the maximum alignment of any extension field stored in the element. This change ensures that is the case.
