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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 4a9723e8df68cfce4048517ee32e37f78854b6fb upstream.

Having descriptors aligned on 64 bits allows update CNDA and CUBC in an
atomic way.
