3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 003c941057eaa868ca6fedd29a274c863167230d ]
Fix up a data alignment issue on sparc by swapping the order
of the cookie byte array field with the length field in
struct tcp_fastopen_cookie, and making it a proper union
to clean up the typecasting.
This addresses log complaints like these:
log_unaligned: 113 callbacks suppressed
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[976490] tcp_try_fastopen+0x2d0/0x360
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[9764ac] tcp_try_fastopen+0x2ec/0x360
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[9764c8] tcp_try_fastopen+0x308/0x360
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[9764e4] tcp_try_fastopen+0x324/0x360
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[976490] tcp_try_fastopen+0x2d0/0x360
