[PATCH 4.10 24/27] gfs2: Avoid alignment hole in struct lm_lockname

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

 



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

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

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 28ea06c46fbcab63fd9a55531387b7928a18a590 upstream.

Commit 88ffbf3e03 switches to using rhashtables for glocks, hashing over
the entire struct lm_lockname instead of its individual fields.  On some
architectures, struct lm_lockname contains a hole of uninitialized
memory due to alignment rules, which now leads to incorrect hash values.
Get rid of that hole.
