From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 787f1b2800464aa277236a66eb3c279535edd460 ] "struct bvec_iter" is defined with the __packed attribute, so it is aligned on a single byte. On X86 (and on other architectures that support unaligned addresses in hardware), "struct bvec_iter" is accessed using the 8-byte and 4-byte memory instructions, however these instructions are less efficient if they operate on unaligned addresses. (on RISC machines that don't have unaligned access in hardware, GCC generates byte-by-byte accesses that are very inefficient - see [1]) This commit reorders the entries in "struct dm_verity_io" and "struct convert_context", so that "struct bvec_iter" is aligned on 8 bytes.
