Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sfc: selftest: fix struct packing

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

Three of the sfc drivers define a packed loopback_payload structure with an
ethernet header followed by an IP header. However, the kernel definition
of iphdr specifies that this is 4-byte aligned, causing a W=1 warning:

net/ethernet/sfc/siena/selftest.c:46:15: error: field ip within 'struct efx_loopback_payload' is less aligned than 'struct iphdr' and is usually due to 'struct efx_loopback_payload' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
struct iphdr ip;

As the iphdr packing is not easily changed without breaking other code,
change the three structures to use a local definition instead.

Duplicating the definition isn't the prettiest thing in the world; it'd
do for a quick fix if needed but I assume W=1 warnings aren't blocking
anyone, so maybe defer this one for now and I'll follow up soon with a
rewrite that fixes this more cleanly? My idea is to drop the __packed
from the containing struct, make efx_begin_loopback() copy the layers
separately, and efx_loopback_rx_packet() similarly do something less
direct than casting the packet data to the struct.

But I don't insist on it; if you want this fix in immediately then I'm
okay with that too.

It's not urgent, if you can come up with a nicer solution, that is
probably better than applying my patch now. I have a patch [1] that
addresses -Wunaligned-access for all x86 and arm randconfig builds,
and this currently affects 23 drivers. Most of the changes don't
have changelog texts yet, and some need a more detailed analysis to
come up with a correct patch. I'd probably aim for linux-6.6 or
later to get them all done, at which point we could move the warning
from W=1 to the default set.

Maybe you can get away with adding a 16bit pad before the ethernet
header so that the IP header is actually aligned.

(Then fight all the stuff that stops you doing a memcpy()
that runs into a second field of a structure.)

Failing that maybe a single shared copy of the misaligned
IP header.

I also suspect you could just add __packed to the two 32bit
address fields.
That would generate better code on systems that care.

That's what I ended up doing, because my original idea was
overcomplicated and turned out super ugly.
See https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/T/

Yeah, I don't know how you're meant to annotate that stuff.
I guess I'll have to wait until Kees shouts at me and tells
me what to do :S
