[PATCH]resend: unaligned access in irda protocol stack

From: Luke Yang
Date: Mon Jul 10 2006 - 23:17:14 EST


Hi all,

I decided to regenerat and resend a whold patch for this:

For "struct irda_device_info" in irda.h:
struct irda_device_info {
__u32 saddr; /* Address of local interface */
__u32 daddr; /* Address of remote device */
char info[22]; /* Description */
__u8 charset; /* Charset used for description */
__u8 hints[2]; /* Hint bits */
};
The "hints" member aligns at the third byte of a word, an odd
address. So if we visit "hints" as a short in irlmp.c and discorery.c:

u16ho(irlmp->discovery_cmd.data.hints) = irlmp->hints.word;

will cause alignment problem on some machines. Architectures with
strict alignment rules do not allow 16-bit read on an odd address.
