I guess it wouldn't harm, but is it really necessary? Would gcc ever insert padding here, all the 32 bit fields a 32 bit aligned, and so are the 16 bit fields. > But is the order of two adjacent __le16 fields (i.e. two halves of a > quadlet) independent of host byte order? Yeah, it works for both be and le cpus. The layout is le specific, which is how the host controller wants it. cheers, Kristian - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
