Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | Subject | [PATCH v3 26/26] kfifo: DECLARE_KIFO_PTR(fifo, u64) does not work on arm 32 bit | From | Sean Young <> | Date | Tue, 10 Oct 2017 09:59:42 +0200 |

If you try to store u64 in a kfifo (or a struct with u64 members), then the buf member of __STRUCT_KFIFO_PTR will cause 4 bytes padding due to alignment (note that struct __kfifo is 20 bytes on 32 bit).
That in turn causes the __is_kfifo_ptr() to fail, which is caught by kfifo_alloc(), which now returns EINVAL.
So, ensure that __is_kfifo_ptr() compares to the right structure.
