* [PATCH v3 26/26] kfifo: DECLARE_KIFO_PTR(fifo, u64) does not work on arm 32 bit [not found] <cover.1507618840.git.sean@mess.org> @ 2017-10-10 7:18 ` Sean Young 2017-10-10 7:59 ` Sean Young 1 sibling, 0 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: Sean Young @ 2017-10-10 7:18 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-media, linux-kernel, Stefani Seibold, Randy Dunlap; +Cc: Andrew Morton 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.
