Subject: [PATCH v3] net/socket: fix GCC8+ Wpacked-not-aligned warnings
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2019 11:30:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1564500633-7419-1-git-send-email-cai@lca.pw> (raw)
There are a lot of those warnings with GCC8+ 64-bit,
In file included from ./include/linux/sctp.h:42,
from net/core/skbuff.c:47:
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:395:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct
sctp_paddr_change' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
} __attribute__((packed, aligned(4)));
^
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:728:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct
sctp_setpeerprim' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
} __attribute__((packed, aligned(4)));
^
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:727:26: warning: 'sspp_addr' offset 4 in
'struct sctp_setpeerprim' isn't aligned to 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
struct sockaddr_storage sspp_addr;
^~~~~~~~~
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:741:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct
sctp_prim' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
} __attribute__((packed, aligned(4)));
^
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:740:26: warning: 'ssp_addr' offset 4 in

struct sockaddr_storage ssp_addr;
^~~~~~~~
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:792:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct
sctp_paddrparams' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
} __attribute__((packed, aligned(4)));

./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:784:26: warning: 'spp_address' offset 4 in

struct sockaddr_storage spp_address;
^~~~~~~~~~~
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:905:1: warning: alignment 4 of 'struct
sctp_paddrinfo' is less than 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
} __attribute__((packed, aligned(4)));
^
./include/uapi/linux/sctp.h:899:26: warning: 'spinfo_address' offset 4
in 'struct sctp_paddrinfo' isn't aligned to 8 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
struct sockaddr_storage spinfo_address;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is because the commit 20c9c825b12f ("[SCTP] Fix SCTP socket options
to work with 32-bit apps on 64-bit kernels.") added "packed, aligned(4)"
GCC attributes to some structures but one of the members, i.e, "struct
sockaddr_storage" in those structures has the attribute,
"aligned(__alignof__ (struct sockaddr *)" which is 8-byte on 64-bit
systems, so the commit overwrites the designed alignments for
"sockaddr_storage".
To fix this, "struct sockaddr_storage" needs to be aligned to 4-byte as
it is only used in those packed sctp structure which is part of UAPI,
and "struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage" is used in some other
places of UAPI that need not to change alignments in order to not
breaking userspace.
Use an implicit alignment for "struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage" so it
can keep the same alignments as a member in both packed and un-packed
structures without breaking UAPI.

v3: Add some comments and rearrange the public member first per David.
v2: Use an implicit alignment for "struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage".
