Subject[PATCH 4.14 40/52] mac80211: Add attribute aligned(2) to struct action
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 7c53eb5d87bc21464da4268c3c0c47457b6d9c9b ]

During refactor in commit 9e478066eae4 ("mac80211: fix MU-MIMO
follow-MAC mode") a new struct 'action' was declared with packed
attribute as:

struct {
struct ieee80211_hdr_3addr hdr;
u8 category;
u8 action_code;
} __packed action;

But since struct 'ieee80211_hdr_3addr' is declared with an aligned
keyword as:

struct ieee80211_hdr {
__le16 frame_control;
__le16 duration_id;
u8 addr1[ETH_ALEN];
u8 addr2[ETH_ALEN];
u8 addr3[ETH_ALEN];
__le16 seq_ctrl;
u8 addr4[ETH_ALEN];
} __packed __aligned(2);

Solve the ambiguity of placing aligned structure in a packed one by
adding the aligned(2) attribute to struct 'action'.

This removes the following warning (W=1):

net/mac80211/rx.c:234:2: warning: alignment 1 of 'struct <anonymous>' is less than 2 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
