[ Upstream commit4e86f32a13
] Recently the kernel test robot has reported an ARM-specific BUILD_BUG_ON() in an old and unmaintained wil6210 wireless driver. The problem comes from the structure packing rules of old ARM ABI ('-mabi=apcs-gnu'). For example, the following structure is packed to 18 bytes instead of 16: struct poorly_packed { unsigned int a; unsigned int b; unsigned short c; union { struct { unsigned short d; unsigned int e; } __attribute__((packed)); struct { unsigned short d; unsigned int e; } __attribute__((packed)) inner; }; } __attribute__((packed)); To fit it into 16 bytes, it's required to add packed attribute to the container union as well: struct poorly_packed { unsigned int a; unsigned int b; unsigned short c; union { struct { unsigned short d; unsigned int e; } __attribute__((packed)); struct { unsigned short d; unsigned int e; } __attribute__((packed)) inner; } __attribute__((packed)); } __attribute__((packed)); Thanks to Andrew Pinski of GCC team for sorting the things out at https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2023-November/242888.html.
