This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled rtlwifi: Align private space in rtl_priv struct to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.11. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From c976313c119b2590401bb6a93d58ad3dea380d29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:21:35 -0500 Subject: rtlwifi: Align private space in rtl_priv struct commit 60ce314d1750fef843e9db70050e09e49f838b69 upstream. The private array at the end of the rtl_priv struct is not aligned. On ARM architecture, this causes an alignment trap and is fixed by aligning that array with __align(sizeof(void *)). That should properly align that space according to the requirements of all architectures.
