This is the continuation (series #3) of the work done to align netlink attributes when these attributes contain some 64-bit fields. It's the last patchset from what I've seen. The last user of nla_put_u64() is block/drbd. This module does not use standard netlink API (see all the stuff in include/linux/genl_magic_struct.h and include/linux/genl_magic_func.h). I didn't modify it because it's seems hard to do it whithout testing and fully understanding the contextSomething like this should just work.
Unfortunately we had problems using unspec, that's why an explicit new padding attribute is added for each netlink attribute set. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
