Also in:
lkml
struct ethtool_wolinfo {
__u32 cmd;
__u32 supported;
__u32 wolopts;
__u8 sopass[SOPASS_MAX]; // 6, actually
};
we could do
struct ethtool_wolinfo {
__u32 cmd;
__u32 supported;
__u32 wolopts;
__u8 sopass[SOPASS_MAX]; // 6, actually
__u8 reserved[2];
};
and then the compiler has to properly treat it, since it's no longer
unnamed padding.Although, on some architectures, that could actually break the ABI by changing the size, oh well. johannes
