From 9834a2bb4970547540222fcba04e0a37d04cb0a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Yasevich Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 11:52:12 -0800 Subject: [SCTP]: Fix sctp_cookie alignment in the packet. On 64 bit architectures, sctp_cookie sent as part of INIT-ACK is not aligned on a 64 bit boundry and thus causes unaligned access exceptions. The layout of the cookie prameter is this: |<----- Parameter Header --------------------|<--- Cookie DATA -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | param type (16 bits) | param len (16 bits) | sig [32 bytes] | cookie.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The cookie data portion contains 64 bit values on 64 bit architechtures (timeval) that fall on a 32 bit alignment boundry when used as part of the on-wire format, but align correctly when used in internal structures. This patch explicitely pads the on-wire format so that it is properly aligned.
