The full structure is:
struct br_mrp_ring_test_hdr {
__be16 prio;
__u8 sa[ETH_ALEN];
__be16 port_role;
__be16 state;
__be16 transitions;
__be32 timestamp;
};
If i'm looking at this correctly, the byte offsets are:
0-1 prio
2-7 sa
8-9 port_role
10-11 state
12-13 transition
With packed you get
14-17 timestamp
which is not 32 bit aligned.
Do you mean the whole structure must be 32 bit aligned? We need to add
two reserved bytes to the end of the structure?
