From b9d717a7b413f227ebb2d61d9c118335f7292137 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Williamson Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 14:28:02 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Make sure ctl buffer is aligned properly in sys_sendmsg(). It's on the stack and declared as "unsigned char[]", but pointers and similar can be in here thus we need to give it an explicit alignment attribute.
