Subject: [PATCH] net: nixge: Add __packed attribute to DMA descriptor struct

From: Moritz Fischer <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 09:54:53 -0700

Add __packed attribute to DMA descriptor structure  in order to
make sure that the DMA engine's alignemnt requirements are met.

Fixes commit 492caffa8a1a ("net: ethernet: nixge: Add support for
National Instruments XGE netdev")

Hi David,

this addresses an issue where padding occured breaking the alignment
in the array the descriptors are allocated in coherent memory.
This was discovered when we tried to bring up the driver via a PCIe
bridge on x86.

Thanks,

Moritz
