I'm a bit confused here; I used unaligned incorrectly in that context - it's my mistake, but it couldn't be prevented by checkpatch as it is too simple to understand structure member alignment. As for using ether_addr* family instead of mem* - It's nice syntactic sugar for slow-path code. > Of course this thing is really only useful for > non x86 systems and then only when the memcpy is > in a fast-path like multicasting so really it's > not very commonly a significant improvement in > the first place. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
